“Those demons and monsters can be harmed by firearms, right?” Before splitting up, 006 asked a crucial question. As long as this question had an answer, he wouldn’t worry.
Bella’s answer met his expectations. “Yes, Mr. Eric. It’s complex, but it comes down to a matter of mind over matter.”
Bella carefully chose her words to ease his mind: “We are now in an interlayer world between reality and illusion, a nightmare world imagined by Alessa, which isn’t real.”
006 tried to remember her words and made his own analysis: “You mean as long as I have unwavering faith, I can use my beliefs to kill those monsters? They are all imagined? So, I can imagine weapons here too?”
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, feeling that this gray world wasn’t so scary anymore.
Bella poured cold water on his enthusiasm: “Of course not! This is Alessa’s world, and it will always be. No matter what you imagine, it won’t work. My point is that this is a junction of reality and illusion, where many real-world rules apply. For instance, there’s gravity and air here. We can’t fly, and monsters can be killed by firearms.”
“What I want to say is that you should hold on to your own beliefs. Explaining complicated theories won’t help and might confuse you. Just remember that the physical rules of firearms apply here. Your belief can’t fight Alessa, but real-world physical rules can. She can’t arbitrarily alter the laws of physics.”
Can firearms give him confidence? 006 thought he understood.
This isn’t complicated! He checked his magazine and nodded firmly.
Having received training as a spy since childhood, if he couldn’t trust firearms, his years of training would be in vain.
He carried his weaponry with confidence, heading east alone to rescue his wife, Rose.
Bella, on the other hand, drove west in her pickup to rescue the kidnapped girl, Sharon.
The journey west was longer, and Bella couldn’t track footprints, but Xiao could. The pickup stopped occasionally to search for tracks, finally stopping in front of a three-story church.
The church had a high foundation, and the space in front of it was a graveyard, with numerous crosses stuck in the ground, indicating at least a hundred buried bodies.
Many carrion-eating crows perched on the eaves of the church, their red eyes staring intently at Bella and Xiao.
The cross at the top of the church differed from the traditional Latin cross, featuring a hexagonal hole in the middle and resembling a Jerusalem cross. However, the four ends of the cross were not closed but extended outward, with a speaker below for broadcasting air raid sirens.
Just by looking at the cross, the knowledgeable Bella could tell that this church worshipped Judaism, not Christianity.
Bella and Xiao’s arrival didn’t provoke any reaction. Inside the church, it was brightly lit, and the noise was loud, with many people shouting frantically: “Burn her! Burn her!” “Purify this sin!” “Lord, protect us!”
“Open the door! Open the door!” Bella banged on the door, but the people inside, influenced by their frenzy, couldn’t hear her.
She pushed hard, but golden light emanated from the cross at the top of the church, covering the gray-brown door in a golden layer, then the windows, walls, and eaves.
The door not only resisted Bella’s force but also pushed her back over two meters.
“Burn her! Haha!”
“Look at her pathetic state! Haha!”
“Purify her! Purify! Justice!”
The shouts inside grew louder. Bella stepped back a few steps, carefully examining the church.
As if sensing her gaze, countless golden lights layered over the church like fish scales, covering it from top to bottom.
The golden light on the church walls seemed to mock her, “Heathen! Get lost!”
“Rose could get in, but I can’t? Are you discriminating against me?”
“Give me the weapon!” Bella extended her hand. Xiao rummaged and handed her an RPG rocket launcher.
The church was so large that it didn’t need precise aiming. Loading a rocket, she pulled the trigger directly.
From just over thirty meters away, the rocket, trailing flames, hit the church door.
As Bella had explained to 006, neither she nor Alessa could impose their will over an entire world. They had to rely on real-world rules to construct a complete world.
Creating things from nothing and remaking earth, fire, water, and wind were beyond their current capabilities.
In this world, physical rules are applied, whether in the outer world or the inner world. Sufficient firepower and fierce explosions could destroy anything in this world.
The church’s faith-based protection was strong, their reliance against Alessa, but so what? Everything has limits, and Bella wasn’t afraid!
A rocket hit the golden light in front of the church, causing it to shake violently. Light spots flickered like shattered glass. As the smoke cleared, a blackened scorch mark appeared on the previously intact barrier.
The golden light layers covered the barrier again quickly, but they weren’t as bright as before.
“Forcing me to use the big guns!” Bella discarded the rocket launcher, and Xiao excitedly brought out the Gatling Bodhisattva.
The Gatling Bodhisattva that Bella borrowed from 006 was, strictly speaking, a US M134, using 7.62mm NATO standard bullets, with a muzzle velocity of 869 m/s and a theoretical firing rate of 6,000 rounds per minute.
The gun weighed 17 kg, and with the 30 kg backpack-style ammunition box, the whole weapon weighed nearly 50 kg.
Strapping on the box, connecting the ammo belt and the machine gun, Bella also put on sunglasses and earplugs, signaling Xiao to step back. She meant to show off!
Pressing the trigger on the grip, the motor powered up, gears transmitted, and the rotating body and six barrels began spinning at high speed, with the ammo belt feeding the gun.
The weight was nothing to Bella. Holding the machine gun, she unleashed a barrage of bullets at the church door, accompanied by a high-pitched hum.
The 7.62mm bullets hit the golden light, creating ripples. One or two bullets could be ignored, but in large quantities, they could cause significant damage.
Spent shells quickly covered the ground, and the muzzle flash highlighted her face’s beauty. It was an extreme beauty formed by the blend of steel, blood, machine guns, and a young woman!
Seeing her in action, Xiao was thrilled and joined in with an automatic rifle, firing wildly at the church.
