Chapter 95 – 095 – Hyde Enters the Snake’s Den! #3
095 – Hyde enters the snake’s den! # 3
“My love, Psyche, the absence of something precious is felt greatly when it is not by your side.
It’s already been three days since I spent sodomy.
I realized once again what a faithful woman you were, Psyche.
When it comes to sodomy in the city where I live, all kinds of cults are running rampant.”
“Ah.”
Zek-.
I was writing on paper and put down everything I was holding on the table to message my stuffy eyes and pressed my thumbs around my eyes.
I feel like my vision is blurring, perhaps because of the dark lantern.
At this level, wouldn’t it be brighter if you open the window and write in the moonlight?
Ki Ik, Tak-.
While I was talking, I got up from my seat and opened the window.
Then, the noise and screams of loud drunkards began to be heard outside.
“Hey you bastard! I’ll kill you!”
“What you bastard! “Do you know who I am!”
The inn I was staying in, and its surroundings were never quiet for a single day.
Probably the entire sodomy in this city with a population of 50,000 is like that.
Sodomy, like Sodom and Gomorrah in the Bible, was a place so corrupt that there was no answer.
It was a place like a den where all kinds of criminals, including pickpockets, swindlers, heretics, murderers, cultists, robbers, etc., Who were trying to outwit each other, were hiding.
“It has become a land where the words of the church cannot be found.”
As far as I remember, sodomy from 5 years ago was a dirty and filthy place, but not to this extent.
At least there was a branch of the denomination, and it maintained a somewhat plausible ‘form’.
But-.
The church had completely withdrawn from the sodomy I visited this time.
All church buildings were burned down or became dirty houses for heretics, and no one kept the Sabbath day holy.
It was truly a terrible place.
“But even in the dirty and filthy Sodom and Gomorrah, there was one righteous person. This is Abraham’s nephew Lot. And even in this sodomy, there is only one righteous person.”
It was me, Hyde.
I was convinced that I was the only one in this sodomy who truly feared and believed in the Lord Elohim.
It’s truly a foreign country.
A land of foreign tribes and foreign gods.
In this place, I was feeling the spirit of challenge and the providence of the Lord Elohim.
“When the Lord came down to earth in human form, he went around immoral and corrupt places, preaching and making disciples.”
Priest.
The place they truly should be was not a pious and elegant chapel or the papal palace.
Battlefields where people die and back alleys full of con artists─.
And this sodomy-like place was where the priests were supposed to go to evangelize and enlighten people with faith and words.
“Here, I, Hyde, will realize my grand dream… !”
Zek-.
I raised my clenched hand.
To build a church in this sodomy and further purify it completely to the point where the entire city can be dedicated to the Lord.
That is the mission given to me─.
I thought so, had no doubts, and thought it was actually possible.
“Why have you been making fun of yourself since a while ago? Have you finally lost your mind?”
At that time, I heard Satan’s voice behind me.
I turned my head and saw Milione standing there, holding a wooden glass of beer full of foam in his hand.
“Hey. “I brought water.”
You crazy bitch!
It’s beer, not water!
“Milli. According to the words of the Bible, it is written not to drink alcohol.”
Genesis, Judges, Numbers, Deuteronomy, 1 and 2 Samuel—and so on and so forth—.
A huge number of Bible verses strongly warn against human drinking.
People shouldn’t drink alcohol.
Soon Milione spoke.
“Isn’t it okay as long as you don’t get drunk? The evangelist Paul said in his letter to the Ephesians, “Do not get drunk.” I won’t get drunk if I drink this. And the Lord also drank wine with his disciples, didn’t he?”
Drinking of believers.
It was an unresolved problem even in the 21st century.
In order to live a social life, you have to drink alcohol at company dinners, etc., But what should a preacher do? I hear the same story all the time.
Dinner place.
For Christians, it was always a place that made them worry more and more.
Of course, according to strict religious regulations, alcohol was ‘strictly prohibited’ at all times.
However, there were also those who interpreted the rules loosely, feeling that Jesus did not drink wine with his disciples – that it was okay to not get drunk.
Such people thought that since Jesus drank wine, I can drink too, but they did not even try to imitate the Lord’s actions of taking off his clothes and doing good deeds for the poor.
Guys like Milione.
“Hyde. Why don’t you give up now? In this sodomy, all the guys who behave like you are either dead or kicked out. “You will soon be like that too, right?”
Give up-.
Are you saying that I should become corrupt and abandon my faith like the people who commit sodomy?
That was truly impossible!

The afternoon when the sun rises the brightest.
I went out to the square where people came and went.
Then he opened the table and books he had prepared in advance and shouted at the people.
“Repent! Heaven is at hand! The heaven spoken of here is not only heaven, but it is also heaven in people’s hearts!”
When it comes to public sermons among people, there is nothing better than Matthew 4:14.
When the Lord first preached the gospel to people, he started with these words.
A 21st century seminary student.
The youngest doctor of theology at Barakhan Theological University.
“To lose one’s faith is to lose everything—!!!”
A bronze priest who is more pious and faithful than anyone else!
My sermon was enough to shake people’s hearts!
“Hey, that guy’s here again.”
“Noisy guy!”
“I ran away because cold water was poured on me, but I came back again today!”
Muhahaha! Everyone is interested in my sermon!
However, perhaps because my meaning was so high and far away, these sodomy people seemed to have difficulty understanding my sermon.
“Sometimes the Bible can feel difficult. But it doesn’t matter! Because I brought you a new book today! Hyde’s latest work, following “The Village of Back Alley Nymphs”!”
I wrote a letter to Psyche last night, and at the same time, I was planning and writing my new work.
If my previous work, “Village of Back Alley Nymphs,” Was a fairy tale for children, this work was a culmination of my theological essence written for a target audience of all ages and genders.
“Well, the book “What is Faith” Written by Hyde, the greatest priest in the United Kingdom, is now being sold for 1 gold coin! “I also included my autograph in the 10th volume of the first edition!”
An event that can almost be compared to Steve Jobs coming back to life and selling iPhones on the street.
It was clear that no one would be able to bear it.
1 gold coin.
This is practically nothing.
If it were me, I would buy it right away.
“…”
But people’s reaction was lukewarm.
How bad is the economic situation of this sodomy?
“Only 5 silver coins per book!”
Come on!
Hurry and buy it!
“5 fairy tales!”
Sarah!
But people didn’t even show any interest.
I became more aware of how poor and disadvantaged many people are in this sodomy, and it made me reflect on it.
“Ruler! “I will give away Hyde’s religious books for free!”
The Lord told us to share for those who have none.
My theological essence of being miraculously immersed in this strange world and even gaining a second life through the Holy Grail was, in fact, priceless even in money—.
Since that is the case, giving it away for free was a behavior befitting a disciple of the Lord!
I, too, still have a long way to go!
I never thought I would realize my own shortcomings in this way.
But I guess I was able to realize this realization because I am a person of faith.
“It’s free! Take them all!”
“Is it really free?”
Oh!
Someone approached me.
He was a middle-aged man with hair as shiny as the sun.
Hair shining like the sun.
It was clear that he was a person with light in his heart.
“Even in this sodomy, there remains a righteous person like the sun who cannot be hidden. “I’ll give it to you for free, so please read as much as you want.”
Suddenly I felt worried.
What should I do if I give it out to people for free, and it spreads by word of mouth and people start making a fuss about taking my religious book, “What is Faith?”
What if I beg you to sell it to me, saying I will sell it to you for 10 gold coins per book?
It must be really difficult.
When I thought about that, the man with hair like the sun opened his missing front teeth and spoke.
“No. I don’t mean to read it. I was going to the bathroom, but I needed something to wipe. This would be perfect. The paper also looks soft. “It’s perfect for wiping my butt.”
“… “What?”
“A priest. Let me tell you something. “What is faith?” Who on earth would read something like this? This is what a book means.”
Zek-.
The bald man took out an old book from his arms.
The title was written as “Devil”.
“Look at this. This is a real book. In this book, the main character, Rust, says: What is sex! We are all human beings born from sex! In other words, we are all sex! Nice! This is the truth! The truth is so simple and clear. Do you understand?”
Is this a true story?
You’re trying to compare the devil’s kindling of type mixture to a book containing my theological essence!
I couldn’t stand it.
“The Book of Demons is a mixture of type and is a very low-quality book. How could you compare such a subversive book to my book? Impossible─.”
“Uh, ugh!? Yes Inooooom!!! How dare you insult Mr. Rust!!! Compared to Mr. Rust, you are an idiot wasting the world’s air!!!”
Warak – A bald head with his hands raised.
He seemed very excited.
“Like this.”
I wasn’t even angry.
These people were so ignorant that they didn’t even know they were making a mistake.
Rather than getting angry at these people, we should have kindly educated and taught them.
“Listen everyone! Rust is a coward! The proof is that his face is covered with a mask! Can you imagine what face is underneath that mask? Obviously─.”
Kwajangchang-.
Before I could finish speaking, someone smashed my sermon podium.
Then he picked up my book and tore it up or burned it with a torch he brought from somewhere.
“Khaha! This is the candlelight play that appeared in “Rain Maiden”!”
“Good! Good! Burn it all down!”
“I feel like my body is getting hot too! Truly, Mr. Rust is great!”
These crazy people!
Burn all my books!
My manuscript was there too!
The barbaric people who burned my books didn’t stop at destroying the podium and books.
They surrounded me and finally shouted loudly.
“Let’s all beat this guy up!”
“Let’s make it impossible to preach again!”
If I continue like this, I will be beaten to death!
What should I do?
I, a Rust person, get beaten to death by his followers!
I’m not afraid of death, but if I die now, there are so many things I won’t achieve!
It was then.
“Everyone stops!”
Someone appeared.
With that appearance, people began to bow their heads one by one, and it seemed that a person of considerable authority and status had appeared in this sodomy.
Zek-.
A woman finally appears.
Her people spoke to her.
“Go, it’s Lord Galatea!”
“Is it true? This is my first time seeing the real thing! “I can’t believe such a big man appears here!”
“Our faith in Master Rust has summoned Lady Galatea to this place!”
Keekeeeeek-!
Among the crazy people, my eyesight became dizzy.
… Is this a true story?
It was a time when I was somehow holding on to my dizzying vision in many ways.
Galatea in white armor spoke to me.
“Monk Hyde, no. I guess I’ll call him Lord Hyde now. “It’s been a while.”
