As night fell, those who managed to enter the church's vicinity before darkness descended chanted phrases like "Thank the Mother Goddess for her protection" and "Praise be to the divine grace" with an almost frenzied devotion, kneeling as they moved forward, eventually gathering densely in the church's front yard.
Xu Shu, naturally, did not follow these fanatical believers, but instead remained where he was, gazing at the two Big Axe Gatekeepers.
The two small giants stood to the left and right, and after closing the big iron gate, the blades of their axes pointed inward towards the church.
This made Xu Shu quite uneasy.
If they were "guarding" against the darkness, shouldn't the axes be facing outward?
What does it mean to point inward? It feels like they're guarding prisoners.
