"...After learning about our situation, what do you plan to do?"

After struggling for a moment, she gave a response.

"Of course, we'll find you all and kill you."

Xu Shi's reply was unusually sincere: "Don't tell me you're scared. If you're really scared, just commit suicide. There's nothing shameful about it."

"...an incomprehensible request."

Miss Saint tilted her head and said calmly after a moment.

Xu Shi secretly rolled his eyes; it seemed that his provocation tactic wasn't working.

"Let's get down to business. How long have you been around? And who founded this organization?"

He changed his approach and started to use direct, indirect methods to elicit information.

Unfortunately, this method also failed.

"The will of the 'Observer' has been erased; the consciousness link is about to be severed."

The saintess's voice gradually weakened, and her body went limp again.

"Hello……"

Xu tried to stop it, but he couldn't stop it. He could only watch helplessly as she turned to ashes and disappeared into this space of consciousness.

Mr. Xu was no stranger to this method; Night City also had technology that could force cyborgs to self-destruct.

But the clue he had finally found was gone just like that, which inevitably made him a little unhappy.

But things have already come to this, and there's no use in cursing or complaining; it won't change anything.

All he can do is break free from the "threshold space" and return to reality from the spiritual realm.

Time flows slightly slower in reality, but by the time his consciousness returned, the battle inside the church had long since ended.

Without the Holy Maiden's leadership, the Church was instantly leaderless, and the outcome was obvious.

All Xu Shi's side needed to do was clean up the battlefield and tally the casualties.

"Young Master? How are you?"

Su Lin stayed by his side the whole time, and when she saw him come back to his senses, she hurriedly asked him what was wrong.

"It's alright, just don't teleport so suddenly next time... hmm?"

Xu Shi composed himself, only to find that the others were looking at him strangely.

Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?

He subconsciously touched his face and asked curiously.

Everyone shook their heads in unison, because the strange gaze wasn't actually directed at him, but at the legitimate first wife beside him.

At first, the scene was so chaotic that no one noticed. But after the puppetized Vatican personnel fell one by one like disconnected wires, they belatedly realized that some people had taken advantage of their positions to secretly kiss each other several times.

Su Lin, you have no shame! Everyone's fighting a war, and you're flirting like this? What kind of crazy woman are you?!

To reiterate, sharing things might not be a problem for everyone, but leaking them will always be an act that deserves to be condemned.

Director Su turned his face away as naturally as possible. He was a little guilty, but he really couldn't help it.

Who could blame him? The young master was just so adorable in that state! He looked a little silly...

Not to mention how long it's been since she's been with Xu Shi. She's only been shameless and knows how to restrain herself when they kiss, otherwise they might have just done it right there and then.

Don't even mention that the war is still raging. Once the enemy's commander falls, what's the point of expending any effort on the rest? We can clean up the battlefield without needing to do anything.

"...It's nothing, I just rarely see you acting silly, so I find it a little funny."

In the end, Jiang Chengcheng broke the awkward silence with a charming smile, rescuing her best friend from the predicament.

Both of these people were quite influential, and when she tried to smooth things over, the others had no choice but to keep quiet.

Xie Qingyan couldn't help but roll her eyes. She knew that Jiang Chengcheng had done similar things before, such as secretly taking pictures while Xu Shi was out of consciousness... It has to be said that you and Su Lin are truly good sisters, birds of a feather.

"Have the casualty statistics been released yet?"

Xu Shi didn't pay much attention to the strange interactions between the girls and went straight to the point.

"OK."

Of course, he didn't need to worry about such things. As soon as he finished speaking, Pan Ling came bouncing over to report.

Perhaps because the Saintess's control was abruptly cut off, the puppetized Vatican personnel were also disconnected and died instantly, beyond saving.

It can only be said that it fits the fate of cannon fodder.

However, there were survivors.

Lu Baiyan and Han Jingchuan were deliberately held back by Ye Shanshan at Xu Shi's instruction, and they had already fainted before the Holy Maiden was dragged out for a one-on-one fight.

This action saved their lives. As long as they receive proper treatment, they will definitely wake up; it's just a matter of how long it will take.

Besides that, there's only Qin Yiyan left. It has to be said that the red-haired silly girl is indeed a combatant. Despite being bombed by Tang Shuang like that, she actually survived with her thick skin. However, her situation is not as optimistic as that of her two colleagues.

Xie Qingyan then took the opportunity to provide her with temporary treatment as well.

"When did you become so kind?"

Xu Shi was greatly shocked.

"Nothing else, I just want to see how you'll get her to keep her promise."

His fiancée gave him a playful look. "Otherwise, I'll let her die."

The so-called promise is, of course, the promise made some time ago.

"Unless she has her hands tied behind her back, kneels in front of me, and begs me to do *that* to her, don't even think about it, okay?!"

The other girls also unanimously approved the decision.

Even the four who arrived later were the same – they were initially confused, but after hearing the whole story, they found it quite interesting, especially since Xu Shi actually fulfilled his promise about Dongfang Xiao, which made it even more interesting.
