Chapter 354 What if God comes back one day...
Yin Xiu bent down and touched the figure that was jumping around at his feet. Then he raised his eyes and looked at the two people standing frozen on the platform opposite him. "How is it? Did you see it? The real God."
The girl standing in the position of the God of Misfortune shuddered, suddenly waking up, and pointed at the creature at Yin Xiu's feet, "No! Gods are not like this!!"
"God is noble and beautiful! He is not such a horrible creature! Don't try to deceive me!"
"Really?" Yin Xiu tilted his head calmly. "That's just the God you've seen. The real God is like this."
"No way!" The girl screamed in denial, "God is not like this at all! Even the God of Misfortune wouldn't look this ugly!! That's because you haven't seen the God of Misfortune! Even though the God of Misfortune represents disaster, she is still beautiful and holy. I would rather be her high priestess forever and stay by her side than be like this monster!"
Yin Xiu narrowed his eyes slowly, "Aren't you the God of Misfortune?"
The girl was stunned and immediately shut up. Yin Xiu smiled and said, "You are not the God of Misfortune, you are the High Priest."
"What should I do? Such heavy news has accidentally been heard by the entire Twin Cities."
As he spoke, Yin Xiu slowly took out a red butterfly hairpin from his pocket.
This was the one he used to contact Li Mo, but the little tentacle ball brought another one. He left the one the little tentacle ball brought at the place where he stayed last night. Yin Tianrui and the others would definitely go to that place, especially the uneasy little boy who hid the candy.
They found the red butterfly hairpin, they found Yin Xiu's voice coming from it, and then they discovered the high priest's secret and made it public.
Yin Xiu was very clear from the beginning that he was an outsider in the Twin City. Even if he had gained the respect of the gods' messengers through force, it would be difficult to make this place that believed in and even feared the gods take the initiative to question the gods.
But when they say it themselves, it’s a completely different story.
The evil god priest's face turned pale, and he glared at Yin Xiu with gritted teeth, "I will kill you! I curse you to be miserable for the rest of your life!!"
"So what if I'm the High Priest? I have the power of the God of Misfortune! I can still make the rest of your life miserable! Don't even think about leaving Twin City intact!"
Her bad tone and anger were not scary to Yin Xiu.
Yin Xiu raised his knife and stepped forward instantly.
Curse him? Kill him first.
But the moment the blade was about to chop down, a white figure blocked the way of the Priest of the God of Misfortune. It was the other twin, the Priest of the God of Luck.
Compared to the Priestess of the God of Misfortune, she was much calmer and more composed, and appeared softer. She raised her eyes to look at Yin Xiu and said softly, "I'm sorry, my sister spoke rudely. You won't be cursed. I will bless you, so could you please let my sister go? Twin Cities cannot do without us."
Yin Xiu stared at the girl intently. Despite someone who didn't exude any threat, Yin Xiu followed his aunt's instructions and retracted the knife. "I'm going to ask you for some information. If you can answer truthfully, I'll reluctantly forgive your sister."
The priestess of the evil god bit her lower lip and said nothing, staring at Yin Xiu with a pale face. It would be easy for this dangerous man and his strange monster to kill them. She was angry, but dared not say anything.
If the lucky priest had not stood in front of her, she would have died by now.
"Can this thing of yours allow people outside to hear our conversation?" asked the priest of the God of Fortune in a low voice.
Yin Xiu nodded.
"That's perfect... Now that the secret of the Twin Cities can no longer be concealed, we don't need to hide it any longer." The priest of the God of Fortune slowly walked back to his seat and looked out the window.
"I'm sorry to disappoint the citizens of Twin City. For the past three months, it wasn't the God of Fortune who has been controlling Twin City, but our two high priests."
"But we have no intention of deceiving you. We are forced to do so because... there are no gods left in Twin City."
Yin Xiu had already guessed this in advance. For him, this was not too shocking news. Everything had been hinted at a long time ago, but the priest of the God of Fortune added another sentence.
"It's not just our Twin Cities. The gods of all the cities have disappeared. There are no gods in this world anymore. All we have are the high priests who still have some power."
Yin Xiu frowned unconsciously, "All cities are without gods?"
The lucky priest nodded. "After the god of the Forgotten City disappeared, the entire Forgotten City was in chaos. Because of the god's disappearance, all believers felt they were abandoned. They were accustomed to the world where the god existed and to their faith. Once their faith disappeared, they became violent and confused, causing the entire Forgotten City to fall into chaos."
Yin Xiu thought that the city where Zhong Mu was located seemed to be the Forgotten City, the place he himself said was very violent.
"So the events of the Forgotten City served as a warning to other cities. I didn't want the Twin Cities to become like that, so we banned the inhabitants of the Twin Cities from entering or leaving, and prohibited outsiders from approaching. We controlled everything within the Twin Cities, pretending... that God still existed."
Yin Xiu had roughly understood their reasoning, but he stared at them unmoved. "Your control is a bit too extreme."
The priest of the God of Luck frowned, his face full of sorrow. "There's nothing we can do. After the God disappeared, the people's faith in Him also gradually faded. The Twin Cities became uncontrollable. Everyone wanted to leave here and no longer believe in the God of Luck. We must do something to maintain the Twin Cities..."
"This way...if God comes back one day..."
Xing Shen stopped talking, as if she herself felt that it was unlikely that a god who had suddenly disappeared could suddenly come back.
But they still hold the goal of controlling this place first and preventing the Twin Cities from falling into chaos. They use rules and beliefs to control all the citizens. Once someone is disrespectful to God and shows signs of no longer believing in the God of Luck, they will immediately control the other person's life.
Very extreme.
"Why did God disappear?" Yin Xiu asked.
The lucky priest shook his head and said, "I don't know... none of the priests in the city know. The gods disappeared suddenly, and no one knows where they went."
Yin Xiu frowned. It seemed that it was not so easy to find a way to kill God in this world. When they came, God disappeared, and all traces related to God were suddenly wiped out.
I'm a little annoyed, feeling like it was intentional, but who could possibly target so many gods with such deliberate intent? Perhaps there's something else going on.
The space was silent. The priestess of the God of Misfortune, who had kept her mouth shut, suddenly seemed to remember something and said slowly, "Perhaps, perhaps the priestess of Changsheng City would know. She has lived the longest, and she must understand God better than any of us."
"Changsheng City?" Yin Xiu thought, it seemed to be... the city where Ye Tianxuan was.
