Chapter 30: Auntie



More than a dozen police officers remained in the church all night.

Tian Yuan seemed to have given up completely. Even though he had given assurances to the bishop, despite his high status and reputation, the bishop could not directly control him.

But Fengzi's case is different. All the congressmen are paying close attention to it and have given a death order. This is the key to his career and future.

Therefore, he only left more than ten police officers in the church, and the deputy superintendent was in charge of the investigation. He continued to lead a large team to search various working-class districts in Yu Guang, as if he was ready to turn up the ground to find the person.

It was under such circumstances that the Twilight Blessing was held in the church.

During the lunch break at noon, Nanny Cheng led Li Weifengzi and a total of five people to a prayer hall.

The clergy of the church had all arrived. Everyone was sitting on the benches, wearing formal black twilight robes. Even Wang Xiaole was brought here. It seemed that the money his aunt had received was not in vain, as she was still taken care of.

At the very front of the prayer hall stands a star-shaped cross made of pure silver, with a faint white light on its surface.

This star cross is the [Decease] of the Sun Diocese.

It is responsible for connecting the bishop's neural complex. Whenever someone in the Sun agrees to join the Twilight Project, they can use [Twilight] to cut off one of their nerves and add it to the bishop's neural complex, truly becoming a part of Twilight.

Nanny Cheng took Li Wei and the others to sit on a bench. In front of them was a gospel that had been turned to the fourth paragraph of Chapter 7, which discussed the definition of "beauty" in people's moral concepts.

This passage of the Gospel was recited together in the prayer hall. The soft white light of "Lateness" placed on the platform became brighter and brighter as the Gospel prayers were recited.

People who are illuminated by the white light can feel a sense of relaxation from the inside out, just like soaking in a hot spring, both the body and the mind are effectively nourished.

When this gospel was read, the white light on [Dusk] gradually faded, marking the end of this twilight blessing.

The process was very dull, but the effect was very effective. Levi, Fengzi and the other three children all felt like they had a comfortable sleep.

Just as the blessing was about to end and Nanny Cheng had already stood up and was about to take them away, a wheelchair was slowly pushed in.

When the old man was brought in, all the clergy in the prayer hall stood up and bowed to greet him.

"Your Excellency the Bishop!"

The old man waved his hand gently at the people standing, indicating that they should sit down.

"The Sun is in a turbulent time right now, and even the church is not immune. The cemetery incident is a big deal, and we must give an explanation to the people who trust us. After this blessing is over, I hope you can cooperate with the police to investigate the matter as soon as possible."

The priests and nuns all nodded their heads, and the bishop's eyes were now on Levi and the other five.

A gentle smile appeared on his face.

"They are the five people with the best performance in this choir, right?"

Nanny Cheng seemed very attentive in front of the bishop, without any of her usual rigidity and severity.

"Yes, Your Excellency. Because of their outstanding performance, they are rewarded to participate in this blessing today."

The bishop signaled to the nun behind him to push the wheelchair so that he could get closer to Levi and the other four people.

He looked at Levi and the other four very seriously, with a smile on his face that never faded, as if to express that he was very satisfied with these children.

"They are all very good children. We can tell them more about Twilight's teachings. If they are willing to join us and become one of us, that would be great."

When Wang Xiaole noticed the bishop's eyes, his body froze visibly. He looked very nervous, but when that comforting and relaxing voice sounded, he unconsciously relaxed.

"Xiao Le, right? You should also work harder to learn doctrine and the gospel. Maybe you can become a church pastor in the future."

Hearing this, Wang Xiaole couldn't help but reveal surprise and anticipation on his face.

The church pastor was obviously a different class from the laborer. He had never dared to think about being a big shot before, but now he was one of the most powerful people in the city. The person in charge of the pastor actually said that he had the opportunity to become a pastor! "Can I really do it?"

"You have a pair of very clear eyes, which will bring you good luck. I sincerely hope that one day in the future, if I am not old yet, I can personally hand over the Starlight Cross that belongs only to priests to you."

He blinked at Wang Xiaole and encouraged him with a smile.

After encouraging everyone present, the old bishop seemed a little tired, and the nun pushed him out of the prayer hall.

"That bishop is such a good man. Even in the Central Region, it is hard to find such a kind and benevolent Twilight believer."

As Nanny Cheng led them back to the choir, Feng Zi, who was following Li Wei, whispered.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Li Wei did not make any comment on this. He just looked at Nanny Cheng's straight back and spoke softly.

"But even facing such a good bishop, our Madam Cheng seems to be a little afraid of him."

Fengzi turned her head and glanced at Nanny Cheng's back, her face full of confusion.

"How did you know that?"

"When the bishop left, your attention was on him, but I was watching Nanny Cheng. Her clenched hands gradually relaxed, and her expression became much more relaxed."

Feng Zi frowned when she heard what Levi said.

"That's not right. I heard from other maids that Aunt Cheng is an old lady in the church who has been with the bishop for a long time. Even though she made some mistakes in the past, the bishop never punished her too much. So why would she be afraid of the bishop?"

Levi shook his head, his eyes revealing something he was thinking, and then he changed the subject.

"Can you please stop using the communicator to chat with me about random things every night?"

Feng Zi glared at him and whispered.

"What do you mean by chatting about nonsense? I'm teaching you physics knowledge so that you can learn science more deeply!"

"Is it part of science to tell me about my roommate's gossip about not liking to wash her feet?"

"It's important to know when to relax! I'm afraid you'll get tired from studying so I'm trying to find a topic to relax you!"

"I see you don't dare to talk to other people, so you can only find me to talk."

"You've learned how to slander! 626!"
