Chapter 122 Fluttering Butterfly
On a hill 10 kilometers away from the Radiant Church's Taoli College stronghold, a group of Chaos God cultists wearing cloak-like, fully covered protective suits slowly walked towards them, against the radiation wind.
Except for the leading man, the rest of the men's grey-black protective suits were all painted with the emblem of the Devouring Snake.
The Chaos Cult had just raided the Church of Light, so doing this was certainly a bit provocative, but if they didn't do this, they would be scanned and shot by the defense tower.
The searchlights of the Church of Light swept over twice in three minutes, without warning or sending away, nor emitting radiation beams when aiming. The Paster meter remained silent, tacitly accepting their temporary stay.
Xu Snake, the "Snake Fang" of the Devouring Snake, stood on the hill and looked at the Rubik's Cube building not far away, his expression was terrifyingly gloomy.
He stood there for a long time before he slightly raised his right hand. The people below immediately started to move, taking out pieces of abnormal cores and abnormal growths from the strange objects they were carrying.
Their appearance varies. Some resemble fruits or gems, while others have a squirming texture that is difficult to describe as jelly or granules.
The cultists handled the unusual debris skillfully. They first unfolded a layer of transparent film and carefully covered the hillside with it.
This hillside was a plot of land they had specially chosen. There were no corpses left over from fierce battles, and the rare artifacts that had once been left behind had been cleaned up by the school workers of Taoli College. There was no need to worry about certain rules and curses being suddenly triggered.
However, even such a clean plot of land with a low Pasteur value still showed purple-black ripples after they covered it with a thick layer of abnormal growths.
Light and shadow distorted, and the air echoed with a thud. If left unchecked, new anomalies would emerge by tomorrow morning at the latest.
Xu She ignored the distorted light and shadow. After all, these things were a feast for Chen Xiao'er. Once she ate them, there would be nothing left.
Maybe it will be converted into protein waste? He thought with some satisfaction.
Even though he was a member of the Chaos God Cult, Xu She still felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure when he saw humans' abnormal behavior of consuming them.
The subordinates laid out the "delicious food" and then walked aside with their hands hanging down. They were quiet and silent, not questioning their boss's wishes at all.
This was very strange in other chaotic god sects. After all, what Xu She was doing now was undoubtedly contacting the Church of Light, and his actions had not been filed in advance within the church.
But this extraordinary behavior is very reasonable within the Devouring Snake.
Because the Devouring Snake itself has various images such as "the strong devour everything", "destruction first and then rebirth", and "many aspects become one".
Each of its messengers and district pastors can establish relatively independent groups, and can even attack each other and absorb each other's nutrients to strengthen themselves.
The Devouring Snake will devour its enemies as well as itself. It can be reborn repeatedly from the ashes, building a new era after reincarnation. All followers of the Devouring Snake must accept this theory in order to learn the divine arts bestowed by the Devouring Snake.
[In a sense, Chen Xiao'er is quite suitable to become the next generation of saints I teach.]
Xu She looked at the abnormal debris on the ground and smiled sarcastically: At least she can really devour the abnormality.
But this time he came to Chen Xiao'er with the idea of killing two birds with one stone. No matter who wins in the end, I must survive!
What drove Xu Shebing to take the risky move was precisely the desire to survive. He was extremely grateful for the extensive use of substitutes in the sect. Of course, this body now was not his real body.
How can you be a "snake" and not even be able to shed your skin?
If Chen Xiao'er or the Glorious Church behind her agreed to my proposal and worked together to destroy Snake Eyes or Chen Yunshu's plans, at least one of them would be bitten hard by me.
In this feast of dancing snakes, only I, Snake Fang—eh?
Boom, boom, boom...
The ground began to shake regularly, the amplitude of the shaking just enough to make people dizzy and almost unable to stand, but without cracking the ground.
The radiation wind gradually stopped, condensing into a gel-like substance in the air, and then poured into the prototype of an artificial building like plasticine.
?
No, what are you doing? Is the Church of Glory demonstrating how to transform artificial anomalies?
Xu She was confused for a moment: No matter how proud he was, he knew that with his status, he was not worthy of the Glorious Church's demonstration. The state of tacitly allowing the little mouse to pass by just now was normal!
Click, click, click.
In the moment he and his subordinates were stunned, the buildings on the open space had assembled themselves, completely revealing the minimalist style of the Glorious Church!
Is this a cafeteria? No, it's only one level inside and semi-open-air outside, with several metal chairs and parasols protruding from the fence.
Xu She was not familiar with this kind of building. He just thought it looked very peaceful, and in a trance he seemed to be flipping through an ancient picture magazine.
By the way, this is not a church-style cafeteria, but... a cafe with outdoor booths in the technological age.
"ha."
What is this? Is it a dangerous unknown anomaly?
Xu She looked at the café, which was incongruous with the atmosphere, and was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to leave. The time agreed upon with Chen Xiao'er was approaching, and many anomalies had triggering rules, so leaving rashly might not be the right choice.
Ta-da. Ta-da.
Someone, no, an anomaly, climbed the newly formed steps. He... She was dressed in a handsome waiter's uniform, one hand resting below her chest, the other hanging naturally, and her leather shoes made a pleasant clattering sound.
This abnormal person was wearing a half-covered pale mask, the lower half of his face looked like an exquisite doll, and his lips were as red as blood.
Click.
She stopped three meters in front of Xu She, and instead of bowing respectfully, she turned half a circle like an actor making his debut, with one hand extended exaggeratedly, pointing at the cafe not far away.
"Please take your seats." Fei Yang grinned ostentatiously, "Since you are Miss Chen's guest, we will definitely treat you well."
“…”
Xu She quietly turned over the coin in his hand and touched the pattern on the surface: it was the front side.
It's generally safe and should be done.
Chen Xiao'er, who exactly are you? After the information about your power was leaked, your information was blocked by the Church of Light. Is there some connection?
He took a step forward and pointedly instructed the people behind him, "Follow us and take our gifts with you."
The tall waitress flashed a foxy smile and drifted back, clearing the way. The believers silently picked up the transparent film, carrying the food on it and continued on their way.
…
Beep beep.
The phone alarm was gently pressed, and Zero poked the girl's cheek: "It's time, let's go."
There is only one class in the morning, and I sleep well in the dormitory during the second period.
"Hmm~ He said he wanted to treat me to a nice meal, I wonder which restaurant~"
Chen Xiao'er stretched vigorously. She wasn't usually this lazy, but to play along with the Chen family, she had to be extremely alert and conserve her energy beforehand.
Ling brought over the new leather boots issued by the school. Chen Xiao'er quickly took the boots and whispered, "No, no, I can get them myself next time."
"Okay." Ling put his hands down and stood beside the bed.
Chen Xiao'er hurriedly washed her hands and face, applied skin cream, and picked up a hair tie to tie her long hair into a ponytail. As she combed her hair, she said, "You should also braid your hair. It's not convenient to eat with your hair down."
Zero shook his head: "No, I don't eat out."
"ah?"
Chen Xiao'er put down her comb. "Give it a try once in a while. If you don't want to eat the Chen family's meal, I'll buy you my share!"
It has nothing to do with the followers of the Devouring Snake.
Zero didn't mind getting any benefits from the Chaos God Sect, but for the living apostles, the process of eating was no longer necessary.
Beep.
A stream of data flashed across her irises, and she intercepted this backup memory with some confusion.
rustle.
Fragments of the image pieced together into mirrored surfaces. The first was a scene of her—Zero herself—biting a cookie. Then came other fragmented memories: jelly, ice cream, chocolate… Each one was a real event.
The memory of an Apostle can be reset, but generally not frequently. However, during the long lifespan, the memory must be cleared every 10 years.
Even though they are emotionless and therefore not affected by specific emotions, the apostles' excellent memory still causes them to remember too many unnecessary things.
The memory that just flashed through my mind was obviously unnecessary and would definitely be cleared during routine maintenance.
This kind of clearing does not mean complete deletion, but extraction and flushing into the soul pool. If necessary, it can be recalled like an ordinary person watching a video.
After establishing contact with Chen Xiao'er, my reset frequency increased, and I reset twice in a short period of time - or maybe three times.
Zero didn't mind the memory reset, she fully agreed with the necessity of the reset.
For example, the scenes of taking food from Chen Xiao'er's hands and eating it just now do not need to be kept in the heart. It is only necessary to keep the impression that [Chen Xiao'er can eat anomalies directly, and those anomalies will lose their abnormal characteristics in her hands].
But why...my heart and brain seem to have come to completely different conclusions?
What went wrong? Was it a data problem? Zero raised his hand and gently pressed it against his chest.
"Zero~"
Xiao'er's joyful voice made her look up instantly, just in time to see the girl's flying skirt.
Chen Xiao'er spun on tiptoe under the light, her light-colored dress stretched out like butterfly wings, the pure white garter lace on her stockings swayed gently, and as she touched the ground, her legs hovered in the air, and then they came down safely together with the hem of her skirt.
"How is it? Hehe~" Her cheeks flushed, and she stared into Ling's eyes as if to prove something: "I brought this skirt from home. I'm not wearing it just to eat..."
Chen Xiao'er stood on tiptoe, leaned on her shoulder like a little bird, and whispered in her ear: "I want to go shopping with you."
The scent of orange mixed with grass lingered in my nose. This message quickly formed in my mind, but I didn't share it with everyone as usual.
Ling slowly raised his hand and lightly embraced Xiao'er's shoulders in mid-air, not daring to touch.
"Okay, I'll protect you."
"Huh?"
Chen Xiao'er turned her head, winked at her senior's profile, and then smiled. "Don't worry about security. Sister Lan said she has everything arranged."
“…”
Ling helped Chen Xiao'er pick up her bag and asked cautiously, "Do you believe in Lan?" Was that a superpower—a derivative of authority? Perhaps it was an anomaly infiltrated by the Abyss.
"certainly!"
Chen Xiao'er walked to the door, opened it, and scurried down the stairs like a bird. Her skirt fluttered in the corridor like a flower swaying in the wind.
"Zero—" The black-haired girl stood downstairs and waved vigorously at Zero upstairs: "You can trust her like I do~ We will definitely get along well!"
Ling held the armrest, jumped down amid Xiao'er's exclamation, and gently took her wrist. "Let's go."
