The door was suddenly pushed open and Wang Xiao rushed in holding a candle.

He had just heard voices talking in the house and went in to check without thinking.

He thought that he could find evidence to catch these two little rascals this time, but the scene before him stunned him.

"Dad...Mom...why don't you come in..."

I saw Xiao Ruyu standing blankly in front of the half-open window, waving at something with her little hand.

A cool breeze blew by and Wang Xiao broke out in a cold sweat.

"Who are you talking to!?"

He moved closer carefully and found that Xiao Ruyu had her eyes closed.

"It's okay... Dad and Mom will eat too."

Xiao Ruyu made a gesture of picking up food, closed the doors and windows, and returned to the bed with her eyes closed.

She lay straight, chewing something in her mouth.

Wang Xiao was confused, so he leaned over and found that she was still sleeping soundly.

"I saw a ghost. Maybe I was sleepwalking."

He muttered and waved his hands twice in Xiao Ruyu's face unwillingly.

Seeing that she didn't move at all, he turned and left.

Hearing the faint sound of the door closing, Xiao Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Eleven was secretly worried for her, but fortunately she was smart.

[Rest early. I heard there will be a ceremony tomorrow morning. I want to see what this leader looks like.]

Xiao Ruyu muttered to herself in her heart and closed her eyes.

Early the next morning, the two were awakened by the loud noise of gongs and drums outside.

Wang Xiaolai called them to get up.

"The initiation ceremony is held today. Are you two still awake?"

He glanced at Xiao Ruyu, thinking about what happened last night.

Initiation ceremony?

Xiao Ruyu's mind was working rapidly. No wonder so many people came to the village yesterday.

It turned out that the ceremony they were talking about was the initiation ceremony of Protestants.

"Hurry up, Master Liu is still waiting for you outside."

Wang Xiao urged impatiently and then went out to clean up.

Xiao Ruyu immediately pulled Shiyi out of bed and arrived at the door, just in time to see Master Liu walking towards them.

"Hello, Master."

She pretended to be obedient and shouted.

Master Liu picked her up and walked towards the center of the village.

A tall platform was built in the center, with a wooden carved tiger head placed in the middle.

Xiao Ruyu looked up and felt that the face looked more and more familiar.

Isn't this exactly the same thing as the one in Mr. Liu's room! It's just that this one is magnified several times.

There was a raging fire burning in the tiger's mouth, and there was a frame made of unknown material on top of its head.

There were at least a hundred people present. When Mr. Liu carried Xiao Ruyu and Eleven into the venue, he quickly attracted everyone's attention.

"Hey, why did you bring these two kids here today?"

A thin-looking man spoke first, looking at the two of them with unfriendly eyes.

The relationship between him and Master Liu in the church was tense, and he wanted to find some faults with him.

Mr. Liu was not to be outdone and bowed to the stage.

"Master Enhao, today we are bringing them here to receive initiation and worship."

The thin man looked Xiao Ruyu and the other person up and down and snorted coldly.

"How old are these two brats? If they listen to others' instigation and betray the leader in the future, can you, Liu Qian, bear the responsibility?"

When Mr. Liu heard this, he spoke angrily.

"Cheng Yong, stop bossing me around!"

He knew that Cheng Yong was here to pick a fight with him.

Xiao Ruyu secretly watched the two people quarreling and guessed something in his mind.

[Why did this person suddenly jump out to stop us? ]

When Cheng Yong saw that Mr. Liu refuted him, he became furious and directly instigated others.

"Tell me, what can such a young boy accomplish by joining the religion? He hasn't even grown all his hair yet."

People around him thought what Cheng Yong said made sense and agreed with him.

"Yes, that's right."

"You are too young to join the church. I think we should wait a few years."

…

Just as Cheng Yong was watching the excitement with glee, an angry voice came from behind him.

"What are you all yelling about!"

Seeing that it was the second in command, everyone quickly made way.

The second in command had an angry look on his face, staring at the people in the center of the field.

"The leader will be here soon. If you guys are making a noise and disturbing the leader's peace, you will be in trouble!"

Cheng Yong quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake and explained the reason to him.

The second in command narrowed his eyes and looked at the two of them, seeming to be hesitant.

"I'm indeed a little younger..."

At this moment, Eleven, who had been silent all the time, suddenly took a step forward.

He, who used to be taciturn, suddenly started talking incessantly.

"Mr. Liu is kindhearted and willing to take us in. It must be because he taught Enhao that fate has destined this opportunity for us two brothers and sisters."

"The leader is merciful and begs me to accept my brother and me into the sect."

"I will keep your teachings in mind from now on, and I will repay you one day!"

Xiao Ruyu was shocked by his words and secretly gave him a thumbs up.

[Eleven, you are very spiritual. I have never seen you so smart before.]

After hearing what he said, the second in command smiled.

What a cult needs most is such devoted followers.

"Well, I think these two guys are also loyal people, so let them convert to Christianity with other Protestants!"

The second in command spoke, and no one else dared to object.

A smug look appeared on Mr. Liu's face, and he raised his eyebrows provocatively at Cheng Yong.

Cheng Yong gritted his teeth and turned away, unwilling to see them.

Everyone dispersed. Xiao Ruyu squeezed Eleven's palm and smacked his lips inwardly.

[Eleven, I didn't expect you to be so good at talking. ]

Eleven scratched his head a little embarrassedly, then lowered his head and whispered in Xiao Ruyu's ear.

"I learned all this from the princess."

[I am not as powerful as you. With Eleven, I am not afraid to travel around the world.]

Xiao Ruyu was flattering Eleven madly in her heart.

Eleven enjoyed it very much, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At noon, the initiation ceremony is about to begin.

Several cult members came on stage and beat drums, and the deafening sound echoed throughout the valley.

At the same time, the officers and soldiers ambushing in the mountains also received the signal.

Doctor Yang looked down with a burning gaze, holding the flag of command in his hand.

"The leader is mighty and mighty, and will live forever!"

"The leader is mighty and mighty, and will live forever!"

As the command was shouted, the cult members knelt down one after another and waited for the leader to arrive.

Master Liu pulled the two of them to kneel down together, with their heads bowed to the ground.

"You are not allowed to peek at the holy face of the leader."

Although that's what he said, Xiao Ruyu never listened to him.

When everyone knelt together, Xiao Ruyu quietly raised his head and looked at the stage.

The leader hadn't appeared yet, so she lowered her head in disappointment.

What kind of mysterious face does this leader have?

"Get up—"

There was a sudden noise on the stage and everyone shouted.

"Thank you, Master."

The moment he raised his head, Xiao Ruyu could clearly see the face of the person on the stage.

【Why is it him? ! 】
