Chapter 70 The Fruit of Greed (3)
She had changed her appearance in advance before returning to the Church of Saint-Vieux. The spacious front hall was particularly quiet, and the tall figure of the woman was within sight. The nun's clothing on her body was of a higher quality, adding a lot of color to the details.
The nun noticed Dorota's gaze, and she turned her head to look at her, her eyes covering her expression, unable to reveal her emotions, and only the gentle smile on her lips could be seen.
Dorota recognized her, the assistant officer of the lookout area, Shu, she should have just cleared the area near the church.
"Thank you for your hard work." The assistant officer, who did not put on any airs, looked friendly and approachable. She nodded slightly, and her gentle voice seemed to be able to soothe people's hearts. "Go back and rest."
Dorota walked in front of her, and the soft petals in her hand fell into the assistant officer's palm.
"Sorry for the trouble these days." The white-haired girl's smile was sincere and light, which easily made people have destructive thoughts and wiped out the warm light that might be born in her eyes.
The smile of the art became slightly strange, revealing an unknown excitement. She was more looking forward to the ceremony in the near future. What kind of reaction would this "distinguished guest" who was kept in the dark have? Disbelief, anger, confusion, or collapse.
"It's not a big deal."
Shu could hardly control her rising tone. She accepted this insignificant gift, "I will cherish it."
When Dorota returned to the bedroom, the observer asked her, "Will you be affected?"
The scene of the Bishop of the Dawn Node deliberately inciting the people seemed to reappear in front of her. Dorota took off her hood and looked down at her wrist. Her vertical pupils, which were originally tightly closed, had opened and slightly tightened as if they were in a state of extreme tension.
"A little bit." Dorota admitted, she stroked her eyes on her wrist, but did not explain more specific aspects.
She just thought that the environmental rendering of the Zhuwang District itself, coupled with human factors, caused an impact that could not be ignored. The self-nature of human nature to pursue desires was infinitely magnified.
She was inevitably affected.
"I just hate this place more," Dorota soothed casually, "Don't worry, I won't become like those fanatics."
She planned to take a rest, and cut off contact after telling the observer.
It was almost noon when they were able to communicate again. Dorota slowly got up from the bed, put on the new clothes sent by the nuns, walked out of the bedroom, and came to the backyard.
Dorota and several nuns helped the caregivers hired by the church to take care of the backyard, but they were only responsible for some simple work to avoid accidentally having a counterproductive effect.
The garden built by the church is ridiculously large. If there are tourists coming to appreciate it, it may take an afternoon to walk through it, but the backyard is generally not open to the public.
After all, this is the only external area that the Son of God will visit.
Dorota cut off the dead branches at the bottom of the flowers. She was in a rare mood and was particularly careful when listening to the instructions of the caretaker just now. She did a good job of basic cleaning. Before turning her attention to the next plant, she asked, "Did anything happen to Makusuke?"
"He was captured by the church last night."
Dorota did not respond for a while after hearing this. She carefully cut off the crossed branches, then she calmed down and replied, "To be honest, I am not surprised by this accident."
"What's the reason? Isn't Makusuke in the thirteenth district?"
She heard the observer mention it a few days ago. The small enterprise that the traceability had tried to cultivate before was recently managed by Makusuke and several capable members.
Tracing the source also started with the company's capital. Mujie had been taught for a long time, and he had enough knowledge and experience. Under the operation of a few people, the company actually developed well, so they began to recruit more management personnel.
... But he should not fall into the hands of the church. How could he negotiate business in Zhuwang District?
"The company had too many things to deal with. Mujie didn't pay attention to the time and stayed until night. There were no predators around him, and those weirdos were attracted by him and broke into the company."
The observer tried to simplify the matter as much as possible, but it was inevitable that there would be deficiencies in the details, so he simply published a new chapter.
The sharp lines only vaguely outlined the huge shadow of the monster, leaving a vague and unknown fear, like a maggot attached to the bone. The specially designed high-defense glass was simply vulnerable to it. The mist surged, and the monster crawled in along the broken cracks of the outer window. The
wriggling and twisted black matter flowed past, and Makisuke immediately ran to the stairwell not far away. He hurriedly turned his ability to try to stop it as much as possible, but suddenly heard a few sharp and piercing roars. Before going downstairs,
he took a look. The monster that was closer had condensed into a solid body, half of its body was damaged beyond recognition, and black liquid kept dripping from it.
It didn't move forward. It was clearly furious, but it also seemed to be a little jealous.
[Wait a minute...! Deng Deng's new talent? ! ]
[Vocal, I thought you gave your son a healing cheat, but it turns out that he can heal and fight? ! ]
[But isn't Deng Deng's talent for pollution? So weirdness is also closely related to pollution? 】
The extremely weird scene made Makisuke stunned for a moment, but the situation was too urgent for him to study it in detail. At this time, a familiar shout came into his ears: "Makisuke! Here!"
He immediately understood, turned over and jumped over the downward handrail to avoid the weirdness. Suodu, who was responsible for the response, quickly brought people into the transmission space, turned around to clean up the remaining breath and then left.
[Oh, Brother Du's panicking action is so cute]
[Brother Du and Sister Bai feel very safe]
[It feels like the master had instructed in advance, and Sister Bai and Brother Du have been keeping an eye on the situation around Deng Deng. They came over as soon as they found something unusual at the company]
[The friendship warms people's hearts]
Yu Bufeng went back to the fifteenth district for something, and the only person who could temporarily cover the special aura on Makusuke is not here, and the other plunderers can't do anything either. Makusuke plans to just hang out outside tonight. It will be troublesome if the weirdo is lured to the base.
"But generally, as long as you stay indoors and don't make any noise and turn off all the lights, you won't attract any strange attention."
You Bai moved them to a nearby alley. Seeing that both of them were safe, she felt relieved. She continued, "Did you turn off the lights when you were in the company?"
"I turned them off! I also turned the screen brightness to the lowest, and I kept quiet the whole time!"
Mujie was about to cry, and Youbai and Suodu shook their heads and sighed at the same time. The black-haired girl added expressionlessly: "Then your physique is really rare."
[Remember to turn off the lights]
[Ahahahahaha, the protagonists of the boys' comics all have special physiques. I really laughed my ass off]
Jokes aside, Youbai is quite reliable when he is serious.
They stayed here for a while, and when the strange thing noticed something, they moved to the next venue. Because they were not so clear about the overall location of the imperial capital, when they finally came to their senses, they had already arrived in other areas.
"We seem to be in the second area now." Youbai frowned subconsciously, and she retracted the torn space cracks, and made sure that the surroundings were safe before she felt a little relieved.
Makisuke noticed her slight fatigue and took the initiative to suggest that they stay here and rest for a while.
Strange. Makisuke looked up at the sky that should have been bright. It was almost morning, why was it still so dark?
And... the fog dissipated and then reappeared.
And those weird things. With
the remaining light, he caught a glimpse of the silver-white building covered in darkness. There was a faint black substance climbing up the wall. The shape of the monster was blurry, but the figure on the top floor was more obvious.
He used his ability to observe and found that it was a man in clerical clothes, who should be a member of the church. Makisuke recalled the instructions of the authority that the power distribution in the imperial capital was mixed, and it was best not to get involved with these people.
Makisuke looked at his friend who was resting on the other side. He hesitated for a moment and decided to go and find out what was going on.
He could see the crowd from a distance. He watched from a distance, but the unfamiliar voice still reached his ears word for word. As soon as the voice fell, the crowd burst into excited echoes.
The young man suddenly took a few steps back, his pupils reflected the same fanatical expressions of the people, and the strange and restless atmosphere made him want to escape.
[Wok, is this a spell? 】
【How scary! Deng Deng, run quickly or you will be caught】
He turned to leave, but a tall woman in nun's clothes blocked the young man's way. She had an elegant posture and a soft tone, but she was also unquestionable, "I don't know if it is convenient for you. We would like to invite you to visit the church."
"We often invite guests from other districts to visit the church, you can rest assured." The nun smiled slightly, "We just hope to get some appropriate suggestions for improvement."
Makusuke certainly would not believe these words, he looked alert, at this moment the nun turned sideways, and the person behind her stepped forward, the oppressive sense of a predator emerged above the superficial friendliness, "This is a common activity in the church, I hope you don't refuse."
And he had no right to refuse.
[Such a beautiful nun sister ah ah ah ah ah I like her so much, can you be my wife?]
[Still the masked type (hiss) nun sister's extraordinary temperament has already hooked me]
The leader is obviously a predator. Makisuke doesn't know their target. Since they are the powerful party of the church, they may have bad intentions.
He is afraid of dragging his companions into it. Anyway, fighting will be useless. Instead of wasting energy, it is better to follow the other party first and find another opportunity later.
Shu stretched out her hand to signal him to leave first, and waited until Makisuke turned around. She was still looking in that direction, the curve of her lips and the tone of her voice were all very strange, "Please come in, 'distinguished guest' of the church."
The picture extended along her gaze, sweeping across the crazy believers, their eyes were full of desire, as if they couldn't wait to prove their sincerity and piety.
In the frenzy, the dark gray color seemed particularly calm and indifferent, as if it was detached from everything.
The shadow covered her face, and the most recognizable eyes were blocked, only the tear mole under the left eye was revealed just right.
The coincidence is so coincidental that it is difficult for people to stop their divergent imagination.
[? Teacher? ! I, I, I am stuck. What should I say? Teacher, is it really you! 】
【This close-up, this hair color, this mole, it's definitely the teacher! 】
【Oh no, the teacher has been brainwashed by the church, right?】
【Look at this expression, it doesn't look like it】
【Teacher: What's going on outside? I'm here to join in the fun】
【Ahhhh, teacher, why are you running away? Zhuwang is here】
【! Wait a minute, jrm, if it's really the teacher, why would the teacher use the identity of Eleanor! Is the teacher not losing his memory, and is now an insider in the imperial capital! 】
【Genius, get out of the hospital! Just a few words cured me from dying, the doctor is a miracle doctor】
After Dorota understood the whole story, she didn't expect that the scene of herself watching the show among the believers would be drawn in. She looked at the bullet screen and was rarely silent.
And things were very different from what she thought.
Why did everyone think she was enduring humiliation? Why were there so many people who were even sadder than her? Shouldn't they be feeling disgusted and hateful towards her for betraying them?
The observer sensed her thoughts and smiled mysteriously, "I told you, never underestimate the reader's filter and brain-filling ability."
Dorota: "..."
"So Makusuke is in the church?"
"Well... to be precise, he's in the basement."
"Are you planning to put him up for sale at tomorrow's auction?"
"Yes, how did you know... ah? How did you know there's an auction tomorrow? Aren't those people planning to hide it from you?"
"Have you forgotten that I also have the identity of a night watchman?"
Dorota put away the tools and returned them to the caregiver. She said goodbye to the other nuns who accompanied her and walked slowly along the path where she came from. The air was filled with the fragrance of flowers. "Wang Chu will also come to the auction this time."
"Shu must have seen through Makisuke's talent." Dorota laughed mockingly, "She wants to hand this suspicious person over to the royal family, and the auction is just the right opportunity."
"Should we rescue him in advance, or should you take a picture of him at the auction? But the identity of the night watchman is too sensitive, so this is definitely not possible... and there's also the royal family's obstruction."
Dorota was helpless when he heard his distressed rejection, "It's not like I only have one identity."
The observer realized it later, and he was a little surprised, "Are you going to the auction under Eleanor's identity? Can you get in?"
"They're waiting for me to come."
Dorota smiled and added the second half of the sentence: "It will be more advantageous for them in the church, their home ground."
And the source will also find someone to rescue. The observer suddenly remembered that the auction would require a large sum of money, so he said, "The funds in the executive officer's account cannot be changed, which will easily arouse suspicion. If you want to participate in the auction, the money problem must also be solved."
"Maybe not." Dorota didn't take it to heart. She replied casually, "Since it is an illegal auction, the consequences should naturally be borne by the bishop. It's okay for him to lose some money."
The observer always felt that the smile on her face was a bit scary.
"Someone should come to rescue Mujie tonight, or they can take him away directly at the auction tomorrow, but Yu Bufeng knows that the latter plan is not feasible."
"Since Wang Chu is here, he will definitely see that Mujie is special, and he is determined to get him."
"By the way, which basement is Mujie imprisoned in?"
