Chapter 82: Tomorrow (1)
"If you ask me, you don't need my help at all, do you?"
Rong Ye Gu, who had just come to Zhuwang District to discuss cooperation and was caught by Shouye and then tricked into coming to the church, was now bewildered. He had not yet recovered from the shock of learning about Dorota's other identity when she continued, "Of course I need it."
"Let me introduce you. This is the new bishop of Saint-Vieux Church." Shouye added the second half of the sentence slowly, "He just took office today."
Rong Ye Gu: "...Ah?"
The incident in the church had just happened not long ago, so Rong Ye Gu was of course not aware of it. Shouye simply summarized it in a few simple sentences. Only then did he realize her intention belatedly, "Are you trying to help me connect with the church? Although I am very grateful, but..."
But to be honest, He felt that Haili would be eaten up by other families in Zhuwang District without leaving anything.
Watching the night saw his concerns, she lazily raised her eyelids and said, "I'm here to help you, so what are you afraid of?"
"It won't hurt you anyway." Watching the night fiddled with the tail ring on her hand, she thought for a while and then asked him, "You have been in District 13 for a while and have no idea of expanding?"
"...I've only been here a few weeks? Are you a little too hasty?"
"Are you so anxious because of what happened?"
The vigilante did not answer. Instead, the observer who had been quietly listening to their conversation spoke up and brought up the topic: "It is really offensive to invite you here suddenly. Why don't you just stay in the church to rest tonight. We have prepared a rich meal."
Rongye Gu, who had not yet received his dinner, simply nodded in agreement and waited for the nun to take him to the hall. The observer then looked at Watchman, "Do you have any new plans?"
Watchman silently put his hand on his shoulder, avoiding the question, but instead reminded: "You are under my control now, don't show off, Puppet Bishop."
She seemed very interested, and the observer had no intention of disturbing her, so he smiled in cooperation.
"Guiyi is already waiting for you." The observer noticed the abnormality in the nave, and he was a little surprised, "But he looks... more like he is waiting for someone else."
Watchman was not surprised. She specifically told Ulos this morning that if Guiyi found something unusual in the church, she needed him to take the initiative to reveal his identity. After all, in the perception of others, his aura was equivalent to Eleanor.
He only needed to release the location information and then hide to prevent Guiyi from seeing him.
It will be obvious who is the instigator of the incident.
"Do you have anything to talk to me about?" Eleanor walked out of the shadows, casually twirling her long gray hair with her fingertips. The discomfort brought by the change of identity made her look a little tired. "Or do you want to blame these accidents on me?"
Guiyi glanced at him casually, and then asked, "Do you think I am framing you? But you jumped out so impatiently, are you provoking me?"
"It was just a coincidence that I passed by the church." Eleanor casually classified it as an unfortunate misunderstanding. She waved her hands innocently, "Who knew that this would happen."
"It's really unfortunate, but in this way, Bishop Denis has returned to the arms of the Lord, which should be a relief for him."
"Are you right?"
Guiyi just raised his eyes in the end. He didn't seem to want to dwell too much on this topic. The death of Bishop Deni only made him lose a relatively loyal and useful follower, but there were countless substitutes who wanted to please him.
Baskent and his annoying family wanted to get more benefits and preferential treatment from him, but unfortunately they still lost the opportunity.
If the new heir can make the Deni family survive this difficult time, then he won't mind. They can continue to maintain the original relationship, and even the position of Zhuwang District Executive can still be held by someone from the Deni family. The premise
is that Deni can be preserved and they can stabilize their position instead of gradually declining.
He is rarely interested in investments that are too risky.
Unless it is really worth it.
So he said calmly: "Don't tell me that you really want to overthrow the imperial capital. It's time for your little fights to end."
Eleanor couldn't help laughing when she heard this. She had no idea of restraint and laughed out loud, "But you can't stop me, right? As long as I want, you can't catch me at all."
"It's the same no matter how many people come. You can chase me or put me on the wanted list. As long as I want, you can't find me." Thick black flowed down her arms, dripped from all parts of her body, and finally turned into a pool of black water.
He stretched out his hand, and the flowing black liquid fell on his fingertips and merged into the words gathered at his feet.
You should resign.
Guiyi tried to investigate, but he couldn't find out even a little bit of her whereabouts. His calm eyes rarely showed a strange color. He subconsciously opened the book, and the answer slowly emerged on the blank paper.
Doesn't exist.
...Doesn't exist? Guiyi closed the book, and when he lowered his eyes, the words written by Heishui on the ground had disappeared. Even a weird fusion body shouldn't give such an answer, unless it was a dead person.
But how is this possible? So she must have used some means to even affect his judgment.
And Eleanor, who was speculated to have used special means, just switched back to another body. She went to the tracing base on purpose to make the switch. The distance is far enough, the surrounding environment can guarantee safety, and there are people who can help look after it.
It's simply too suitable. She
waited until she confirmed that Guiyi had left the church before she changed back to Eleanor's identity.
"Did the Fool tell you in advance?"
Yu Bufeng was not surprised at all when she appeared. He knew without thinking that it was the Fool who revealed the news, so she was not surprised by his affirmative answer.
"Then did he tell you? I came here mainly to discuss something with you."
"What is it?"
Eleanor felt that Yu Bufeng would most likely not agree with what she was going to say, but if she insisted on doing so, he could not stop her. She stared at him and said, "I want to send Mujie to the church and then introduce him to the Dog Emperor."
"...Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Of course I know that now is a good time. We should not hide him anymore."
Eleanor knew that he should have heard about the changes in the church, and he should have guessed that she was the one who caused all this. He would not fail to understand why she suddenly proposed this.
So she just told him in a few simple sentences: "He should return to the public's view."
He returned with a clear conscience as the long-missing eldest son of the current emperor.
"He is not suitable there." Yu Bufeng knew that they could not hide Mu Jie in Suyuan forever, he just felt it was too early, "besides Wang Chu will not sit idly by."
"He will be discovered sooner or later. Now Zhuwang District has begun to fight for power again, and those big families are busy trying to get a piece of the pie. It's a good opportunity, and you know the dog emperor has been looking forward to it for a long time."
"He urgently needs an heir who does not stand in the position of executive, and he will want to protect him as much as possible."
The emperor has always hated the existence of the chief executive. This position itself implies excessive power. Guiyi's inauguration and the huge ancient family behind him have aroused his jealousy. The emperor is worried that he will seize the honor of the royal family.
The CEO can do it, but it takes a lot of time to conspire and plan. He also needs to consider too much.
"And the church has been handed over to me. After all, the powerless Son of God needs supporters." Eleanor played with the cup carelessly, "Haili is going to provide funds for the church. If the church sends people back, the emperor will also pay attention to the Haili family."
She wanted to help Haili as much as possible, hoping that the Haili family can grow to a point where no one can shake it, so that the source can go on for a longer time in the future.
"He will be safe." Eleanor said calmly, "Most people know the past identity of the Yongzhao Executive, and I will take the initiative to take over from him."
Makisuke's identity had long been found out, but they could not prove whether he joined the rebel organization voluntarily or was forced to do so.
Yu Bufeng was a little surprised when he heard that, "In that case, those people will suspect that you are betraying them."
Eleanor laughed instead, and she waved her hand nonchalantly, "That's just right, I've long been tired of fighting with them in the imperial capital, it's not bad to come back and stay."
"I can't show up, and I have to trouble the authority to help me convey it. I don't think Mu Jie will refuse."
Eleanor's casual words sounded like a joke, and she didn't say anything else. She didn't tell Yu Bufeng that even if she did nothing, those people would not believe her.
Her previous identity destined her to be an outlier.
She returned to the church and asked the observer if he knew the content of her conversation with Yu Bufeng.
The observer nodded. Shouye didn't plan to say it again. Since the pastoral counselor would be here soon, she would not stay in the church any longer.
It was already late and she should go.
Not long after the meeting ended the next morning, Shouye received a communication invitation from the emperor.
He did not say the reason, it was just an invitation.
Shouye sent a message to Zheshu to explain, and then went straight to the palace. Guiyi was also there, and there were also several heads of large families beside him. The new bishop of the church looked at her, and the familiar young man stood beside the monarch.
He seemed to have sensed something, and when he turned around and looked at the person who came, his eyes met Shouye's, and the young man was in a trance.
He remembered this man. They had met when they inspected the hospital.
