Chapter 40: Reaching a Consensus (Happy Lantern Festival)



“Sizzle!”

Two figures flashed quickly from behind Aped and rushed towards the twisted and hideous giant worm!

They were moving so fast that Aped could hardly see them clearly.

However, Aped could sense their presence.

There was no mistaking this scent; Aped was too familiar with it.

Ghoul!

These are two completely different zombies, and definitely not accomplices of the Church of Eternal Night.

Why didn't they attack themselves instead of attacking the worm?

This thought flashed through Aped's mind, but he didn't have that much time now!

Just then, the zombie was entangled with the giant worm, giving Aped a chance to escape. Aped made a quick decision and ran towards the exit.

It is better to live a miserable life than to die. Who would be willing to die unless it is absolutely necessary?

"roar!"

“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”

There were roars and wails coming from behind Aped. Aped sprinted all the way and finally climbed out of the sewer pipe. He collapsed on the ground and tried hard to breathe, regardless of the sewer garbage on his clothes.

The street cleaner who was cleaning the street stared at the man who came out of the sewer in amazement. He quickly walked over to Aped and said, "Sir, do you need any help?"

"need!"

Upon hearing this, Aped was immediately alert. He jumped up from the ground and said to the cleaner, "Don't go near this sewer! No... not just this sewer, don't go into any sewers in this city!"

"?"

A question mark slowly arose in the cleaner's heart.

He's most likely a mental patient. I'll report him to the inspector and let him handle it.

After some inward reflection, the muscular-looking white cleaner smiled and said, "How about this? I'll call 119 and have the inspectors handle this. What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Aped nodded solemnly: "It's just right, we should also have a good talk with the New York authorities."

After saying this, the cleaner became even more convinced that Aped was a mental patient.

You've fallen so low that you've ended up crawling into the sewers, and you're still here negotiating with the authorities?

Soon after, the flashing lights of an inspection car approached from a distance...

......

Inside a room at the New York Inspectorate, the Governor of New York sat across from Michelle. The Governor smiled and said, "Mr. Michelle, our system tells me that you once served in District 51, yet now you're a representative of the Church of Eternal Night. It's true that heroes can become famous no matter where they live."

After that, the New York governor didn't forget to ask, "I wonder if Mr. Michelle would be interested in returning to District 51?"

"The glory of our Lord has covered the earth, and the glory of our Lord will extend to the whole world."

Michelle smiled slightly and continued, "I wonder if Mr. Governor would be interested in learning more about my Lord, the great 'Lord of Eternal Night'?"

Big liar against big liar, no one can fool anyone else.

"Let's get back to business."

The New York governor, in a rare move, skipped official language and addressed Michelle directly, "What exactly is this sewer you're talking about? Could you describe it in detail?"

"Do you believe it?" Michelle asked.

"Since last night, six workers involved in sewer maintenance have gone missing. The deaths of the two inspectors were so shocking that they diverted media attention."

The New York governor waved his hand helplessly. "Furthermore, we've lost contact with the firefighters we sent to search for those six workers. Only a scream was heard at the last moment."

"In that case, I'll just say it directly."

Seeing this, Michelle said, "After the Church of Eternal Night learned of what happened last night, they decided to eliminate these monsters within New York City, allowing the glory of our Lord to spread even faster."

"One of our apostles, named Aeped, encountered a monster in the sewers. He passed the news back to our Church of Eternal Night at the last minute, and we lost contact with Aeped after that."

"You mean... Aped?"

The Director of the Inspectorate, who had been sitting silently nearby, had a slightly strange expression on his face. "Is this Mr. Appleton you're talking about? He's wearing a suit, has a beard, is he around 30 years old, and is he white?"

Everyone present turned their attention to the Director of the Inspectorate, and Michelle said slowly with a blank expression, "Yes."

Three minutes later, Aped arrived in the conference room.

Although Michelle was very surprised, he did not ask anything. Instead, he sat calmly and said, "May the glory of the Lord bless you, Aeped. Welcome back."

"Eternal Night."

Upon seeing this, Aped saluted Michelle slightly, looked at the officials present, and waved his hand. A ball of black flame instantly burned in Aped's hand.

"hiss!"

"Is this magic?!"

"What's going on?"

"How did you do that?"

The senior officials of the New York government looked at Aped in disbelief. Although they were not so panicked, it was still obvious that they were frightened in their expressions.

"To prevent you from not believing what I'm going to say next, I can only prove my identity this way."

After proving that he possessed some extraordinary abilities, Aped said, "Our abilities are all given by the Lord. Our Lord is the great Lord of Eternal Night, the symbol of darkness, the savior of mankind, the master of the world, and the only true God in the world."

"So, you mortals should not compare my Lord with some dirty, ugly beings. They are not worthy."

After saying all this, Aped began to slowly tell what happened in his sewer.

Huge, disgusting worms, tens of millions of their minions, and the zombies that haunt the sewers... In Aped's description, the sewers seem to be the most dangerous place in all of New York.

Well, it's the most dangerous place in New York.

Before the New York authorities could open their mouths and ask for anything, Michelle added, "The sewers are too narrow, hindering our movements and making it impossible to annihilate the enemy there. Therefore, we'll have to leave the monsters there to you."

After the New York officials whispered among themselves for a while, the Governor of New York finally stood up and extended his hand to Michelle. "Thank you, Church of Eternal Night, for your contribution to the government. We will clean up the filthy monster in the sewer in a timely manner."

"Please rest assured that Professor Smith will be released from observation and will return to teaching at Columbia University from now on."

After the New York Governor finished speaking, he considered for a moment and continued, "The government strongly supports the establishment of your church and is willing to provide some assistance and benefits. Please provide a membership list, and the New York government will grant your church some preferential treatment."
