Chapter 220 The Envoy of God Arrives
The next morning, Father Mellen took the initiative to switch shifts with another priest. He was responsible for supervising the garbage workers in the star field today.
This job was not an easy one to begin with, and it was definitely not as easy as staying on the island to purify senior believers and getting high tips.
Before, at least we could get some valuable garbage to sell as scrap, but now that it’s the final stage, all the valuable stuff has already been cleared out.
The priest was happy to throw the burden to Father Mellen.
Father Mellen left after achieving his goal. Before starting work, he had to deliver something to Xu Lingqu.
Arriving at Ksenia's door, Father Mellen knocked three times quickly and three times slowly, as Xu Lingqu had said yesterday.
The door was opened, and Father Mellen, who had come secretly, slipped in quickly for fear of being seen.
Xu Lingqu had already changed into the garbage collector's clothes at this time and sat beside the bed watching him hand over the prepared things with both hands.
A silver mask and a set of "costumes".
Father Mellen stayed up all night, transformed himself into Mellen Tailor, and modified the clothes of the high-ranking church women, making them into slim long gauze skirts and oversized cloaks with church totems painted in gold thread.
When Xu Lingqu put on this outfit and the silver mask, almost no one could recognize who she was.
Father Mellen's palms were sweating with nervousness when he thought about what he was going to do. Ksenia, on the other hand, remained calm. She had completely trusted Xu Lingqu. She couldn't help much with the overall task today, so she just stood by and cheered her on.
“I wish you all the best today!”
-
The garbage man responsible for cleaning up space debris today was chosen by Father Myron himself.
There were a large number of low-level believers, and they didn't communicate much with each other. Xu Lingqu, dressed in garbage collector's clothes, easily blended in with them. Father Mellen led them out of their underground residence and took them to the other half of the underground, where small garbage cleaning ships were stored.
In order to make it easier for them to clean up the garbage, the energy field barrier set up by Master Dream Forging will periodically open a small hole to let them out.
After going out, Father Mellen controlled the main ship. Hundreds of iron pipes extended from the main ship to connect to a small garbage cleaning starship. The small starship was basically a driving position plus a garbage cleaning warehouse. They picked up the garbage and loaded it into the warehouse, and then sorted it out themselves after coming back.
At that time, Ksenia covered the life capsule with other garbage, and the priest on duty that day was also Father Mellen. He was always more tolerant of her. She hesitated until everyone had left before starting to move the life capsule.
Most of these low-level believers had never experienced mental activation and testing, and the small starship was too simple. Compared with a regular starship, it was like a tin box with a drive. The mental connection was rough, and coupled with the erosion of space radiation, many people died at the beginning.
Later, seeing that there were too many dead bodies and it was difficult to deal with the bodies, the bishop asked them to wear special garbage collector uniforms and go again. However, it was not very easy, and finally some of the surviving people were selected to go up and clean up the garbage again.
Xu Lingqu sat in this simple "little starship" and waited for everyone to be in place. Father Mellen started the large starship, a crack in the ground opened, and he brought hundreds of garbage workers from underground into space.
Father Mellen nervously opened the control panel to check the status of the small starship where Xu Lingqu was.
At first, he suggested that he should just give up control of Xu Lingqu's small starship.
But Xu Lingqu believed that if she was going to act, she had to do it completely. She could break free by herself, and Father Mellen didn't dare to disobey her, so he could only obey her.
I just can't help but wonder...can she really do it?
Xu Lingqu took off her heavy garbage worker clothes and changed into the costume prepared for her by Father Mellen.
Looking at the crude operating system, Xu Lingqu reached out and pushed the lever, and her small starship began to perform difficult maneuvers in space.
Father Mellen watched as the small starship she was on suddenly began to spin continuously. The tube was instantly twisted into a pretzel shape by her operation, and the main ship's operating system immediately began to sound an alarm.
Is this something a human could do? Wouldn't an average person's brain really get mixed up in a cockpit?
Father Mellen swallowed his saliva and did not dare to act rashly.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Lingqu began to control the small starship to charge at full speed in different directions, with such great force that the entire main ship was pulled off course.
Father Myron tried to adjust his position, but before he could do anything, the tube connecting Xu Lingqu's small starship had been torn off by her...
The main ship's alarm blared, and Xu Lingqu maneuvered the small starship directly back towards the neutral star. The tube hung behind it like the tail of the small starship.
Father Mellen immediately put on an angry look and drove the main ship back to chase.
Their goal was clear, they were all heading for the center of the Flame Church island.
"There will be a collective purification ceremony on the island tomorrow. The bishop, archdeacon, and senior church members will be present."
Although the Flame Church harbored a lot of filth, many of its senior members were truly intimidated by the bishop's use of the Holy Fire. They were willing to pay the bishop and participate in the auction because of the Holy Fire.
If there was someone who could transform the sacred fire into mist right in front of them...
On the island of the Flame Church, senior believers knelt devoutly, and the bishop stood in the center with a large cluster of holy fire in front of him.
"The Holy Fire cleanses all evil in the world, transforming the turbid into pure things."
The archdeacons recited catechism with the priests, and they held a small cluster of life necklaces in their hands and hung them above the heads of senior believers to perform purification rituals for them.
At this "pious" moment, a small starship landed next to them like a meteorite fragment hitting the planet.
The loud noise startled everyone.
Father Mellen came next and drove the main ship. He did not crash into the ground directly, but controlled the hovering to land. He hurriedly came out of the cockpit, glanced at the bishop and the archbishop, gritted his teeth and shouted at the starship where Xu Lingqu was.
"Get out of here, you low-level believer with dirty thoughts. You can't stand the asceticism and are trying to defect..."
The door of the small starship where Xu Lingqu was located opened, and she slowly jumped out of the small starship in her costume in full view of everyone.
At this moment, Father Mellen opened his necklace and threw it at Xu Lingqu: "Who are you? You evil heretic! I will purify you with holy fire!"
The bishop frowned instantly. While everyone's attention was focused on him, he quickly took out the gun he had at hand, which was loaded with bullets specially made of sardonyx powder.
He instantly fired a shot in the direction of Xu Lingqu.
The bullet and the holy fire in the necklace flew towards her at the same time.
Xu Lingqu dodged the bullet with a flash and caught the sacred flame steadily. Everyone witnessed the sacred flame turning into a wisp of mist in her hand.
Seeing this scene, the bishop was stunned where he was. Xu Lingqu walked towards their larger sacred fire with ease.
Just like that small sacred flame, once they touched Xu Lingqu, they turned into a ball of mist and wrapped around Xu Lingqu's hand.
What is going on? ?
Everyone was stunned.
Xu Lingqu turned his head and met the bishop's face full of doubt and surprise. He had already retracted his gun and his expression was extremely ugly.
"What are you afraid of? The god you believe in has sent me to deliver the message."
