When Cheng Shi appeared next to Mo Shu's body, Turadin had already left.
For some reason he had taken off his clothes, so when Cheng Shi chased him using the dice stuffed in his pocket, he couldn't find him, but instead saw the body of a scavenger.
Of course, strictly speaking, he is no longer a scavenger, but a pile of flesh and blood that has lost his identity.
Mo Shu's clone did die, killed by Zhang Jizu's scalpel, while his flesh and blood sustenance died at Turadin's hands.
I killed him with my actions, but it seems...there is no cause and effect left?
But in fact, it is not, because Mo Shu will not care who finally killed him, he will only remember who stabbed him with the first fatal blow.
Thinking of this, Cheng Shi sucked his teeth in pain. It was not worth it to provoke a master just for a clown substitute.
That gentleman was right, greed is indeed the way to death...
Now I can only hope that after the trial, the benefactor will give me more rewards to make up for my "mental trauma" in consideration of my hard work in helping Him recover the gift.
"It looks like it's in the direction of the church!"
Cheng Shi looked at the footprints on the ground, hastily buried "Mo Shu" in the soil, and then quickly chased after him.
He had a way to return to the church directly, but the reason why he followed Tualatin's footsteps steadily was because he didn't want the other party to encounter any accidents on the way back to the church.
At this point, the "biggest threat" in the trial has been eliminated. As long as Tualatin is rescued, the next step should be a happy speedrun!
There shouldn't be any surprises...
Bar?
...
Let’s go back a little bit in time to the moment when Cheng Shi and Mo Shu just started fighting.
Divine Education Church.
For the church staff, there were too many surprises tonight. First, the son of the leader was kidnapped for no reason, then all kinds of blasphemous rumors suddenly spread in the church, followed by a fire that burned down the Inquisition, and a thunderbolt from the sky destroyed a house in the city.
This series of events broke the tranquility of Dolgod and added a touch of panic to the dark night.
Chief Patriarch Berrios stood in front of the door of the assembly hall, looking into the distance in the direction where the thunder was still echoing, his eyes solemn.
He had heard the worst news from the believers. Many people outside were saying that the church's taking in Uma sinners was the greatest blasphemy. The forgiving Lord had given the Divine Education Church many opportunities, but the church, under the leadership of some people, did not reflect on the past, so tonight it finally aroused His wrath.
Otherwise, the fire would not have burned in the Inquisition where the criminals of Uma were held, and the thunder would not have struck Dolgod.
Many people have been shouting for the head of the church to abdicate and atone for the deaths tonight, but Berrios knows that these rumors could not have been spread by the public. They could only have been spread by the church's top brass and then passed back along with the ignorant public opinion.
Because ordinary people had no idea that the staff left behind in the Evil Infant Court were the Uma criminals, any people who had any doubts had already been secretly dealt with by him.
Therefore, in his opinion, tonight's farce was simply a clumsy way for some people to force the emperor to abdicate.
But Berrios was not in a hurry. During the years when he was in charge of the church, such things had happened many times. What concerned him most was what role and contribution his son, who hated everything and loathed everything, had played in this power struggle.
Was his disappearance intentional by someone with ulterior motives, or... was he one of the initiators of this chaos?
The believers behind him looked at the leader anxiously, hoping that he could give an order to quell the chaos as soon as possible. Berrios felt the power of the thunder in the distance becoming more and more amazing, his eyes were stern, and he said in a deep voice:
"Sing together and I will call down the gods to eradicate the heresy."
"Praise the Head, praise the Divine Child, praise my Lord!
Your devout believers prostrate themselves here, singing the hymn of pregnancy for you, praying for your attention, begging for your mercy and protection. Under the shining of your glory, may there be no more evil disturbances in Dolgod, and may there be no more evil hiding in the church! "
Groups of fanatical churchgoers knelt on the ground and prayed loudly. Amid the harmonious chorus of all living beings, Berrios gradually climbed to the top of the church tower, raised the heavy staff of the leader, and lightly tapped the towering statue of the god on the top of the church tower.
The deity statue that was stroking its belly suddenly shone brightly, and its swollen belly burst into light like a small sun.
As the dazzling holy light sprinkled on every corner of the church, the top of the tower was suddenly lifted up, and an incomparably huge tentacle with countless abyss-black pupils shot out from it, stretching and swaying in the sky, standing high in the harmony of the prayers of all living beings, and then turned into a whip that tore through the wind and split the thunder, and lashed towards the place where the thunder was pointed by the leader's staff.
With a loud bang, the ruins where Cheng Shi and Mo Shu fought were pulled down by three points again.
Even the thunder echoing in the ruins was dispersed by this terrifying giant touch.
At this time, Cheng Shi was on his way back to the church. He saw a huge shadow coming towards him from behind. His body suddenly stopped. He immediately threw out a dice and dodged. At the same time, his eyes widened and his expression became extremely solemn.
What the fuck is this!?
His [Divine Pillar]?
It doesn’t look like that. I don’t feel the breath of birth.
But the shape is too similar.
It's bad. Something might have happened in the church that I'm not even aware of. But was it my teammates or Tualatin who caused these changes?
