Chapter 370: A wonderful night

A wonderful night

When Cheng Shi appeared beside Mo Shu's corpse, Tu Lading had already left.

She didn't know why she took off her clothes, so that when Cheng Shi used the dice stuffed in her pocket to chase over, he couldn't find her, but instead saw a Cleaner's corpse.

Of course, strictly speaking, he was no longer a Cleaner, but a pile of flesh and blood that had lost its identity.

Mo Shu's copy did indeed die, dying under Zhang Jizu's scalpel, and his flesh and blood sustenance died in Tu Lading's hands.

He had caused his death with a series of operations, but it seemed... he didn't leave any karma?

But in fact, it wasn't, because Mo Shu wouldn't care who ultimately killed him; he would only remember who inserted the first fatal knife into his body.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi sucked his teeth in pain, provoking a master for a Clown Avatar, which was a bit of a loss.

That Lord was right, greed is indeed the way to death...

Now he could only hope that after the trial, the benefactor would give more rewards to make up for his "mental trauma" in view of his hard work in helping Him recover the grant.

"It looks like it's in the direction of the church!"

Cheng Shi looked at the footprints on the ground, buried "Mo Shu" in the soil roughly, and then chased after him at high speed.

He had a method to return directly to the church, but the reason he steadily followed Tu Lading's footprints was because he didn't want the other party to have an accident on the way back to the church.

At this time, the "biggest threat" in the trial had been removed. As long as Tu Lading was saved, the next step should be a happy speedrun!

There shouldn't be any accidents...

Right?

Time backtracks slightly to the moment Cheng Shi just engaged with Mo Shu.

Fertility Church.

For the church staff, there were too many accidents tonight. First, the High Priest's son was kidnapped for no reason, then various blasphemous rumors suddenly spread in the church, followed by a big fire that burned down the Evil Infant Tribunal, and thunder from heaven destroyed a residential house in the city.

This series of changes broke the tranquility of Doer Gede, adding a touch of panic and anxiety to this thick night.

High Priest Berios stood in front of the door of the assembly hall, looking at the direction where thunder still echoed, his eyes revealing solemnity.

He had already heard the worst news from the believers. Many people outside were saying that the church's harboring of Uma Sinners was the greatest sin of blasphemy. The tolerant benefactor gave the Fertility Church many opportunities, but the church, led by some people, did not reflect on the past, so it finally brought down His anger tonight.

Otherwise, that fire wouldn't have burned at the Evil Infant Tribunal where the Uma Sinners were stationed, and that thunder wouldn't have happened to strike Doer Gede.

Many people were already calling for the High Priest to step down and atone for the people who died tonight. But Berios knew that these rumors couldn't have been spread by the public; they could only have been spread by the church's high-level officials and then carried the ignorant public opinion back.

Because ordinary people didn't even know that the staff left at the Evil Infant Tribunal were those Uma Sinners. Any public who had doubts had long been secretly dealt with by him.

Therefore, in his view, tonight's farce was simply a clumsy forcing of the palace by some people.

But Berios wasn't anxious. In the years he had been in charge of the church, this kind of thing had happened many times. What made him most concerned was what role his son, who hated heaven and earth and was against everything, played in this power struggle, and what role he played?

Was his disappearance intentional by someone with a heart, or... was he one of the initiators of this chaos?

The believers behind him looked at the High Priest anxiously, hoping he would order the chaos to be calmed as soon as possible. Berios felt that the power of the thunder in the distance was becoming more and more amazing, his gaze froze, and he said in a low voice:

"Let's chant together. I will invite the divine descent to clear out the heretics."

"Praise the High Priest, praise Fertility, praise my Lord!

Your pious believers are crawling here, singing the hymn of birth for you, praying for your gaze, begging for your protection. Under the illumination of your glory, may Doer Gede no longer be disturbed by evil, may there be no more filth hidden inside the church!"

Masses of fanatical church believers knelt on the ground and prayed loudly. Under the harmonious chorus of all living beings, Berios gradually climbed to the highest point of the Church Tower, raised his heavy High Priest staff, and tapped it on the towering idol of the God of Worship at the top of the Church Tower.

The idol of the God of Worship, touching its belly, suddenly shone brightly, and its bulging abdomen erupted with ten thousand rays of light like a small sun.

As the dazzling holy light sprinkled into every corner of the church, the top of the high tower was violently lifted, and a huge tentacle opening countless abyss black pupils shot out from it, stretching and swaying in the high sky, standing high in the chorus of all living beings, and then turned into a whip tearing the wind and thunder, lashing toward the direction of the thunder pointed by the High Priest's staff.

With a "Boom," the ruins where Cheng Shi and Mo Shu fought were lashed down by another third.

Even the thunder echoing on the ruins was scattered by this terrifying giant tentacle.

At this time, Cheng Shi was on his way back to the church. He only saw a huge shadow covering the sky and the moon attacking behind him, his figure paused, he immediately threw a dice and flashed out, and at the same time widened his eyes, his expression becoming extremely solemn.

What the hell is this!?

His 【Divine Pillar】?

Doesn't look like it; didn't feel the breath of 【Birth】.

But this shape is too similar.

Oh no, I'm afraid there has been a change in the church that even I don't know about. But is the one who caused this change my teammate or Tu Lading?

Or, did some other accident happen?

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi stopped chasing the footprints, but snapped his fingers and returned to the church outer courtyard where he had separated from the other two before. But as soon as he landed, he heard a sacred and solemn voice coming from the church tower, broadcasting sound waves layer by layer toward the entire church.

"Everything tonight is merely a smokescreen by the heretics. I have already invoked a divine descent. Under the protection and guidance of our Lord, we will eventually shatter these illusions and triumph over all evil."

Praise 【Birth】!"

"Praise 【Birth】!" The sound of praise like a mountain and sea came from the assembly hall. Cheng Shi stared at the figure on the high tower, his expression sinking slightly.

He didn't know if this High Priest knew something, nor did he know what the tentacle that looked exactly like the 【Birth Divine Pillar】 on the high tower was. He only knew that his idea of speedrunning seemed to have gone bankrupt again, because the Fertility Church clearly had powerful means to eliminate threats.

In this way, even if they spread the news of the 【Filthy Fall】 Holy Infant, it was very likely that they would be lashed to death by a tentacle, and the ones lashed to death might not just be that Holy Infant created out of thin air, but also the unlucky players.

What exactly happened!?

Cheng Shi frowned tightly and began to look for his teammates. In the fanatical church crowd, in the chaotic church courtyard, he had looked in many places, and finally found his two teammates, Tian Xie and Gao Ya, not far from the rest hall of birth.

At this time, the two were looking at each other with solemn expressions, clearly having encountered huge trouble.

Cheng Shi rushed over in one step and patted Tian Xie on the shoulder. Tian Xie saw him return and squeezed out a stiff smile.

Seeing this, Cheng Shi's heart skipped a beat, but he still asked with a smile:

"I have a piece of good news, hoping to exchange it for a piece of good news from your mouth."

Tian Xie's expression tightened, and he said awkwardly: "I originally had a piece of good news, but now... it's not easy to say."

"?"

Cheng Shi frowned and looked at Gao Ya. Currently looking at this situation, it seems that this 【Foolish】 believer can explain more clearly what happened in the church during the time he left the church to kill Mo Shu.

Gao Ya understood Cheng Shi's meaning, sneered, and said:

"Our assassin teammate didn't want to hold you back, so he slightly modified the original problem-solving train of thought, making this not-so-complicated problem... slightly more complicated."

"..."

Cheng Shi sneered unhappily: "Speak human language, otherwise, the cake will be shared with the Chief."

"!!!"

Gao Ya's expression stagnated, and after swallowing all her unwillingness, she said with hatred:

"He went to the future and overwrote the result of the deduction onto the present. As for what was overwritten, I haven't asked yet before you came back."

"?"

Cheng Shi looked at Tian Xie, his eyes narrowing slightly: "Don't tell me the church's movement was caused by you."

Tian Xie shook his head stiffly: "Don't be anxious... the church's movement has nothing to do with me, but what chain reaction will follow is hard to say, because I brought a person back from the future."

Brought a person back from the future?

Cheng Shi was stunned, and then said in surprise: "You have such a heaven-defying talent? A bit of something. But... what kind of person did you bring back?"

"..." A person who knows when that life that shouldn't be born will be born!"
