Welcome to the Underground World!

Their duty as priests is to eradicate emotional crimes. They are the Church's most loyal and sharpest sword. If they discover that their companions have betrayed the Church and become emotional criminals, they will arrest the traitors without hesitation.

If it were the old him, upon discovering that Chen Mo had developed emotions, he would have definitely captured Chen Mo and handed him over to the Church. If Chen Mo resisted, he would have killed him outright.

Now that Chen Mo had discovered his emotional breakdown, he simply left a message, telling John to go somewhere with him that night, before leaving. This left John Peston completely puzzled. As his emotions gradually calmed down, a possibility flashed through his mind.

Could it be that he also...?!

John Peston then became conflicted. If it was really as he thought, then Chen Mo, the person who indirectly caused his wife's death and personally sent her to the incinerator, could not be considered his enemy, but rather a comrade-in-arms, which he found hard to accept.

However, after calming down and thinking about it carefully, even if he were in that situation, it seemed that he had no other choice but to arrest and cremate his wife according to the Church's requirements. The Church was the one who really killed his wife. Chen Mo was just an executor who could not disobey the Church's orders. Even he himself was the same. Apart from watching his wife being taken away and coldly watching her being consumed by flames, he could do nothing!

Even under the suppression of "Bosean", he could not feel the pain. It was not until today that he completely broke free from the control of "Bosean" and finally woke up!

Thinking this way, John Peston felt guilty, but his resistance to Chen Mo lessened considerably. At the same time, he felt a sense of shared misery. Like himself, Chen Mo was powerless to resist the Church's brutal rule. His wife was just one of the millions of victims under the Church's dark rule. To end all of this, the Church's dictatorial rule had to be overthrown!

However, John Preston, as a senior clergyman, knew the power of the church all too well, and overthrowing the church was no easy task.

Perhaps Chen Mo can give him an answer tonight.

After finishing their mission that day, Chen Mo and John Preston acted as if nothing had happened, returning to Libya City a car without saying a word.

That evening, Chen Mo personally drove to pick up John Passton and they headed to the Free Reading Room in the District 48.

At this point, no one was reading inside anymore. The entire corridor and the reading rooms on both sides were completely dark, with all the lights off. Only one room at the end of the corridor still had a light on, and the dim light cast long shadows of the two people. The entire corridor seemed deep and quiet.

John Preston wasn't frightened by this, but he still secretly perked up. After all, his previous thoughts were just guesses, and he would only be able to confirm the truth by seeing it with his own eyes.

Following Chen Mo, the two walked to the door of a room with the lights on. Chen Mo pushed the door open and went inside.

John Peston perked up and followed him into the room, only to find that it was no different from other reading rooms, with a podium in front, tables below, and a huge bookshelf that filled an entire wall on one side.

There was only one middle-aged man in the room at the moment, sitting behind the podium with his head down reading a book. When he saw the two men enter, he first glanced at their priestly robes, his gaze lingering on John Preston for a moment before looking at Chen Mo. Seeing Chen Mo nod slightly, he then reached into his pocket, took out a remote control, and pressed the button on the bookshelf on the side.

The middle section of the bookshelf then slowly parted to the sides, revealing a secret room inside.

Chen Mo didn't greet John Preston and walked straight into the bookshelf. Seeing this, John Preston had basically confirmed his deduction: Chen Mo really was a member of the Resistance Organization!

Aside from the Resistance Organization, he couldn't think of any other force that could build a secret chamber in this place; as for the Church, they had absolutely no need to go to such lengths.

Without hesitation, John Preston followed Chen Mo into the secret room, only to find that a new secret passage was slowly opening up on the ground in front of the room, leading underground.

Seeing Chen Mo stride away and disappear down the secret passage, John Preston quickly followed.

Descending the staircase to the underground and turning a corner, John Preston found himself in a bustling underground space. Although there weren't as many people as during the day, there were still quite a few people gathered in small groups, discussing something in a free and lively atmosphere.

John Peston turned to look at Chen Mo standing beside him. Chen Mo, who hadn't spoken to him since their encounter in the secret room in the Nithers District during the day, finally spoke.

Welcome to the underground world!

As Chen Mo spoke, a smile appeared on his usually stern face.

John Preston, who had never seen Chen Mo smile before, couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

However, this also proves his guess that Chen Mo is indeed a victim of emotional crimes!

"Here it is?"

John Preston asked as he looked around at the surroundings and the people.

"This is the Resistance Organization's underground base."

The one who answered him was not Chen Mo, but Jurgen walked over from the side.

"Pastor Kevin James! It's so nice to finally meet you!"

Jurgen stepped forward, but instead of continuing his conversation with John Preston, he greeted Chen Mo first.

This was actually Chen Mo's first time at the underground base, but the Resistance Organization leaders had been eagerly anticipating his arrival.

Chen Mo was the only one among their "mysterious allies" whose identity they knew for certain. It was Jurgen who personally arranged for Elo Partjee to recommend Chen Mo to join the Jehovah Cleric Reserve Corps, and this was the first time they had met.

Chen Mo nodded to Jurgen, and without any further pleasantries, got straight to the point.

"Is everything arranged?"

Jurgen was not dissatisfied with Chen Mo's attitude. During this period, their "mysterious ally" had proven its terrifying strength and stance. As the only "ally" member to show up, Chen Mo, who had risen from an ordinary soldier to Gray Robe Cleric in a short period of time thanks to his exceptional talent, formidable strength, and the covert operations of the organization behind him, was definitely a core high-ranking member of their "ally" force.

Moreover, according to Elo Partja, Chen Mo is expected to become High Priest soon, which shows just how terrifying his abilities are.
