New Teammate: Tulla
Cheng Shi was dumbfounded.
Because he discovered that the person standing in front of him was not Tullatin at all, but a woman whose face was completely unrecognizable, wrapped in a church robe...
But when the woman made that awkward gesture toward the three of them and uttered that predictable prayer in a hoarse voice, Cheng Shi narrowed his eyes slightly.
He was indeed, no, she was indeed Tullatin.
No, that's not right. Her current name should be Tula...
Wait, buddy, what's wrong with you too?!
Cheng Shi stared at Tullatin with a strange expression for a moment, then turned to look at the Gao Ya beside him.
Gao Ya clearly understood what Cheng Shi meant by his gaze. She frowned, snorted coldly, and turned her head away, refusing to look at Cheng Shi's mocking gaze.
Your throat...
"To achieve success, you have to go through hardship, don't you, my brother?"
Tullatin's voice was hoarse and unpleasant from the torment of the [Annihilation] power, but she didn't seem to care about these details or waste any more time. She simply pointed behind her, threw out a few church robes, and ran into the depths of the corridor, clearly indicating that she wanted the players to hide with her.
Cheng Shi picked up the robe and put it on, then followed the other person into the room at the end of the corridor.
She breathed a sigh of relief only after Tullatin closed and locked the door to the room.
Cheng Shi looked at the second woman in the cautious team with great interest, and without saying a word, cast a Healing Art on her.
Seeing Cheng Shi's practiced starting move, Gao Ya chuckled and said to Scorpio beside him:
Have you ever seen Druid who can Healing Art?
Scorpio was also a little confused. He shook his head, but quickly nodded again.
"Look at this! I've heard that some high-scoring talents can switch professions, so the Chosen of God Ones are really strong."
"..."
Gao Ya rolled his eyes, his face contempt practically boiling over.
She never imagined that there could be such an idiotic player with a score above 2000, but she also knew in her heart that Scorpio was just not quick-witted, but he was good at judging people, and at least he had latched onto a good patron.
With Cheng Shi's treatment, Tullatin's voice and appearance gradually improved. The flesh on her face became fuller and her voice became more melodious and pleasant. To be honest, compared to Gao Ya, Tullatin's transformation seemed more successful.
When she touched her face and found that she had recovered completely, Tullatin smiled and took off her hood, revealing her stunningly beautiful face.
To be honest, Cheng Shi Isle of Hope. Its bright eyes shone like dazzling stars, and the curves of its nose and lips resembled a masterpiece of sculpture.
If Hu Xuan's beauty is a combination of charm and elegance, then Tullatin in front of her is the epitome of perfection and refinement.
The three people present were stunned by the stunning beauty of the Tullatin woman and were speechless for a moment. Cheng Shi, slightly surprised, nudged Scorpio beside him with his elbow and whispered:
"Is Miss Moon really that pretty?"
Scorpio was stunned; he shook his head frantically.
"I'm certain that Miss Moon is no match for a single hair of hers."
"..." Cheng Shi gave Scorpio a strange look, thinking to himself, "I didn't expect you to be such a looks-obsessed guy."
Hearing this sincere praise, Tullatin's smile became even brighter, and the charm of his smile even made Gao Ya, who was also a "woman," a little moved.
"So, there really is a Miss Moon?"
"?"
"Um?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three players present suddenly changed from admiration and emotion to strangeness and eeriness.
Cheng Shi looked at Tullatin with a deep gaze and asked with a headache, "It seems you've been through a lot while I was away from you?"
"Yes, that's true, but don't worry, my brother, I assure you these are all good things."
"Yes, I like good things. But putting everything else aside for now, my brother, oh no, my sister, can you tell me why you chose to become a woman?"
I have a guess, but I'm afraid I'm wrong.
Tullatin smiled, a smile full of charm.
"You're not wrong, my brother, your question is wrong from the start."
You shouldn't ask me why I chose to become a woman, but rather why I became a man.
Ah?
The three of them were stunned and dumbfounded at the same time.
Cheng Shi blinked frantically, Scorpio's cerebellum overloaded, and Gao Ya's face was stiff.
Tullatin didn't leave them puzzled for long. She pointed to herself, then to the direction of the prayer room, and said with a smile:
"I was originally a woman, but I chose to become a man a few years ago."
Today, it's just a return to the past.
Hearing this, Cheng Shi was basically certain that his guess was correct. He looked at Tullatin with a complicated expression and asked:
Is it worth it?
Upon hearing this, Tullatin's smile vanished, and he said in a serious tone:
"My brother, you shouldn't say such things to me. You are the one who made me aware of His name, you are the one who brought me closer to His Will, and you are the one who wrote down His vision for me."
You are my preacher, you...
They should be even more devout than I am!
Cheng Shi was speechless, and in order to continue the Trials, he could only resort to sophistry again:
"You're on the wrong path, my... sister."
Your obsession is too strong. What we need to do is follow our hearts. There is no such thing as piety or lack thereof in Faith Him. He will not choose whether to watch or not because of piety or lack thereof. What He wants is for everyone to be free and unrestrained, to embrace their desires.
Therefore, as long as I live according to my own way, I am always a follower of His will.
Tullatin listened to Cheng Shi's words with a gleam in her eyes. She liked this will, especially her preacher's interpretation of it.
Each time she heard such fresh and rebellious remarks, she felt elated and her soul resonated with them.
"Yes, you are right, but I still feel that spontaneous piety is also a form of doing whatever one pleases, isn't it?"
"..."
Ah, right, right, you're absolutely right. Dude, no, sis, your comprehension is amazing. No wonder you're the daughter of the sect leader.
Cheng Shi shook his head and chuckled, then said:
"Leaving that aside, what are you planning to do now?"
The library has been destroyed. I don't know what happened inside, nor what your mad father is doing. What I want to say is that the Birth Descendant Technique we're looking for has probably already turned to ashes. Even if you turn back into a woman, you've probably lost your chance...
Well, to be honest, I might still have an opportunity, but you'd better think it over.
Have you really thought about becoming the mother of that "Filth and Decay" Holy Infant?
Yes, Mother!
Cheng Shi realized that this fanatical new follower of "Filth and Decay," whom he had misled, was attempting to use his own body to conceive a so-called "Filth and Decay" Holy Infant!
This kind of deity worship cannot be called crazy, because it is too common in the Life Era. Of the patients Cheng Shi has treated, nine out of ten had more outrageous reasons for having children Tullatin, and the remaining one was probably just as outrageous as her.
Therefore, Cheng Shi was not too shocked. He was just still in his mind the image of Tullatin that was calm, rational and rejecting Faith that afternoon, so he could not match the image of the fanatical Faith in front of him, which made him feel somewhat dazed and emotional.
Combining this with what Tullatin himself had said about "Miss Moon," Cheng Shi wondered if the Afros from the future had already found the person Scorpio had asked him to find, and whether that person was Tullatin in front of him.
Isn't it a bit too much of a coincidence? When is the starting point for Scorpio's deduction?
Just as he asked the question and fell into deep thought, before Tullatin could respond, Gao Ya beside him chuckled and shook his head, saying:
"The unexpected event of [time] affected your observation skills, Cheng Shi."
She doesn't need your chance at all, because...
She is already a mother.
"???"
Ah?
Cheng Shi was stunned. He turned to look at Gao Ya and then quickly turned to look at Tullatin. He saw that Tullatin's hand was indeed hanging down at his waist, occasionally stroking his waist and abdomen.
Cheng Shi initially thought it was just her being awkward, but she never expected...
No, sis, aren't you moving a little too fast?
How did the child come about?
It was conjured up?
Wait! Birth Descendant Technique!?
A glint flashed in Cheng Shi's eyes as he thought of the church library that had just been destroyed.
"You stole it? And got away unscathed?" He stared at Tullatin in astonishment, asking with a hint of disbelief.
Tullatin smiled and nodded, but there was a hint of sadness in that smile that Cheng Shi couldn't understand.
Cheng Shi frowned, his expression unusually serious. In order to prepare for the upcoming Trials, he had to find out what had happened in the church while he was away from Tullatin.
He listened Ear to the sounds outside for a while, and when he heard the church Believer still gathering in the front hall, he said in a deep voice:
"Time is short, tell me about your experiences, Ms. Tullatin."
Tullatin nodded slightly and did not hide anything, explaining everything that had happened that night in a clear and concise manner.
First, there's the Birth Descendant Technique of the Wuma Sinners sealed in the library.
