The Squinty-Eyed One Returns to the Team

"I'll take you to him right now!"

Tullatin looked excited; although the plan hadn't started yet, she seemed to already see the day when the Filth and Decay would descend.

But Cheng Shi dared not let her take the risk herself. It seemed that whether the child in her belly was artificially created or a gift from heaven, it was likely the Life That Should Not Be Born. If something went wrong with Tullatin, all the efforts of the day would be in vain.

So Cheng Shi shook his head and rejected Tullatin's suggestion. He looked out the window and said seriously:

"Not to mention that the church members are all gathered in the inner hall and it's difficult for us to get close, just considering the importance of the child in your belly, we can't let you continue to show your face in public these next few days."

Before the plan is over, the most important thing is not to spread His name, but to preserve the Holy Infant!

"Even after the birth of the Holy Infant, we can spread His Will elsewhere through the stories that unfold here, even after leaving Dolgo D. But if the Holy Infant dies, everything must start all over again."

Tullatin was taken aback by these words, and then said with confusion, "My brother, you said that we need to create a Holy Infant, which is why I had the idea of conceiving him myself. Even though I really want him to be that Holy Infant, I must remind you that the child in my womb is not the one truly chosen by Him."

"No, from this moment on, he is already our Holy Infant, the true chosen one of God." Cheng Shi turned around, smiling brightly.

"Was this also part of your plan?" Tullatin's expression turned strange as he recalled the entire process of his pregnancy.

"Of course not, this was obviously an accident. I never thought you would be so... devout, but that doesn't stop an accident from being part of the plan."

Think about it, if we don't even believe that this child is the Holy Infant, how can we deceive... and make others believe it?

A lack of self-confidence will lead to numerous mistakes, so from this moment on, the child in your womb can only be, and must be, our Holy Infant.

Tullatin looked down at his stomach, his expression unreadable.

To be honest, she didn't object to this idea, and even looked forward to this kind of "recognition." However, under the influence of traditional Faith over the years, she still instinctively thought that fabricating deities was a blasphemous act.

But whenever this thought crossed her mind, she remembered what Cheng Shi had said:

Embracing desire is the greatest offering to Him.

So, if we were to be a little Greed at this moment and accept this Nothingness title, wouldn't we also gain His attention?

"Lisfir is a cautious old fox. He won't believe you if I'm not there."

Old fox?

Coincidentally, I wanted to see if I could fool the old fox.

"You are dead. Remember, Tullatin is dead, killed by his selfless father, the head priest. In fact, it was Lisfir who killed you."

He harmed you, and yet you, after being resurrected, still want to go find him. This is illogical.

I have a more reasonable way to get him to accept our plan. All you have to do is find a safe place to give birth to the Holy Infant, and I'll see...

I'm also a little impatient.

As he spoke, Cheng Shi looked at Tullatin's belly.

Since the Birth Descendant Technique can shorten the gestation period of several months to just a few days, it means that Tullatin's belly is growing bigger every moment.

"Okay, you are His most devout follower, I will follow your arrangements."

"..."

That hat is kind of scary, lady.

Cheng Shi chuckled twice, shrank back, and then turned to his teammates behind him, saying:

"It's late. Let's find a place to rest first. After we've evaded the church's search tonight, Scorpio and I will go to see that Lisfir. As for the Soloist, you'd better stay close to Old Zhang and protect the mother of our Holy Infant after Old Zhang returns."

Otherwise, that Hunter outside won't be as easy to talk to as I am.

Tullatin was taken aback by these words, and seemed to want to say something, but after seeing Cheng Shi's signal, she swallowed her words back.

Gao Ya's expression changed several times. He stared at Cheng Shi and said in a deep voice, "Why not take advantage of the night? Can you be sure you can get back before noon if we act tomorrow morning?"

"Uncertain."

"You...!!"

"But don't forget, Old Zhang is here. As long as you stick close to him, I don't think that Pastry Chef can kill you. Old Zhang doesn't seem like a cold-blooded person."

Gao Ya snorted coldly, "The Believer of [Death] don't even have blood, so how can they talk about hot and cold?"

"[Death] As a deity, His physical body and divine personality are not something that Mortals can understand, but His Believer are not all skeletons without flesh and blood."

There is no doubt that warm blood flows in my veins; a Folly person should not make such a mistake.

Just then, Zhang Jizu appeared from outside the window.

As soon as he appeared, he refuted Gao Ya's words, then gently knocked on the glass twice to signal everyone to let him in. Scorpio quickly stepped forward and opened the window. Zhang Jizu flipped over and jumped in, smiling at everyone in the room.

But when he saw the pregnant, somewhat familiar-looking girl, his smile froze.

"Tullatin?"

Tullatin greeted me with a smile, "Tullatin is a thing of the past. My name is now Afros."

?

Zhang Jizu narrowed his eyes, nodded thoughtfully, and looked at Cheng Shi, wanting to hear some explanation from Cheng Shi. However, Cheng Shi asked in surprise, "You alone?"

"Two of them. He was on lookout outside. When we arrived, we saw all the church members gathering. Just in case, one of them was left outside to provide backup."

Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "As expected of Steady Zhang."

"Looks like you and the chief have developed some chemistry? You trust him that much?"

Zhang Jizu smiled with narrowed eyes, "I don't really believe it, but it's alright, I've already drugged it."

"..."

Stable!

Absolutely perfect!

Cheng Shi clapped his hands in admiration. He grabbed Tullatin and Zhang Jizu, and put their hands together in front of everyone.

"You should have heard that. Now I'm handing Afros over to you, Old Zhang."

Watching the scene unfold before him, resembling an elderly father tearfully marrying off his daughter, Zhang Jizu's eyes, which had just opened, narrowed again.

"It took me a long time to pinpoint your location, and when I arrived, all I heard was the voice of [Folly]. Shouldn't you explain the current situation to me, and...?"

He glanced at Tullatin's still-swollen belly and frowned.

"And what's the deal with this Afros?"

"On the way, we'll find a place to take refuge first. Once we get there, I'll tell you a bedtime story. Trust me, after hearing this story, you'll definitely get a good night's sleep."

"..." Zhang Jizu was not quite convinced, but Cheng Shi had already pushed the two of them out.

"Old Zhang, protect her. That's the only thing. Protecting her guarantees victory."

Tullatin was completely confused, but her focus wasn't on the intricate relationships among these "Filth and Decay" Believer. She had only one thought in her mind: to save her child, a "Filth and Decay" holy infant whom Cheng Shi had identified.

Zhang Jizu's pragmatic mindset far outweighed his curiosity, so he listened to advice and took the lead, with Scorpio clinging to his leg and following closely behind.

Gao Ya, who was at the back, frowned slightly as she watched Cheng Shi and Zhang Jizu's retreating figures. She noticed a relaxation in their expressions, unlike during the day, which gave her some clues. After a moment of contemplation, she suddenly froze, her eyes widening in disbelief as she murmured to herself:

"That's impossible. Is the Chosen of God so easy to solve?"

No, this might be a test; they're testing my attitude!

Gao Ya's gaze sharpened as he saw the group making their way out along the high wall and the corner of the courtyard. He quickly jogged after them.

"Whether they've dealt with the Cleaner or not, they'll likely survive if they listen to the Fate Weaver. Gao Ya, hold on, hope is just around the corner, you can't die yet!"
