Willing to Step In

When Ye Kong changed back into her own clothes and walked out the door, she immediately saw her inviter.

The man looked very excited. "I knew you could succeed."

"Thanks to you," Ye Kong said very politely.

"Haha, I hope you can work hard in the future, so I can benefit from it too. I definitely can't help you with the future. There's no time requirement for becoming a full nun, so theoretically it's not impossible for you to succeed in the second month. Of course, what I said earlier was a bit of an exaggeration; it seems like no one in history has ever succeeded that quickly. Haha..."

Ye Kong: "..."

After an awkward silence, the man scratched his head and said, "Then I'll be going, I won't bother you anymore."

"Yes, goodbye, sir."

Ye Kong waved to the other party and let out a breath.

Actually, this person is quite nice. The Mystic Thread actually discovered that he is one of the few men who has no evil desires for himself, but is indeed completely attracted to him.

Yes, the other person likes me, but doesn't have any ulterior motives.

He doesn't even have any ideas, and he doesn't even allow himself to have any dishonest or unclean thoughts. Such a person is really rare.

"If I were an ordinary common girl, my life might have been changed by him."

Becoming a nun isn't just about being good-looking; at least those who came to register today all had some kind of introduction.

It can be seen that the man was actually his first hurdle.

Only if he believes he is qualified will the subsequent process be much simpler. Otherwise, if he goes alone, who knows if it will go smoothly?

"Go back, make preparations, and come back tomorrow."

My only regret today is not seeing those high-ranking people from the Holy See.

For example, bishops, High Priest, and the like.

Or perhaps the members of the Holy Knight Order or the Deacon didn't see it either.

I didn't encounter any natural Zhiyi'er either.

The church includes not only this main hall, but also a garden behind it that connects to many other buildings, including the nuns' dormitory.

Ye Kong was somewhat looking forward to what would happen next.

I had imagined the interior of the Light-Praying Church would be so solemn and boring, but to my surprise, all the nuns were gentle girls.

In comparison, the people that Zhiyi'er came into contact with... tsk tsk.

It's safe to say that the nuns and those guys aren't from the same system.

According to the intelligence obtained by Zhiyi'er, institutions like the Inquisition are the most oppressive entities within the Light Prayer Church.

"Anyway, it doesn't concern me much for the time being."

Back home, Ye Kong immediately hugged Ye Qian No. 3 and gave her a big kiss to celebrate (not to take advantage of her).

Once she calmed down, Ye Qian turned her attention to the Cannon Fodder Clone.

More and more Cannon Fodder Group individuals started going to the Mel World to eat the coconut meat of the Abyss Worm.

The Cannon Fodder Group now has 10 members who have been converted, and this current batch is the second group of 10.

And what about the first batch of 10 people?

Five were temporarily assigned to Lianwen's side to increase the power of Dusk, so as to cause some trouble for the Fading Lamp Society later.

The remaining five went to small, peripheral places like Konghai City to see if they could make contact with local forces there in order to expand Dusk's sphere of influence.

Of course, you should also search for more promotion opportunities.

Chapter 160 Willing to Take Action

The next morning, Miss Ye Kong had already arrived at the church.

"Are they here?"

Although she arrived early, the formal nuns had already performed a prayer by then.

Upon seeing Ye Kong, Ellen immediately led her to the dressing room and gave her several brand-new nun's clothes that matched her figure.

"The work of a novice nun is usually chores. Go to the next room, where a senior nun will guide you."

"Uh-huh."

After listening to Ellen's words, Ye Kong nodded vigorously and then obediently went to the next room.

As soon as I entered the gate, I saw quite a few novice nuns dressed in black uniforms.

The woman in the lead was clearly older, probably in her 30s. When she saw Ye Kong, she smiled and gestured for Ye Kong to join her in the line.

"Given that several new employees have arrived in the past two days and may not be familiar with the work process here, we need two people to specifically explain it to them."

"I'll do it."

A nun decisively took a step forward.

"Lu Hai? Hmm, then this one is yours."

The elderly nun pointed with a smile as she reached out her hand towards where Ye Kong was.

"Clear."

Lu Hai walked over, bowed slightly to Ye Kong, and said with a smile, "Come with me."

And so, for the next two hours, they simply walked around the interior of the church and all the places that novice nuns could go.

"This is your work schedule for today. We will give you a work schedule later."

Standing before the enormous statue of the god, gazing at this abstractly painted God of Light Prayer, Ye Kong remained silent for a moment before obediently nodding.

The task was to use a rag to clean the dirtier areas in the main hall.

This is actually a spare hall, and no one uses it at times like these. The main shrine in front is where most believers come to pray.

The nun from the land and sea took out a thick stack of towels and said with a smile, "The statue is the most sacred place. You must use a clean towel here. Once you've wiped it, you can't use that towel on the statue again. Please be careful."

"Uh-huh!"

They're quite particular, buying a new one every day?

That's extravagant.

They even mess around with unused idols like this.

"I've already said more. I'm leaving now. I still have work to do. There will be official nuns coming to check later. Keep up the good work."

If you make a mistake at work, the salary deduction can be quite substantial, and you might even be fired.

However, Ye Kong's purpose wasn't for the salary; she wanted to know how to become a full-fledged nun as quickly as possible.

Full-fledged nuns not only avoid chores, but also have access to even more impressive people every day.

Most importantly, becoming a full nun inevitably involves some contact with things related to the Hidden Circle. The Holy See even periodically distributes Life Energy or helps with advancement.

Taking a towel, Ye Kong put it in the bucket of water next to him, wet it, and then stood in front of the statue.

Look up at your head...

Beneath the black robe was a face without features.

This sculpture looks quite nice from a distance, rather cool, but upon closer inspection, it lacks any detail and is inexplicably abstract.

"I feel that the God of Light Prayer should be male."

My gaze fell on the statue's trousers.

"I wonder if that thing will be carved out... cough cough... oh no, I'm getting the wrong idea."

For some reason, Miss Ye Kong, who felt she had been malicious, shifted her focus and began to carefully wipe the cloth.

"It's so clean it's practically undetectable. Even if I do nothing, no one will notice."

I wiped it little by little until I reached the back. There was something that looked like a lift next to me. I walked over and pressed the button, and it slowly rose up.

"I see, it can also be adjusted in height and forward/backward position."

Overall, it's quite convenient.

She silently cleaned the entire statue before landing.

Just then, footsteps suddenly came from the other end of the hall.

Ye Kong, who was lying on the steps behind the statue, had a sudden thought and peeked out.

A few seconds later, a man dressed in black Knight armor walked out of the passageway.

His gaze happened to turn in this direction, and his eyes met those of the girl who had poked her head out.

For a fleeting moment, he was momentarily lost in thought.

The girl immediately pulled her head back.

"Duan Luo, how's my matter going?"

Suddenly, a figure caught up from behind, and a familiar voice came from that person's throat.

"Zhiyi'er?" Upon hearing this voice, Sister Ye Kong's lips twitched.

That guy hasn't been to this church for a while.

They didn't seem particularly keen to come.

They caught up with the Knight in black armor.

The Black-Armored Knight, known as "Section," turned around and saw Zhiyi'er chasing after him.

"The Blood Cherry Society? That just so happens I was looking for you. The higher-ups have confirmed it's a dangerous cult, and they'll be launching operations in Konghai City. The Inquisition decided not to investigate you further, deeming you harmless."

Upon hearing this, Zhiyi'er's pupils contracted slightly, followed by a look of surprise on his face.

"Alright, Deacon, get back to work. No one will suspect you now." Patting Zhiyi'er the shoulder, the black-armored Knight glanced in the direction of the statue, hesitated for a moment, and then turned and left.

Zhiyi'er also left in the direction he came from.

Only then did Ye Kong cautiously peek out.

"This Black-Armored Knight... Hmm, Duan Luo, could he be a member of the famous Holy Knight Order?"

With this question in mind, Miss Ye Kong quickly put away the towel, carefully walked several dozen meters to the side, and then let the Mystic Thread pass through the vicinity of the other party.

Duan Luo then walked to a side hall and sat down in a place that resembled an office.

An old man dressed in Priest's robe glanced at him and poured him a cup of coffee.

"Is the investigation into Zhiyi'er over just like that?"

"It's over. He didn't really do anything wrong, and with a Mithril Rank combatant, he's still very useful in a small place like this."

The old man chuckled and said calmly, "I heard you were recently sent to deal with a group of extraterrestrial invaders, and you failed?"

Duan Luo picked up his coffee, took a sip, thought for a moment, and shook his head, saying, "It's more accurate to say that the opponents are too cunning. Their abilities seem to be related to shadows, and their ability to exploit the Pollution of this world is also stronger than that of ordinary invaders."

"This era is becoming increasingly turbulent."

"Invaders from outside the territory."

Information obtained online suggests that this is a term used to refer to non-native beings. To the Church, these individuals are no less dangerous than Evil Cult members.

"Is this world also being invaded by other dimensions? No, this may be different from my understanding of interdimensional travel."

After a brief analysis of the two people's inner thoughts, Miss Ye Kong roughly understood that the so-called extraterrestrial invaders were perhaps better described as intruders.

At certain specific times, the connections between different periods of time are so close that some "lucky ones" may cross the void and descend into this world.

The other party probably never expected to come.

However, once they arrive here, they often pose a threat to this place.

"This kind of thing has little to do with me. I'll just be more careful in the future."

Miss Ye Kong breathed a sigh of relief, picked up a towel, and began wiping the table next to her.

Before long, a full-fledged nun came over and, seeing how earnest the new little girl was, nodded in satisfaction.

"It seems my plan to work within the Holy See has succeeded, but getting a permanent position is difficult. However, given how much Sister Ellen values me, she might consider recommending me for the next batch."
