After creating a face model using Vine Bandage Pack and several other materials, [ Zhong Lele ], who has some experience in the relevant field in the real world, directly used plant plugins to perform minor cosmetic surgery on herself, Incarnation into that unfortunate nun and locking her in her favorite cabinet.
By tomorrow morning, the orphans in the chapel will say goodbye forever to a nun who liked to abuse them under various pretexts, and instead gain a new sister Qieli.
[ Zhong Lele ]'s game progress is going smoothly, but that doesn't mean other players are doing the same.
Aside from a few exceptional half-dragons like [ Lion Hidden in the Eyes ] who chose to mutate, most of the local residents of Fir City have no affection for the Soul Returner.
They wear strange clothes, speak with peculiar accents, and have equally peculiar thought processes. They don't like to pay for things they take, they are impolite in their speech and actions, and they can just walk into other people's houses without permission...
All of these are part of the chaotic nature exhibited by the players.
Players also didn't have much affection for these xenophobic and indifferent citizens, since they weren't NPCs of their faction and there was no need to be as polite as they were to the believers in Riverside Village and the other towns.
With both sides disliking each other, the night was not as peaceful as it seemed.
Some thick, powerful roots stretched into the not-quite-closed house, quickly turning the flesh and blood inside into a tangled mess.
Some players who used "cocoons" to AFK in remote alleys were completely unaware of what was happening and became the spoils of those living plants.
As dawn broke, the city finally returned to tranquility once again.
The roadside trees have completely disappeared, and the streets and alleys that were occupied by sturdy trees at night have been transformed, except for a few indistinct footprints remaining on the snow...
By midnight, the cathedral, which had been gaping open like a giant maw, had returned to its original state, and a dozen or so bodies were laid out one by one before Antiya Lisi.
The living plants, having transformed back into humanoid forms, obediently returned to their cages, inserting their roots from the wall back into their backs.
[Current Time: 6:00 AM in the World of Disorder, Number of Surviving Soul Returner: 19]
It was working hours again, and some priests and nuns who did not live in the chapel began to file into the chapel.
Of course, there are quite a few Pure Ones among them, but proportionally more than half have been corrupted.
Some of the more amiable priests greeted the young woman standing at the gate:
" Qieli, good morning, what are you doing standing here?"
[ Zhong Lele ] patted the wooden wardrobe next to him:
"The children's wardrobes were chewed up by mice, so I'm planning to replace them with new ones."
Several priests nodded in agreement. They had always heard that Qieli was a gentle nun who cared for children, and now they saw that it was indeed true.
Some priests or nuns looked puzzled, trying to find something amiss on her face.
Soon, two middle-aged men dressed locally appeared near the church. Led by a patrolling priest, they arrived at the chapel entrance and found " Qieli."
"Hello, we're here to replace your wardrobe."
"Here you go, take it. How long will it take for the new one to arrive?"
"It will take about five to ten days. We will discuss it with you beforehand."
The two bowed respectfully, then lifted the wardrobe with strong ropes, one on each side, and swayed as they walked away into the distance.
The matter is finally resolved.
With a huge weight lifted off their shoulders, [ Zhong Lele ] felt incredibly relaxed and refreshed.
She turned around with a smile, only to find a stern-faced middle-aged nun standing behind her. She looked into [ Zhong Lele's] eyes:
" Qieli, I've never heard of this before."
[ Zhong Lele ] immediately bowed slightly, wondering how to brush off the other party, when he heard the nun continue:
"You'll have to pay for the wardrobe replacement yourself; don't even think about coming to me."
After saying that, she turned and walked into the chapel, completely unconcerned about what the fake nun behind her thought.
[ Zhong Lele ] felt the atmosphere around him and suddenly realized that the relationship between the priests and nuns in the chapel was not much different from that in the workplace in the real world.
We're only superficially familiar with each other, but we don't keep in touch at all after work. It's a relationship that only lasts for a specific period of time.
Thinking about this, a subtle idea came to her mind—
There is no official time limit for each " Fir City Operation," meaning that as long as her identity remains unexposed, she can continue to infiltrate as Sister Qieli.
This is not a privilege reserved for [ Zhong Lele ] alone; other players can do the same.
So... how about we organize a group role-playing game?
At the end of an alley in Fir City, [ Mules and Horses Drive the Sun ] broke the signal spool that Jerry had personally given him.
According to the setup of this device, professional "personnel" would arrive to pick them up in about ten minutes.
[Xiexie Huigu] tapped the wooden wardrobe beside him intermittently, and in the intervals between taps, responses came from inside the wardrobe.
He meticulously turned on the translation function and asked his companion:
"Dude, what do you think will happen to her after she goes back?"
"It's hard to say."
"Maybe it'll be locked in the closet forever?"
"It's not that simple."
The nun inside the wardrobe was about to say something when she saw a milky-white, semi-transparent thread fall in front of her through the crack in the door.
As the two were talking, they heard a faint buzzing sound. A Soldier Bee was hovering in the early morning sky, looking down at them.
[ Xiexie Huigu ] I didn't see any other Soldier Bee, and my instinct told me something was wrong.
He pointed to himself, then to the [ Mules and Horses Drive the Sun ] beside him, and finally to the wardrobe next to him.
It means: Take all three with you.
The Soldier Bee glanced at him, then decisively shook its head and flew away.
"Hey buddy, what does this mean? Are you refusing me a ride?"
[The phrase "[ Mules and Horses Drive the Sun ]" is a bit confusing.]
[Xiexie Huigu] calmly explained:
"It's not that it refuses to carry us, it's just that it can't handle overloading. How can one bee carry the three of us?"
"That's true..."
A few minutes later, three Soldier Bee flew in from a distance, and their silk threads once again fell down beside the two of them.
This time it's clearly "one person, one car".
They wrapped a few loops of milky white, semi-transparent silk thread around the cabinet, and the two of them, along with the cabinet, embarked on their journey back to the Second Holy See, led by three Soldier Bee.
