0652 Chapter Thirteen: A Big Adventure on a Small Holiday (Section 41)
"As expected of the [Murder Poet], with His Highness's wisdom, our little tricks can't delay much at all."
The butcher shop proprietress giggled, recovering from the pressure of God with a calmness that was not what a mortal should possess.
Even her voice suddenly changed from the hoarseness of a dying woman to the gentleness and smoothness of a mature woman. The unintentional display of cunning was enough to put the two foxes following Zhen Cheng to shame.
Hearing this answer, Zhen Cheng also smiled: "Look, isn't this a good start? Frankly speaking, you actually know me quite well, so you can talk about it later."
The old woman nodded, as if she was relieved: "Since you have guessed it, I have nothing to hide.
We do have reasons not to let the child be found, even if we pay for it with our lives.
Although the Land of All Is is the one that represents chaotic neutrality among all utopias, ultimate freedom does not mean madness. After all, this is a paradise where women live and work in peace and contentment, and it has its own rules to some extent.
If you kill some of our townsfolk, or force us to reveal our secrets by means worse than death, it will be equivalent to taking a stand against the Land of Ten Thousand Me.
I heard that the Lord loves you very much. Maybe even the Thirteen Chiefs can't do anything to you.
But even if she won't deal with it fairly, the citizens of the Land of Wanwo in Chengjing Shanggai will create a gap between the Lord and the nine disciples because of this matter.
Your Highness must know better than I do about issues involving faith and strength. In any case, this is not a situation you want to see. Right?"
Zhen Cheng nodded, but retorted: "Since you know something about me, you should know that so far, my mission for Blood Candle Castle has not failed.
I am not a person who likes to give in and compromise. I am not without the ability to force you to tell everything without hurting you, at least without anyone thinking that I have hurt you.
The reason why I asked for help politely was not because I was afraid of the Thirteenth Chief or because I cared about the teacher's opinion.
I just simply like this Kingdom of God and the women who live here, including you.
However, since I already know that you are delaying, I don't want to waste any more time. Tell me, if I must get this information, what will it take for you to tell me?"
Simple and direct, by throwing the problem back to the opponent, Zhen Cheng's move is surprisingly accurate.
After all, if the residents of Harmony Town insist on hindering the mission of the Nine Disciples without giving any reason, then I am afraid that few people in the Land of Ten Thousand Me will still be cold-hearted about committing suicide themselves.
This is completely different from Zhen Cheng killing someone to extract a confession out of emotion and arrogance.
The old woman bit her lip resentfully, and after a while she reluctantly replied: "Exchanging labor for information is something you and the mayor have agreed upon.
If you insist on obtaining information without becoming hostile to the Land of Wanwo, then I'm afraid the only way is to complete the mission entrusted by the townspeople.
So what? Seriously consider helping me clear out the goblin horde?
This commission is not an excuse to fool His Highness, but it has really brought a lot of trouble and distress to the townspeople.
These goblins were originally the property of the Brave Village next door, but these filthy things without intelligence can cross the border without authorization, but the people of the Brave Village are not qualified to trespass into the territory of Harmony Town.
If we want to allow them to enter to help drive away and annihilate, we need to submit a formal paperwork report to the church, and we may even need to pay a certain amount of compensation for this.
You have also seen the situation in Harmony Town. We have nothing to do with the world and are not rich.
If Your Highness can help us, I believe everyone in the town will be grateful to you."
"After we clear out the goblin settlement, will you be able to give me satisfactory information?" Zhen Cheng smiled half-heartedly.
Seeing that the old woman was like a deflated rubber ball, unable to speak, she simply ordered: "Niaoni, please go and call Virgo."
Sun Nini did not move, staring weakly at Zhen Cheng with tears in her eyes.
Zhen Cheng smiled, rubbed her big fluffy ears, and coaxed: "Don't worry, I won't embarrass them.
Doesn't Harmony Town want me to exchange labor for information? Then let that guy finish everything we need to do in one breath.
You clearly know my identity and yet you have made such thorough preparations. Virgo...it's a bit interesting.
By the way, try to contact the All-Women Church. Ask for help in my name. I believe they will give a satisfactory answer.
Of course, if they refuse, you don’t have to force it, just tell me the truth when you come back.”
Seeing the little fox girl heaving a sigh of relief and jumping out briskly with her two big tails swaying up and down, Zhen Cheng turned to look at the butcher shop proprietress with strange aesthetics: "Interesting...
He obviously refused to say anything, but he showed that he didn't want to confront us. This seemed more like... a temptation?
What do you want to test me to decide?
It seems that from the very beginning, the secret that you risked your lives to protect must not be revealed, right?"
The old woman rolled her eyes and looked at the ceiling, as if she was looking forward to death.
At this moment, with the crisp welcome bell, the door of the butcher shop was suddenly pushed open.
Zhen Cheng looked back as if nothing had happened, but before he could see anything clearly, his vision went dark, and something soft was stuck to his face, completely cutting off the air.
Then, a steel-hard object bound and squeezed the body...
"I'm going to... I'm going to die..." She tried her best to twist her head to open a gap, and finally squeezed out this sentence through her teeth.
Immediately, the pressure around her body disappeared, and there was a sudden lightness, which made her almost collapse to the ground.
"I'm sorry! I'm too worried about you!" Ai Luogansi giggled and supported Zhen Cheng: "As soon as I left you, I encountered all kinds of troubles, and then I could only kill and kill, but there was no solution at all.
Then I remembered that although the time I spent with you was really not that long, I seemed to have been relying on you all along.
In the underground base full of paint, in the ancient Kingdom of God, in the hometown shrouded in eternal night... Unknowingly, I have never been so unexpectedly separated to the opposite ends of the distant universe...
And now that your whole body has become magical, you don’t need to breathe at all, right? It’s okay to let me hug you more, right?”
Zhen Cheng rolled his eyes and didn't want to speak. He walked around Sister A and looked back.
In addition to Sister A, there was also a white lady at the door whom she had read simple information from Misha, and a pair of little girls who looked very weak and overly excited.
This made her unable to imagine for a moment what her sister had gone through to be able to gather such a weird team.
But even though she didn't say it, the moment Sister A appeared, she still felt a trace of peace of mind caressing her from the depths of her soul.
