Facing the cardinal's questioning, Liu Tong broke into a cold sweat, and the other people didn't even dare to raise their heads, because there was no place for them to speak.
Liu Tong swallowed his saliva and replied with a fearful expression: "Sir, the plan failed because of force majeure factors and the intervention of powerful aborigines."
"Aboriginal people?" The paper man's eyes were rolling, and his voice was strange and authentic: "As far as I know, the survivors in that world are basically old, weak, women and children. How could anyone hinder you?
?”
"The one who took action was the remnant soul of the ancient old Dragon King. He not only killed our companions, but also opened the passage between the two realms, attracting the attention of the people in the holy realm, so our plan failed." Liu Tong hurriedly failed.
replied.
Hearing this, the paper figure kept twisting her head, a full 90 degrees, as if to judge whether Liu Tong was telling the truth. After a long while, she spoke again: "It sounds false, you don't know."
Is there any hidden information?"
"Master Bishop, this subordinate deserves death!" Upon hearing this, Liu Tong could no longer withstand the pressure. He knelt on the ground with a plop, his head on the ground and said: "It's because I didn't discipline my subordinates well. That Dragon Soul's
The master had a chance to be killed by my men, but she cared about her personal relationship and did not kill her, which led to the failure of our action plan."
"Oh?" The pale face of the paper man showed obvious murderous intent: "As a believer of the Lord, but still caring about personal affairs, you really deserve to be killed."
"Yes, it's just..."
"Just what?" the paper man asked puzzledly.
"My subordinates... failed to kill her." Liu Tong stammered: "After her action plan failed, she promised the Lord that she could break through to the late three-star stage within three days, otherwise she would take the initiative to sacrifice her soul.
The Lord acquiesced to her request, so according to the church's rules, I was not allowed to take action against her during this period."
"Then what? She succeeded?" The paper man's tone seemed a bit surprised. Breaking through to the late three-star stage in three days really sounded like a fantasy.
"Well...she did succeed, so I no longer have the right to deal with her. I can only imprison her in the dungeon first." Liu Tong replied.
The paper man nodded.
"Take me to meet her."
Underground prison.
This is the depths of a cave. It is dark, damp and cramped. The air is filled with the smell of blood and putrefaction. In the dim dungeons, criminals who are about to be judged are imprisoned everywhere.
The body fell to the ground.
Qu Qiuyue is in one of the dungeons. There are no chains on her body, because she has broken through to the late three-star stage, and the chains in the dungeon cannot bind her at all.
But she had no intention of escaping. Instead, she sat quietly on the ground, her eyes scanning the floor of the prison opposite from time to time. There was a corpse lying there, with a bloody hole visible in her chest.
Generally speaking, the prisoners in this dungeon are all death row prisoners, and Qu Qiuyue is no exception.
Such a big action plan collapsed completely due to his own fault. Logically speaking, it is already a proper capital crime, and it is normal to execute him on the spot.
However, because Qu Qiuyue broke through to the late Samsung stage on the spot and showed her value, this may change the above idea to a certain extent. After all, talents are scarce everywhere, even in the Church of the Evil God.
Of course, Qu Qiuyue was not sure whether she had been sentenced to death, but she had done everything she could, and now she could only resign herself to fate.
Anyway, the worst case scenario is death. Even if she is alive, she is nothing more than a walking corpse. Death is a relief.
Time passed minute by minute, and screams were heard from deep in the dungeon from time to time. Qu Qiuyue knew that another unlucky guy had been executed.
Just when Qu Qiuyue was thinking about whether she would follow in the footsteps of those unlucky ones, the space in her prison suddenly became distorted, and several figures appeared in front of her.
Seeing the person coming, Qu Qiuyue's pupils shrank slightly and her heart tightened.
"Your Majesty the Bishop..."
The bishop, who usually showed no sign of the dragon, actually sent a paper man clone to come in person today. She could not think of any other possibility except to pursue the responsibility.
"Bold!" Seeing that Qu Qiuyue was still standing, Liu Tong immediately shouted loudly: "The bishop is here in person, why don't you, a little mid-level deacon, kneel down?"
"I only believe in my Lord." Qu Qiuyue was unexpectedly stubborn. She raised her head and said firmly: "Except for my Lord, I will not kneel to anyone else!"
Now Liu Tong didn't dare to speak. The entire church was serving the Lord. Qu Qiuyue mentioned the name of the Lord, let alone the bishop. Not even the three popes dared to say a word.
"If you don't kneel, don't kneel." As expected, the paper man did not pursue the matter, but said in a sharp and dramatic tone: "Qu Qiuyue, do you know what crime you have committed?"
"I understand that I am guilty." Qu Qiuyue lowered her head and replied, "I should not care about personal feelings and be soft-hearted. This is a taboo in the church."
"You are a first-time offender. I will spare your life this time and will not do it next time." The paper man's voice sounded faintly: "However, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped, so let's use paper punishment as a small punishment!"
When they heard about paper punishment, everyone's expressions changed slightly. They had worked under the paper bishop for many years, so they naturally knew how terrible the punishment was.
Qu Qiuyue's expression did not change. Compared with death, punishment like paper punishment was simply insignificant. It seemed that she had made the right bet. The bishop was indeed reluctant to kill her directly!
Thinking of this, Qu Qiuyue nodded.
"It all depends on the Bishop."
The paper man stretched out his thin flat paper palm and placed it directly on Qu Qiuyue's left shoulder. At that moment, a chissing sound was heard, and Qu Qiuyue's entire left arm shrank rapidly.
Qu Qiuyue gritted her teeth and endured the severe pain that was unbearable for ordinary people. Soon her left arm seemed to be two-dimensional, with almost only a piece of arm skin left, which was no different from a paper man.
It's just a paper arm on a local scale.
"This time the paper torture will only destroy one of your arms. The next time I will make you into a paper man, I hope there will be no next time." The paper man said.
Hearing this, the pale Qu Qiuyue nodded, gritted her teeth and said: "Please rest assured, Lord Bishop, my subordinates will never do this again!"
"Yes." The paper man nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Liu Tong and the others, and said bluntly: "Deacon Liu Tong, I am here this time to hand over the next task for Daier and others. You must carry it out well.
."
"If something goes wrong again, I will turn you into paper figures and burn them to ashes in a fire!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Tong and others trembled immediately, looking extremely frightened, and repeatedly promised: "I promise to complete the mission!"
The bishop didn't say much, but went straight to the topic.
