The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again
Chapter 306 Prayer
On the other side, not long after the Pope left, Jiang Liujing was taken away by Yao Xi who came over.
It seemed that because their status had changed and become more equal, the blonde girl's attitude towards him also changed slightly from the original one, becoming more casual and free.
She hardly stopped talking along the way.
"You still don't have a name?"
"Ah."
"You're willing to talk today? Then what should I call you?"
"number twelve."
"This is too casual." Yao Xi's expression showed distress. How could she call out the name on the number plate to a living person every day?
She turned around and stood still, looking at Jiang Liujing for a few times. The boy's expression was still calm, like the surface of the water on a sunny day.
For some reason, a word suddenly popped up in her mind, and she blurted out: "Jiang!"
Jiang Liujing raised his eyes slightly.
"Do you like this word?" Yao Xi looked at him expectantly.
She didn't know why she suddenly thought of this word, as she clearly didn't remember anyone with this surname.
Jiang Liujing didn't want to accept a name given to him by a stranger, but for some reason, the word suggested by Yao Xi made him feel familiar.
He stayed there for a few seconds, still without saying a word of refusal, and finally nodded slowly.
Yao Xi cheered and continued to lead the way forward.
"You have no memory either, so everything around you feels strange?"
"Also?" Jiang Liujing noticed her choice of word.
"Yes." Yao Xi said casually, "In fact, every one of us will have our past memories cleared when we enter the Divine Religion. The Pope said that everyone in the Divine Religion must serve the gods wholeheartedly, and the filth of the past does not need to continue to exist. My name and identity were told to me by others."
Jiang Liujing paused, "Have you ever thought about going back to take a look?"
"At the beginning, I thought about it," Yao Xi said, "but soon I stopped thinking about it."
She once passed by her family and wanted to go in to see what kind of world she once lived in, but was discovered by others and expelled in a panic.
"Once you become a member of the Divine Religion, there's no going back." She smiled a little sadly, but quickly suppressed the emotions in her eyes. She now had to set an example for the newcomers.
"What about you? Do you like it here?"
Yao Xi thought she would get a positive answer, after all, this young man had just obtained a very high status yesterday.
Unexpectedly, I heard a crisp and clear answer: "I don't like it."
"I will definitely leave here." Jiang Liujing said.
Yao Xi was stunned for a moment, then quickly glanced around and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that there was no shadow watching them.
She whispered anxiously, "Next time, don't say such things in broad daylight. Someone has escaped from the Cult in the past, so they keep a close watch on this matter. There are many guards around here who might eavesdrop. If they report it to the Pope, you will be punished."
"Okay." Jiang Liujing's expression remained calm. He just nodded and continued walking forward.
Yao Xi was simply impressed by his turtle-like and unshakable appearance.
Compared to him, I looked like a newcomer in my panic.
They soon arrived at their destination, a church-shaped prayer room.
Yao Xi introduced their mission for today to Jiang Liujing, which was to listen to the prayers of the "guests", communicate with the gods, and respond.
Jiang Liujing didn't expect that there would be "guests" in this seemingly strict place.
Yao Xi explained: "There are very few people here, basically only one or two a day. Only those with special status or extremely devout faith can be qualified to enter here.
They usually come to pray not only for their own wishes, but also for others.”
Jiang Liujing didn't comment, but simply asked, "Will God really answer their questions?"
Yaoxi's face showed a slightly embarrassed look.
This question obviously cannot be answered in front of outsiders, but Jiang Liujing is her companion who will complete the mission with her.
So she said honestly:
"Most of the time, no."
Jiang Liujing noticed the embarrassment in her eyes and did not continue to ask whether it was most of the time, 100 times out of 51 times, or 100 times out of 99 times.
Instead, ask, “How do we answer our guests when we don’t respond?”
Yao Xi answered quickly and expertly, "If you can solve it, give me a solution. If you can't, just say 'the time is not right'."
Jiang Liujing: "..."
He inexplicably had the feeling that the cult was just a huge makeshift group.
After waiting for more than two hours, their first customer of the day showed up.
She was a beautiful woman who looked very gentle, with eyes as calm as water. She looked very weak and had been coughing since she came in.
She seemed to be a frequent visitor here. She completed a series of procedures for worshiping the statues on her own without any guidance, and then sat down in front of Yao Xi and Jiang Liujing.
"Hello." The woman raised her melancholy eyes, her misty blue pupils seemed to condense the sky and the ocean.
"What I'm asking God for today is a way to ease the anxiety in my heart. I often feel sad, perhaps because my children have been away from me for too long."
Jiang Liujing and Yaoxi looked at each other, and Yaoxi closed her eyes. Jiang Liujing knew that she was communicating with God.
After a while, Yaoxi opened her eyes and showed no reaction. Jiang Liujing knew that she had failed.
"Did God respond to my wish?" The woman looked at the two of them expectantly.
Yao Xi didn't say anything. Jiang Liujing glanced at the woman, then suddenly grabbed a pen and paper and quickly drew a magic circle.
After finishing the drawing, he tore the paper from the notebook and handed it to the woman.
woman:"?"
"The response you want." Jiang Liujing said casually, and before the woman's eyes lit up and she thanked him gratefully and left, he added, "If you are sick, I still recommend going to the hospital for a check-up. Don't be superstitious."
The woman and Yao Xi: "..."
They all fell silent.
How presumptuous it is to say such words in the prayer room of the Church of God as the Son of God.
