Girls, welcome to the Desire Bus

The girl shook her long flowing hair and said, "Let her in."

----

"I didn't expect it to be the home ground of the Thorn Sin Church."

"It's a bit troublesome."

The watchmaker gently stroked the words on the dial, his eyes becoming more solemn.

For him, the home ground of the Church of the Sin of Thorns is not a good choice.

Those crazy believers who have been transformed by the Church of Thorns are that guy's most powerful weapons.

Using innocent people as shields... this is what he hates the most.

However, the middle-aged man next to him was more open-minded.

"The choice of replica is not something you and I can decide."

“Now that you have a goal, do your best to achieve it.”

"After all...your town is still waiting for you to save it."

The watchmaker took one last look at the words on the pocket watch, then clenched it tightly.

When he raised his head, there was only determination in his eyes.

"Let's go."

"Go join the dispute!"

Chapter 133 Please Allow Me to Preach

When the light fades.

Ryo Amagawa and his companion Ryoko Yamazaki have arrived at their destination.

【Changjin City】.

As soon as I arrived in the city, I saw the church bell tower towering into the sky.

That clock tower is also the tallest landmark building in the entire city.

The pedestrians on the street, regardless of gender, age or status, were all wearing quite ordinary clothes, but these clothes were all printed with the symbol of the cross.

In addition, they also wear cross-shaped ornaments.

Some are key chains, some are necklaces, earrings, and some even have huge cross symbols printed on briefcases.

The moment he saw these crosses, Tianchuan Liang became alert.

Just at this time.

A very cute girl walked up to Tianchuan Liang and pulled her mother's sleeve.

"Mom... look at this big brother and sister."

"They don't have the cross of the Lord on them!"

Then...the street that was bustling just now suddenly became quiet.

All the passers-by stopped and turned their heads in unison to look at Ryo Amakawa and Ryoko Yamazaki.

Tianchuan Liang: "?!!!"

In an instant, Tianchuan Liang reacted.

The entire city, and everyone in it, has probably been transformed by the Church of the Sin.

They are not only believers of the Church of Thorns, but also spies and weapons in their hands.

The moment Tianchuanliang stepped into Changjin City, the dispute had already begun.

Haha...is this the home field advantage?

"Ms. Sachiko, Nanako."

"Hide us."

In the blink of an eye, the entire street was filled with a thick fog.

Afterwards, Ryo Amagawa and Ryoko Yamazaki disappeared without a trace.

The girl and her mother stared blankly at the empty street, somewhat confused.

"Eh?"

"Where are the big brother and big sister from before?"

With the disappearance of Ryo Amakawa and Ryoko Yamazaki, the tense atmosphere on the street instantly dissipated.

People continued to go about their business, and the woman took her daughter's hand.

"My dear daughter, today is Sunday."

"We should go to church."

"Yeah~" The little girl nodded vigorously and walked towards the Church of Thorns under the guidance of her mother.

And in the thick fog.

Through Miss Sachiko's eyes, Ryo Amakawa saw everything outside.

"That's really cruel."

"Convert all the people in the city into your believers."

"Master, what should we do?" Yamazaki Ryoko came close to Amakawa Ryo, hugged his arm and asked softly.

Tianchuan Liang stretched lazily.

"The old way."

“We’ll find an anchor point to take root, and then the two of us will replace them and settle down in this copy.”

"Desire Bus!"

Ryo Amagawa shouted loudly, and Desire Bus responded softly.

"What are your orders?"

"What is the goal of this copy?"

"Hehe... You should know the objective of the copy."

What should I know?

Suddenly, Tianchuan Liang had a bad premonition.

The answer from Desire Bus later confirmed Ryo Amakawa’s idea.

"For the other Guardians, killing you is the purpose of this dungeon."

"And for you, killing other [Guardians], or holding out until the time is up in the dungeon, is the content of the strategy."

what...

It’s really concise and clear.

Either kill the other [guards] or hold out until the specified time.

"Then let me ask another question."

"How many [Guardians] are participating in this instance?"

"Hehe... I'm very sorry." Desire Bus replied: "You are already in the dungeon, so I can't report the exact number of participants."

The answer from Desire Bus was also within Ryo Amakawa's expectations.

After thinking for a while, Tianchuan Liang spoke again.

"So... here comes the question."

“Is this your own will?”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Tianchuan." Desire Bus still replied in a calm voice: "I can't give you an answer to this question."

"The only thing I can say is that on the first day you enter the dungeon, you are in the protection stage."

"Other [Defenders] cannot attack you, and you can freely choose the identity in the copy."

"Once the protection period is over, the remaining [Defenders] will be able to attack you."

Although the Desire Bus did not directly answer Tianchuan Liang's question, he still got the answer he wanted.

For the Desire Bus, it is true that she is her master, but the logic of her behavior also follows certain rules.

Just like any other urban legend.

Or perhaps, some kind of existence at a higher dimension.

However, these are not issues he should be concerned about.

Now he was in a completely unfamiliar environment, and the entire city was filled with spies and believers of the Church of the Sin.

In addition, Tianchuan Liang did not know how many [Guardians] participated in this dispute.

What's even more difficult is that Tianchuan Liang doesn't know who those [Guards] are.

If you attack rashly, you might reveal your weakness and be ambushed by other defenders.

Everything is unknown, but only the risks are known.

Haha...it’s really an interesting copy.

All along, Tianchuan Liang has been traveling through the dungeon as a hunter.

Now, Ryo Amagawa has become the hunted.

I can only say... after the identity change, it feels different.

"Then, let's get started."

----

Today's Mass was the same as usual.

Takizawa Shun was wearing a white robe and standing at the front of the Thorn Sin Church.

Behind him is a huge statue of the Crucifixion of Christ.

At the back, there is a stained glass window depicting Our Lady of Mercy.

"Lord, we will be your most devout believers!"

"Today, we also want to confess to you...the original sin in our hearts!"

Below, countless men and women were crawling and kneeling in front of him.

And Takizawa Shun enjoyed this process.

This feeling of being worshipped, this feeling of being above all living beings, made him extremely excited.

"Hehe... no matter how many times..."

"This feeling makes people unable to stop."

Soon, the Mass was over.

Then a young mother came up.

She first kissed Takizawa Shun's hand, then lowered her head humbly.

“Lord…I was on the street today and it seemed I found a believer who had not been preached to.”

"Um...can you leave this sermon to me?"

Ok?

Believers without sermons?

Takizawa Shun smiled faintly, thinking that the entire Changjin City was already his territory.

All residents, regardless of gender, age or status, are affected by the Church of Thorns, with no exceptions.

Every resident who comes and goes will receive a souvenir from the Church of Thorns when they enter the city.

Although these souvenirs cannot directly affect their consciousness, they can make them feel the existence of the Church of Thorns.
