CHAPTER 715: CHAPTER 199 BISHOP (VOTE FOR MONTHLY TICKET)

Bai Sanxiang?

This person is...

In the public restroom stall outside the Judgement Department, Xu Shu, who had just relieved himself, blinked slightly in confusion. After a moment of thought, he remembered the name.

That morning, shortly after leaving the Heroic Society, Bishop Yu Mingluan had mentioned that someone would be dispatched at six in the evening to purge the remnants within the relics of the Heroic Society.

The information was highly confidential. Besides the Archbishop himself and Xu Shu, only one other person knew—Bai Sanxiang, the highest commander of the local Judgement Department.

It seemed like a long time ago now, but with a brief moment of reflection, it felt like just yesterday.

No, not like yesterday.

It was yesterday.

During the day, he first attended a session of "Legend," and in the evening, there were many events.

First, in the inn, he leveled up and was mistakenly attacked by his subordinates, Tang Ying and Song Yuchun, then he encountered a deliberate setup aimed to kill Song Yuchun by the elder of the Song Family, Song Nanshou.

After perilously killing Song Nanshou, he immediately chased after "Impermanence" and encountered members of the White Emperor Army and Star Group lurking here and colluding with Esoteric Buddhism, forcing some information from them.

On the following day, today, he helped Gu Pan and others get out of a tight spot and had just killed a Divine Chosen in the ruins.

So much had happened in just two short days, causing Xu Shu to feel a sense of haziness as if these events were from another lifetime, making the name Bai Sanxiang feel somewhat unfamiliar and taking him a while to recall.

"Right, according to my identity as a High-level Prosecutor arranged by the Archbishop, Bai Sanxiang is also currently my direct superior."

"Why would he be the one to inform me?"

"What about the Archbishop?"

"Why would Bai Sanxiang arrange to meet not at the Judgement Department, but at the Dawn Church?"

Xu Shu instinctively felt that something was amiss.

Fortunately, the Dawn Church was not far from here.

The location of the Judgement Department was to the north of the Astronomy Association.

And the Dawn Church was naturally to the east, at the farthest eastern side of the open square, greeting the sunrise every morning, a magnificent building resembling a medieval palace.

Xu Shu took more than ten minutes to cross the square slowly.

The square was crowded and bustling; some groups were engaged in partner friction dances, others were sitting on the ground listening to volunteer priests preaching, and there were also solo guitar singers performing attracting crowds of spectators—all sorts in abundance.

At this moment, just after dinner, it was the most pleasant evening time, and the residents in the safe zone were full of passion and hope for life.

Xu Shu walked through the crowd expressionlessly, catching some of the human warmth, and quietly climbed the steps to the main entrance of the grand hall of the Dawn Church.

Several priests were warmly seeing off a middle-aged couple who had just confessed, chatting merrily, almost like siblings.

When the couple left, they didn’t forget to generously drop a considerable sum of money into the ’donation box’ engraved with the church’s holy emblem—those who came to the church in the evening were profoundly devout believers.

Seeing Xu Shu standing not far away, one of the priests casually walked over, looked at Xu Shu, and suddenly exclaimed, "My child, you look very familiar! I often see you around here, but you’ve never come close; today, you finally approach God’s dwelling on your own, surely attracted by the radiance of the Lord! May I take a few minutes of your time to introduce to you an existence as great as the sun, the original creator?"

Ah...this guy is not just a mere priest of the Dawn Church, he is also a member of the Holy Hall...

I’m sorry to say, Father, but your exaggerated manner reminds me of the cultist I killed last night, really...

Xu Shu quickly recognized this and his mouth twitched slightly, almost imperceptibly.

As someone who lived on the outer edges and an ordinary commoner, he had never visited this largest local Dawn Church from childhood till now.

There was a smaller church on his way to school, which he had also never entered, so it was impossible for this priest to find him familiar.

Out of politeness, Xu Shu did not expose the priest’s poor ploy to get closer and instead carefully replied, "Hello, I’m not here for religious beliefs; I’m here to find someone."

"God is everywhere; as long as you are willing to approach, the Lord’s radiance will descend upon you, whether you believe or not. I, too, once wandered aimlessly, disbelieving in the Lord’s existence, and fell into darkness until the Lord personally enlightened me and let me witness true miracles! The Lord will guide you too, only you haven’t really felt it yet." The priest’s smile remained unchanged as he spontaneously fabricated a personal story.

After a lengthy discourse resembling muscle memory, the priest kindly asked, "Whom are you looking for?"

Xu Shu initially wanted to say he was looking for Bai Sanxiang, but considering the situation, he changed his mind and said, "I’m looking for Bishop Yu Mingluan."

The priest’s expression visibly froze, then he awkwardly stated, "I guess the person you’re looking for is Bishop Tyson."

"Tyson? I’m looking for Yu Mingluan."

"Understood, come with me, I’ll take you to Bishop Tyson! By the way, you’re Xu Shu, right?"

Xu Shu was slightly surprised; this person clearly didn’t know him yet could call out his name.

"Yes," he answered without denial.

"Then please follow me."

The priest shook his head while muttering something under his breath, then quickened his pace, leading Xu Shu through the grand and sacred main hall, turning into three small doors, and came before a sleeping blonde elder.
