CHAPTER 151: CHAPTER 97: TEMPLE WITHOUT A GOD

Responding to YY’s reminder for an update, two Chapters combine into one, presenting a large Chapter of 5900 characters.

"Oh, you strangers also believe in God?" Apoli, while treating people, had also asked some of the injured about their beliefs, all of whom mentioned names Apoli did not recognize.

Number 0 placed his palms together and performed a ritual that seemed strange to Yijie.

Upon seeing this, Apoli’s guard against the stranger immediately dropped, "Someone come, bring our devout believer a bottle of God Revitalizing Pill." It was the new maid who approached. She walked up to Number 0 with her head bowed and handed over a bottle of pills.

Apoli then waved her hand, and the new maid glanced at Number 0 before bowing her head and leaving.

The first reward had been ten thousand Military Road Coins, but the second time it was only a single pill. The Goddess really played by no rules. What she just mentioned seemed to suggest that Number 0 and she belonged to the same faith. It was unclear what religion she worshiped and how Number 0 would share the same faith as a character in this game.

In Hua Country, military personnel follow a doctrine of non-belief. As for soldiers from other countries, their beliefs vary widely. According to historical reasoning, during the Ancient Babylon period, major religious beliefs had not yet truly spread or taken root; it was a period of religious chaos, or rather, a "godless" time.

"Now that we’re both believers, I feel more compelled to express my concerns," Apoli leaned back in the recliner, her gaze still on Yijie but she soon averted her eyes.

"I hope we can alleviate your and God’s concerns," Number 0 did not know that Apoli, who had long resided in the temple and utilized brutal means even against her own sister, worshiped which god. After leaving, she would need to ask Ziyu what god is worshiped in each of the major temples in Babylon.

"This matter, though shocking to hear, concerns our temple. Recently, a traitor emerged who hid a document sealed by God and then fled. The document contains the language of demons, and if spread, it would bring plagues and endless disasters to the world," Apoli said with a furrowed brow, the darkness in her eyes dense and difficult to dispel.

Yijie raised an eyebrow. Apoli’s words, just like her persona, were filled with malevolence. He vaguely felt that Apoli and Ziyu had many connections. If Ziyu was the traitor, then the demonic document should be with her. However, he had noticed earlier that Ziyu did not have any documents on her.

"I will definitely find that document," Number 0 promised like a knight sworn to loyalty, and again performed the ritualized gesture.

"You can stay in the temple for the next few days, the document should still be hidden here," Apoli said with a smile. As a Goddess, she should not engage in acts of killing, so after plotting against Zi, she did not kill her but instead "sold" her dear sister to the Dark Night Market, letting wandering merchants find a buyer. However, before sending Ziyu away, Apoli had searched her thoroughly and found no trace of the Hammurabi Code.

Apoli then ordered someone to lead them down. The temple was intricate with many paths, so Number 0 specifically asked the maid to arrange for them to stay nearby, fearing that Yijie might get lost later.

After returning to their quarters, the first thing Number 0 opened was the bottle of pills. The pale purple pills, "God Revitalizing Pills, are a new stimulating medicine developed by the temple, which can increase your spiritual power six times upon consumption, each time by 10%, with ingredients including: Mint Leaf, laurel, and Bing Pian."

These were not detected through Loli Reconnaissance Skill by Number 0, her limited skill only revealed the name and the effects of the "God Revitalizing Pills;" the ingredients were stuffed in the bottle. It must have been the new maid who recognized her and deliberately put them in.

"Knowing the ingredients, I will have a chance to formulate it later," Number 0 set aside the pills.

Yijie entered from outside, having removed his robe and changed back into his Military Uniform. Yijie, dressed in a robe, indeed looked presentable, otherwise, he wouldn’t have enticed Ziyu to make advances.

"That woman is not right; we should leave immediately," Yijie noticed that when the maid left, she smiled at him. These days, women are more dreadful than men.
