That cool guy even bent down to open the manhole cover for you.
Spare pinched his nose, looked into the dark cave entrance, and leaped into the air, his body plummeting like an elevator.
Pfft!
"Oh my god! What's that sticky stuff in the field? Ah! My pants that I've worn for over ten years!"
From the bottom of the well came Spah's mournful howl.
……
at the same time……
The fat governor was bowing his head on the shore, picking up a quill pen, and tracing the tip of his nose across the yellowed straw paper, leaving tadpole-like black characters.
The room was dimly lit, except for the desk lamp in front of him, which emitted a warm yellow light. Deep red carpeting the floor was trimmed with gold edges adorned with floral patterns.
Wow!
Black butterflies flew out of the room, coalesced, and transformed into a man in black robes, who respectfully bowed to the governor.
"Report..."
The man moved his lips. But the governor looked up, glared at him, and the man in black immediately swallowed his words.
He knew the governor disliked being interrupted... and that disobeying him would lead to dire consequences.
The room fell silent, save for the swishing of the pen across the scrap paper.
"Speak quickly if you have something to say!"
The governor continued writing with his head down, not glancing at the man in black.
"Reporting...reporting to the leader..."
The man in black swallowed hard, his throat tightening. He glanced at the governor, and seeing that the governor made no move, he exhaled and said:
"My subordinates discovered traces of the Cloud Riders... Also, the man in the suit who accompanied the Robin is also investigating our Holy Church."
"Oh."
The governor nodded and continued writing and drawing.
"Your Excellency! The Holy Church is the culmination of your life's work. If it comes under the watchful eye of the Immortal Ship, and they send out their messengers..."
Snapped!
Before the man in black could finish speaking, his body turned into a bloody mist.
The blood transformed into red butterflies, fluttering and seeping into the governor's body. The governor raised his head, took a deep breath, and an unnatural crimson flush appeared on his cheeks.
"Blood! So comfortable...so much fun!"
He rubbed his face, left the desk, and, cradling his large belly, walked step by step to a dressing mirror.
"I've been operating here for so long just to kill a few envoys. Even if I can't kill them, there are many things they can't stop!"
The governor muttered to himself, then turned around, his face directly facing the dressing mirror.
Strangely, what appeared in the mirror was not his fat face, but a snow-white mask.
A fool's mask etched with tears and smiles!
Chapter 150 Su Chang Opens a Tea Party
The sun sets, and night deepens.
The surroundings were quiet and windless. Spa and his two companions stood on the rooftop with their backs to the moonlight, facing a three-story church.
The church was not ornate; it was hidden in a slum, and even on a poor planet like Nalando, it was considered dilapidated.
The paint on the walls has peeled off and turned gray, and the once brightly colored stained glass windows have developed spiderweb-like cracks due to wind and sun exposure.
No normal person would ever imagine... that the Holy Church headquarters would be in a slum, right?
Spall thought to himself, and extinguished the cigarette in his mouth.
He shifted his gaze to Moze, where the assassin was holding a jade tablet and gently wiping it with a rag in his left hand.
"Then... Su Chang and I will go into the church. We will contact you as soon as we discover the Abundant Creature."
Spall said softly, and changed into a black robe.
"Yes. I will also contact the general using the Jade Sign as soon as possible."
Moze nodded, stopped wiping, and gently blew a breath onto the jade tablet in his hand.
Dust billowed and flew into the air.
Spa dodged the dust, turned around, walked to the edge of the roof, looked down at the church that looked like a sleeping lion, and was about to jump down.
But the next second, Spah stopped in his tracks.
"Oh, just in case..."
Spa turned his head and looked at Moze again: "If Su Chang and I hadn't come out, what would you have done?"
"I will still use the jade oath to inform the general."
"Mo Ze said coldly. He gripped the jade tablet tightly in his palm, pulling out beads of sweat that soaked the surface of the tablet.
Spah nodded, said nothing more, and simply bent down, leaving behind a bag of jelly.
He waved his hand, beckoning Su Chang over. The two of them leaped into the air and disappeared from Mo Ze's sight in an instant.
Mo Ze remained unmoved, continuing to wipe the jade tablet in his hand.
It wasn't until a minute later that he stopped what he was doing, stretched his neck, and looked around.
There was no one around, only the moon casting its silvery light onto the eaves, reflecting a snow-like color.
Very good... Spa and Su Chang left.
Makze thought to himself, then moved his feet and walked towards the jelly bag like a puppet. He looked around again before picking it up.
……
Meanwhile, Spa and Susang had already entered the church.
Similar to the outside, the interior of the church remained dilapidated, with peeling white paint on the walls and stained stained windows tinged with a hazy gray.
Fortunately, the ground was relatively clean. The men in black robes walked back and forth in groups, their feet clattering as they stepped on the wooden floor.
With so many people... it won't be easy to infiltrate.
If our scheme is discovered, things will get bad... We need to be careful and avoid contact with others!
Spah rolled his eyes and glanced at the empty corridor.
He had just taken a step when he saw Su Chang dart out like a rabbit, run two or three steps, and approach a man in black robes.
Spah couldn't understand it.
What kind of trouble is this little girl trying to cause?
Just as she was wondering what was going on, Su Chang swung her arm and slapped the man in black.
Snapped!
A crisp sound came from the black-robed man's shoulder.
"Hey! Aunt Susan! Did you get your vegetables today?"
"Huh? You said there's meat too? That's great!"
"What? Your child has been chosen by the Knights? That's great... Should I send something as a congratulatory gift?"
"Okay! I don't have any plans to get married yet..."
Su Chang actually started chatting with the man in black robes.
In an instant, more and more believers gathered around.
Su Chang stood in the center of the group, chattering away, her lips moving constantly, which made everyone burst into laughter.
"..."
Spall was at a loss for words.
I have to admit... extroverts are just different.
He scratched his head, looked around, and found that the aisle next to him was empty and not many people were walking around.
While the white dress distracted the worshippers... I'll sneak into the depths of the church to find the bountiful creation.
Spah rolled his eyes and took a step.
But before he could move, he suddenly saw people part, and Su Chang waved her arms and ran over like a puppy.
"Let me introduce you! This is Xiao Si. He's been a member of the church for a while, but he's never been able to find anyone to chat with."
Without a word, the girl grabbed Spah's shoulder and pulled him into the crowd. In the blink of an eye, Spah was surrounded by a man in a black robe.
Wow! What a handsome young man, how come he can't find anyone to chat with?
"Are you shy? We're all family, don't worry about it."
"Child, how old are you? Are you married?"
"What do you do for a living? Have you joined the Knights?"
"..."
The aunties and grandmas surrounded Spa, chattering away, making his head spin.
Fortunately, although Spah is introverted, he has, after all, been a senior executive in a company and has rich social experience.
He maintained his guest-like demeanor, a smile playing on his lips, and responded to the aunties and grandmas one by one in an orderly manner.
The older women chuckled, without suspecting anything.
Kospar, however, grew increasingly doubtful, pondering to himself:
Weren't we here to go stealthily? How did it turn into a tea party? These people... don't seem to have any intelligence.
Could it be that……
Spah pondered for a moment, and although he was initially puzzled, he soon understood Su Chang's intention.
Before long, the aunts finished chatting and dispersed, but Su Chang leaned close to Spa and whispered in his ear:
“The church is a close-knit community… If a stranger like you wanders around here, it’s easy to arouse suspicion. Besides, abundant creation is hard to find.”
"understand."
Spah nodded.
Although he didn't like this style of doing things, upon further reflection, he realized that it was indeed much safer than simply infiltrating.
Although... it makes no difference to me.
However, it's better to be cautious in the Fool's territory.
Thinking this, Spah followed closely behind Su Chang, raising the corners of his lips and waving to everyone he met.
Before long, the two walked into the depths of the church, where the surrounding people gradually thinned out and the noise subsided.
The church grew increasingly dark, with figures in black robes coming and going, but no one spoke; only the trembling sound of footsteps could be heard.
Upon arriving here, even someone as cheerful as Su Chang dared not act rashly, suppressing their smiles and groping their way inside.
Spada, on the other hand, still had a smile on his lips, looking around as if he were sightseeing. He knew that the more natural he appeared, the less aroused suspicion he would be.
Su Chang was surprised to see Spa's calm demeanor and secretly admired his courage.
No wonder the general values him so highly!
Su Chang thought to herself, then leaned closer to Spa and whispered:
“I’ve rarely been to this area… I’ve searched everywhere else, but I haven’t found any Abundant Creations. This is all that’s left…”
As she spoke, the girl rolled her eyes, glancing around erratically, like a mouse stealing butter.
"I know. But try to act normal."
Spa patted Su Chang on the back and pointed around: "Don't let those cultists see through our disguise."
After saying that, Spall walked inside on his own.
