Chapter 379: Waiting for the Answer
Wee-Woo! Wee-Woo!
The policemen of the Federal Empire were indeed the most efficient policemen in the world.
In less than ten minutes, two police cars with blaring sirens arrived at Ling Pingan’s premise.
A police officer, along with two policemen greeted Ling Pingan.
The police officer looked familiar.
Ling Pingan recognized him instantly, as he had helped the officer twice.
He walked up immediately and greeted, “Mr. Police Officer…”
“He’s in the sewer over there…”
“Please hurry and get him up…”
“In this cold weather, what if…?”
Ling Pingan was an empathetic gentleman.
The police officer was very understanding. He nodded and said, “Young master, you should go and take a rest…”
“Leave it to us…”
He walked to the manhole and looked at the person in the sewer with a flashlight.
He could recognize that the person was an a.s.sa.s.sin on the wanted list.
He turned his head and said with a smile, “We may need some professional tools to bring him out!”
That was a colonel-level a.s.sa.s.sin.
Although it looked like he had really gone crazy, they had to be on guard.
Ling Pingan nodded and said, “I’ll leave it to you, officer!”
Having said that, he walked back to the bookstore. However, he did not close the door, instead, he settled on a small stool and watched from the door.
He wanted to see how that poor foreigner would be saved.
It was typical of the people from the empire to watch and observe.
The police were indeed professional.
They summoned a rescue team promptly who made their way down the sewer to rescue the person.
Unfortunately, the foreigner seemed to have lost his mind.
He was struggling and cursing the ‘devil’.
Ling Pingan shook his head and sighed, “Poor guy…”
“His family will be so sad to know this has happened to him.”
“Thank you very much!” The police officer approached Ling Pingan, who was still at the door, and saluted, “Mr. Ling, you’ve helped us for the third time…”
Ling Pingan laughed, “I am just doing what I should.”
The police officer nodded and said, “You’re right!”
He saluted again solemnly and left with his men.
Wee-Woo! Wee-Woo!
There went the siren of the police car again.
Ling Pingan then pulled down the shutter door.
He turned off the light and said to his pet, “Time to sleep!”
Every autumn and winter, he would feel sleepy.
He yawned as he walked upstairs.
The stairs creaked, it was a strange and terrifying sound.
The kitten Bastet was lying on a towel. In the cat’s amber colored eyes, there was reflection of lights from countless evil eyes in the darkness.
These evil eyes trembled in fear.
They were like thieves caught in the act.
Crackle, crackle…
Countless electric currents whipped their bodies.
Terrifying screams and struggles continued in the bookstore.
This was merely punishment.
If there was a next time…
These b*stards would probably vanish from this world.
Bastet slowly closed her eyes. She knew that these B*stards were asking for it.
They were secretly eating in the underground sewer with the help of the unknown fog’s domain.
The master’s excrement and living waste water were irresistible temptations to many things in the universe.
Therefore, they had been waiting there
for those things to come to their door to feast on them.
However, this created a security loophole.
It meant that someone could easily enter the master’s world through the sewers without permission or obstacle.
Although this was nothing extraordinary, it was punishable by death!
… … …
Song Shihui stood in front of the gla.s.s window.
He looked towards the spot where the Qin a.s.sa.s.sin was tied up and bound by all kinds of magical artifacts.
He was a high-level priest from the Church of bones.
Speaking of which, this was the first time in a hundred years that the Federal Empire had captured such a high-level expert from the Church of bones alive.
Therefore, Song Shihui was in high spirits.
He looked at the a.s.sa.s.sin who had lost his mind.
“Can we find out why he went crazy?” Song Shihui asked.
A staff member in a white coat shook his head, “I don’t know…”
“We’ve done an MRI, and an EEG test…”
“Check the blood test…”
“Everything is normal…”
“It’s just…”
“He’s crazy!”
“And…” the staff member continued, “He can’t seem to hear for unknown reasons…”
“But his eardrums and auditory nerves are normal!”
Song Shihui listened and nodded.
That tactics from the person were really as mysterious as his personality.
Only he could easily cause others to lose hearing and make him a lunatic.
“General…” Xia Ping reported softly, “We found many fragments on the a.s.sa.s.sin’s body and in the surrounding sewage…”
“After testing, we deduced that he might be carrying the Lance of Longinus…”
“That Holy Lance?” Song Shihui asked.
The Federal Empire had fought with the Church of bones and the Holy See before.
During the Battle of the new Qinling Mountains, the zealous Holy Knights, under the lead of the red-robed bishop, charged towards the empire’s position time and again.
Then…
The blessed cultivators of the Dragon Tiger Mountain, the true Daoist cultivators of Quan Zhen sect, Mao Mountain, Kongdong sect, and other sects all left the mountain.
During the war, the Lance of Longinus had also appeared.
But…
The red-robed bishop who held it unfortunately met the direct disciple of the Celestial Master who held the ‘Yangping Capital Merit Seal’…
Under the seal, the Holy Spear was defeated.
The spear became the spoils of war and was later returned to the land of Qin after the truce.
They met again today, but unexpectedly, the spear had been broken into pieces.
Looking at the pieces, Song Shihui asked, “Can it be repaired?”
Xia Ping shook his head. “It’s impossible to repair…”
“It’s been destroyed completely!”
“There’s a terrifying power that wiped out the spirituality of the spear and shattered the mark on it…”
“Unless the lord of the land of Qin awakens and remakes it…”
“Otherwise, it’s impossible to have it repaired!”
“That Lord?” Song Shihui laughed.
The Blackguard was constantly paying attention to the transcendent being.
Song Shihui naturally knew that the Lord had not even answered his prayers, as if he had cut off the connection with his believers.
It was as though he had abandoned this planet and did not care about this place anymore.
There was a speculation in the Blackguard.
That ‘lord’ seemed to have a mysophobia.
However, the people who believed in the land of Qin did not seem to meet his expectations at all..
Logically speaking, if he woke up, the people who still believed in the land of Qin would probably be the most afraid.
On the land of Qin..
Sodom was everywhere now..
And now there was no Abraham!
Putting this matter aside, Song Shihui said, “Inform the Ministry of Foreign Affairs…”
The corners of his mouth curved slightly. “Ask the Church of bones to come and redeem the people and collect the goods!”
Xia Ping raised his head and asked, “General… you…”
Song Shihui smiled and said, “Don’t worry, just do it!”
“The Commander-in-chief has already approved it!”
For the Federal Empire, the best land of Qin was the current land of Qin.
It was a pile of loose sand, and each party was in charge of their own affairs.
Therefore, the Federal Empire would be careful of their own limits.
Moreover…
A crazy high-level priest and a broken holy spear..
If these two things were sent back…
The King of Angels would have to consider and weigh the pros and cons.
This was the beauty of bluffing!
… … …
Of course, the Federal Empire was extremely efficient.
An hour later, the Commissioner of the Empire’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a diplomatic telegram through a middleman to the cardinal of the Church of bones.
The white-haired cardinal was silent for a long time after reading the telegram.
Finally, he said shakily, “I know!”
He did not thank, apologize, or agree. He turned around and left with the holy staff.
The old cardinal returned to the church shakily.
He knelt before the holy cross piously.
“Great Messenger…”
“Poor Andrew, he failed to receive the Lord’s favor…”
Holy Light Rose, and in the light and shadow, the Holy Archangel slowly appeared.
His wings gently stroked the old bishop.
“No…”
The Angel’s holy words echoed in the old bishop’s heart.
“Andrew has made the choice he was destined to make…”
“He will bring the answer!”
The old bishop raised his head.
“The answer the Lord has been waiting for!” The angel gradually curled his wings and fell asleep again.
The old bishop murmured, “The answer that the Lord has been waiting for?”
“Why is the answer in the East?”
In the next second, the old bishop began to repent sincerely.
He should not have doubted the omniscient and omnipotent father and the Lord.
… ..
When he woke up, it was already ten o’clock.
Ling Pingan picked up his phone and looked at it. He hurriedly put on his clothes.
“Winter has come…” he muttered, “Winter fatigue is acting up…”
Every winter, he would fall asleep.
Moreover, the temperature would drop as it went deeper into winter.
He would sleep more and more.
Just like a bear.
The colder the weather, the more often he would be in a sleepy state.
Just like in December last year, he slept half the time, dozed off half the time, and played games the rest of the time.
This year, it seemed that his winter fatigue was brought forward.
He put on his clothes and washed up briefly. Just as he was about to walk down the stairs, he received a message on his phone.
He picked it up and took a look. “It’s from Qianye Jam?”
He swiped the screen to take a look and laughed and he replied, “Qianye Jam, I’m ready!”
Fu Sang once again sent him an invitation for a taste test.
He naturally wouldn’t refuse!
“Thousand night sauce, you really have good taste!” He nodded and walked down the stairs in his slippers.
“With a gourmet like me to guide her… Her journey as a chef will surely be smooth-sailing!”
Speaking of this, the young gourmet was delighted.
Meow!
As usual, his pet greeted him at the stairs.
Ling Pingan smiled and went forward. He squatted down and picked up the little guy. “Little Boy, the thousand night sauce is coming to deliver food again today…”
“Let’s try it together!”
Meow!
The little cat meowed softly as though it was looking forward to it too!
