Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 183 Praise for the Sun King

Each consortium has its own means of maintaining stability, and the object of their stability maintenance is not a certain planet, but the entire vast universe.

The Granite Group advocates rule by force, while the Mandala Group advocates stability through money.

Everyone's good friend Xifeng was employed by the Mandala Group. He had little memory of other groups. Duan Mingyuan, in his curiosity, asked, "What about other groups?"

"You'll see soon enough."

Fuling smiled slightly and deliberately kept the secret, "The inspector's flagship has already warped to this galaxy, and the changes should begin soon."

"Riddler is not allowed to eat chicken on a stick!"

This immediately caused dissatisfaction in September, who was listening with great interest. She usually didn't like the Riddler when she read novels, and she wanted to curse the Riddler to never have chicken to eat for the rest of his life.

"Alas, it's getting late, and I promised Mr. Kuroba that I would take him to the fish spring bath."

Fuling was like a tourist who had just arrived in the court. She had developed a series of check-in procedures, and her initial communication with Duan Mingyuan met her expectations. This way, she could relax and enjoy her trip.

After all, the inspector this time is not a member of the Mandala Group. She is only here to assist in the negotiations and not to take over the main event.

After bidding farewell to Fuling, Duan Mingyuan and Jiu Yue returned to the royal city.

"Mr. Mingyuan, do you feel that things are getting a little weird here?"

Jiu Yue sniffed hard as she walked. The sensitivity of canine sense of smell far exceeded that of other species. She hoped to identify the source of the abnormality in the royal city.

But when she looked closely, she felt that this place was no different from before they left.

Is it a psychological effect?
Fuling said that changes were about to begin, which was why she found everything suspicious?

"It's a little weird indeed."

Duan Mingyuan stopped and looked around, but just like September, the changes Fuling mentioned were very subtle. When he looked closely, he felt that the royal city was no different from usual.

After about a few minutes, he finally caught a glimpse of clues from the faces of the guards and servants passing by. Compared with a few days ago, their expressions had subtly changed. They were no longer confused and became determined. Although they were still doing the same thing, they had changed from the inside out.

The previous hesitation came from confusion about the future.

For people who have been ruled by powerful forces for a long time, the defeat of the Qinghua and Universe Relations Coordination Department does not make them feel ecstatic, let alone a sense of liberation.

They were used to listening to God's will, the instructions given by the messengers from "God" and the guidance for them on the way forward. But now, no one could dispel the darkness before their eyes.

From a scientific point of view, Duan Mingyuan felt that this was a very serious case of Stockholm syndrome, and it would take a long time to cure this symptom. Even if they signed a non-interference treaty with the company and became the seventeenth planet, the people of Blue Star had to learn about freedom from scratch.

But this is not a problem that Duan Mingyuan needs to consider.

"Mr. Mingyuan, look!"

September pointed into the distance, and after some investigation, she finally made an unusual discovery.

Walking down the steps of the main hall was a nun wearing a black uniform, holding up the hem of her uniform with both hands. She was wearing a black veil, and the emblem hanging on her chest was not a common cross, but a disc-shaped emblem that resembled the sun. The nun's uniform was inlaid with gold edges, and there was the same pattern on the lower part of her chest.

Caidie, who was in a hurry, didn't notice them. After trotting down the stairs, she ran towards the auditorium in her black canvas shoes.

"Isn't that unusual?"

Jiu Yue entered the mode of a famous detective. He opened the music player app on his phone and chose a classic reasoning BGM to increase his persuasiveness.

However, Duan Mingyuan thought that Caidie's outfit was very normal. The Third Prince had a wide range of interests, and as long as he made a request, even if Caidie was reluctant, she would eventually compromise. Besides, nun's clothes were not something that was too shameful to wear outside.

He still felt that these people passing by who seemed to have suddenly found their life creed were rather suspicious.

"Come on, let's follow and take a look."

"That's not good, what if they were just flirting?"

"Then let's not let them find out and just watch from the sidelines!"

Hearing the word "flirting", Jiu Yue became even more excited. She made sure her phone had enough battery to take a long photo shoot.

Considering that the third prince is still at the level of a "junior high school student", she is always prepared and can provide guidance to the two of them as a senior when necessary.

She knows a lot, and it is no exaggeration to describe her as experienced.

Duan Mingyuan felt that this little fox might need some moral training.

But considering September's identity as a famous detective, he still followed.

Surprisingly, the auditorium was already full of people, and there were no scenes that the children could not handle.

The gathering included both men and women, all dressed in clergy attire. Caidie put on a black veil to conceal her face and blended into the group of nuns.

Jiu Yue recognized the person on the stage at a glance.

"Second Prince, he's up to something again!"

It was obvious that the clergy in the auditorium were gathered by him.

With Qinghua's defeat, the second prince never recovered. He locked himself in his room all day, drinking every day and giving up on himself.

But this is understandable. Not only did he lose the throne that he had obtained, but the creed that the Second Prince had firmly believed in for more than ten years also collapsed.

But no one expected that within just a few days, the Second Prince would come out of his depression and gather so many people.

This looked like a religious ceremony, and what was being worshipped was the disc-shaped sun mark.

Duan Mingyuan suddenly remembered a sentence he had seen from somewhere: the way to save a person who has lost all hope is to give him new faith.

Is this the change that Fuling mentioned?
Accompanied by religious music full of sacredness, soft singing filled the church.

That was a language Duan Mingyuan had never heard before.

As the chanting continued, the surrounding scene suddenly changed. Unconsciously, the auditorium disappeared and all objects within sight were disintegrated by the singing. However, the people who were singing the hymns seemed unaware of the changes in the surrounding scene. They still clasped their hands in front of their chests and chanted devoutly.

They stand between the universe and the stars.

The disc-shaped sun ornament turned into the sun among the stars, dispelling the darkness for them and pointing the way forward.

At the same time, an invitation was also extended to Duan Mingyuan.

Those unknown languages ​​were no longer obscure and difficult to understand, and gradually, he understood their meaning.

——Praise the Sun King.
