You've become the warden, and you're telling me I'm an undercover agent?

Chapter 253 "Anyone who believes in me will be free from disaster!"

On the rooftop, only half of Dou Xuyao's body was left.

Chi Ping's punch shattered everything below his waist and abdomen, and he also punched him in the head to prevent him from resurrecting.

At the same time, Chi Ping called Le Bai, but the latter seemed very busy and took dozens of seconds to answer the phone.

"I'm telling you, I'm very busy!"

After the call was connected, Le Bai said, "At this time, she should be busy in the mutual aid group for those with suicidal tendencies."

"Come here." Chi Ping looked at the corpse on the ground. Le Bai was an indispensable part of his subsequent plan.

"OK then."

------

Yuan Qi, holding Long Huiwu and his son, ran to the back, but did not go this way. Instead, he climbed through a window and landed only after confirming that there was no one outside.

At this moment, Long Huiwu and his son behind him had disappeared, but he was completely unaware.

It was October now, and tea trees usually sprout new buds in February, March, and April. At this time, the tea garden was quite empty, with waist-high tea trees lush and green, their rows neatly arranged like green steps, dotted the hillside.

The tea forest is not a good place to hide. As long as someone is looking from a high place, they can be easily discovered.

At the foot of the tea mountain, there is a large building that is a tea factory. All the tea leaves in the vicinity are dried and withered here, and finally pressed into cakes and stacked in a ventilated warehouse.

The tea factory is extremely large, especially the warehouse, and it is generally not easy to be discovered when walking through there.

More importantly, there is a drainage canal in the small building on the mountain connecting to the tea factory.

Without having time to think, Yuan Qi plunged into the narrow drainage ditch.

The only good thing is that the tea factory has not been used for half a year. The drainage ditch is dry at this time, and there are spider webs in the corners.

This made Yuan Qi feel less disgusted when crawling, but he could hear noises from above his head from time to time, as people from the Super Power Bureau kept stepping on the concrete slab above his head.

Every time someone ran past, Yuan Qi would stop, hold his breath, and only dare to move after the person passed.

Dust flew through the narrow space. It was only a distance of two or three hundred meters, but Yuan Qi had already climbed for half an hour.

Sweat and dust had long since mixed together, leaving several black marks on his face. His hair was covered in white spider webs, and his once clean robe was now a mixture of gray and black.

After crawling out of the drainage ditch, he hid in the corner of the wall and went to the warehouse where tea leaves were dried. The warehouse was more than ten meters high and was filled with rows of shelves displaying finished tea leaves.

The space is large and there are many shelters, enough for him to hide.

It was not until the next day that Yuan Qi dared to leave.

Rushing towards the agreed location in the church. After the Original Church was officially designated a cult, they made many contingency plans, including one involving the siege of their base.

Besides, this was not the first time that their base was attacked.

However, Yuan Qi was still some distance from the agreed location. He had no means of transportation, and as for public transportation—it was obvious that Yuan Qi, as a high-ranking member of the Star City Original Church, was definitely wanted.

He had no choice but to walk all the way there and find something to eat along the way to fill his stomach.

But even so, his faith in the church remains firm, he is still saddened by what has happened to the church, and he still believes that the church has a bright future.

Even though he and He Zhao were fighting for power and profit, he would try every means to drive the other away.

Like Shirahoshi, he was raised by the elders. Shirahoshi was gifted, awakening his abilities early. Meanwhile, he was trained as a manager.

He is very similar to the elders in that he hopes the church will prosper, but there is a prerequisite: prosperity must come from his own hands.

It wasn't until the third day that he finally reached the western suburbs of Star City.

There is a farmhouse here, which is the hidden stronghold of the Original Church and is only used at critical moments.

At this moment, he saw a row of green ivy under the windowsill outside the farmhouse, and knew that someone had arrived early. He exchanged secret codes with the church members guarding the gate before being let in.

The believer guarding the gate led him into a warehouse - this was originally a place where hay and firewood were stored, and it was specially cleared out to accommodate the fleeing believers.

Yuan Qi was asked to sit at a table and was served food.

He thanked him and devoured his food. After he finished, someone came up to greet him. "Metropolitan Bishop?" The person's tone was filled with disbelief. They hadn't expected the Metropolitan Bishop, usually second only to the emperor, to behave like this.

Yuan Qi swallowed the food in his mouth and greeted them one by one. He then asked about the casualties of the branch. Now, everyone fell silent.

According to the information they compiled, the situation in the Star City branch was very tragic.

Dou Xuyao, an A-level fighter, was killed by the Super Power Bureau, and some people saw part of his body being thrown down from the building.

The reason why we could tell it was Dou Xuyao was because of the clothes he wore during his lifetime.

Then came the elder, who also died. However, the only consolation was that someone saw the new candidate He snatch the elder's body from the Super Power Bureau.

That day, after Chi Ping threw the body from the upstairs, Yu Mang picked it up and pretended that He Zhao had taken it away, and then asked Le Bai to keep him alive.

Luo Xinghe's direct descendant, Wan Ai, has disappeared. So far, no one has seen her body, nor has anyone come here.

As for the remaining believers, there were originally five or six hundred people in the base, but only a little over a hundred gathered here.

Of course, the Original Church has other strongholds in Star City, and there are also some believers in those places.

Yuan Qi's face looked very ugly, so gloomy that water could drip out of it.

Most importantly, his mentor, his adoptive father, his supporter, the elder, had passed away. He mechanically stuffed food into his mouth, and there were also believers who came to comfort him.

But how can I listen at this moment?
He never thought that the elder would fall, just like a person who has studied for more than ten years and is suddenly told to enter society.

At the beginning, you will feel a little confused and a little scared.

The whole person will become cautious because the confidence is gone.

I don’t know how long it took, the dishes on the table had been cleared away, but there was a noise coming from the door.

It was He Zhao who returned. Unlike everyone else, He Zhao did not look at all disheveled, but rather full of energy.

He Zhao returned with a stretcher, on which lay the elder's body.

Before He Zhao could stand firm, Yuan Qi pounced on him.

"What are you doing?" the latter asked the former.

He Zhao did not dwell on his behavior in the past few days, but called people to place the elder's body in the center of the warehouse.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, he stood in a slightly higher position.

He cleared his throat, his expression solemn. It was only then that Yuan Qi noticed He Zhao's clothing.

This is the clothing worn by priests during important events in the original church.

The original church is an imported religion, and after localization, many of its attire changed accordingly. Even the Father God it believed in was not immune.

The image of God the Father changed from the blond-haired, blue-eyed people of the United Kingdom to the black-haired, black-eyed people of the Federation.

In the original church, black priestly garments are said to be able to communicate with God the Father.

But generally only people at the bishop level can wear it, so He Zhao was overstepping his bounds at this time.

Yuan Qi, who was already in a low mood, became furious when he saw this. He thought He Zhao was eager to get promoted.

Preparations have been made to hold a funeral for the elder as bishop.

He picked up a chair from the warehouse and was about to rush forward.

But the next second, He Zhao spoke.

His voice was ethereal and clear, like the sound of a great Dao:

"God says that all who are pious will have eternal life! All who believe in me will be free from disaster!"

The house is full of lights.

Then, Yuan Qi saw the elder's finger move!!!
