Nightmare Light

Chapter 137 The mysterious woman
The ragged soldiers left with anger in their hearts.

Old Joe looked at the soldiers' backs as they walked away, and thought about their brigade commander who had a very bad reputation, and felt a little worried.

But after thinking about Lin Wang's character, Lao Qiao put his worries aside.

What the hell is there to panic about? No matter how powerful that guy is, can he be as cruel as those lunatics who come to the rescue?
At the same time, Bishop Du smiled at Lin Wang.

"Well, young Northman, distinguished guest of the temple, now that I have done my duty... I will take my leave."

"Bishop Du, I clearly called Sen, why is it you who came?" Lin Wang looked at Bishop Du and asked.

"Don't overthink it. I happened to be doing some work nearby, so I just wanted to help the Saint..."

"Bishop, you have sworn to God that you cannot lie." Lin Wang didn't believe him at all.

Bishop Du suddenly burst into laughter, startling everyone around him. "You can't lie! That's deceiving outsiders! If a priest doesn't lie, how can he be a priest?"

Dog Brother was stunned: "Ah? The priest must lie?"

"How else can we comfort people?" Bishop Du said cheerfully. "Thousands of people come every day to seek advice, pray, and seek help from God... How do you think the priests answer them?"

Gou Ge felt his worldview shattered: "Huh? All this is based on lies?"

"Of course not." Bishop Du said solemnly.

"I said..." Dog brother breathed a sigh of relief.

"It also requires some additional techniques, such as calming herbs and a bit of magic."

"..."

Bishop Du smiled and said, "Priests certainly cannot lie on matters of right and wrong, but the most important skill for a priest is to lie without batting an eyelid."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Wang seriously and said, "However, Northerner, regarding your question just now, I can give you a version that does not lie."

"Your previous deeds—killing the false god of the Blood Cult, defeating Dawn and Dusk and repairing the sky, even saving the Mist Tribe... these are all feats beyond the capabilities of mortals."

"These feats are worthy of me coming to see you in person..."

Bishop Du looked at Lin Wang with a focused expression, without blinking.

"Is that so..." Lin Wang raised his eyebrows, "Then I understand. In any case, I must thank you for what happened today."

"Oh, it's the temple that should be thanked—many of the things you've done are part of the temple's responsibilities...If it weren't for you, young northerner, the priests would have suffered heavy casualties, and the mortal world would have been devastated."

Bishop Du smiled and glanced at the entrance to the equipment yard.

"Oh, enough of the business flirting... The person who really wants to see you is here."

Bishop Du extended his hand towards the entrance of the equipment yard and said, "That's the one."

While they were talking, everyone looked towards the door, and Lin Wang saw a woman walking in leisurely from outside.

When she walked into the factory, everyone could see her appearance clearly.

Judging from her appearance, this person was about forty or fifty years old. She was dressed cleanly and simply, but there were some patches on her clothes and skirt.

But the strange thing is that although the clothes are old and simple, they are matched very well.

Lin Wang noticed that the woman had a mole at the corner of her mouth.

She folded her hands naturally in front of her, smiled, and walked slowly towards Lin Wang.

No one at the scene noticed that when the woman appeared in the equipment field, Dog Brother's expression suddenly changed, and a very complicated look appeared on his face.

After hesitating for a moment, Dog Brother quietly stepped back and left from the exit at the other end of the equipment field.

When she got closer, her eyes fell on Lin Wang and she looked him up and down.

Then, she showed a perfect and decent smile on her face, and said gently: "You are tall and mighty, courageous, and wise... You are worthy of being a young rookie who has accomplished so many things in a short period of time and whose reputation has spread throughout the entire Chu Federation... Mr. Lin Wang, you are very powerful." Lin Wang sneered in his heart and did not rush to interrupt the woman.

Instead, while the other person was looking at him, he also quickly looked at the woman. Finally, his eyes fell on the woman's folded hands.

Heh... deliberately acting approachable... with a strong sense of discomfort...

And deliberately wore poor people's clothes...

But how can a poor person have such thin hands?

Lin Wang complained in his heart.

With a calm expression on his face, he asked the woman, "Is this... why you sent someone to test me?"

As soon as he said this, not only the woman, but everyone around, even Bishop Du, changed their expressions.

Old Joe was even more shocked.

But the woman quickly regained her composure. She neither gave a direct answer nor denied the other party's words. Instead, she looked at Lin Wang with interest: "Why do you say that?"

Lin Wang smiled and said, "The reason is very simple."

"First, the acting of these soldiers was terrible - both the way they appeared and their attitude in inviting me were abnormal."

"Why is it not legal?" The woman still smiled calmly.

At this time, without the woman making any movement, two strong men in black suits and sunglasses suddenly ran over silently and placed a chair behind her.

The woman sat down naturally, folded her hands and crossed her legs. Her originally calm and gentle aura instantly turned into an overwhelmingly powerful aura.

The plain patched clothes she was wearing could not hide her aura at all.

She smiled and asked again, "Mr. Lin, tell me, what's wrong with this?"

She sat upright, and although she was in a low position, the way she looked at everyone naturally contained a sense of condescension and scrutiny.

Seeing this, Lin Wang just smiled calmly and took a step forward naturally.

As he walked, a biting coldness spread in the air.

He spread his arms and sat back like he was sitting on a sofa.

As he moved, a pure white ice chair emerged from behind him out of thin air and condensed into shape in the air.

When Lin Wang sat down firmly, the seat was completely solidified.

He was already tall, and when he sat down, his gaze towards the woman naturally became condescending.

The two men in black looked solemn. They walked past the woman, took a step towards Lin Wang, and reached inside their clothes.

The woman raised her hand and stopped the two men in black.

Her expression remained calm, as if nothing had happened: "Mr. Lin, what is your judgment?"

"My judgment... most of the federal soldiers I've met, including the Light Chasers and the sheriffs of the Sheriff's Bureau."

"They are all very polite and well-behaved soldiers."

"So when I saw the guys from the Guards Brigade, I immediately suspected their aggressiveness was an act."

"Afterwards, another detail confirmed my judgment."

As he spoke, Lin Wang glanced at Bishop Du.
