So I'm a sheep.

"Dawn Church says angels come to save us, so why are you unwilling to sacrifice yourself when the time comes?"

The young man stepped forward, staring at Sasha with hatred in his eyes: "If you die, the demons will let us go. Why don't you just die!"

"Sacrifice yourself to save humanity."

"Isn't this what angels should do?"

"Pfft, hahahahahaha."

The little girl couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I laugh at you for being out of your mind. Don't you know I'm the only hope against the demons? If I die, the demons will immediately massacre the city!"

"I'd rather believe the devil's promise than my words, 'When the water jar is full, the goddess will protect Golden Creek City.' Tell me, are you a traitor?"

Sasha glared at the young man whose expression had drastically changed, and angrily rebuked him, "You treacherous person, what benefits did the devil give you?"

"By spouting nonsense and sowing discord, do you want to destroy the entire city of Jinxi?"

"I didn't, I..."

"The Black Knight!"

At the girl's command, the Black Knight, who had been itching to act, knocked the young man down with a single punch.

"Lady Sasha, what should we do?"

"The goddess will punish this depraved guy."

After saying something casually, the young man lying on the ground suddenly screamed.

White flames erupted from his body, and the young man rolled around but couldn't extinguish the fire.

"Water, water, help!"

People kept their distance from him, and everyone looked terrified.

Soon, the young man fell silent.

"This is the result of trying to curry favor with the devil. You should all take this as a warning," the little girl said with a heavy heart.

Volume 1: Chapter 52 The Dying Man

After the little angel showed her how tough she was, she finally got a few days of peaceful sleep.

But as time passed, on the fifth night, the deadline for the demons to stop their killing spree arrived, and people appeared again who wanted to harm the little girl.

"Fred, Fred!"

This time, it was Sasha's turn to knock on the city lord's door. After a series of knocks, the man rushed out in a panic.

Lady Sasha

"Oh no, oh no, has the demon come?"

"It's not a demon, look, someone's trying to assassinate me again!"

"Uh, it's not a demon."

Fred glanced at the corpses by the little girl's door and said apologetically, "The guards were slacking off. I'll have them move these eyesores away right away."

"The key issue isn't whether these corpses are an eyesore or not. This is the city lord's mansion, the place where you, Fred, the city lord, reside!"

"These people with ill intentions can just come in as they please. Are your guards all useless?"

The city lord was taken aback, then nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, with so many people invading, why didn't the guards notice?"

"It's not that we didn't notice; I think your guards deliberately let them in!"

"I tolerated it the first time, but now you're doing this again?"

"These incompetent guards don't consider me, but don't they consider you, Fred?"

The little girl stared into the city lord's eyes: "What if these people are dissatisfied not only with me, but also with you?"

"If I'm not careful one day, you could very well have your head chopped off by these people while you're asleep."

Sasha's words caused Fred's expression to change drastically. The city lord cared most about his own safety, and the guards' behavior had completely trampled on his bottom line.

"A bunch of bastards!"

Forgetting all about sleep, Fred shouted, "I'm going to chop off their heads!"

"I'll lend you the Black Knight, and you can exchange him for a group of reliable, smart guards."

The little girl sighed, "Lord of the city, now not only the soldiers, but even your own guards don't respect you anymore."

"Take this opportunity, while I can still help you, to consolidate your authority."

.............................................................

The deadline had passed, and Simon did not find the little angel's body at the foot of the city wall.

And so, while it was still barely dawn, the annoying drumbeats began again.

However, the reaction of the people of Jinxi City this time greatly exceeded the demon's expectations.

"The demon is coming! Go home quickly!"

People on the street took off running, and in no time, everyone was back home.

Outside the city, Simon stopped waving his drumsticks.

He muttered uncertainly to himself, "Have I been seen through?"

"..."

That little angel is not to be underestimated; she may very well have already seen through my methods.

But what if we see through it?

It's a bit dangerous for crows to roam around the city during the day, so let them move at night.

Under the cover of night, can you catch my familiar?

'It's better if everyone stays home; who knows if they died during the day or at night.'

Soon, Simon resumed playing the drums as if nothing had happened.

The demon changed the frequency of the drumming, from drumming every night to drumming one day and resting the next.

A dozen or so people still die every day, but the death rate among the high-ranking officials in Jinxi City has increased significantly.

Before, one person died every day; now, at least five die every day!

The devil's intentions were sinister, but his efforts were remarkably effective.

Soon, the little girl encountered another problem.

"Drive the swindlers out of the city!"

"The imposter angel has deceived everyone; she cannot save us at all."

"The water tank is already full, why isn't the goddess protecting us?"

"Get out here!"

"Get out here!"

The mob surrounded the city lord's mansion, roaring that they would push the little angel off the city wall.

"Hmph, who's going to push me down?!"

The little girl stormed out: "You?"

The man, glared at by her, immediately lost his temper. He took two steps back and lowered his head, not daring to meet the eyes of the furious angel.

"Divine messenger, you've finally emerged."

A man stepped out from the crowd and stared at the little girl: "This morning, when everyone came to the temple, they found that the water jars were full."

"But why are there still dead people?"

Before the little girl could answer, another person jumped out: "Hey, how can you speak to the Divine Envoy like that?"

"It's normal for people to die. The goddess will only start protecting Jinxi City when the water is full."

"The water is full today, so the protection begins today."

"You mean the people who died yesterday don't count?"

"Of course not, what do you say, Your Excellency?"

Watching the two of them sing in unison, the young girl said calmly, "You've been saying the water's full, the water's full. I'll only know if the water's actually full after I go to the temple."

"Make way, I need to go to the temple."

.................................................. ................

The group arrived at the temple in a grand procession. The little girl walked up to the water vat and saw that, sure enough, the water was almost overflowing.

"My lord, all the water vats in front of the temples are full. Would you like to go and check them all?"

"Humph"

Sasha snorted coldly. She controlled the water level in the tank herself, so how could she not know whether it was full or not?

"Someone come here!"

The little girl immediately ordered, "Pour all the water out of the water tank!"

The newly selected guards were all very obedient; they did as the little girl asked without hesitation.

"Are you trying to renege?"

"The divine messenger has cheated! The divine messenger has cheated!"

"Come and see... huh?"

The riot quickly subsided, and people stared at the water vat, speechless.

At this point, the water tank was lying on its side, but after some water had flowed out, the remaining water seemed to be frozen and remained motionless in the tank!

I understand how you feel.
