So I'm a sheep.

The little girl calmly said, "But faking it won't solve anything."

"The water in the tank is only a little over half full... Did someone add water to it?"

"I will visit the remaining temples. Those who want to take shortcuts should give up now."

Ignoring the unpleasant looks on some people's faces, Sasha turned and left.

She actually knew who had set this up, but she had no intention of causing them any trouble.

In a few days, almost all of the upper echelons of Jinxi City, except for Fred whom she was protecting, would be dead. The little girl, who was about to die, didn't want to bother with them.

Volume 1: Chapter 53 The Tactic of Scolding

Whenever the drums sound, many of the upper echelons of Jinxi City die.

This continued for several days, but one day, the little girl was surprised to find that the demon was no longer attacking the few remaining high-ranking officials; only civilians were dying.

"You want to leave me with some trouble?" Sasha quickly understood the devil's intentions.

"They miscalculated. After Fred revealed to those people that I wanted to take back the amulet, they dared not mess with me anymore."

In fact, after the plan to incite people to drive Sasha out of the city failed, the leaders of Jinxi City were at their wits' end.

Should we find someone else to assassinate the divine messenger?

Not to mention that all the guards they could influence have lost their heads, the hothead who dared to assassinate the divine envoy is no longer around.

Demons and gods are both beyond their power to fight, but if they are killed by demons, their souls can still be redeemed.

If you continue to provoke the divine messenger...

They were never devout believers. Once their amulets were taken away, and they died suddenly when the drums sounded one day, they would suffer in purgatory after death.

Comparing the two, it's clear what to do.

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

Today was a day without drumming. After collecting a bunch of small points of light from each temple and continuing to brainwash people, the little girl strolled around the streets.

"It's so quiet."

Despite it being 'Safe Day', the streets were deserted.

"Everyone either went to the temple to pray or stayed at home."

"Alas, that wretched demon has truly ruined Jinxi City!"

Seeing the city in such a state of desolation, the city lord felt very uneasy.

"Just bear with it for a few more days, it will be over soon."

The more people fear the demons, the more they yearn to end it all.

Under Sasha's guidance, people become devout followers of the goddess every day.

'The period of explosive growth for the small sparks has passed; the vast majority of people have contributed their strength to defeating the demon.'

'Now we just wait for the traps laid by those old hunters to take effect. Once the crows are caught, I can immediately use them to locate the demon.'

'Hmph, I'll unleash my full power and crush that menace!'

"Lady Sasha, Lord City Lord."

A man was about to leave when he saw the little girl and Fred, and he greeted them somewhat awkwardly.

"What a coincidence, where are you headed?"

“Of course it’s the temple. Lady Sasha, I go to the temple to pray for our Golden Creek City every safe day.”

"Oh"

(You rascal, if you really care about Jinxi City, hurry up and worship the goddess, then contribute your little points of light.)

This man is not only one of the high-ranking officials in Jinxi City, but also a die-hard who refuses to believe in the goddess.

Sasha had no liking for him whatsoever. After a brief greeting, the girl quickened her pace without any attempt to hide it.

'Um? '

Just as Sasha was about to pass by the man, she stopped in her tracks.

Turning around in surprise, she took a closer look and saw that small lights were indeed emanating from the man's body!

Lady Sasha

Feeling uneasy under the girl's gaze, the man chuckled awkwardly and asked, "Is there something you need?"

"No, no, you've also contributed to Jinxi City!"

"Haha, I'm very pleased."

"..."

"Go ahead, it won't stop you from praying to the goddess."

The girl waved to the bewildered man, and was in a great mood.

Even such a stubborn person has developed a faith, so I believe we'll soon be able to get our hands on the last batch of small sparkles.

'No, not necessarily.'

Ultimately, faith in a goddess is only a possible condition; he may not have suddenly become truly devout.

Looking at it from the perspective of faith, well, the unbelievers are still unbelievers.

Even though he didn't have a goddess of faith, small lights started appearing on his body.

If that's the case...

'Does the appearance of these tiny points of light actually have nothing to do with faith?'

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

"Lady Sasha, I went to the temple this morning and the water tank is not full yet."

"Lady Sasha, will the water tank be full today?"

"Lady Sasha, the water tank isn't full yet, it's almost full."

"Lady Sasha..."

"stop!"

The little girl looked at Fred with a helpless expression: "Have some patience, Lord City Lord. How many times have you run back and forth between the temple and the city lord's mansion today?"

"You don't need to go and check; I'll sense it myself."

"Eh, is that so?"

Fred scratched his head, chuckled for a moment, and then quickly became restless.

"Lady Sasha, I'd like to go see it one more time."

"Fred, have you forgotten what I just said so quickly?"

"I can tell you the water level right now if you want to know. The water tank is also..."

"No, no, no, Lady Sasha, please let me make the trip again."

"I feel more at ease when I see it myself!"

After saying that, Fred quickly ran out the door before the little girl could speak.

"..."

Fine, I'll go then.

With his own specially made amulet, even if the drums suddenly sound, Simon cannot kill Fred in a short time.

"Sigh, I can understand Fred's feelings."

The water tank was almost full, but after waiting for several days, it still wouldn't fill up with the last bit of water!

In this situation, Fred must have been extremely anxious, so it's no wonder he couldn't sit still.

In fact, not only Fred, but everyone else in Golden Creek City, including Sasha, is very anxious now!

While others were anxious about when the water tank would fill up, the little girl was anxious about when that wretched crow would be caught.

'I helped the hunters set their traps.'

'All the traps are enhanced by my power; once the crows are activated, there's absolutely no escape.'

'The crow hasn't been caught yet, there's only one possibility...'

That sly crow saw through all the traps and hasn't triggered a single one so far!

'It would be nice if the crow could fly directly into the cage specially prepared for it, but unfortunately, that's not possible.'

'Hmm, I can't wait any longer, I need to think of another way.'

'...'

'If I could understand the true nature of the power within me, perhaps I could try to do some things I can't do now.'

'Should we put the demon aside for now and focus on studying the power within us?'

"No, that's too risky."

'The people of Jinxi City can't wait much longer; I don't have much time left.'

'I can't take the risk; I need to find a safer approach.'

The little girl racked her brains for a while, but even with a headache, she still couldn't come up with a good idea.

"Lady Sasha, I've been to the temple, but the water tank is still not full!"

"I know"

After saying something irritatingly, the little girl looked at Fred and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

'Speaking of which, Fred seems to be quite good at swearing.'
