So I'm a sheep.

"Your Holiness, those heretics are becoming increasingly aggressive."

“There are signs of infiltration in all the districts. This can’t go on!”

The fact that Sasha occasionally feels the limitations of human capabilities suggests that the higher-ups in the secret church are no pushovers.

Despite still holding a firm advantage on all sides, the archbishops in the council hall all had gloomy expressions.

The tide has turned against us!

"Everyone, we are now at a critical juncture of life and death."

An archbishop said in a deep voice, "Those heretics are very good at bewitching young people, and they are gradually taking away the future of the church."

"Saya is the key, what a pity, what a pity..."

Unfortunately, the Security Bureau had a group of people who worked tirelessly to protect her, and all the assassination attempts against Saya failed.

"We must defeat Saya fair and square; it turns out that underhanded tactics are useless."

The other archbishop frowned deeply. There were some things he strongly opposed, but the pope had made the decision, and he couldn't do anything about it.

"Our old friend is retiring next month, and there are some things he really can't do anymore," someone said vaguely.

“Saya’s family background is too complicated, mainly because of Spark… Old friends have warned us that it’s not good to start with her family.”

"Didn't that great heretic say before that he wanted to have a public debate?" someone suddenly said.

"Well"

An unspoken silence filled the council chamber, with Pope Louis frowning and remaining silent.

"Your Holiness, what is your opinion?"

Finally, an archbishop mustered his courage and spoke up: "If we can completely overwhelm that evil spirit in a direct debate, we can certainly deliver the heaviest blow to the Protestant Church."

"..."

"Saya is no ordinary person."

Louis said calmly, "Public debate is a double-edged sword; use it with caution."

'Still saying things like that? The church is running out of time!'

'Everyone knows it's a double-edged sword; I wouldn't have even mentioned it a few years ago.'

'Saya has survived all the suppression; this is her last resort. If all else fails...'

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

“The state of mind of both sides during the debate is also important, or we can start from that aspect.”

An archbishop broke the silence: "If we specify the time and place, we should be able to gain a lot of advantages."

"You mean, you're going to play psychological warfare with Saya?"

"kindness"

"It's difficult."

Someone immediately shook their head: "Saya's mental fortitude is exceptionally strong; ordinary psychological tactics are completely ineffective against her."

"Then let's do something special!"

"How to say?"

After the archbishop shared his thoughts, many people in the meeting hall were intrigued.

"Not bad, you made full use of our advantages and left no room for anyone to find fault."

"After all, it was a spontaneous action by the believers, haha."

"This will definitely affect her condition greatly. As long as we time it right, we have a great chance of winning!"

"..."

The archbishops hesitated, seemingly wanting to object, but ultimately remained silent.

Unfortunately, despite being at a disadvantage, the Protestant Church had gained the upper hand.

If we delay any longer, it will be too late!

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Louis said slowly, "I'm afraid Saya won't accept our conditions. What if she proposes a public debate in Arizona?"

"She'll definitely accept!"

In an instant, countless archbishops answered in unison.

"Oh?"

Facing the Pope's scrutinizing gaze, someone smiled wryly and said, "I know our enemy, Your Holiness. Saya is an absolute religious fanatic."

“As long as we extend an ‘invitation,’ she will come even if it’s a mountain of knives or a sea of ​​fire.”

"..."

'But for people like this, are our special psychological tactics really effective?'

Louis sighed, but had no choice but to approve the proposal.

They've been driven to the brink. If they don't fight now, once the situation reverses, she might not even pay them any attention if they try to settle things with Saya.

'Now is the time, you proud heretic, come forth, I will defeat you!'

Volume 1: Chapter 552 Fainting

Several years later, Pope Louis responded to Sasa's "challenge from afar" on his official website.

"December 14th, 3 PM, see you at the Sicilian Cathedral."

This brief message quickly became a trending topic within minutes.

"Did the Pope himself really respond?"

"Why did you not respond before, but suddenly respond now?"

"Tsk tsk, there's a shameless stench emanating from those words."

"Silence, heretics!"

"Can't I even speak online? I'm going to speak anyway!"

Before Sasha had even confirmed her attendance, countless people were already arguing online.

There are those who support the secret church, and there are those who support Protestantism.

You criticize Pope Louis for shamelessly deciding the time and place, but I say this is the kind of domineering attitude that an established church should have.

You bet five cents that Saya wouldn't dare to actually accept the challenge, but I bet ten packs of spicy strips that Saint would utterly crush old man Louis.

People took to the streets to protest the clandestine church's disguised oppression of Protestants; they held up banners and frantically showed their support for the Pope...

Because of a public debate that is not yet fully finalized, millions of people have already started taking sides in advance.

"..."

"Ms. Saya, you will accept the challenge, won't you?"

Millie found Sasha immediately; her heart was pounding and her forehead was covered in sweat.

"kindness"

Sasha nodded: "Please tell the sailors that we will win this battle."

What are you saying?

Millie instinctively pretended not to notice, but then her phone suddenly rang.

"This is a call from your new boss, answer it."

After glancing at the number, the female agent answered the phone with a pained expression: "Boss?"

Give the phone to Saya.

"learn!"

"Hello, sailor?"

“It’s me… The old smoker has retired, and the situation is much better now. You don’t necessarily have to take the risk.”

Upon hearing this, Sasha burst into laughter.

“Friend, Louis is courting death by challenging me to a debate; there’s no way I could possibly lose!”

"Don't forget you're deep in enemy territory; this debate has been unfair from the start."

“They have never talked to me about fairness, and I don’t need to.”

Sasha's voice was infectious: "Sailor, as long as you promise I won't get shot down halfway, leave the rest to me!"

"..."

"It's unlikely to be a shooting, but I got word from an inside source that they do want to do something bad to you."

"It's okay, I'll handle these things. You just need to have confidence in your ability to win."

"Thank you for all this time," Sasha said gratefully.

"Oh, right, Saya, if you win the debate, let's arrange a time to meet up sometime."

"Okay, I'll treat you to dinner."

"Haha, no need for you to treat me, a gentleman will pay the bill!"

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

During the interview, Sasha made it clear that she would keep her appointment on time.

"Everyone will know which of the two religions is superior on the 14th."

Why are you so confident?

"Because I am not fighting alone, many, many people are supporting me!"

"..."

The day of the public debate, eagerly anticipated by everyone, has finally arrived.
