I started digging at the shallow soil around the tombstone.
Sure enough, there was a line of large characters carved by Cordelia: "I am not a sinner!"
"This is my mother announcing something to me!"
"With my mother's words, I feel much more confident about tomorrow's deductions. I just need to wait for the summer festival tomorrow..."
Victorique was still muttering to herself when Bai Ye suddenly sensed several inhuman auras nearby.
Those were eyes that shimmered with an eerie green light in the mist surrounding the cemetery.
"I didn't expect that the old man's claim about wolves appearing in the area was actually true."
He pulled Victorique into his arms.
Seemingly sensing that Bai Ye was not someone to be trifled with, the wolf, which was half the height of a person, only lingered around the perimeter of the cemetery for a moment before finally not daring to pounce.
Seeing the green eyes disappear from the mist, Victorica looked at Bai Ye with some lingering fear and cautiously asked a question.
"Hey! White Night!"
"You said you would always protect me... right?"
Don't you already have the answer in your heart?
Bai Ye smiled without saying a word, and Victorica also smiled and squeezed Bai Ye's hand.
Soon, the two returned to the village chief's mansion.
This time, however, He Manni was nowhere to be seen. It seemed that Bai Ye's warning had frightened her so much that she dared not approach the two of them.
Bai Ye also didn't see the village chief or Amproz; they seemed to be busy preparing for tomorrow's festival.
As they passed Sister Mildred's room, they unexpectedly saw Mildred opening the door to come out.
However, at this time, Midori was no longer dressed as a nun.
She removed the nun's headscarf, revealing a fluffy, deep red afro. Her egg-yolk yellow low-cut short dress accentuated her ample bosom, and her delicate face was dotted with a few freckles.
Holding a glass of fruit wine, she was slightly tipsy, exuding the aura of a street thug.
This made Bai Ye seriously suspect that the nun was an identity this woman had been faking all along.
"Hey! How's the call going?"
The three middle-aged men who also came out of the door behind her suddenly asked Midori about the phone call.
"Telephone?"
Victorica was somewhat curious.
"Didn't you say before that this village was self-sufficient?"
Midori took a sip of her wine before answering Victoria's question.
"I was also a little confused. I asked that strange maid and found out that someone had sponsored it for free ten years ago and even brought electricity to the village."
Midori took another small sip, reminiscing as she spoke.
"He seems to be a descendant of someone who left the village a long time ago, a man named Brian Roscoe, I think."
"Brian...?"
Victorica remembered the name. The intuition of the Fountain of Wisdom told the girl that this person must be the one who placed that photograph in her mother's room.
"Hey! Don't you feel a little bored being in the room all the time?"
"How about we go check out the church?"
The three men sitting together behind him suddenly started talking.
Bai Ye clearly gleaned the word "church" from their conversation.
"A church? Do they worship God here too?"
"Ha! Interesting!"
Bai Ye curled the corners of his mouth, finding it quite amusing.
Early the next morning
Today marks the official start of the summer festival.
Bai Ye and Victorica strolled around, experiencing the local customs and culture of the village.
"Have you made a decision yet?"
Baiye inquired about the timing of Victorique's decision to clear her mother's name.
"Okay, it's decided. It will be when the ancestral spirits are summoned at the church. I'll ask you to play the role of the village chief Theodore's spirit!"
"A church? That's a nice place!"
Bai Ye nodded, but pretending to be a spirit to scare He Manni? It would be much better to actually pull out the spirit of Village Chief Theodore himself. That would be very interesting!
In the original story, there was a scene where Sergius was possessed by the spirit of his ancestor while performing divination, and after being possessed, he actually divined the upcoming Season 2 and the ending of Victorique in the original story.
Therefore, Bai Ye still somewhat believed the rumors that this summer festival could summon the souls of ancestors.
So as long as the soul can be summoned back, Bai Ye has a way to make it appear.
Just thinking about the funny scene that would unfold made Bai Ye want to laugh.
"What are you grinning about! Come on, I heard the village chief was prophesying the future in the church, let's go see!"
"Row!"
Bai Ye was also very curious about what the village chief would predict if it were him.
Anyway, Bai Ye didn't believe that the so-called ancestral souls mentioned by the village chief could predict his own affairs.
They walked hand in hand to the church entrance.
The church looks just like a normal church, a triangular building with a cross on top, and the rows of seats inside are no different from those in a normal church.
The only difference is that above the cross in the very center of the church, there is a relief of a giant gray wolf.
Perhaps because they had arrived early, the group of children queuing outside the prayer room waiting for divination were all children.
Standing at the door, Amproz spotted Bai Ye and Victorica immediately.
They hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the purpose of the two's visit.
Upon learning that the two had come to hear the village chief's divination, he surprisingly helped them cut in line.
"This guy is a really nice guy!"
Seeing Amproz's behavior, Bai Ye was speechless. Just yesterday, he had almost killed Amproz's beloved girl in front of him.
Unexpectedly, this guy continued to greet me with a smile as if nothing had happened.
Moreover, based on Bai Ye's strength, he could sense that this guy was sincere.
At this moment, Bai Ye was certain that this guy, besides being a bit love-struck, was also a saint. Although he used to feel disgusted by saints when reading novels in his previous life, it was a different story if this saint was on his enemy's side.
I stood at the front of the line, and Victorica was next to go in.
A child ran out from behind the curtain in front of us.
Bai Ye also let go of Victorique's hand and let her go inside.
Do you think Bai Ye isn't curious about what kind of response Victorique's divination would get?
No, that's wrong. Even standing outside through a curtain, Bai Ye's five senses allowed him to clearly hear the entire conversation between the two people inside.
"My descendants who have been protected by us, what future scenarios do you wish to know about!"
Upon entering through the curtain, Victorique immediately saw the white-haired figure sitting in front of her.
It was precisely upon seeing the village chief's figure that Victorique felt curious and puzzled, because the Fountain of Wisdom told the girl that the village chief before her did not seem to be the arrogant and aloof village chief of yesterday, but rather seemed to be manipulated by something.
"Is this what they call ancestral spirit possession?"
After a brief moment of surprise, Victorica became even more convinced of the divination before her.
He glanced at the curtain behind him with a guilty look.
Seeing that the curtain was pulled tightly shut, the girl finally felt relieved. She then cautiously began to explain what she wanted to have divined.
"I want to have my fortune told. In the near future, and in the distant future, will I be able to stay with Byakuya... forever and ever?"
When the topic of spending time together came up, Victorica's face couldn't help but turn bright red.
Looking up, hoping to hear the answer he was expecting, he saw the village chief with his eyes tightly closed, his brows deeply furrowed, and veins bulging on his old face.
Just as the girl felt that his features were about to scrunch up, the village chief suddenly opened a pair of bright golden wolf eyes.
He was trembling all over, covered in cold sweat, and looked terrified, as if he had witnessed something extremely shocking.
A string of words uttered haltingly from his trembling mouth.
“Mattatron! You will... be Metatron's... eternal... companion..."
"Boom!"
A clap of thunder sounded in the clear sky, and the village chief instantly reverted from his previous state to that of a normal old man.
The village chief, now back to normal, had eyes filled with horror, as if he hadn't yet recovered from the shock he'd just experienced.
Victorique was also completely stunned after hearing the village chief's words.
"The Heavenly Secretary... Metatron...?"
"Although the world says the so-called Book of Enoch is a forgery, but... but... could it be that the God that guy talked about from the beginning was actually...?"
Even with Victorique's wisdom and temperament, her mind was still thrown into chaos when she heard that she would become such a person in the future.
Meanwhile, Bai Ye, who had been eavesdropping on the entire process from the doorway, was also somewhat surprised.
However, Bai Ye's surprise was different from that of the two women in the prayer room. What surprised Bai Ye was that this so-called ancestral spirit was not only different from Bai Ye's previous guess, but she was also a beautiful girl, and she could actually predict some scenes related to his future.
Indeed, the moment Victorica entered the room, Bai Ye clearly saw the thing in the prayer room that the Gray Wolf Village called the Ancestral Spirit.
It was a huge phantom of a mother wolf with bright golden eyes, but when Bai Ye looked at its true form, he saw a wolf-eared girl with long brown hair and wine-red pupils.
Can you guess who this so-called ancestral spirit is? It's not an original character.
Chapter 50 The Wise Wolf Holo?
Finally, after a moment of shock, Victorique, realizing there were still people in line behind her, quietly walked out of the small room.
"Victoria, what was the question you asked in your divination? Did you get the result you wanted?"
As usual, Bai Ye asked a question he already knew the answer to.
Victorica remained silent, her gaze towards Bai Ye filled with complexity and... strangeness.
Knowing the profound impact the divination had had on Victorique, Bai Ye refrained from further teasing the girl.
Simply by saying it was his turn in line, he pulled back the curtain and walked into the prayer room.
Victorique saw that Bai Ye also wanted to go in for divination. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but then stopped and couldn't say anything.
"Hey! Is this a guy from out of town who wants a fortune telling? You..."
Perhaps because of his extensive knowledge and experience, the ancestral spirit had recovered from the shock and wanted to continue his divination work.
When she saw that the next person to be divined was Bai Ye, she didn't pay much attention to this outsider at first. However, when she felt the powerful light energy that Bai Ye was constantly exuding, the Ancestral Spirit Girl fell silent again.
"You...don't you plan to show your true form and meet me? Aren't you uncomfortable controlling an old man's body remotely through faith?"
This was the first thing Bai Ye said when he entered through the curtain and saw the old village chief whose pupils had turned wine red.
"Ah! Does this sir wish to see my true form?"
The clear, crisp voice of a young girl replaced the old man's slightly hoarse words.
Immediately after the sound appeared, the old village chief, Sergius, who had been sitting upright in the priest's chair, suddenly fainted as if he had been hypnotized by some kind of hypnosis app and collapsed to the ground.
Instead, a young girl appeared before Bai Ye, her long, dark brown hair flowing freely, exuding a delicate fragrance. Her amber eyes were slightly tinged with red, her gaze both lively and mysterious.
She wore a pure white dress with a gold belt at the waist, creating an elegant and sacred look.
She was slender and graceful, with a fluffy wolf tail standing upright behind her, and a pair of bare, white feet. Every gesture she made exuded a noble air.
