Let's play cards! In a different world of swords and magic

It seemed like it was about to go in, but in the end it didn't go in at all.

So cool (×)

"What is that guy doing?"

Same question, different question content.

You Ling's confusion has changed from why Irene had to queue in front of the confessional to why Irene had to queue in front of the confessional.

Is there any special meaning in just queuing up but not going in?

But since the Witch of Trash had no intention of confessing any narcissistic declaration, You Ling could walk away without worry.

"So what are you doing?"

She questioned him openly, but when she saw You Ling and the little princess Nova appear, Irena looked dazed for a moment, and then she looked guilty.

"Um...why are you two here, Yu Rei and Nova?"

It was not convenient to chat in the queue, so Irena quickly helped the two of them to a secluded corner of the church.

"I also want to ask you, why are you here?" You Ling asked Irena.

"I am here, of course, to repent!"

"Don't fool me. How can someone who really wants to repent queue up like you and just can't get in?"

"Ah, You Ling, you peeked at me!" Irena realized that her behavior was exposed, and she was so angry that she said, "You hooligan!"

Can I be called a hooligan if I just peeked at you queuing?

Little Nova tilted her head and guessed, "Could it be that, Senior Irena, you have committed some shameful crime that you cannot even talk about, and you have been struggling over whether or not to go in and confess?"

Repeatedly jumping between confession and non-repentance seems to be a possible explanation for the constant queue.

But Irena totally denied it.

"Unspeakable crimes? How could I possibly have such a thing? For a super beautiful girl like me who possesses both intelligence and beauty, there is no crime that I need to confess."

Irena proudly placed her fair palms against her chest. This proud and narcissistic attitude was indeed out of tune with the atmosphere of the confessional.

You Ling pointed out: "Since you admit that you have no intention of repenting, then you must be causing trouble."

"It's too much to say that you're causing trouble."

Irena put her finger in front of her lips, lowering her voice further and pretending to be mysterious.

"Don't you want to know why a confessional in a church is so popular, attracting people from the capital to line up to confess there?"

“Are the people of the Imperial Capital not guilty of too many sins in their hearts?”

"How is it possible? We are all ordinary people, how can the people in the imperial capital be the most sinful?"

Traveling on a broom to various countries in the Elf Continent, Irena has a good understanding of local customs and practices.

Although she had never been to the imperial capital, Irena had been to some other small towns in the empire. She had never seen such a wonder in any church.

Since the confessional in the Imperial Cathedral can gather so many people, it must have its own unique features.

"Aren't you curious?"

"Curious." You Ling and Nova admitted honestly.

"I'm curious, but what does this have to do with you standing in line?"

"I was eavesdropping."

"o(?Д?)っHey!!"

This astonishing statement shocked You Ling and Nova for a whole year.

"Eavesdropping, do you mean eavesdropping on the conversation in the confessional?" You Ling confirmed.

Nova said, "But the confessional is a completely enclosed space. The soundproofing is so good that it's hard to hear even if you stick it to the door, let alone the queue."

“So I prepared this.”

Bringing her exquisite profile closer to You Ling, Irena used her slender fingers to charmingly lift up her long grey hair, revealing her cute little ears and a small magic mark at the base of her white ears that was faintly glowing.

"Hearing enhancement magic. I placed another mark on the wall of the confessional, so that as long as you stay close enough, you can hear the conversation inside."

No wonder Irena kept jumping back and forth in front of the confessional. It turned out that it was to maintain a suitable eavesdropping distance.

You Ling couldn't help but complain: "This is already a serious crime that is enough for you to repent a hundred times!"

You know, the privacy of the confessional is more important than anything else.

Because people believe in the professional ethics of clergy and the conversations in the confessional, and only God, the earth, you and I know the sins, people dare to speak out the sins in their hearts.

This scumbag witch even said that the beautiful girl has no sin to repent for.

For eavesdropping on the conversation in the confessional, Irena should be thrown into the confessional and apologize to God.

"I'm just curious about why this place is so popular. I can also promise that I will never tell anyone what I heard, that's all."

"So did you hear anything suspicious?"

"I heard that the clergyman in the confessional was a young lady with a very nice voice."

"Then she should be called a nun," Nova corrected.

"Oh, yes, it's a nun. In a normal confessional, the priest is the one who listens. It's quite rare to see a nun sitting in a confessional and listening."

"Nuns and confessionals." You Ling thought silently.

I heard that some people's XP systems are like nuns in a church. The sense of guilt for defiling the sacred makes these people extremely excited.

If the person sitting in the confessional was a young and beautiful nun, You Ling seemed to understand why the confessional in the Imperial Capital Cathedral was so popular.

Let the young and beautiful nun, after listening to her sins, say in a gentle and delicate tone, "God will not blame you, God will forgive you because you are God's people."

If he wasn't also innocent, You Ling would have been tempted.

"Of course, the fact that the person sitting in the confessional is a nun with a very nice voice is only part of the reason. There are other reasons why so many people gather in this confessional."

"Another reason? What is it?"

"I think it would be easier for you to understand if you guys listened to it instead of me telling you orally."

After saying that, the same magic mark as the one at the base of the ear appeared on Irena's fingertips, as if this mark used for eavesdropping could be shared with You Ling and Nova.

"Are you asking us to eavesdrop as well?"

This scumbag witch, who do you think you are? I, You Ling, am upright and righteous, how could I be in league with a scumbag witch like you?

"Just tell me whether you want to listen or not."

……

In front of the confessional, You Ling, Nova, and Irena lined up in a row, blending into the crowd without changing their expressions.

According to research, voyeurism is one of the most basic desires of human beings. When the voyeurism is released and the private secrets of others are peeped into, a huge sense of satisfaction will also be obtained.

Of course, I solemnly declare that You Ling did this not to satisfy his desire to voyeur.

He had no interest in the crimes committed by the people of the imperial capital. He was just curious about what the "other reasons" that Irena mentioned were.

Through the connection of the magic mark at the base of the ear, You Ling, who was in the queue, could indeed hear the conversation in the confessional.

This kind of eavesdropping, where feelings of guilt and excitement were intertwined, was also the first time in You Ling's life that he experienced this kind of eavesdropping.

"God, I betrayed my colleagues for the sake of profit. This keeps me awake at night."

“My pious people, God will forgive your sins.”

""Dear Sister, I fell in love with two people at the same time. I am so unclean.""

““Be clear about your own heart. God will not blame you for it.”

Just as Irena said, the nun in the confessional really had a nice voice.

Moreover, her gentle and kind voice seems to be the spokesperson of the truly almighty God, bringing comfort to sinful souls.

"It's a very ordinary conversation, nothing strange."

"Shh, You Ling, just keep listening and you'll know."

Looking towards the confessional, the person entering the confessional at this time appeared to be a middle-aged woman in simple clothes.

However, after entering the confessional, this middle-aged woman did not confess her crimes like the previous few people did, but remained silent.

In the end, it was the nun who spoke first.

““My fellow man of God, it seems that you are still confused about the sins in your heart.”

"It's like this. Please give me some advice, Sister."

"Don't worry, God will not abandon any lost soul."

There was a brief silence, and then the nun continued.

"You cheated on your husband and now you feel very sorry for him, but you are too embarrassed to say it out loud, which is why you are so confused."

""That's right, Sister! Will God forgive me even though I'm like this?""

"God will forgive all his people. Your sins will be taken away by God, and your heart will choose the right destination. "

"That's great!"

Looking at the middle-aged woman walking out of the confessional, You Ling was stunned.

What happened just now? The person who needed to repent did not confess his sins, but the nun knew all about it.

"That's the 'other reason' I mentioned." Irena said.

"I eavesdropped on several rounds and found that there were many people who found it difficult to speak out their crimes. Some even didn't know what crimes they had committed but just felt guilty. But this nun seemed to be able to truly hear the will of God and spoke out the crimes of everyone."

"Can such a magical thing really happen?"

Without any prior investigation, she could list any sin. If this nun really had this ability, it would not be an exaggeration to call it a miracle.

Adhering to the principle of sample diversity, You Ling, who was objective and fair, listened to the conversations of several more confessors.

Until a young man who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old walked into the confessional, the atmosphere became briefly quiet again.

"Is it true that a lost soul cannot know sin?"

This time it was the nun who spoke first.

"Sister, I know my crime, but I am too embarrassed to tell you."

"It's okay. Since you have the courage to sit here, I will confess your sins to God and ask for forgiveness."

After that, there was another pause, just like the one with the middle-aged woman, and the nun slowly confessed the sin.

"Oh my? Are you treating me as the object of your fantasy desires?"

"Yes, it is like this, Sister. I have done something extremely disrespectful to you. It is unforgivable!"

"Hehe, it doesn't matter. It's just a small matter. I can forgive you directly on behalf of God. There is no shame in following your inner desires."

"Is that so? Sister, you are so generous!"

Having received his own forgiveness, the young man left the confessional with a satisfied look on his face.

You Xia Ling had to believe this. Even knowing that he was being treated as a fantasy object, this nun sitting in the confessional was truly something.

The reason so many people gathered in front of the confessional in the Imperial Cathedral was not just because of the XP system of the imperial people.

After continuing to queue up and eavesdrop, and later witnessing several miracles where the nun took the initiative to enumerate the other party's sins, You Ling, who was at the front of the three people in line, unknowingly stood at the front of the entire line, in front of the confessional door.

"It's time to retreat, You Ling!" Irena reminded in a low voice.

After all, I was just here to queue up and eavesdrop, not really to confess. Now that I know why the confessional is so popular, I should stop while I can.

You Ling, who just hesitated for a while in front of the confessional door, did something that left both Irena and Nova dumbfounded.

You Ling pushed the door open and walked directly into the confessional.

Since the line has already been formed, it would be a waste not to join in.

Even if the other party did not confess, the nun could point out the other party's sins and forgive them. You Ling began to be curious about what sins the nun would tell him.

The most straightforward result is probably the crime of eavesdropping.

Even if the nun discovered his eavesdropping, according to the script, he would ask the gods to forgive him, which would also alleviate You Ling's own guilt.

However, when You Ling sat on the chair in the closed confessional, something different happened.
