It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

After careful consideration, he gave his answer.

"Let's call it the Holy Fire Cat Cult."

It’s September, time flies by so fast.

Chapter 267 The attraction of eggs is infinite!

2023-09-17

A few days later.

The depressed mood brought about by the Poseidon Stone trade has not completely faded away, and the once prosperous main city of the empire is now still deserted.

In this situation, many shops have chosen to close temporarily or even permanently. It’s not easy to survive in a big city... I might as well go back to my hometown and raise pigs.

But at this moment, a building in the DC area appeared in front of the public after a simple renovation.

This area is a mixed bag of people, so this incident naturally did not escape the eyes of the general public.

"Isn't this the property that was previously owned by the Iron Wing Family? It has been abandoned since it was confiscated by Grand Duke Gu Jian twelve years ago... Who bought it?"

"I don't know. Maybe it's some bastard who got rich with the Seagod Stone... What has he changed into? The door is closed in broad daylight, and I don't know what he's selling."

"Here, here, why is the sign so small and hung crookedly... What is this, the Holy Fire... Cat Cult?"

After struggling for a long time to find the sign, everyone was immediately confused.

The first person to realize it realized something was wrong, "Could this be a blasphemous activity organized by someone?"

Under the heavy pressure of the Holy See, all other informal gatherings and activities were strictly controlled. If there were any signs of development, the priests and Knights Templar of the Holy See would immediately take action, leaving rivers of blood wherever they went.

This kind of thing is not common, but every time it happens, it causes a lot of trouble. It is considered a serious crime, comparable to treason.

For the people of the Hualan Empire, the most memorable event was five years ago, when some nobles used a similar name to launch an Impart. The incident caused quite a stir, and the entire main city was going crazy about it... The final result, of course, was a killing spree, involving many dignitaries.

Those reports and paintings that have been circulated are still the subject of much discussion among many people.

After these words were spoken, others also became alert.

Someone was originally planning to push the door open to take a look, but he jumped back as if he had been electrocuted. "Woc, that was a close call. If that's the case, don't dare to move!"

"Let's go quickly. Who knows what's going on inside? Don't join in the fun..."

"That's right, don't splatter your blood on me when you die!"

"Should we notify the Vatican? There might be a reward..."

"……Wait a moment!"

Just as everyone was talking about it, someone suddenly interrupted the noise and said, "Look!"

"what happened?"

Everyone came over curiously.

The man held up another inconspicuous bulletin board with a line of neatly written large characters on it.

《Every visitor can receive a dozen eggs》

"Woc!"

Everyone exclaimed again, and there was a light in their eyes.

Well, now I have a reason to go in and take a look.

……

The attraction of eggs is endless. The common people who were still hesitating in the previous second, mustered up the courage to push open the heavy door in the next second.

The furnishings inside give people a sense of familiarity, with carved stained glass, dim candlelight, rows of benches...very similar to what everyone saw when they went to the Vatican’s church to worship and pray before.

Woc, it really is a shoe education!

Even the atmosphere was equally solemn and dignified...Oh, this one didn't.

After a brief surprise, everyone discovered that there were two people fighting with each other on the platform.

"I won't wear it! Don't think I don't know what you're up to!"

The white-haired girl who looked only about ten years old was struggling to resist the claws of the man opposite her. "You just want to take this opportunity to satisfy your evil taste!"

"What a joke, this is a serious matter, okay?"

The man with gold-rimmed glasses said seriously, "We are the Holy Fire Cat Cult. Don't you, a saint, even have cat ears?"

"Besides, you've become so bold that you don't even listen to your dad, right?"

"I don't care, where are you from, wild dad?"

Xia Ke'an refused outright, and it was obvious that he was going to give up after his identity was exposed, "If you don't want it, then don't want it!"

……

Everyone was confused and nauseous when they saw this. What did I see?

And you said you are not Impart? What are you doing?

Anyway, this interaction is not normal no matter how you look at it… But there are normal people too. There is also a girl in an embroidered robe standing by with her arms folded, watching everything with helplessness and amusement.

Master, you are beyond help, okay?... Of course, Junior Sister isn’t in much better shape either.

When I didn't know before, I just thought it was the innocent childishness of the white-haired loli. Now that I know she is actually the oldest in the group, the silly apprentice finally sees what everyone means by pretending to be young.

Are your mental ages combined ten years old? This is too childish...

Pan Ling subconsciously held her forehead, and for once she felt as if she had chosen the wrong master.

"Um, please..."

At this moment, the citizen who had led the way in asked cautiously, "Are there any eggs available?"

If not, we will leave. You guys are having so much fun, we won’t disturb you...

"ah!"

Pan Ling came back to her senses and exclaimed unconsciously.

But she soon regained her composure, put on a smile and walked down the stage.

"Yes, our sect has just been established, and charity is one of our teachings."

She cleared her throat and pointed to a table piled with baskets. "Everyone has a share. No need to rush."

"Just... you can get it without doing anything?"

Someone still didn't quite believe it and asked another question.

"Yes, since it is a donation, of course you don't need to do anything."

The obedient disciple nodded, but then changed the subject, "But since you are willing to come and visit, why not listen to a few words from me?"

"Ok?"

Before the man could react, Pan Ling spoke up, "Sir, did you lose your purse yesterday? Fifteen silver coins is your family's monthly expenses. You must be very distressed, right?"

"…How did you know that?"

The man was stunned for a long time before he reacted in shock, "This..."

"Don't worry, we of the Holy Fire Cat Cult are here to help you because we feel the guidance of the gods."

Pan Ling smiled and consoled him, pointing to the platform, "Our Saint Lady will tell you how to solve this problem."

Before he finished speaking, a breeze suddenly blew.

Everyone looked at that place. There was no longer any fighting on the stage. The little white-haired girl had clasped her hands together and closed her eyes. There seemed to be a cyclone spreading around her, gently lifting her up.

Xu Shi had already restrained his playful air. He took the opportunity to quickly put the headband in his hand on her head, smiled slightly, and disappeared behind the scenes.

"Great Holy Fire Cat God, please guide this lost lamb and help him find his lost wealth..."

The white-haired girl muttered something, and slowly opened her eyes after a while, "You took a shortcut when you went home yesterday, right? Go look for it somewhere, the purse should still be there."

"This... are you telling the truth?"

The man's eyes lit up and he hurriedly confirmed.

"You'll know if you go and see it?"

Pan Ling continued, "Hurry up. There are so many people here. If you are late, we won't be able to tell you... If you find it, please remember to come back and let us know."

"Oh, well..."

Passerby A agreed verbally, but he was actually a little nervous.

After all, this is still an illegal assembly, right? There may not be any benefit in going back and forth, so why not go and look for it first? If you find it, you can just take the money and go home. If not, there is no need to come back. Wouldn’t it be better to report it to the Vatican directly?

"If you come back again, you can get a double portion of eggs."

"…I will definitely come back!"

These words worked better than anything else. Upon hearing them, Passerby A immediately changed his tone and left in a hurry.

Others who witnessed all this also became interested and wanted to see whether their pretense was real or not. If it was true, it would be interesting, but if not, they would just take the eggs and leave.

So they were not in a hurry anymore. There happened to be chairs here, so they just sat down and waited.

They didn't have to wait too long, and Passerby A, guided by the "Oracle", quickly came back.

"It's true! Thank you so much!"

He excitedly raised the purse in his hand, looking like he was about to cry, "I really lost it there, thank you so much..."

"You're welcome. This is what we, the Holy Fire Cat Cult, should do."

Pan Ling still kept smiling and extended her hand to guide, "The eggs are over there. If you are in a hurry, you can take them and leave."

"it is good!"

Passerby A's excitement was beyond words. This was simply the best day ever.

Not only did I get my lost wallet back, but I also got free eggs. Is there anything better than this?

Even double eggs!

The other onlookers were also more or less surprised when they saw this.

I came here just to get a bargain, but I didn't expect to see something so incredible?!

"You guys are not acting, are you?"

Of course, there will be people who still have doubts, "I, I also have some problems that need to be solved, you guys..."

"Is it about your wife?"

This time Pan Ling didn't even need to speak, Xia Ke'an had already calmly read out, "Don't worry, she is loyal to you, it's just that prices have skyrocketed recently, so she had no choice but to go to the black market to trade items with others... But it's not safe there, don't let her go out tonight, and even if she does, you must go with her, otherwise her life may be in danger."

"You, don't scare me, it can't be that mysterious..."

The man stuttered when he heard this. On the one hand, it was because the other party had seen through his troubles, and on the other hand, the words were a bit alarmist.

"The Saint Lady never lies."

Pan Ling put away her smile and said in a more serious tone, "I still say the same thing. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself."

"...Don't lie to me!"

Passerby B thought about it and decided to believe it first. For something like this, it is better to believe it than not to believe it, right?

Before leaving, he did not forget to collect his free eggs.

"Now is the time for the Saint Lady to receive the oracle. If you also need guidance, please line up and come one by one."

Xu Shi's voice came from behind the scenes, just right to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm.

Once there is a beginning, things will become much simpler afterwards - if one person could be a hired helper of the Holy Fire Cat Cult, it is impossible for all the people present to be one, and judging from everyone's expressions, it is obvious that they have correctly pointed out the troubles in their hearts.

As for how to solve it, it depends on the situation. Some can be verified immediately like losing a wallet, while others require more time... But no matter what, pointing out what everyone is thinking without even having to open their mouths is enough to impress a lot of people. Based on this alone, this hidden new sect has accumulated a lot of credibility.

Not to mention free eggs, right?

Soon, the crowd who came to watch the fun spontaneously lined up, waiting for Xia Ke'an to help solve the problem.

The Saint Lady wearing kitten ears was naturally not stingy and patiently pointed out the direction for them.
