You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"Uncle, what are you doing with the violin?" Yu Luying rushed over first: "I've never seen you play the violin before, can you?"

"Don't move," Yu Bo said with a smile, "Why can't I play the violin? This is my secret weapon. When the time comes, I'll play Erquan Yingyue and maybe your teacher Song will come to his senses."

The three young men were all stunned and looked at each other.

However, they didn't care.

Xiao Yao urged, "Let's go, before Zhao Xiaomei goes in by herself."

However, ten minutes later, when the four walked out of the side door of the Sacre Coeur again, they were all dumbfounded.

Because the original school and gate are gone, replaced by a towering... monastery?

This monastery looks like a typical representative of the Carolingian monastery. There are churches, libraries and other buildings in the monastery. The church is the center, and the other buildings are arranged in a closed horseshoe shape. It contains almost all architectural forms of important stages in architectural history, such as the capital decoration of the early Middle Ages Carolingian style, the architectural layout of the Gothic ancient monastery, and the Baroque church and library. The whole monastery gives people a feeling of disharmony and oppression.

In comparison, Father Yu's church looked like a woodshed.

"Did you see it?" Yu Bo asked the three young men around him in a calm and composed tone.

"I thought I was dazzled." Yu Luying said hesitantly.

"Look up at the sky." Shen Jie reminded them.

Xiao Yao looked up and saw a huge black moon, so big that it gave people a suffocating feeling of oppression. The bright moonlight that once shone from the sun's rays had disappeared without a trace, becoming just an ordinary member of the billions of celestial bodies in the dark and empty universe.

In a glowing green light, the four people realized that the "shadow time" that first appeared at the birthday party had come again.

This explains why, even though we didn't pass through any mirrors, we arrived at such a bizarre scene.

"Is this monastery," Yu Luying said, "what my uncle imagined St. Francis Xavier School to look like?"

"Huh?" Yu Bo didn't react for a moment.

"I think Silly Girl's guess actually makes sense." Shen Jie said coldly.

Ever since the symbiosis was exposed, Shen Jie and Yu Luying are no longer as close as before. Even so, they have never had an open argument and still address each other the same way as before.

Xiao Yao also felt that this conjecture made sense. After all, the predecessor of this school was a church middle school, and the Sacred Heart Church was just an affiliated church of the school. As a clergyman, it was reasonable for him to reminisce about the glory of the past and look at the school in this way.

"You mean, this is my... palace?" Yu Bo touched his chin and said, "What a joke! How can someone like me have a palace?"

"But..." the boy asked thoughtfully, "When did we suddenly enter the shadow time?"

“I don’t know,” Yu Luying recalled, “It seemed like I became like this right after I came out of the church.”

"Based on last experience, Brother Bo should not be able to sense shadow time." Shen Jie added.

Fortunately, unlike last time, the three were not immediately surrounded by the manic shadow army. Instead, if they walked away from the school, they would come to a bustling street. The monastery in the distance disappeared, and looking in that direction, the school remained the same as before.

"So, this shouldn't be the shadow time phenomenon that I encountered at Xiao Yao's house last time..."

After pondering for a while, Yu Bo spoke again and pointed out: "The only possibility in the current situation is that... the four of us have simultaneously gained the ability to enter the shadow world directly without going through the mirror."

"How could this happen?!" The three children had no confidence in this conclusion.

But Yu Bo didn't care: "Well, there's no point in looking back and forth, just enjoy it now. I know you all have extraordinary skills in the film world, let me see them today."

After saying that, Yu Bo picked up his violin case and strode towards the school.

When the four of them stood in front of the monastery's gate again, Xiao Yao was already wearing full armor, carrying a shield and a sword, but there was no obvious change in Yu Bo, Shen Jie and Yu Luying.

"Is this Don Quixote? This is the first time I see a spiritual fortress with my own eyes." Yu Bo reached out and stroked Xiao Yao's armor approvingly.

"I can set off some fireworks to celebrate. Do you want to see it?" Shen Jie held up a fireball with both hands and pretended to throw it.

"No, no, no, don't waste your energy," Yu Bo hurriedly stopped her and explained, "Xiao Yao's fortress is outside, which can protect him from harm and allow him to fight with a sword. And your fortress is inside, Queen Saint Mary can amplify your life energy and release a powerful offensive, but it can't protect your body. Once your body is injured, it will greatly weaken Saint Mary's power. If the enemy is smart enough, they will definitely take you as the main target of attack, so please be sure to protect yourself and don't be reckless."

"What Father Yu means is that the opponent will definitely attack the mage first - you just hide behind my shield." Xiao Yao knocked on his chest, making a ringing sound.

Shen Jie rolled her eyes at him but didn't argue.

"But I seem to have no strength at all." Yu Luying checked her whole body with both hands.

Yu Bo turned around, put the violin case on the ground, opened it, took something out of it, stood up and handed it to Yu Luying.

"Take this and try it."

This is an axe, the same one that Yu Luying carried with her at Qiangui KTV.

This axe was elusive in Yu Luying's hands and had caused Xiao Yao and Shen Jie a lot of trouble.

This axe, which was ordinary in Yu Bo's hands, immediately lit up with blue runes shrouded in a faint chill when it was handed over to Yu Luying.

"That's right!" Xiao Yao said happily.

"This……"

Yu Bo went on to explain: "The shadow world is considered to be a world composed of 'cognition', including our own cognition and the cognition of others. The spiritual fortress can protect self-cognition, and at the same time, it can project the strengthened cognition into the shadow world, gain recognition from the shadow world, and form a consensus. Power that is not recognized by the shadow world has no place in the shadow world, just like you couldn't break the doors and windows with an axe before, and pepper spray would not work. Although Yingying does not have a spiritual fortress, her self-cognition can be strengthened with the help of familiar tools or weapons to achieve a similar effect to that of a spiritual fortress."

"So, I believe I'm a knight, so I have armor and weapons, and Shen Jie believes she can set fire, so she can set fire? Even if I'm not a real knight, Shen Jie never knows magic?" Xiao Yao was a little skeptical about this statement: "What do you mean by justification by faith?"

"This statement is inaccurate, but if you want to understand it this way for now, it's fine."

"This is too outrageous." Xiao Yao said.

"Do you remember the chocolate bar you 'drank' in Mr. Yao's hall?"

"I remember," Xiao Yao said, "after I came out, the chocolate was still there, and I ate it for you."

"When you gave it to me, did you notice that the chocolate was solid?" Yu Bo said.

"......? Really? I didn't notice it, so what's wrong with that?" Xiao Yao was puzzled.

"Then why did the chocolate become liquid in the palace?" Yu Bo reminded them.

"Because... he was soaked in the water dungeon?" Xiao Yao asked.

"The water in the dungeon is hot water?" Yu Bo raised his eyebrows.

"Cold water."

"Is the packaging damaged?"

"No, it's intact."

"The packaging bag was intact. Chocolate soaked in cold water overnight will not melt," Yu Bo told them. "The reason why the chocolate melted was because Xiao Yao and Shen Jie 'thought' that chocolate would melt, because they are not science students."

Shen Jie's face turned red: "Okay, stop talking, we all understand what you mean."

"But uncle, you don't seem to have changed at all. Is that really okay?" Yu Luying asked Yu Bo worriedly.

"What should we do now?" Before Yu Bo could answer, Xiao Yao had already drawn his sword with his right hand: "Go in and find out what's going on? Or..."

Shen Jie's palms were burning with flames: "I can blow the door open directly."

Yu Bo stretched out his hand to stop her: "No, no, no, no! Let's use courtesy before force. Didn't you say that this might be my own palace?"

At this moment, the side door of the monastery was opened with a creaky sound, and a person dressed as a nun walked out.

She was neither tall nor short, and was wearing the kind of black and white nun's uniform commonly seen in TV and movies. The long skirt was eight inches long, and she was wearing black short cotton socks and student leather shoes. Her head was wrapped in a long scarf, with not a single hair showing.

The nun lowered her head slightly, and the part where her face should have been... was just darkness.

Yes, there is only darkness.

Xiao Yao initially thought it was just a problem with the lighting at night, but after careful observation, he realized that there was indeed no face.

This reminded him of what he saw in the mirror under the bridge when Shen Jie ran away from home for the first time... the faceless flower girl.

“Dear brothers and sisters, peace be with you in the Lord,” said the little nun.

"Safe." Yu Bo and Yu Luying responded subconsciously.

"I'm here on behalf of Dean Song to welcome several guests visiting our academy." The faceless nun kept a humble posture with her hands crossed on her shoulders.

Dean Song? Ha!

Xiao Yao almost laughed out loud.

It’s the same old thing.

Yu Bo looked at the three young men, spread his hands, and shrugged: "I told you, it can't be my palace."

"Please come this way." The faceless nun turned sideways, pushed open the side door of the monastery, and invited politely.

The four of them looked at each other, and all of them felt that this was a case of "walking into a trap". After hesitating for a few seconds, they had no choice but to slowly follow the little nun into the room.

As the four of them followed her into the courtyard, the small door was locked with a "click", which increased everyone's sense of uneasiness.

Xiao Yao noticed that although it was transformed into the appearance of a large monastery, the gate of the monastery still largely retained the style of the gate of St. Francis of Assisi School. Not only that, even the internal structure was quite similar.

The most obvious thing is that not far from the entrance is a playground of neither size.

"Father Yu, will there be a playground in the monastery?" Xiao Yao asked in a low voice.

Yu Bo did not answer the question, but stared at a portrait on the wall in a trance: "Who is this person?"

Xiao Yao took a closer look and saw thin eyebrows and eyes, a high nose bridge, thin lips, low cheekbones, thin cheeks, and that iconic mustache. Who else could it be but Song Haijian?

"It's Song Hai..."

"It's Dean Song of our institute." The faceless nun introduced.

This "Dean Song" had a mysterious smile like Mona Lisa on his face, a black square hat on his head, and the same robe as Yu Bo. He looked indescribably weird.

"It turns out that in Teacher Yao's mind," Yu Luying said, "the school is a KTV, a love hotel, a place where you can be free and learn what you want to learn..."

Shen Jie continued: "And in the mind of your teacher Song, school = great monastery."

"It seems that most of what Dean Song knows about monasteries comes from travel photos." Yu Bo chuckled.

As everyone was talking and walking towards the interior of the "monastery", suddenly, a burst of passionate music sounded above the monastery.

This is not some ethereal Gregorian chant, but the one that everyone is familiar with... "The Athletes' March".

As the "Athletes' March" sounded, a huge crowd began to pour into the playground from inside the monastery.

Xiao Yao was startled and subconsciously drew his sword, but Shen Jie held him back and squeezed the boy's palm.

In less than a minute, the "people" pouring out of the monastery filled the entire playground, and it was estimated that there were about one or two thousand people.

The male monks, all wearing hoods that couldn't see their faces, stood on the left side of the playground. The nuns, dressed almost the same as the "faceless nun", stood on the right side of the playground. There was a three-meter-wide aisle between the boys and girls.

"Hurry up and separate! Stand still! It's time for evening service!" the faceless nun urged.

"Evening classes?" Xiao Yao was puzzled.

Before he could react, the four of them were separated. Xiao Yao and Yu Bo stood in the monks' team on the left, while Yu Luying and Shen Jie stood in the nuns' team on the right.

"No time to explain, just do it now!" The Faceless Nun shouted in a low voice.

As the three leading nuns walked up to the podium, the small loudspeaker above the school—er, the monastery—issued the following message: “The Eighth National Radio Gymnastics for Middle School Students—Time is calling!”

Doing morning exercises so late at night, Principal Song, you are really poisonous, Xiao Yao sighed.

But what followed was not the familiar radio gymnastics music, but a cheerful melody that Xiao Yao had never heard before.

Next, there was a happy and pleasant female chorus.

"Baby

Good fortune is actually around you

My baby

Fighting from early morning till early morning..."

"What?" Xiao Yao hurriedly followed the lead dancer on the rostrum, performing these extremely difficult square dance moves.

"Those who cannot take tutoring are not worthy of being my good students.

In the world of exams, if you don't meet the standards, get out

Baby

The college entrance examination is the only ladder to success
