You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"Maybe you are not skilled enough," Shen Jie said, "People who have just awakened the fortress are like this. I also experienced this situation at that time."

"It's almost like there's no mana left in the game." Yu Bo said with a smile.

"Not having mana is not a big deal," Shen Jie said with lingering fear, "It's better than being overloaded."

"In short, as long as we get to the sanctuary, everyone will be safe." Yu Bo said.

"The Holy Statue of Iesu will protect us, right?" The girl said in an innocent tone, "Just like the Holy Heart Statue you gave Xiao Yao during the last shadow time also protected us."

"Of course he will." Yu Bo said.

As soon as the two entered the gate of the Saint Ai Hotel, they saw Xiao Yao running out in armor, holding a sword and shield: "Father Yu? Honey? Are you okay? Have you seen Yu Luying?"

As Xiao Yao spoke, he rashly came up to hug Shen Jie, but the latter took two steps back to avoid him and said lightly: "I'm fine, this is all thanks to Brother Bo and Daiyu and the others."

When Yu Bo saw Xiao Yao wanted to hug Shen Jie, he frowned slightly.

The boy was a little embarrassed, but he said, "I'm glad you're okay, I'm relieved to see that you're okay."

"I'm going to take Xiao Shen back to the monastery now," Yu Bo said, "What happened to Yu Luying?"

"Yu Luying has taken away the Holy Body!" Xiao Yao stamped his feet and said, "She has also taken away the Holy Cloth. I don't know if she betrayed me, pretended to be me, or was possessed by someone else. Anyway, be careful when you see her!"

"What did you say?" Yu Bo was horrified and asked, "Yingying? The Holy Body was taken away? Then the Holy Body Room is doomed? You just ran out alone? Then Dad and the others..."

"It's okay~" Xiao Yao told Yu Bo: "Qiu Yiting has awakened the fortress, it's super powerful, it's more than enough to protect herself and the remaining two people, you can rest assured~"

"Qiu Yiting?" Yu Bo was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was the girl whose Christian name was "Luzia". Because everyone called her Luzia, he was unfamiliar with her scientific name. "Is she so fast?"

"Yes, this is considered a super potential person, right?" Xiao Yao said: "Time is running out, I can't say more to you, we have to find Yu Luying quickly, we can't let her escape with the holy clothes!"

"No," Yu Bo said, "I have to go to the monastery to check on my father."

"Then I will go after him with Xiao Yao first." Shen Jie stood beside Xiao Yao.

"You have just recovered from a serious injury and cannot fight. Following Xiao Yao would be a burden—"

"Brother Bo, I can do it," Shen Jie gently said, "I feel like I've recovered a lot. Can I go with him?"

Yu Bo was still hesitating, wanting to say that you don't even have a piece of clothing to cover your body, but Xiao Yao had already grabbed Shen Jie's hand and said, "There's no time to waste!"

Having said that, he took Shen Jie and ran towards the cafeteria.

"Be careful, be safe, don't act rashly, and keep in touch!" Yu Bo was stunned and shouted at the backs of the two people as they left.

Xiao Yao didn't react, but Shen Jie turned around and waved at him.

Yu Bo felt a little uneasy and said to himself, "Why does this kid speak in such a strange tone today?"

Without time to think, Yu Bo hurried back to his reserved room on the second floor and took out a suitcase containing a full set of items for mass - incense burners, bells, unleavened bread, holy grails, crosses, missals, holy water, wine, and so on.

His thoughts were very clear. Lucia had just awakened, and no matter how strong her fortress was, it would not last long, just like himself. He could not count on her too much.

Right now, we should go to the Eucharist first, hold a battlefield mass as soon as possible, and use the new Eucharist to re-erect the protective barrier.

Yu Bo, holding a suitcase in one hand and a gun in the other, trotted towards the sanctuary. Strangely enough, whether he was going to the second floor or the sanctuary, he hardly encountered any shadows along the way. It was extremely smooth.

Only when we approached the sanctuary did we encounter two or three kittens.

"Cairy, hairtail, this is Xiao Yao." Xiao Yao's voice came from the communicator.

……

"Hairtail, be careful." Yu Bo said.

"Yes, sir! Yahoo~~~~~~"

Yu Bo put down the communicator and looked up to see...

The priest was shocked.

--split line--

"Can't you sense Yu Luying's location?" Shen Jie's red cloak almost slipped off, so she quickly reached out to wrap it up again and took two steps at a time to catch up.

"Cairyu, Hairtail, this is Xiao Yao." Xiao Yao ignored Shen Jie's question and just spoke into the communicator.

"Brother Xiao Yao, your captain is at your service!" The cynical voice of Daiyu came from the communicator.

"Did you see anyone running out of the hotel?" Xiao Yao asked.

"The last person who ran out of the hotel was Father Yu. He rescued my sister-in-law. We haven't seen anyone come out since then." Daiyu reported.

"Sister-in-law?" Yu Bo interrupted in the channel: "Xiao Yao, you didn't break up with Xiao Shen?"

"It's divided," Xiao Yao said impatiently.

Shen Jie glanced at him.

"Listen carefully, Daiyu," Xiao Yao continued to give orders, "If you see a suspicious target, open fire first and ask questions later, especially Yu Luying, kill without mercy."

Shen Jie looked at him again.

"What the hell!" Hairtail questioned the order.

"The current Yu Luying has either betrayed us or is an enemy impersonator. She has just stolen two important sacred objects from us." Xiao Yao explained to Daiyu.

"We can't just kill them without mercy," Yu Bo interrupted again, "What if it's a real big sheep?"

"Big sheep?" Xiao Yao said, "Will a big sheep really rush out of the hotel?"

"Hairtail," Yu Bo continued to interfere with Xiao Yao's command: "Be careful."

"Understood!" The hairtail screamed: "Yahoo~~~~"

"Ah." Shen Jie staggered, used the small flame on her fingertips to illuminate, looked down, and saw blood gushing out from between her toes.

Seeing that Xiao Yao remained unmoved and just continued searching with the flashlight, Shen Jie finally couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Xiao Yao," Shen Jie stopped walking: "I almost died just now, do you know?"

"I know." Xiao Yao answered concisely.

"I hoped you would save me countless times at that time, but in the end it was someone else, and someone else, who saved my life. Do you have anything to explain? What on earth were you doing?" Shen Jie's voice trembled a little.

At this moment, "Xiao Yao" was facing away from Shen Jie. Her eyes rolled around and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

"If you want to have a fight," "Xiao Yao" said in an impatient tone, "Can you wait until the business is done first? Look around you. Our world is in danger. I always thought you were a sensible person. Now is not the time for sentimentality - hurry up and catch up."

Xiao Yao pushed open the kitchen door and saw Shen Jie still standing there, refusing to leave. He stopped, sighed and said, "I am protecting Yu Luying and her family. I regret it now. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Shen Jie still stood there, with her head slightly lowered, motionless and silent.

In the green darkness, Xiao Yao couldn't quite see the girl's expression.

"This is actually a question of who I should save first if you and Yu Luying fall into the water at the same time," Xiao Yao explained. "I won't save you first, nor will I save her first. I will only save the person closest to me first. This is a rational choice. Do you understand?"

"Xiao Yao," the girl took a deep breath and raised her head: "When everything is over today, I want to go home."

"Does that mean we want to break up?" Xiao Yao's tone was flat, without any surprise or excitement, as if he was talking about something insignificant.

How could Shen Jie know that "Xiao Yao" was secretly rejoicing in his heart?

"I won't break up with you," Shen Jie shook her head, trying hard to hold back the tears that were about to burst out: "It's just that I can't..."

Before she finished her words, a loud bang was heard in the kitchen.

It was like an iron gate fell down, Shen Jie thought.

"Who?!" Xiao Yao shouted, holding up the flashlight in his left hand and the sword in his right hand.

A flame ignited on Shen Jie's hand. Through the flame, she saw Yu Luying standing in the kitchen, covered in ice chips, holding an axe in her right hand and shivering.

You know what, it quite resembles a scene from a horror movie.

Xiao Yao drew his sword and shouted, "Hand over the Holy Body and Holy Cloth! What on earth are you going to do? Tell me the truth!"

"What on earth am I going to do? I'm just about to ask you what on earth you are going to do. Why did you lie to me?!" The girl in sportswear, with ice chips all over her body, condensed ice in one hand and held an ice axe in the other, pointing it straight at Xiao Yao.

Shen Jie looked at this, then looked at that, and the fire in her palms burned even more fiercely.

--split line--

Right now, on the other side.

In the sanctuary, Yu Bo was holding a double-barreled shotgun and pointing it at Xiao Yao: "Tell me! Are you a fake?"

"How did I become an impostor?! That one is the impostor!" Xiao Yao was furious: "You actually let the impostor take Shen Jie away?! Wait, how do I know that you are really Father Yu?"

Chapter 316 The first time the three of us are together

2023-09-02

When Yu Bo went upstairs to get the mass utensils, Xiao Yao was blocking the door of the shelter, which was no longer safe, playing the Wushuang tower defense game.

He poured all his anger and hatred, regret and guilt into the tip of his sword.

I should have realized earlier that something was wrong with "Yu Luying" - even one minute earlier?

If that were the case, the situation might have been very different.

Not to mention that bitch's poor acting skills and flawed words and deeds, I should have been alert long ago just because there was no two-way feedback during the physical contact.

Although we are in the real world, since we have entered the shadow time, we should view it according to the world in the mirror.

It's not surprising that Shadow can transform into any shape at will. The one who hid in the mirror and knocked Shen Jie unconscious a while ago, and threw Shen Jie's shoes out of the mirror, might have been her.

But that thing is not afraid of the Holy Body at all. Could it be a human?

The Mental Fortress can change a human's appearance in the Shadow World, but so far, these changes have been fixed.

As for this kind of arbitrary skill, it is just like Sun Wukong's 72 transformations...

I can only say that blind spots in thinking can kill people, Xiao Yao thought.

While he was fighting bloody battle, he suddenly heard Yu Bo's iconic gunshot coming from a distance, and he was delighted.

Not long after, Yu Bo was seen holding his broken old hunting rifle in one hand and a heavy leather suitcase in the other - it's not quite right to say he was carrying it, he was actually holding it high, because in the same hand he was also holding a communicator and was chattering away.

How can I describe this look? If it weren't for the gun, he would have looked like an office worker who was about to be late.

"Big Sheep?" A familiar male voice said, "Will Big Sheep really rush out of the hotel?"

"Hairtail," the office worker who was about to be late instructed, "Be careful."

"Understood!" A ghostly cry came from the other end of the communicator: "Yahoo~~~"

"Father, this way, this way!" Xiao Yao stretched his head and greeted.

Unexpectedly, when Yu Bo saw him, his expression was as if he had seen a ghost: "How did you come back so soon? Did you find the big sheep?"

Xiao Yao: "I didn't find it. What I found was a fake. Come in and talk about it."

There was no time for idle chat and laughter. Xiao Yao helped Yu Bo to clear a bloody path, and then the two of them closed the small door of the sanctuary and locked it.

Outside the door, the shadows were still howling and banging against the small door.

"Father Yu is just like the police in the movies," Xiao Yao said, "He always waits until the bad guys are almost done with before he shows up with his siren honking."

Yu Bo looked around the monastic chamber, then turned to Xiao Yao and asked in a stern voice, "Where's Shen Jie? You clearly went over there just now, how did you get to the monastic chamber before me?"

Xiao Yao was confused and started to get anxious: "Didn't you rescue Shen Jie? Where is she? Is she okay?"

Yu Bo threw the suitcase to the ground, raised his shotgun, and pointed the two black barrels at Xiao Yao: "I was just talking to you on the communicator. You were obviously still outside with Shen Jie, but when I looked up, I saw you - tell me! Are you a fake!"

"How did I become an impostor?! That one is the impostor!" Xiao Yao was furious: "You actually let the impostor take Shen Jie away?! Wait, how do I know that you are really Father Yu?"

"Nonsense!" Yu Texuan shouted, "Shadow is still kicking the door outside, and you two are here in front of the Holy Body... ahem, you two are here...!"

"Brother, he is indeed the real Xiao Yao, the three of us can testify to that—" Yu Baolu said: "Little brother has never left here and has always been protecting us."

Yu Bo glanced at Yu Texuan, Yu Baolu and Lu Jiya, and was about to put away his shotgun when Xiao Yao rushed over, twisted the muzzle of his gun toward the ceiling, and then slammed him against the wall: "I've been here the whole time, but you came in from outside. Please prove that you are you."

"If you were the real Xiao Yao, you would know that this gun is broken. With this understanding, this gun cannot fire bullets." Yu Bo said, "Then why did you turn the direction of the gun?"

"Since I haven't confirmed your identity, I don't know if the gun is broken or not," Xiao Yao said, "That's not enough. Tell me something that only Bo Ge and I know."

Yu Bo was helpless: "You and I drove together to follow Liang Yanan, and we had a fight, and even broke her glasses."

Yu Texuan exclaimed, "You are still in contact with that girl named Liang!?"

Xiao Yao ignored Yu Texuan and continued to ask: "When you confessed to Liang Yanan in college, how did she reject you?"

"High school, high school classmates!" Yu Bo lowered his voice and said, "The elders are here, don't mess around."

"Do you still love her?" Xiao Yao asked.
