Recently, the weather has become hotter, and many people in Brunei have changed into short shirts, and those high-ranking priests have already changed into silk priest robes.

Nya was still wearing a thick winter coat and a big beret on her head.

She hid around the corner of the alley, brushed off her sweat-soaked bangs, and peeked her head out to look at the busy street.

"The tithes collected this time are a bit small."

Although they were wearing priest's robes, the two young men who looked like hooligans in their temperament weighed the money bags in their hands and said as if no one was around: "In this way, it is not easy for the brothers to start taking the card." ”

"It is said that there is a fertile field outside the city that is about to be harvested and suddenly collapsed into a sinkhole, so the tax collected is so small." The slightly fatter one shook the fat on his face in dissatisfaction, and told his companion what he had heard from the others.

"There's no way, go and scrape some copper from those guys in the slums, although there is not much oil and water, but it's better than nothing."

The tall and thin man smacked his lips unhappily and stuffed the not full money bag into his clothes.

"I've heard that Bishop Grenie is already investigating those who levy harsh taxes on the untouchables, so I think it's better to stop a little bit......

The slightly chubby man hesitated: "After all, the Church has stipulated from the beginning that those untouchables who are poor enough not to pay taxes. ”

"Phew, what are you afraid of, do those muddy grass roots (a swear word in Brunei that describes people from low backgrounds) still have the audacity to report me Uncle Lennar?" The tall and thin man spat disdainfully: "If you don't go, Lao Tzu will go alone, but you don't want the money!" ”

"Who said no!" The fat man shook his fat. He snorted like a pig: "I'm just kindly reminding you!" ”

The salary of the Necessary Evil Church is not much, although it is enough for ordinary people to live, but it is not enough for them to enter the Necessary Evil Church through connections and profligate the guys, so they have to think of ways to make money.

Just as the two of them were about to move towards the slums, a thin, dirty figure suddenly collided with the tall and thin one and fell to the ground.

"Little ghost, don't you walk with long eyes!"

The tall and thin man saw that the silk robe on his body was stained with a lot of mud, and immediately kicked the figure a few times in anger, and the figure did not dare to resist, and fell to the ground without much sound.

"It's bad luck."

Spat at the filthy imp. The tall and thin man and the fat man with a gloating face moved on.

Didn't take a few steps. He touched his arms as if he suddenly thought of something, his face changed, and he turned to look at it suddenly, but the figure that had fallen to the ground had long since disappeared: "Damn mud shit grass roots!" He stole my money! ”

Gritting his teeth, he immediately chased after the fat man.

Although the opponent is more flexible. But after all, they are small. The legs are also short. And although the tall, thin and fat man looked like they were not diligent, they were actually in good shape as a scoundrel, so it didn't take long for the two of them to block the little man.

"The stinky little ghost actually dares to steal my things! Look for death! ”

The tall and thin man yelled. With a hideous expression on his face, he kicked at the short figure.

At this moment, the short man suddenly took out a silver, extremely delicately made pocket watch from his bosom, and pressed the button on the pocket watch with a very rapid movement.

So the world stopped.

Except for the short ones...... In other words, outside of Naya, the entire world world, including the tall and thin people who were still in mid-air and making flying kicks, all stopped and lost their color, and the originally vibrant city of Brunei suddenly became a world world dominated by black, white and gray.

Neya straightened the beret on his head that was too big and covered nearly half of his head, and then ran to the tall and thin man, hanging in the air, he pushed and pulled, and finally got in front of the fat man, as long as this flying kicking action continued, it is estimated that the fat man will be kicked out of the way.

After doing all this, the girl smiled and slipped into the alley next to her.

Stagnant time. This is the effect of the "Clock of Time Eater", the soul tool she holds.

It's just that this powerful ability also has many flaws, the most difficult of which is for her to accept, which is the time when time stands still.

At first, time stood still for about a minute, which made it very convenient for her, and many things that would have risked her life were suddenly made so much easier.

This must be a gift from the gods.

That's what the girl thought at the time.

However, as the number of uses increases, so does the stagnation time – which may seem like a good thing at first glance, but it is not.

In the world where everything is static, being alone for a long time is probably the best thing to experience loneliness.

There is no one to talk to, food and water become so hard that it takes a lot of effort to open even a door.

So the later it gets, the more the girl doesn't want to use this soul device.

Walking through the familiar alley, walking through the porch, desperately pushing open the dilapidated wooden door that could not even block the wind in the past, but now it was as heavy as a stone door, the expression on the girl's face softened suddenly.

In the dilapidated thatched hut, a few children who were as dirty as she was, and who were much younger than her, were doing what they could.

When he put the money bag in his arms on the table, the soft money bag suddenly became as hard as a stone.

Finding a haystack and sitting down, the girl put her hands on her cheeks and looked at the orphans she had adopted with soft eyes.

"The last time there was a one-year pause...... This time, it will be at least a year and a half......"

Although I won't be hungry, how can I get rid of this boredom?

That's why I don't want to use this......

The girl sighed and cupped her cheek, the expression on her face gradually replaced by a blank look.

The more she used the soul device, the more she realized that she couldn't do without this treasure, and in fact, after discovering that the people of the Evil Church of Necessity seemed to be searching for her, the panic in the girl's heart became even worse.

She's just an ordinary thief.

In the face of the behemoth of the Church of Necessary Evil, the only means that can protect oneself is the "Clock of Time Eater".

The more you don't want to use it, the more you have to use it.

Maybe you can get through this loneliness for a year or two, but what if you continue like this?

100 years, 200 years...... When the time comes, will you be able to ensure that your mind will not be swallowed up by the long time and loneliness?

This must be the devil's bait.

Unfortunately, it seems that it is too late to understand this.

Just when the girl felt sorry for herself, a sudden voice scared her half to death.

"Although it was just a casual guess...... But it's really the "Clock of Time", ah......" (to be continued......)
