As the night wore on, the streets were filled with more and more pedestrians, and terror enveloped the city, frantically seeking a glimmer of life.

Mavi stood in the kitchen, holding Yunia in his arms, a golden pocket watch in his hand, and the table in front of him was set up with Mrs. Cecil's dinner, which was already a little cold.

"Daddy...."

Unia, curled up in his arms, was as light as a feather, her brows were furrowed by pain, her petite body trembled slightly, and her consciousness gradually became confused, and her mouth kept calling for her father.

"I'm here."

"Well... Cold..."

Ma Wei looked at the stove beside him, the bright red embers mixed with black impurities, exuding a warm scent.

The kitchen was definitely not cold, on the contrary, it was a little stuffy, but Ma Wei knew that the cold that Yunia felt was not cold in her body, but from the depths of her soul.

She's going to disappear.

"Don't be afraid... Daddy is here. Mavi reassured, and the arm holding Yunia tightened a little more.

At this moment, twenty-five minutes had passed since Fat Orange went out of the house, and in the meantime he had Mrs. Cecil go back to her room upstairs, boil two pots of holy water, and take out all the dried fish and canned food in the house.

He has done everything he can, the rat carrying the curse caught everyone off guard, there is no other better way right now, if Fat Orange and Little Black can't bring good news....

He had no choice but to open the doors of the church and distribute all the holy water, so as to temporarily increase the number of believers and ensure that Yunia lived.

He didn't care about the consequences of doing so.

In the blink of an eye, Yunia was on the verge of collapse, and seeing this, Mavi sighed and prepared to open the door to attract the people praying for salvation in the street.

That's when ....

"Meow!"

A cat meow from outside the window caught his attention.

After three steps and two steps, Ma Wei rushed to the window, pushed it open, and saw a scene that he would never forget.

Countless cats leaped up to the walls, roofs, and branches of the churches, and sat obediently in all the spaces where they could stay, and their cries came one after another, and their fur was like a field of flowers all over the valley.

Stray cats from all over the city are coming.

They came together, opening a gap to welcome the newborn Orange Emperor and his feline legs.

Chubby orange little black!

"I'm back."

Fat Orange came to Ma Wei and said, "There are a total of 1,535 stray cats in New Ross City, except for kittens and old cats that can't move, the remaining 986 are all here. ”

"So you're really ambitious...."Ma Wei smiled.

"The hosts! Meow of the host! Blackie also helped! Praise me, praise meow! ”

Patting Xiao Hei's head casually, Ma Wei took a deep breath and said in a solemn tone: "Without further ado, let's start the baptism and registration." ”

"Hmm." Fat Orange nodded, raised his paws, and gave the first order: "All cats line up according to their size and enter the church in turn to be baptized by the priest!" ”

"Meow!"

Under the command of Fat Orange and Xiao Hei, nearly a thousand cats lined up in an orderly and orderly manner, climbed into the church from the window, and walked gracefully to Ma Wei standing in front of the statue.

In order to welcome this group of heretics, Ma Wei took out a brand new register from the drawer, and the cats only had to lower their heads and let him tap their eyebrows with their fingers dipped in holy water, and then press their plum blossom paw prints on the register to receive a small dried fish or a piece of canned meat.

The small dried fish and canned meat stored at home are simply not enough to feed nearly 1,000 cats, so Ma Wei had to issue a 'small dried fish collection certificate' - a note with the word "small dried fish" written on it, in place of small dried fish or canned meat.

As the baptism ritual progressed, Yunia's illusory body gradually solidified, and wisps of dark red light flew out of the cats' foreheads and drifted into her body.

Halfway through the baptismal ceremony, Yunia opened her eyes, and their eyes shone with the same spirit as before.

The cats gathered at her feet, rubbing their heads around, constantly coquettish and cute, trying to win the favor of the goddess.

Yunia giggled at them, and Xiao Hei snorted dissatisfied: "It's all a group of bewitching sluts..."

"Xiao Hei, come here."

"Here comes meow! Here comes the meow! ”

Hearing Yunia's call, Xiao Hei immediately abandoned the work of commanding the team, rushed over, and squeezed away the cats around the other party's feet.

"Thank you, Blackie."

Yunia kissed it: "If it weren't for Dad, Fat Orange and you, Yunia would not have recovered." ”

Xiao Hei was stunned for a while, and then cried with a 'wow': "Xiao Hei... Xiao Hei knew that the goddess would remember Xiao Hei's meow..."

Then, the little black snake climbed onto Yunia's lap with the stick, and while accepting the touch of the goddess, she showed a triumphant smile to the envious cats around her.

After the baptism ceremony was completed, Fat Tangerine found Ma Wei, who was relieved, and asked, "What are you going to do next?" Although the crisis of Goddess Yunia has been temporarily resolved, the city is still in chaos, and if it is not stopped, I am afraid that there will be a riot. ”

In areas with poor living conditions, rats can be seen everywhere, but in those luxurious residences and palaces, rats are a rare species, so everyone wants to escape to a place where there are no rats, and the officials and nobles are completely angry with their actions to protect themselves.

"I've already figured out what to do."

Ma Wei put away the roster of cats and cats, and said his plan: "In any case, we can't be like those officials and nobles, abandon believers and commoners, and it is not the truth to protect ourselves. ”

"The top priority is to stabilize the situation first."

"What's your solution?"

"First of all," Ma Wei held up a finger, "we need to rid the city of rats, they are the source of disaster, and if we don't deal with the cursed rats in time, the situation will never be stable." ”

Who are the natural predators of rats?

Cats!

Cats and mice are good at catching mice, and thousands of cats and cats can definitely eliminate the threat in the city in a short time.

This is the first step in Mavi's plan.

"Even if we solve the rats in the city, the curse that has spread still can't be solved, if we use the power of the goddess's gift to save believers and civilians, we will definitely be targeted by other big churches!"

"That's the second thing I'm going to say...."

Ma Wei grinned: "Each cat must carry a small bottle of holy water, and in the process of catching mice, distribute the holy water to the people infected by the curse, so that the trouble caused by the curse can be solved." ”

Fat Tangerine frowned: "Of course, we can save civilians by doing this, but we are thankless, and we have paid so much that we finally made wedding dresses for other churches!" ”

"You don't need a reason to save people."

"But for the church to grow, it must seize the opportunity!"

"Don't worry.... I have a third trick that is enough to gain fame and fortune without exposing the church. ”
