Chapter 342: The Secret of the Wall
"What's going on over there? Who's making the noise? ”
Saitama and Hanji were chatting about Reiner and Hoover, two human traitors with the ability to transform into giants, when they suddenly heard a commotion in the distance, and the two of them got closer, and finally heard what the man was chattering about.
"Maria, Ruth, Sheena! Pray for the well-being of the three goddesses and pray that they will bless us! ”
"The three walls created by the hands of the gods will be strengthened by the heart of our faith! We will not allow suspicion of the sacred walls and the desecration of them! ”
"Believing in the gods' immaculate heart is the fundamental thing to protect us from the giants, and the only force that can repel the giants!" At this moment, in front of the wall stood a middle-aged man in his fifties wearing a priestly robe.
"Who's that guy? Where is the babble and what inexplicable things are said? It seems to be a priest......" Saitama asked.
"Oh, isn't that guy Father Nick, that guy founded a church that enclosed the walls, and preached to the outside world that the three walls of Mary, Ruth and Sheena were created by the hands of the gods, sacred and inviolable, so every time the logistics engineering troops reinforced the walls, this guy would appear to obstruct us, I think this is complete nonsense, but there are really fools who believe it."
"In the past, there were many believers in this walled church, but now there are fewer and fewer believers."
Han Ji said with a smile.
"Oh? Why are there fewer believers? Is it because you have to charge a fee, can't afford to pay for it, or do you see the nature of this person's liar? Saitama asked.
"Huh? Saitama, don't you even know? What is the largest church right now? ”
"Huh? How would I know about such a boring thing......" Saitama frowned, obviously a little uninterested in this kind of topic.
When Han Ji heard Saitama say this, he laughed a few times and said, "Now the biggest church is called 'Bald God Church', and the god that those people worship is Saitama!" Han Ji's words made Saitama feel a little surprised, every time he traveled before, he would indeed meet a lot of brainless people like the fans, but Saitama didn't expect to form a huge church.
"So, is this like a fan support group?" Saitama pinched her chin and muttered to herself.
However, at this moment, Father Nick was still standing in front of the wall, shouting loudly, trying to obstruct the reinforcement and repair work of the logistics engineering team, but no one paid attention to him at all, even so, even if he was expelled, Father Nick still did not give up.
Han Ji was a little annoyed: "Hey, Father Nick, it's almost done, it's getting dark, it may be dangerous to stay here, let's go home early." ”
Father Nick apparently didn't care about Hanji's advice, and continued to go his own way and shout loudly about the teachings of the Church of the Wall.
At this time, suddenly there was a panicked shout from the busy logistics engineering troops,
"What's going on over there with the engineers?" Before Han Ji's questioning voice fell, an engineer hurriedly ran over: "Captain Han Ji!" Saitama Chief Instructor! Come and see this! ”
"Huh? What's the situation? Han Ji and Saitama were puzzled, and were about to follow the logistics engineer to see the situation, and at the same time, Father Nick, who had just chattered, suddenly quieted down, staring at a few people without saying a word, not only that, but Father Nick's expression was not very good-looking, and that look was even more fearful and desperate than being found out by his wife.
"That's it!" The engineer said, pointing to a broken wall.
Han Ji and Saitama followed the engineer of the logistics department to the location, and looked in the direction of the engineer's finger, which was also very surprised, especially Han Ji was dumbfounded, almost unable to believe what he saw in front of him.
At the broken wall, half of the giant's face was revealed, and if you looked closely, it was not difficult to see that the giant's eyes were rolling from time to time, and it was obvious that the giant was alive.
"Giant ......"
"Why are there giants in the walls?"
Everyone was puzzled, and many logistics engineers looked tense, as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Captain Hanji, Chief Instructor Saitama! What do we do next? The giant......"
At this moment, Han Ji was already confused: "Did that giant appear there by chance?" If it weren't for that, would the walls be full of giants? ”
"The walls are all stuffed with giants?" Han Ji looked stunned and muttered to herself, she was about to talk to Saitama, when suddenly a hand grabbed Han Ji's shoulder.
Han Ji looked back and said with some surprise: "Father Nick? What are you doing? ”
"Can't! Don't let that giant shine into the sun......"
"Whatever you use, whatever you want! Hurry up and find something to cover the hole in that wall and cover it! Hurry up! ”
Father Nick's abnormal reaction made both Saitama and Hanji feel that something was wrong, but Father Nick's suggestion was right, just like the results of Hanji's previous experiments, the giant's activity will gradually slow down until it stops in the darkness without daylight, but once it receives sunlight, the giant will regain the ability to move.
Saitama also used to joke that these giants had solar cells in their bodies.
However, the immediate need was to cover up the hole in the wall, which was not difficult for the logistics engineers, who improvised a few opaque tarpaulins to cover the hole in the wall where half of the giant's face was exposed.
"For now, the formal repair work will take place after nightfall, and when the time comes, it will be fixed with fast-setting cement, and the other damaged areas around it will be repaired as soon as possible." Han Ji said in a calm voice.
Father Nick's whole body was lying on the edge of the wall, staring cautiously at a pair of eyes, looking at the wall carefully, and after hearing Han Ji's words, he felt a lot more relieved: "That's good......"
"Did any residents see this?" Father Nick asked again.
"Nearby residents had been evacuated before this, but there is no complete guarantee that the news has not been leaked." Han Ji said.
Hearing Han Ji say this, Father Nick looked a little lost, his head hung down, and he couldn't stop sighing.
"By the way, why are the giants in the city walls, do you know anything about Father Nick?"
That's when Saitama asked.
"yes, you should tell us at this time, right?"
However, hearing such an obvious question between the two, Father Nick was pretending to be stupid: "What do you want me to say?" ”
"What the hell is this giant? Why are you inside the walls, and what are you hiding? Please answer me. ”
However, Father Nick didn't intend to answer, but stood up without saying a word, his brows furrowed, and even looked at Han Ji and Saitama with very unkind eyes: "That's not good, I'm busy, and my church has suffered losses in this incident, you need to compensate me." ”
"Okay, you can give me an explanation after the compensation, I'm going to go down from here now." Father Nick had a bad attitude.
"Father Nick, aren't you really going to tell us the truth?" Saitama asked.
"I've said I'm busy and I don't know anything, okay, get me down from here."
"Eh, well, in that case, I'll send you down." Saitama said as she kicked Father Nick in the buttocks, kicking him straight down.
