Chapter 44: Rain

Feeling the clenching force coming from the corner of his clothes behind, which was not too big but unusually persistent, Liao Ji was forced to stop and turn around again.

In fact, he has a hundred reasons to ignore it and just throw himself away.

But what about it...

The other party just hit the point, and that may be the only reason why I have to stop.

After all, a homeless wandering nun had said something similar to him.

But Liao Ji clearly remembered that the little nun at that time was much worse than the current one, unclothed, skinny, and hungry with only her last breath, because on the way to flee the monster, she gave her food to others, constantly overdrew herself, and used her ability to treat others.

As a result, the "others" did manage to escape to the shelter in the big city, but she could only stagger, dying at the door of a newly established small broken gathering place.

It's a bit of a touch.

Liao Ji pulled his thoughts back to reality.

He didn't refuse or reply at first, but swept his eyes up and down, and looked again at the nun sleeping next to the trash can.

Although the nun's suit was dirty and wet, at least it was still intact, and there were not even any signs of patches.

The little face is pitiful and helpless, but in fact, the real complexion is not bad, if the dust and mud that stick to it are cleaned well, Liao Ji thinks that it will reveal a pair of white and delicate skin.

Life is indeed better five hundred years later, but not to that extent.

Liao Ji's evaluation is that letting Irene run over to play this role is more like a wanderer picking up garbage to eat than the current nun.

"What's your name?"

"Ma... Maria. The nun replied weakly.

"If you are really a nun, why is it like this, why don't you go to the church, in the black hole... No, even if you look at the whole holy country, nuns should be considered one of the best-paying professions, right? ”

Faced with Liao Ji's reversal when he came up, Maria looked a little scared and shrunk her neck pitifully, but unfortunately this set didn't seem to have any effect on Liao Ji.

Seeing that the young man would turn away if she did not speak again, Maria hastened to explain:

"It's because... I, I and the church's beliefs are different. ”

"I..."

"I don't believe in the so-called... The goddess..."

As she spoke, Maria pursed her lips and lowered her gaze, but the stubbornness and persistence on her face did not waver.

It's like a lonely brave man who is swimming against the current, even if he is down, he must insist on not colluding with the pedantic church and not believing in the "hypocritical" goddess.

She believes that the young people who have investigated so many "insiders" must be in this mood, right?

on this.

Liao Ji nodded, indicating that he understood very much, and then spoke:

"I'm sorry, I can't take you in."

"I... I can do a lot of things! Washing dishes, cooking, ironing, cleaning... Even if there is something I can't learn, I'll learn! Whatever you ask for, I... I can... And me, I have a small appetite! Just a little bit of food, I don't need a bed, just a little bit of floor for me, I..."

It seemed that she had expected that it would not be so easy for Liao Ji to take her in, and Maria began to beg bitterly.

But unfortunately, the young man's next words were completely beyond her expectations, which made the unprepared nun stunned, and for a while she couldn't even say the many drafts she had typed in her heart, and became dumb.

Only heard...

"No, no, no, it has nothing to do with this, it's a more principled issue."

"To put it simply..."

"You don't believe in the goddess, but I do, and I am Lord Sthetia, the most faithful and devout believer."

Saying that, Liao Ji was still afraid that Maria on the other side would not believe it, so he took out a silver cross from his pocket and shook it in front of Maria's eyes as a proof of it.

It can be seen that in the rainy night, the little silver light emanating from the cross can be more highlighted, which can not be done by imitation and shoddy products, but only the authentic cross issued by the Church and containing the holy power of the goddess can do this.

After all...

If it were a fake cross, the people of Kaleva would not have taken it out and used it as "protective clothing" for the members of the factory.

Yes, this is exactly what he and Irene impersonated as gang members just a few hours ago, and when they entered the Turbid Factory.

But it doesn't matter how it came about.

You can tell if it's a genuine cross!

"You have a different faith from me, and I can not be hostile to you out of respect for freedom of faith, but you said that you still want me to take you in..."

Liao Ji shook his head resolutely.

Then he said in a firm tone that was not negotiable: "I will not be friends with a person who does not believe in goddesses." ”

Liao Ji, who put down this sentence, at the same time ruthlessly pulled the corner of his clothes out of Maria's hand, turned around and left, leaving only a nun who was still frozen in place.

One seemed a little dazed, as if Maria had not recovered from "some kind of energy".

Fortunately, seeing that the young man was about to disappear, Maria quickly patted her face, and then rubbed it vigorously several times until the corners of her mouth finally stopped rising wildly.

Da Da...

There was a galloping sound of stepping on the rain behind him, and Liao Ji didn't have to look back to know who it was.

Just when he started to frown, a little impatient...

"Sir! That... Actually, there is another reason why I ask you to take me in, whether you accept me or not, I implore you... You can listen to what I'm going to say! ”

"I... I'm actually a Doom, and my awakened ability is... Divination, to a certain extent, I can spy on the future direction of others, and it is precisely because of this that I want to keep you. ”

Maria took a deep breath, looked at her words, and sure enough, she successfully stopped again, turned her head to look at her youth, and said seriously:

"I see a bad future for you!"

"A bad future?"

"Yes, I'm sorry for snooping on you, but if my abilities are right, you're now... I think I'm going to save people, right? ”

“...”

It's kind of interesting.

Liao Ji nodded to Maria without concealment, and gestured, "Go on." ”

"Because... Because it's in a hurry, the specific... I don't see it clearly, but I can be sure that the person you want to save is safe for the time being, but if you act rashly, it will only backfire, and it will... Hurt her! ”

Maria clenched the last sentence and used "she" instead of "he."

"So you asked me to take you in, in fact, to stop me from saving people and changing this bad world line?"

"Hmm... Mmmmmmmmmm

Then she lowered her head a little embarrassed, like a child who had lied in order to steal candy, and whispered with her fingers twisted together:

"Also, its... Actually, the reason why I can't really go to church is because I'm a doomer, not because of the goddess, I... Actually, I like the goddess too, and I admire the goddess..."

The rain was still falling around, and Liao Ji, who was in the middle of the night, was a little unexpected.

After hesitating, he finally asked:

"How can I trust you?"

"I... I just used it in a hurry, if you don't mind, but... You can take me to your accommodation! Give me something related to the person you want to save, like everyday items, clothes... Trousers... Shoes and the like are fine, and they don't have to be personal, blood relatives can also do it! But it's best to get closer and closer to each other, so that I can rely on them to better activate my ability and perform more results in divination! “

"When the time comes, all you have to do is hear... I'm sure you know that I'm not lying to you! ”

Divination requires a medium, and this is indeed a common setting.

And if you want to say that the place with the most media, it is undoubtedly Irene's home, plus just right, the girl was sent to Brian by herself, which means that Irene's house is empty now.

Liao Ji made a decision in his heart.

"Give me the umbrella."

After taking the umbrella from the nun's hand, Liao Ji opened it again.

He turned around, no longer towards the church, but the location of the slum, fortunately he had asked Irene to take him to his home, so that Liao Ji did not have to worry about the problem of finding the way.

"Let's go, keep up."

The young man moved the umbrella to the side by half a position, and Maria naturally got under Liao Ji's umbrella, as if she had rehearsed this action countless times in her mind.

The subsequent nun, after several attempts quietly, finally held back the desire in her heart, retreated to the second, did not pull Liao Ji's hand, and continued to turn to grab the corner of the young man's clothes.

It's strange to say.

It was the two people who walked away with umbrellas in the night rain, and not long after leaving, the rain in this area began to light suddenly, and it didn't even take a few breaths before it stopped completely.
