On the other side of the spectrum, time goes back a bit.

Black caves, shanty towns.

The living room of Irene's house flickered with a burst of holy light, and when the light and shadow dissipated, it was the mother and daughter who had been teleported back from the sewers of the church.

Looking at the familiar environment around her, the girl was completely relieved, she hugged her mother in her arms, and hurriedly ran to the back room, and carefully put Nolan on the bed to lie down.

Later, Irene came to the kitchen and wanted to cook something for her mother, but unfortunately as soon as she opened the refrigerator, the emptiness inside made the girl realize that she had experienced too much these days and couldn't take care of this family at all.

In desperation, the girl had no choice but to call Brian for help, and at the same time give Brian a safe life.

From receiving a call from Irene to rushing over, maybe it took less than ten minutes? Brian, who was carrying large bags of condolences and supplies, appeared in front of Irene panting.

He briefly glanced at the girl, and after not missing an arm or leg, he rushed to the back room, and saw Nolan lying on the bed, although his face was haggard and weak, but at least his breathing was steady, and there was nothing serious, and the anxious look on Brian's face eased somewhat.

When he came out of the back room, he saw Irene, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, who had obviously rescued Nolan, but was still distracted and didn't know what he was thinking.

"What about Liao Ji?"

"Huh!?"

"Oh he, he said he still had something. We're separated." Irene's voice became quieter and quieter, and her gaze lowered even more, and the expression on her face was a little dark.

Seeing the girl's appearance, Brian understood a lot in an instant, he sighed in his heart, didn't ask any more, walked over and patted Irene on the shoulder, changed the topic and comforted:

"Okay, I'm definitely hungry, this time I'll show you my craft!"

After a while, the aroma of porridge filled the room.

Maybe it was also affected by the smell of the food, and there was some rustling from the back room, and Irene immediately ran over to find Nolan, who had woken up, trying to sit up from the bed.

"Mom!" After Irene hurriedly helped out, tears poured out uncontrollably, and she lay in Nolan's arms and rubbed non-stop.

At first, the young woman on the bed was stunned by the change in her daughter's hairstyle and the long hair that had been untied, but soon Nolan stroked it with her hand and kept gently patting Irene on the back to signal that she was fine.

After the mother and daughter comforted each other, Nolan seemed to be a little uncontrollable, and asked the girl:

"Irene, I. I'm not sure if it's my hallucination, but there were two other people there besides you, right? ”

After seeing the girl nod, a look of excitement suddenly appeared on Nolan's face, and even covered up the original weakness and haggardness, she turned her head to look out the window, and muttered:

"I knew that. The goddess did not leave us, never left us believers."

It's okay that Nolan didn't say it, but when he said it, Irene next to him was a little angry, what does this have to do with the goddess? It's them! It's the credit of Liao Ji and Maria!

She hated her mother's "stubborn" faith, obviously they had been betrayed by the church once six years ago, but her mother still believed in the goddess, and now six years later, a similar scene is happening again, and it is even worse, even terrifying!

The church is completely finished! The goddess has long since ceased to exist! Irene has a rare tantrum with her mother, and she hopes that her mother will stop being obsessed! She didn't want to see her mother murdered by the church again!

"No, Irene. I'll admit the rest of my mistakes, but the light of the goddess. That light is the same as it has been for six years, and I will not admit it wrong. Nolan shook his head.

"Six years. Since? ”

"Well, in fact, I have a premonition about my sickness, but every night, when I pray to the goddess, when I fall asleep, I feel a holy light washing my body, although it is very weak, but it is still helping me to relieve the pollution in my body, I think, if it is not for that faint light. Maybe I won't be able to survive until now, right? ”

"I know you're going to say it's just a mother's hallucination, and that's why I never told you, until last night, in that dark sewer, I actually saw it. Lady Goddess. ”

"Wait a minute! Mom, what the hell are you talking about? Last night, the goddess?? ”

The more Irene listened, the more confused she became.

Or, from her mother's words, the uneasiness in Irene heart when she was separated from Liao Ji became more and more intense.

"Yes, at that time, my mother had dreamed that she had become the same monster as the surroundings, wandering in the sewers, it was a nun who appeared in front of my mother, and used the holy light to help me reverse the pollution in my body, so that I was already mutated at that time, and I returned to human form, now think about it, it must be the messenger of Lord Sytheia, right?"

Looking at the mother who nodded on the bed and showed a look of memory, if the mother really didn't lie, it wasn't an illusion.

So.

In fact, long before they came today, there was a nun who found her mother in the sewer in advance and helped her mother curb the turbidity? It was because of the help of the nuns that the mother was able to hold them up?

"Mom! Tell me, is the nun who saved you last night the same person as the one who is with me today!? ”

An extremely bad thought came to Irene's mind, causing her to think about it in great fear and ask Nolan in a hurry, and Nolan, although she was not sure, told Irene that their "Holy Light" abilities felt the same way to her.

Same

That's right, it's the same person

Irene, who came to this conclusion, instantly stood on the bristles.

Because you can know by sorting out the timeline, Maria actually contacted her mother before she contacted them, and even deliberately "half-cured" her mother.

Why would she do it?

The answer is self-explanatory.

She used her mother as bait! She's deliberately luring them into the church!!

This explains Maria's magical divination ability, explains her incredible teleportation ability, and explains why they have been so smooth along the way!

So now, the question is only the last one.

Why did Maria do this, and what was her purpose?

Obviously.

The nun's purpose was not to herself and her mother, otherwise they would not have been transported back safely.

With the simplest method of elimination, the only final conclusion can be reached.

Maria's goal.

Liao Ji!

"It's broken, old antique. There is danger!! ”
