Chapter 3 Hello, Douglas

Thank you for the invitation, you have just crossed over, and you are going to spend your life in the bureau?

It's all talented, and they speak nicely, I like it here?

Phew!

In the past 23 years of abiding by the law in her previous life, Jing Wenying, who liked to mention many good students, twitched the corners of her eyebrows, dispelling the rotten stalks in her head.

No, you can't get caught. The loss of her personal freedom means that she has lost the opportunity to explore the occult and find a way to travel back!

Through the combing of the memories of the original owner in the past two days and the observation of the surrounding environment, Jing Wenying has understood that the technological level of this world is about the same as that of the industrial revolution on the earth, and the Ruen Kingdom in which he is located is similar to Britain at that time in terms of customs, clothing and food.

This made her simply cut off the idea of relying on high-tech products such as time machines to solve the problem of time travel.

Fortunately, there is still a occult system in this world, which gives Jing Wenying some hope.

Douglas is currently only a sequence nine, which is the nadir of all extraordinary pathways. The higher the sequence, the more powerful and treacherous the extraordinary ability will become, and at the level of sequence four, it can already be called a demigod and half human!

Since there is God in this world, what man cannot do, God may be able to do? Like traveling through time and space?

In order to travel back, she will undoubtedly have to work hard to find opportunities for promotion, so that she can get in touch with more mysteries and more extraordinary!

"However, it has been nine years since Douglas became an extraordinary, and he still hasn't found a potion recipe corresponding to Sequence Eight......"

Consider the exorbitant prices of the extraordinary objects and materials that Douglas had seen in the underground gatherings, which were often hundreds or thousands of pounds...... Jing Wenying closed her eyes a little desperately after making a simple conversion in her heart.

Just now she was thinking that it was too rash for Douglasken to accept such an obviously dangerous task for 50 pounds, but now she understood it perfectly.

It's really short of money!

With a long sigh, she straightened up and continued to write on the paper:

"Plan: Leave the church today and grasp the movements of both parties. Like, Is Thomson dead? Did he leave the contact information of the organization behind it? Who is behind the Forde? Returning things to their original owners is the best way to effectively divert the attention of the pursuer and prevent me from being attacked on both sides.

Or find an opportunity to cause a direct collision between the two parties, so that the official can notice the abnormality without reporting. As long as the thing is not in my hands, I will not be a key player, and with proper cover-up, it may not be exposed.

Heaven and earth conscience, I am really just an innocent bounty hunter who was involved in the incident!

Go to the East End first, get the savings you have hidden, inquire about Fude's movements, find an opportunity to get back the entrusted items, and confirm whether there is any contact information in them. Go to the Association of Astronomical Observation Enthusiasts in Joe Wood, which Thomson mentioned, to see if you can get the address of Thomson's home, etc.

The safe house may be under Forde's watch, and a new place to house Veretti will need to be found. ”

After writing this last sentence, the hand holding the pen seems to unconsciously draw several lines under the name "Veretti" to emphasize it. Jing Wenying was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and covered the pen cap, put the pen and ink back in their place, tore off the paper and looked at it several times, and then lit a candle to patiently burn the paper to ashes.

She picked up the tray with the cutlery and went to the backyard of the church to rinse the cutlery with running water and put it back where it should be. After returning to the room, Jing Wenying roughly flipped through the "Sacred Book of Life" of the Mother Earth God Church, learned about the teachings of the Mother God, the creation concept of this world and several other righteous gods, and then began to do stretching exercises and push-ups in the small room, moving the body that had been lying down for two days, and adjusting his state.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, after all the believers in the church hall had left one after another, Jing Wenying found Father Schultz and helped him clean the hall while informing him that he was going to leave in the evening.

The gray-haired priest looked at him with a little surprise when he heard this, and said, "You don't have to be in such a hurry, it's okay to stay until tomorrow morning." ”

Jing Wenying fished the rag out of the basin, wrung it out, and responded with a smile while wiping the candlestick: "Thank you for your kindness, Father, but I have fully recovered, and I am sorry to continue to trouble you." And, um, I have a few more things that I have to do. ”

Father Schultz nodded, and pondered for a moment. Jing Wenying was not in a hurry to leave, and followed the other party to clean the hall together, which was considered to be the room fee for the past few days. She went to the backyard to empty the dirty water and dry the rag, and just as she wanted to say goodbye to the priest, she saw the other man sitting in the front row of the hall and beckoned to her.

After hesitating for a moment, Jing Wenying walked over and sat down next to Father Schultz, following the other party to look up at the sacred emblem of Mother Earth hanging on the wall. After reading the Sacred Book of Life, she was able to recognize that the emblem was composed entirely of ears of wheat, flowers, springs and other symbolic symbols, surrounded by a simple figure of a baby, representing the meaning of life, harvest, motherhood and devotion.

Father Schultz first made a prayer gesture similar to that of a baby in his arms, and then turned to Jing Wenying and said bluntly: "In fact, the Church of the Mother God is preparing to carry out a certain range of missions in Beckland in order to expand its influence. But as you can see, we don't have enough people, and although the church headquarters promises some help, given the complexity of the situation, help won't come too quickly. ”

Jing Wenying's eyes widened in surprise as she listened.

She was not surprised to hear the missionary implications of the first sentence. After all, this is still a church, not the Red Cross, and even if the ultimate goal of saving people is to increase the number of believers, she can accept it.

But the latter words, how does it sound so much like a job advertisement......

And...... This also ...... Too, too casual? It's normal to let yourself believe in Mother Earth God, but you save someone casually on the side of the road, and then you want him to join the church to get the organization?

Well, it's even more outrageous when this person is still a wild extraordinary.

The priest seemed to see her doubts, and said with a smile: "Hehe, since fate has guided you to the church, it means that this is the arrangement of Mother God, the will of Mother God, and the mercy of Mother God, so that you have the opportunity to choose again." ”

Yes, this kind of logic of fooling oneself finally has a bit of a magic stick, but why don't I remember that the Mother Goddess will be mixed with fate in the "Holy Book of Life......

Jing Wenying muttered in her heart, but she tried to make a confused and surprised expression on her face to try to confirm again: "Then, what do you mean......?" ”

"I mean," explained the priest patiently, "if you can't find a place to go, you can stay here – as long as you believe in the Mother Goddess from now on and swear in front of the emblem to live out the teachings of the Mother Goddess and spread His Gospel in front of the emblem." ”

opened her mouth to make a shocked expression, and Jing Wenying urgently calculated in her heart.

Honestly, it's a tempting proposition. Father Schultz's good deeds of being willing to rescue a stranger and the teachings of praising life and harvest, advocating devotion and help written in the canon of Mother Earth God have long swiped a wave of favorability in Jing Wenying's heart.

At the same time, for her who is involved in trouble, with the church as a backing, things will be much easier - even in the weak Beckland Church of Mother Earth God, which is the official power of the Eight Classics.

But, regardless of Douglas's status as a wild extraordinary, the real problem is that it is difficult for Jing Wenying to convince herself to use this life to serve the gods and throw her whole life into the church.

It's one thing to have a good feeling, it's another thing to have faith. Just like in her previous life, she was asked to go to the temple to burn incense and worship during the New Year's holidays, and it was no problem to donate some donations, but it was obviously impossible for her to shave her hair on the spot and take refuge in Buddhism.

Moreover, it may be difficult for you to be in the church to have access to occult knowledge that is not outside the rules. According to the general religious line of thought, the understanding of "crossing" should be something that defiles the soul by the devil's possession of the body, and the solution is probably to burn people at the stake, and dare not think about it...... Jing Wenying felt that the occult knowledge that could truly solve the problem of "crossing over" was probably not available within the church.

Thinking of this, Jing Wenying sighed sincerely: "Thank you, Father Schultz, Iβ€”I don't know how to describe my mood at the moment. It's justβ€”"

It's just nothing like the temptation to go home......

"I'm so ashamed that I can't promise you right now." "I do have some things to attend to, I need to see my family...... And, uh, I have to confess to you......"

Under the soft gaze of Father Schultz, Jing Wenying opened her eyes with a little guilt and said nonsense: "In the past few days, I have received your help and read the holy scriptures, I have indeed felt the love and tolerance of the mother goddess to the world, and I feel that the mercy of the mother goddess has given me a new life, and I have believed in the mother goddess from the bottom of my heart......"

Editing this, she couldn't help but think of a sentence: It is Douglas who believes in the mother goddess, what does it have to do with me Jing Wenying?

Urgently expelling this idea of making herself laugh out of her mind, Jing Wenying continued: "But I have done a lot of wrong things in my past life, and I am afraid that I am not qualified to serve the mother goddess......"

She briefly recounts the sins committed by the original "Douglas", except for the parts that were once the underline of the covert organization and those that may be serious enough to be sentenced, with a certain words of repentance.

Although I am not prepared to actually work in the church, there are only advantages and no disadvantages in disguising my faith, and if nothing else, the medical technology of the Mother Earth God Church is too tempting. Moreover, such a euphemism is more acceptable than a direct rejection.

Father Schultz did not force anything, but reached out and touched her forehead and chest a few times, whispered a few words of explanation and encouragement, and said: "Believe that Mother God will always watch over her pious children, and in the future you must follow Mother God's teachings and do not do unrighteous things...... Go, you have been reborn, may the Mother God bless you. ”

"Praise be to the Mother Goddess!"

Jing Wenying solemnly followed the other party to make a prayer gesture like a baby in her arms, then got up, saluted Father Schultz with her hand on her chest, turned around and walked out of the Harvest Church along the aisle, and came to Yuejihua Street.

Pedestrians on the street raised their collars to ward off the cold wind, and walked in a hurry on the way home, and no one paid much attention to the strange man standing on the side of the street in a daze.

Hehe, this must be the first time I've set foot in a foreign land...... Standing on a street completely different from her past life, the sense of strangeness and alienation that came to her face made Jing Wenying smile bitterly and hooked the corners of her mouth. She strolled to the window of the shop on the street, and for the first time took a serious look at her new shell through the reflection of the glass.

Some of the worn glass windows reflected a man with short, messy black hair and sunken eye sockets, who looked to be in his mid-twenties, with a dull old scar on the left side of his face. The facial features have nothing to do with handsomeness, but they are quite decent, at least walking at night will not scare people.

It is important to note that a man's eyes are a very light light brown color, and if they are illuminated by sunlight or lights, the color will be reflected in a lighter yellow.

Compared with other people, the color of these eyes is abnormally light, but the hair color and skin color are completely normal, not like albinism or a defect in the synthetic pigment in the body. As long as your eyesight is fine.

As she moved, the man reflected in the glass raised his hand and straightened his forehead, revealing a piece of gauze wrapped around his forehead. On the whole, the man is about 1.8 meters tall, but due to perennial physical labor, his shoulders are slightly slanted, and his back is also a little hunched; He has a leaner physique, but the hard muscles attached to his arms and torso prove that he is not a bully.

Jing Wenying smiled, so she grinned when she saw the man's reflection, and smiled a little silly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Hello, Douglas. Jing Wenying lowered her voice a little complicatedly, and said to herself, "It's nice to meet you, and at the same time, I'm sorry, I took your body and took your life, although I don't want to ...... like this."

She was silent for a few seconds, then sighed uncontrollably.

"You're not a good person, but you don't sin to death...... May you rest in peace, if there is an afterlife in this world, I wish you can grow up safely by your family's side and live an ordinary but happy life......"

The man in the reflection lowered his head slightly, his lips twitching and muttering.

"You've worked hard all these years. I'll do my best to take care of the people you care about and then ...... Alas. I don't know yet. In short, I want to learn from you and try to live...... Survive, preferably, can find a way back......"

After the words fell, silence took up again for a few minutes. In the end, Jing Wenying shook her head, as if she wanted to leave all her worries behind.

The reflection on the glass shook its head, then smiled lightly, reaching out as if to caress its own cheek. The deep voice sounded again:

"Hello. I am...... Douglas. ”
