After the service, the believers gathered in the temple gradually dispersed, leaving only a man wearing a loose red, black and gold-studded robe.
The man looked to be around forty or fifty years old. He was pale and thin, like a starving person who had not eaten a full meal for a long time. He had thin cheeks and extremely prominent cheekbones, looking like a nutcracker doll.
He is Tujing, the bishop of this temple.
In order to show that everyone is equal in the face of the devil and that everyone has the opportunity to realize their wishes, the bishop would blend into the crowd during worship services and behave like an extremely devout ordinary believer.
This "inadvertent" little action and that extremely special appearance have won Tujing the favor of many believers, and many people even believe that he is the real devil's spokesperson.
The temple became empty and silent, and Tujing let out a creepy "chuckle" sound.
"Today's believers are as lifeless as ever. This pleasant negative emotion will become the best food for the devil. The victims and survivors of the war between Wansheng Kingdom and Rose Empire will also become the cornerstone of the devil's advent.
The only flaw is.”
The smile on Tujing's face disappeared, replaced by a hint of dissatisfaction.
"So many years have passed, and there is still no news of that traitor."
Tu Jing inserted his bony hands into the mess of white hair and scratched frantically, venting his inner dissatisfaction.
“Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it! We are just a little bit away from awakening the ancient demon sir, letting it bring us power, letting it bring us more demon sirs, completely conquering this boring world, and launching a magnificent rebellion against the goddess.
As long as that person wasn't there, everything would be fine.
If he hadn't stolen the orb, the devil would have come to the world long ago.
We gave him so many things, and the devil fulfilled his wishes for him, but he betrayed all of our expectations.
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! "
Repeating the words "damn" and "hateful" over and over again, Tujing continued to scratch his hair in front of the dark sculpture at a frequency so fast that it made people suspect that if he continued scratching like this, he would become bald soon.
But after so long, his hair still hasn't lost any thickness and is still as thick and lush as before, allowing him to vent his inner distress every time.
Suddenly, Tujing stopped scratching his hair, and the creepy laughter echoed in the dark temple again.
"I feel much more refreshed. I have vented all my negative emotions just now, and this will definitely become food for the devil! Hehehe!"
But the echoing sound did not last long, and a series of brisk footsteps broke the mystery in the temple.
A messenger, also wearing a black robe, ran into the Dark Temple and respectfully handed a letter to Tu Jing.
"Bishop Tujing, this is a secret letter from Archbishop Pala Gilas. In addition, the Archbishop asked me to inform you not to forget the upcoming regular meeting. This meeting is very important."
Gently holding the khaki envelope, Tu Jing waved to the messenger and asked him to leave. However, the messenger stayed where he was and did not leave as instructed by Tu Jing.
"Anything else?"
"Bishop Tujing, I have something to report to you in private. The 'customer' in Wansheng Country seems to be dissatisfied with our curse. He hopes that we can use the curse to relocate the expelled person and cast a more vicious curse on him to kill him."
"At this point, you're still not satisfied?"
Tu Jing's sunken eye sockets revealed a hint of dissatisfaction and contempt.
"It was he who asked us to develop that curse and prevented us from killing the expelled one. He didn't deal with it, that's his business, what does it have to do with us
Besides, it’s not like we haven’t helped him locate it before.
If it hasn't been resolved yet, it proves that it's a problem with his strength.
Besides, that was all many years ago. With that kind of curse, even if that guy is still alive, he must be living like a beast now. Maybe he has already become a beast. Nothing can torture his body and mind more than this.
There won't be any danger if we just leave it alone."
"But." The messenger hesitated, "The 'customer' said that he had a premonition that the cursed man would come back in the near future. By then, it would not only be him who would suffer, but also us behind him. That's why he wanted us to locate the guy as soon as possible so that we can kill him together."
Tu Jing had a blank expression on his face, but the contempt in his eyes had not diminished in the slightest.
"If you want to reposition yourself, it's not as simple as just talking. We have to pay a heavy price.
Tell him that if he really wants to reposition it, then ask him to bring his sincerity and call a middleman to negotiate with our archbishop.
If the Archbishop agrees, I have no complaints. If you ask me to go, I will go."
The messenger wanted to say something, but seeing Tu Jing's strange expression, he stopped talking and finally retreated respectfully.
Seeing the messenger leave, a strange blue flame ignited in Tujing's hand. He threw the secret letter into the blue flame, and the secret letter instantly turned into ashes. The black ashes were woven into one word after another in the blue flame.
After carefully reading every word on the blue flame, Tu Jing couldn't help but let out a creepy laugh again.
"Hahaha, you are worthy of being the Archbishop. After such a long time, there is finally some news.
It turned out that the guy still had offspring, and the archbishop also found out the guy's specific identity, knew what he was doing before, and confirmed his death.
That guy must have entrusted the orb to his descendants before he died.
Moreover, his descendants did not know the true function of the pearl. Perhaps they just took it out for fun and took a quick look at it.
And this is enough to provide us with quite a lot of clues.
The location sensed by the Archbishop was within the city of Chuanyang. Judging from the time, they drove out of Chuanyang City early in the morning.
Major events that happened on the same day
There is also the confrontation between the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce and the Silver Orchid Chamber of Commerce. The two can be linked together, and the Archbishop should know more detailed details. No wonder he specifically notified me to attend the meeting next time. It turned out to be for this matter.
Speaking of which, the Silver Orchid Chamber of Commerce recently moved to the territory of Setis in disgrace.
With a little effort, we should be able to know what will be discussed in the meeting in advance. It is really exciting.”
The creepy "Chuckles" of laughter echoed in the temple, and Tujing slowly disappeared into the darkness. The future they were looking forward to would not be too far away.
