Hearing the disbelief in Schoolboy Pastor’s voice, Pastor Flower knew the truth was hard to accept. She looked at him and replied with utmost seriousness, “I’m not joking.”
Seeing the earnest expression on Pastor Flower’s face, Schoolboy Pastor knew she would never joke about something like this in such a state. He fell silent instantly.
“Schoolboy Pastor, I know you’re feeling awful, but what’s done is done. I hope you can find a way to come to terms with it,” Pastor Bell said, walking over to comfort him.
“Thank you, Pastor Bell. I’ll try to come to terms with it. But… are we just going to let Pastor Scar’s death go?” Schoolboy Pastor thanked him for the consolation but then pressed further.
To this, Pastor Bell shook his head and replied, “We will not let Pastor Scar’s death go unaddressed.”
Hearing this, Schoolboy Pastor couldn’t help but feel relieved. However, remembering Pastor Flower’s description of the incredibly powerful pink-haired girl, he couldn’t suppress his worry. “But Pastor Bell, that pink-haired girl Pastor Flower mentioned… I’m afraid we’re no match for her.”
“Right now, we truly aren’t. But don’t forget what Pastor Flower said earlier—there’s always someone stronger out there.”
“Someone stronger out there? Pastor Bell, could it be… you can find someone even stronger than that pink-haired girl to deal with her?” Schoolboy Pastor, reminded of Pastor Flower’s earlier words, thought of something and quickly sought confirmation.
To this, Pastor Bell nodded and replied, “Yes, I can find a super even stronger than that pink-haired girl to handle her.”
Hearing this, Schoolboy Pastor, who had thought avenging Pastor Scar was impossible, instantly grew excited and thrilled. “That’s great! You can actually find someone stronger than her to deal with her? Then I believe we can definitely avenge Pastor Scar!”
“Indeed. With their help, we can not only avenge Pastor Scar but also get revenge for Pastor Glasses. We might even have a chance to rescue our Archbishop.”
“Rescue the Archbishop? Pastor Bell, who exactly are these people you’re talking about?” Feeling a bit lost, Schoolboy Pastor asked further.
Hearing this, Pastor Bell paused for a moment, then looked meaningfully at Schoolboy Pastor and Pastor Flower before stating with great gravity, “These people are from the foreign organization known as the Necromancer’s Association.”
“The Necromancer’s Association? It’s actually them!” Schoolboy Pastor’s face showed surprise upon hearing that their potential allies were from this group.
After all, the Necromancer’s Association was among the most notorious supernatural organizations abroad, one that struck fear into governments worldwide.
“I never would have guessed you had connections with the foreign Necromancer’s Association, Pastor Bell. It seems I need to update my impression of you,” Pastor Flower said, after a brief moment of astonishment.
Hearing this, Schoolboy Pastor quickly caught on and followed up with flattery, “Yes, I truly didn’t expect you to know people from the Necromancer’s Association, Pastor Bell.”
“Alright, enough flattery. I’m just using some connections, and it also happens that they have a need in this area,” Pastor Bell said.
Once Pastor Bell spoke, the other two stopped their compliments.
Clearing his throat slightly, Pastor Bell continued to the two before him, “Ahem, let’s not talk about that anymore. I’ll go contact the Necromancer’s Association now and have them come to Fangfeng City as quickly as possible.”
“Okay, understood. Take care, Pastor Bell.”
“Take care, Pastor Bell.”
“Even if you didn’t say it, I’d take my time. And I’m not that old yet,” Pastor Bell retorted after Schoolboy Pastor and Pastor Flower’s remarks. He then left the room where they had gathered and headed outside to contact the Necromancer’s Association.
…
“Whew, that’s hot! Is there any ice water?”
Sitting in the reception room of the Anomaly Bureau, Yan Qi, eating a hot meal, had her tongue scalded. She put down her chopsticks and looked at the female agent beside her, asking if there was any ice water to cool her tongue.
Seeing Yan Qi sticking out her tongue in front of her, the agent, who adored the little white-haired, red-eyed girl, acted quickly and poured her a glass of ice water.
Seeing the ice water the agent brought her, Yan Qi set her unfinished meal aside. Without hesitation, she took the glass and drank all the ice water in one go.
After finishing the large glass of ice water, her tongue finally stopped hurting, and a happy smile soon spread across Yan Qi’s face.
Knowing she owed her relief to this agent who had been taking care of her ever since her parents left, Yan Qi said gratefully, “Thank you for the ice water, big sis. Otherwise, my tongue would have been burned.”
Hearing the cute white-haired, red-eyed little girl thanking her, the agent quickly replied, “You’re welcome. It’s my duty as your temporary caretaker.”
“By the way, why haven’t my mom and dad come back yet?” After expressing her thanks, Yan Qi thought of her parents who hadn’t returned. She picked up her meal again and asked the agent next to her.
In response to Yan Qi’s question, the agent quickly offered a guess: “Probably because their statements aren’t finished yet. Even though this incident was small-scale, it involves the Flame Demon Lord’s cult. The higher-ups in the Bureau wouldn’t dare take it lightly.”
“The Flame Demon Lord’s cult? Big sis, can you tell me more about this cult?” Hearing the name of the cult, which she had already encountered twice today, Yan Qi couldn’t help but ask curiously.
Hearing Yan Qi’s question, the agent thought of the records about the Flame Demon Lord’s cult in the Bureau’s files. Feeling that she shouldn’t discuss such matters with an adorable little girl like Yan Qi, she refused, “No, you’re too young. It’s not time for you to know about these things yet.”
