Just after Lu Shu forced the man to jump off the train, he received a message from You Mingyu. “The Bishop from the Department of Faith Theory is being stopped by the Puppet Master. He is unable to leave the city in southern Sardinia.”
This made Lu Shu heave a sigh of relief. Although he did not know why the Puppet Master did this, at least this was good news for him and Coral.
The Bishop’s influence in Europe was like the sun that was directly overhead. His presence was the most dazzling.
No one expected Tiger Zhi to hide in the grass and wait to ambush the sun in this small island of Sardinia.
After carefully looking at the information, Lu Shu realized that Tiger Zhi was in Europe, while Cloud Yi was in Nancang.
When Lu Shu thought about how Cloud Yi told him that she would kill him in the Lop Nur remains, he felt troubled. He did not know whether he was being targeted this time. She probably would not know that it was him whom she encountered in the Lop Nur remains, right?
Lu Shu wished that she would never know…
“Did you make that person jump off the train?” Coral suddenly asked.
When Coral asked this question, Lu Shu was somehow slightly nervous. “Did I go too far?”
In Lu Shu’s eyes, Coral was a young girl. Thus, if he suddenly committed such a violent act and was discovered, he was afraid that she would blame him.
“No.” Coral shook her head and said, “If there are people following us or breaking the rules, we should teach them a lesson. If people are here to kill us, we should kill them as well.”
Lu Shu suddenly tapped his head. He had to consciously separate the two Corals. One was Coral, the Master of Gods. The other was Coral, a slightly naive young girl.
But how could you separate a person? She did not have schizophrenia. Her two identities were not in conflict with each other either. They simply helped her to understand how to treat herself and the world around her.
Furthermore, Coral was a peak Class B. How many people would be able to injure her? Thus, Lu Shu was not worried about the number of enemies. He was just worried about the blood-sucking leeches who already had their butcher’s knife in the air, ready to attack.
Everyone had their attention on this train. No matter whether they were on the road or already waiting at the destination, they were constantly focused on it.
“The train has reached Villacrido. It will reach Oristano in another two hours, said Francesco, who was standing behind the Bishop. “We have arrived earlier than them.”
“Where are the people from the Danke?” The Bishop asked in an old voice.
“They have just reached the north. They probably would not make it in time to Oristano, thus we only have to deploy two people here. No one from the Danke will take the opportunity to launch an attack on us. As for the other organizations, we do not have to worry much about them.” Francesco said, “In a while, I will head to Oristano to end this and bring back the Gungnir.”
Tiger Zhi’s appearance had delayed Francesco’s arrival. If he rushed there now, he might be too late. But as long as his subordinates were able to hold back Lu Shu and Coral at Oristano, he could easily deal with them once he arrived.
Although there was not much information about Lu Shu, he did not seem to have particularly strong abilities. He had killed the Class B expert Nogiwa Takenobu, but it may have been the result of a cheap trick.
The large organizations in Europe were now familiar with the name “Lu Shu”.
“Do not underestimate the enemy,” said the Bishop slowly. “Francesco, you are too arrogant. You must see this world and your enemies clearly.”
“Yes, Bishop.” Francesco bowed slightly.
“You must bring the Gungnir back, and Coral must die.” The Bishop made a decision. “We have always represented God and walked along humans. Now, there are deities among humans. What should we do now?”
Francesco trembled slightly. He recalled the breathing that came from a grave in the sacred garden back then. The breath had now merged with the Bishop’s body and became the key that allowed the Bishop to advance to Class A.
“Ordinary people may not care,” the Bishop sighed. “But to us, the Deities are no more than monsters that dominate lives. How can true deities… exist in this world? This world cannot accommodate her. Kill her.”
He spoke with a melancholic tone, but he talked about a massacre.
“Can humans and God love each other?” The Bishop suddenly started to laugh coldly. “Who knows? Perhaps God has no feelings. Go. We will settle this today.”
Francesco hurriedly left. He and the members of the Department of Faith Theory drove to Oristano.
But just as they were about to exit the city, they were stopped. Someone suddenly rushed out from the side of the highway and punched the front of the car. The steel surface of the car produced a creaking sound and caved in!
Coral’s cousin and the members of the Deities stood in the middle of the road. “Trying to go there? Fat chance. Our Master of Gods is finally in love. Don’t even think of disturbing them.”
Pitter patter. Heavy rain started falling from the sky.
…”…
“Lu Shu…” Coral looked at the rain through the window. She hesitated before asking, “Did you have a girlfriend in the past?”
“No.” Lu Shu shook his head.
“Why not?” Coral laughed. “I feel that many girls have liked you. You are capable and very responsible… or are they not pretty enough? Am I pretty?”
Lu Shu thought about it and confessed honestly. “You are very pretty. But somebody once told me that you cannot judge a person just by their looks. You also have to look at your own appearance.”
Coral laughed. “Lu Shu, you are very good-looking too. Not the best, but I feel that it’s just nice. If you were more good-looking, I would be worried that even more girls will like you. It would be very vexing.”
Lu Shu was dumbfounded for a long time. Was Coral praising him or scolding him…
“I am always offending others,” said Lu Shu helplessly. “No one likes me. I am like Wen Shen 1 back home. Everyone avoids me.”
Coral was dumbfounded. “Is it because you often have a sharp tongue? To be honest, I’ve always wanted to ask you. Why do you like to do that…”
“Think about it. If I live long enough, then it would be very painful for me to attend my friends’ funerals when I grow old. But if they are enemies, there may even be the pleasant surprise of them dying one by one…” Lu Shu recalled what he had read online and talked nonsense.
Coral asked again, “So if you die first…”
Lu Shu was dumbfounded.
Then his enemies would set off fireworks and rejoice!
Lu Shu’s expression darkened. “Hurry up and say pei pei pei…”
Coral laughed until she started to tremble. “What does pei pei pei mean?”
“It chases away bad luck in China. It will dispel whatever bad things you had said,” Lu Shu explained.
“Pei pei pei pei pei pei…”
“Just three will do.”
“Oh…”
