Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 420 - 218: Waiting for Everything to Settle

Li Mumu lay in Wang Yunxiao’s arms, sobbing.

On one hand, she was covering up her recently nearly devastating crude behavior.

On the other hand, she was utterly ashamed of her naivety and stupidity.

I’ve been deceived! And so badly at that!

Now that I’ve calmed down and thought about it, I can see the flaws in this trap.

How could the Special Service Bureau use Church Nuns for a sting operation!

This just isn’t something from the same system.

But at that moment, she was too shocked by the strings to realize that the other party might be faking it.

After the shootout, they came out and cleaned up their tracks, telling you it was all fake.

The people were fake. The strings too.

And there I went, charging up like a nitwit, letting them make a fool out of me.

Li Mumu’s blunder was huge, a complete break in her façade.

Wang Yunxiao was also stunned. At first, he didn’t understand the situation, but he gradually started to catch on.

Special Service Bureau never came; they never planned to take on this mess from the beginning.

Because the opponent was playing a transparent game, if the Divine Aberration survived and was taken in by the Special Service Bureau, that would certainly attract the covetousness and trials of some very influential figures. If they killed the Divine Aberration, they would incur a corresponding cost. Although they did not know what the cost would be, from the other party’s actions last night, it was clear they intended to provoke a reaction.

The handling by the Special Service Bureau was quite intriguing, just a denial.

I don’t acknowledge that this is a Divine Aberration, nor do I acknowledge that she has any God’s Blood. She is just a survivor on site, with no real value.

These days, the more respectable people demand a well-established source. If the Special Service Bureau does not acknowledge it, why are you interested? How did you even hear about this? Now there’s something to discuss.

Seeing that the Special Service Bureau was not falling into their trap, they then organized some ridiculous things to harass us. Initially, the two Great Evil Spirits who appeared did seem quite frightening—a Red-Clothed Fierce Ghost and a Soul-Claiming Nether Messenger, putting even Wang Yunxiao under pressure, to the point where he was ready to give up resisting and let them take the person.

But who would have thought those two were just setting the mood, making a lot of noise but actually not advancing a step; eventually, Wang Yunxiao caught on to the possible ulterior motives of the other party.

The appearance of that fake officer later only cemented his belief.

The opponent was purely gambling.

Gambling that the leader responsible for handling the incident on-site might be a bloodthirsty extremist, a racist, an incompetent, or someone whose entire family had been wiped out, someone who detested demons and evil spirits deeply... In a nutshell, someone who would lose their composure at the slightest provocation, blindly ordering the killing of the Divine Aberration.

The chances of winning that bet seem quite high?

After all, isn’t that how it’s always played out in Hollywood movies?

Unfortunately, besides the tactical team from the Church present at the scene, there were also three team leaders, none of the personality types they hoped for.

Even after all three of them were down, the other party switched tactics and played their last card—moral blackmail.

On their side, there was Veronica, a Church Nun experienced in dealing with moral blackmail.

The Church practices virtues, not morals. There is a substantial difference between these two terms.

You want God’s Blood? Fine, I’ll give it to you.

"I declare this to be God’s Blood. You say it doesn’t work? Then it must be because you’re not devout, no, it’s not your fault. Could it be God’s fault?"

"You say it’s fake? What, you want to slice God up and make sashimi?"

"We’ve been using bread and wine for communion instead of God’s flesh and blood for many years, and the believers all approve. You think it’s fake, who do you think you are?"

He perfectly defeated his opponent’s moral high ground by utilizing the doctrine of faith.

After a brief shock, Wang Yunxiao had already sorted out the causes and consequences of the entire event in his mind, but the only thing he still didn’t understand was what exactly Veronica had done that made the other side crash headlong into a concrete wall without any suspicion, bleeding from their head.

The issue of appearance was easy to address; the girl who emerged from flesh and blood was covered in blood, and there was no condition to clean her up at the scene. Apart from Wang Yunxiao, who had been monitoring her closely, others might not even know what she looked like.

Wang Yunxiao had a good memory, so even if Veronica had donned a nearly perfect disguise, it couldn’t fool his eyes. He would know at a glance that she wasn’t the divine aberration girl.

Others might not have this condition and capability; they confirmed the divine aberration’s existence through other means. It was possible to rule out Echo Erosion and Knowledge Contamination, the two most common issues because carrying these would not make them innocent. Shooting her on the spot was hardly unjustified, saving much trouble thereafter.

It must be some method of verification beyond his own understanding...

...

Strings! Where are your strings?

Li Mumu cautiously peeked at the white-haired nun before her, transformed from the person she had just left; she was absolutely certain she hadn’t made a mistake before, as that kind of bloodline resonance couldn’t be faked.

But the white-haired nun in front of her no longer had any trace of high-dimensional string characteristics.

They switched people! When did they switch?

White Hair Sister, did you grow up drinking cow milk? How did you hide such long legs and such big breasts just now?

"How long do you plan to keep hugging?"

Veronica, hands on her hips, looked down at the teenagers before her with interest, watching their expressions change from tension to awkwardness.

"Cough cough..."

Wang Yunxiao quickly let go, speaking earnestly, "This is my classmate, Li Mumu. She just..."

He subconsciously tried to make an excuse for Li Mumu, but didn’t know how to properly word it.

"Don’t speak just yet!"

Veronica stared at Li Mumu, smiling slightly, "Li Mumu, right? This isn’t the place to talk. Come wait in my office first. Once I handle the situation here, we can chat more leisurely."

"Your office?"

Veronica led the two to Room 303. Only then did Wang Yunxiao and Li Mumu notice that outside in the blind spot of the door, right up against the wall, there was a large dressing mirror. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Veronica stepped into it.

The mirror led to another room, which from its dark tiles and the stained glass embedded in the windows appeared to be inside Qianjin Church, having moved from New Asia Hospital.

The room was spacious with no decorations, just a few guns hanging on the walls and demon-breaking ammunition piled on the table, indeed in Veronica’s personal style.

Besides, there was a girl sitting quietly in the corner, hugging her legs.

Li Mumu only needed one glance to confirm that she was the "String" she had initially seen.
