Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 421 - 219 This is What I Call Acting Bravely for a Just Cause

"I really was just... acting out of a sense of justice, yes, a sense of justice!"

There was no such thing as a regret medicine in this world, so now that things had come to this, Li Mumu could only grit her teeth and stand firm.

No matter how you looked at it, she had snatched a gun and fired it in the hospital, which wasn’t something a normal young lady would do. A reasonable explanation was necessary or she couldn’t avoid serving time in prison.

However, the good news was that the incident was mainly handled by the Church, which didn’t have law enforcement authority. As long as she could clearly explain her abnormal behavior, the Church would not go out of its way to make things difficult for her.

Another piece of good news was that she wasn’t fighting alone this time; she had Wang Yunxiao by her side to speak on her behalf. His ability to make friends was extraordinary; he even had a connection with... bah! Not a connection, a relationship with White Hair Nun.

At his insistent request, Sister Veronica didn’t give her a hard time and even brewed tea, sitting down calmly to chat.

Li Mumu took a deep breath, deciding to start sharing the story she had just concocted.

"The reason I could recognize her as Lilith is that my mother is a witch," she explained.

Wang Yunxiao’s eyes narrowed.

But Li Mumu’s attention was entirely on Sister Veronica; she knew that Qianjin Church was more secular in its approach, but wasn’t sure how they would react to the term "witch."

"You should know what a witch is, I don’t need to explain, do I?"

"Mm, I know," Sister Veronica nodded and explained, "Witches, also called witches, are said to be descendants of Lilith, passing on their lineage through the maternal bloodline, skilled in prophecy and curses. Witch families have a unique custom of requiring their daughters to take on their mother’s surname. It is said that every witch’s surname carries magic power, akin to a demon’s true name, but not as easily controlled by others as a demon’s true name is..."

"Although I inherited the bloodline, I didn’t inherit this talent, so my mother has always been cold towards me, even refusing to acknowledge me as her own daughter. When I first saw her, I just felt something was odd, and later, when I secretly overheard that woman being instigated in the restroom, I called my mother to seek her advice," Li Mumu recounted what she had overheard in the restroom, "I’m not very knowledgeable about these things, but my mother told me that if we let her hurt that girl, it would have very serious consequences. But by the time I got back, I saw her kneeling at the door. I didn’t think too much about it; I just happened to see a gun tucked in someone’s waist..."

Sister Veronica nodded noncommittally, exchanging a covert glance with Wang Yunxiao.

It sounded like there wasn’t anything wrong, just the impulsive actions of a young lady with an overblown sense of justice. As far as the outcome was concerned, she hadn’t hurt anyone or made things worse, so she shouldn’t have to take on any responsibility.

But Li Mumu, you’ve hidden your nature pretty well, haven’t you? I really thought you were some harmless rich girl, yet here you are with witch bloodline and practicing dangerous martial arts—I feel like you’re more of a protagonist in a novel than I am.

Wang Yunxiao coughed and said, "Sister Veronica, I think you shouldn’t be hard on Student Li. Her family is clean; she wouldn’t do anything bad."

"I didn’t say she did anything bad, but I still need to ask everything that needs to be asked, otherwise how am I supposed to write the report?"

Sister Veronica glanced at the girl who had been silent in the corner, shrugged, and said, "I suppose we can put an end to this matter. The hospital still needs cleaning up, so you two should not go back there, nor should you go around spreading word of this. I’ll have someone treat your wound, and then you should stay here in the Church for a while."

Only then did Wang Yunxiao remember that he had been stabbed, and after all this time, the wound was almost healed.

Relaxing his mind, he suddenly felt dizzy.

Awesome! We passed! Sister Veronica... I mean, Miss Veronica is actually quite reasonable.

Li Mumu cheered in her mind, then saw Wang Yunxiao sway and fall backward.

"This idiot, why play the hero? Even if you hadn’t come to save me, I would have been able to protect myself!"

Seeing Wang Yunxiao like this, Li Mumu felt quite remorseful.

Veronica raised her hand and took a bottle of liquid potion from the drawer, "First, administer this bottle of antidote to him, then I’ll trouble you to take good care of him for a while. After things are wrapped up at the hospital, I’ll send him back."

"Ah? Me?"

Mumu thought to herself that being alone with a man might not be very appropriate... Wait, it’s not just the two of them, there’s a silent third wheel.

But on second thought, that made it even more awkward!

However, Veronica didn’t give her a chance to argue, turning around and disappearing into the mirror.

Back in the hospital room, Veronica reached out and grabbed the meter-tall dressing mirror which instantly shrank into a palm-sized small mirror in the palm of her hand.

"Sister Veronica."

The nun standing at the door as a lookout asked in a low voice, "Is there any risk in putting those two in the Mount Sumeru Mirror with Lilith, especially that girl with the unclear identity...?"

"If we don’t create such an opportunity, how can we see if she is problematic? Plus, Captain Wang is inside, he can control the situation."

"But the Mount Sumeru Mirror..."

"This thing was made to be used; if not now, then when?"

Veronica put on her wig and human skin mask again, moved all the bones in her body, and readjusted to a petite form, "Have you found out which tribe those Sea People are from? Things are already chaotic enough, do they really want to meddle too?"

"There’s no clear tribal identifier."

Upon hearing this, Veronica couldn’t help but frown, "No clear tribal identifier, and they use guns, could they be assimilated Sea People?"

"There are good and bad people everywhere, it’s not surprising to find traitors among the assimilated Sea People, right?"

"No, no, no, it’s not as simple as you think."

Veronica pondered for a moment and then asked in a low voice, "How many Sea People women workers have our factory recruited?"

"I’d have to check the exact data when I get back, but if you want me to estimate, there should be about a thousand. Those Sea People sisters, aside from being somewhat introverted, don’t have any other shortcomings. They are very conscientious at work, and many of them volunteer for overtime, not even going home on their days off."

"Volunteering for overtime? Aren’t our wages not low? Are they in great need of money?"

"This..."

"Go back to the Church now, find a few reliable sisters to conduct an investigation."

Veronica said earnestly, "I feel there may be a problem here, and it’s likely a major one."
