Nightmare Light

Chapter 200 Security Monitoring?
Dog Brother watched the whole thing unfold from the side.

In his view, things are like this—

The tall northerner, the wielder of pale flames, with a resolute and composed expression, held a sacred spear of fire as he stepped into the endless darkness.

Afterwards, he used the sacred white fire to dispel the darkness, drive away evil spirits, light up the town's temple, and retrieve the Leaf of Life (a name Dog Bro made up himself)...

After that, he gave "righteous instruction" to the wicked children in Sizhen, teaching them to reform and turn to good...

Yes, that must be it!

My boss is capable of doing this!
Dog Brother thought to himself.

……

"You're waiting for her here? Waiting for...your mother?"

Lin Wang looked at the little boy in front of him and asked him a question.

The little boy nodded: "We'll wait for Mom at home."

Lin Wang pointed to the deserted streets of Sizhen: "But this environment... and as you all know, finding Mom is not something that can be done overnight. It may take a long time, even many years."

“We’ve waited for many years, and we don’t care how many more years we have to wait,” the little boy said. “Besides, this is home.”

Lin Wang took a deep breath: "I understand, I will try my best to help you... find your mother."

He asked the little boy, "So during this time, you..."

"We'll wait, we'll tidy up and clean the house." The little boy's face became increasingly lively, and he looked excited. "We have so much to do!"

“In that case, I won’t force you. Although I originally wanted to introduce you to another place… but since you want to stay at home, that’s fine with me.” Lin Wang nodded, then changed the subject, “However, I think there’s another thing you can do besides tidying up the house.”

The little boy tilted his head and looked at Lin Wang, waiting for him to continue.

Lin Wang chuckled and conjured a thick notebook out of thin air: "There's some homework in here..."

"..."

……

[Recovery complete, tree fern energy replenishing... Current world control level: 2%]

"We've grown so many green leaves, yet we only have two percent control over the world..."

Lin Wang frowned, but then he thought about it and felt relieved. This tree had been dead before, and it had only just been revived. How could it possibly want to control the whole world? It was simply unrealistic.

It's like a person in a vegetative state finally waking up. If they can even twitch their big toe a few times, that's already great news. Do you expect them to immediately get out of bed and perform a dunk?
With this in mind, Lin Wang composed himself.

He waved goodbye to the little boy, then asked Dog Brother, "What are your plans for when you get back?"

"Let's check on my brothers first, then explore the second location... What else can my poor crew do?" Dog shrugged, his expression quite calm. He even smiled, "I'm used to it."

Lin Wang said to him, "By the way, there are two people I'd like to introduce to your Wild Wolf Gang if they agree... What's with that expression?"

Dog Bro was beaming with excitement: "Boss! Are you finally going to send people to take over our group?"

"...When did I say that?"

"Huh? You sent people here not to forcibly seize our Wild Wolf Gang for your own use, right?!"

"Why would I take over your mercenary group!" Lin Wang's face twitched. "And why do you look so happy when this topic comes up?"

"Oh, what a disappointment," Dog sighed. "I've been thinking about it for a while now, Boss, if you were our leader..."

"Stop." Lin Wang shook his head. "I just refused to be emperor a couple of days ago, and I also refused to be the leader of a Holy Army. Now you want me to be the leader of your mercenary group..."

"Boss, you look really cool when you brag."

"roll!" ……

Two hours later, at the Tang Sheng City Temple.

Lin Wang walked to the entrance of the temple, looked up at the huge trapezoidal building in front of him, and felt a surge of emotion.

I just wanted to go into a nightmare to test a skill, how did it all turn into such a mess...?

However, the most important thing right now is to find Vice-Bishop Zhao as soon as possible—to prevent her from causing any more trouble.

Hopefully, Shi Xionglue has already sorted out those messes...

Lin Wang pondered for a moment before walking into the temple.

After the previous "Styx incident," Lin Wang felt that the secrets surrounding him were about to be exposed.

The white fire of Luohe...

The World Tree...

Maharaja...

These clues are gradually forming a network around me in an interesting way.

While he was pondering, he had already entered the temple.

Inside the temple, the priests were already quite familiar with this tall northerner, so one of them quickly came out to greet him.

This was a young priestess who was being received by the bishop. She was very respectful to Lin Wang: "Mr. Lin Wang, this way please. His Holiness the bishop has instructed that you come to the 'Hall of Enlightenment' for a talk."

Lin Wang was surprised: "How did he know I would come?"

The young priestess said with a devout expression, "It must have been my mother's divine message that told His Holiness the Bishop this."

"Is this so..."

Lin Wang muttered something to himself and said no more.

He followed the priestess through the colonnaded corridor to the back of the temple, to a spacious room.

At the door of the room, a middle-aged bishop with long eyebrows was already standing there, looking kind and gentle.

Before Lin Wang could even reach him, Bishop Du had already taken a few steps forward to greet him.

"Oh, Lin Wang...distinguished guest."

He opened his arms in a welcoming gesture: "Welcome to the Temple of Tangsheng City...and thank you for what you did the other day. You have once again helped the temple, saved countless mothers' children, and..."

"No need for such formalities," Lin Wang waved his hand. "Sir Bishop, there's something I'm curious about—how did you know I was coming in advance?"

He looked at Bishop Du: "Could it be that the goddess really notices me?"

“My mother’s gaze is all-seeing, she knows everything in the secular world, including your coming to the temple.” Bishop Du said calmly and gently, “but I did not know of your arrival through my mother’s oracle.”

"Then who are you?" Lin Wang wondered. Could it be that there really is something like divination in divine arts...? If there really is divination, should I learn it...?

Then he heard Bishop Du say, "Because an idol was stolen from the temple a couple of days ago, we installed surveillance cameras outside the temple."

Lin Wang: “…”

Bishop Du asked, "Why? Why are you curious about this?"

Lin Wang, his face stiff, turned his head away rigidly: "It's nothing. I actually came here for another matter... Bishop, you saw Shi Xionglue, didn't you?"

"Oh, of course, he's waiting for you. This way, please."
