Chapter 165 Everyone Can Get at the Table

Meanwhile, on Daphne's side...

She actually saw Zero acting suspiciously yesterday and felt that the kid must have some secret. After all, compared to those other fanatical kids, Zero was far too unconventional.

Driven by some kind of intuition, she immediately became friends with Zero and took him under her wing. This led her to find a way to successfully infiltrate the cathedral and even managed to get inside once.

All that intelligence was obtained through these methods. Although the amount of intelligence was not much, it was enough for her.

"So this test was that easy. All you had to do was dare to infiltrate those forbidden areas and find what Charles left behind..."

"If there's any clue to leaving, we can just take the yacht and leave at this time," she thought to herself.

Most importantly, you need to be bold. Whether it's the confessional or the interior of the cathedral, you need a way to sneak in. Normally, these places are all guarded by those giant nuns.

And whether it was just my imagination or not, the nuns' differential treatment of boys and girls was quite obvious. They always showed some patience towards the boys, but treated the girls like meat on a plate.

She scoffed. But for her, it was fine; she didn't think she could have anything to do with those bastards anyway—those guys who were always in heat, she could smell their stench from a mile away.

So, as long as we can escape from here, that's really easy.

She thought to herself. The cave below was guarded by special personnel, and it was actually a dedicated vehicle used for the temporary procurement of supplies for the divine children. It was usually used by people, and was only chained up after the divine children's banquet began. This was the best opportunity, so she could leave directly.

Although Daphne's intelligence was not as complete as Li Ge's, she had pieced together the key information and laid out a plan.

In other words, as long as she waits until some time before the banquet, she can sneak into the unguarded underground cave, cut the chains, and escape.

Ha, a simple task. As for Li Ge and the others—if she uses this yacht to escape, they either have to stay here and wait to die, or they'll have to find another way to escape. But that doesn't matter; she disdains holding them back at this time, hoping to surpass that borderline guy and become the top scorer.

Fairies have their pride. She prefers to beat the guy who once defeated her to his knees in a fair and square manner, to see him crawling on his knees in front of her with his buttocks sticking out, to have such a person polish her shoes, or even kiss her toes. That's the kind of scene she likes.

So, just wait and see.

Time ticked by, and when she felt it was about time, she swaggered out of the cabin, heading straight to end this rather boring exam.

"Little girl, where are you headed?" The sudden voice made her turn her head.

She saw two nuns, towering like iron towers. One held a meat cleaver, the other a spoon that resembled a warhammer, and they grinned menacingly at her.

Her brow furrowed. Shouldn't this be the busiest time for these nuns? Why would they be free to come and find her? And—

interesting!

"Zero has disappeared, and the banquet is missing a Pure Child, so you will fill in," the nun holding the meat cleaver said directly. "Come with us obediently; those divine children have been waiting for a long time!"

Daphne: "?"

After all that, it turns out I was tricked by that underling!

So that's how it is. So that's why Zero was acting so suspiciously, why he kept trying to escape, and why he finally decided to take action today, even leaving me with Charles's information—it turns out today is the day he's supposed to join the banquet!

He probably knew, which is why he acted so abnormally, and that's why he was discovered by himself.

So why, if zero is missing, are so many people able to join the banquet, but they specifically choose me? It can't be because I stepped out of the room with my left foot, or because I looked at you all like I was some nobody.

"Yes, that's the look in her eyes. That disgusting look. We'd better take her to the banquet quickly, or the Divine Child will be angry and we won't get away with it!" said the giant nun holding a spoon that looked like a giant hammer.

Daphne: "?"

So it really was because of the way I looked at them that these people were targeting me?

Seriously, how stupid!

She flexed her fingers, making a crisp "click-click-click" sound.

"I always thought this was too boring," she said with a smile. Even without using psionic energy, her physical skills were among the best, so—

"Come on, let me have some fun, you insane cows!" she grinned, her words laced with blatant provocation. "Your heads are held too high!"

I haven't even tested the strength of these fighting nuns yet, so I'll just have some fun in the end.

Then, one minute later————

Daphne's arms swung rapidly as she ran faster than a rabbit, her whole body moving as if she were carrying a gust of wind.

"Stop right there, you brat! Weren't you just being a jerk?!" Behind them, the giant nuns, whose faces appeared to be scratched, were furious. The large boning knives and spoons in their hands were like swords and warhammers.

It can even shatter a tree as thick as a waist with just one strike.

"If it weren't for saving my psionic energy for leaving, you'd see what I did to you!" she said fiercely, still defiantly explaining.

These nuns were stronger than I had imagined, but not quite as strong as I had imagined.

If she had her original strength, allowing her to unleash the most prized and sacred light magic of the fairy race without restraint, she could have meticulously chopped these nuns into minced meat.

But now—

"Lure them into the cave, then use psychic powers to kill them and escape on the yacht the instant they're killed. Even if I get burned by the psychic power, I can still escape—" That was the plan that came to her mind.

Without hesitation, she immediately fled towards the underground cave she had originally planned to visit.

However, she quickly realized something was wrong. It wasn't just those two nuns chasing her anymore; the commotion she had caused had attracted the attention of the other nuns.

And so, she felt as if people from all directions were coming to capture her. Even her original plan to escape towards the cave was thwarted by the blocked road, forcing her to flee into the unknown forest.

"Run, where do you think you're going, kid!" A voice came from behind her, but she remained unmoved.

However, the number of nuns chasing her had increased to ten.

No, even if there's a shortage of people, it's impossible to be so fixated on oneself, right?

She was already cursing in her heart.

Meanwhile, here at the cathedral.

Valerie and Xiaoye crouched inside the ventilation duct, peering through the faint gaps at the bustling banquet hall below.

The long dining table, the exquisitely plated cutlery, and the freshly prepared fruit, all bathed in candlelight, highlighted the elegance and sophistication of the nobility.

They were actually very careful; even when they needed to communicate, they did so through the system's team chat interface on their wristwatches.

"Xiaoye, you're still wearing a ring on your ring finger?" Valerie seemed to be quite bored while waiting, and she noticed that Xiaoye was still wearing a ring on her hand.

This is because Sayo sometimes wraps strips of cloth around her hands or wears gloves to protect her hand holding the knife and prevent it from slipping, so it's rare to see her hands completely untouched. Seeing a silver ring on her hand today was a bit of a surprise.

"Yeah, I'm used to it," Xiaoye replied simply, while reminding him, "Keep an eye on what's coming up; the banquet should be starting soon."

Soon, they saw a group of elegant, gentlemanly people taking their seats.

"This is a public dining room. Adults, please maintain your elegance while dining here," a giant nun said with a smile, greeting the children of God who only reached their waists.

The group of people took their seats one after another, resembling elegant noblemen and gentlemen, chatting and laughing in this high-class social setting.

They checked the information they had been given one by one and found that many of them matched up.

"That's a famous musician, that's a big star on screen, and over there, that's a sage, said to be a genius who is about to develop a new magic formula theory—" Valerie and Saya even found someone they recognized from the previous intelligence.

Of course, most of them were strangers. They noticed that none of the people present were from the intelligence reports, nor were there any royalty, nobles, or politicians. Clearly, those who could be here were only merchants, celebrities, and less important sages.

The real top floor should be in the private rooms.

Soon, the main dishes began to be served.

Thigh meat, tenderloin, medium-rare ribs, smoked liver, braised heart, pig brain —

One by one, plates of meat delicacies were served and placed in front of these distinguished guests, the Divine Child.

The nuns serving here were no longer the impatient and rude people they used to be; instead, they became incredibly elegant and well-mannered, serving these divine children to their utmost satisfaction.

Even after the delicacies were served, the celebrities present remained unhurried, elegantly wiping their arms with handkerchiefs as if performing some kind of devout ritual before picking up the cutlery.

Then, the old priest appeared. Like the other dignitaries present, he gracefully bowed with his trembling body and said, "Before the banquet begins, please note that these are the purest ingredients. Also, there are no vegetarians here. Enjoy your meal."

""

The celebrities in the audience burst into enthusiastic applause, and the old priest bowed again before slowly walking off the stage.

"It doesn't seem as exaggeratedly disgusting as Zero described," Valerie said, looking at the exquisitely plated meat dishes.

"Perhaps the truly disgusting and outrageous ones are the people in those private rooms," Xiaoye asked tentatively. "By the way, where did all those dozens of innocent children who entered here go? I haven't seen them at all."
