Chapter 166 Born Evil

This discovery puzzled them greatly. Where had all the innocent children gone? How come there wasn't a trace of them after dozens of people came in?

However, just as they were wondering, Yilian had already uploaded some information to the group.

Those materials—those exquisite plates—

As if they had gained supernatural vision, they immediately understood what it was.

The next instant, an indescribable feeling of nausea surged up in my heart and came uncontrollably.

"What's that sound?" the old priest suddenly said, looking towards the corner of the ceiling, at the ventilation duct hidden under the decoration.

"I'll go check it out," a nun volunteered.

The next moment, intense light exploded throughout the entire cathedral. In that instant, even this sturdy building swayed precariously under the light, almost collapsing.

Li Ge and Yi Lian looked over through the priest's hut and immediately exclaimed, "Oh no! Xiao Ye and the others are in danger! The Holy Knights' all-out attack is today!"

"Not just this Gensokyo, but also the children of the gods, the nuns, and anyone on this island are targets of the Holy Knights. They can no longer protect others while also killing the demon lurking within the church, so they have chosen the most drastic method—"

"perish together!"

The two immediately reached a consensus. Clearly, once the paladins began their attack, they would no longer care about them.

They came with the intention of judging and punishing all evil!

They knew they were going to die, but they didn't care. They only cared about dragging one more demon down to hell with them.

Therefore, this exam is clearly biased towards the escape/escape category.

At a set time, the entire Gensokyo would completely transform into a battlefield. At that time, even more people would want to escape, since those divine children were all prominent figures who would often flee for their lives like madmen at the first sign of danger, rather than thinking of resisting.

However, the Holy Knights were clearly aware of this, so they certainly wouldn't allow such a thing to happen at that time.

This meant that when they officially launched their final offensive, it meant that they didn't have much time left to escape.

Even so, some paladins continued to send out escape signals and leave clues for their escape.

Li Ge didn't know who this paladin who kept sending messages on the radio was. Was he one of the attackers? Or one of the defenders holding out on the outskirts?

Even so, he still held the attitude of saving as many as he could.

Li Ge hadn't seen such a pure paladin in a long time.

Valerie doesn't count; that girl was more of a paladin-style mage than a paladin.

However, as their Noble Phantasm Department has become the mainstream "battle mage," the line has become increasingly blurred.

"Let's go! We need to get back to them right away!" Li Ge immediately put aside these wild thoughts and said.

They didn't know if it was the Holy Knights attacking, or just a simple gas leak and explosion, but they couldn't gamble.

Actually, looking back, the best way to leave would have been to find an opportunity to leave with Zero back then, but I don't know if that kid succeeded.

But it will be very difficult. He is going to hide on the ship of the gods, but the ships of the gods will also suffer the fiercest attack from the paladins.

Li Ge could only wish that kid good luck.

"Can we help those paladins?" Yilian suddenly asked.

"Our biggest contribution right now is to not cause any trouble." Completely disregarding the commotion they were about to cause, the two began charging towards the cathedral.

Soon after, a second explosion was heard, and Li Ge and the others could even feel the shockwave and the dust that followed.

Then they saw Daphne, panting heavily, and behind her several giant nuns.

When they met again in this situation, both of them wore expressions of unspeakable awkwardness and tension.

"You've come at the perfect time. Let's leave together, and then we'll see who's the best we can be," she said, seemingly a little out of breath.

But Li Ge and the others didn't have time to help this guy they didn't know.

"You guys keep chasing, I won't bother you. We're leaving now." Li Ge and Yi Lian immediately prepared to leave.

Then, the giant nun rushed forward.

"You want to escape too? You want to leave this place too!"

"Don't run! Nobody is allowed to run!"

Li Ge, Yi Lian:

Daphne: "I didn't expect them to be so stressed."

The logic is this: the giant nuns initially only wanted to capture Daphne, then discovered she was trying to escape. Only after she escaped did the entire nun community react; even after the cathedral exploded, only a portion of the nuns were sent to assess the situation, while the remaining five or six continued their pursuit of this impure child who was attempting to flee the island!

Then, whether intentionally or accidentally, this person directly pulled Li Ge and Yi Lian into the group in front of the nun, and the two of them were subsequently hunted down.

"Yilian, go and meet up with Xiaoye and Valerie. Leave this to me," Li Ge said decisively.

"Okay, be careful." Yi Lian didn't hesitate. When they reached a river, he jumped into the water and instantly dissolved. This moment stunned the nuns for a moment. Then, one of the nuns also jumped into the water, but what awaited her was probably not a good ending.

Fighting a water-type variant Pokémon in water? Think again. Even aquatic creatures would be easily killed by pure water elementals.

However, Yi Lian's purpose was to meet Xiao Ye and Valerie; killing was just a side effect.

"Weren't you so arrogant? Why aren't you acting so cocky now?" Li Ge said sarcastically. He was now certain that this guy's "accidental" behavior was deliberate and full of scheming.

She may seem like a brash little devil, but she's actually a crazy old woman. Just when you think she's brainless, she's the most insidious kind of person.

Good heavens, this fairy is absolutely wicked! How can such a wicked race exist in the world!

Li Ge immediately took a deep breath and said, "A nun born evil!"

The next instant, he immediately felt a sense of unease, as if he were being watched by someone in a high position.

However, that feeling of immense pressure, like that of the deep sea, did not appear!

Something's not right!

The nun pointed to by Li Ge immediately stopped in her tracks and then frantically tore at her own skin.

"No, no, my purity, my purity! Lord, forgive me, forgive me!" she cried out as if possessed. The next moment, she grabbed another nun beside her and opened her devilish mouth to bite down hard on her neck.

"Aaaaaah!" A heart-wrenching scream rang out, leaving Daphne stunned.

"What are you looking at, you born evil fairy!" Li Ge crossed his arms and immediately put a hat on her.

Daphne quickly felt that gaze, which seemed to come from an indescribable source, making her heart pound, but thankfully, she was able to withstand it.

Meanwhile, chaos immediately erupted on the nuns' side.

"She's fallen! Damn it, why did she have to fall at this time! Feed her the blood of her pure children, quickly!"

"No, those two children, how could they have fallen into depravity too! They're not pure anymore!"

"Purity, give me purity, I want purity!" The nun whom Li Ge had designated as inherently evil was now biting off another person's neck like a madwoman and desperately sucking blood, as if trying to maintain her own purity.

In Li Ge's view, the "evil" label above her head was gradually fading; it really was true.

But this time, the oppressive feeling was gone. Could it be that only in front of the statue could the scene of him contorting in the confessional and jumping into the sea be triggered?

Ah, I see. He gradually came to understand everything.

The religion of this world is this: people are born sinful, children of the devil, but as long as you remain pure, you can still become a child of the Lord.

However, for many people, maintaining purity is too difficult, so they have found an alternative: consuming "purity," which is equivalent to putting on a cloak in the name of "purity" so that they can get rid of this maddening gaze.

In fact, under a statue of a deity, this gaze can escalate into spiritual pressure.

So, what is the purest thing?

The answer is obvious.

Li Ge's "innate evil" completely tears away their pure exterior, exposing their filthy hearts to the Lord. If they were under the Lord's statue, it would likely incur His wrath and oppression.

So this isn't a "curse," it's a "removal of makeup." Tearing away their disguise, letting "God" see their true selves.

What kind of world could give birth to such a twisted sect?

No—then why, even within the same cult, is there a paladin who saves as many as possible? And why is there a hired hacker trying to expose the pope of this Gensokyo?

Seeing that she was about to be subdued, Li Ge stopped pretending, immediately pointed to the second person, crossed her arms, and said, "The inherently evil nun!"

The next moment, the second nun also went mad and tore at her own skin. After tearing it until it was a blur, she noticed her "colleague" next to her and then, like a madwoman, bit off her female colleague's throat and sucked the blood from it.

"Purity, purity, purity!" The nun seemed to have gone even more insane. She attacked her colleagues like a spider, and the first nun who had been restrained broke free in that instant and pounced on the other nuns around her.

As for why they didn't pounce on Li Ge and Daphne?

Because they are also "born evil little devils"!

This evil attribute, at this moment, has become their shield. They are so crazy because they want to be pure. If they eat the evil imp, they will not become pure. Instead, they will become even more despised by the Lord!

"I see, so you can forcibly label others as 'evil,' is that right?" Daphne asked. "But why are we alright, while they're acting like madmen?"

Li Ge paused for a moment, then added, "Perhaps it's because even though we have evil attributes, our souls are pure. The Lord will only monitor us, not harm us."

"

"And they, even if they wear a pure cloak, their souls are dirtier than anything else."

T

Li Ge slowly revealed her guess.

"real?"

"Just a guess."
