Chapter 572: Chapter 362: Little Thoughts (Achieved 8000 Word Target)

Qiuxiao Yunai had been hospitalized for three days after her injury.

Yet, in reality, she could stand and even dance and sing yesterday. Despite that, the doctor still had her stay one more day to monitor her condition.

Considering Qiuxiao Yunai’s personality, she would probably head straight to the Beichuan Divine Society to check on the situation as soon as she left the hospital.

Beichuan Si set the documents he had been holding aside.

Since Qiuxiao Yunai had been lying in the hospital for three days, Beichuan Si also stayed at Beichuan Divine Society, taking over her usual responsibilities.

Qiuxiao Yunai’s regular tasks were neither simple nor difficult.

They mainly involved preaching at the dojo and managing donations and charity work for community welfare facilities.

With the assistance of Shen Gu Mirai, these tasks were not particularly difficult to carry out.

Online, the topic of Beichuan Divine Society had completely exploded, especially the action of Beichuan God healing wounds with a pale golden aura was rated by many playful netizens as ’Beichuan God descending beside me.’

Thanks to this ’internet celebrity’ effect, the scale of Beichuan Divine Society steadily expanded.

However, at the moment, Beichuan Si was not concerned with these trivial matters.

He glanced at his phone.

There was a new message on his phone.

It was a message from Hetian Wu.

The content of the message was simple, merely an invitation to a gathering of believers today that she wanted Beichuan Si to attend.

"Gathering...?"

But wasn’t the meeting supposed to be next Friday?

With that thought, Beichuan Si decided to give Hetian Wu a call.

After ten seconds, Hetian Wu answered the phone cheerfully, greeting, "Is it Beidao, young sir?"

"Yes," Beichuan Si replied then asked, "I’m calling to ask about the gathering. Wasn’t the original timing next Friday? Why the sudden change..."

"Hmm... I’m not too clear about the specifics, this time it seems to be organized by Bai Mian. He says it’s for us to truly experience it... What about it? Will Beidao, young sir, come over? If you miss this one, you’ll have to wait for the next."

Upon hearing this, Beichuan Si’s brow furrowed.

Hetian Wu’s tone... something was off.

Her voice sounded somewhat urgent, and it seemed less like she was discussing with Beichuan Si and more like she was forcing him to make a choice.

It suddenly dawned on Beichuan Si that Bai Mian had personally invited him before... and now this gathering was organized by Bai Mian...

Could there be a connection between these two events?

Thinking of this, Beichuan Si briskly replied, "Since Miss Hetian has invited me so kindly, it would be difficult to refuse. The meeting place is near the tram station in Bunkyo District, is that alright?"

"Yes, then it’s settled! If you don’t come, young sir Beidao, I might just have to stake out at your place," Hetian Wu remarked, adding a harmless joke at the end.

But...

Was that really a joke?

Beichuan Si flicked his finger.

From Hetian Wu’s tone, he sensed a real threat.

It seemed Bai Mian truly valued his presence...

"Good," Beichuan Si responded cheerfully.

Since the other party was so eager to deliver suspects, he became somewhat less anxious.

After all, he would likely have Bai Mian in the bag tonight.

As for the others...

Beichuan Si stroked his chin.

If the opportunity arose, he would confront each of them one by one.

...

Thirty minutes later, Beichuan Si, dressed in casual attire, stood beside the tram station.

It was the agreed time, and Hetian Wu should be arriving soon.

Just as Beichuan Si was thinking this, Hetian Wu called out from behind, "Young sir Beidao, very punctual I see."

Beichuan Si turned around.

Hetian Wu was dressed casually, her youthful college attire belied the fact that she was a mentally unstable woman completely controlled by the Church of Truth and Happiness.

"Let’s go," Beichuan Si said, unwilling to engage in chit-chat and slung his backpack on.

Curious, Hetian Wu tilted her head and looked at the backpack carried by Beichuan Si, asking oddly, "Young sir Beidao, what are you doing with a backpack? What’s in it?"

Her tone carried a blend of curiosity and—mistrust.

No wonder, this being Beichuan Si’s second time attending the gathering, if he had brought any flammable or explosive items with ill intent to the Church of Truth and Happiness gathering...

Thus, her proactively asking was quite normal.

In response to Hetian Wu’s inquiry, Beichuan Si simply exhibited a calm demeanor and showed her the contents of his backpack.

Inside were a Shinra Bell and a plague doctor mask.

Other than that, the backpack was empty.

These items didn’t seem like anything dangerous, which relieved Hetian Wu.

"Just last time I heard the divine revelation of the True God of Happiness," Beichuan Si casually explained, "It instructed me to bring the Shinra Bell to the gathering this time as a way to pray for more happiness. That shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

After speaking, Beichuan Si looked at her.

His devout appearance surprised Hetian Wu and, similarly, she felt somewhat relieved, patting Beichuan Si’s shoulder, "I never expected you, previously an atheist, to become one of us. Our Church of Truth and Happiness’s doctrine indeed shows the true way to happiness. Compared to the fake and inferior organization of Beichuan Divine Society, our Church of Truth and Happiness is the only one!"
