Chapter 1065: Chapter 490 Master, stop chanting_2

["Huh? Mu You, you’re finally here!" The tall figure spotted you and immediately waved happily in your direction.]

[You walked over, and the tall figure hurriedly stood up with a lantern in hand and a red robe draped over his body, a scarf tied around his neck, unmistakably the Watchman. At that moment, he was followed by four little cats, holding two more in his arms, with one lying on his head, looking quite busy.]

[You asked the Watchman what these were.]

[The Watchman enthusiastically pulled you over to the group of kittens, introducing each one: "These, come on Mu You, let me introduce them, this one is Beauty, this is Money Bags, this is Treasure, this is The Great, this is Lorraine..."]

Mu You looked on with a dumbfounded expression, really, they had so much free time that they named each animal? Was this something a lost person would do... and wasn’t this naming style a bit too casual?

["Perfect timing, Mu You. Quickly fetch me a bag of cat food. These little guys’ mother had an accident, and they haven’t eaten for several days. If they don’t eat something soon, I’m afraid they’ll be in trouble," the Watchman looked at you with urging eyes.]

["We don’t have time for this now; we have important matters to attend to. Hurry and come with me." You brought over a Chocobo, impatiently urging the Watchman to set off quickly.]

["Mu You, that’s where you’re wrong. No matter how important something is, it’s not more urgent than this moment. It’s a simple task to help; can you bear to watch these little animals starve to death?" the Watchman looked at you with a stern face and started lecturing.]

"Uh..."

["If it were someone else, I might let it slide, but Mu You, don’t you remember how our parents taught us since we were kids? We always have to keep a kind heart towards little animals... because our family’s income comes from them. In a sense, these little animals are our bread and butter, they’re the ones who have supported our family... Without the little animals, there would be no you, and without you, there would be no me... Now that we’re well off, we shouldn’t forget our roots..."]

Mu You felt a headache coming on; it was just feeding some stray cats, why bring parents into it...

["Stop!" You quickly raised your hand, interrupting the Watchman’s rambling.]

["Mu You, you finally understand me!" the Watchman said excitedly.]

Mu You was helpless and had to get up to ask Little Ya for a bag of cat food, which he then brought back into the game for him.

"Can we go now?"

Another five minutes passed, and Mu You watched as the Watchman poured out all the cat food, carefully dividing it into several piles. Once all the kittens began to feed, Mu You couldn’t help but urge him again.

["Let’s go." The Watchman watched the kittens devouring the food, finally satisfied, and followed you as you left. "By the way, what’s the matter that had you so rushed, Mu You?"]

["It’s a long story, see for yourself."]

By that time, it was past midnight, and Mu You directly synced his memories with the Watchman in the game, and the two rode off on the Chocobo.

["Shocking! We’re actually located in the last era, how amazing!" the Watchman exclaimed in wonder after hearing the story.]

["Oh, so Mu You, are you suspecting that I might be that religious head of Bright Country?" the Watchman asked you.]

["What do you think?" you asked.]

["Hehe, I can only say that you’re overthinking it, Mu You. I can guarantee that this so-called Saint could absolutely not be me!" the Watchman said confidently.]

["Why not?"]

["Because, I fully inherited the attribute of Sloth. There’s nothing I hate more than 996 overtime. What’s more, managing a country’s daily necessities? I’d rather be killed. I assure you, if I were the Saint, I would absolutely not be able to do it for more than a few days before ditching work!" the Watchman declared with certainty.]

Mu You looked on with an odd expression on his face; Sloth certainly lived within the Watchman... But why do you sound so proud of that?

["Of course, there are other reasons. For example, the constant warfare between this Saint’s country and the neighboring Country of Calamity is something that would never happen with me, because I’m a pacifist. If I were the Saint, when the enemy attacked, I would surrender immediately. After all, it’s the civilians who are always hurt by war. If we can avoid war, what’s wrong with submission? Let them conquer if they like, and later on, I can just continue preaching in their country."]

["Just from that point alone, it could never be me, because his actions are completely against my principles," the Watchman said.]

Mu You looked mildly surprised; this reason did make some sense.

["Sloth is indeed a bit of a troublesome attribute, after talking for a while I’ve become sleepy again, too bad you can’t sleep on a chocobo... Of course, even without this attribute, I still think we should pay more attention to health preservation..."]

["Like how you’re already the strongest human, but you still overwork yourself unconsciously every day. But what’s the use of being so quick to improve, just like... That’s why you have to stop sometimes, to appreciate the scenery along the way..."]

...

Mu You was gradually understanding the feelings of those animals from before.

For the next two hours, he was subjected to incessant spiritual cleansing from the Watchman.

One piece of whimsical chicken soup after another popped up in the texts, and Mu You didn’t want to look, but he was afraid of missing some important information and had to always stay attentive.

This kind of odd chicken soup, glancing over a sentence or two was okay, but reading continuously for hours would pollute anyone’s spirit. At this moment, Mu You really felt an urge to punch him and shut him up.

["Coo..." You feel a fluff of feathers rustle behind you, and turning around, you see Little Phoenix struggling to crawl out of Watchman’s embrace, unable to escape, and can only send out a pitiful cry toward you.]

As expected, even Little Phoenix was close to vomiting from listening...

Mu You sighed. At this point, he actually started to believe that with this incarnation’s eloquence, he might truly have the potential to become the Head of Swindlers!

Mu You opened the input box, just about to persuade his incarnation to tone it down a bit, when suddenly the door was pushed open with a bang, and Fuya walked in, holding her phone and looking downcast.

"What’s wrong?" Mu You was startled.

It was now past two in the morning, and he had thought Fuya had gone to bed a long time ago, yet she was still grinding away at the game.

"I’ve been surrounded again..." Fuya said, on the brink of tears.

"Again?"

"It’s because of that kidnapping outside the city before, it seems that the person I kidnapped was from Brilliant City..."

Fuya sat down and helplessly recounted her recent experience in the game.

Brilliant City was indeed as the rumors said, every resident was kind and warm, every word and action carried a smile, it felt like basking in a spring breeze. She had no trouble finding out the location of the Radiant Saint’s church after entering the city.

And because the atmosphere was so good, it actually made her lower her guard, boldly planning to visit at night.

However, before she reached the place, she was stopped in the street by a group of knights, one of whom held a wanted poster in hand. After making the comparison, they immediately confirmed that she was the kidnapper on the poster, and they captured her on the spot to bring her to justice.

"Then what? Did they catch you?" Mu You asked.

"Yeah, there were too many of them..." Fuya said helplessly, "Besides, that’s when I realized that this country is so peaceful because they have severe punishments. The crime of kidnapping seems to lead to the pyre here, equivalent to the death penalty. I could only escape by going offline..."

"So what do you plan to do next?" Mu You felt some sympathy for her but was helpless since they were separated by an epoch. He couldn’t do anything until the results came out on Fuya’s side.

Speaking of this, Fuya finally showed a bit more spirit in her expression.

"Although it’s embarrassing to be cornered in the streets by a bunch of people, I also overheard a piece of news: Tomorrow morning at sunrise, the Radiant Saint will conduct the monthly public preaching in the square!"

"Oh? What do you intend to do?" Mu You raised an eyebrow.

"I’ll go all out."

Fuya’s eyes sparkled with determination, "Since I’m already branded a kidnapper, tomorrow morning, I plan to directly kidnap the Saint!"
