Chapter 35.53 Zi’ai and Schemes
The source of the spreading madness, “San Bu,” if we were to separately count Juncheng’s body parts, which were said to be in seven pieces, there were a total of nine.
Since Juncheng’s body parts were difficult to collect, they were temporarily put aside. The priority was to deal with the other two.
Li Nai and Ji Lianbing.
Li Nai’s whereabouts were currently unknown, so she would be dealt with later. The only one whose location was clearly understood was Bing.
Although theoretically, she should be the final, most difficult boss, if we were to take a “quick attack” route, she would have to be dealt with first.
If I could see Ji Lianbing, I would have some confidence, but the crucial point was, could we really reach the clock tower?
We were currently in Tianli Plaza, about five kilometers away from the clock tower. Saint could definitely catch me within that time.
Bringing along two burdens—Lily, who had lost her legs, and myself, who had no strength. As for Yang Shifan, he had some skills, but it would be difficult for the three of us to escape from her.
The same trick would be difficult to use a second time.
I need to find a way. What else is there now?
It was then that I suddenly noticed a display mannequin with a missing hand. It might have been the shopkeeper’s dark humor, but the severed hand was held in the mannequin’s own arms.
Reminded of someone, I asked Yang Shifan beside me.
“Hey, you pathetic guy, I have a question for you.”
“Uh, are you calling me ‘pathetic guy’? Um, this nickname…”
“It doesn’t matter what I call you. If I ask you something, just answer properly. Are you going to talk back?”
So fussy, not manly at all.
“Yes, please speak.”
“I remember you know how to summon ghosts, right?”
Yang Shifan was stunned, looking at me with a bewildered expression and answering.
“What are you talking about? I don’t…”

I was too lazy to watch his poor acting and directly exposed him.
“Stop playing dumb. Aren’t you someone with natural clairvoyance? One of your ‘Fates Witches,’ the ‘Witch of Good Endings,’ is a ghost, right? And you have the 1080 prayer beads. For you, summoning ghosts is the last resort, your trump card.”
After I said all that, Yang Shifan was so astonished his mouth hung open. His expression was like when Juncheng first saw me in the bathroom—utterly foolish.
“I feel like you know my every secret? Honestly, why do you know me so well? It’s a bit too terrifying, girl. Are you stalking me?”
“Stop being disgusting. Even if I were a stalker, I wouldn’t stalk a pathetic guy like you.”
*Bang*
“You’re really ruthless with your words, Ai-chan.”
“You don’t have to be polite to any man other than Juncheng. You’ll learn this gradually.”
“It’s just that to defeat an enemy, you must first understand the enemy.”
“So I was your enemy?”
“Juncheng’s enemy is my enemy.”
“Lanhua too… I guess I’ve provoked some formidable people.”
“It’s too late for you to know that now. So, make amends by doing as I say.”
Then, I briefly explained my plan to Yang Shifan. After listening, he still looked confused.
“Will this really be okay?”
“Just do as I say.”
“Alright, let’s start the plan. I’ll be the bait to lure Saint over. It’s inconvenient to bring Lily along, so I’ll leave her here for now. If you dare to do anything to Lily, I’ll cut off your third leg and feed it to the dogs.”
“Cough, cough, cough. I still need to set up the formation. When would I have time to do anything to her? What do you take me for! A beast! I’m a gentleman, you know!”

This pathetic guy finally couldn’t help but retort.
“Besides the men from An’s family, all other men are beasts.”
“Your bias is too extreme!”
*Hmph*, it’s just the truth.
Saint knows our location. Or rather, as soon as she enters search mode, she’ll definitely sense us.
This is because she tracks by soul. Once she’s seen someone, she can track their soul’s location.
So, I didn’t run too far away. Yang Shifan was setting up a formation downstairs, so I went straight to the top floor to wait for her.
After only a few minutes, a light rope suddenly emerged from the edge of the rooftop and wrapped around the railing. The next second, a certain nun arrived on the rooftop using this light rope.
This is the fifty-sixth floor. I don’t know how she climbed up. No, she probably didn’t climb the wall but ‘ran’ up the wall.
What a monster.
“Found you.”
At this moment, the nun had entered her second form. A cross was reflected in her pupils. Her nun’s habit, initially pure white, was now a regular nun’s habit, only the cross on it remaining spotless white.
“Sinner filled with filth, I won’t let you escape this time. I must purify you.”
“That sounds nice. In simple terms, you just want to dispose of us like trash, right?”
“I just want to guide you back to the embrace of the Lord.”
“Have you ever truly seen your Lord? In reality, that ‘Lord’ doesn’t exist at all, just an imagined false existence by a bunch of lunatics.”
My complete denial of her faith, even though Saint had a good temper, made her frown at this moment.
“The Lord exists.”
“Can’t communicate? Have you given up on thinking and had your brain removed?”
How pathetic.
“You’re deliberately here to stall for time, aren’t you? Those two below seem to be doing something, but no matter what they do, they can’t escape the Lord’s judgment. After dealing with you, I’ll go deal with those two demons. I want to know, why is ‘Baptism of Light’ ineffective on you? You are clearly a sinner.”
“Oh? You’re actually thinking?”
This is truly strange. In my memory, Saint was initially stubborn, or rather, more like a robot.
She wouldn’t ask why, nor did she have any desires, only coldly and ruthlessly executing the ‘purification mission.’
The church’s most perfect creation, the iron-blooded nun (assassin).

Now that she has something she wants to know, it’s both a good and a troublesome thing.
I leisurely walked to the edge of the rooftop, climbed over the railing, and spread my arms.
“That’s because I am very devout, Miss Nun. I have my own faith.”
“I have faith too…”
“No, you don’t.”
I glanced back at Saint, and for some reason, I suddenly felt like laughing.
“Steadfast until death, never wavering. That is the faith of my life. Can you, who have been deceived by false faith until now, understand?”
Without fear, without hesitation, I leaped down.
I caught a glimpse of her wavering expression. She reached out to me, unconsciously shouting.
“Don’t…”
I turned around and saw her at the spot where I had just jumped. A light rope extended towards me.
Still with a smile, I said to her.
Although my voice was drowned out by the whistling wind, I believed she understood my words.
“Saving me, a sinner?”
“Reaching out to me also means you’re betraying your faith, right?”
The light rope stopped in mid-air, and I was about to fall to my… But it wouldn’t look good to see a beautiful girl smashed to smithereens!
I didn’t want to show such an ugly sight either!
“Lily!”

“I’m here!”
Lily suddenly flew out of a window on the second-to-last floor and caught me. On the ground, a soft object protruded, acting as a cushion.
“I already told you not to call me pathetic guy! Eight Directions Ghost Binding Formation!”
Activating the formation he had set up, the entire building turned into a ghost building. All the windows shattered, and countless ghosts emerged.
Yang Shifan might have gathered all the ghosts summoned in this city here. These ghosts, hidden in the dark and now concentrated in one place, must be panicking.
Besides, there was a natural enemy of theirs there.
Radiant light.
I must say, the person who gave her the name Saint was quite talented. She truly lived up to her name.
Sacrosanct and inviolable.
Even if countless ghosts launched suicidal attacks on Saint, they couldn’t do anything to her.
Standing on the rooftop, looking down at us, she seemed to say, “These ghosts can’t do anything to me.”
I never intended to deal with you using these brainless ghosts.
Saint also jumped from the rooftop, swinging her holy sword.
*Clang*.
The sound of metal clashing.
It was blocked.
“Heh, what a shame. I’m not the one who’s going to fight you.”
The intention behind Yang Shifan summoning these ghosts was to attract ‘her,’ not to trap you.
“I’m not underestimating you. I see you as a tiger, so to deal with you, I specifically brought a lion.”
Blocking that holy slash was a petite figure.
But it looked incredibly reliable.
“How many people have you killed? Oh, lost souls…”
“Noisy, I’ll kill you.”
Jiang Xueqing arrived at the scene.
