Chapter 104: Love Welfare Institute (2/2)
The dean pressed Bai Liu (6)’s head under the water in an expressionless manner. Bubbles spilled out of Bai Liu (6)’s mouth and nose. His expression was calm without the twisted fear of a drowning person. Even though he felt like he was really going to drown now, he had become a bit used to the painful feeling of drowning.
Bai Liu (6)’s eyes completely closed. He released his grip on both sides of the pool and sank into the water. His entire body floated in the clear water of the pool like he was unconscious. The coin on his chest floated out of his clothes and shone in the water.
“Okay!” The dean grabbed the coin fiercely and screamed. “How dare you steal from the investor? You sinful, devil’s child!”
She continued to torture Bai Liu (6) and Bai Liu (6) thought he was really going to drown in such a boring way. Then there was an earth-shaking explosion outside the church and a bright red system warning popped up in front of Bai Liu (6).
[System warning: Warning! Warning! Player Bai Liu’s main identity line is experiencing a sharp drop in health. Please stay away from the dangerous scene quickly!]
[…The health of player Bai Liu’s main identity line has dropped to 2… dropped to 1… warning! Player Bai Liu’s main identity line is about to die!]
The church also shook from the explosion and the dean finally stopped torturing Bai Liu (6). She turned and walked toward the outside of the church. “What is happening that there is such a big noise?”
Bai Liu (6) struggled to get up from the baptismal pool. He sat in the pool with no emotion on his face, breathing weakly. He was looking up at the statue beside the pool but his eyes were focused on the system’s red warning that kept popping up.
Before long, the dean came back with a gloomy face. “There was an explosion in the private hospital. Tomorrow’s matching ceremony will be canceled. Did you mess with something when you stole from an investor?!”
As she spoke, she violently grabbed Bai Liu (6)’s throat and pressed him back into the water. Bai Liu (6) didn’t struggle. He really didn’t have the strength to struggle.
He lay in the water, eyes half open. His face was pale, his lips were purple and his pupils slightly contracted due to suffocation and lack of oxygen. Behind the red, transparent modern panel in his eyes was the strange god tied to the reverse cross by thorns.
This strange scene made Bai Liu (6)’s mind a bit scattered.
Was there really a God in the world? Didn’t his other self say that if he changed his name to Bai Liu, God would care for him? He could barely be considered a good boy tonight. Why didn’t God bless him?
The god’s eyes suddenly moved. He opened his pure white, pupil-less eyes and looked down at Bai Liu (6), who was being forcibly baptized in the pool. There was a type of warm light around his body. The strange movement of the thorns seemed to want to bind him tighter but the holy brilliance still caused Bai Liu (6) to fall into a trance. It was as if he was being sheltered by something.
[System warning: The health of player Bai Liu has continued to decline… Player Bai Liu’s health has stopped falling. The remaining health value is 0.5. Player Bai Liu’s main identity line has survived.]
[System warning: The NPC dean has tried to kill a child in the church, triggering God’s taboo.]
[God will bring down punishment.]
The dean seemed to be thrown away by an invisible air wave. She hit a pillar of the church with a scream.
Even so, the punishment didn’t stop. The thorns on the cross grew and countless branches sprouted from the ground to wrap around the dean. She was wrapped all over by the thorns, leaving only a pair of eyes that could be seen through the thorns. She looked at Bai Liu (6) who crawled out of the baptismal pool and the god who opened his eyes behind Bai Liu (6). Then she trembled with fear and knelt down to pray for mercy.
“No, God, I didn’t mean to drown him. I was just teaching a sinful child a lesson. No, God, please don’t punish me like this—ahhhhhh!”
The next second, the thorns tightened.
The dean’s blood splashed on the marble floor of the church as she raised her head and made a harsh scream. The thorns dug into her mouth and skin and moved violently inside her body like a meat grinder. Soon, she shook and her head tied by thorns drooped.
The blood from her body was like the water droplets on Bai Liu (6)’s body. They dripped to the ground and joined together.
She instantly became a corpse. The thorns slowly put the body on the ground. The body had only been there for a few seconds before turning into data points of light that disappeared from the church.
