Chapter 251: Chapter 228: Special Attack on the Little Girl

"..."

Watching those once cheerful, carefree girls suddenly turn into creatures who could harm life with expressionless faces, even smiling at the abnormality, the audience in the live stream room all felt a chill.

They could no longer tell if this sudden scene was reality or a hallucination?

But what happened next left them no time to think further.

They saw the woman suddenly look sharply in Xiao Yi’s direction, crying out in alarm,

"There’s someone there!"

Hearing this, the many girls who were in the middle of some ritual also immediately let out startled screams and scattered in all directions.

"...Caught, huh," thought Xiao Yi. Since he’d been discovered, he didn’t bother hiding any longer and stepped out into the open.

However, by the time Xiao Yi came out, the girls had already run far away.

The woman seemed to want to escape, too, but her body appeared very frail.

Her escape was not only incredibly slow, but she also fell to the ground after only a few steps.

Xiao Yi walked over unhurriedly and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Ahhh!" But she didn’t listen to Xiao Yi’s words, consumed by fear, she pleaded, "Don’t report me, I beg of you! I haven’t done anything wrong! Please don’t report me!"

"Report?" Xiao Yi was puzzled, "What would I report you for? I believe you haven’t done anything atrocious, right?"

"...Eh?" Hearing what Xiao Yi said, the woman was stunned.

She knew in her heart that anyone who saw them harming that poor lamb would think they were doing something bad, right?

Anyone would think that they were conducting an evil ritual.

And... in today’s town, it was not allowed to have other beliefs. It was an unforgivable sin! Severe punishment was inevitable! That’s why she and the girls were so frightened.

She had intended to use her knowledge to try some slick talk, seeing if she could deceive this person in front of her who seemed easy to fool.

But unexpectedly, this was his way of thinking!? It was truly unbelievable.

"...Are you serious?" She couldn’t help but ask in return, "You saw that scene just now and you actually think we did nothing wrong?"

"Hmm? Of course," Xiao Yi replied puzzledly, "Aren’t you just preparing to roast a whole lamb?"

The woman: "...Ah?"

[...Ah?]

The folks in the live stream room were also taken aback. To imagine things in that direction, given that eerie scene... it was a line of thought they had not expected.

Xiao Yi continued, "You can’t just make food out of a living animal, right? That’s too cruel, surely you have to slaughter it first. And I’ve heard, usually, you have to bleed the animal, otherwise, the meat will be very smelly... Isn’t what you were doing just bleeding it to prepare for roasting a whole lamb?"

"This..."

Although it was a statement that worked in her favor, she did not immediately admit along with Xiao Yi’s words, but stood frozen in place, unsure of what to say for a moment.

Then, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but reflect aloud:

"When it comes down to it, those girls are truly remarkable, aren’t they? They’re so young, all girls, yet they can handle live ingredients so calmly. That’s something many adults find difficult to do. Such mental fortitude really commands respect... But then again, why did those brave girls run away at the sight of me? Could it be that I look very terrifying, like some demon or a tyrant?"

"...Forget it."

The woman let out a long sigh, her heart finally feeling a little relieved.

She was now convinced that the Xiao Yi in front of her meant her no harm and was not a bad person. Nor someone sent specifically to arrest her; otherwise, he would not waste time with her.

So she introduced herself to Xiao Yi:

"My name is Letticia. You must be a foreigner, right? I am too. I’m currently working as a maid for a family in town to make a living. As for why those girls ran away, they weren’t scared of you but scared that you would report them to the Church Court. If you did that, the Church Court would indeed judge them, and they would naturally be afraid."

"I see..."

Xiao Yi remembered that the bar owner had also mentioned this to him not long ago. It seemed that the Church Court and the Grand Priest here really ruled with an iron fist.

However, Xiao Yi now had another question.

He immediately asked:

"So aren’t you supposed to refrain from singing and dancing? Why would you dare do something like this here?"

"There was no choice," Letticia replied, "Because I was cursed."

But when Letticia spoke these words, the expression on her face was one of pride.

She went on,

"I am afflicted with the curse called ’knowledge.’ I came to understand that people are born free and should not have their freedom limited in any way. Even belief should be freely chosen, not forced upon someone. So, I absolutely can’t tolerate those dictatorial, tyrannical tactics! Even at the risk of my life, I can’t bear to submit... Despite how scared I was just now, that’s true."

"I see..." Xiao Yi asked again, "Are those girls around you for the same reason?"

"Them..." Letticia smiled wryly, "I want to teach these children, who represent the future, more knowledge. But most likely, they’re here to satisfy their own rebellious spirits, seeking to unwind and seek the approval of the sole adult who supports them, right? They don’t even really understand which God they believe in. However, if even one person takes it to heart, then the risk I’ve taken is worth it."
