Chapter 273: Chapter 237: Xiao Yi Prayed to God_2

"...Huh?"

Letticia’s words made Xiao Yi furrow his brows.

Xiao Yi also remembered Letticia was a person with faith, fundamentally incompatible with him.

So, Xiao Yi sighed and said, "Don’t speak nonsense. God or whatever, does not exist. You still don’t know that... No, you definitely don’t agree, right?"

"Hmm?" However, Letticia said, "The non-existence of God has been clear to me from the beginning."

"...What did you say?" Xiao Yi was stunned; he couldn’t understand, "Knowing God doesn’t exist, yet still believing? How could that be..."

"There’s nothing impossible about it," Letticia said. "Faith in God, when you get down to it, isn’t a big deal at all—it’s just a kind of thought. A very common, usual form of thought."

"Thought?"

"Yes, thought. People live in this world and always need some kind of thought—like dreams, family, aspirations. With thought, one has the motivation to live, to move forward. Moreover, when faced with pressure, suffering, thought can help oneself hold on and get through it. Thus, faith is not devoutness towards God but a thought that God can bring happiness. What God is, whether or not He exists, actually doesn’t matter at all."

"...Is that so?" Xiao Yi suddenly remembered someone who had said something similar to him.

And he had forgotten...

Letticia continued to speak with a smile: "That gentleman taught me this knowledge, and I felt redemption, redemption through knowledge, which only strengthened my faith. Therefore, a faith that forces people to believe and follow, without a doubt, is wrong. That’s why I want to teach this knowledge to more people... to bring redemption to many."

"..." Xiao Yi seemed to somewhat understand her point.

Seeing Xiao Yi like this, Letticia immediately said somewhat excitedly: "By the way, if you don’t mind, you can pray to that completely transcendent God who is beyond our cognition, who doesn’t care about our thoughts, nameless and formless unknown God in our understanding."

"Err..." Xiao Yi was somewhat at a loss, "Why start proselytizing whenever there’s an opportunity, and... to believe in a nameless, formless God who doesn’t care about our thoughts, what’s there to believe in?"

"You don’t understand, that’s where the charm lies," Letticia said more excitedly. "Don’t you think a god with personal emotions, who forces people to do things and extorts money, is really trashy? Just like a selfish person’s disgusting and boring fantasies.

"But, a nameless, formless, and incomprehensible God gives a feeling of being powerful, grand. Moreover, exactly because He does not care, He never forces anything on us, much less asks for money! Just existing there is enough to make everything yield! Merely knowing brings a sense of satisfaction, just like cold, hard science, difficult to comprehend but powerful! Don’t you think it’s cool?"

"Like... like science?"

Xiao Yi thought carefully; science seemed not much different to him from that nameless, formless, incomprehensible God, because he had no understanding of those laws and principles.

But that did not stop him from thinking the power of science was incredible!

"Indeed!" In that moment, Xiao Yi understood everything!

In Xiao Yi’s heart, the concept of God underwent a revolution.

Letticia went on to say, "See? So anyway, since it doesn’t cost money, why not give praying a shot?"

"...Might as well."

Xiao Yi no longer resisted and so... he offered a prayer to God.

After that, Letticia, having taken some medicine that Doctor Carl had prescribed, left.

And Xiao Yi laid down to sleep.

That night, Xiao Yi slept somewhat better compared to before.

Although the hallucinations did not ease in the slightest, the sense of oppression in Xiao Yi’s mind had lessened a lot.

...

The next day, Carl didn’t leave home to go to the clinic to work.

He said, how could he possibly feel like going to work when such a thing had happened at home and his daughter had been so frightened.

So, Carl gave the keys to another doctor at the clinic, asking them to take care of it for a day. It was also arranged for someone to handle the medicine Xiao Yi needed, and all they could do now was wait.

Letticia, just as usual, came to Carl’s house to work, and her condition seemed much improved from the day before, it appeared her fever had mostly subsided.

As for Xiao Yi, he had not planned to go out anyway, so now there was even less reason to do so.

Today, he would spend with these people in this house.

"Ah..."

Then, Xiao Yi encountered Gladys.

She was no longer as scared as she had been the day before, looking like she had completely overcome last night’s fear.

Seeing Xiao Yi, Gladys also smiled at him, seeming not as shy as before.

"...Brother Xiao Yi!" she said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I haven’t thanked you yet. Thanks to you, I wasn’t hurt by that strange uncle. You saved my life, I’m really grateful!"

As for Xiao Yi, he was at a loss for words in that moment.

Just then, a knocking sound suddenly came from outside the door.

Xiao Yi immediately walked to the door and upon opening it, he saw the gentleman.

"Hello," the gentleman said, still smiling slightly, "I’ve come to see you and Doctor Carl as we agreed."

At the same time, there was a small figure following behind the gentleman... it was Tiya.

"Brother! We meet again!"

Tiya immediately threw herself at Xiao Yi, hugging his hand tightly and rubbing her little face affectionately against his hand.

The gentleman said with a smile, "As soon as this child heard I was going to see you, she asked to come along, and of course, I couldn’t refuse... She really does like you."

Xiao Yi, for his part, didn’t mind; he had grown somewhat accustomed to being liked by children.

But... one person did show a displeased expression.

Gladys’s little brows were almost squeezed together; she was quite dissatisfied.

Thus, the introverted Gladys immediately clung tightly to Xiao Yi’s other hand and asked Tiya with obvious unhappiness:

"You... who are you? Are you close with Brother Xiao Yi?"

[...Uh?]

Although nobody else felt anything amiss, thinking it was just children playing around.

But! The viewers in the live stream felt that the atmosphere was off!

[Could it be... No! This, this, this isn’t right... no, this is not legal!]

[They are still just children! This can’t happen!]

[Somewhat unexpected...]

The gentleman’s visit, aside from discussing hallucinations with Carl and Xiao Yi, was also to catch up with Carl.

As for Xiao Yi, through the conversation between the two, had already distinguished which things he’d seen were hallucinations and which were reality.

However, those details weren’t important, the focus was on what to do next.

So, Xiao Yi just treated it as casual chat.

After all, he wasn’t going out today, might as well pass the time.

But just because Xiao Yi didn’t go out looking for trouble, it didn’t mean that trouble wouldn’t come looking for him.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, an intense sound erupted from the door.

But it was not the sound of knocking; it was the sound of forcefully breaking in!

Then... an unexpected person appeared in Carl’s house.

"What...!" Carl immediately questioned him, "Hele, I don’t recall inviting you, and you certainly have no right to barge into someone else’s home!"

However, Hele paid no attention to him, but instead gave the following orders to the large group of security personnel who had followed him:

"She’s right there, take her down and bring her back."

Then, the person Hele pointed out was also beyond everyone’s expectation.

...It was Letticia.

"...Eh?"
