Chapter 275: Chapter 238: Forbidden Knowledge_2

Fear clung to her spine like a hundred-legged centipede.

"Wait."

Just as Letticia was about to be taken away, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but step forward and said coldly,

"Are you arresting someone for such a trivial reason? Instead of wasting time on this, it’s better to get a medical examiner to investigate the body."

"It’s you again." Seeing Xiao Yi, Hele furrowed his brows, "There is no need to investigate the body, it is undoubtedly the doing of the Evil God..."

"What Evil God?! That doesn’t exist!" Xiao Yi shouted angrily, "It has nothing to do with the Evil God. That girl must have contracted some illness! So, instead of wasting time here, it’s better to investigate...!"

"God! It exists..." This time, it was Hele who interrupted Xiao Yi, his voice cold, "This matter is certainly the work of the Evil God, which is an undeniable fact! Therefore, stop contradicting me with your foolish beliefs."

Having said this, Hele walked away without looking back. Naturally, the police officers under his command also followed his steps.

"You..."

Xiao Yi wanted to follow, but... Carl reached out and stopped him.

"Let it go..." Carl said, "The innocent will clear themselves. It has nothing to do with Letticia, and she will be released; it’s just a matter of time. Besides..."

As Carl spoke, he glanced again at Gladys, who had been scared once more, and sighed softly.

"And... I won’t just sit by and do nothing."

"..." Listening to Carl’s words, Xiao Yi reluctantly unclenched his fists.

On Letticia’s end, feeling that no one was rushing out, she also felt a bit relieved.

Indeed, that was the most appropriate calm choice right now; acting impulsively wouldn’t solve anything.

Although still very afraid, Letticia was resolved to take responsibility for her actions.

However... as soon as she stepped out of the room, Letticia realized that the doorway was already crowded with many townspeople.

This small town had been suppressed for too long, thus a small incident would draw a crowd.

They didn’t care about what had happened or about anyone; they simply sought a diversion to vent their frustrations.

As a result, Letticia inevitably heard such talk among the bustling crowd.

"Look, there’s another incident at Doctor Carl’s house."

"This time, I heard that Doctor Carl harbored a follower of the Evil God! She has always been conducting evil rituals, and this time it even led to a death!"

"That Carl, he must have known about this all along but chose to remain silent, if that’s not harboring, what is? He might... no, he must also be a follower of the Evil God!"

"What are you saying?! That Doctor Carl is actually a follower of the Evil God, ah! I completely didn’t see his true colors, he really deceived us so badly!"

"I always wondered how someone could heal people for free without expecting anything in return. He must have ulterior motives, perhaps he has already branded us with the mark of the Evil God!"

"Ah... how despicable, how abominable, to think I once trusted him so much... it’s disgusting!"

Hearing the words of the people around, Letticia couldn’t help but stop in her tracks.

How foolish these people were... she thought.

Had they so easily discarded their trust in someone who had once helped them?

Moreover, they hardly mentioned her, because they disdain her, an outsider, from the bottom of their hearts.

To be ignored is a deeper contempt than to be insulted.

They truly looked down on outsiders, even though this place was not any bustling metropolis. She couldn’t understand where their sense of misplaced pride came from.

"Hey! What are you doing!? Keep moving!" the policeman saw Letticia stopping and shouted sternly at her.

"Hmph... Ha ha! Hahaha!"

Foolish, just too foolish! Foolish to the point of being laughable!

Therefore, Letticia couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

The question of why people were so foolish... Letticia soon found the answer.

Because people had not been exposed to the right knowledge, knowing only that God is absolutely right, so they were so foolish!

"What... what’s wrong? Could she be... controlled by the Evil God?"

Seeing Letticia’s strange behavior, the policemen also got scared and instinctively moved away from her, fearing that they might be harmed by the so-called Evil God.

And this provided Letticia with the opportunity, so she poured out the words in her heart without a hint of scheming!

"You... why are you so foolish?" she loudly questioned everyone around her.

"Questioning and slandering someone who stretches out a helping hand to you, yet you worship this so-called God who imposes countless restrictions and collects the wealth you have worked hard to earn! Don’t you realize that’s the true Evil God!? So, wake up! Pursue true happiness!"

...!?

Everyone around was stunned into silence.

Hele immediately frowned and reprimanded his subordinates, "What are you doing!? Stop her at once! Don’t let her speak these dangerous, disrespectful words again!"

Only then did the police come to their senses and quickly escorted Letticia away.

And Xiao Yi, standing by the door, could only watch powerlessly as Letticia was taken away.

He actually wished that what he saw was a Hallucination, but he knew well that it was not a hallucination.

Hallucinations could only be seen by oneself, and the reactions of so many people around him had long negated the possibility that it was a hallucination.

Xiao Yi couldn’t help but think, he was after all just an ordinary person, what else could he do?

Pray to God?

...

In the cold, damp prison, Letticia continuously recited prayers to God.

This was her only method of consoling herself.

"Return! Return!"

"Return! Return!"

"I, among the lowly people, ignite the filthy marrow of thought in our hands, begging for the touch of Your fingertips!"

"Cross through the slumber within the clinging mist, return from the void! Show forth that flowing light!"

"We wait, for Your return, to end all suffering in this world with extreme madness."

"Happiness is here, happiness is here..."

Letticia didn’t beg for a response from God, as that was entirely beyond her comprehension, a nameless and formless unknown existence.

How could God possibly take a small person’s plea seriously?

But... if God were merely to develop a slight thought or inadvertently noticed her situation, then... the unintended power that God might generate would be enough to allow her to break through her current predicament!

Such a magnificent existence was He!

Yet, Letticia understood that God didn’t exist—it was just her own wishful thinking, a fantasy born of helplessness.

However, at that moment, Letticia suddenly saw a dazzling light.

In the dark prison, the light gathered and dispersed...

Then, Letticia’s eyes, capable of perceiving the light, witnessed... an existence she could absolutely not comprehend.

"Ah..."

Watching this unknown existence, Letticia shed tears of emotion.

"Ah... finally, You have responded to me, finally... returned!"

Subsequently, Letticia acquired an object from that unknown existence, something about which she had heard—the eldest son of the Glor family had brought it back from an enigmatic island that had appeared and then vanished, a stone resembling a piece of meat.

Immediately, that piece of meat... began to twist and then transform into a slightly elaborate book.

"Is this... forbidden knowledge?"

Looking at the book that had descended into her hands, Letticia hesitated, then firmly shook her head.

"No, this is not forbidden knowledge, this is... the knowledge of redemption, capable of rescuing people from their suffering!"

In the next instant, the prison door was already open.

Letticia also understood what she had to do next. With that, she hugged the book and walked out of the prison.

"I... must share this knowledge of redemption with more people! I must bring salvation to those unaware people on this small, backward planet! Rescue them from the suffering of ignorance! Grant them wisdom!"
