Chapter 278: Chapter 240: Burning

"Monster! Another monster!"

The piercing screams and the judges, standing at the ready and seeming prepared to strike at any moment, all seemed to prove that what Xiao Yi saw—the figure of Letticia—was not a hallucination.

"This... How is this possible? A person... transforming into a monster..."

That was absolutely impossible.

But Xiao Yi couldn’t tell. What exactly was happening right in front of him?

Could it be... that the monster he saw and these people, poised for battle against the monster, were all just his hallucinations?

Xiao Yi couldn’t tell, so... he could only stand there in confusion, at a complete loss as to what to do.

However, while Xiao Yi was confused, those from the Church Court certainly were not going to just stand by and watch.

"Take action, arrest her," Hele immediately ordered.

The others approached Letticia as well, clenching the guns and blades in their hands, with no intention of holding back.

"...!" Xiao Yi was startled and immediately realized he had no time for confusion; he quickly positioned himself in front of Letticia and said, "Wait! She’s not a monster!"

"...At this point, what nonsense are you still spouting?" Looking at Xiao Yi, Hele sighed slightly and said, "Open your eyes and look! Her appearance at this moment is without doubt a sacrifice to the Evil God!"

Indeed, the current appearance of Letticia couldn’t be explained by common sense, but even so, this was no reason to give up.

"..." Xiao Yi’s expression was grim. He could only weakly retort, "God does... not exist..."

"God does exist," Hele declared coldly. "Otherwise, how would you explain the current situation? I’ve said it before, God truly exists..."

"I..."

Xiao Yi had no heart to argue with this blind believer in God any longer; he was ready to escape from here with Letticia immediately!

Even he could see, in the current situation, that if Letticia were to be caught, it would nearly be certain death! The chances of survival were extremely slim!

Therefore, he must make every effort to help her escape from here.

But then...

"Restrain him."

Following Hele’s command, Xiao Yi was soon pushed to the ground!

And then, the weight of five or six men was bearing down on him!

"...Ugh!"

Currently possessing only the physical fitness of an ordinary person, Xiao Yi couldn’t move at all under such pressure.

The weight of five or six men, Xiao Yi didn’t think an ordinary person like himself could shake it off.

Even if Xiao Yi wanted to break free from these men’s grip, he couldn’t break free from the grip of common sense.

Xiao Yi was thus pinned to the ground, totally immobilized.

And then... he could only watch helplessly as Letticia, who showed no intention of resisting, was shackled by the judges of the Church Court.

Since Xiao Yi was not a criminal, he wasn’t shackled, but his situation wasn’t much better.

Currently restrained, Xiao Yi was still in no state to use any force.

"..." Xiao Yi didn’t pay attention to his own plight, and instead glared at Hele, asking coldly, "You... what do you plan to do with her?"

Depending on the situation, Xiao Yi was ready to sever one or even both of his hands if necessary.

"..." Hele seemed to see Xiao Yi’s determination in his eyes and after a moment of silence, answered, "That’s not for me to decide. According to the rules of the Church Court, even those who have committed grave sins must stand trial. A judgement can only be made after consultation with the Church personnel and representatives chosen by the public, and this process generally takes one to three days."

"..." Xiao Yi wasn’t sure whether Hele was telling the truth, so he looked around at the people nearby to gauge their reactions.

Hearing Hele’s words, those around showed no particular reactions, which indicated that what he said was indeed true; otherwise, they would have likely shown surprise.

Moreover, though they hadn’t met many times, Xiao Yi could tell that Hele was a person who took his faith seriously. He would likely not fool around in this matter and would abide by the rules.

Besides, Xiao Yi didn’t really have a choice in the current situation anyway.

Hele continued, "As for you... you’ve committed the crime of harboring a follower of the Evil God, but considering you are an atheist and unaware of the follower’s condition. Based on God’s mercy, payment of a fine will suffice. However, since you are still not calm, it would be better to have someone take you to your friend to cool down."

No sooner had Hele finished speaking than Xiao Yi was taken away.

Xiao Yi thought that the trial was at least a day away, and with his limited individual strength, it would be better to discuss the situation with Carl.

Thus, Xiao Yi didn’t resist. He just set off, watching Letticia being taken farther and farther away from him.

After dealing with Xiao Yi, Hele looked towards Letticia and coldly issued another command.

"Take her away! To the central square!"

...

"...Xiao Yi!"

Inside the Church’s cathedral, Carl and Gladys saw Xiao Yi being brought back under escort and hurried over.

Hele had ordered Xiao Yi to be brought to Carl’s side, and Xiao Yi remembered that he had parted with Carl at the cathedral; perhaps he was still there.

Therefore, Xiao Yi had those men bring him to the cathedral.

And as Xiao Yi had thought, Carl was still there.

Upon arriving at the cathedral, the people escorting Xiao Yi released him, and then they just left.

Rushing over, Carl anxiously asked, "Xiao Yi, are you okay? And what about Letticia..."
