Lu Ji said as he looked at Ulu with a smile.

Ulu's expression was stiff and he had a hard time maintaining a smile.

Twenty years ago, Luji was already the priest of this church, and Uru was a little boy who had no food to eat.

It was also a disaster year. Father Luji was standing where Ulu is now, and Ulu was standing where the little boy was.

Originally, he was about to forget many things, but when Lu Ji appeared, those memories came flooding back uncontrollably.

And Luji, just like he did twenty years ago, walked up to the little boy and gently stroked his cheek: "Ah, what spiritual eyes, my Lord will definitely like a child like you. Come, tell me, are you in any trouble?"

The little boy looked at Ulu, then at Luji, and finally stated his needs.

"Oh, what sad news." Lu Ji sighed softly, "Such disasters always bring one tragedy after another."

Luggie said as he moved his hand from the little boy's head to his shoulder.

“Rules are rules…” Lu Ji leaned down slowly and whispered in the little boy’s ear, “But it’s not completely unacceptable. I still have some food. Since you are so filial, come to me tonight and I can share some with you.”

The little boy immediately raised his head, and the hope in his eyes that had turned gray was rekindled at this moment: "Really, really?"

Lu Ji smiled: "Of course it's true."

The little boy's face flushed with excitement. He couldn't wait, but he stammered, "Then, where should I go to find you?"

"Haha... don't worry." Lu Ji stood up, then smiled and looked at Ulu, his eyes flashing with a different color, "In the evening, you can go find Father Ulu first. He knows where my room is and will bring you to see me."

After that, Luggie patted the little boy on the head and let him leave first.

Then, he walked over to Ulu as if nothing had happened and chuckled, "This kid really looks like you back then, doesn't he?"

Bai Wei saw that Ulu's body was as stiff as a stone.

"Bring him to me tonight." Lu Ji suddenly patted Ulu.

At this moment, Uruna's originally stiff body shook again as if he had been electrocuted.

Lu Ji naturally noticed it as well, and then left with a big laugh.

When Lu Ji left, Ulu suddenly raised his head and stared at his back.

Those conversations that he thought he had forgotten suddenly came to his mind again.

When Ulu thought about this, his teeth were almost broken.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" He cursed in his heart, "You bastard! Why don't you die? Why don't you die?!"

Ulu was so angry that he apparently forgot something and vented his resentment and anger towards Luji in his heart.

"One day, I will kill you!"

Uru said through gritted teeth.

Then, he heard the voice that almost made his heart and lungs stop: "Oh? Is this your prayer to me?"

Ulu was stunned. He lowered his head subconsciously and found that his originally limp middle finger seemed to have suddenly woken up and stood proudly.

Although that finger had no eyes, Ulu could still feel the irresistible gaze and pressure that was coming at him.

"You, want to kill him?"

Chapter 4: "You taste better than Uru"

This is a very strange scene.

The priest, a symbol of the holiness of the church, locked himself in the room in broad daylight with even the windows closed, as if he had done something wrong.

His behavior was equally strange. At this moment, he was muttering to himself to his left hand as if he was possessed by a demon: "I don't have such thoughts. Father Luigi and I actually have a very good relationship."

And his left hand, or more precisely, the middle finger of his left hand, was quietly "looking" at him. Although a finger could not have an expression, he could still sense the disdainful mockery from it, because this finger was not concealed at all.

This weird combination is naturally Bai Wei and Ulu.

"You don't need to be so nervous." Bai Wei interrupted Wu Lu's endless explanation, "I just said it casually. What you do is completely up to you."

Five minutes ago, Wu Lu was still distributing porridge outside, but after Bai Wei asked him whether he wanted to kill Lu Ji, Wu Lu was like a frightened quail. He immediately dropped the work in his hands and ran back to the room to hide.

"I, I'm not nervous." Uru tried to defend himself, "Father Luigi's ability is higher than mine. I'm just afraid that he will discover your presence."

Uru's voice became smaller and smaller. It was obvious that he also understood how outrageous what he said was. If an old priest who was about to die could perceive Visas' existence at a glance, then Visas would not be worthy of having the reputation that frightened the gods.

But Bai Wei did not expose Ulu's lies because there was no need. Ulu's current reaction was completely within his expectations.

Even after gaining his own power, Ulu is definitely not the type of person who would say "I'm going to turn the tables and overthrow the world". Otherwise, he wouldn't have been forced to stay in this remote little church in his prime, being suppressed by the old priest who already had one foot in the grave. He would even feel afraid to see him, and would subconsciously think that he is inferior to the other party without even fighting.

This is also related to people's personality. Some people will become desperate after having an experience like Ulu, but after despair they will fight for survival.

But Ulu is different. After despair, he will only sink into despair, and then try his best to convince himself that this is how the world is.

Life is not just bitter, it's also salty and fishy. In order to survive, you have to swallow it all.

But if it were just this, it would be fine, he would just be a poor man who bowed to fate. But Uru is different. Twenty years ago, he was the little boy played with by the priest, and twenty years later, he became the priest who played with the little boy. He would vent his suffering a hundred times or a thousand times on others. His anger towards Lugi was not only because of his childhood experience, but also because of the thought that "it should be my turn now, but why don't you abdicate and stand in my way?"

Therefore, the players' evaluation of Uru is very accurate - stupid, cowardly and bad.

Bai Wei knew very well that such a person could not be forced.

The more he was pushed, the more cowardly he became, and in the end he messed up things that he should have done well.

When facing such a person, the best approach is obviously...

Bai Wei said softly, "It's meaningless."

Ulu didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"

"I say, it's meaningless." Bai Wei said calmly, "When did you have to go through so much trouble to kill someone? And the person was weaker than you."

"No, no, no, I'm just..." Uru subconsciously wanted to explain himself, but halfway through his words he realized something, "Wait, what did you just say? Father Luigi... is weaker than me?"

"What else?" Bai Wei asked, "Why do you think an old, dying guy is better than you?"

"…Because Father Luji was already a clergyman twenty years ago." Uru said subconsciously, "In the realm of the extraordinary, he was many years ahead of me."

"Haha, in your eyes, the supernatural realm is just a place to spend your life? And..." Bai Wei said, holding his head high, "Don't you still have me?"

Ulu stared blankly at the upright middle finger. He felt an invisible pressure spreading from this finger, causing his remaining four fingers to stick tightly to his palm, as humble as a mortal crawling before the gods.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that Father Luigi... seemed to be nothing.

Bai Wei also clearly saw that Wu Lu's confused look gradually turned into a cold one.

Haha, this is what Bai Wei is going to do.

Instead of forcing Uru to fight an enemy stronger than him, it is better to directly label that enemy as a weakling.

In this way, Uruna's nature of fearing the strong and bullying the weak will be triggered, and his "badness" will outweigh his "cowardice".

"I can kill him, I can kill him." Ulu stood up and began to pace back and forth in the room. "Now I can kill him, I can already..."

Ulu became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he could no longer suppress the murderous intent in his heart. The next second he was about to rush out with a knife and kill Luji.

But at this moment, the little rationality left in his mind came out, causing him to stop and become a little hesitant again.

"But...do I need to kill him?"

He was even a little confused. Why did he suddenly want to kill Lu Ji?

Isn't this progress a bit too sudden?

Bai Wei had anticipated this.

Now all Ulu needs is a reason to take action.

"Because he blocked your way." Bai Wei said calmly.

All you need to say is this one sentence.

Because Ulu will complete the rest himself.

"He's blocking my way? Um... yes, he's blocking my way!" Ulu thought of something, and his face darkened a little bit, "This old guy is still blocking my way! This greedy old guy!"

Before today, Luggie had not been seen for a long time because he had reached retirement age and no longer handled the daily affairs of the church.

But today, he came out.

Because relief food was distributed from above.

If Luji did not show up, the relief food would be distributed to Ulu, but as soon as Luji showed up, the relief food would fall into his hands, because he was the most experienced priest in this church.

"That's all my money!" Wu Lu said excitedly, "He embezzled my money! For twenty years, this money was his. After twenty years, it should be mine, it should be mine!"

Bai Wei did not respond to this, but just watched coldly as Ulu danced like a monkey because of excitement and anger.

After a while, he finished venting his anger and was so tired that he stood beside the table, breathing heavily.

Then a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes: "But, if it's just about money, is it really necessary..."

Tsk, what an indecisive guy.

It seems there is only one last step left.

After a brief thought, Bai Wei calmly added, "What do you think he's going to do tonight?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 5 Because You Ruined My Life

Luji took off his reading glasses, stretched, and his old body made a creaking sound, as if he was stepping on a dilapidated staircase.

"Tsk, I'm really old." He said self-deprecatingly, "I can't even do this little job well."

"But this is the last one."

After saying that, he put on his glasses again and started flipping through his tattered notebook, looking like a typical dedicated workaholic.

"The amount of relief food this time is about the same as it was 20 years ago... Tsk, it's obviously worse than before. The people above don't care about the people's feelings anymore. It seems that we need to apply to them again."

"Two hundred thousand silver coins... these grain dealers are really crazy. They want to take away all this grain with only three times the price. Do they really think I'm that idiot Uru? This is famine relief grain. It was sold for ten times the price twenty years ago. Now they only want to pay three times the price... Tsk, forget it. I'm too lazy to argue with them. Just eight times. It's better to sell it as soon as possible."

"Uru is such an idiot. He sold all these refugees to one place. Is he afraid that they will be found by the Inquisition? They should be divided into five parts at least. Besides, how can the old and weak do hard labor? Wouldn't it be better to just throw them to the secret cult's group of people who are performing rituals? He really has no brains at all."

Lu Ji cursed while working, just like a teacher correcting homework for poor students late at night.

After everything was done, he took off his glasses again and closed his notebook.

"In the end, you still have to rely on me, really..." Lu Ji looked at the closed notebook and felt a little regretful. "I really want to work for another few decades. I really don't want to retire... Fortunately, this time is different from the past. There are no annoying guys to share my money. After getting this pension, I can finally settle down."

After saying that, Lu Ji raised his head and looked out the window again.

It had been evening when he had begun his work, and now it was completely dark.

Lu Ji then remembered that there was something more important to do tonight.

"That guy Uru is almost here."

Luji muttered to himself as he walked to the mirror and began to adjust his priest uniform.

Then he returned to his desk and took the Rhine Covenant from the drawer.

He gently brushed the dust off the book, then hugged it to his chest and looked at the mirror again.

Luigi in the mirror seemed to be on a pilgrimage.

But he was not going on a pilgrimage, but for the sense of ritual.

Lugi was a man with a strong sense of ritual. His favorite thing to do was to wear a priest's uniform, holding the "Rhine Covenant" in his hand, and while doing blasphemous things he solemnly said, "I am purifying your body and soul on behalf of my Lord, you cannot refuse."

This made him very excited.

But after all, he is getting older, and he hasn't done such exciting things for a long time. In addition, he is about to retire and bid farewell to his identity as a priest, which will be even more difficult in the future.

That's why he decided to come one last time.

Isn’t this a sense of ritual?

There is a beginning and an end.

Lu Ji felt that he was truly worthy of being a holy clergyman.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

It looks like the kid is here.
