Chapter 407: The Road to Homecoming

With less than a week left before the end of Double Holy Week, Al should have been able to stay in the church for a few more days, but the small town where she was born and raised had been flattened by the abandoned ones, and the so-called "home" was no longer there.

Perhaps because he didn't want to look back at that sad place, Al chose to leave with Luo You and return to the glory of the Republic.

At the airport, Luo You found a sneaky figure, which was Britney.

Britney was hiding behind a pillar at this time, and her concealment skills were very clumsy. She poked half of her body out. When she noticed Luo You and Al had seen it, she immediately shrank back, but not long after, she poked it out, like a gopher.

As soon as Al saw Britney, his eyes dodged, but Luo You walked up directly.

"Hey! Luo You..." Al was so shocked that he was at a loss and subconsciously followed.

Luo You walked to Britney and asked, "What's the matter?"

Britney pretended to be indifferent and leaned against the wall, glanced at Luo You up and down, and said sourly: "Yeah, it's okay to have a fight with the Knights of the Round Table. It's really a prince charming only in fairy tales. There are many people who like you."

After Britney finished speaking, she glanced at Al intentionally or unintentionally, who just lowered her head and didn't say anything.

"It's nothing. I heard that you are leaving, so I came here to take a look." Britney pointed to the sky outside the window. At this time, there were a little dark clouds, as if there were signs of rain. She said lazily, "I feel like it's going to thunder. Come and see if your flight will not be thundered."

Luo You frowned. Britney's mouth was also cheap.

Seeing that Luo You and Al were not talking, Britney pulled Al over and said lightly to Luo You: "I'll tell her something."

Al was a little panicked by Britney. Before she could react, Britney pushed her to the wall with a "bang".

"Little trash, listen well, don't think our relationship can change back." Britney's eyes were very cold, like an indivisible piece of ice, and her tone revealed a sense of sorrow, "You can still be your doctor, but I can never be my knight again."

"Britney..." A little tears rose in Al's eyes and unconsciously flowed down the corners of his eyes.

Just as tears were about to drip down her face, Al suddenly felt something on his face. When he looked up, Britney stretched out his hand and gently wiped away her tears. His eyes were filled with lingering loneliness, and he said in a low voice: "Don't cry. I did that thing just because I didn't want you to cry, so take care of your tears and don't make me feel uncomfortable."

Al pursed his red lips tightly, sucked his little nose, and gently buried his head on Britney's shoulder.

Britney's eyes trembled slightly. How long has it been since such an action happened? It's been a long time, really...

She subconsciously wanted to hug El, but when she saw El's white clothes, she seemed to see the pure white feathers of the angel, unable to withstand a trace of dirt.

Britney's hand froze in place. Instead of touching Al, she took a step back and opened the distance and said calmly: "You go, be smarter when you go back, don't cause trouble for others all day long."

Al opened his red lips lightly and wanted to say something, but Britney had deliberately avoided it and quickly left the airport.

Half an hour later, the flight was ready, and Luo Yu and Al embarked on the journey back.

On the way home, Al said nothing, but Luo You spoke to a question he couldn't understand: "What's going on between you and Britney?"

After hearing this, Al's little hand holding the cross trembled unconsciously, his eyes were a little vague, and he whispered: "She is... my friend when I was a child..."

"It doesn't look that simple." Luo You looked at Al sideways and said lightly, "I feel that she likes you and hates you."

Seeing Al silent, Luo You did not continue to ask, how many people who can live in the era of collapse have no secrets?

Just as Luo You were about to close your eyes and rest, Al's voice suddenly came: "You have also been taken to the God-Grace Room by Uncle Jock, so I won't hide the existence of this institution... But do you know how the people in the God-Grace Room were selected?"

Luo You's eyes slowly opened. To be honest, the God's grace chamber really completely refreshed his views, allowing him to re-understand the so-called "Cross Church", and allowed him to see what was buried under the glory of the Lord except for the heroic knights, devout believers, and holy crosses.

But is it wrong to say that the God's grace chamber? I'm afraid there is really not. It sacrificed the interests of such a small number of people, but received the peace and stability of the entire huge church, as well as the extremely low crime rate that other countries dare not even imagine.

Just like the Republican Qiqi's "Black Street" policy, both of these are expedient measures for the overall situation, and in terms of effect, the God's Grace Room is much higher than the Black Street.

What's more, the nuns in the God's grace room are all voluntarily. They voluntarily devote themselves to the Lord. What's the point of outsiders to say? Not to mention ferocious beasts like succubus. They are not even humans, and there is no need to pity for anything they want to do to them.

But there is no reason, Luo You is instinctively feeling a kind of disgust.

He remained silent, waiting for Al's answer.

"There are two ways to screen members of the God's Grateful House, one is voluntary, and the other is to recruit. Each district church has a quota indicator. Although it is not mandatory in theory, if the indicator is not met, it will affect the funding of the local church, so they always have the means to summon enough nuns."

"The nuns who recruit elected are usually underage girls, which are easy to cultivate their concepts and... skills to work in the Grateful Room... When the Grateful Room was expanded, the regional bishop came to us to recruit people, and in the end there was a quota."

When Al said this, he seemed to remember something dark. His little hand grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly, trembling constantly, and whispered: "The bishop of the region chose me and hoped that I could become a member of the God's grace chamber, but I was very scared. He cried all those days and nights. The bishop of the region felt that I was unwilling to sacrifice myself for the Lord and lacked the spirit that believers should have. He wanted to use the power in his hands to force me, either sacrifice myself or list me as a swearingist."

"I'm very scared, really scared. I don't want to go to the God's grace room, and I don't want people to think that I have betrayed my faith. At this time... Britney knew about this..."

"We had an agreement when we were young that when I grew up, I would be a doctor, and she would be a knight to protect me. At that time, Britney was very talented and had passed the primary assessment. She was qualified to be a entourage of the Knights, but..." Al closed her blue eyes, tears slowly flowed out of the corners of her eyes, and her voice was also a little hoarse, "In order to protect me, she voluntarily gave up her qualification to become a knight and voluntarily became a candidate for the God's Grateful Room. She went there for 6 years..."
