long night fire

If he hadn't heard the relevant words in advance, Shang Jianyao would definitely not think that there is anything wrong with such a piece of news-in "Pangaea", people die of sudden illness every year, which is a normal phenomenon.

If Wang Yafei's death was two or three years later, Shang Jianyao would not think that there was much abnormality in this, and would definitely classify it as a coincidence.

But now, on the day Ren Jie said "God will punish sinners", the "sinner" Wang Yafei died of illness.

Shang Jian Yao stood up suddenly, took off the coat that had been hung up before, and put it on his body.

He walked out quickly and went straight to Area C.

As he walked, his speed gradually slowed down, and soon became the same as usual.

When approaching the "activity center", Shang Jianyao glanced over and saw Shen Du standing in the shadow of the side wall, immersed in dim colors.

He stood there in a daze, although his eyes were looking ahead, but they were completely unfocused, so that he didn't even notice that Shang Jianyao was approaching.

"Uncle Shen." Shang Jianyao called out.

Shen Du shuddered suddenly, turned his head slightly, and looked towards the source of the voice.

"Xiao Shang..." He forced a smile.

Shang Jian Yao said in a very calm tone:

"Wang Yafei is dead."

Shen Du's face was slightly pale, and the muscles on both sides of his mouth moved:

"I know."

His voice was very low, as if he was afraid of disturbing things that others could not see.

Shang Jianyao looked at him and asked directly:

"Is this God's punishment?"

Shen Du trembled again, and his expression instantly became blank.

"I don't know..." His gaze passed Shang Jianyao, and his eyes seemed to lose focus again.

Shang Jian Yao was about to ask again, when a five or six-year-old boy ran over, grabbed Shen Du's hanging hand, and said shakingly:

"Dad, Dad, it's time to go home!"

"Hmm." Shen Du replied twice, turned his head to Shang Jianyao and said, "I'm going back first."

"Goodbye." Shang Jian Yao waved politely.

Shen Du looked at his child again, a soft smile gradually appeared on his face.

He took the child, joined his wife who came out of the "activity center", and returned to area B step by step.

Shang Jianyao looked at his back and didn't turn his head for a long time.

During several gatherings of "Life Sacrifice", he used his "talent" to establish a good relationship with many members, and listened to them share their reasons for joining the cult.

Among them, Shen Du is because there was a child who died young, and they have been hard to let go. When they have the child now, they are even more worried about the corresponding problems, and they are also afraid that they will not be able to raise them.

Ren Jie noticed his situation, made friends deliberately, and taught him a lot of parenting knowledge.

Later, the child Shen Du grew up slowly and became healthy. He believed in the gods that Ren Jie spoke of more and more, and finally joined the "Life Sacrifice" sect.

After a while, Shang Jianyao looked away and walked towards the gate of the "Activity Center".

At this time, because the radio program had already started, there were almost no pedestrians outside, only the voices of card players and chatter coming from inside.

Of course, if you look around carefully, you can still find some figures in pairs in various dark places.

Shang Jian Yao was about to pass through the gate when he suddenly saw two familiar figures coming out.

The 27-year-old woman walking on the right is Jian Xin, a religious member who complained to Wang Yafei at the "Sacrifice of Life" meeting early this morning.

She has good facial features, overall delicate and delicate, she is a pretty good beauty.

— This is due to the popularity of genetically modified drugs.

The other person was her husband, Zhuo Zhengyuan, who was also a member of the "Life Sacrifice" sect.

At this time, Jian Xin's face was pale, as if he had a serious illness.

She looked quite nervous, and seemed to be frightened at the slightest sign of trouble.

Her husband Zhuo Zhengyuan's face was gloomy, giving people a feeling of not being approached.

Shang Jian Yao took two steps and stood directly in front of them.

Jian Xin and Zhuo Zhengyuan stopped at the same time, their bodies trembling slightly.

Shang Jianyao lowered his voice and said:

"Wang Yafei is dead."

Jian Xin, with short hair that reaches the ears, said reflexively:

"A coincidence, it must be a coincidence..."

Her voice gradually became lower, and only the remaining voice echoed faintly, with inexplicable fear and bewilderment.

Zhuo Zhengyuan swallowed his saliva and said in a deep voice:

"Preliminary autopsy results have come out, and the death was indeed caused by cardiac arrest, without any external cause."

Shang Jian Yao nodded:

"What a coincidence."

He immediately moved out of the way, allowing Jian Xin and Zhuo Zhengyuan to pass.

After the couple had separated for a certain distance, Shang Jianyao looked back.

Under the illumination of the fluorescent lamp on the ceiling, the figures of Jian Xin and Zhuo Zhengyuan shook slightly, showing a little weakness.

Shang Jianyao remembered that the reason they joined the "Sacrifice of Life" sect was that Jian Xin had two miscarriages and finally got pregnant with her third child.

Now, their child has been born, not only is there nothing wrong with it, but also directly inherited most of the advantages of the genetic improvement of the previous generation.

This allows him to get better talents in subsequent drug adjustments.

Apart from the fact that they like to argue with others about fertility issues, both Jian Xin and Zhuo Zhengyuan are very good people.They are caring, like children, and they always take the initiative to comfort other members during gatherings, and they will not pretend to ignore people who need help.

Once, because Shang Jianyao's "portion is too small" made Ren Jie a little embarrassed, Zhuo Zhengyuan even took the initiative to share the communion with him that he hadn't had time to finish.

Shang Jianyao slowly retracted his gaze and walked into the "activity center".

He glanced around, but he didn't see Li Zhen and other members of the sect, only the "guide" Ren Jie was still in his old position, chatting with the group of women around 40 years old.

Ren Jie with curly hair seemed to notice his gaze, turned her head sideways, and looked over.

Seeing that she was an acquaintance, she smiled a little and nodded kindly.

Shang Jian Yao returned a salute with the same movement.

He didn't move closer, just found a place at random, watched the people playing cards, and listened to the broadcast that would always be affected by various sounds here.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and it was not far from the street lights going out and the night coming.

Ren Jie turned her wrist and glanced at the old electronic watch, stood up, smiled and said to the women around her:

"Go back, go back, someone is waiting for you!"

A group of people laughed and laughed, and Ren Jie left the "activity center" and walked towards her home.

Shang Jianyao then stood up and followed her as usual.

After turning into another street, Ren Jie saw that there was no one on the road, so she slowed down and let Shang Jian Yao get closer and walk side by side with her.

"Xiao Shang, what's the matter?" Ren Jie asked in a low voice and a chatty tone.

Shang Jian Yao's eyes gradually darkened:

"Aunt Ren, look:

"We live on the same floor;

"Again members of the Order;

"so……"

Ren Jie was a little dazed at first, but gradually realized:

"So, we need to build a closer relationship, such as..."

As she spoke, her eyes gradually became strange, her face was a little red, and she didn't know which direction she was thinking about.

Seeing Yao's eyebrows move, Shang immediately shouted:

"mom!"

Ren Jie froze for a moment, and her expression returned to normal.

She smiled and said:

"Then I will recognize you as a godson.

"If your parents are still alive, they will be about the same age as me."

After recognizing her godmother, her attitude became obviously more enthusiastic.

Shang Jianyao restrained his expression and repeated his previous words:

"Wang Yafei is dead."

Ren Jie raised her head slightly, glanced at him, and after a few seconds of silence, asked back:

"Are you feeling frightened and disturbed?"

"Still surprised." Shang Jianyao added for help.

Ren Jie smiled slightly:

"Do you doubt that this is the punishment given to sinners by the gods?"

"Or a reward?" Shang Jianyao's thoughts jumped uncontrollably.

Ren Jie almost didn't return to the rhythm of the conversation just now, she slowed down before laughing:

"I can't answer your question on behalf of God.

"It can only be said that Si Ming is always watching us, rewarding and punishing good and evil.

"As for whether it was this time, I don't know, but if it wasn't God's punishment, I don't think it would be such a coincidence."

Shang Jianyao asked:

"Then who knows?"

Ren Jie's expression suddenly became serious:

"Holy Master."

Chapter 8 Shangjian Yao's Countermeasures

Hearing Ren Jie's answer, Shang Jianyao thought for two seconds before continuing to ask:

"Who is the saint?"

Ren Jie smiled:

"That's not what you should know now.

"When you become a 'guide', the saint will take the initiative to summon you.

"At that time, you will know who he is."

Shang Jianyao asked without hesitation:

"Then how can I become a 'guide'?"

"There is enough performance." Faced with the newly baked godson, Ren Jie was very patient.

Before Shang Jian Yao could ask again, she added another sentence:

"As long as you behave well enough, the saint will not ignore you."

As she spoke, her expression became serious again:

"The Master is always watching us."
