Chapter 27: The Blonde Nun in the Town
“Mr. Prosecutor, you are the Prosecutor, right? Everyone has really been waiting for a long time… Are you really one?”
Tina blinked, the entreaty and anticipation in her eyes seeming to solidify into substance.
Ye Qiyan looked at her, revealed a kind smile, and nodded.
“Mm, you said that the person who arrived by Train is the Prosecutor, and besides me, there isn’t a second person, is there? Therefore, I am the Prosecutor you mentioned.”
“Yay! Mr. Prosecutor, come with me quickly! Everyone has really been waiting for a long, long time!”
“Alright, wait for me a moment. Oh right, eat this.”
Ye Qiyan took an ordinary White Forest Fruit and handed it to Tina. The little girl looked at the fruit without any fear or hesitation and took a bite.
“Wow, such a delicious thing, thank you, Mr. Prosecutor!”
He smiled, said nothing, checked the equipment on his body, and finally put the Cathedral Cross hanging at the front of the Train around his neck before walking out of the Train.
Turning back to close the door and turning the alert device to maximum power, he cast his gaze onto the little girl who was taking small bites of the White Forest Fruit.
“Let’s go, to meet the people you mentioned.”
“Mm-hmm!”
Following behind the little girl and leaving this overly normal station, outside was a small town covered by a layer of light snow.
The small town had no streetlights; only a church in the center of the town had a lamp hanging above it.
The destination Tina mentioned was there. Whether it was an illusion or not, Ye Qiyan always felt that the church looked like an upright Train front.
The town was very quiet, but one could feel gazes being cast toward them from the darkness.
The occasionally appearing whispers made one’s scalp tingle even more.
Ye Qiyan’s hand constantly rested on the Black Light Pistol and the Cathedral Cross.
He certainly wouldn’t forget the platform’s prompt—the threat this small town posed to him was “Danger!”
It had one more exclamation mark than ordinary danger.
Yet in such a bizarre environment that even some timid adults couldn’t accept, the little girl Tina seemed not to sense any of it, skipping and hopping as if she had become the only color in the gray-white world.
“Huf, huf~ Hehe, Mr. Chief Prosecutor, we’ve arrived. Everyone has been waiting for a long, long time, come on in quickly.”
Tina stood in front of the church door, the high lamp light shining precisely upon her.
She invited Ye Qiyan.
Ye Qiyan paused slightly, walked up the steps piled with jade-white stone bricks, and arrived at the door.
“Alright, little Tina, you go in first.”
“Mm-hmm.”
Tina pushed open the church doors, and the bright light instantly revealed the scene inside.
Hundreds of town residents were all sitting on both sides of the church bowing their heads in prayer. The only blonde nun dressed in black standing at the front raised her head, put down the black-covered book in her hand, saw Tina, and then followed her direction to see Ye Qiyan.
“Sister Nun, I’ve brought Mr. Prosecutor here!”
As soon as these words were spoken, all the praying residents stopped their voices at the same time.
They raised their heads like marionettes, and hundreds of gazes uniformly cast themselves onto Ye Qiyan’s face.
Ye Qiyan stood in place, the safety of the Black Light Pistol already disengaged; the moment there was the slightest unusual movement, a bullet would pierce that nun’s skull.
“Mr. Prosecutor, there is no need to be nervous; we have no intention of harming you.”
The nun smiled kindly.
“Everyone can just continue praying, do not frighten our Mr. Prosecutor. Tina, go make some preparations.”
“Mm-hmm!”
Little Tina ran to the back of the church, and those praying townspeople successively returned to their previous state.
Only that nun walked a few steps like a normal person, took out a box from under the prayer altar, and walked toward Ye Qiyan.
“Mr. Prosecutor, this is your reward.”
“Rewards shouldn’t be accepted without merit. I advise you to stay right there and not move. What on earth happened here?”
Ye Qiyan raised his gun and aimed it at the nun’s head.
This town is not normal.
No, anyone can see such a thing.
But in this abnormal town, there was an overly normal little girl like Tina and this nun, which would only make everything become even more bizarre.
The nun was not frightened by this, yet she still stopped. She bent down, placed the box on the ground, and opened it to reveal the things hidden inside.
One-third of a black-gold card.
Ye Qiyan had seen it before; even without the Train’s appraisal, he knew what this was.
“blasphemy card?”
The nun’s smile remained unchanged. She knelt before that one-third blasphemy card, clasping her hands together to make a praying posture.
“Only those who commit Blasphemy against the gods can come to this world. Friend, you are the Prosecutor I am waiting for—oh no, to be accurate, you are the Blasphemer.”
“What do you mean by this?”
Ye Qiyan glanced at the cross on his chest; there was no reaction. This woman was not an evil entity.
The nun’s gaze likewise glanced toward his chest, and with both hands holding up that one-third blasphemy card, she walked straight toward Ye Qiyan.
“Of course it means literally. Prosecutor is just a name told to Tina. Only a Train Captain possessing a blasphemy card can come to this world. Of course, if you want me to call you Train Captain, it’s not out of the question, hehe~ This Train Captain whose name is still unknown, what stop of yours is this small town?”
She actually knew about the Train Captain.
Ye Qiyan looked at the increasingly approaching nun, let out a sneer, and then ran toward the station without the slightest hesitation.
The blonde nun was stunned for a moment, and looking at Ye Qiyan’s back, she hurriedly reached out her hand.
“Eh? Don’t, don’t run away!”
“Only a fool wouldn’t run.”
Ye Qiyan had completely no intention of stopping his steps, and the blonde nun immediately became anxious.
“Stop him for me!”
Those whispering, praying townspeople all began to move, sprinting toward Ye Qiyan’s direction.
Their speed was too fast; they were simply not something an ordinary person like Ye Qiyan could compare with.
“Damn it, I knew this stop wouldn’t be that easy!”
Seeing that he was about to be caught, Ye Qiyan gritted his teeth and chose to fire.
Bang!
Hitting the head of the person at the very front with a shot, the blonde nun proudly raised her face and said with a smile:
“It’s useless. They are all puppets I created, and they aren’t afraid of mere bullets. Furthermore, a Train Captain who can enter here has a Train level of at most level 3. A newcomer like you is impossible to possess the method to defeat them? Eh?”
The blonde nun had been smug for less than a few seconds when she suddenly discovered that her connection with that puppet had been severed.
That is to say, this person actually shattered the puppet she created?
What kind of joke is this?
Just as the blonde nun said, ordinary bullets naturally wouldn’t work.
But what about Level 3 bullets combined with armor-piercing effects?
Ye Qiyan fired continuously, every single bullet accurately hitting these puppets’ joints and skulls.
As long as he took down a few, he would continue running away; when he was about to be caught, he would take down a few more.
With the Trial by Gunfire Module present, his marksmanship had already reached the point where aiming was completely unnecessary.
Under this balance, it actually looked like he was really going to escape from the small town.
