“He Who Knows Fate, what’s wrong with you? Why are you staring at my halo in a daze?” Exusiai waved her hand in front of Chen Heng’s face. She only withdrew her hand after verifying Chen Heng had recovered his wits.
“I was just pondering why the halo can hover over a Lateran’s head.”
“Then you will probably take a long ti. When you figure it out, you can write a thesis on it. I can only silently cheer you on.” Although Exusiai said that, she wasn’t hopeful. Although she found the halo floating over her head strange, it was sothing she took for granted.
“Then, as a friend willing to support , may I touch your halo?” As ntioned before, Chen Heng’s darned curiosity would get him killed soday.
“Only a touch.” Exusiai agreed to let Chen Heng touch her halo, probably on account of his bullets.
“Don’t worry, just a touch.” Chen Heng extended his sinful hands toward that glowing halo.
However, Chen Heng discovered what “curiosity killed the cat” and “one won’t get in trouble if one does not court trouble” ant in the next mont.
Chen Heng plucked off Exusiai’s halo. Furthermore, it beca even brighter in his hand, rather dazzling even in daylight.
He glanced at the halo in his hand, then at the dumbfounded Exusiai and Texas. The warm halo in his hand suddenly felt extrely hot.
“My-my ha…” Exusiai was the first to react after the shock. Tears welled up in her eyes. This halo was the hallmark of the Laterans, the faith of the Laterans. However, it was now gone. Although Exusiai was usually optimistic, unlike most Laterans, that did not an her faith was not firm.
“I did not do it on purpose. Here, I’ll put it back!” Chen Heng quickly placed the halo in his hand back over Exusiai’s head and…succeeded.
After Chen Heng let go, that halo seed like before, hovering over Exusiai’s head, except it was now brighter.
“It’s…it’s back.” Exusiai felt the importance of the halo to her for the first ti, nearly crying from joy. She normally regarded it with extre disdain whenever she tried to sleep.
“Erm…I suddenly recalled sothing urgent. I’ve got to go first.” Seeing the halo back in its original place, Chen Heng released a bated breath and imdiately left via a spatial jump, not daring to remain a mont longer.
He feared this Lateran called Exusiai would bash his head with her submachine gun and shoot him a few tis. He did not doubt how crazy a religious person could get.
“…”
“…”
His abrupt departure left Exusiai and Texas sitting there dumbfounded.
“Exusiai, can I remove the halo on your head?” Eventually, Texas broke the silence, proving that not just cats had strong curiosity; apparently, dogs did too.
“No way! No way! What if you can’t put it back?!” Exusiai frantically shook her head, shielding the halo. Who knew how Chen Heng removed it and how he placed it back?
What if Texas managed to remove it but couldn’t put it back? Exusiai would beco the only Lateran without a halo.
“Just let try. It’s not like you will get pregnant. Furthermore, if I cannot put it back, just get that person to put it back. Think about it. What if that person has a special significance to you Laterans? This is an extrely rare opportunity.” Texas did not give up, eagerly egging Exusiai on.
Although Texas usually showed little interest in the things around her, this was different. She had tried touching Exusiai’s halo before but never plucked it off.
This ant that Chen Heng, soone she knew only recently, had taken Exusiai’s first ti.
Previously, Texas had not cared, as the halo could not be removed. However, she had seen the halo being removed right before her eyes, so…
“This…” Clearly, Exusiai was starting to concede to Texas. After all, removing a Lateran’s halo had been unheard-of.
“Just think about it. Since he can do sothing others cannot, it ans that he has a special significance to you Laterans. Don’t you have things like God’s son, Holy Spirit, saints, ssiah, and righteous people in your faith? If you miss this opportunity, it might never co again. If you miss out on a person with a special aning to you Laterans because of your hesitation, won’t you have sinned greatly?” Although Texas did not understand the Lateran religion, she knew how to adapt.
“Alright, just this once.” It was as Texas said. While Exusiai worried about being unable to place her halo back, she worried even more about missing out on a person with a special aning to the Laterans.
What if he really is sothing like God’s son, the Holy Spirit, or so saint? I must drag him to Laterano, even if I have to kidnap him.
“Ow! Ouch! Texas, let go! You can’t get it off like this!”
“No way. I don’t believe it. Would I be any inferior to that guy?”
“Texas, quickly let go. This won’t work. If you keep trying, you will pull off my head!”
Facts proved Exusiai was not why Chen Heng could pluck off her halo earlier. After all, Texas tried for a long ti but failed.
Since it had nothing to do with Exusiai, it had to be Chen Heng.
“Let’s go, Texas. Let’s go search for that He Who Knows Fate.” After verifying Chen Heng was the cause, Exusiai made a decision.
“What are you going to do? Don’t tell you want to kidnap him to Laterano? Exusiai, calm down. This is Rhodes Island, and he is Rhodes Island’s staff. There are only two of us.”
“You are overthinking. Am I that rash? I will only use force if reasoning does not work.”
“Then aren’t you going to use force in the end? However, looking at his earlier skill with firearms and the ability he used when leaving, can we defeat him?” Although Texas complained, her body reacted honestly, following when Exusiai stood up.
