When Ulu saw the bloodstained sheets, his entire body stiffened, and his mind went blank.
"Damn, how could I forget this!"
Ulu felt an imnse regret. He had been busy cleaning Lu Ji's room and forgot about the uncleaned "shit" in his own room.
"Bishop Visas, Bishop Visas!" Ulu shouted in his mind for Bai Wei, "What do I do now?!"
Bai Wei also felt a headache coming on.
Damn, he had calculated everything but missed this.
He paused for a while before saying, "Is there any chance, any possibility at all, that you could tell him it's your own blood?"
Ulu's mouth fell open, stunned. He never expected that at this critical mont, Bishop Visas would say sothing like this. Was the bishop showing a sense of humor?
But after thinking it over, it did seem like a plausible reason, and Ulu did indeed have this old problem, which Kelsay was aware of.
But before he could speak, Kelsay suddenly laughed, "It seems you're getting more and more like that old man Lu Ji."
Ulu was montarily startled, "What?"
Kelsay threw the sheets aside, then pulled a handkerchief out of nowhere and began wiping his hands, "I've always been curious about where that guy Lu Ji learned it from. He's truly a creator. I was shocked the first ti I t him twenty years ago. How should I put it? He seed to enjoy this feeling of blooming between life and death, but it's a pity it only involved other people's lives and could only happen occasionally when human life was cheap."
Saying that, Kelsay sighed, showing a sense of regret.
Kelsay's words caused Ulu's eyelids to twitch.
He didn't know exactly what Kelsay ant by "that kind of ga," but he could guess it was grim.
Twenty years ago, Lu Ji had brought many hungry boys back to the church, including him.
And those children would often disappear a few at a ti, every night, until gradually, Ulu was the only one left.
He had always thought those children were sold by Lu Ji to other places.
But now it seed that was not the case.
A chill ran through Ulu's heart, and he couldn't help but shiver.
It was not for the children, but because... he had nearly beco one of them.
Over the years, Ulu had thought he was the unluckiest among those children because he stayed by Lu Ji's side, but now it appeared he was the "luckiest" one, as those children hadn't even managed to stay.
No wonder Lu Ji always thought he was Ulu's benefactor and never expected Ulu would think of killing him.
In Lu Ji's view, it was his "great rcy" that had allowed Ulu to survive and beco a priest to inherit his mantle, which was a trendous favor.
And Bai Wei felt uncomfortable hearing all this.
The actions of the Rhein Priests during the famine years were also recorded in the plot, but it was just text in the ga and history here.
"Why have you stopped talking?" Kelsay raised an eyebrow, "Feeling guilty because I guessed it right?"
Ulu took a deep breath, trying to maintain his previous expression, "Heh, being caught in such matters is indeed sowhat..."
"Hey, you, you're still not as free-spirited as that old man Lu Ji." Kelsay walked over to the table, picked up the tea Ulu had poured for him, and swirled it gently in his hands. "But I must remind you, play this ga only during famine years because killing a few people won't raise suspicions. But don't do this during normal years; even Bishop Corey won't be able to protect you if it's discovered."
Facing Kelsay's "sincere" advice, Ulu naturally showed an "appreciative" expression, "Thank you for the reminder, Kelsay."
"Heh, what's there to thank between us?"
Kelsay slapped Ulu's shoulder, then drained his cup of tea, portraying the deanor of close friends sharing heartfelt words.
Ulu also let out a small sigh of relief, thinking he had managed to fool Kelsay without raising any suspicions. Since Kelsay still considered him a friend, then...
Suddenly, Kelsay changed the topic, "Speaking of which, I'm quite tired after all this ti. I want to relax a bit. Help out, Ulu."
Ulu was taken aback. "What?"
"I said, help out, Ulu." Kelsay flashed a smile again, but this ti it was clearly different. "Just like the old days. Back then, I was younger, and you were... the sa."
Ulu's body felt like it had been shocked by electricity.
With Kelsay's words laid out like this, how could he not understand Kelsay's implication.
But Ulu still pretended to be calm, smiling naturally, "Stop joking, Kelsay, we are not the sa as before. If you really want, I can..."
"Kneel." Kelsay interrupted softly.
Ulu stiffened completely.
"Stop joking, Kelsay..."
"Kneel." Kelsay repeated in a soft but undeniable tone.
Ulu didn't know what expression to wear, standing helplessly in place.
