After taking Karen into the confessional, there were no more scary ghosts in the church. It seemed that everything was caused by her.
After dawn, the injury on Ye Nianwen's chest had almost recovered. The three of them pushed the door open and walked out of the church. The early morning sun shone on their bodies, making people feel a refreshing warmth.
After walking a certain distance, Mo Shouchen looked back and found that the church was no longer as dilapidated as the one he saw last night.
The white walls and light green spherical spire make the whole church look holy and elegant, and the impetuous mind will calm down.
At the arched doorway, a priest in black robes was waving goodbye to the three of them, still with a gentle smile on his face.
Last night, the entire church was controlled by the devil. Although the priest was also affected, he was able to maintain a certain degree of sanity. This may be related to his devout faith.
Mo Shouchen suddenly remembered God's advice he heard in the confession room. God said that there was a soul darker than Karen hidden in his body, and told him to abide by his heart and never let that soul out.
In fact, he had long sensed that something was wrong. If the obsessive power in his body came from his own inner demons, wouldn't it be a bit too strong?
So when God said that there was a soul hidden in his body, Mo Shouchen immediately felt that that power might not be as simple as he thought before.
It seems that we need to be more cautious in the future and never use that power again.
After leaving the church, the three people continued walking along the gravel path.
At noon, they passed by a wheat field. Ye Nianwen stretched out her hand to Mo Shouchen and said, "I'm hungry!"
Mo Shouchen said with a surprised look on his face: "Are you hungry again? You almost ate all the food in your backpack!"
Ye Nianwen rubbed her chest and said, "After suffering such a serious injury, of course I need to supplement my nutrition while recovering."
Mo Shouchen shook his head helplessly. He took out the last three pieces of bread from the bag and divided them one by one.
Ye Nianwen took the bread and took a bite, then asked while chewing: "How many people's wishes have you fulfilled now?"
Mo Shouchen raised two fingers and replied: "Two."
"Two? Doesn't that mean we haven't even finished half of it? It's been five days, when can we go back!"
As he was talking, a voice calling for help suddenly came from the wheat field ahead.
The three of them followed the sound and found a scarecrow stuck in a wheat field not far from the roadside. A group of crows were tearing the straw from the scarecrow's body with their beaks.
The cry for help was made by the scarecrow tied to the stick.
After seeing the scarecrow asking for help, Mo Shouchen said with a smile: "It seems we have a chance to fulfill the wishes of the three characters at once."
Mo Shouchen ran towards the scarecrow and when he sensed someone was coming, all the crows on the scarecrow were frightened and flew into the air.
Looking at Mo Shouchen who came to him, the scarecrow said gratefully: "Thank you for helping me get rid of those nasty guys. If it had been a little longer, my body would have been torn apart by them."
Mo Shouchen went straight to the point and said, "You're welcome. Do you have any other wishes you want to fulfill?"
"Wish?" Scarecrow scratched his head, "Oh, by the way, I think those annoying crows must bully me because I have no brain and look stupid, so I want to have a brain."
Hearing the scarecrow's wish, Mo Shouchen felt happy. If he followed the familiar fairy tale plot, he would be able to complete the task and leave the script immediately.
He then asked: "How can I give you a brain?"
The scarecrow twisted his body and said: "Before you say this, can you please take me off the stick? I feel so uncomfortable hanging like this!"
"no problem!"
Mo Shouchen grabbed the scarecrow's body. Because it was covered with straw and was very light, he easily picked it off the stick.
The scarecrow stretched and said happily: "You are really great. Meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life."
"Now can you tell me where I can help you get a brain?"
The Scarecrow scratched his head again, thought for a long time, and then said: "I heard that there is a white witch named Ganlinda in the Emerald City. She has great magical powers and is as kind as you. If you ask her for help, I will definitely get it."
A brilliant brain."
"Then let's set off now!"
Mo Shouchen couldn't wait to say that he had had enough of this weird fairy tale world, and if he could, he didn't want to stay for even a second longer.
A few people continued walking along the gravel path, but not long after walking, they heard another cry for help.
Mo Shouchen, Tang Yanzhen and Ye Nianwen looked at each other and smiled, because they knew who was asking for help without even looking.
Following the cry for help, they found a Tin Woodman. The Tin Woodman was holding an axe, his head tilted to one side like a stiff neck, and his posture looked very funny.
After asking, I learned that the Tin Woodman's body was rusted due to a heavy rain, and some oil had to be injected into his joints to restore his mobility.
There is an oil can next to the Tin Man. After injecting oil into his joints, he can finally move after hearing a few "click" sounds.
Although he already knew what the Tin Man's wish was, Mo Shouchen still pointed at it like a mentor and asked: "What is your wish?"
The Tin Woodman thought for a moment and said, "I want to have a heart so that others won't say I am hard-hearted."
Just like that, the Tin Woodman also joined the team.
Not long after, Mo Shouchen met the third character, a lion.
This lion looked extremely powerful, but was as timid as a mouse. When it saw Mo Shouchen and the others, it jumped up to the tree like a cat and began to tremble.
Mo Shouchen spent a lot of effort to persuade it to come down. After asking, the lion told him his wish. He hoped to gain courage so that he would not be scared up the tree all the time.
Now that the three characters have gathered together, as long as they fulfill their wishes, they can directly complete the mission, and then return to the real world with Tang Yanzhen and Ye Nianwen.
But soon, Mo Shouchen realized that he was happy too early.
When night fell, not only did they not find the Emerald City, they didn't even find a house where they could stay.
So they can only sleep outside tonight.
They found a relatively hidden tree hole and several people hid in it. They didn't light a fire because they were afraid of attracting wolves, and they also blocked the entrance of the hole with branches and leaves.
But even so, when late at night came, Mo Shouchen still heard the sound of wolves howling, and they were surrounded...
