The bone was worried and went straight to the city lord's palace.
At this moment, in his mind, he was constantly thinking about the task Li Te had given him. How should he do the research?
This matter seems easy, but in fact it is not easy to handle. It is far more than just a secret notification.
The believers of the Alarm Bell Church do not have a high sense of identity with the leader, and even regard him as a dispensable existence.
As a legend of the Alarm Bell Church, he only needs to be a totem quietly, and there is no need to show up to point fingers.
The reason is simply that in order to maintain a sense of mystery, Li Te rarely had contact with believers.
It has always been like this for so many years, and there are only a handful of believers who have seen Lite's true appearance.
As time goes by, the majesty of the leader has gradually faded, and for ordinary believers, the existence of the leader is dispensable.
If you don’t believe it, just look at the previous guard battle. The leader was not involved in the whole process, but the believers still fought to the death and resisted the monster’s attack.
Being able to do this all stems from their insistence on faith and trying to save themselves and the world.
Since you can do it without a leader, what's the use of having a strange leader? It's like putting shackles on yourself in vain.
There are even those with ulterior motives who want to take advantage of the chaos to gain more power and benefits. The sudden appearance of the leader of the Alarm Bell Church is obviously their biggest obstacle.
Under such circumstances, it is not an easy task to win over the believers of the Alarm Bell Church and help Li Te regain his position as leader.
Nagu made a list, including all the backbones of the Alarm Bell Church, and analyzed who would help and who would stand idly by?
Unknowingly, the bone had returned to the city lord's palace.
After taking a look at the surrounding environment and confirming that no one was paying attention to him, Nagu returned to the area he was responsible for defending.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, there were footsteps coming from behind, heading straight for where he was.
When he saw who was coming, Nagu's heart was beating wildly.
The visitors were none other than Tang Zhen and You Jiu, who was pretending to be the leader of the cult. They were standing not far away, looking at the bone intently.
After seeing Tang Zhen and the two of them, a feeling arose in his heart that the other party should be here for him.
Although he felt a little weak in his heart, Na Gu still gritted his teeth and saluted Tang Zhen and You Jiu.
"The leader and His Excellency Tang Zhen, where are you going?"
"We're not going anywhere, we're just here to find you."
Youjiu said with a smile, a hint of teasing in his eyes.
Na Gu was even more panicked, but remained calm on the surface. At the same time, he pretended to be confused and said, "You two are looking for me. What advice do you have?"
"Don't be nervous, it's just some little things that might scare you!"
While Youjiu was speaking, he slowly walked up to Na Gu and gently patted his shoulder.
This approach seemed intimate, but it made Na Gu's heart beat wildly and gave him a bad premonition.
"I just want to know where you were just now? Remember to tell the truth and never lie to me."
When Youjiu spoke, his tone was very calm, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
Na Gu felt a strong threat, and he even had a hunch that his whereabouts might have fallen under Youjiu's surveillance.
"How is it possible that no one is following me even though I'm specifically observing?"
Na Gu became more and more uneasy. He glanced at You Jiu, only to find that the other party was looking at him with a half-smile.
Although his expression was very kind, Na Gu could see the coldness and slight sarcasm hidden in his eyes.
It's like watching a clown performing a poor performance, and you are the clown performing.
The feeling of uneasiness in my heart is getting stronger and stronger, but Na Gu knows clearly that he must not reveal his whereabouts.
Once admitted, the consequences would be disastrous.
The problem is that since Tang Zhen's suspicion has been aroused, what's the point of denying it?
It was nothing more than saving Li Te, but in the end he sacrificed himself.
Gritting his teeth, Na Gu replied: "I just felt unwell, so I found a place to rest."
"Oh, really?"
Youjiu smiled like a fox, circling around the bone, but his smile gradually turned cold.
"But why did I hear that you went to the underground city, and also to a very hidden place?
Is it someone else who lied to me, or are you lying to me? This is really a headache."
Youjiu's tone was exaggerated, and his expression was also exaggerated. He looked at the bone helplessly.
When Na Gu heard this, his heart suddenly became cold, and he confirmed that his whereabouts had been exposed.
Although he didn't know how You Jiu knew it, Na Gu no longer dared to take chances. His only hope now was that Li Te's existence was not exposed.
With a dry laugh, Na Gu said to You Jiu: "The leader is joking, how can I go to the dungeon? Someone must be talking nonsense."
"Heh...heh...heh!"
You Jiu's laughter was full of sarcasm and a hint of murderous intent.
His heart was filled with bitterness, and he knew that it didn't make any sense whether he admitted it or not. If nothing unexpected happened, he would probably die here today.
Just as he was sighing secretly in his heart, Tang Zhen, who was standing aside, suddenly spoke, but his tone was equally cold.
"Do you know why I'm talking nonsense to you? I just want to give you a chance and not become Li Te's burial object.
I remember your family is here too, and if you want them to share your misfortune, no one will stop you.
You must already know that Li Te was killed. As for the reason for taking action, it was because he wanted to kill me first.
There is another thing that may have nothing to do with you, but I still want to tell you.
Li Te became a monk because he captured Ellie and drained her blood to prepare the so-called medicine.
Fortunately, I rescued her in time and barely saved her life.
Maybe you think these things have nothing to do with you, but I want to tell you that Ellie is as loyal a believer as you are, but there was no hesitation when Li Te harmed her.
Being loyal to such a leader is definitely the greatest tragedy. If you remain stubborn, you may end up like Ellie."
Looking at the heavy-looking bone, Tang Zhen shook his head and slowly walked forward.
"If I guessed correctly, you should have gone to the dungeon to see Li Te, and he was able to come back from the dead so quickly, obviously using the remains of his previous life.
This method may seem magical, but it has great drawbacks. Any monk who does this will become very bloodthirsty.
You can come back alive because you are still valuable, otherwise you would not be able to come back at all, but would have become Li Te's food."
After hearing Tang Zhen's words, Na Gu's face turned pale. He really couldn't believe that Tang Zhen would describe it so clearly, as if he had witnessed the scene with his own eyes.
Recalling the scene at that time, the way Lite looked at him was indeed terrifying, as if he was staring at prey.
"Now tell me your choice, is it to protect Tianxu City and your family with me?
Or should we follow that lunatic Li Te and turn Tianxu City into a real ruin?"
Na Gu smiled bitterly. He knew that he had to make a choice. If he continued to follow Li Te, he would definitely die!
A few seconds later, Na Gu smiled sadly and bowed to Tang Zhen and the others.
"I choose to follow you, not only for my own family, but also to protect Tianxu City from being turned into ruins under the impact of the demonic tide."
