The mayor and the others arrived rather quickly.
However, other than the mayor, the town's security chief was also here. After all, this matter was too big. Even the mayor had to think it over carefully.
As expected, the mayor's face was full of anger and surprise, while David's expression was more sinister. This was exactly what Lin Xiao had guessed. The mayor did not know about the drug shipment.
This made Lin Xiao's heart relax. Now, it was up to the mayor to decide how to deal with his son. Or rather, the mayor would choose between them and his son.
After the mayor arrived, he looked at the 'zombies' who were tied up and the half pot of white noodles that had been collected. His lips kept twitching. It was obvious that he was on the verge of anger.
Suddenly, the mayor's expression disappeared without a trace. He looked up at Lin Jiu and said,""Ninth Uncle, thank you for stopping this matter in time. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!”
"It's fine. This is what I should do!”
"Alright, I'll take these people with me!”The mayor took a deep breath and waved for the security team to take everyone away.
However, after he turned around, he suddenly said,"Ninth Uncle, I don't think we should have any objections to Buddhism. It's reasonable for everyone to develop together. Moreover, I believe that with Ninth Uncle's ability, even if there are zombies inside, he can subdue them in time.”
Lin Jiu's expression changed drastically as he stared at the mayor.
Lin Xiao knew Lin Jiu's temperament, so he pulled him back before he could speak. He smiled at the mayor and said,""The mayor must be joking. We are here to capture ghosts and subdue demons. Zombies are naturally our targets. If there are really zombies, we will definitely do our best to eliminate them.”
"Well, then I'm relieved. After I went back yesterday, I've been communicating with the people there, but that person refused to agree to move the place. He said that there were some old priest's relics here and they had to be sorted out to complete the old priest's last wish. Since the two of you have no objections, then I plan to reopen the church in three days!”
"Good!"
……
After sending off the mayor, Lin Jiu grabbed Lin Xiao's shoulder and looked at him with a dark expression.""Why? Why did he agree to open the church to the mayor? Don't you know how serious the consequences will be if the thing inside escapes?”
Lin Xiao sighed slightly. Lin Jiu was a good person in every aspect, but his temper was too stubborn. He could not tolerate sand in his eyes and did not know how to be flexible. Otherwise, the person in charge of the Sect Leader Token would not be Mao Xiaofang.
"Senior brother, do you think junior brother is willing? Do you believe that if we don't agree tonight, we'll be charged with drug trafficking tomorrow and then forcefully expelled from Jiuquan Town? After we leave, the church will still be open. How many people will die then?”
"..." Lin Jiu fell silent.
He had been in the martial world for many years. How could he not know this? But he just wanted to fight for it.
Lin Xiao sighed helplessly." Senior Brother, you don't have to worry too much. We're very close to the church. Once there's any movement in the church, we can detect it immediately and stop it in time. However, after we eliminate the zombies, we might really have to leave this place.”
"Then leave!"
Lin Jiu felt a little helpless, but more than that, he felt pity for the people of this era.
So after he finished speaking, he sighed and walked into the back room.
Although Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai were unreliable most of the time, they felt sorry for Lin Jiu at this time. They returned to the hall silently and started their own cultivation. This was the first time Lin Xiao had seen them take the initiative to cultivate in the past few days.
He just didn't know how long these two fellows could last.
Shaking his head, Lin Xiao threw away the distracting thoughts in his heart and looked in the direction of the church again. He then pondered whether he could find other businesses in the next two days. It would be best if he could harvest a wave of merit and raise his cultivation to the same level as Lin Jiu.
As for Foundation Establishment, he did not dare to think about it now. After all, in this era, spiritual energy was scarce, and the danger of Foundation Establishment was much greater. Most importantly, the impact of Foundation Establishment was too great, so he had to find a place with no one.
Now that the zombie was about to come out of the cage, there was not enough time for him to find such a place.
……
The next morning.
After a night of adjustment, Lin Jiu's mental state had also recovered. He was practicing boxing in the courtyard. Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai didn't cause any trouble, which was rare. One prepared breakfast, and the other organized the medicinal herbs.
When Lin Xiao walked out, he was stunned by the strange peace in the mortuary.
He looked at Qiu Shengwen and Qiu Wencai. Could it be that these two guys had really turned over a new leaf?
But then he shook his head. It was easy to change mountains and rivers, but it was hard to change one's nature. If these two fellows could really change, Ninth Uncle would not have such a headache.
Just as Lin Xiao was about to go and exercise, a car suddenly stopped at the entrance of the mortuary. Immediately after, a figure that surprised Lin Xiao walked in.
Looking at this figure, Lin Xiao was slightly stunned." Why was she here?
