As the night gets darker, there are more and more pedestrians on the street. Terror has enveloped the city, and they are frantically looking for a chance to survive.
Mavey stood in the kitchen, holding Yunia in his arms and holding a golden pocket watch in his hand. On the dining table in front of him was the dinner prepared by Mrs. Cecil, which was already a little cold.
"dad...."
Yunia, who was curled up in his arms, was as light as a feather. She frowned in pain and her petite body trembled slightly. As her consciousness gradually became blurred, she kept calling for her father.
"I am here."
"So...cold..."
Ma Wei looked at the stove nearby. The bright red embers were mixed with black impurities, exuding a warm atmosphere.
It was definitely not cold in the kitchen, on the contrary it was still a bit stuffy, but Mavey knew that the coldness Yunia felt was not from the coldness of her body, but from the depths of her soul.
She is disappearing.
"Don't be afraid...Dad is here." Mavey comforted her, holding Yunia's arm a little tighter.
At this moment, 25 minutes had passed since Fat Orange Xiaohei went out. During this period, he asked Mrs. Cecil to go back to the room upstairs, boiled two pots of holy water, and took out all the dried and canned fish in the house. .
He has done everything he can. The cursed rat caught everyone off guard. There is no other better way at the moment. If Fat Orange and Xiao Hei can't bring good news...
He could only break the boat, open the church door, and send out all the holy water, so as to increase the number of believers when it comes, and ensure that Yunia survives first.
He didn't care what consequences this would bring.
Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and Yunia was on the verge of collapse. Seeing this, Mawei sighed and prepared to open the door to attract people praying for salvation on the street.
at this time....
"Meow!"
The cat meowing outside the window attracted his attention.
Taking three steps and two steps at a time, Ma Wei rushed to the window, opened the window, and saw a scene that he would never forget.
Countless cats jumped onto the walls, roofs, and branches at the edge of the church. They sat obediently in all the gaps where they could put their feet. They meowed one after another, and their furs were colorful, just like flower fields all over the valley.
Stray cats from all over the city are here.
They gathered together and opened a gap to welcome the newly born orange-striped emperor and his cat-like son.
Fat orange and little black!
"I'm back."
Fat Orange came to Mawei and said: "There are 1,535 stray cats in New Ross City. Except for young cats and old cats that cannot move, the remaining 986 are all here."
"So you are really ambitious..." Ma Wei smiled.
"Master! Master, meow! Xiao Hei also helped! Praise me, praise me, meow!"
After casually patting Xiao Hei's forehead, Ma Wei took a deep breath and said in a solemn tone: "Without further delay, let's start the baptism and registration."
"Yes." Fat Orange nodded, raised his paw, and gave the first order: "All cats line up according to their size and enter the church one by one to be baptized by the priest!"
"Meow!"
Under the command of Fat Orange and Xiao Hei, nearly a thousand cats lined up in an orderly manner, climbed into the church through the window, and took elegant cat steps to Ma Wei, who was standing in front of the statue.
In order to welcome this group of heretics, Ma Wei took out a brand new registration book from the drawer. All the cats had to do was lower their heads, let him touch his eyebrows with his fingers dipped in holy water, and then press on the registration book. With your own plum blossom paw print, you can receive a small dried fish or a piece of canned meat.
The dried fish and canned meat stored at home were simply not enough to feed nearly a thousand cats. Therefore, Ma Wei had to issue a "dried fish receipt" - a piece of paper with the three words "dried fish" written on it. Replace small dried fish or canned meat.
As the baptism ceremony progressed, Yunia's illusory body gradually became solid, and wisps of dark red light flew out from the cats' foreheads and floated into her body.
Halfway through the baptism ceremony, Yunia opened her eyes, her pupils once again shining with their former agility.
The cats gathered at her feet, rubbing their heads here and there, acting coquettishly and cutely, trying to win the favor of the goddess.
Yunia giggled at their amusement, and Xiao Hei snorted dissatisfiedly when he saw this: "They are all a bunch of coquettish bitches, meow..."
"Xiao Hei, come here."
"It's coming, meow! It's coming, meow!"
Upon hearing Yunia's call, Xiao Hei immediately abandoned the task of commanding the team and rushed over, squeezing aside the cats surrounding the opponent's feet.
"Thank you, Xiaohei."
Yunia kissed it: "Without Dad, Fat Orange and you, Yunia would never be able to recover."
Xiao Hei was stunned for a while, then cried with a cry: "Xiao Hei... Xiao Hei knew that the goddess would remember Xiao Hei's contribution, meow..."
Then, Xiao Hei followed the stick and climbed onto Yunia's lap. While accepting the goddess's touch, he smiled triumphantly at the envious cats around him.
After the baptism ceremony was completed, Fat Orange found Ma Wei, who was relieved, and asked: "What are you going to do next? Although the crisis of goddess Yunia has been temporarily resolved, the city is still in chaos. If nothing is done, Stop it, I'm afraid there will be a riot."
In areas with poor living conditions, rats can be seen everywhere, but in those luxurious residences and palaces, rats are considered a rare species, so everyone wants to escape to a place without rats. However, the wise actions of officials and nobles to protect themselves, Completely pissed them off.
"I've already thought of a countermeasure."
Ma Wei put away the list of Maomao believers and expressed his plan: "No matter what, we cannot be like those officials and nobles who abandon believers and civilians. Protecting oneself is not the truth."
"The top priority is to stabilize the situation first."
"What can you do?"
"First of all," Ma Wei raised a finger: "We need to get rid of the rats in the city. They are the source of disaster. If the rats carrying the curse are not dealt with in time, the situation will never be stable."
Who is the natural enemy of mice?
Cat!
Cats are good at catching mice. Thousands of cats can definitely eliminate threats in the city in a short time.
This is the first step in Mawei's plan.
"Even if we get rid of the rats in the city, the curse that has spread still cannot be solved. If we use the power of the goddess's gift to save believers and civilians, we will definitely be targeted by other big churches!"
"That's the second thing I want to say..."
Ma Wei grinned: "Each cat must carry a small bottle of holy water. During the process of catching mice, the holy water will be distributed to the people infected by the curse. This will solve the trouble caused by the curse."
Fat Orange frowned: "Of course we can save civilians by doing this, but it is a thankless task for us. We have paid so much and ended up making wedding dresses for other churches!"
"You don't need a reason to save people."
“But if the church wants to grow, it must seize the opportunity!”
"Don't worry... I have a third trick, which is enough to gain both fame and fortune without exposing the church."
