Chapter 36: Mother's Kindness and Son's Filial Piety

At the very last moment before she reached the corner of the stairs, Li Ge instantly activated her Golden Eyes.

In that instant, he saw the label above the woman's head.

Widow, Fanatic, Paranoid, Fallen One...

"Thump!"

The mother's figure disappeared at the end of the second floor, and at the same time, Li Ge instantly closed his Golden Eyes.

The living room was very quiet. Even Xiaoye, the most skilled assassin, couldn't help but show hostility and wanted to draw her sword just now.

The pressure from their "mother" was simply too great.

If all the followers of the Datong Cult are at this level, then they don't need to consider any violent means; they might as well just give up and go to sleep.

In particular, this is a combat-oriented dungeon.

"Li Ge, say something!" Yi Lian suddenly said. They had previously discussed how to attack the headquarters of the Datong Cult, but now it seemed impossible.

If their own "mother" is this strong, the other followers must be just as strong, right?

"Isn't it obvious? Since the strength of the followers is extremely difficult for us to deal with individually, then there must be allies of ours in this world," Xiaoye said, starting to undermine Yilian.

"Uh." Yi Lian also scratched his head. He should have thought of this too, but the pressure of facing this monster mother was too great, which made him lose his composure.

At the same time, he immediately revealed the information he had just received: "I didn't want to be the first to speak out, but I felt a sudden surge of anger after hearing that the tuition fees were donated to the church."

"Yes, but I'm different from you. I suddenly felt a sense of fear," Xiaoye said. "This shouldn't be happening to me."

Valerie also reached out and added, "Me too. I wanted to just do it, but suddenly I felt a sense of fear, like something was gripping my heart..."

Only Li Ge remained silent, because he was beginning to understand why this place felt so familiar.

A heterodox religion, a broken home, a monstrous mother...

The imperial high command, in cahoots with the heretical religion, formed a theocratic alliance...

"So that's it, so this is the place..." Li Ge suddenly realized why it felt so familiar.

In an instant, he had an idea.

Meanwhile, the other three were still discussing.

"I feel this is not a coincidence, but rather that the emotions of the 'original owner' of our identity still affect us. It's not that we are weaker than 'Mother,' but that the subconscious of this original identity is still influencing us," Xiaoye offered her thoughts.

"That makes sense. So, does that mean the first step in this monthly exam is how to overcome the influence of one's original identity?" Yi Lian added.

Valerie couldn't get a word in edgewise, and could only marvel at how advanced the school's technology was. We were able to automatically adapt to our identities in this world, and there was even a subconscious influence from our original identities on us.

Although she had just finished speaking, Yi Lian and Xiao Ye rolled their eyes at her, and Valerie immediately shut up again.

"By the way, Li Ge, say something!" Yi Lian noticed that Li Ge, who usually loved to give orders and create big surprises, was unusually quiet today, so he immediately asked.

"I have an idea." As soon as Li Ge spoke, everyone fell silent and watched him in silence.

"Let's go kill the dog emperor!" Li Ge said very seriously. The sunlight shone on his face, making half of his face covered with lines of shadow, as if onomatopoeia were floating around him.

"Huh?" The other three slowly typed out a question mark.

……

Li Ge was now even more certain that there must be fellow countrymen from Earth among the school's high-ranking officials.

Whether it was Chernobyl last time or this monthly exam.

The information provided in this monthly exam has been deceiving you from beginning to end, whether it's directly targeting the church or filling the room with church intelligence and information from the start.

Even the suggestion of "combat-related exams" is misleading.

It can lead people into a mental inertia, making them think that all they need to do to pass this exam is find the headquarters of the Datong Cult and kill all the high-ranking members.

But this is a trap, a complete and utter trap.

Even though this group of high-ranking members of the Datong Cult died, the middle and lower ranks of the Datong Cult still exist, as do the royal family who are connected with them.

Just as he had thought, even if this group of high-ranking officials were all dead, the middle and lower ranks would immediately become high-ranking officials, or even transform into victims and become Celestial Dragons.

Don't say it's impossible. Just look at how the Squid Man manipulated the media to whitewash himself in his previous life, and you'll know.

The real solution is to use the most drastic methods to completely destroy the protective umbrella of the Datong Cult and expose it to the light of day.

What is a simple way to destroy its protective umbrella and expose it to the greatest extent possible?

Li Ge has to thank a righteous person from his previous life. It was this person who taught Li Ge a lesson in his own way and taught him what the best choice was to do in this situation.

"Let's go kill the emperor!" Li Ge said his plan again.

This wasn't because he had particularly strong analytical skills; he was simply working backward from the answer to deduce the process.

Everyone remained silent, but Xiaoye even reached out and touched his forehead, then said, "You don't have a fever?"

"Stop joking, I'm serious. The best way to get a high score is to kill the emperor. Believe it or not, as long as we can find a way to kill the emperor, the system will automatically match us with equally matched teammates to help us," Li Ge said confidently.

Despite his limited understanding of the world, he was able to extract sufficient information from the Gospels alone.

This empire selects its successor through the "Xuanwu Gate Succession Law," which means that the order of seniority and illegitimate status among princes and princesses is not taken into account; rather, the strongest candidate is chosen.

The current emperor won the last succession struggle because he had the support of the Datong Sect.

Now, the emperor has three children, and the Datong Sect naturally supports the eldest prince's faction...

In other words, as long as they successfully assassinate the emperor and expose the affairs of the Datong Cult, the system will automatically match the Second Prince and the Third Princess's forces into their camp.

Just like an old saying from a past life, as long as you are not afraid and make trouble, his political enemies will naturally help you.

There is absolutely no way that the four of us could completely eradicate the Datong Sect.

But what if the Second Prince and the Third Princess, along with their respective forces, were to jointly wipe out the Datong Sect?

This is the real key to this world!

Just like the righteous man who assassinated the former prime minister in his previous life, after he was arrested, the opposition party immediately helped him, even sparing no effort.

Just like during the Jiajing reign, the Yan faction and the Qingliu faction were locked in a life-or-death struggle. If you were to rally against the Yan faction, or even kill its key figures, Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong, and Xu Jie would definitely join the party immediately.

Similarly, if you were to lead a group of Qingliu Party members and achieve great success, Yan Shifan would definitely join the group immediately.

In particular, this is a country with a Xuanwu Gate succession system.

Everything was connected, and Li Ge thus possessed such astonishing wisdom.

Yilian, Xiaoye, and Valerie: "..."

Yi Lian scratched his head, still a little confused even though Li Ge had explained. Xiao Ye frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

As for Valerie, her face had completely turned clear and foolish, and she kept touching the back of her head.

I can't understand Korean...

"It's okay if you don't understand. Just follow my plan from now on," Li Ge said, without forcing anyone.

"Third brother, fourth brother, get up here right now! I need to perform your 'baptism,' and then tomorrow, you'll put on your best clothes and come with me to see His Holiness the Pope!" The hoarse, distorted voice of "Mother" came from upstairs.

"Let's not worry about what happens next. What should we do now?" Valerie asked.

Just now, she felt a sense of awe, not because she was afraid of her monstrous mother, but because of the subconscious feedback from her original identity.

"If I'm not mistaken, that monster's so-called 'baptism' is actually brainwashing and control through hallucinogenic drugs... and she wants to take us to see the Pope..." Xiaoye's face immediately turned grim. "She probably wants to give her daughter to those popes in exchange for a promotion!"

The atmosphere fell silent again, but this silence was like a volcano about to erupt, filled only with anger and resentment.

"If she truly came from a dysfunctional family, she wouldn't have the heart to do such a thing. Because even though she's become a monster, she's still our mother, but we don't care," Li Ge said, her expression turning extremely cold. "Then kill her!"
