Chapter 148 The Church's Slaughter Operation Begins
In Eve's temporary office in the East District, Su Tu was leaning back on the sofa, resting with his eyes closed.
Her Highness the Princess has been busy ever since she arrived in the East District.
The spread of news of the folly and disaster required her to grasp the overall direction, and she also needed to handle some confidential matters from the king.
They seem incredibly busy.
This is the complete opposite of Su Tu, who is now leisurely leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed, resting.
Thump thump thump—
Just as Eve finished dealing with her work and was about to close her eyes and rest for a while, like Su Tu, there was a knock on the door.
This made her rub her temples, looking slightly tired, and say softly, "Come in."
As for Su Tu, after hearing the knocking, he silently opened his eyes, wanting to see what was going on.
A moment later, a man dressed in royal guard uniform walked in and bowed respectfully to Eve.
The manners were impeccable, making Su Tu secretly yawn repeatedly.
"Alright, let's skip the formalities. Has there been any news from Father?"
Eve waved her hand impatiently, interrupting the other person's bowing in a tired tone, signaling him to get down to business.
She had just wanted to rest for a bit, but then the guard barged in and went through a whole bunch of formalities, completely exhausting the last bit of patience she had left.
"Yes, Your Highness."
The guard bowed again before explaining why the king had summoned him.
"That's how it is, Your Highness. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."
Although he went through a lot of formalities, it was the proper etiquette, and as a royal guard, he naturally paid more attention to it.
However, he still possessed basic observation skills; otherwise, the king wouldn't have sent him to deliver the message.
At such a critical moment, the message coming from the King must be a top secret.
If these secrets were to leak out, they could very well ruin their plan to entice the church to take action against the calamity of foolishness.

The fact that he was sent to deliver a message was enough to show the king's trust in him.
"Tell your father that we are aware of this and will be observing the situation from the shadows, taking appropriate action as needed."
After listening to the secrets from the royal guards, Eve's previously tired expression improved considerably.
It was as if the news was a stimulant, injecting enough energy into the tired princess.
The guard bowed again, then turned and left.
When the door closed, Eve looked excitedly at Su Tu.
"It seems our plan has succeeded; the church is ready to make its move!"
The weariness in her voice had faded considerably, replaced by excitement, and she seemed much more lively.
However, Su Tu didn't care about that. What he really cared about was the message that the guard had sent.
Just as Eve had said, the message from the king was that the church was ready to take action.
Moreover, five S-rank powerhouses were arranged to take action against the Foolish Calamity.
The guard even explained some confidential plans in great detail.
Generally speaking, this operation should be a church secret, and a top secret at that, and would certainly not be easily leaked.
Even if the emperor of the empire were to inquire personally, he would at most know that they were preparing to take action, but he would not know the specific action plan.
Apart from high-ranking members of the church, very few people knew about such specific action plans.
This shows that the Empire must have had a hidden network within the upper echelons of the Church.
Wow, it turns out Infernal Affairs isn't so far away after all.
Su Tu was lost in thought when Eve's voice interrupted him.
"Su Tu, should we go take a look now?"
Eve's voice was slightly excited, clearly indicating that she wanted to hear this juicy gossip.
There was nothing that could be done; the last time, the Foolish Calamity treated her like a clown, letting her rumors spread like wildfire throughout the East District.
The church is very likely the unsung force behind the spread of rumors, and she is also closely involved.
The church is now preparing to deal with the calamity of foolishness, which can be described as a battle between her two enemies.
She said she didn't want to watch it, but that's definitely a lie; just thinking about this hurdle makes me look forward to it.
She had never actually witnessed enemies fighting each other to the death.
However, she was unaware that one of her enemies was standing right in front of her, and she had even invited him to join her in watching the drama unfold.
Su Tu glanced at Eve, wondering if he should drag her into the dream and give her a good scare.
But after thinking about it, I decided against it.
What pulls you into a dream is your soul; if you are accidentally killed in the dream, then you are truly dead.
If nothing unexpected happens, Su Tu will likely pull all church members into the dream world and launch a dimensional reduction attack on them during the upcoming battle.
In this process, if one is even slightly careless, Eve's soul, which has been pulled into the dream, will definitely be affected.
For Su Tu, this qualified "tool" is still of great benefit.
For example, the message that the guard just relayed—if it weren't for this princess as a tool, he might not have known about the church's plan.
"Let's go take a look."
Su Tu stood up from the chair and walked towards the door first, preparing to go over and check the situation.
Although he must have known the entire siege plan, after all, he was the person involved.
However, his true self is an outsider; he has never tried watching himself transform into a fighter from the sidelines.
This plan provides a good opportunity to take a direct look at the combat power of the avatars from an outsider's perspective.
Eve glanced at Su Tu's retreating figure, but didn't think much of it, and silently followed after him.
Just as the two were heading towards the outskirts of the East District, to the house where Su Tu's avatar was, the royal guard who had delivered the message to them had already become a corpse.
"The target has been eliminated; we should head back now."

A man dressed in a black robe stared intently at the corpse on the ground in the dimly lit alley.
This was the royal guard who had delivered the message to Su Tu and the others, but now he was ice-cold and lifeless.
The person who spoke was the one standing next to the man in the black robe.
Judging from his voice and physique, all that can be known is that he is a man; other details are well concealed.
He and the man in black were the executors of this assassination operation, their main objective being to prevent the leakage of some important secrets.
Neither of them knew what the secret was, nor did they want to know.
Upon hearing this, the man in black robes raised his hand and stabbed at the speaker.
Under the horrified gaze of the speaker, a dagger was accurately plunged into his throat, and his body fell straight backward.
After confirming his death, the man in black quickly cleaned up the body and bloodstains in the alley.
When he left, the entire alley was exactly the same as when they entered.
After changing his clothes, he quietly blended into the crowd and headed towards the palace.
