Chapter 286 Start Acting

"Bishop Marion."

Marian, who was sitting on the chair in the center of the hall, shook a little. He looked at Lin Fan and Judge Omar, who had ashen faces, with only pain on their faces.

"You all know that even if the people believe in the emperor, they don't want to believe you priests and nuns."

"I know."

Ma Ruian said these words slowly, and every time he said them, he felt as painful as his heart being bitten by insects and ants.

No populace was willing to believe in these priests, who had gone from being celebrants of the Emperor's will to being the butchers of the hive's destruction. Even if Marion was not deceived by the devil, he would still feel pain at the incompetence of the state church.

"So do you have any opinion on your verdict?"

"I don't have any opinions at all."

"Very well, pack up and go serve your sentence."

The door was closed, and Bishop Marian stood outside the door in despair.

No, now it was Mariam, with everything removed from him except a book of scriptures under his washed white burqa.

Walking through the streets, people on both sides were cleaning up the ruins and various white powders left behind. Marian knew those were the ashes of the burned dead.

From time to time, you can see some people crying in front of a pile of ashes. Marian wanted to comfort this person, but was roughly pushed away.

"I don't need you, I will pray to the Emperor!"

With his mouth open and not knowing what to say, Marian had no choice but to continue walking forward. Along the way, almost everyone avoided him.

Sometimes you can see some nuns cleaning up in the ruins. Their bodies are covered with sweat and mud, and their bodies after training are obviously stronger than others.

Sister Selina is fighting against the huge rubble and rocks with a shovel. Each shovel can remove a weight that only ordinary people can reach with a shovel.

Waving to the nun who was isolated and mistrusted by the people from a distance, Marian saw a cheerful figure running towards him.

It's her again, Marian saw this girl on the battlefield.

"Hello, Sister Sauce."

"Huh!" Sha Si was not wearing her power armor. Her upper body was a simple breastplate with a red cross engraved on it. Her lower body was a long skirt made of coarse cloth. There was a black leather bag hanging on her waist. It looked like That's Sauce's medical kit.

"I finally found you. Wait for me. I ran a long way."

"I'm sorry, Sister Sauce, I got distracted."

Ma Ruian's apologetic mouth was pressed by Sha Si's index finger. Looking at Sha Si's somewhat angry eyes, Ma Ruian laughed helplessly.

"Ms. Sauce."

"That's right, now you are not a bishop, and I am not a nun." Sha Si patted Marian's shoulder, jumped in front of him briskly, and looked back at him.

"Let's go? You and I still have things to do."

"good."

Marian followed the sauce, and he felt a comfortable and warm feeling that he had never experienced before.

He had not experienced this kind of emotion at least since he joined the religion, and the sauce lady in front of him really made Marian feel at ease.

He has never seen Sha Zi look distressed, nor has he seen Sha Zi look sad. When he met Sha Si from the battlefield, she was enthusiastic and cheerful, a strong and brave girl.

After getting on the elevator going to the lower area, Marian felt that the light he could see was getting less and less, until it sank into the ground, and there was nothing but the trembling light of the light bulb.

Sauce was tiptoeing and then falling down. It seemed that the bad situation here did not affect her mood.

"Ms. Sauce, can I ask a question?"

Although Sha Si didn't answer, Marian could read the meaning of "please" from her beautiful, smart and lively eyes.

"Don't you feel sad? I'm not saying that your optimistic mood is bad, but facing the current hive city, it's hard for me to maintain my mood like you. Do you have any secrets?"

After hearing this, Sha Si covered her mouth and smiled softly. She looked at Marian seriously, "I...I would have felt sad and scared at the earliest. Many of my sisters would never be seen again after they went to the battlefield. Even their corpses were gone." Couldn't find it."

Marian looked at the sad Sha Si and felt his heart aching. He felt that he wanted to smooth Sha Si's frown so that she wouldn't be so sad.

"At that time, I was walking alone on the battlefield. I couldn't find anyone who could save me. I looked at the shells streaking across the sky and squeezed the gun in my hand tightly."

"That's when I heard it. I heard a faint cry for help. I rushed over and smashed the monster surrounding the injured to pieces!"

"It was a poor kid, his intestines were bleeding all over the floor, and he looked at me and asked me if I was going to survive."

"I said you were going to survive! I used everything I learned, I blocked the wound, prevented infection, and I transported him to a safe, open bunker."

"That's when I prayed to the emperor, let me save a few more people! I rushed to the battlefield again and again, dragging people back for treatment one after another. Some people were already hopeless. I watched them fight for themselves. I couldn't help but cry."

"Do you know what those seriously injured people said to me?"

"say what?"

Not only was Marian listening to the story of Sauce seriously, but other people on the elevator were also listening attentively, with solemn faces.

Sha Si wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and showed a bright and sunny smile, "He said: We are not fighting to make people cry, but to let more people live. Smile, you will laugh. It must be beautiful.”

Marian looked at the sauce, and he could already imagine the situation in the bunker at that time.

The air was filled with the fishy smell of blood and the terrible smell emitted by various internal organs.

The dried blood on the ground mixed with the flowing new blood, and the seriously injured imperial soldiers looked at the medical nun Sauce who was covered in blood and looked tired.

No one blamed the little girl for failing to save their lives, but met their deaths in a more peaceful state.

The people who are about to die comfort the living not to cry for them.

"Believe in the beauty of life, maintain an optimistic attitude, and know that the empire is always invincible."

"I understand, Ms. Sauce."

Marian looked at the sauce and tried to smile, but as a bishop, he kept a solemn look for too long, and even the smile he made was so stiff.

"Haha~ It seems you still need some time to study, Marian."

Sauce's laughter stopped as the elevator came to a stop, and the crowd quickly poured out, then poured in.

The two of them started working on the lower area.

After crossing several pipelines, Sha Si and Marian arrived at a camp that remained here.

Many people looked like they had just finished working, and their bodies were covered in sweat that had not yet evaporated, glistening under the light.

An army was distributing food, and they put pieces of compressed food into the hands of these people.

"It seems that this is where we will stay. Are you confident?"

"You should not ask a loyal servant of the Emperor such a question. I am always prepared."

"Stop being so serious, you're looking scary again."

Walking up to Colonel Krieger, Sauce made an aquila salute, "We are doctors sent here, and he is my assistant. Is there any room available for the assignment?"

“There are rooms everywhere!”

A man yelled angrily at Sha Si. He could tell the difference in Sha Si. After all, there were only poor people and mutants in this place. How could there be such a fair and beautiful girl.

It must be a nun.

The colonel turned his head and glanced at the man. The remaining Krieg soldiers picked up their guns and prepared to arrest this disruptive guy.

Raising his hand to stop the soldiers' behavior, the colonel just warned the man with his eyes and explained to Sha Si.

"They are just frightened. He has no ill intentions towards you. His children and wife died in the war."

"I understand, I don't know what you call it."

"I'm Colonel Erica, you can call me Erica."

"Erica? What a nice name."

"Thanks."

Marion looked at Colonel Erica and felt that this Krieger was surprisingly fond of talking, and he didn't look so heavy or cold.

Quickly giving Sauce an address note, Colonel Erica then began to supervise the food distribution in this camp. They were very busy and there were many camps to visit.

Shasi and Marian walked in the hostile eyes of the residents. Although they were treated like this, Shasi still treated people with a kind smile.

Entering the shack, he opened the medical bag on his body and checked that the medicines were intact. Shasi took out a piece of cloth and wrapped it around the pillar at the door.

The bright red cross is so out of place in this gray area. When many people see this red, their first reaction is the horror of the battlefield.

They closed their eyes tightly and left, but no one came to trouble them. After all, the daily food was not enough to support them to do more activities.

A waste of energy is a waste of food.

Many knowledgeable old people vaguely guess that the current nests may be short of food, and the great famine they experienced as children decades ago is about to come.

Every morning Marian could see Sauce sitting at the table, confidently waiting for someone in need to walk through the door.

Until the bell reminded me of the night, the power of the sun lamp was reduced, and Sauce could not wait for a patient.

Maybe this is good. Marian thought selfishly, at least he could sit quietly in the room and admire Shasi's smile and Shasi's eyes.

No one came to disturb their lives, but Marian also knew that this was just his fantasy. They are not here for their honeymoon, they are here to help the residents here and atone for their sins.

Such monotonous days passed for a few days, until when Shasi went out for a walk, Marian heard a commotion on the street.

Taking a closer look, he saw that Sha Si was firmly protecting a child, while the other residents were angrily trying to tear the child into pieces.

Novels often mention conflicts between mutants and ordinary people. But ordinary people on some planets don't look normal either. So maybe mutants really are monsters?

(Here are the official standards for identifying mutants given in the daily article of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Mutants generally have harsh environments + chaotic energy. Of course, it is the less obvious chaotic energy. The empire itself is too obvious. Go and solve it. And it was mentioned a lot in the background that some humans who survived the Golden Age changed themselves beyond recognition. On the way to the Great Crusade, the Space Marine Chapter destroyed many of these precious humans.)
