"Shen Du wanted to betray the parish, and he has already suffered divine punishment."
The dim yellow light scattered unevenly on everyone in Li Zhen's house, bringing with it different shades of light and darkness.
For nearly ten seconds, nobody spoke. Even their breathing didn't seem to exist. It was as if someone had pressed the pause button for the entire room.
Finally, Ren Jie broke the silence. She raised her arms like she was cradling a baby. "Thy mercy be praised!"
Just as she said that, rapid and heavy breaths sounded in the room. They seemed to have been held in for a long time.
"We praise thy tolerance!" All the members of the parish bowed—they were more pious than ever.
Shang Jianyao joined in and meticulously did the cradling action. His voice did not waver at all.
Ren Jie then said, "Sinner Wang Yafei also suffered a divine punishment."
With that said, she slowly looked around, making everyone bow their heads.
