Opening an office in Taila

Chapter 268 Faith

Song Yufeng waited outside for a long time, and then he heard the door open. He turned around and saw Lilina walking out with a disappointed and sad expression.

Song Yufeng noticed that Lilina was acting strangely, so he glanced into the room. What he saw startled him; the man was about to hang himself. Song Yufeng rushed into the room, grabbed the man, and pulled him off the chair.

Song Yufeng took out a small knife he carried with him and cut the rope, then moved the stool away and said, "Calm down, don't do anything stupid..."

However, before Song Yufeng could finish speaking, he saw the man jump out of the window without hesitation. Because he had hanged himself close to the window, he had already moved to the window and jumped down when Song Yufeng cut the rope.

"No!" Song Yufeng cried out, but she couldn't grab the man anymore. The man fell from the eighth floor, leaving only a loud "bang".

That was the last sound he made in this world.

"Damn it!" Song Yufeng punched the wall in frustration. He had completely forgotten that he still had the pocket watch that Hai Mao had given him. Why hadn't he thought of using it back then?

He then asked Lilina, "What happened?"

Lilina crouched down, buried her head in her arms, and said, "It's terrible..."

"How bad is it?" Song Yufeng stepped forward and asked.

“I always believed, we believed, that Isamara would save us, would save everyone on this land. As long as you believe in Isamara, believe in the Church of the Deep Sea, you will be liberated one day. God has not abandoned us, everything will be alright. This is what my sisters and brothers have always taught me.” Lilina’s body trembled slightly.

Could it be that she is wavering?

Could it be that!

Song Yufeng sensed this was a good opportunity, so he patiently squatted down next to Lilina and asked, "But?"

"But my conversation with that person just now has had a huge impact on my worldview. If Isamara is really as great as those people say, and truly wants to save the world, then where was God when that man, or those workers he mentioned who were in similar circumstances, were suffering? Some of them even believed in God, but ultimately lost everything because of their suffering. Why? I don't understand..."

Lilina stood up again, looked at the workers below, and said, "I know why the people here don't believe in God or religion. It's because God has never come to save them. Perhaps God doesn't even exist?"

However, after saying those words, Lilina felt goosebumps rise all over her body. How could this be? Isamara certainly existed, and gods certainly existed, but why…

Lilina's mind was in turmoil. She said to Song Yufeng, "Sorry, Song Yufeng, I'm a little tired today. Let's stop here for now and let me think about it some more."

It seemed there was no need for him to say anything more, Song Yufeng thought, and Lilina walked step by step out of the community.

For some reason, Song Yufeng felt a pang of pity for that figure. He was somewhat surprised, but quickly dismissed the feeling. Why should I pity a mere sea creature? This is a good thing for me.

Song Yufeng shook her head. No matter what, she was just a Sea Heir. The Deep Sea Church would eventually be destroyed, and so would the Sea Heir. They had to be destroyed.
