Forty-six. The fifth believer

Light and shadow began to move faster, representing the rapid passage of time,

As time passed, everything happening in the church was reflected in Lu Li's mind in an incomprehensible way.

Lu Li "saw" the priest leaving the church; during that time, believers were praying and celebrating Mass on the benches, or chatting with a nun.

As time went on, the first familiar figure appeared in the church.

Olivia and her child sat down on the bench, a gentle glow falling on her flaxen hair, occasionally interrupted by the child's coughing.

The nun came over, asked something, then left, and soon reappeared with some food.

Then came Green and his daughter.

The twice-seen sorrowful girl was now a cheerful young lady, sitting on the bench next to Olivia and her child, arm in arm with her father.

They talked about something, knowing each other had been summoned by the priest.
