Tomie didn’t ask for clarification, but just pretended that she was the same Tomie as before and spoke in an unhappy tone.

“How can she be Maria!”

Tenjo Yukiro said excitedly, kneeling in front of Tomie and holding Tomie’s hands tightly with both hands.

“That salt woman thought she was the reincarnation of Mary. I was young at the time and when I saw her beauty, I really thought she was the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary, so I married her. However, she does not have any of the kindness of Mary. She is just a self-righteous, jealous, arrogant, cold, sadistic person who looks down on others. Not to mention the Virgin Mary, she should be punished by God.”

The corners of Tomie’s eyes twitched involuntarily.

Self-righteous, arrogant, indifferent, looking down on others… She often heard these words, which were used by others to scold her.

You might as well just say my name!

Tomie looked at Tenjo Yukio with displeasure.

“There is a character in the Bible named Lot’s wife. She was turned into a pillar of salt because she disobeyed God’s will. I think my wife should be the one who should be turned into a pillar of salt!”

Tenjo Yukiro didn’t notice Tomie’s unhappiness, he continued speaking in high spirits.

“I have been searching for the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary, and when I met my wife Meiling, I thought I had finally found it, but reality was the opposite of what I had hoped for… Meiling was a gentle woman at first, but she gradually turned into a woman full of anger… Tomie!”

Tenjo Yukiro climbed up, climbed onto Tomie’s body, and looked at her face with fiery eyes.

“Tomie, you are so beautiful, you are the Virgin Mary!”

“Ha ha ha ha ha……”

Tomie covered her chin with her hands and laughed happily. She was very satisfied with Tenjo Yukiro’s compliment.

That’s right, that’s it, this is the evaluation she deserves, give her more praise!

“Come, let’s continue what we didn’t finish. I will hold a blessing prayer for you and let you receive the blessing of the Virgin Mary.”

Tenjo Xuelang shouted wildly. He pulled Tomie out of the office without closing the door and hurried towards the church.

Outside the church, the cleaner and the female student looked at each other.

“Have you checked here too?”

“You are worthy of being my right-hand man. You found the church so quickly.”

Shikino pushed open the church door and waved to Ito Jun.

Ito Jun stood there in embarrassment, wondering whether he should wait until others came and then go in together to avoid becoming a sacrifice to Shikino’s luck.

“What a strange statue of the Virgin Mary, shedding tears of blood. Don’t they think this is unlucky?”

Shikino’s voice came from inside the church, and she seemed to have discovered something.

Ito Junya did not hesitate and entered the church with a broom and dustpan.

Ito Jun saw the statue of the Virgin Mary that Shikino mentioned. The compassionate Virgin Mary had tears in her eyes. These were not ordinary tears, but tears of blood.

Two lines of blood and tears flowed from the eyes of the Virgin Mary statue, slid across the body, and flowed to the feet.

Shikino touched the bloodstain hard, then put his finger in front of his nose and smelled it.

“What did you find?”

Ito Jun walked over and asked Shikino.

“The blood is very fresh. If nothing unexpected happens, the most recent tears and blood must have flowed within three days…”

As Shikino spoke, he touched the bloodstains on the Virgin Mary statue with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to wipe them clean.

“The earliest bloodstain was at least half a year ago…”

Shikino’s father is the director of a large hospital. Her ambition is to become a doctor and inherit her father’s position. She has a deep knowledge of this field.

“After that, the statue of the Virgin Mary would bleed every once in a while…”

Shikino took a few steps back, came to Ito Jun’s side, and spoke quietly.

“I suspect there is a dead body inside the statue of the Virgin Mary. Go and smash the statue open.”

“why me?”

Ito Junxu narrowed his eyes. He was never the one who got good things, but he was the first one that came to mind when bad things happened, right?

“This is called division of labor. I’ll be in charge of the identification, and you’ll be in charge of digging up the body. Let’s get started.”

The reason given by Shikino couldn’t be more reasonable, however, how could Ito Jun agree so easily?

This is a fatal matter!

“Let’s go look somewhere else first. Not all clues are out in the open.”

Ito Jun decisively refused.

Shikino didn’t dare to act rashly. Something that had been dead for so long and could still shed tears of blood was definitely not something that could be easily provoked.

The two men deliberately avoided the statue of the Virgin Mary and walked deeper into the church.

The rooms were opened one by one. When the door of the sixth room was opened, Ito Jun and Shikino were both stunned.

They saw a mountain.

The mountain was formed by salt pillars. The human bodies that turned into salt pillars piled together formed a salt mountain more than three meters high. A cross was inserted on the top of the salt mountain, with a salted person tied on it, just like Jesus Christ.

“How many people are here?”

Shikino asked.

“There must be at least more than a hundred!”

Ito Jun said in a deep voice.

To build such a huge mountain, there must be no less than a hundred people who were turned into pillars of salt. It’s simply insane!

“This is the follower of the evil god…”

Ito Jun suddenly thought of himself.

The god of death needs 100 souls of suicides, the god of gluttony needs 100 piles of ice cream made from humans, and the Virgin Mary probably needs a lot of sacrifices too…

Will he commit such an atrocity one day?

Ito Jun couldn’t help but shudder.

Shikino and Ito Jun returned to the statue of the Virgin Mary. Looking at the blood on the statue and thinking of the salt pillars in the room, their expressions became very heavy.

“Go ahead and break the shell.”

Shikino urged Ito Jun.

Holy Mary, please protect me!

Jun Ito raised his broom and prayed silently.

At this time, footsteps were heard from outside the door.

Ito Jun and Shikino looked at each other and quickly ran to the corridor on the side of the church.

As soon as the two of them hid in a place covered by curtains, someone entered the church.

The two hid behind the curtains and looked towards the middle of the church. They saw an old woman with a mean face walking in. She was wearing the same decorations as the Virgin Mary. She walked to the statue of the Virgin Mary with a sad face and prayed to her.

“Mrs. Maria, please listen to my troubles. I have always believed that I am your reincarnation, but this belief is wavering. Michelangelo once said: The Virgin Mary is immortal. However, I cannot escape aging.”

Ito Jun was speechless.

That’s what they said, do you take it seriously?

“Mrs. Maria, when can I get pregnant with Jesus? I am already over fifty years old, and the Holy Spirit has not descended upon me… Moreover, my greatest pain is that I cannot control my anger over trivial matters. I should be a loving woman like you… Despite this, I still feel angry, because of the unpious students… because of the undisciplined teachers… and even more because of my frivolous husband!”

“She is the Wrathful Woman.”

Shikino put his mouth close to Ito Jun’s ear and whispered his guess.

Ito Jun remained calm, he also noticed it.

“It’s obvious that she is the mistress, and she is praying to the Virgin Mary saying that she is angry because the teacher didn’t check. It’s ridiculous.”

“If her husband wasn’t frivolous, there wouldn’t be a wife like her.”

Ito Jun nodded and couldn’t help but complain.

“Is this a deliberate test for me? Why can’t I control this emotion that a saint shouldn’t have? I once secretly suspected that this was a curse cast on me by my husband’s ex-wife.”

The Angry Woman’s prayers continued, and her words gradually became filled with hatred.

“His ex-wife is a woman who always boasts that she is the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary, but she has no qualifications at all. I am the real reincarnation of the Virgin Mary… Even God is on my side.”

The words of the Wrathful Woman contained a firm belief. She seemed to really think that she was the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary. Her words that even God was on her side did not seem to be groundless.

A thoughtful look flashed across Ito Jun’s eyes.

Could the so-called heaven be the evil god?

“Even so, is it his ex-wife who is using that curse to hinder me? Please save me from his ex-wife’s clutches!”

The wrathful woman pleaded earnestly.

Shikino’s expression changed and she pulled Ito Jun hard.

“Look, the statue of the Virgin Mary is crying again… Is that true?”

Shikino had a guess in his mind.

It would be ironic if her guess was true.

“Ah! Lady Maria is shedding tears of blood again. I already know your sorrow.”

The Wrathful Lady stroked the face of the Virgin Mary statue, wiped the blood and tears onto her hands, turned her head away feeling sad, and her brows raised as she noticed something strange about the curtains.

“Who is there!”

The angry woman screamed with a hideous look on her face and ran towards the curtains.

Ito Jun’s first reaction was to grab the arm that Shikino was pushing towards him.

Shikino blinked, held Ito Jun’s arm with his backhand, and a worried expression appeared on his face.

“Let’s run!”

Shikino pulled Ito Jun deeper into the corridor, turned his face back to the front, and smacked his lips silently.

“The Wrath of Devil!”

Before he ran far, a man’s roar suddenly sounded from behind.

The angry woman stopped chasing Ito Jun and Shikino, turned her head and saw that it was Yamashita who ran in from outside the church.

“How can a cleaner enter a church? Get out! This is a blasphemy against the Virgin Mary!”

Seeing Yamashita wearing a cleaner’s uniform, the angry woman shouted angrily.

“Blasphemy? I’ll show you what blasphemy is! Go to hell!”

Yamashita took out the shotgun that Ito Jun had made himself, pointed the gun at the angry woman, and pulled the trigger.

All five bullets were fired, and three of them hit the Angry Woman’s body, hitting her chest and arm respectively.

The impact of the bullet pierced through the skin and flesh of the Angry Woman. She couldn’t help but scream and fell to the ground.

“Damn it! Bastard! Anyone who blasphemes Mary will have his brain gradually turned into salt! Anyone who angers Mary will be punished by being turned into a pillar of salt. You must remember this in your heart until you fall into hell!”

The Angry Demon Woman screamed and roared. She stretched out her hand towards the mountainside, and a strange light enveloped the mountainside’s body. The mountainside’s body gradually turned into the shape of a pillar of salt.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a chin on his butt came over and shouted to Ito Jun and Ito Junji.
