Angela and Russell Weiss nodded in unison.
"Being able to participate is definitely a better experience than just watching from the audience."
Angela gives off a poised and generous vibe.
Twelve Nights glanced at the time.
"There are still a few hours before the official start. Russell, you push Angela to the dressing room to choose clothes. Leave the changing to me. I'll take you there."
"Thank you."
Russell Weiss pushed Angela, following behind Kazesawa and Twelve Nights.
Angela, who had been calm, began to look around nervously.
Russell Weiss noticed something was wrong.
"Angela, what's wrong?"
Kazema and Twelve Nights also looked over.
Angela did not hide anything.
“I can sense that my kind are nearby.”
The wind and marshland point to the twelfth night.
"If we're talking about the same kind, isn't Twelve Nights one of them?"
Angela shook her head and gently corrected, "Twelve Nights is a special case. She hasn't fully absorbed the Angel Heart yet. I mean, like me, she's a fully formed angel."
Chapter 441 The Hidden Angel
"That is to say, there is a fully-formed angel nearby."
A beautiful figure flashed through Feng Zejian's mind.
"Um, may I ask about the criteria for an angel's descent?"
Russell Weiss explained, "Angels only descend upon areas covered by faith. Theoretically, people all over the world could be angels, but according to the Vatican's surveys in recent years, 90% of angels are Westerners."
At that moment, Feng Zejian decided who the angel would be.
It's Aoki Sakura, no doubt about it.
She is of mixed race, different from ordinary people, and her family is a family of superhumans, but her behavior is more like that of an ordinary person.
There was neither concealment nor public announcement.
Just as she wished, Aoki Sakura walked over, dressed in a fitted outfit.
This time, Aoki Sakura lacked her usual enthusiasm; clearly, her target wasn't Kazesawa.
Angela and Aoki Sakura locked eyes, and in that instant, they both recognized each other's identities.
"Senior, you're an angel, right?"
Aoki Sakura felt a little guilty.
"No."
"Senior, I'll be sad if you lie to me."
Aoki Sakura sighed helplessly.
"I didn't expect that I would still be discovered after hiding for so long."
Feng Zejian was somewhat bewildered.
"Wait, what do you mean by hiding for so long?"
Twelve Nights knew this wasn't the place to talk.
"Let's talk somewhere else."
The scene shifts to a small fitting room in Fengze.
Several people looked at each other.
In the end, Feng Zejian couldn't help but ask first.
"Senior, what's going on with you? If anyone bullies you, just tell me."
Sakura Aoki shook her head.
“No one is bullying me. Like you said, I am an angel, but not an angel who doesn’t perform his duties because of some special circumstances.”
"I simply don't want to fulfill my responsibilities."
Feng Zejian suddenly realized.
“Your negligent angel, and you know who you are.”
Aoki Sakura quickly covered Kazesawa's mouth.
"Honey, don't talk nonsense about this. If the higher-ups find out, I'll be in big trouble."
Feng Zejian was somewhat bewildered.
"Is this even a valid explanation?"
Angela explained, "The angels who descend need a trigger to regain their memories and abilities, such as a moment between life and death, a great upheaval, or a sudden enlightenment."
Sakura Aoki forced a smile.
"If I remember correctly, you should be a rainbow angel."
Aoki Sakura nodded.
"You have a very good memory."
Feng Zejian was somewhat curious.
"Senior, do you have any special abilities?"
"I have sealed my abilities, but that doesn't mean I can't speak them."
"I can create rainbows."
Feng Zejian felt that this ability was somewhat useless.
"Why does it not seem very strong?"
Angela corrected her, "No, the Rainbow Angel is a very important angel among the descending angels. Her abilities are not combat-oriented, but rather functional."
“The rainbow created by the rainbow angels is not an ordinary rainbow, but a rainbow bridge that can be touched.”
"When organisms step onto the rainbow bridge, they all undergo a transformation. According to scientific explanation, crossing the rainbow bridge unlocks the genetic locks within the organism."
With that said, Feng Zejian understood somewhat.
"Are there any side effects to walking on this rainbow bridge?"
Angela shook her head.
"There are no side effects."
"Therefore, rainbow angels have a high priority in the Church. However, angels choose to seal their own abilities, so the people in the Church cannot find them. Only angels can sense each other."
“And the angels of the Papacy do not go out unless there are special circumstances.”
Kazema understood everything and turned to look at Aoki Sakura.
"What are you thinking, senior?"
"Actually, I want to wait until I have a sweet romance, have a bunch of lovely children, and then spend my whole life with the one I love before returning to the Papacy. That should take about seventy or eighty years. It mainly depends on how long my dear can live."
The pressure on Feng Zejian was mounting, and upon hearing this, the Vatican wished they were dead sooner.
"Your name is now Aoki Sakura, so I'll call you by that name."
"Sakura Aoki, you should know what our meeting means. Even if I pretend I never met you today, you will be found out someday."
Aoki Sakura looked away, seemingly wanting to escape reality.
Kazema observed Aoki Sakura's condition.
He always felt that Aoki Sakura wasn't just playful; she genuinely loved to play, and there was some hidden reason behind it.
"Senior, do you have any other concerns? With me here, there's nothing to worry about."
Upon hearing this, both Angela and Russell Weiss were taken aback.
Aoki Sakura lowered her eyes and sighed.
"Decades ago, I was still choosing the right place to land. I usually hid in the rainbow."
"At that time, I was inspired by my companions and came to a place whose exact location I did not even know."
"I saw it...."
Aoki Sakura clenched her fists, her chest heaving violently.
Feng Zejian reassured her, "It's alright, senior, I'm here for you."
Upon hearing this, Aoki Sakura immediately threw herself into Kaze Sawa's arms.
"Honey, that scene was terrifying."
"My three companions, one was covered in blood and thorns in the pool of holy water, one had his heart pierced by the holy spear and pinned to a tree, and one lost his head and was chained to a cross."
"The only remaining companion who was still alive used his last bit of strength to say only one thing to me: stay away from the Church."
"Cherubim, Surge, and Heart, these are the three angels."
Angela was so shocked she couldn't speak.
Feng Zejian, however, fell into thought.
"Is it that the Cherubim have lost their heads, the Heart Angels have had their hearts pierced, and the Speed Angels are entangled in thorns and unable to move?"
Aoki Sakura nodded slightly.
"The Holy Water Pool, the Holy Lance, the Cross, and their distance from the Vatican—this clearly indicates a problem within the Vatican."
"It's even possible that the person who did this was someone within the Vatican, or even someone at the highest level within the Vatican."
Feng Zejian looked at Angela and Rosell with a questioning gaze.
"I believe what my senior said, so I can't trust the Vatican now, including you."
Angela remained silent.
He remained silent for a while, then took a deep breath.
“I was also deeply saddened to hear this news. This matter is definitely not as simple as we thought. Rosell and I can pretend we don’t know about Aoki Sakura’s matter, but we can’t pretend we don’t know about Twelve Nights’ matter.”
"She still needs to join the Holy See. I will guarantee Twelve Nights' safety, and I will also investigate this matter secretly to try to find out the truth."
Feng Zejian didn't say anything.
As things stand, this is the best arrangement available.
Twelve Nights has already been exposed, but Aoki Sakura hasn't.
While he could certainly prevent Twelve Nights from joining the Church, this would do more harm than good to her.
Chapter 442 Angels Will Not Betray Deep Affection
He has no choice but to trust the two people in front of him.
Feng Zejian let out a long sigh of relief.
Let's leave this topic here for now. We can talk about the future later. Let's not spoil everyone's good mood.
As he spoke, Feng Zejian took out a tissue he carried with him and intercepted the little pearl that Aoki Sakura had been preparing to fall.
Everyone fell silent for a while, briefly regaining their composure.
I got up on the twelfth night.
"Roselle, you can stay here. This is the men's changing area."
"So I pushed Angela over there to pick out clothes."
