Miulan City, Thorn Church.
"Wish of Suffering" Chapel.
A hundred Thorn Recruits, including Bai Pu, neatly arranged into ten rows and ten columns, each sitting on the ground, waiting for the Suffering Ceremony.
Bai Pu was among them.
The expressions of the Thorn Recruits varied; some were excited, some were fervent, some nervous, and others afraid.
Next to Bai Pu was a fervent recruit, a frail girl of about fourteen or fifteen, with a missing right arm. She knelt on the ground, her lips trembling, murmuring constantly.
"Praise the Holy Mother, praise the suffering, Bonnie is willing to open her mind to welcome the coming suffering, only hoping the great deity will show mercy and grace, so Bonnie's right hand could get better soon..."
Bai Pu squinted his eyes.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Bai Pu felt the girl was special.
