...
With the final strokes of the Wash Away Injustice Talisman inked,
time began to reverse,
and the environment around Zhou Xuan changed as well; what was late at night had turned into morning.
The not-too-intense sunlight filtered through the birch forest and onto the brick wall behind the church, evoking in Zhou Xuan a feeling of beautiful bygone years.
Zhou Xuan spotted a person, it was Liu Jinmin.
He was carrying the body of his mother on his back, slowly making his way towards the back window of the church.
The window was shut, obscuring the interior from view, but behind it came instructive words,
"Same as always, place your mother's body under the wall!"
Judging by the awkward accent of the voice, the one instructing Liu Jinmin was the "Life God," that skinny, tall man who wore a wig and impersonated a foreign devil.
Liu Jinmin folded his mother Mrs. Liu's legs, and with her hands behind her back, twisted them together like a braided rope.
