Chapter 126 The Two-Faced Saint is a Big Shot (12)
He hadn't heard that voice for six years. He had been relieved that the God of Light had forgotten him, but it had returned.
007: "Holy crap! Why is He back again?" Hearing this voice, 007, hiding in the system space, tensed up immediately, but then, remembering his current location, he relaxed. No, what did he have to be afraid of?
The God of Light knew that Shi Qi couldn't answer His question right now, so he continued, "You've raised him like a dog, so he can be used and still count money for you."
Ignoring the God of Light's sarcasm, Shi Qi looked at Fran and sighed, "This is not something I can decide, but I will try to stay with you longer... You should go back first."
"Understood, Godfather..." Although it was a bit of a pity, Fran still obediently left.
After Fran left, Shi Qi turned to the God of Light in the shadows and said, "Lord God of Light, so many years have passed, why did you decide to come to me again?"
Upon hearing this, the God of Light scoffed, "Who said I came for you? Besides, your six years are nothing more than six days to me." This truly proves the saying that a day in heaven is a year on earth.
Since the God of Light had said so, Shi Qi no longer intended to put on a show of welcoming Him, and simply went about his business quietly. After all, He had said He wasn't here for him, so there was no need for him to pretend.
Fran's coming-of-age ceremony is coming soon. Rather than being insincere with the God of Light, it's better to busy himself with preparations for the ceremony.
Seemingly finding it boring, the voice of the God of Light disappeared from the room, and soon even his presence could not be sensed.
It wasn't until evening, when Shi Qi was confirming the list of invitees, that Fran came over again: "Godfather, are you still busy?" Fran walked over: "What are you busy with?"
Shi Qi instinctively replied, "I'm confirming the list of invited guests." He immediately realized something was wrong: "You don't know what I'm doing?"
Fran, with no fault to be found, smiled and said, "Isn't the Godfather preparing for my coming-of-age ceremony?"
Shi Qi gave him a probing look, then looked away and asked, "What brings you here now?"
Fran: "Isn't it dinnertime? I was thinking of coming to find the Godfather to have dinner with us. Are you leaving now, Godfather?"
Shi Dian nodded: "Let's go..."
At the dinner table, Shi Qi kept an eye on Fran, but it seemed that apart from the moment they met, Fran's behavior was perfectly normal.
"This seems to be Fran's alternate personality," Shi Qi thought to 007.
After hearing Shi Qi's words, 007 carefully examined Fran, who was eating, but still couldn't see anything wrong: "I don't see anything wrong. He looks perfectly normal..."
"There wasn't much difference, except for the slight odd behavior he showed when he first approached me. After that, he seemed no different from usual, but I just felt that they were different." To put it bluntly, it was basically just a feeling that arose.
007: "But his alter ego hasn't appeared for six years, so why has it suddenly reappeared now?"
As Shi Qi was pondering, Fran's voice suddenly rang out: "Godfather, why are you staring at me?" He looked puzzled.
Shi Qi snapped out of her daze, then looked away, shook her head, and said, "It's nothing... I've finished eating, I'm going back now."
Upon hearing Shi Qi's words, Fran immediately stood up and quickly followed Shi Qi, saying, "Godfather, wait for me!"
Shi Qi turned around and glanced at his tall figure: "Are you full?"
Seeing the confusion on Shi Qi's face, Fran calmly nodded: "I'm full."
Although Shi Qi didn't quite believe it, since the person had already said so, he couldn't say anything more. He simply asked, "Is there anything else?"
"It's nothing serious..." Fran said somewhat awkwardly, "I just wanted to ask if I can sleep with the Godfather tonight? I miss the old days a bit."
Shi Qi's lips twitched a few times, and after a moment of silence, he said, "...You're not a child who's just over ten years old anymore, are you still afraid?"
Fran shook his head firmly: "Of course I'm not afraid... I just want to be with my godfather." This statement was quite in line with his main personality, but sleeping with Shi Qi was something the original Fran would never have done, otherwise he wouldn't have gone six years without mentioning it once.
However, he wanted to see what this insider was really up to: "Alright, then you can sleep with me tonight."
Fran, with a happy smile on his face, followed Shi Qi back to his bedroom.
Since it was still early, Shi Qi did not rest immediately, but continued to handle matters related to Fran's coming-of-age ceremony.
Fran then pulled up a chair and sat down next to Shi Qi: "Is Godfather still busy?"
Shi Qi didn't look up at him, but simply nodded and said, "Your coming-of-age ceremony is in three days, and I need to make sure everything goes perfectly."
Because Shi Qi didn't look up, he didn't see the fleeting look of melancholy in Fran's eyes: "The Godfather is so good to me... By the way, has the Godfather been looking for someone these past few years?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Qi stopped what he was doing and asked in confusion, "Where did you hear that from?" At this moment, a hint of displeasure appeared in his eyes. Judging from Fran's current strength, there was no way he could know that Shi Qi had sought help.
Fran avoided the question that had just been raised, and instead asked, "May I ask why the Godfather chose a man with a birthmark on his shoulder? Perhaps I can help."
At that moment, 007 suddenly exclaimed urgently, "I remember now! Fran looks almost exactly like the God of Light, except for his hair color!"
Exactly the same? Shi Qi's pupils contracted sharply, but he feigned composure: "You can't help me, don't ask anymore." If the two looked exactly alike, did that mean that the "Fran" before him wasn't some alternate personality, but had always been the God of Light?
Moreover, how could the God of Light allow a human to look exactly like him... Considering that Fran was the pope personally chosen by the God of Light, could Fran be the God of Light's incarnation in the human world?
Thinking this, Shi Qi immediately dared not make any rash moves. After all, he was not someone he could contend with at present, and if He really found out that he had guessed His identity, who knew what He would do to him.
"Alright, you go to sleep first, I'll be there in a bit."
Upon hearing this, Fran gave up on asking further questions and shook his head, saying, "No, I want to wait for the Godfather to come along."
