Cthulhu Corrosion: Another World Rescue Plan

It's not that the people in Shengzi Town haven't thought about escaping, it's just that the Bright Church has its own strict household registration system for managing believers. Whoever escapes will suffer the consequences of those family members, friends and neighbors who did not escape.

And to escape, where can we escape to?

The Central Mountain Range almost divides the entire continent into two, and it is so tall that it cannot be bypassed or climbed to the top.

Not to mention that there are many monsters and beasts in the mountain col.

If they don't go east, then the entire west is the territory of the Church of Light. No matter which city, town, or village they go to, they can't escape the oppression of heavy taxes.

If you are unable to resist and cannot escape, you can only suffer the loss of your teeth and blood, and endure it silently.

So during that period, when people passed by the mottled statue of the Holy Child, they no longer prayed sincerely, but took a sip as they passed by.

Many people also wanted to throw away rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves, but they had no choice but to use all the edible things at home to make ends meet and not be able to put them away until they went bad.

The old town mayor stopped people from making more extreme and insulting actions. He only said one sentence: "You must pay back the blessings you have received. The debts our town has to pay are the debts we have received from people. Everyone. Our ancestors have all been owed a favor, and now it’s time to repay the debt.”

After people mourned, cried, and became angry, they finally unanimously agreed to demolish the statue of the Son.

Now, it's time to pay taxes.

The people in the town were uneasy all night. Some people carefully counted the money and were relieved but also felt very sad; some people were still short of more than half and could not make up for it at all, so they had to knock on doors door to door in the middle of the night in the snow and wind to borrow money.

But who has extra money and food?

The doors of every house were closed and the lights were extinguished, and the whole town seemed dead. Only the cries of the poor echoed in the silent night, and the heartbreak was heartbreaking.

Halfway through their howling, they saw a silver-haired figure walking out of the night. The man was extremely handsome, with delicate and picturesque eyebrows. He was slightly similar to the statue of the Holy Son in the memories of the townspeople.

"You are... you are..." The cries of the poor townspeople stopped abruptly. Their eyes widened, and their names came to their lips, but they were interrupted by the silver-haired man's question.

"Want to get out of here?"

"……ah?"

The next day was the annual ‘Tax Day’ of the Light Church.

Believers need to pay taxes to the Church of Light to atone for their sins. Therefore, devout believers also call this day the ‘Day of Atonement’.

When the tax official arrived at the Town of the Holy Son in a flying feather carriage with a whole team of high-level extraordinary bodyguards, he was surprised to find that the entire town was empty except for the church.

Not only that, every house was empty, with nothing left.

Not to mention the people, money, food, rice and noodles, even the tables, chairs and mattresses were all gone. All the cabinets that could be moved were moved away, leaving only the part connected to the wall and door frame that had not been removed.

——No, some rooms even have missing door panels.

"What...what is going on??!" The tax officer was dumbfounded for a moment.

"Report——everyone in the town is missing. They must have escaped!"

"The bishops, priests...all of them were knocked unconscious and tied up! All the treasures in the church were stolen! The thieves didn't even leave tables, chairs, candlesticks!"
