The lively dinner lasted until midnight. The townspeople finished a whole box of steamed seafood accompanied by hot coffee and local fruit wine. The stewed fish, soup and fried bread were also almost finished, leaving only some large bread that could be stored for a long time.
The church was filled with a slightly tipsy atmosphere. People drank wine to celebrate their narrow escape and to numb their nerves so that they would not think about whether there would be sea monsters again tomorrow. Someone who had worked in the clinic and witnessed the giant octopus fighting the deep-sea monster told the injured who were rescued at night about the battle during the day and told them that God had sent his beloved white lotus and octopus mount to save them.
The town pastor stood on the crab shell and preached, telling the townspeople that they would not die, that these giant seafood were just a test for them, and that as long as they were pious, humble, and kind, they would be saved!
Religion can comfort people at this time. People's tense spirits gradually relax because of food, wine and the myths that appear before them. The old sheriff organized young people to patrol outside the church, and he walked towards the reincarnations with two patrolmen and shook hands with them cordially.
"Thank you for saving this town." The sheriff's hands and face were severely frostbitten during the day. After eating seafood steamed in Linghu Lake at night, the wounds became smooth again, but his skin was still red, as if he had just drunk alcohol. But his eyes were sharp and clear, without any sign of drinking alcohol. He held Xu Yueshi's hand tightly and said, "I heard from old Lauren's son that you are top students of the Agricultural College? Or are you followers of the White Lotus God... the messenger of God? You know a lot, what on earth are these sea monsters, and how did they come to this town?"
