"The morgue?" Roy asked in surprise, "Why is such a gloomy place built under the church?"

"Your Excellency, Ma'am." Durke was just about to explain, when Colonel Alpha, who was wearing a large military uniform and a helmet under his arm, stepped forward and said, "The deacon master just said it well, here in the small town of Raubken A morgue has been built, but our military is in charge, not the parish."

"The reason why it was built next to the church is that after soliciting the opinions of the municipal government and voters in the early stage, everyone felt that this is a more reassuring solution. Well, it does store the remains of some citizens. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mortuary. But the remains do not account for the majority, and now there are more coffins inside, which should be coffins, coffins containing the ashes of soldiers who died in battle and the relics they carried with them during their lifetime."

"What kind of scheduling is this? How much is the body and how much is the coffin?" Fan Ning asked suspiciously.

"The largest scale is [-] corpses and [-] coffins. Now the replacement is very frequent, but the overall utilization rate is relatively saturated." Colonel Alpha said, "The remains are for temporary storage to prevent the plague, and the coffins are It is used as a transfer for transportation. Whenever we go to the front line or on the eve of a mission, many of our soldiers have the habit of leaving simple suicide notes behind or carrying them with them. The wish to transport the coffin back to the homeland for burial.”

"Even if the people who believe in the 'unfallable fire' advocate cremation after death, transporting ashes is still a waste of wartime resources. However, in order to boost morale and comfort the living, we have been doing this all the time. .”

"It's just that due to the constraints of reality, we can't take into account the heads of every soldier. According to regulations, special circumstances such as recruits, veterans, female soldiers, officers, only children, and meritorious service should be given priority. I don’t deny that this has created some situations of taking power and taking bribes, and insiders who have decision-making power or handling power may use it for some personal gain, but I still think that the existence of this job is a thing that has more advantages than disadvantages.”

Fanning slowly digested the information.

There are really many details, including the fact that the church was bombed by the air raid, there were esoteric believers in the crew, and a "mortuary" was found. It is not very abnormal, but it always feels "not normal".

Just like when I visited Lebic, I met the Academy of Gods who acted secretly and created the "Hester Worm Incident".

After I came here, the air raid on the church became a precedent?

"Does Miss Roy have any insights?" Fan Ning saw that the girl in the windbreaker opposite seemed to want to speak, and asked proactively.

"I'm recalling what you mentioned before, Priest Hester's long-term free clinic," Roy said, "If the Society of God's Descent is secretly promoting the so-called 'wormology' research, there is a prerequisite: If you want to have people who have been inhabited by worms as the research object, then the Hester incident and the church air raid have something in common."

"Encountered enough people?" Fanning was reminded.

Yes, participating in free clinics for a long time, or controlling the transportation of coffins, what they have in common is that they can constantly contact a large number of people!A large number of people from different regions, different ages, different spiritual characteristics, and different past experiences!

—If "dead people" or "remains" are also considered people in a broad sense.

"Your Excellency, do you need to go to the morgue now?" Priest Dulk asked.

"Later."

Fanning walked around the square for a minute, then squatted down at a cracked masonry.

Melted plastic and rubber with traces of gunpowder, deformed cement and steel bars, and several large and small pieces of metal shrapnel, all kinds of messy residues were dragged by Fan Ning one after another to float and observe.

"If the 'mortuary' and the 'free clinic' are both a convenient platform to screen a large number of 'worm hosts', then what is the meaning of 'bombing'?"

"Similar to some kind of intermediary behavior in the 'Corpse Ring' ceremony found in Hester's apartment last time?"

In the rear, Ms. Hermosa, whose overall strength was even higher than Fanning's, was also watching Fanning's movements.

However, this triple comprehension expert who studies "Yan" may not necessarily be stronger than Fan Ning, who created his own key to contain the "candle" gnosis, in terms of the ability to simply sense the "spiritual perception" of transcendental things.

From the beginning to the end, Hermosa didn't see anything unusual, but it was Fanning who was squatting down, his whole expression fell into a deep "ambiguity".

After a while, he moved around, leaving several flame footprints, and stood on the bricks of the clock tower on the side of the square.

Then, everyone saw the priest from a distance, and slowly took out a golden light quality "brick".

It's actually a mobile phone disguised as the wreckage of "The Fountain in the Picture".

From this relatively high angle of view, you can see a relatively wide bombed neighborhood in the north. Fan Ning turned on the camera function and took a few photos. The cannon craters, sculptures with missing arms and legs, scorched flowers and trees
As he browsed, Fanning's brows gradually furrowed.

These photos look good directly, but when the partial photos are pulled again with fingers and zoomed in to the limit.
He found that there was a visually strange place from time to time.

how to say?

The clusters of different things and the "pixels" under the light and shadow seem to have been wiped and messed up. The black block of the tree trunk entered the silver block of the sculpture, and the bloody red point seeped into another perspective position On the white wall, the gray and brown of the gun pits mixed with the bright yellow of the gas lamp.
In the blink of an eye Fanning thought of something else.

In the Hester Priest's apartment, the "wormology notes" melted into the glass coffee table!
The extremely weird bottle of "sneaky water" that Mr. Wax took out when he started to investigate himself!
Yes, these things are indeed too similar.

All present a strange effect of inversion, confusion, mixed ingredients, and visual discomfort.

"The saint said that 'Water of Sneaky' is an extremely rare high-level mysterious substance, which can be regarded as the brilliant spiritual liquid of the phase of 'Secret History', so, is there some kind of secret history in the 'Notes on Wormology'?" ? These esoteric believers also mixed some substances related to the secret history into the shells of the soldiers who normally obeyed orders?"

In this way, it can explain why, when neither I nor Ms. Hermosa can notice the obvious abnormality, this mobile phone camera, which contains the power of secret history, can capture its heterogeneous light and shadow.

Then this mysterious substance covered and settled everywhere with the bombing of the air raid, what unknown impact will it cause?

Fanning descended back to the square while thinking, and said kindly to Colonel Alpha:

"Let me show you the way to the morgue."

"Yes." The officer listened loudly.

"Mr. Priest, can we also go and see the situation?" Roy tried to ask.

She felt that the matter involving the Academy of God's Descendants might be related to the abnormal area that she wanted to know more about.

Fanning almost subconsciously agreed, but thinking of the secretive "worm", even with Ms. Hermosa as his escort, he still rejected this suggestion that might bring her danger:

"I'm sorry, Miss Roy, the peace bestowed by the Lord must also be upon the honored guests, and there is no room for neglect."

Why does my father take care of me, Mr. Fanning takes care of me, and Father Lavoisier also takes care of me.Seeing the backs of Fanning, Priest Durk and Colonel Alpha leaving, Roy, who was standing there, muttered something in his heart.

But she immediately made psychological preparations. In the hidden place under other people's churches, she was a foreigner and non-believer who came to visit. It seemed a bit impolite to follow the past rashly.

"Admiral Laniute, do you know each other?"

Halfway on the way to the morgue, Fanning suddenly asked the two people on the left and the right.

"Of course." Priest Durke nodded, "There are more than a hundred Janus priests, and the current generals are only seven, which is slightly close to the number of bishops in the Western Continent. The bishop or the deputy judge is so respected, but in terms of administrative level alone, it is still much higher than the subordinates."

"Admiral Laniute is my boss." Colonel Alpha also said, "He is directly on the front line of the conflict in the Appile theater, and is also responsible for contacting Puntua County behind the dispatch. He is Marshal Enukem's right-hand man."

"Oh, that's very nice."

Fanning began again to fumble in the inside pocket of his coat.

The two thought of the bishop's rumored deeds, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

It's time to come.

Fanning produced a pamphlet.

And turned to the page with the name of the boss of Brigadier General Bolls who had been vigilant and repentant—that is, the boss of Colonel Alpha next to him—"Admiral Laniute", and continued to gently ask the two of them:

"Since Admiral Lan Newt has been pulled from the list, and now he is in his territory, and there is another day left, why don't you see him come to me with a booklet of offenses and confess?"
