Shadow Apostle

In the Bernt family's villa, I encountered the Invisible Son.

Encountered the Crypt Worm in the escape tunnel of the Burnt family mansion.

In the abandoned sewers beneath Viscount Star, I encountered the human-faced rat Wormis.

From the Burnt's house, to the Star house, and then throughout the sewers.

All the experiences of the past few days flashed before Horst's eyes.

However, are these mysterious aliens actually related?

Are they all connected by a terrifying mystery sleeping deep in the consciousness?

So what about the events behind them?

Could it be isolated?

Don't be kidding, coincidence is not this kind of trick.

Horst's face was tense, and he felt as if he had been caught in a trap from the very beginning.

And above the net, an invisible hand was gently stirring the outline of the net.

"Mr. Horst," Mrs. K asked thoughtfully, "Do you know something about these three things?"

"Let me ask you a question, Mr. Director." Horst asked, "Believers of the God of Theft and Conspiracy, how complicated are their plots?"

Mrs. K's kind smile that had been on her face all year round suddenly disappeared, and she frowned and said: "The headquarters of this church is in the Human Empire, and it rarely operates in Nordland. Those in Nordland are usually low-level believers, and they don't have much." Action, so I don't know much about them.

Horst nodded.

"But as far as I know, the followers of the Lord of Deception don't actually have too complicated a conspiracy. Their conspiracies vary from big to small, and are very confusing, making it difficult for people to guard against. Why, do you think this matter has something to do with them? ?”

"right."

Mrs. K thought silently for a while, nodded slightly, and smiled again: "Come in first, Mr. Horst, someone is waiting for your investigation results."

With that said, the old lady turned her wheelchair and slid towards the Cathedral of Justice.

Monica nodded to Horst and quickly followed, holding the armrests of the wheelchair and pushing Mrs. K forward.

What conspiracy does this old vampire have?

Horst looked at Mrs. K's back with some hesitation, but finally followed her.

This is the first time Horst has entered a city church.

I have visited branch churches in various neighborhoods.

Communion was distributed there to eat.

As soon as you enter the church, there are two statues of gods holding high scales and war hammers on the left and right.

The scales symbolize fair judgment, and the hammer symbolizes upright sanctions.

The power of the Lord of Justice is mostly related to the law. Therefore, even if most countries do not regard the Lord of Justice as an official belief, the security and judicial institutions will worship the Lord of Justice to show their fairness and integrity.

Passing through the two huge statues, Horst felt only solemnity and solemnity in his heart.

Behind the statue is a long white jade corridor.

On both sides of the corridor, a few meters apart stood a priest in black robes. The corridor extended all the way inward, leading to the chapel in the middle of the church.

Instead of walking towards the chapel, he turned into a side road.

It's a slope that slopes downward.

The ramp spirals downwards all the way to the end of the line of sight.

Carved walls, soaring roofs.

Every few meters on the roof, there is a transparent glass ball embedded in it.

Crystal clear and pure.

It symbolizes that justice is as crystal clear and innocent as it is.

Evil does not invade.

Mrs. K made a follow-me sign and was pushed down the ramp by Monica.

The ramp was silent, with only the sound of the wheelchair echoing.

On both sides are painted the image of Hamath, the lord of justice, all of which tell the story of him holding a war hammer to punish sinners.

Going down the ramp, Horst seemed to have an illusion in his mind that the whole world was empty, and only his group was left walking among the majestic and burly images.

The solemn and solemn atmosphere made everyone instinctively shut up, but as it gradually deepened...

"boom."

A glass ball embedded in the roof suddenly exploded without warning. The glass was shattered into pieces and fell like fine snow.

The explosion was loud and clear, like thunder in a quiet environment.

The three people stopped instinctively, looked up, and then looked around.

Nothing happens, everything is normal.

"The quality of the church's items is so poor. They must have been bought from the Jiji people who set up stalls in the square."

Horst said in a low voice, seemingly joking, that the Jiji people are an indigenous people from the Newland continent. They are known for their cunning and cunning. There are several Jiji people in Justice Square, selling inferior goods, and many people have visited it. Their fault.

"That's not an ordinary glass ball, it's flawless crystal." Mrs. K explained, "It's a very beautiful decorative material, and it's pure in nature, making it impossible for evil people to hide."

"Your sense of humor is truly admirable."

The corners of Horst's mouth twitched. Although he knew that the old fox was joking, the guy hiding in his stomach made him unable to laugh.

"It is indeed called the Flawless Crystal, and it is indeed said to have the ability to detect evil." Mrs. K said with a smile, "But no one has ever seen it detect evil. It is just used as an ordinary decorative material, but Maybe you are the first person to be detected by a crystal in thousands of years."

The teasing was teasing. The three of them looked at each other to make sure nothing happened. K nodded towards them and the three of them moved forward again.

After passing several glass balls in succession, the glass balls were always intact.

Horst breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed like it was just a false alarm, just a few pieces of glass. How could it be detected...

"boom."

There was another crisp sound, and a glass ball exploded to pieces.

The expressions of the three of them all darkened, and at the same time, noisy running and shouting sounded from behind.

"just in front."

"Follow him and catch him."

"Don't let him get away."

While they were talking, four people wearing priest robes caught up from behind and rushed towards the three of them.

Then he passed by the three of them, staring at the ceiling, and ran all the way down.

"What are you catching?" Horst took the opportunity to ask loudly.

"Ivo, the cat owned by His Excellency the Bishop, ran up to the ceiling of the roof."

The priests responded subconsciously, and then pursued them noisily.

Horst and Monica looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

Pushing Mrs. K. continued downhill. This time it was calm and all the flawless crystals were intact.

It seems that the cat just broke the glass ball, it was just an accident.

However, there was always a hint of uneasiness in Horst's heart.

In the mysterious world, we often only look at the effects, not the causes.

The crystal shattered. From a realistic point of view, perhaps the naughty cat destroyed the crystal ball in some unknown way.

But from a mysterious perspective, the shattering of the crystal means that the detection effect has been produced.

It doesn't matter how this effect causes itself to fragment.

Whether it's a cat or a mouse, even if Monica jumps up and breaks it, it's just a difference in the mysterious way, and it won't change the result of the crystal breaking.

So, is there really evil inside me?

Horst touched his belly and sighed secretly.

Just when he was thinking wildly in his mind, Monica suddenly stopped pushing K.

It's the end.

There is a secret door beside you.

Monica took Mrs. K's place and pushed open the door.

Inside is an open room, decorated like a conference room.

Several people were sitting inside and turned around when they heard the door.

Horst was sure that almost none of them knew him. There was only one person who looked familiar and he had met him several times before.

The cloaked man who escorted B-235 never showed up.

Why is this person here? The identities of people from their headquarters shouldn't appear here.

As he was wondering, Mrs. K patted his arm and motioned for him to follow her.
