The Secret Code of Monsters

Chapter 273 Ch.272 Follow-up

"I thought you wouldn't come in person."

There was an extra chair in the room.

A strong man who thought he was very handsome moved in (according to him, the chair was his, but he didn't want to sit on it now, saying that he would give it to someone who "needed it").

Enid smoothed her skirt and sat down beside Roland's bed.

She glanced at the thick sheets piled on her lower abdomen.

"Maybe tens of thousands of people died, Roland, do you know how serious this is?" Enid flicked her fingers and lit the candle in the corner: "Tens of thousands of people died, and you might get hurt, so of course I have to come."

"Just mentally." Roland rubbed his face, indicating that there was nothing wrong with his body. "How are Fernandez and Cinder?"

"Hmm..." Enid tilted her face slightly: "They should be fine..."

Roland: ...

"We have found the reason why the executives were transferred."

"I have traveled all the way to Bristol, and I am only worried that you...you are injured-Roland." Enid's bland words clearly showed that she didn't want to hear Roland mention the people outside the plan.

"The evil bat used the host."

"Then how should Roland deal with it?"

-

Why is she speaking so stiffly.

"You are also stiff."

"I almost got into trouble, just a little bit." Roland folded up the shirt covered with blood spots, let him see his arm and the back of his hand, and turned it over and over: "I'm fine, Enid, I've always been lucky."

But Enid was not happy why they didn't change Roland's clothes.

"You're just allowed to rest in this bloody dress? Can't you find any clothes in the whole of Bristol?"

She drooped her face, reciting the names of 'Ring of Eternal Silence' and 'Maelstrom' as if someone owed her something, while opening the leather paper bag and pinching out a piece of sponge cake:

Two soft slices, upper and lower, with plum jam, thick cream and some chopped nuts in the middle.

The bright red juice flowed through her fingers.

"I came in a hurry, I got it from my friend, her pastry chef is very good."

"Try it quickly, Roland."

"Does she have friends?"

Roland looked at the fingers stained with rose juice, and watched her hold it in one hand and pinch it in the other hand, and handed the cake over.

--It's a very wonderful food in terms of taste.

But it's just too sweet.

A small piece is enough.

"Is the price of plum jam cheaper recently?"

Enid laughed.

She fed Roland mouthful by mouthful, watching him puff up his cheeks.

She wiped the red sauce from the corner of his mouth with her finger, and then put it back into her mouth and rolled it up.

These were not meant to be ambiguous, as if they were all subconscious actions that were taken for granted.

"Eat more. You have nothing else to swallow before tomorrow."

These surviving ritualists had to go through a series of interrogations.

Repeatedly, from various angles, and from different sects.

"Not only because too many people died. The ritualists of the Justice Sect found the body of an ancient angel in the outer city... This is more troublesome than the death of tens of thousands of people."

Enid stuffed the last small piece to Roland and wiped the corner of the cat's mouth with her thumb.

The death of tens of thousands of people would not make the ritualists feel anything special.

——The families of the deceased should suffer, and the rulers of this country should be embarrassed.

Ritualists?

They care more about the "ancient angel" that has not appeared for many years, how to distribute its body full of treasures, and the reason why this angel appeared.

"They interrogate the surviving citizens."

Enid said casually.

Roland's heart moved.

If the "Holy Marrow" is exposed, then David Cromwell can no longer hide.

The Holy Cross should be held responsible for this incident and for the tens of thousands of citizens who died.

"Although there is no clear result yet, it does not affect the judgment of the adults," Enid didn't know what Roland was thinking, and looked at him with a light face: "It was done by the cultists."

Roland was stunned: "Cultists?"

"Yes." Enid crumpled the paper bag into a ball and lit it in her hand: "Several cultists bewitched the citizens and spread an evil item called "Holy Marrow" in Bristol. "

"This thing will drive people crazy."

"It is also the culprit that caused the whole thing."

"In order to stop this group of cultists, many people have sacrificed their lives. "

"For example, the ritualists of the Ring of Eternal Silence and the Church of Justice, such as David Cromwell of the Holy Cross, and Carlotta of the Great Whirlpool. "

Enid told Roland a joke, although Roland didn't find it funny at all.

"These evil people in the Cradle of Flesh and Blood tried to deceive the citizens with the name of "Holy Marrow" and waved the banner of the Holy Cross..." Enid raised her eyebrows: "But it has nothing to do with the Holy Cross."

Even if it did, what would happen?

"If it really involves the Holy Cross, it means that David Cromwell was bewitched by the cultists, right?" Roland sighed and whispered, "It has nothing to do with the Holy Cross. He is just an apostate who has turned away from the Lord, a heretic. He can't represent the Holy Cross or the Lord."

Enid's eyes were full of admiration: "That's right, Roland. If it really involves the Holy Cross, we can only say... David Cromwell is no longer the head pastor. Oh, the transfer order is in his drawer... or somewhere else."

She told Roland about the secular way of dealing with it.

These surviving citizens will be visited one by one by detectives, consultants from the Supervisory Bureau, or executive officers of the Tribunal.

If they have nothing to do with the "Holy Essence", and no one in their family has taken it, and become those many-legged monsters - then they can stay out of it without paying extra money.

"If I heard you right, you said 'pay'?"

Roland pulled the sheets, looking surprised.

Enid rubbed the back of his hand and explained softly: "It is precisely because those citizens believed in the cultists and took the alienated "holy marrow" that it led to the chaos in Bristol - if it hadn't been for them, Ancient angels may not die either. "

"The upper echelons of Holy Cross firmly believe that the shadow of an angel crossing the sky over Bristol is an early warning of this matter."

"So, they are responsible for this."

Enid said.

"The person who personally took the holy marrow is already dead. If he has family members - whether it is a wife, brothers, sisters or children, a certain amount of money must be given to those innocent citizens."

"To a certain extent, they are considered accomplices of the cultists... It is normal for them to spend some money to atone for their sins."

This is how it's handled.

of Holy Cross.

"Do other denominations agree?"

Enid asked, "As long as I don't have to pay, Roland, why should I reject your offer? Right?"

That makes sense.

Roland thought for a while: "Kiss me."

Enid:…

Ten seconds later.

"You always like to talk about serious things when you are joking, and when it is time to talk about serious things, you always joke." Enid licked her plump lips, and the emotions in her eyes melted into spring streams: "I miss you very much."

"Then citizens——"

"Roland!"

"...I miss you too, Enid."
