The Secret Code of Monsters

Chapter 53 Ch.53 About cultists

There was obviously something behind this attack, and you could tell by the look on Fernandez's face.

That's something he shouldn't ask.

So Roland changed the subject: "I heard him mention a word, Fernandez. He said 'mother', do you know what it means?"

Fernandez's expression obviously relaxed a lot:

"That's the Ninth Crowned God, Roland. I originally wanted to wait until you enter the ring to tell you all at once. Now I see, I have to advance. If you are so 'lucky', you might encounter something else one day. A big deal."

Fernandez raised two fingers:

"There are only two types of people we call cultists."

"There are only two ways you can do it directly - the prerequisite is that you have to make sure that he is and cannot hurt a 'valuable' person."

"The first type: those who believe in the Ninth Crown "Mother", the God of Desires, the Creator of Flesh and Blood, the Mother of Deformation and Sanctification, and the Bottomless Lake of Red Tide, and those who embark on its path or join its organization's ritual...that's me What I just told you: the cradle of flesh and blood. "

"The second type: those who believe in the tenth crown "Plague", the Death Curse of Disease, the Veil of Swelling, and the Son of Pus, and who step on its path or join the rituals of its organization, they call themselves "Black Ones". "

Fernandez said: "Except for xenomorphs and certain extremely high-risk special cases, the cultists that the Inquisition targets - it's actually just the ritualists of these two organizations, and..."

"Mortals and apprentices who believe in them."

"We have one purpose: to kill them."

To be honest, if he hadn't been too familiar with the 'color' exposed by the ritualist, Roland would have actually considered testing it with his fist first.

"Unfortunately, we don't have a better and more accurate way to identify them before they show their strength. This is also the biggest problem that troubles us."

"Executives mostly rely on their own 'experience' for their actions - but you also know that some experiences are difficult to replicate. After all, everyone's experience is different, and you can't even tell what 'feeling' means. "

When it comes to these crooked cultists and the gods they serve, Fernandez is also filled with helplessness:

"I have no intention of criticizing the gods of eternal sleep, and I am willing to honor them with crowns. But mortal matters are decided by mortals: these two roads are too cruel and terrifying. They can enjoy their eternal sleep, but the Inquisition does not allow any Mortals tread those roads.”

"You have seen their rituals, Roland."

"That's not a normal ceremony."

Of course Roland agreed.

After all, his experience with Miss Nina already meant that he was naturally on the opposite side of these people.

However, there was one thing he was curious about.

"His powers are weird, Fernandez."

Roland described the battle between himself and the cultist in detail: "Can a first-ring ritualist have such a special power?"

As long as the attack is detected, it will never be killed?

This is just one step.

"No, of course not." Fernandez seemed to have the answer already, "There should be a high-ring ritualist from the Cradle of Flesh who transformed the body of that bastard..."

"You should be grateful for your good fortune."

Roland was surprised: "This is good luck."

"Yes, quite a bit of good luck." Fernandez said with a face: "If we encountered another second ring that day...do you know what the consequences would be? You wouldn't be able to wait for our support at all."

"The two great roads of the Ring of Eternal Silence are not good at fighting in the low ring period. What's more, you are facing a lunatic who has been transformed and is delirious."

"You should be grateful for your good fortune."

Fernandez told Roland that the so-called 'all mortals below the tenth ring' refers to a battle between two ritualists - at the very least, both people must be ritualists.

There are absolutely no arrogant apprentices here.

Roland said that he would be well-behaved in the future.

Fernandez said he didn't believe a word of it.

but.

Ring of Eternal Silence…

What kind of organization is this?

“The Silent Mouth, the Silent Pendulum, have you ever heard of it?”

The silent mouth…

Roland frowned in thought.

etc…

"You saw it when you were riding in the carriage."

"Cemetery?"

"Yes, the cemeteries on this land and any property involving the 'dead', including the bone collectors everywhere - all belong to the Ring of Eternal Silence."

Roland:......

-

Sounds so rich.

"Nothing compared to the Holy Cross."

-

That's true.

"Who doesn't die? The more disasters there are, the more money they make." Fernandez shrugged: "They have two paths: "Dry Bones" and "Elegy"... Well, the phalanx that Lady Enid gave you before is just It belongs to "Elegy", but you seem to be..."

He suddenly realized that he had made a mistake and said no more.

"…With the exception of peripheral members and apprentices within the Circle of Silence, most formal ritualists serve in the Inspection Bureau, although certainly not all."

"Holy Cross, Ring of Eternal Silence."

"One is a coercion during life, and the other is a monopoly after death."

"You are so lucky... Do you know what a huge organization you have joined?"

-

I know.

"There is also a big kissing bat..."

-

When can you show some respect to Ms. Enid.

"Who makes her look at you like that all the time? I just can't help it."

-

What kind of look?

"Um…"

"For example, if she is a dog, you are shit——"

-

You are the shit.

Roland blocked him.

"During this period, you should take good care of your injuries and think about your future."

Fernandez was referring to the great road that Roland had sensed.

The great road...

Roland's temples ached when he mentioned it.

"Also, Roland, you have to pay attention." Fernandez patted his butt and stood up, instructing the boy on the bed: "Some things have nothing to do with us and are not within the scope of the Inquisition's responsibilities."

"As long as it does not involve aliens, cultists, and apostates..."

"Our power is not as good as the police in Scotland Yard."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Even if the Inquisition wanted to, there was no reason to intervene in the secular struggle.

On the contrary.

The Inquisition would have a lot to say.

"...Is that so?"

"Yes."

Fernandez was very happy that Roland could understand the hint in his words.

People should be clear about the boundaries of different powers.

The boundaries of the Inquisition are aliens, cults, heretics, high-risk cases that require the entire Holy Cross to take action, and... rare apostates.

The rest of the disputes...

have nothing to do with them.

They are not qualified to intervene.

"If this time it was not an attack by cultists, your previous behavior would have caused trouble for yourself. The Supervisory Bureau, the Public Security Bureau, including those rich people and nobles, will sue you-because the way you handled it has caused more people to be hurt."

"We are not detectives from the Supervisory Bureau. Compared to them, we are more like the guards who protect the throne of the Father of All Things."

Fernandez is reminding and warning.

He is not fooled.

In the past, he could still be deceived by this pretty face and gentle tone.

Now it seems that this is just a violent person who fights at the slightest disagreement, just like Lady Enid...

He feels it is necessary to explain the pros and cons to him now, immediately.

"Believe me, you definitely don't want to be entangled by those vultures of the Supervisory Bureau."

"Once you are accused of extraordinary crimes, even I can't protect you. The Supervisory Bureau has been deadlocked with the Tribunal for so long, you should be able to guess that they have power and strength comparable to ours."

Roland always felt that there were some contradictory knots in what Fernandez said.

But he was also very strangely clear about how to untie these knots.

That is the survival law of the children in the workhouse.

"Power."

-

Yes, wrench.

-

Miss Nina has a story that also tells this truth.

-

She is so smart.

"I hope you can praise me like you praise her."

-

I hope you don't have this hope.

"In short, you did a good job this time, but don't be so reckless in the future. Your future should not be wasted on those bastards."

Fernandez felt tired when he saw the boy posing in a well-behaved manner.

This child is not as well-behaved as he looks.

Like Lady Enid, he is somewhat rebellious and crazy in his bones.

"It's my fault, Fernandez, I promise I won't do it again... But I just don't understand, what's so attractive about those disgusting rituals? Bloody pieces of meat and intestines, wriggling nematodes and brains..."

"Don't they feel disgusted?"

Not really.

Fernandez shook his head secretly in his heart.

Because the ritualists will move closer to the road and the rules.

Even higher ones will move closer to the gods.

Not only will their souls fall powder, but their thinking will also gradually twist as they climb.

For example, the ritualists of the Holy Flame Road: in addition to the increasingly weakened "mercy" with each ring, they will become more inclined to the holy flame at the end of the road that symbolizes judgment...

Judgment.

No mercy.

Cruel and ruthless.

Twisted and extreme, whether in emotions, thoughts or souls.

Roland has not yet embarked on the road to greatness.

It's not time to face this problem.

This is probably why Enid was reluctant to tell Roland about the spirit servants in detail.

People who go too far and get too close to the end...

They are likely to become part of the code.

They practice the code and draw powerful strength from it; at the same time, they must always be vigilant against being assimilated, and use their own means to maintain the "self" that is as weak as a candlelight at night...

Contradictory and painful.

This is not an easy thing.

Roland.

I hope that the unknown road you have found will not make you too painful in the future.
