Invincible priest, out of the courtroom

After listening to Weier's explanation, Luo Xia nodded and subconsciously said:

"So once you feel outside..."

Before he finished speaking, he stopped abruptly, then coughed twice, and forcibly changed the topic:

"Ahem, forget it, let's continue talking about this patient."

The eyes under the Metis goggles showed that kind of playful look, but he didn't bring the topic to Rorschach, but continued to talk about the girl.

"Actually, she had already exhibited similar symptoms before she came here. According to her father, she has been obsessed with all kinds of pop culture, music, clothing, movies, and entertainment. She has been completely addicted to it. Among them, it is difficult to extricate oneself, once contact is not allowed, it will show a strong withdrawal reaction..."

"However, it took two days for her to deteriorate to this point... She was confiscated by a fashion magazine by the teacher during class, and then violently hurt others, injuring the teacher, classmates, and school security. More than [-] men, smashed down three walls, and fled all the way back home..."

"After his father found out about the situation, he finally made up his mind to send her to us, so he tricked her into coming here with the excuse of increasing pocket money and taking her to a concert, and then we dispatched five nurses and three Doctors got it under control..."

Having said this, Metis closed the case in his hand, led Rorschach and Weier to the next ward, and continued:

"These days, we have received a total of five patients like this. The specific details of the pathological manifestations are different. Some are abnormal withdrawal reactions like hers; some are sudden delusions and split personalities..."

"And what they have in common is that they were originally only some very mild symptoms, not even considered illnesses, but these two days suddenly aggravated sharply, and they were accompanied by other strange reactions..."

While speaking, she opened another ward.

Inside lay a mummy-like person, whose whole body was wrapped in gauze, and was also tightly tied to the bed by a straitjacket and a belt, in a coma.

"We gave him a deep anesthesia. If not, he would take a bath as soon as he woke up, and scrub his skin vigorously until his skin was ripped apart, bloody and bloody..."

"But the relatives who sent him here said that his mental state had been normal before, but he was used to bathing and cleaning the room every day, and he paid attention to personal hygiene. This is not even a cleanliness..."

Metis continued to take Rorschach and Weier to check on the remaining three patients. They were basically in a similar situation. Some of their usual habits and hobbies were suddenly magnified to a morbid level, and they completely lost their senses. Demonstrated extreme aggression.

At the same time, it was also accompanied by other abnormal symptoms such as infinite strength, no pain, twisted limbs, etc.

After checking all the patients, Metis continued:

"As for the symptoms of 'necrosis' and 'weakness' that you mentioned to me yesterday, Weier, I have also screened them out. We definitely don't have them here. I'm afraid you have to go to the church to find them..."

"Okay, the situation is probably like this, let's go back to my office and continue."

The three of them took the elevator to the tenth floor above the ground, and then walked into a messy office.

There are piles of documents packed here, and there are some convenience food and canned food boxes in the middle, and some women's intimate clothes and cosmetics are even stuffed inside...

But Metis looked as if he was going home. First, he had a big lazy waist, and then reached out and took off the beak mask on his head, revealing the face underneath.

It was an immature and lovely face, with an unbelievably high appearance. If you only look at the facial features, it does not appear to be a few years older than Lorexy, but it also has a mature and charming temperament, exuding a certain contradiction Charm.

There was a particularly eye-catching emerald green long hair with slight waves, which made Luo Xia couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Metis was keenly aware of his gaze, so he showed an evil smile and asked:

"What's the matter? Didn't you expect me to be so young and so beautiful?"

"Uh... this is indeed a little unexpected..."

Luo Xia quickly looked away, and replied with some embarrassment.

But Metis didn't intend to let him go, and continued to ask:

"Eh? Then do you think I'm prettier or Val is prettier?"

In the end, before Luo Xia could answer, Wei Er who was next to him was about to jump up and bite someone.

"Senior sister! Woo... I will really get angry!"

As she spoke, she also took off her mask, revealing a fierce look.

But Metis was fearless and continued to say:

"Hee hee, are you angry with me because of a man? Wei Er, you really have changed, you are no longer the old you..."

"Hey... I said, can we continue to talk about the illness..."

Luo Xia persuaded with a helpless face, and took off the mask.

Metis looked at Rorschach carefully, and was not surprised by his appearance, as if he knew what he looked like a long time ago, so he picked up a report from the table and asked:

"So...anyone want to hear about any other clues I've found in these five patients?"

=======

Sigh... Looking at the performance data these days, it's really a bit of a defense...

Hunting Saints: Chapter 331 328. Knock on the forehead and answer you

As soon as Metis said this, Rorschach and Weier immediately became serious. They sat down on a nearby sofa piled with various women's clothes, straightened their waists, and stood shoulder to shoulder.

As a result, Metis laughed out loud when he saw the two of them like this:

"The two of you look so much like the young couple who came to see me for treatment... Alas, don't stare at me! Really... Both of you are so fierce..."

After she insisted on making a joke, she began to say seriously:

"Although these five patients are of different ages, genders, occupations, and personalities, and their specific illnesses are quite different, I found some commonalities after a brief look..."

"First of all, their inspiration is very high. To be precise, it should be that their talents in this area are very good. Once they carry out systematic enlightenment and learning of extraordinary, they are all good seedlings of extraordinary people."

"Secondly, I didn't find the cause of the disease in them. They are not congenital patients, and there is no family history of genetic diseases. Everyone's life and work are also very good, and there is no objective factor for sudden illness..."

"Although some of them are crazy about fashion, some pay special attention to personal hygiene, and some don't have a good private life, but this is too common in the city, and there are countless people with the same habits and hobbies. The reason for their sudden illness."

"In the end, they are all unbelievers, pure unbelievers, and superficial believers. They haven't even joined those new entertainment sects, and they have hardly participated in religious-related activities. According to their relatives, They're not interested in religion at all, and they're very repulsive."

After hearing the last item, Rorschach and Weier looked at each other at the same time, and saw the same thought in each other's eyes:

In this city, there are actually such unbelievers in the true sense?

And Metis also smiled, and said:

"It seems that you are also very surprised? I was the same at the beginning. I didn't expect that there would be people who didn't touch religion at all in this city... You know, even Weier and I went to college in our teens. , people who have been in contact with the mystical and supernatural fields very early, and also joined an entertainment sect during college..."

"And some people, even if they don't believe in any denomination, will still participate in some religious celebrations to join in the fun. This is also the norm for citizens. It is really rare for people who really have no contact with them at all."

Listening to what he said, Rorschach kept nodding his head.

Just like what she said, even if some people really don't believe it, they will still join in the fun, just like the "temple fair" on the earth, where there are so many people at the scene, how many people really believe it?

What's more, the city of oracle is a city with such a strong religious atmosphere. Under the fierce competition, it will be very difficult to completely avoid these things.

Luo Xia was thinking about it, and then heard Weier ask:

"So, senior sister, do you think the main reason for their illness is that they have not been exposed to religion?"

"I didn't say that!"

Metis shook his head again and again.

"I just briefly summed up what they have in common for you. As for the real reason for their illness... Based on my experience, I'm afraid it's the most mainstream reason, right?"

She doesn't need to explain in detail, Rorschach and Weier can also understand what the 'most mainstream reason' is.

See what you shouldn't see, hear what you shouldn't hear...

Especially these five patients are still very talented in inspiration, so it is easier to come into contact with those that ordinary people should not come into contact with...

But Metis immediately overturned his conclusion:

"However...the reason why these five cases were reported to your secret sect is that in addition to mental abnormalities, there were also unexplainable abnormal phenomena in their physiology. They suddenly became infinitely powerful, suddenly became unconscious It hurts like this..."

"It makes me wonder if they're not purely mental illnesses, but some other influence?"

Rorschach nodded and replied:

"Indeed, they are likely to be exposed to some kind of powerful curse."

"Hehe, I also thought of the reason for this, otherwise I wouldn't have contacted you... It's a pity that I'm not very good at cursing. This should be the domain of your priests, right?"

While talking, Metis lay lazily on his desk, supported his petite body with his elbows, posed a very provocative pose, and finally asked in that extraordinarily charming tone road:

"Pastor Rorschach, can you give me a good talk?"

"Uh... this is..."

Luo Xia didn't really appreciate her beauty, but showed a little embarrassed expression, then took out the scripture from his hand, and continued to talk about business:

"Yes, yes, but you have to wait a little longer..."

After that, he knocked on his forehead with the scripture, and then started to read it.

After flipping through for a few minutes, he opened his mouth and answered:

"The state of the five patients does not seem like a curse in the usual sense..."

"Common curses require specific media, specific channels, and specific rituals to be planted and take effect, and produce specific effects, such as weakness, loss of five senses, bad luck, madness, etc..."

"But this type of effect is fixed. If the curse of 'weakness' is applied, then the effect of 'weakness' will be produced. There will be no madness and bad luck, and it will not become infinitely powerful and painless..."

"There is only a very special curse that can achieve a similar situation, and that is the curse from the witch..."

"The mistress of the witch publicizes the evil god who is in charge of the curse field. The witches born by him can plant more evil and terrifying curses. They are no longer restricted by media and rituals, and are no longer solidified by specific effects... "

"Maybe it will make people die suddenly, or they may die after being tortured, or they may have unique powers and alienate them into witches..."

"So the witch was born because of the curse, and will continue to spread the curse, causing more terrible and unknown disasters..."

What Rorschach read out was all recorded in the scriptures.

In other words, it was some knowledge he had received.

Probably some insignificant knowledge gained when the cursed witch was executed in the trial office?

It was also because it was irrelevant that he forgot it, and he had to knock on his forehead with the scriptures to recall it.

As a mature priest, it is best not to store too much useless knowledge in your mind.

This is a great lesson he has learned from the previous archbishop.

Hunting the Saints: Chapter 332 329. Two different curses

In this world, having too much knowledge in your head often does not bring about any good things...

Especially for Rorschach, during the 50 years in the courthouse, he has been exposed to too many messy things...

So generally speaking, unless it is necessary, Rorschach will not knock his head with the scriptures, that is, he made up his mind to deal with this matter last night, and today he will go back to check the knowledge from that year.

After he finished reading the scriptures, he looked up and found that Val had somehow escaped from his side and went to Metis' side.

And Metis didn't insist on the previous provocative posture, but shrank behind the desk, just like Weier, only showing a pair of eyes, carefully sizing up Rorschach.

"Are you performing some kind of performance art?"

Luo Xia couldn't help but complain.

"Do you know that you looked scary just now?"

Metis shot back, and then slowly leaned out from behind the table, with a look of undecided shock on his face, a little pale, and continued to say with reluctance:

"Suddenly emitted such a terrifying fluctuation of power, as if it was about to eat people, can't you behave more gracefully in front of the lady?"

Fortunately, Weier still protected Rorschach, so he helped mediate and said:

"Sister, sometimes he does suddenly become very fierce, but he won't hurt us..."

Then, he looked at Luo Xia eagerly, and said:

"Rorschach, you were really fierce and scary before, don't be like this suddenly in the future, okay?"

The reaction of the two reminded Rorschach of a memory of getting along with Deltina before. She also said similar things at that time...

That was a few months ago. When the two were investigating the grave digging case in the cemetery, Rorschach asked some clues from the half-gentleman and Mr. Brainless, and then knocked himself on the forehead with the scripture...

Anyway, Deltina was scared enough at that time...

Probably because after knocking on his forehead, it is easy to lose control of the holy power in the body, right?

Therefore, it is better to use the scriptures to knock on other people's foreheads, and don't knock on your own if you have nothing to do.

"Ahem, well, I will pay attention to it in the future, so let's get back to the topic first..."

Luo Xia coughed twice in embarrassment, and forcibly changed the topic back:

"In short, I think these people should have suffered from the curse of the witch, so the situation is so weird..."

"And their talent in inspiration made them aware of something behind this curse, but it was rooted in the curse of an evil god after all, so it's not surprising that they would fall into madness..."
