Tianjin people will never lose SAN

Chapter 167: Lawyer Borrows Light
In the dark night, on a country road in Frost, a carriage was galloping forward.

The driver was still Haverson, but there were two more people in the carriage besides Roselis, one was the unlucky lawyer Barlow, and the other was the village chief.

"How do we go from here?" Haversian, the driver, asked the village chief as he pulled the vehicle over.

"Your Excellency the Inquisitor, I remember that the fork in the road near the windmill is to the left."

The lawyer answered. Although he was physically weak, his mental state was very stable. He finally saw his relatives. That day he escaped from the barn and crawled into the village.

In fact, before coming to the monastery, the lawyer had seen these country people in the carriage and felt that there was something strange about them. If he had any other choice, he would never go to the village.

But the situation that day was too urgent. After escaping from the barn, the lawyer was scared silly. He had never seen such a thing in New New Brunswick before, so he knocked on the door of the village chief without thinking twice.

What happened afterwards... was a natural progression.

The village chief's family are skilled in this field. They provide a one-stop service from robbing people for money, stripping them of their clothes, and tying them up for sacrifice. If the two little geniuses hadn't gotten lost today, he would have probably been burnt to a crisp by now.

Although the old village chief in the carriage looked listless, his eyes showed no sign of weakness. He remained silent when Roselis asked him questions, because he already knew the identities of the brother and sister.

The Inquisitor from the Holy See, that's terrible. Although he is not a believer of the Holy Maiden Sect, he still knows the reputation of the Inquisitor. If his actions today fall into their hands, he will have two choices: either take him to the Inquisition in New Newrent for execution, or send him back to the Holy See for execution.

There is death inside and outside, so what is there to be afraid of? The old man stared at Roselis in the carriage, wishing he could bite a piece of her flesh off.

Roselis looked calm as usual. She and her brother had seen many people like this before.

Just now she was reading a book in the room while waiting for her brother to come back, but she didn't see him and only heard the noise.

"Clatter, clatter, clang, clang" Why is the backyard so noisy?

She pushed the door open holding the holy book in her hand and was dumbfounded to see her brother taking out the Zhuyin Holy Spear and stabbing someone.

Although these two young geniuses have unique brains, they are very capable. The inquisitors are trained by the Holy See to carry out trial tasks, which is related to the reputation of the Holy See.

Therefore, the selection and training are extremely strict. It can be said that in the entire investigation department, except for a few investigators such as Lin Brown, no one can match Haversson's two skills.

These farmers in the village usually resort to ruthless tactics to bully defenseless merchants, but they are not strong enough to fight back if they meet a real tough guy.

It was because Haversson held back, otherwise none of the people in the hospital would have survived.

The brother and sister first took the lawyer down from the stake and asked him about the whole story. After thinking about it for a long time, they still had no clue. Finally, the lawyer reminded them not to get entangled with these villagers. There were many people in the village and it would be easy to suffer losses in the dark. It would be better to take the village chief away. The villagers would be afraid to chase them.

The four of them then got back on the carriage and started their journey again in the dark.

In the carriage, the two siblings asked the lawyer what happened in Baldwin Manor. The lawyer had nothing to hide and told them everything tremblingly.

But the last part sounded different to the brother and sister.

The lawyer said it was a fight between villains, not evil gods. But the fight between two siblings and a nun was really terrible, and the mass was quite bloody.

But it’s no use wondering, you still have to see it with your own eyes.

"Mr. Barlow, do you remember where the barn is?"

"Remember, it's not far from the monastery. It's in the woods on the back slope...Shouldn't we go to the monastery first?"

"Let's go to the barn first and then meet up with Mr. Rich later."

Little Genius has no problem with this point, his work attitude is absolutely positive and serious. Since the bishop told him that it was a mass incident related to the evil god, he couldn't delay at that moment and had to go and take a look. To make a long story short, the farm where the village chief is located is not far from the monastery, only two hours' drive away.

The four men entered the monastery without stopping and went straight to the barn. Normally, the people in the monastery should have noticed the carriage coming, but the gatekeeper had been beaten to death by Lin Brown and was still lying on the bed.

After getting off the carriage, Roselis stayed in the car to watch the village chief, while Haverson took the lawyer in to find out the situation.

If Haverson hadn't been with him, the lawyer wouldn't have dared to come in again, but he had just seen the heroic figure of the judge in the backyard, and he had been saved by the judge, so he plucked up the courage to go.

After walking two steps inside, it was pitch dark and I saw a flame in the distance.

There was a strange smell in the air. Where did it come from? Baba and his servants did it. Although they didn't have to take care of the body, Millie Tang reminded him that if it continued like this, the flies and smell in the barn would be unbearable.

Baba had a solution. He said that his tribe had a kind of dried herb that had been passed down from generation to generation.

When this thing is burned, it produces a strong bitter smell. When the bitter smell is stained on clothes, it can not only drive away snakes and insects, but also barely suppress the stench of corpses. So this is the smell in the barn now.

The lawyer vaguely remembered that the kerosene lamp in the barn was in the corner of the wall on one side, and he walked towards it while lowering his head to light a cigarette.

Why do you smoke? I'm scared, and smoking one can help me feel better.

But the more afraid he was, the harder it was for him to strike a match. His hands were shaking and his palms were full of sweat. He looked back from time to time to make sure Haversian was still following him.

Yes, there is a fire in the room, right? Go and light the cigarette.

Thinking of this, he went straight to Vernon's body. Why did the lawyer dare to go? Because he didn't know the "mass sacrifice" operation of Ginger Head after he escaped. Even if there were dead people in the room, they were shot or stabbed to death at most. He didn't think of the flames as something wrong.

Approaching the hanging Vernon, the lawyer stretched his neck, puffed on the cigarette in his mouth, and looked up!
A big fat face with bulging eyes, a sticking tongue, and face covered with human blood and duck feathers. When a slight breeze blew, the corpse swayed in front of his eyes.

"Ahhh!"

The lawyer turned around and ran with a cigarette in his mouth, screaming as he ran. The scream was truly filled with fear from the bottom of his heart. He was so frightened that he twitched as he ran and was about to faint.

It didn't matter that he shouted, he even woke up Ginger Head.

Ginger Head has been suffering a lot these past few days, tied to the table and guarding the corpses. He is not allowed to eat or drink, and even has to go to the toilet in the bucket next to him.

He was sleeping late at night and was frightened by the lawyer's shout.

What does that mean? Is there really an evil god who comes to desecrate the corpse? I should run away too! He had just woken up and was so confused that he forgot that he was still tied with this rope.

Ginger Head got up and ran to the door, but the lawyer didn't know who he was. It was pitch dark and he saw a figure rushing towards him in the darkness.

Damn, this might be some kind of monster.

With a scream of "Ah!" the lawyer fainted completely from fright.

Haversen behind him also saw Vernon's "sacrificed" body and an extra figure in the barn, who must be the evil god's minion.

I pricked up my ears and heard a strange sound of "swishing". What was that? It was the handcuffs that Lin Bei had put on Jiang Zhitou.

Seeing that the lawyer had fainted from fright, Haverson was eager to save him and pulled out the holy spear without holding back. The spear was as fast as lightning and pierced Ginger Head through the heart with one shot!
Did everyone eat mooncakes during the holiday? I ate all the red bean paste ones in the box today and left the rest.

I’ll try the salty ones next year. I’m gradually able to accept salty rice dumplings, but not mooncakes.
