Invincible priest, out of the courtroom

"Oh... Forget it, let's not talk about this... Good night, Rorschach."

"Good night, Val."

Luo Xia waved at her, watched the motorcycle disappear from sight, and then turned back to the dormitory.

But when he passed Nota's room, he not only saw the light coming from the crack in the door, but also heard a strange conversation:

"Wow~ Aunt Agartis, your skin is really good, even I'm envious..."

"No, Mama Akatis is very young. When we go out with me, people often misunderstand her as a sister."

"No...don't talk nonsense, I'm going to knock you on the head!"

It seems that Agartes and Nido chose to stay here tonight.

This is not the first time, there have been several times before, anyway, this dormitory for priests is quite big, there are quite a lot of vacant rooms, and it is no problem to live in a few more.

And tomorrow's breakfast will be replaced by Agartis, which is much more delicious than Rorschach's potato + tomato two-piece set.

Luo Xia didn't bother knocking on the door. If there's anything to talk about at breakfast tomorrow, he went back to his room to take a shower and sleep.

When I listened to the news the next morning, I found that in addition to the routine celebrity gossip and stock recommendations, there was a rare missing person notice in the final newsletter section?

The person I was looking for was naturally Jennifer, and it was published in the identity of her parents. After describing her appearance in detail, she said that she ran away from home due to family disputes. I implore anyone with knowledge to contact me.

As an 'informed person', Rorschach certainly knew what was going on, so he couldn't help feeling amused.

Disguising the wanted notice as a missing person notice is probably to avoid troublesome things like jumping over the wall in a hurry, acting bravely, and making up your own mind?

He also vaguely remembered that this kind of missing persons announcements did not appear frequently in the morning news, but there were several times before and after. Most of the people he was looking for were of the same nature as Jennifer, and they were all in the name of relatives and friends. ...

I feel that writing news in the city of oracle is quite hard work?

After listening to the news, Rorschach went into the kitchen again, and there was indeed a virtuous Agartis busy there. Seeing Rorschach coming, he turned around and smiled at him.

Under the make-up of the morning sun, that smile was really beautiful and gentle, making Luo Xia feel warm in his heart.

After a while, Nota and Nido also refreshed in the dining room, and when they met, they asked about what happened last night.

Akatis next to him also listened secretly with sharp ears...

Rorschach briefly explained the situation.

Immediately afterwards, Nido wailed:

"My teacher 'Bi An Hua', why is he a lawbreaker! Huh..."

It seems that this time, it belongs to the collapse of the human design, and the fans have turned black.

========

It seems that book reviews are about to be lifted?

But is anyone still watching...

Hunting the Saints: Chapter 292 290. Bad News

After breakfast, Rorschach called Karanna and went out to run business.

Naturally, today's funeral was as smooth as ever, and the guests were moved to tears. Rorschach naturally received wide acclaim, and the name of 'The Undertaker' became even more resounding.

It's just that after the funeral, Rorschach was on his way back and happened to pass by the cemetery of Half a Gentleman and Mr. Mindless.

As soon as they saw Luo Xia approaching, they all looked over.

The half-gentleman took off his hat and bowed, and said loudly:

"It's an honor to meet you."

And Mr. Brainless was empty from the neck up, but he still stretched out his hand and made a gesture of taking off his hat. He obviously didn't even have a mouth, but the words still drifted into Rorschach's ears:

"Greetings!"

The language they both used was naturally the language of the dead.

But Rorschach understood without any hindrance...

Thinking about it was very intrusive, and Rorschach didn't dare to speak up at all. He could only force a smile, nodded, and then left the cemetery in a hurry.

When he got to a place where no one was around, he couldn't help asking Karanna who was floating behind him:

"Why is this happening? Is it a change in the natural environment? Or is it the influence of that angel? Or is it the witch's conspiracy?"

Karanna remained silent, saying that she didn't know either.

"Forget it, let's go back first, the current situation makes me not want to come to the cemetery..."

Karanna put her arms around his waist from behind and led him quickly back to the church.

Agatis and Nota have already left, and they still have work to do at the monastery today.

But Francis came, with a serious face, and he was still pacing back and forth on the fountain square, looking quite anxious.

"What happened?"

Rorschach hastily greeted him.

"Goddess! You are back!"

As Francis said, he took out something that looked like a holiday card from his pocket, and handed it over.

"Please take a look at this."

Rorschach nodded, and opened the greeting card, revealing a set of three-dimensional paper structures inside, like some complicated mystic runes.

The rune shimmered slightly, projecting an image and a voice in front of Luo Xia:

"I must pass on this image of despair, whoever sees it, please send it back to the City of Oracles..."

"The witch is more ferocious than we expected. My team has been wiped out, and I am the only one left..."

"They... came..."

This should have been recorded using some kind of extraordinary ability or engineering device.

When the message ended, the video began to play.

In the picture, a standard seven-member team of priests is marching in a huge tunnel.

The place is long and damp, like being in a certain sewer, but also dark and deep. Even though the clergyman used the holy light to illuminate, he was still tightly wrapped in darkness, and the visible range was only ten meters.

Under the reflection of the holy light, the surrounding pit walls reflected a strange luster, like slowly wriggling flesh and blood, it seemed that it would sweep over from all directions at any time and completely devour the team.

But the person who left this video is not afraid of it, and is still making routine records:

"I found a place that seems to be a witch's lair, and I am leading a team to explore deeply..."

"May the light of our Lord be brilliant forever, and we will never disappoint His Majesty's expectations!"

"It has been running for 3 minutes, and no abnormalities have been found for the time being. According to the usual practice, start inspiration and vision..."

"Wait! Do you feel that the tunnel is narrowing? The walls are creeping?"

As soon as the voice fell, the picture suddenly became blurred, and the sound seemed like the radio station lost contact, leaving only a series of 'rustling' sounds.

At this point, the video is over.

Francis next to him spoke at this moment:

"This was sent back by a search team from the 'Light of Justice' sect. Their people may have..."

But Rorschach only asked a very simple question about this:

"Where?"

Francis shook his head.

"I can't locate it temporarily. This video was taken three days ago, and the location of the accident of that team has not been accurately located yet. During their operation, they were affected by unknown factors and deviated from the established plan unknowingly. The route is very far, so follow-up support has not been found yet..."

"This is the trick that witches are best at. Although I reminded them in advance, their defenses are still insufficient."

After hearing this, Luo Xia could only sigh.

"Alas~ They are too impatient, and have lost the prudence and calmness that priests should have."

"I have been reminding and emphasizing the danger and cunning of the witch, but the current situation of 'Light of Justice' is very bad, and it is gradually losing power in the city. There is a lot of pressure from all aspects, and an outstanding performance is urgently needed to prove it again. Own."

Francis said, also full of regret and helplessness.

This is simply a senseless sacrifice...

"What about the future plan?"

Rorschach shook his head and changed the question.

"I will lead the team to join the other search teams going forward as soon as possible, and strive to locate this witch's lair as soon as possible."

As Francis said, he mentioned Andy who was on his side by the way:

"The 'Lucky Companion' sect will send people to our residence to maintain the condition of believer Andy. You don't have to worry about him."

"Compared to him, I'm more worried about you..."

Rorschach said, patted Francis on the shoulder, and urged earnestly:

"You must be careful, and you must learn a lesson. If you have any news, contact me immediately..."

Francis was slightly taken aback, quickly stroked his chest with his right hand, bowed slightly to Rorschach, and responded:

"I will always remember your teachings."

Rorschach turned his head to look at the distant southern sky again, and continued:

"Although there is no reason, I always vaguely feel that the situation is different from those witch hunts in the past. It is very likely that there are more than one real witch..."

"Yes, I have the same guess as you... Judging from the group of witch believers we met at the station last time, the previous three hunts were not cleaned up enough. These cultists who believe in witches may have survived for a long time."

The group of cultists encountered in the Northland Holy Church last time was dealt with very well by Francis, and then directly solved by Rorschach with a magical spell.

But they dared to enter the city of oracle to cause chaos, which can already explain a lot of problems...

This group of evil forces is probably far more than this number...

And the city of oracle was not long ago, but an angel just descended, and the cultists dared to take the lead at this time, and they probably already had new reliance behind them.

Hunting the Saints: Chapter 293 291. Rituals of a Daily Nature

A total of four witch hunts were carried out. Except for the most efficient and thorough fourth time which took place in the Northland, the remaining three times took place in the Southland.

Compared with the northern land, the southern land is more complex and changeable in terms of geography, humanities, religion, power, conflicts, and entanglements. While the collision produces prosperity and brilliance, it will inevitably become a breeding ground for evil forces. hotbed.

Therefore, although the previous three hunts were victorious after a long time and huge sacrifices, it was difficult to clean up those remnants as thoroughly as the Northland.

What's more, the civilization and technology at that time were far less developed than they are now. Extraordinary people are still talking about "three stages of fighting power" and "my magic power is still above yours." impossible.

And once the Witch joins these remnants, the level of trouble will naturally increase exponentially. If their power is allowed to spread, it will form a tug-of-war like the previous three times.

Therefore, to deal with them, we must be steady, ruthless, and fast. We need an experienced priest like Francis to take the command, and we also need the powerful combat force in the rear to provide timely support.

"Then, I will take my leave first, the airship will depart in an hour."

Francis didn't have any extra nonsense, so he was ready to leave.

But Rorschach suddenly stopped him.

"Wait a minute, postpone the trip for an hour."

When he said this, he changed from his usual humble and gentle tone, but for the first time used the strength that an 'archbishop' should have, and directly gave Francis an order.

"Uh...Your Majesty, this is..."

"Do you have any personal items on your body? The ones that will never leave your body."

Rorschach continued to ask.

Francis froze for a moment, then took out a pendant from his chest, and opened it again, revealing a happy family photo inside, with his wife and children smiling sweetly and happily.

Rorschach took the pendant from his hand and said:

"Wait for me an hour."

He was about to go back to the dormitory to change clothes.

But suddenly thought of something, stopped, and added an extra sentence:
