Following the system's prompt, Mo Cheng searched for two things in the ruined house.

One is the necklace that fell to the ground after the body of the mana monk turned into light smoke.

And the other one was Gouyu who was stained with blood.

[Obtain neutral item: Heart of the Ocean]

[The reward after traveling across the ocean is both a reward and a curse, although the carrier is unaware of its existence. 】

(Heart of the Ocean: A talisman blessed by the Cangyang Council. + Full Attributes: 5)

(Passive: Recovery in water

Provides 10 points/s of life recovery and 5 points/s of mana recovery in the river. )

"So, in the judgment of the system, this guy is considered a wild monster? Then what is it that is lower than this guy, little soldier?"

The judgment and data of the system have always been a mystery to Mo Cheng. When there is no accurate reference coordinate system, he can only rely on his own experience for comparison. But it is clear that his experience is not that accurate relative to a clear reference frame.

But when the equipment was revealed, it was still equipment that could be used directly, and Mo Cheng had no reason not to take it.

Equipping [Heart of the Ocean] in the neutral item column, Mo Cheng immediately felt something calling from a distant place, calling to his mother who was returning home from a wanderer in the distance, which gave him an urge to go to the seaside.

But he restrained himself and suppressed the impulse that surged up for no reason. Mo Cheng frowned and looked at the system commentary text of [Heart of the Ocean]. , bringing a certain blessing and curse to the land.

Moreover, Mo Cheng also suspected that the thing that could seriously injure the mana monk to the point where he could hardly heal his wounds might be a powerful life in the deep sea.

Remove [Heart of the Ocean] from the neutral inventory. For this thing to take effect, at least a river must be found. At present, this equipment has no great effect except for its good looks.

Although the increased attribute worn on the body is useful, but the next thing to deal with is the people of the Inquisition Bureau, and Mo Cheng does not intend to be dominated by the urge to go to the seaside during the battle.

When fighting, if the body is not under its own control even for a moment, the consequences will definitely be disastrous.

As for the other blood-stained Gouyu, Mo Cheng has not been able to find out what its use is for the time being, so he can only put it away and study it afterwards.

…

On the other side, a group of people from the Bureau of Inquisition of Heresy walked in the dark. Apart from Captain Hardy and the other two who were in the room at the beginning, there were five people who were waiting outside and would come to meet them in case of a conflict. people.

I thought that the three of us would be able to subdue those pagans who came from across the ocean, but I didn't expect that the other party would have such a powerful force even if they were injured.

If you bring everyone up at that time, no, you can't.

Captain Hardy knew that the living creature-like darkness on the other side was terrifying, and if all the things that could be swallowed by holy light went up, they might be completely wiped out.

I was able to come out alive, perhaps because the other party was not sure to wipe out all the members of the Inquisition Bureau outside.

However, if the task is not completed, it is not completed. As the leader of this team, Captain Hardy has only two choices.

One is the punishment for not completing the task on your own.

Another is...

"Snapped!"

Hardy turned around abruptly, and slapped a team member behind him vigorously with the sound of the wind in his palm, "Nightingale, why didn't you completely liberate the [soul tool] just now?!"

The member named [Nightingale] was wearing a mask. From the figure, she was a woman. The all-black priest uniform did not reflect any light. She was holding a scythe as tall as a person in her hand. Under this dark environment, , this sickle can actually make people who see it feel like [this thing is the real darkness].

Nightingale lowered her head slightly, her voice was obviously hoarse after processing, and she couldn't hear the original tone, "I don't have enough control over my [soul tool], and there is no way to liberate it in that environment."

At that time, while the whispers in the [Dark Mandala] had been disintegrating Nightingale's fighting spirit, it was also interfering with her connection with the [Soul Tool], invisible and blocked her ability to release the [Soul Tool].

"Trash!" Hardy grabbed Nightingale's neck, and the chain blocked all of Nightingale's strength, pressing her against the wall.

There was undisguised anger in Hardy's eyes, "Because of your incompetence, you will be fully responsible for the failure of this mission!"

Hardy didn't intend to shoulder the responsibility for the failure of the mission, so it was natural to find someone to take the blame for it. The Inquisition Bureau never cared about the loss of missions, but only looked at the results.

If the task fails, there will be punishment.

And Nightingale was Hardy's chosen one to take the blame.

The others didn't speak, and watched silently as the captain pinched Nightingale's neck, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Everyone present knew that Nightingale's adoptive father, Wolfe, had a bad relationship with Captain Hardy. Wolfe almost killed Hardy because of differences in ideas.

Later, Wolf took Nightingale to go to Fairhaven to lurk, and died of a recurrence of his injuries a few years ago. The higher-ups wanted to reactivate Fairhaven's Inquisition Bureau team, so they sent a captain over to [awaken] them.

When they knew that the captain was Hardy, they already knew that Nightingale's situation was doomed.

Hardy will not let Wolfe go, even if the other party is dead, he will vent his anger on Nightingale.

"Deliberately not liberating the [soul tool], it puts us at a disadvantage when talking. Nightingale, I suspect that you have betrayed!"

Betrayal, a frightening word, the price to be paid for [betrayal] in the Inquisition Bureau is painful and eternal.

"I do not have!"

Opening her mouth as hard as she could to deny Hardy's accusation, she knew that once she was accused like this, according to the regulations of the Bureau of Inquisition, Hardy could let everyone kill her first, and then erase all traces of her.

"No, you have! You betrayed Guanghui, you are a heretic!"

Hardy drew out his dagger and stabbed it into Nightingale's abdomen. Nightingale, who was blocked by the captain, had no strength to resist at all.

"You and Wolfe's church, that church of lickers who adopted a bunch of little heretics~lightnovelpub.net~ is called Albert House, right? They're all going to die!"

Now it's not just about letting people take the blame, Hardy is completely out of personal grievances at the beginning, he wants to destroy Wolfe's adopted daughter, and also destroy the last trace left by that guy in the world.

But at this moment, a pure ray of light flew over, first piercing the chest of a member, and then shooting a ray of light from his back and hitting Hardy's back.

"Enemy attack!"

The others reacted instantly, and when they were about to spread out to look for the enemy's figure, two figures with endless fear in the darkness passed over their heads like big birds.

It disappeared like a phantom, but the heads of the two members disappeared with the figure, and the blood in the body gushed out like a fountain.

Death toll: 3.

The current number of survivors of the Inquisition Bureau: 5 people.
