Mystery: Start with the Reader

v1 Chapter 155: Aftermath

"Mr. Cullen, why are you here?" Abner was surprised when he saw the visitor.

   "I was chasing this witch... I didn't expect her to die in your hands!" Karen glanced at Rey's headless body and replied with a smile.

   After finishing speaking, his eyes crossed the corpse and fell on Ms. Dai Li who had been smiling since he appeared.

   Abner saw him looking at Ms. Dai Li, and quickly introduced: "Mr. Karen, this is Ms. Da Li from the Church of the Night. The witch was actually killed by me and Ms. Da Li."

   Karen nodded slightly, and had shared their names with Dai Li, so they knew each other.

  Since the relationship between the Church of the Dark Night and the Church of Mother Earth is very common, Karen did not greet Dali, but told them about the fierce battle in the vineyard before, and finally said:

   "Because Rey was stabbed by the "Goddess Sword", I determined that she would have an accident during the escape, so I used her blood to indicate the direction and then chased him."

   "It turns out that the witch was interrupted by Lord Snake, no wonder it was so unlucky." Dai Li said suddenly.

   Hearing this, Karen twitched the corners of his mouth. Although there is nothing wrong, why does it sound a bit wrong?

  Ebner also finally understood why today's "Solomon Gold Coin" is so effective...

"Hurry up and go back to the banquet. I am looking at the extraordinary characteristics here... I think the church people should be coming soon." Karen glanced at the black jelly-like substance that was leaching out of the witch's body and turned to Abner. The two said.

  Ms. Dai Li naturally had no objection. She trusted the official Extraordinary, even if it was not an official person from Ruen, so she got out of the car first.

"Okay." Abner first responded, but didn't rush to get out of the car, and then asked: "Mr. Karen, the situation of Bishop Utravsky doesn't seem to be very good... Do you have any medicine? Help him?"

   Karen smiled slightly after hearing this, and said: "Don't worry, the bishop is a favored one, his will and faith are very firm, and it won't happen so easily...He should be sober now."

   "The Favored..." Abner repeated this word, and then he was relieved.

At this moment, Karen suddenly waved away the nearby spirit, and then glanced through the car window at Ms. Daly who had already walked a short distance, and then whispered to Abner: "Ebner, the Ms. Daly He has a depraved temperament and is not a suitable candidate for a spouse...In comparison, Miss Hugh, Miss Fors and even Miss Susan who are closer to you are more suitable for you. They are all pure girls."

  As a kinsman, he only likes pure and beautiful girls. A woman who has been ridiculed like Da Li has a bit of disgust by nature.

"Even though Ms. Dai Li has fallen for a while, she has been redeemed by an upright gentleman..." Abner first explained to Dai Li in a serious face, and then said in an unpleasant manner, "I am in your eyes. What kind of image is it? You make me feel like a **** like Emperor Roselle..."

"Rossell is not as subtle as you in the relationship between men and women. He... Forget it, what did I tell you about this." Karen shook his head, suddenly remembering something, and continued, "Yes, you are Didn’t you still owe me a promise?"

   "What do you want me to do for you?" Abner asked warily. He didn't want to go wrong, he just wanted to assess the risks of the matter.

"Don't be nervous, as I said before, it's not a dangerous thing." Karen waved his hand first, and then said carefully, "I think you are very popular with girls, and you should understand the little girl's mind well... so I want to let you You help me choose some gifts and bring them to my sister..."

   Abner was relieved when he heard this request. He didn't bother to argue with each other about whether he liked girls, and whether he knew how to choose things that girls liked... Anyway, Su just bought some gifts for him. As for Karen's sister whether he likes it or not, what does it matter to him?

   "How old is your sister?" Thinking of this, Abner asked casually.

   "Um... less than a hundred years old."

  ……

   Thursday morning, underground of the Holy Wind Cathedral.

  Because he has been responsible for monitoring the Grant clothing store, McConaughey has become the only intact mid-sequence member of the Backlund "Punisher" squad, and has acted as the captain.

   He is now holding a notebook to report the news gathered from all parties to the "Song of God" Ace Snake.

  "Witch Rey has been planning '2-001' as a ceremony for her future promotion after being ambushed once by us.

"However, the'ritual' she used when she changed from joy to pain was a former believer of the Mother Earth God who believed in the'primitive moon', so she was contaminated and showed signs of spiritual division... or a The new personality is quietly changing her.

  " Through her relationship with MI9 and some nobles, she constantly harassed the followers of the Lord, created trouble for us, and further dispersed our power.

"Later, she concealed contamination of '2-001' through the action at the headquarters of the Daily Observer, and then was able to detect the location of this sealed artifact through special means... At that time, Detective Breen passed Evan It reminds us of this, but unfortunately we did not pay attention to it.

"Witch Rey should have known about the existence of '1-025' through her relationship in the ninth place of the plot, and tried her best to induce us to use this sealed artifact to fortune her position. And she secretly contacted half of the Rose School. God, use this sealed artifact as bait to restrain you...

  "The witch's plan finally succeeded. She successfully used three ‘sacred objects’ to get rid of the control of the ‘primitive moon’, and then took ‘2-001’ from the captain.

   "Unfortunately, she underestimated the influence of the "Goddess Sword", fell into doom without knowing it, and was eventually killed by Detective Brian and a night watcher.

   "Finally, the extraordinary characteristics of the Witch of Pain were taken away by His Excellency Saint Anthony, the ‘harvest sacrifice’ characteristic attached to that flower was reclaimed by the Mother Earth Church, and ‘2-001’ was returned to us.”

"Winner" McConaughey closed his notes with heavy eyes, after all, the Backlund "Punisher" team suffered a heavy loss this time. Not only was almost everyone seriously injured since the captain, but even the "Winner". One died in the battle! What's more, a "0" level sealed item was lost.

"We owe a lot of favor to the Mother Earth Church and the Church of the Dark Night... Without their help, Kuhn would not be able to come back..." Sneek sighed with emotion, the only one under his opponent could still The "Winner of the Wind" in action said: "I have reported this to the Holy Church, and the response I got is that the supervision of the Mother Earth Church can be relaxed."

   "To what extent is the relaxation?" McConaughey asked.

   "It is still not allowed to preach in public, but Harvest Church is allowed to hold a mass once a week." Snake replied.

   "Then... where is the dark night church?"

   "Send all the information about the'thief' demigod we got from Haruer. They suffered a loss last time and they must want to save face." Snake said after thinking about it.

   Seeing that McConaughey had no objection, the "God Singer" stood up, just about to leave, suddenly stopped, and turned his back to his team members and asked, "How is Kuhn?"

"He saved his life under the treatment of the'Desolate'... But he overused the'Holy Object' and his spirit was seriously polluted. I am afraid that he can no longer serve as the'Holy Object' contractor and captain." McConaughey sighed. After a sigh of relief, his face was full of haze.

"After he recovers, let him guard the underground warehouse..." After speaking, Lord Snake seemed to think of something, and then asked, "You just said that Detective Brian killed the witch...this Brian Was it the detective who exposed the conspiracy at the headquarters of the "Daily Observer" before? The one that is valued by the Mother Earth Church?"

   "Yes, sir." McConaughey nodded.

   "Then, through the newspapers we control, let's publicize this detective's name. It is our return to the Desolate."

   Snake left the headquarters of the "Punisher" team after he finished speaking, got on the carriage and headed for Queens... He wanted to seek justice for his team members.

  ……

  Queens, Sodrak Palace.

  Wearing a crown, George III with a firm face and a two-handed moustache sat on the throne, looked at Viscount Stratford in front of him, and said with a smile:

   "Go ahead, what happened?"

   "Your Majesty, the Church of Storms and the Church of Dark Night hope you can explain to the court nobles for colluding with the witch." Viscount Stratford bit his head and reported.

   "Explain? Humph, Count Lorena and his son colluded with the Witch of Pain, and were finally beaten to death by the Witch. This is an explanation!" George III snorted.

"In addition, I remember that whether it is the Dark Night Church or the Storm Church, the MPs they support have recently promoted the issue of'Public Examination and Selection of Officials'... Tell them ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ in principle I agreed." George III Seeing that Viscount Stratford was embarrassed, he added another sentence.

   "Yes, Your Majesty." Viscount Stratford breathed a sigh of relief and replied.

   After the Viscount retired, George III sat there, not moving for a long time. I don't know how long it took before he suddenly laughed without warning.

  ……

   In an unfamiliar city shrouded in night, there are gorgeous buildings that are very mysterious and dark.

   And its most central location is a church. This church is more than eighty meters high and is supported by black giant pillars. Each giant pillar is inlaid with a certain number of skulls. Some of them come from humans and some from different creatures, but they will all be hollow. Eyes were directed downwards, as if watching every creature that entered the church.

   The details of this church are exquisite, but they are composed of elements that are biased towards nightmares, horror, horror, and mystery.

   In the depths of the church hall, stands a huge cross with a gray-white dragon statue wrapped around it.

Unlike ordinary churches, there are no rows of seats for believers to pray, and there is no place to put candlesticks. Only a small long table is placed in front of the dragon statue, with five seats on each side of the long table. The chair, the top and bottom are empty.

   At this time, an old-school gentleman with a little wrinkle on his forehead and an abnormally pale face with his eyes wide open. The man with a wide-open mouth mask walked in and said to the other six people sitting on either side of the long table:

   "This is Mr. Rage. He has deep attainments in the spiritual realm. He will be a new member of the panel."
