Chapter 355 The Witch in the Dark Night 13
Chapter 355 The Witch in the Dark Night 13
When Lu Xichen noticed that Leni mentioned the issue of the Son of God, his attitude turned cold, even though he was so gentle to her last night.
"Leni, who is the Son of God?" Lu Xichen deliberately asked again.
Renee looked unhappy and said in a cold tone, "I told you that you only need to take care of the witch mission. Other things have nothing to do with you."
"But……"
"Leni! Why are you still here!?"
Lu Xishen wanted to ask other questions when another person in nun's clothes suddenly appeared at the front of the corridor, staring at Renee angrily.
"Master, I'm coming right away."
Renee walked towards the woman with her head down in fear.
No one assigned Lu Xichen any task. The man whom Renee called "the mastermind" just glanced at her indifferently and left with Renee.
Since there was nothing to do, Lu Xichen was looking for clues related to the mission.
Of the three tasks in the clearance method, only the third one has been temporarily put on hold.
【3. Raise the two sisters' favorability towards you to 100.】
She still had to find a way to return to the manor, or get Laceline and Caroline to come to the church.
Thinking of her strange stepmother and Renee's attitude, she must have a chance to go back.
I wandered around the church aimlessly and came to the back garden. Before I stepped in, I heard people talking inside.
Lu Xichen wanted to leave, but as soon as he turned around, he was attracted by the conversation between the two people in the garden.
"Are you sure she's a witch?"
"Of course. I have observed for a long time. She has been hiding in this remote church and deceived the Son of God. As long as her identity is made public, both the Son of God and the prince will kill her."
"But...she is your biological sister. Do you really want to do this?"
"Sister, so what? You can get 100 coins for reporting a witch. Do you know the value of 100 coins?"
The other party fell silent when asked, nodded helplessly, and left.
Lu Xishen read a lot in the study. He could buy the Earl's manor for 100 coins, provided that the Earl was willing to sell it.
This is also the Kingdom’s reward system.
As long as you report the witch hiding around you, you will be rewarded with 100 coins after verification.
Lu Xishen felt sorry for the girl they were talking about. He didn't know who she was in the church, but she was actually reported by her own brother.
Leaving the back garden, I continued to wander around, this time coming to the "operating room".
A patient was sent to the church where Lu Xishen was, and Renee and other nuns were preparing the things needed for the "operation".
Lu Xichen hid in the corner and observed quietly.
The nuns first performed a strange ritual on the patient, then one of the nuns took out a sharp knife, and another nun stood by with an empty copper basin.
The nun stood beside the patient, reached out to take the knife handed over by the nun, signaled the remaining nuns to hold the patient down, and then she took the knife and cut the patient's wrist.
Lu Xichen discovered that the mastermind had cut open the patient's artery.
If the patient was cut at this location, the nuns would not be able to stop the bleeding with the medical instruments they had. The patient would die.
"what--"
The patient struggled in pain, trying to break free from the nuns' control, but the nuns were already accustomed to this procedure and held her down with expressionless faces.
"Let me go! Let me go! I won't be cured. I will die!"
Lying on the "operating table" was a weak woman. Her face was pale and her lips were bloodless. After being bled, her complexion became even uglier.
"Please, let me go, I don't want to die."
The mastermind placed the knife on a tray beside him and replied coldly: "We don't want to kill you, don't worry, we are helping you purify yourself."
"What purification? You are murdering me! If you cut my artery, I will die!"
"nonsense!"
The master angrily slapped the woman.
The woman was confused.
"This is a method brought by God. It is a method brought by God to save the world. How dare you, a commoner, question God?"
As the master spoke, he pinched the woman's wound hard. The woman screamed in pain and the nun stuffed a rag in her mouth.
"Uh-huh!!"
The woman continued to struggle, but to no avail.
The messenger rolled her eyes at the woman, glanced at the expressionless nuns around her, and began her sermon.
“Listen carefully, people like her may seem to have learned a lot and understand a lot, but in fact they are possessed by evil spirits.
If we can't drive away the evil spirit, the woman will die at its hands.
Then please sing the song of God for our poor sick people."
After the messenger finished speaking, the nuns around him began to sing a song that Lu Xichen could not understand. The lyrics sounded unpleasant and difficult to understand.
After listening for a while, Lu Xishen felt a little headache.
The woman lying on the "operating table" gradually fell into coma, but the painful expression on her face did not diminish in the slightest.
There was something wrong with the song, so Lu Xishen immediately turned around and left.
It had an effect on her, but not necessarily on the weirdness, so Lu Xichen asked Jiang Jiang to go back and continue to monitor the group of nuns and tell her everything he saw later.
Although she had left the treatment facility, Lu Xichen still felt her head was heavy. After taking two steps, she suddenly bumped into the wall, and the pain made her wake up instantly.
"I am...what's going on..."
Lu Xishen stretched out his hand and looked at it in confusion. He was no longer dizzy and the scene in front of him was no longer blurry.
There's definitely something wrong with that song.
After thinking about it, he decided to check the history of the church first, so Lu Xichen followed the signs to the library.
Although the church is small, it has everything. The library is very large, and the books in it cover astronomy, geography, humanities and customs, all kinds of books.
After spending an afternoon in the library, Lu Xichen discovered that something was wrong with this world.
There is a piece of history missing.
She also discovered this matter in the study of the Earl's manor, but at that time she only thought that the manor did not collect this part.
But the church's library also lacks this content, which makes the matter more delicate.
There is no historical record about the Son of God.
There was no Son of God before this missing record, but after the record, the Son of God suddenly appeared and ruled over all the churches.
But bloodletting for treatment was not the Son of God’s idea. It had existed for a long time, but people at that time did not believe in this method.
No one knew what happened later, but suddenly a large number of people began to believe in bloodletting as a treatment method. As a result, the church grew stronger and became a rival to the royal family.
Closing the book in his hand, Lu Xichen stood up and left the library.
There was no useful information to be found here, so she needed to find another way.
I was just about to go ask Renee. Even if I can't get a clear answer, it would be good to get a little clue.
Renee is included in the rules of both places, and their appearance, name, and even voice are the same, which must have a special meaning.
Lu Xichen began to look for Leni in the church. She discovered this morning that this church was completely different from what it looked like from the outside.
Although it looks small, it is very large inside, with two gardens in the front and back, and other open space.
I don't understand why it looks so small from the outside.
As I passed the front garden, the sky suddenly became overcast, and soon there were lightning, thunder, and heavy rain.
