"I was in the cemetery just now, and I heard from my acquaintances about the follow-up of the Balrog incident. The church has now found traces of the cult organization [Whip of the Dead]. They don't have many people in Nolan, but they are well hidden. , I think the plan for the siege should start before the end of this month."
It is already the middle of March, which means that the encirclement and suppression plan will be carried out in nearly two weeks.
"The tattoo on Balrog's body has been determined to be part of the ability [Alien Frenzy]. We got some information from the black market. That Balrog only appeared in Nolan last winter, but no one knows the purpose of his coming here. .As for the cooperation between Balrog and Whip of the Dead, we haven't discovered the reason yet, and there must be some weirdness in it."
This is all information obtained by the father at the funeral. So many things can be investigated in just one week. The church's intelligence system is really amazing.
In addition, the old man also heard that from Beldylan, all the living members of the Quick family have been arrested by the Church of the Sages. During the search, under the Quake family's old home, traces of some remarkable cult rituals were found, which may have involved living sacrifices.
This is consistent with the information Jenkins got from the coachman, but it has not been discovered where the old Quick got the secret information.
Jenkins hoped that the church could find information about the alliance between the upper-class nobles and the [Tree House] from the Quake family or the Antak family as soon as possible, so as to cleanse the nobles of the three kingdoms and find out all the filth inside. It's just that [Tree House] was hidden very deeply. After Ruen's seventh-level gifter was defeated by Jenkins, and Shire's demigod was captured by Miss Bevanna and the others, they never took any action.
"Hope everything is peaceful."
Jenkins muttered under his breath.
The father didn't keep Jenkins for a long time and let him go back. Jenkins didn't go home directly, but met the professor in a tavern on the outskirts of the city in a carriage.
The monthly Mr. Corpse party is about to begin, and while he doesn't like the abandoned hospital much, Jenkins won't give up on it.
"I thought the skeleton sword would be related to Mr. Corpse. You know, Mr. Corpse should be the strongest gifter of the undead system in this city."
On the way, the professor also said this to Jenkins.
"I thought about it before, but Mr. Corpse is much stronger than that Skrull Pompeii. If he is the one who controls the skeleton sword, then there is no need to hide the skeleton sword. Maybe Nolan's demigods combined can't beat it .”
Jenkins replied, trying to stuff the chocolate into the black robe used to hide his identity.
The cat feels left out today, saddened by the fact that Jenkins has been so busy with his social life that he has neglected him since he left the house in the morning.
It thought that Jenkins would play with it for a while at night, but it didn't expect to go to a boring party.
Thinking of this, the cat who was wrestling with Jenkins' hand raised his head and glanced at the abandoned hospital in the distance. Even Jenkins' eyesight couldn't see the buildings at such a distance in the dark of night, but the tiny cat could.
"Meow~"
It knew exactly what was going on in that hospital and what was in that hospital. But the cat doesn't want to remind Jenkins yet, because Jenkins is too disobedient sometimes.
It suddenly occurred to him that on the last day of last month, Jenkins was looking for a girl to invite him to a family dinner. Immediately, the little cat felt that its interest was fading, and it stopped playing with Jenkins' hands, and voluntarily shrank into its robe.
"Huh? Why is chocolate so obedient? Is it sick?"
This worries Jenkins.
There were no other buildings near the abandoned hospital, and the hospital stood in the middle of a large wasteland, so there were no ready-made roads for the party participants to choose.
Every time I go to the hospital, I need to push through the grass and walk through the woods. This is not easy outside of winter, and in winter the journey is made even more difficult by the snow.
It's early spring, but the weeds in the wasteland are already showing signs of frenzied growth. Jenkins and the professor chatted while walking, and even lamented how beautiful the bright starry sky that can be seen in the suburbs is.
As he was walking, he heard a strange noise in his ears, and Jenkins signaled the professor not to move forward. He squinted his eyes and looked at the grove obliquely in front of him. In the darkness, several figures flickered faintly in the grove.
"Benefactors, two, one level four and one level five."
Jenkins said so, judging from the distance of those light spots, it seems that the fifth-level gifter is chasing and killing another fourth-level gifter.
Their location is not in the direction of Jenkins and the professor. After discussing with the professor, they don't intend to meddle in this matter.
I thought it might be implicated next, but the person who avoided the pursuit did not run to the two passing by. On the contrary, after a very dull sound, the light spots of the two bestowers unexpectedly disappeared at the same time.
"what's the situation?"
Jenkins and the professor looked at each other. They both heard the sound just now, but the professor couldn't see the light spot, so he didn't know the disappearance of the two benefactors. Although Jenkins could see the dots of light, he knew very well that the dots of light should go out little by little at the time of death, instead of disappearing so quickly.
In the end, the two couldn't hold back their curiosity, and after getting ready, they headed towards the place where the sound was made just now.
Walking through the woods, the white light quickly attracted the attention of the two. After getting closer, it was discovered that it was a white circle of light standing in the forest, from which endless white light was emanating.
Around the white light gate, all the trees that should have existed disappeared, and the trees a little further away seemed to have been bitten by an invisible beast. There was even a tree with only one side left, and the profile was extremely smooth. Can't make such traces.
Jenkins guessed that this was the space change when the entrance of the Paradise appeared, destroying the nearby materials. In this way, the two people who disappeared should have entered the Paradise unluckily.
"It's just unlucky."
The professor said the same, reaching out and pulling Jenkins:
"Let's leave quickly, and report this place to the Rendezvous after the party for a while. I found that in recent years, the frequency of Nolan's strange situations has become higher and higher."
Jenkins also felt the same way. Since coming to this world, he has encountered strange situations almost twice a month. Moreover, in most situations where he encounters a strange situation, the light door will "just happen" to appear in a position where he cannot avoid it, as if fate is playing a joke on him.
