The second priest who became a monster also has the means to copy the characteristics to other ordinary priests after preaching to the two. And all these priests who spread the "unreadable" belief will copy their characteristics after the number of missionaries reaches 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, etc., so that their members will continue to expand.
People who choose to follow the "unreadable" gods have no other dangerous abilities or actions other than changing their beliefs. But when the number of ordinary ordinary priests in the entire diocese is less than two-fifths of the number at the beginning of the [Priest is Dead] event, all the specific priests in the entire diocese and those whose beliefs have been tampered with Spontaneously gathered together, initiating rituals to get the parish out of the confines of the physical world and into a terrifying space that no one knows about.
Judging from the meager information that the church has learned, the priest called the final space he went to as the "dark realm". But the Church believes that this is not the name of a space outside the material world, but that it represents the disappearing parish that has become the food for evil creatures in the void, and the dark realm probably means the terrifying mouth of a behemoth entrenched in the void.
Although this is just speculation, it is accepted by most people.
The way to prevent the [Priest is dead] incident from evolving to the worst level is very simple, as long as all the priests whose bodies have been usurped are killed, the incident will naturally end. Although after this, ordinary people who change their beliefs will fall into negative mental states such as confusion and mania for a short period of time, at least this can be cured naturally over time.
Those priest individuals have the strength of a human level 7 gifted person, and they will show strong mental pollution and mental control methods to hostile individuals. This requires that at least the demigod bestowers lead the team, and it is possible to subdue them. Fortunately, the current Nolan City is considered to be the city that lacks demigods in this time period in the material world.
Because it was impossible to devote all his energy to this matter, Jenkins, who had nothing to do at home all night, was called by the church to help. The church believed that although Jenkins was not a demigod, he was more spiritually resistant than most demigods, so he also sent a team of scribes into the city to search for the priests.
Acting with him is Captain Bincy's team, which is the elite of the Church of the Sages in Nolan Diocese, and acting with Jenkins also means helping to protect him.
Of course, the group is not wandering around the city to try their luck. After a brief discussion, the Church of the Twelve Gods divided the parish into squares according to the previous method of dealing with similar types of monsters. Each team only needs to be in charge of one area, and there will be a large number of mobile teams patrolling across areas to assist in cross-area pursuits.
The area where Jenkins and others were assigned was the dock area in the west of the city. Although there were no houses in that small square on the map, the church was still worried about the gatekeepers guarding the docks and warehouses, or the sailors on the boats moored at the docks. He will encounter "Father", so Jenkins will appear at the pier after nine o'clock that night.
"Although my home is not far from the pier, I rarely come to the pier at this time. The night wind at the pier is really... choking."
The pier is also shrouded in mist, but because it is close to the sea and the wind is a bit strong tonight, the air is much better than in the city, but the smell is still strong.
A group of people compared the map and came to the area they were responsible for. Jenkins and Captain Bincy discussed it and decided to send two people to patrol the pier near the sea first. The two of them took the rest of the people to quickly check the warehouse in the east of the area. Once again, visit those ships at the end.
During this period, Jenkins also used his own eyes to observe the nearby area, but did not find the aura of the monster. He thought that this night would pass without any danger, and even thought about whether the church would let him go to other areas to deal with the "priest". But the discovery of the dock warehouse directly disrupted all plans.
"You say you don't know why these things are here?"
Captain Bincy, wearing a patrol uniform, pointed a pistol at the emaciated janitor, and Jenkins crouched by the wall outside the warehouse, prying open the dug-out wooden box with a dagger. The other scribes carefully took out the exquisite wooden boxes placed in the straw one by one.
Jenkins took one of them and pushed open the sliding cover. Inside was golden tobacco wrapped in toilet paper. Hold the tobacco in front of your eyes to confirm the presence of a very faint aura:
"It's that kind of tobacco, indeed."
he whispered.
This is probably considered to be hunting wild wolves, but hit a tiger in one fell swoop.
In this way, the problem is very big. The smell appreciation committee has been eliminated, and people affected by tobacco still have no way to heal the affected part of their souls. The church thought that with the passage of time and the death of this generation, this matter would calm down, but it did not expect that these special tobaccos would still be in circulation.
Captain Bincy understood what Jenkins meant, and looked at the gatekeeper with even more vicious eyes. Under the huge gas lamp above the warehouse door, the head of the poor old and frail janitor shook like a rattle:
"I'm just a janitor, how would I know why there are these things here?"
He has a strong accent and speaks very fast. If it weren't for the fact that these people in front of him are all natives of Nolan, they would definitely not be able to understand what the gatekeeper was saying.
Jenkins looked at him, and Mr. Locke in the team found a letter from the box. Jenkins glanced at it after opening it:
"The letter said that when the box was handed over, the person who received the box had to hand over the last three-fifths of the payment to the gatekeeper as agreed."
"I'm just a janitor, how would I know why there is a letter here?"
The janitor continued to shake his head.
"And what's that piece of metal in your pocket?"
Jenkins asked.
"I'm just a janitor, how would I know the pocket... How do you know that I have a charm in my pocket?"
Captain Bincy pulled the trigger very decisively, but after the bullet hit the janitor's head, it was like hitting a soft candy with excellent elasticity, and the rebounded bullet almost accidentally injured the people guarding the box on the other side.
The talisman in the janitor's pocket exploded immediately, and while Captain Bincy was forced to retreat, the janitor, who seemed only slightly injured, jumped up and rushed towards the roof of the warehouse as if he was stepping on the air:
"You guys are lucky this time, next time..."
The cane was thrown by Jenkins like a javelin, and it turned into a green light, directly nailing the janitor, who was only two steps away from the roof, to the wall above the main entrance of the warehouse. Maybe his defense is outstanding, but for Jenkins, this is just a level 4 boon.
