After agreeing to Catherine's request to participate, Martin reached out to open the folder on the workbench, took out several documents from it, and handed them directly to Leo. Perhaps in his view, both Nelson and Jason were just subordinates.
It's just a product, Leo is the one who really does the work.
Leo was not polite. After taking the document, he found a chair and sat down, using the light on the wall to read it carefully.
The documents Martin took out were all murder case records, and they were accompanied by sketches of the scene drawn by an artist. Although they were scrawled, they could be combined with the written records to give people an idea of ​​what the scene looked like.
These murders all occurred in Cage City. Judging from the names of the places where they occurred, the location was not fixed, but all the murders were in the same situation. The victim's eyes and heart were all dug out, and a piece of heart was placed in the place.
A mouse has two cocoons in its eyes, and both the mouse and the cocoons are dead.
As for the heart and eyeballs that were dug out, they were not with the deceased. Judging from the traces at the scene, someone took away the heart and eyeballs after the death of the deceased, and placed rats and insect cocoons in them.
The most bizarre thing about these cases is that all the people who recorded this case, without exception, believed that the heart and eyes were dug out by the deceased himself, and that the heart was dug out first. According to this order, it means that the deceased was digging out the heart first.
By the time he reaches his own eyeballs, he is already dead.
"Are these cases from a few years ago?" Leo noticed the date on the document and frowned: "You won't let me help you solve these cases, right?"
"No, these cases are just the cause," Martin took out a few more documents and handed them to Leo.
Leo handed the documents in his hands to Nelson and Jason respectively, took Martin's document, and read it carefully. Jason and Nelson couldn't help but exclaimed after seeing the contents of the document.
The document in Leo's hands now has a date from last winter to this spring, and the closest date is ten days ago. This time the victim is no longer an adult, but a child.
The same technique, the same arrangement, but this time the items arranged are no longer just mice and cocoons, but the so-called rabid rats and two moths on the workbench.
"Where's the moth?" Leo asked.
"It melted." Martin explained: "Moths are made of ice and will melt after being left for a long time." As he said that, he handed all the remaining documents in the folder to Leo and said, "In fact, we are looking for
You don’t want you to investigate these cases, we have already investigated these cases clearly, and this sect is the most suspect,”
Following Martin's finger, he looked over and saw that the document said the Aknaya Sect of Ebon Church.
"Is it a cult?" Leo asked directly without looking further.
"No, it's a church registered with the Holy See." Martin shook his head and explained.
Leo carefully recalled the religions of this world and found that the religions of this world were both tolerant and strict.
As long as a sect is registered by the Orthodox Church and included in the Orthodox list, then this sect can preach to anyone anywhere, in any country.
However, once a sect preaches without permission from the Orthodox Church, it will be regarded as a cult. The Inquisition Army of the Orthodox Church will be dispatched to completely exterminate all those who believe in this cult, and governments of various countries will actively cooperate.
As for the Orthodox Church, although its core is the belief in God, it is more like another Continental Congress than a religion. Because before the establishment of the Continental Congress, when disputes between countries needed to be mediated, the Orthodox Church was responsible for mediating, and the Orthodox Church was responsible for mediating.
The Twelve Cardinals are all people sent by various countries to manage the Orthodox Church. The Inquisition Army of the Orthodox Church is also composed of people from various countries, so the governments of various countries have no worries about the growth of the Orthodox Church.
After hearing Martin's reply, Leo continued to look down at the information in his hand. Although he could quickly remember all the contents of the information through the accessory brain system, it was too shocking, so he still turned over page by page.
look.
According to records, the Ebon Church is a very ancient polytheistic church that first appeared in the Black Forest swamp. They deified all the creatures that can be seen in the swamp, such as the god of poisonous snakes, the god of toads, etc.
Although this church is very old, unfortunately the god they believe in is too weird, so they are not liked by people and are not widely spread. It is almost impossible to see the preachers of this church in other places except the Black Forest Swamp.
The Aknaya Sect is a new sect in the Ebon Church. The god that this sect believes in is named Aknaya, who is also known as the God with Thousand Eyes and Thousand Hearts.
Although the church officials say that the god Aknaya is a very ancient god who was sleeping in the past, but is now awake, so they want to create a new sect to spread Aknaya's faith.
But in fact, more people think that the so-called Aknaya God is a church administrator who wants more young people to become members of the Ebon Church and deliberately created such a strange-looking church with simple and easy-to-understand doctrines.
gods.
Although the appearance of this god is very strange, there is nothing unusual in its teachings.
It is mentioned in Aknaya's teachings that the truth of this world is hidden under the prosperity of the world. Only by believing in Aknaya can we use the power of his thousand eyes to see through the fog and see the truth of the world. Only by believing in Aknaya can we see clearly the truth of the world.
Only those who see through the truth of the world can achieve eternal sublimation.
At the same time, the teachings also mention that the truth of this world is not something that mortals can bear. Anyone who sees the truth of the world will be impacted by the will of the world every time he peeps. Only by believing in Aknaya and relying on the power of his thousand hearts
Only with strength can one survive the impact again and again, otherwise the soul will die in the impact and the body will suffer endless torture.
After reading this paragraph, Leo couldn't help but think of his own experiences. Those experiences seemed to overlap with the contents of this teaching.
After pondering for a moment, Leo thought that Martin and what he said were somewhat similar to the content of this doctrine, so he put down the information in his hand and asked Martin very seriously: "Are you also a believer in Aknaya?"
"Yes." Martin nodded and said, "Or to be more correct, I built the Aknaya sect in Cage City with my own hands."
"What now? Have you lost your church?" Leo stabbed Martin's sore spot mercilessly and said:
Martin frowned and said: "In order to avoid conflicts and avoid the split in the church that has finally grown, I chose to avoid it."
Leo put the information in his hand aside and asked, "So what do you think now? Do you want us to help you get the church back?"
"Haha!" Martin suddenly laughed when he heard this. The laughter was full of obvious ridicule. Even Jason could hear it. He was even ready to teach him a lesson, but he was stopped by the calm-looking Leo.
Stopped.
"Martin." Catherine shouted reproachfully to stop Martin.
"Okay! Okay! I'm not laughing!" Martin raised his hand as a sign of apology and said: "I always thought that I was the most arrogant person in the world. I always like to think that I can change the world. I
I kept talking about being able to do great things, but I didn't expect that there is someone here who is as arrogant as me."
"Did I say something wrong?" Leo was not angry because of Martin's behavior. Instead, the branch asked him seriously.
"Do you know how many people believe in the Aknaya Church in Cage City?" Martin asked, and without waiting for an answer, he directly revealed the answer: "More than one million people, accounting for three thirds of the total population of Cage City.
1. Mr. Leo, what do you think you can do to help me regain control of this sect of more than one million people?"
Leo asked back: "If it's not for the control of the sect, then what are you doing for it?"
"For the order we have finally established." Martin put away his smile and said very seriously: "You are not from Cage City. You don't know what Cage City was like before. This is hell. The whole Cage City is just swallowing some hope.
Monsters, the people who live here will either turn into monsters or be swallowed up. Now after many years of slavery, we have finally established a complete order in Cage City, and everyone's life has begun to get better and better. At this time, someone
But I want to destroy this order, what do you think I should do?"
"Was Cage City that bad in the past?" Nelson said suddenly.
"It's worse than you think." Catherine also felt very painful about the past years and responded in a deep voice.
"It doesn't matter, it's over." Nelson couldn't help but reach out to grab Catherine's hand, but he changed his direction on the way and patted her on the shoulder.
Leo ignored the ambiguity between the men and women next to him, but looked at Martin and asked, "What do you want us to do?"
"Everyone in the church knows my people. When I go to the church, I will only be noticed by everyone, and I can't find out anything at all." Martin said: "But you three are different. You are all strangers, and you can completely disguise yourself."
workers who moved into Cage City, and sneaked in as a new member of the church to see if they could find out the people who did these things. It would be better if I could find evidence, so that I could convince the three patriarchs of the church to let me
Get involved directly and investigate this matter thoroughly.”
"Judging from the information above, it is obvious that the person who did this has lived here for a long time, and what he did was some kind of religious ceremony. It is more likely that someone was helping him cover it up deliberately." Leo was full.
He asked questioningly: "Have you never suspected that it was the three high priests you mentioned who did it?"
"It's impossible." Martin said with great determination: "It's absolutely impossible for them. Please don't ask me why. I can only say that I know very well that it is absolutely impossible for the three of them to do such a thing."
Leo was silent for a moment and said: "I still need more information, such as the geography of Cage City, roads and other information, as well as information about the interior and surroundings of the church."
Hearing Leo's request, Martin said with some displeasure: "Even I don't have the information you want. It needs to be collected temporarily, and even if it is collected, there will be a lot of it. It can't be read in one day, let alone
You said you have the content of the information. If Mr. Leo Dodd is unwilling to cooperate, just refuse, why would you use this method to make things difficult for me?"
"Sorry, the request I made is a bit too much." Leo apologized proactively and then asked: "However, we are not familiar with Cage City and the location of that sect at all. Even if we get in, we want to make it within one day.
, it is also very difficult to investigate anything.”
"I have also considered this." Martin answered quickly and said: "Originally, I was planning to send someone to accompany you into the church and let him help you identify the road. But now that Catherine has taken the initiative to join in, let Catherine
Ren is the best person to lead you, and she can also cover for you when necessary."
Hearing Martin's words, Nelson frowned and was about to say something, but was stopped by Catherine beside him, who shook his head suggestively.
"As for the investigation, it is not as difficult as you think. We have already investigated the stronghold where those guys may conduct religious ceremonies. However, the geography of that stronghold is somewhat special. It is inconvenient for me and my people to get close, but you can
Sneak in easily and get used to it when you find something that can be used as evidence, so one day is enough."
Leo thought for a moment and said, "In this case, I don't have any problems."
Martin asked: "Where are you two? Do you have any other requests that you can make?"
Nelson shook his head simply and said, "I don't have any requirements."
Jason said in a rash voice: "We should have some guys on hand, right? If there is an accident and someone discovers it, we can kill him!"
Martin was stunned, nodded, and said: "Of course this is needed. After all, Mr. Dodd's musket is impossible to bring in, so we need to prepare some other weapons. But I hope that if there is an accident and we are discovered, we will also
Try not to do anything, because even if you are caught, I will have a way to rescue you, but if you do, it may cause some accidents."
"Don't worry, we know what to do." Leo answered for the other two.
Seeing that the matter had been settled, everyone began to split up. Catherine took Nelson away to prepare the identity documents and clothing needed by the three of them, while Martin took Leo and Jason out of the clinic and walked through the narrow passage in the building.
After walking back and forth a few times with the aerial walkway, the two were brought to a small building near the ground.
This small building is cluttered with various mechanical parts. In a relatively empty area, there are also some welding machines, cutting machines and other machinery that look like they are pieced together. There is also something that attracts Leo's attention.
