It stabbed into the heart without pain, and the Michael family died in numbness.
After breaking away from the final death retrospective, the "murderer" Lu Li returned to his teammates.
When they had doubts, they asked the Holy Light Team to check the shack again, but still found nothing. They left the shack, contacted the local police station to clean up the mess, and returned to the Giant Tree Academy camp.
Lu Li told Kiruait his doubts.
"Because of those churches. They compete for faith and provide help to residents..."
It is fundamentally different from the police station.
The church is more like a farmer who takes care of his farmland. Pesky sparrows and wild boars will destroy crops. When they appear, the farmer will bring a fork to drive them away.
There are three things that residents of the outer city of Deep Sea City cannot escape in their lives: church, gangs, and death.
Even as they were leaving, a cultist blocked their way.
"The Putrid Mud Matron is watching you...the favored mortal." The believer, or rather the Putrid Mud Matron behind the believer, felt Lu Li's specialness.
"Stand back, we are students of Giant Tree Academy." Kiruait drove away the believers who were blocking the way.
"The great He knows everything..."
The believers stepped back and murmured as Lu Li passed by.
"Don't worry. They just want to attract believers, and they have no ill intentions." Kiruait has seen many similar situations: "Only gods with enough believers and beliefs can be hatched."
After a brief late-night tour of the city, they entered the Giant Tree Academy and returned to the trunk area.
Before going to the mission hall to submit the mission, they returned to the lounge and talked about one thing.
Kiruaite left the fireplace, adding firewood to the fireplace and gradually started to burn vigorously.
"Continue or take a day off?" Kiruait asked, standing next to the fireplace.
"It will be all right."
"It's still early, and we've done almost nothing on this mission."
Naxi and Yeager said at the same time, and Kiruait looked at Lu Li.
"continue."
The level 4 and level 5 trials of Occultism require a lot of practical experience, which Lu Li lacks.
"What about the mission type?" Kiluaite asked again.
"How about Midnight City?"
"Maybe we could try a surface survey?"
"You can't go to the surface! There are countless weird things up there that want to kill Lu Li." Kiruait refuted Yeager's suggestion, and Lu Li replied that everything was fine.
So Yeager and Naxi stayed in the lounge, while Lu Li followed Kiruait to the mission hall to submit and select.
The mission hall is like a tree hole, with no barrier from the outside world. From the long window, you can overlook the dark and dusty surface city. However, considering the size of the World Tree, the hall under your feet is as insignificant as a small hole made by a moth.
Tasks are in the form of parchment, like a bookshelf displaying books, covering the oval wall of the task hall.
A huge piece of fur made of unknown material that records the ranking of the middle-grade teams is hung prominently on the wall. From time to time, the team will fade away like burning and change its position.
Lu Li scanned the first few teams, skipping the middle and looking towards the end. The 100th place was no longer the 63 points of yesterday, nor was it the same team as yesterday.
Kiruit submitted the mission. The incident with Michael's family allowed the Holy Light Team to gain 2 credits and 3 team points. Kiruit still gave Lu Li half of the credits, and the rest was divided equally between her, Yeager, and Naxi.
The mission parchment is divided into areas. Kiruait skips the missions on the surface, restricted areas, and old sewers, and chooses from the Deep Sea City mission.
Lu Li followed and silently stared at the mission on the parchment.
Most of the mission rewards that appear in the middle grade are between 1 and 2 credits and team points. Kiruait told Lu Li that missions with more than 3 points are rare in the middle grade, and those are usually tasks performed by senior teams or solo players.
Kiruait climbed up the ladder, observed the commissioned tasks higher up, and finally tore off a parchment task that was basically 2 credits and divided into 2 teams.
[Midnight City-Outer City-Tongue Street]
[A foreign believer recently moved into the Tongue neighborhood. He does not interact with anyone and will not leave his house. Only his neighbors accidentally saw him leaving the neighborhood at night. On the third day after this foreign believer arrived, a group of people from the local Yunjue Church
Two believers disappeared. On the fourth day, two believers disappeared. On the fifth day, four believers disappeared]
[Task: Investigate the disappearance of Yunjue Church]
[Advanced: Completely solve this task]
[Tip: There is no evidence that outsiders are the murderers, and there is no evidence that outsiders are directly related to the disappearance of believers. The suspicion comes from members of the Yunjue Church, please refer to it with caution]
[Basic reward: 2 credits; 2 team points]
"I know the Yunjue Church, a small church that has not yet begun to incubate gods. The church's creed is mild but not radical." This is the reason why Kiruait chose the mission.
After accepting the mission, they returned to the lounge. But when they left the mission hall, a cloak silhouette blocked them.
"Even exorcists can make mistakes." Silhouette recognized them and rushed towards them. He did not hide his disdain and hostility towards Kiruait. Before leaving, he whispered to Lu Li: "Your choice is wrong. The truth will be
Prove this. The brilliance will be buried and reduced to dust..."
Kiruit fell silent.
Almost all students believed that Lu Li's joining the Holy Light Team was unwise, including the Holy Light Team itself.
It's like the crown prince did not choose to be loyal to his own guards during training, but instead let a few farmers accompany him
This view seems correct, but they ignore a premise: Lu Li cares about his reputation.
In fact, Lu Li never cared about whether his reputation and prestige were spread. Everything he did was righteous and not for reputation.
Returning to the lounge, taking Yeager and Naxi with them, the Holy Light Team arrived at Midnight City again.
They first went to Yunjue Church, a church connected to a residential house and without even a decent church.
The disappearance of seven believers in three days has made the remaining believers panic. Except for devout believers and a few priests and nuns, no more believers can be seen in the houses that are decorated like "lying halls."
"Yes... we believe it was the outsider who did it. That heretic wants to compete with our Lord for faith!" The middle-aged nun's eyes were filled with anger and fear.
"Are there any other suspects?" Kiruit asked.
The nun replied no, because of the gentleness of the Yunjue Church, they have no enemies or hostile churches.
The current target of suspicion is the foreign cultist.
Under the leadership of the nun, the Holy Light Team came to the house where foreign believers lived. After taking the potion, Kiruait knocked on the door.
After waiting for a long time and no one answered, Naxi picked the door lock and followed Kiruait into the house.
A wooden chair was placed in the middle of the living room, with a body sitting in the chair, head lowered, having been dead for a long time.
"It's him! That heretic!" the nun exclaimed, retreating in fear.
Kiruaite frowned and looked around. Lu Li then approached the seat, picked up the notebook on the leg of the corpse and opened it.
[The disappearance of the heretics in Yunjue Church was my fault]
