Gallo's donkey cart disappeared inside the Mia Church, and the two guys who were watching also stopped and did not approach rashly.
Both of them looked like ordinary people, one seemed to be a middle-aged man in his thirties, and the other was just a teenager. They both looked honest and didn't look like they would do such a thing.
that kind of people.
However, both of them's eyes were a little cloudy and confused, and they looked like they were lost, but they were particularly motivated in action, and they were able to patiently follow Gallo all the way.
They were hiding in a corner outside the church. They looked like they were chatting, but in fact they were secretly observing the surrounding environment.
After confirming that Gallo went in and never came out again, the teenage boy said:
"The situation has been confirmed, please go back and report."
His voice was hoarse and intrusive, with no ups and downs at all, and it didn't sound like a human being speaking.
Another middle-aged man in his thirties nodded, but before leaving he asked a question:
"This church has no name or obvious logo. Which denomination is it specifically?"
His voice sounded similar to the previous one, equally cold and hoarse, without any ups and downs.
"That's not the point. Just know the location."
The young man replied.
The middle-aged man no longer had any doubts, slipped into the alley next to him, and disappeared quickly.
After he walked away, the young man looked around again, planning to get closer to the Miya Church.
But as soon as he walked out of the corner where he was hiding, he saw a tall and strong black mule standing in front of him, looking at him coldly...
After a while...
"No, didn't I tell you not to be harsh? Are you going to catch anyone alive?!"
"Do you understand the living mouth? It's alive! It can move! Just like me and the little milk cat! It's alive!"
Gallo looked at the young man lying in front of him like a puddle of mud, and said to the two forms of Amiya in front of him in a somewhat crazy manner.
Amiya, in the form of a black gold demon doll, squatted on the ground, curled up with her huge body, hugging her knees, looking very aggrieved.
Amiya, who was in the form of a girl with bunny ears, took the initiative to hold Gallo's hand, held it with both hands, and pressed Gallo's hand to her chest...
Maybe you want to express your apology in this naked and direct way?
But Gallo didn't accept this at all, and quickly pulled his hand back and said seriously:
"It's no use! This trick is of no use to me!"
Amiya, the bunny-eared girl, thought for a while, grabbed Gallo's hand again, and brought it to her legs wearing black stockings...
Gallo hesitated for a moment, but still forcefully pulled his hand back and said angrily:
"What's going on with you recently? Your thoughts are getting weirder and weirder, and you're becoming more and more disobedient?!"
After saying that, Gallo took the initiative to reach out his hands, grabbed her two rabbit ears respectively, and pulled them to both sides as a punishment.
But Amiya put on a charming look with half-closed eyes and slightly parted lips. She didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but actually seemed to enjoy it?
She even stretched out her hands and hugged Gallo's waist, wanting to bury her head in his chest...
This doesn't feel like punishment or a lesson at all!
Fortunately, at this time, the young man lying on the ground suddenly twitched, like a zombie resurrecting, and slowly got up and rubbed his head.
Then, when he opened his eyes, he saw a young man in front of him cuddling with a super cute girl...
"This...where is this?"
"Who are you?"
The young man asked with a panicked look on his face, his voice trembling slightly.
Gallo quickly threw Amiya away, pulled him up, and said righteously:
"It's strange. You seem to be quite honest, but you still pretend to be dead?"
After Amiya caught him and brought him back to the church, his heartbeat and breathing were already very weak. Although he still had his last breath, he was basically hopeless.
The old bishop is not here, and Gallo doesn't know the magic of healing, so he really can't be saved.
That's why Gallo thought that Amiya's attack was too harsh and caused a cerebral hemorrhage or something like that.
As a result, he got up like a perfectly fine person?
But this is fine...
Gallo didn't waste any time, grabbed the guy and dragged him into the special confession room.
Because Gallo had been very busy before, he didn't have time to renovate the confessional. It was still a normal confessional style, with hollow wooden boards and windows separating small single rooms, where priests and believers could complete confessions and confessions.
Gallo doesn't like this style and thinks it's not direct and effective enough. When he has time in the future, he will definitely change it to the behind-the-scenes mode.
He randomly selected a small confession room, threw the young man in, sat on the other side, and asked:
"Name, age, occupation?"
The young man was not very cooperative and did not answer. He even asked:
"Who are you? What do you want to do? Let me out quickly!"
"Tsk tsk... you're not very cooperative?"
Gallo touched his chin, showing a somewhat embarrassed expression.
I'm so kind, I can't do anything like torture to extract a confession.
What's more, now that I am a bishop, I can't do it even more.
I had to think of other ways...
So Gallo said to Amiya:
"Amiya, find the whip and soldering iron in the basement. Remember to sprinkle more salt on the whip and turn up the stove..."
"Let's treat this tough guy to a salty and roasted meal!"
"Oh, by the way, I also found the peeling knife in the kitchen that I haven't used for a long time and sharpened it!"
"Moreover..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw the young man opposite him turn pale, kneel on the ground, and beg in a low voice:
"Please, please spare me! I will say anything!"
Gallo couldn't help but reveal a proud smile.
There is no need to torture, but you can interrogate with words...
The frightened teenager quickly told everything about himself, including grabbing the child's lollipop, peeking up the girl's skirt, and having sex with two girlfriends at the same time.
But he only didn't say why he followed Gallo and who instigated him.
He seemed completely unaware of this. He was originally rushing to go on a date with his girlfriend, but when he was stunned, he was caught by Gallo and put into a confession room.
Whether it was the detection of divine magic or the emotions revealed in his expressions and words, it showed that he was not lying, and Gallo could be sure of this.
But he doesn't look like he's been bewitched or mentally controlled. These methods can cause serious damage to a person's spirit, and will leave very obvious traces and fluctuations that can be seen at a glance.
What's more, whether it is bewitchment or mind control, there will always be some connection between the controller and the victim, so that remote control can be achieved.
However, Gallo searched carefully and found no similar traces at all, which was enough to prove that it was not caused by such techniques.
It's definitely not memory erasure. Those methods of erasing memory will cause extremely serious damage to the human brain, and basically turn it into a vegetative state. So why bother to erase the memory? Just physically erase it.
Already?
This place is not like Earth, where there are various methods that can perfectly erase memories without harming the body, such as a flashing pen, a few Saint Quartz or the Pure Source Stone as compensation. If you go online for three months, you will automatically forget it.
Something like that.
It's very weird. Did the other party use some new method that I haven't heard of?
Gallo touched his chin, frowning in thought.
He felt that the current situation seemed to be somewhat related to the cases in which Mrs. Carola was attacked before...
The gangsters who attacked Mrs. Carola didn't know who was behind it, and no clues could be found afterwards. The situation was somewhat similar to this young man's situation.
Gallo was thinking about it, and a strange idea suddenly came to his mind:
Could it be...magic?
In addition to those special sorcery and magic that can control people's thoughts, some magical spells also have similar effects, but they are not as direct and the effect is not as strong.
For example, those magic spells in the confession department, like Gallo's favorite confession, can force people to confess their sins, which can barely be considered this type, but they can only make people confess their sins.
Another example is that Gallo once used it once, and then listed it as a forbidden technique of 'persuasion' because it violated the doctrine of "Everyone who believes in my Lord does so voluntarily and cannot be forced."
The magic itself does not actually have a strong effect. Although it can also affect other people's thoughts, it only makes it easier for people to believe in their own sect and makes preaching easier.
Because the effect is weak, the side effects are certainly not strong, and it is a low-level magic, so it is very inconspicuous.
But Gallo used it on the baron's nephew and the sheriff, and the effect was too good, turning them into good people instantly. In the end, they squandered their wealth and committed suicide in order to atone for their sins.
Then if there is someone else who can perform the same powerful persuasion spell, perhaps this weird situation can be achieved.
Thinking of this, Gallo quickly activated the Divine Insight Technique and looked at the young man who was still trembling again.
He had actually observed the other party using the Divine Insight Technique before, but he didn't detect any clues.
This time, Gallo looked particularly carefully, carefully examining the light emanating from the young man, and repeatedly comparing it with the gray light from ordinary people in his memory.
Finally, he made a discovery.
Although the young man still has the same gray light as ordinary people under the power of insight, his gray color is slightly brighter than that of normal people...
It's just a tiny bit. If you don't observe carefully and compare carefully, you won't be able to tell at all!
Sure enough, this guy had been blessed with magical powers! He was probably controlled by this magical technique and came to follow him.
It is the kind of magic that has very weak fluctuations, is also very secretive, and is specially disguised for insight!
Such targeting shows that the mastermind behind the scenes is very knowledgeable about divine arts, has profound attainments, can make various modifications to divine arts, and is also very familiar with the style of the priest profession.
At the same time, he also has very clever anti-divination and anti-reconnaissance methods...
This man must be an extremely powerful priest!
But what Gallo couldn't understand was why a cleric would do such bad things?
Even if you have a grudge against Mrs. Carola, you should try to eliminate the dispute and educate and persuade others, instead of instigating others to carry out insidious attacks.
Gallo couldn't understand what this man was thinking, couldn't figure out his purpose, and couldn't even guess his identity. There were too few clues.
He has heard of all the powerful and famous clergymen in the City of Innocence, and has also seen some of them, such as the genius magical girl Mitherland, the iron-blooded knight Dodon, the steady Robert, and so on.
These people are all respectable big shots. There is no reason to do such a thing, and there is no reason to specifically target a building materials merchant from the City of Plenty.
Could it be that the other person is a member of a low-key sect like me?
Gallo could only speculate like this in the end.
Since I can't figure it out, I can only try to find him out and ask him.
If nothing else, this person should have some connection with the young mage who had an enmity today, otherwise he would have no reason to suddenly target him for no reason.
I am so low-key, so kind, and always kind to others. Who else would hate me except the mage?
Go visit the mage of the Enleth family in the evening, persuade him to do good, and at the same time dig out clues to the mastermind behind the scenes!
Gallo made a decision in his mind, and casually released a purification magic to remove the magic from the young man, planning to send him back to the Sheriff.
The light on the young man's body immediately returned to the gray color of a normal person.
But at the moment when the dispelled divine magic finally disappeared, a strange wave suddenly erupted.
That wave sent a message to Gallo.
It was a contemptuous laugh:
"hehe..."
The next second, the young man's eyes widened suddenly, as if his eyeballs were about to fall out, and the whites of his eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes.
Then, a stream of dirty blood gushed out from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose at the same time. He fell to the ground, twitched twice and stopped breathing.
All this happened so suddenly that Gallo had no choice but to do anything.
That chuckle before seemed to be mocking his incompetence and weakness...
He had no idea that this magic could be so insidious, and that it would leave such a vicious back-up plan?
Can such an insidious and vicious trick really be called a magical technique?
Gallo clenched his fists, exposing the veins on his arms, and subconsciously took out a small wooden hammer.
However, there is no connection between this young man and the mastermind behind the scenes that the wooden hammer can use.
Finally, Gallo put away the wooden hammer, tried to calm down, and his expression gradually calmed down.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at the corpse of the young man, and silently apologized in his heart.
While he was interrogating the young man earlier, another middle-aged man with a numb expression and confused eyes was standing in front of the young mage, reporting his findings to him.
"I understand, thank you for the information."
The young mage replied politely.
The middle-aged man nodded, then suddenly alerted himself, his eyes returned to normal, and then he asked with a look of astonishment:
