Three more days passed, and Pastor Vincent returned to the small church on the mountainside a little tired. At this time, the nun who stayed behind handed him the note left by Rocher.
After reading the above content, the pastor's face darkened, and he put on his coat again.
"Do you want to go out? It's already dark outside, and the mountain road may be difficult to walk on." The nun on the side asked.
"Luna, have you forgotten what I was capable of before? What's the difference between this and the day for me?" Vincent said while adjusting his coat.
"I haven't forgotten, but I'm afraid you have forgotten that it has been nearly twenty years since your 100th birthday. The handsome priest who took care of me is now a bad old man." The nun brought a lantern.
, placed in front of Vincent.
"Oh, okay, I'll take this with me." Vincent smiled and shook his head, as if he didn't want to admit the fact that he was old.
The old man in a white robe followed the small lantern and disappeared at the end of the mountain road. It was pitch dark all around, with the occasional chirping of insects coming from all directions.

Aquarius.
Dong Dong——
Luo Xier was awakened by a knock on the door in her sleep.
Fortunately, the sound was not loud, and Bo Li was still sleeping soundly beside her.
She got up, got out of bed, lit the lantern on the table, and then opened the door. Sister Melien stood outside the door, seemingly anxious. When she saw Luo Xier opening the door, her brows finally relaxed.
"I'm sorry to disturb your rest, Luo Xier. But now I have something urgent to ask you and I need your help."
"Is it just me?" The girl looked at Bo Li, who was sleeping in the room.
"Yes." Sister Mei Lian nodded.
"Okay, let me change my clothes first." Luo Xier closed the door again, put on a black nun's uniform, and came outside.
"Follow me." Sister Mei Lian walked along the corridor with Luo Xier. It was already late at night and the surroundings were very quiet. The sound of clothes rubbing against each other and the sound of footsteps could be clearly heard.
The two walked out of the resting room, walked through the courtyard under the moonlight, and came to a remote house. At this time, four fully armed church knights were standing outside the door. They were all Sequence 5 existences, and they were also among the knights.
A rare elite.
After Mei Lian chatted with a knight in front of the door for a few words, the knight nodded and then made way for Luo Xier and Mei Lian to go in.
The house was brightly lit, with torches on the walls. The two walked through a short corridor and came to a door with steel horizontal strips and rivets. Mei Lian knocked on the door and murmured a brief spell, and a stream of words flowed on the door.
With a brilliance like water ripples, the lock bolt made a sound and then opened.
The small room was full of people, and lying on the bed in the middle was a middle-aged man, who was exactly the man Luo Xier reported to a few days ago.
At this moment, his limbs were fixed on the bed with iron shackles, and he seemed to have fallen asleep. There were four people wearing dark robes standing around him. These four people had mysterious temperaments, and even their extraordinary perception seemed to be obscured by the black robes.
Difficult to detect.
They didn't say a word, were silent, and had various weapons hanging from their waists. They seemed to be elite combatants.
In addition to these four people, there are two more people standing next to them. One of them is also in black robe, but his status seems to be higher. He is talking to an old man. And this old man is Rocher's former teacher, Pastor Vincent.
, the archbishop who has retired.
"According to the results of our investigation using the 'Pure Blood Holy Ball', this person has indeed been corrupted by the Phantom of Chaos."
"However, the process is slight, as if a dragonfly landed on the water and did not stop. The traces left behind are extremely subtle. Only when the holy object is brought closer to one meter, there is a weak reaction."
"In this case, it proves that Luo Xier is right. The route this person took on the way to the sanctuary must be investigated by everyone he has come into contact with." Vincent said slowly.
"It can be done, but I'm afraid it will take a lot of time. The most worrying thing is that the chaotic phantom will spread during this time." The deep voice of the man in black robe came from under the hood.
"Teacher Vincent, please call me." Luo Xier stepped forward, saluted slightly, and then looked up at the old man.
"Yes, I have to thank you for discovering it in advance this time."
"Although it's a bit presumptuous, I still want to know how you discovered it. This is not an easy thing. After all, the symptoms are too weak."
"Because I once saw the Phantom of Chaos in Emenas, and I had an impression at that time. I met it by chance this time, and I can naturally recognize it." Lorraine Hill replied. What she said was indeed true. You can check it at school.
and confirmed.
"Regarding the turmoil in Emenas the year before last, we sent people to investigate, so we know the name of Miss Rocher." The man in black robe raised his head, revealing the pupils of the masked black cloth, which reflected
The firelight on the wall is particularly bright and sharp.
"But this time we want to know the specific process by which Miss Rocher discovered this person's anomaly. This is not a suspicion, but a curiosity about your early and keen perception."
"Yeah." Lorraine Hill organized his thoughts for a while, recalled the process at that time, and slowly narrated it.
.....
As the story continued, the man in black robe suddenly interrupted.
"Wait a moment, Miss Luo Xier just said that she felt something strange when passing by the hall, and she was not sure until she got closer."
"So where exactly did you feel the abnormality in the main hall, and how far away were you from the hospital bed?" His questions became more and more detailed.
"It was about 50 meters away, and I felt a little strange. Then when I got closer to about 3 meters, I was completely sure." Luo Xier replied thoughtfully. She had a good memory in this life and could recall many details.
"50 meters..." the man in black robe whispered, falling into a brief silence.
Taking advantage of this brief calm, Pastor Vincent spoke.
"I'm sorry to disturb your rest, Luo Xier, but we have just confirmed that this person has indeed suffered or been corrupted, so we urgently summoned you here to understand the specific situation."
Lorraine Hill nodded to express his understanding, then stood aside and waited quietly.
After Vincent and the man in black robe beside him discussed for a few more words, the man in black robe asked the two mysterious men guarding the bedside to leave and arrange the follow-up investigation.
After everything was arranged, the two stopped discussing. At this time, the man in black robe walked over. He was slightly taller and his body hidden under the robe seemed to be very strong. When he walked in front of Lorraine Hill,
The girl felt a significant sense of oppression.
It was a fiercely burning soul fire, but the flame was not warm. Instead, it made people feel bitingly cold. He seemed to have killed many people and had a calm indifference to life.
"Can I ask Miss Rocher to do me a little favor?"
"Please tell me." The girl raised her blue eyes, whose pure color looked like beautiful gems under the candlelight.
"We would like to invite you to participate in a very simple test, and we will give you some compensation regardless of the result."
"What test is it?" the girl continued to ask.
"That's it..."
The man in black robe slowly narrated. Although he couldn't see clearly the appearance hidden under the hood, Luo Xier felt that he was the kind of person who didn't bother to lie and would not cheat her on such a trivial matter.
Vincent was still standing, and the old man felt reassured about him.
After listening to his story, Luo Xier nodded.
"I promise to help with this."
"Then we'll see you tomorrow, Miss Rocher." He left the other two people guarding the room, then took a torch from the wall, walked outside, and disappeared into the night.
