241. The hateful enemy (one more 4K words)
Gallo's donkey cart disappeared into the Mia Chapel, and the two stalkers stopped without hastily approaching.
Both of them looked like ordinary people, one looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties, and the other was just a teenager, with very honest faces, and he didn't look like the kind of person who would do such a thing.
But the eyes of both of them were a little cloudy and confused, and they looked lost, but they were extremely energetic in action, and they were able to patiently track Gallo all the way.
Hiding in a corner outside the church, they looked like they were chatting, but they were actually secretly observing their surroundings.
After confirming that Gallo had gone in and had not come out again, the teenage boy spoke:
"The situation has been confirmed, you go back and report."
His voice was hoarse and interfering, his pitch completely undulating, and it didn't sound like a human being speaking.
Another middle-aged man in his thirties nodded, but asked a question before leaving:
"This church, without a name or obvious sign, which denomination is it?"
His voice sounded similar to the man before him, just as cold and hoarse, without 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.
When he had gone far, the young man looked left and right, intending to draw closer to the church of Miya.
But as soon as he stepped 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...
Moments later...
"No, didn't I say don't be heavy-handed? Do you want to catch it alive?! ”
"Do you understand? Alive! It's going to move! Just like me, and the little milk cats! Alive! ”
Gallo looked at the young man lying in front of him like mud, and said a little frantically to Amiya in two forms in front of him.
Amiya, the form of a black gold puppet, squatted on the ground, curled up with a huge body, hugging her knees, looking very aggrieved.
Amiya, who was in the form of a rabbit-eared girl, took the initiative to take Gallo's hand, and then held it with both hands, pressing Gallo's hand to her chest...
Probably want to use this ** direct way to apologize?
But Gallo didn't eat this set at all, and hurriedly pulled his hand back, and said:
"It's useless! This trick is useless for me! ”
Amiya, the rabbit-eared girl, thought about it, grabbed Gallo's hand again, and brought it to her legs in black stockings...
Gallo hesitated slightly, but still forcibly withdrew his hand, and said angrily:
"What's going on with you lately? The idea is getting stranger and more disobedient?! ”
As he spoke, Gallo took the initiative to stretch out his hands, grabbed her two rabbit ears respectively, and dragged them to both sides as punishment.
But Amiya put on a look of half-closed eyes and slightly open lips, and she didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but enjoyed it a lot?
She even reached out her hands and wrapped her arms around Gallo's waist in turn, trying to bury her head in his chest...
It's not like a reprimand, a lesson!
Fortunately, at this time, the young man lying on the ground suddenly convulsed, like a zombie revival, slowly got up, and rubbed his head.
Then, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a young man in front of him hugging and hugging a super cute beautiful girl...
"It's... Where is this? ”
"Who are you?"
The young man asked with a panicked expression, his voice trembling slightly.
Gallo hurriedly threw away Amiya, dragged him up, and said righteously:
"It's strange, you look quite honest, and you still pretend to be dead?"
After Amiya grabbed him and brought him back to the church, the thing's heartbeat and breathing were already very weak, and although there was still his last breath, it was basically hopeless.
The old bishop is not there, and Gallo can't heal the arts, so he really can't be saved.
That's why Gallo thought that Amiya was too heavy and knocked out a cerebral hemorrhage or something on the other side.
As a result, this will actually climb up like a person who has nothing to do?
But that's fine...
Gallo didn't delay, grabbed the guy and dragged him into the dedicated confessional room.
Because Gallo had been very busy before, he had not had time to renovate the confession room, which was still in the normal style of the confession room, with hollow wooden boards and windows separating small single rooms, in which the priest and believers completed their confession and confession.
Gallo doesn't like this style, he doesn't like it because it's not direct and effective, and when he has time in the future, he will definitely have to transform it into that kind of barroof mode.
He chose a small confessional room, threw the young man in, sat down on the other side, and asked:
"Name, age, occupation?"
The young man was not very cooperative, did not answer, and asked rhetorically:
"Who the hell are you? What do you want to do? Let me out! ”
"Tsk... Not very cooperative? ”
Gallo touched his chin, a little embarrassed.
I am so kind, I can't do such a thing as torture to extract confessions.
What's more, now that he is still a bishop, he can't do it.
I'll have to think of something else...
So Gallo said to Amiya:
"Amiya, find the whip and soldering iron in the basement, remember to sprinkle more salt on the whip, and raise the stove too..."
"Let's treat this tough guy with salt and roast!"
"Oh yes, and the peeling knife in the kitchen that hasn't been used for a long time, find it and sharpen it!"
"Also..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw the young man opposite him turn pale, knelt on the ground, and pleaded in a low voice:
"Please, spare me! I'll say everything! ”
The corners of Gallo's mouth couldn't help but show a smug smile.
You don't have to be tortured, but you can be interrogated with words...
The frightened teenager quickly told everything about himself, even snatching the child's lollipop, peeping under the girl's skirt, and being dating two girlfriends at the same time.
But he didn't say why he was following Gallo and who instructed him.
He didn't seem to know anything about it, he was going on a date with his girlfriend, but when he was stunned, he was caught by Gallo and locked up in the confessional room.
Whether it was the detection of divine magic, or the emotion in his expression and words, it showed that he was not lying, and Gallo could be sure of that.
But he doesn't look like he's been bewitched, or mind-controlled, and these methods can cause serious damage to people's spirits, and they will also leave very obvious traces and fluctuations, which can be seen at a glance.
What's more, whether it is bewitchment or mind control, there will always be some connection between control and the victim, so that remote control can be realized.
But Gallo looked carefully, and there was no trace of anything like it, which is enough to show that it was not the effect of such techniques.
It's definitely not memory erasure or anything.,Those methods of erasing memories will cause extremely serious damage to people's brains.,Basically become a vegetative person.,So what's the trouble to erase memories.,Wouldn't it be good to physically erase it directly?
It's not like the earth, there are all kinds of ways to erase memories perfectly without harming the body, like a pen that will shine, a few saint crystals or the compensation of the purest source stone, and you will automatically forget something after three months of surfing the Internet.
It's weird.,Did the other party use any new methods that I haven't heard of?
Gallo touched his chin, frowning in thought.
He felt that the current situation seemed to have something to do with the cases in which Lady Carola had been attacked before...
The gangsters who attacked Lady Carola did not know who was behind it, and they could not find any clues afterwards, which was somewhat similar to the situation of this young man.
Gallo thought about it, and a strange thought popped into his head:
Could it be... Magic?
In addition to those special sorcery and magic that can control people's minds, some magic spells have similar effects, but they are not as direct and not as effective.
For example, those divine techniques of confession, like Gallo's favorite confession, make people force confession, which is barely this type, but it can only make people confess.
Another example is that Gallo used it once, and then listed it as a forbidden 'persuasion', because it violated the doctrine that "whoever believes in our lord is free and must not be forced"
That magic itself doesn't actually have a strong effect, although it can also affect other people's thoughts, but it just makes it easier for people to believe in their own sect and make it easier to preach.
Because the effect is weak, of course, the side effects are not strong, and it is a low-level magic in itself, which is very inconspicuous.
But Gallo used it on the baron's nephew and the sheriff, and the effect was too good, so that they instantly became good people, and finally scattered their wealth and committed suicide in order to atone for their sins.
If someone else could use the same powerful persuasion magic spell, they might be able to achieve the current strange situation.
Thinking of this, Gallo hurriedly activated the Insight Divine Technique, and once again looked at the young man who was still trembling.
He had actually observed the other party with the Insight Divine Technique before, but he hadn't noticed any clues.
This time, Gallo looked very closely, carefully examining the light emitted by the young man, and repeatedly contrasting it with the gray light of the ordinary person in his memory.
Finally, he made a discovery.
Although the young man still has the same gray light as ordinary people under the insight magic, his gray is a little brighter than a normal person...
It's just a little bit, if you don't look closely and compare carefully, you can't see it at all!
This guy has really been blessed with divine magic! It is likely that he was controlled by this magic and ran to follow him.
It's the kind of magic that fluctuates very weakly, and at the same time is very secretive, and it is specially disguised for insight!
Such a target shows that the mastermind behind the scenes is very knowledgeable about divine arts, has a deep knowledge, can make various modifications to divine arts, and is also very familiar with the style of the priest's profession.
At the same time, he also has very clever anti-divination and anti-reconnaissance methods...
This man must be a very powerful priest!
But what Gallo couldn't understand was, why would a priest do such bad things?
Even if you have a grudge against Lady Carola, you should try to eliminate strife and persuade others, not instigate them to carry out those shady attacks.
Gallo couldn't understand this person's thoughts, couldn't think of his purpose, and couldn't guess this person's identity, there were too few clues.
He had heard of all the powerful and famous priests in the City of Innocence, and had seen some of them, such as the genius magic girl Mithelan, the Iron Knight Dodon, and the steady Robert.
These people are big people with heads and faces, and there is no reason to do such a thing, let alone specifically target a building materials merchant from the City of Plenty.
Could it be that the other party is like me, a member of some low-key small sect?
Gallo could only speculate in the end.
Since I can't figure it out, I can only try to pull him out and ask.
If nothing else, this person should have some connection with the young mage who had made a feud today, otherwise he would have no reason to suddenly target him for no reason.
He is so low-key, so kind, and kind to others everywhere, except for the mage, who will hate himself?
In the evening, visit the mage of the Enlais family, persuade him to be kind, and dig out the clues behind the scenes!
Gallo made a decision in his mind, and casually released a purification magic spell to remove the magic from the young man's body, intending to turn around and send him to the sheriff.
The light on the young man's body immediately returned to the gray of a normal person.
But that layer of divine magic that had been dispelled, the moment it finally disappeared, suddenly erupted into a strange fluctuation.
That fluctuation sent a message to Gallo.
It was a contemptuous laugh:
"Hehe..."
In the next second, the young man's eyes suddenly widened, his eyes seemed to fall out, and the whites of his eyes were covered with bloodshots.
Then, a stream of dirty blood gushed out from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose at the same time, and the whole person fell to the ground, convulsed twice, and stopped breathing.
It all happened so suddenly, and Gallo couldn't do anything about it.
The chuckle from before seemed to mock his incompetence and weakness...
He didn't expect this magic to be so insidious, and to leave such a vicious backhand?
Such an insidious and vicious trick can really be called magic?
Gallo clenched his fists, the green tendons on his arms were exposed, and he subconsciously felt out the small wooden hammer.
However, there is no connection between the young man and the man behind the scenes.
In the end, Gallo put away the small wooden hammer and tried to calm down, and his expression gradually calmed down.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at the young man's corpse, and silently apologized in his heart.
And just as he was interrogating the young man earlier, another middle-aged man with a numb expression and a confused look was standing in front of the young mage, reporting his findings to him.
"Understood, thanks for the information."
The young mage replied politely.
The middle-aged man nodded, then slammed his wit, his eyes returned to normal, and then asked with a stunned face:
"I... Why am I here? ”
