Qin Jiuyuan's arrival did not attract much attention, but the tragic death of Lidegarh spread in the Central Church in an instant.

The news spread so fast that Qiu Xuan suspected that someone had written the copy before Lidegarh's death, and it spread quickly after the first witness found the body.

The first witness was herself.

A few minutes later, several talkative leaders from the Hunter General Bureau all came, and the first thing they did was to ask Qiu Xuan for questioning. Even with Yemo in charge of the Central Church now, the hunters would not be able to lynch her, but even Yemo could not stop the anger of the seemingly angry leaders who were eager to find the murderer.

It was as if they were genuinely angry about Lidgar's death.

Qiu Xuan didn't have anything to say, she looked over a group of beings with different expressions, and saw Chiara's figure at the edge of the crowd. The holy woman must have just come out of the large conference room, and there were several clergy standing beside her, and the meeting of several people did not seem pleasant, and they were still arguing a few words from time to time.

Half an hour later, the Hunters' patrol captured the Carson Siamese sisters alive at the Dawn Star Bar.

They were so drunk that when they were brought back, they were both delirious, and they insisted on pulling at the people next to them to show them the stitched wounds on their bodies.

Qiu Xuan glanced at it in the gap, which was roughly equivalent to the level of two Qin Jiuyuan's broken legs sewn together.

"Lidegarh? Haha, Liedgar ...... "The person who said this was Lilia on the right, and she didn't seem to have the usual cold and frosty disguise to blind people's eyes, and she hugged her sister and laughed drunkenly, as if only at this moment was the only time in her life that she really laughed out loud."

"Lidgar, he made us look like this, and you're asking why I want him to die?" Lilia looked over with a smile, unoblivious to the curiosity-disgusting gazes of the hunters who thought they were hidden. "Then I'd like to ask you, this ...... Mr. Deputy Director? Would you hate someone if they cut off your head, transplanted it to your feet, and let you continue to live in this grotesque state? ”

"You're already freaks anyway." The deputy director of the Hunter Bureau, the man who looked with a bushy beard, said sarcastically. "No matter how much you change it, you're all deformed, is there any difference?"

"Please watch your words."

It was Chiara, who had walked from the other end of the large conference room, still wearing the same uniform that St. Canaan had worn when the fire had started, and the holster clamp around her waist was full of bullets. "I can also testify to this, I saw with my own eyes what the Hunter Director Lidegar did, and although I don't think the Carson sisters were right to kill, in a sense, Lidegar deserved it."

"You should pay attention to your words!"

The deputy bureau seemed to be angry with her, "The nature of this murder is extremely bad!" And you, as a member of the Central Church, are still here to shield the murderer! I think you're in the same league with those freaks! ”

The Carson sisters haven't woken up yet, and they may have woken up a long time ago, but they are still clapping and cheering as if they were watching a dog-eat-dog show. This kind of scene Qiu Xuan is very familiar with, and this is how the audience reacted when they were in the central tent watching the luxurious circus in the spiritual world before.

But Qiu Xuan doesn't think that Lidegarh was killed by the Carson sisters.

Not to mention the open bullets left on the corpse, if it was the pair of sisters who killed them, according to their usual style, they would choose to divide the corpse into two completely equal halves from the middle. No more, no less, just enough to be able to divide it evenly between two people.

Lidgar's current death was more religious, he was disemboweled, crucified on an inverted cross, and his face was riddled with bullet holes from the church's characteristic light-opening bullets.

- Extremely similar to Ya's corpse, except for the part of the inverted cross.

The quarrel between the deputy bureau and Chiara continues, and the remaining hunters continue to ask the Carson sisters which clergy firearms they stole and how they sneaked into the Central Church.

Qiu Xuan pressed her eyebrows and looked at Qiara, who was frowning and indignant.

"I have a question."

She spoke slowly in a long tone, which not many people heard, because everyone was immersed in their own thoughts. So Qiu Xuan took out a firearm in front of all the instructors, the CZ75 double-action trigger pistol, which was the one Ya used when she fought with Chiara in the auditorium before.

"Chiara."

Qiu Xuanping raised his hands and shouted the name of the firearm rose. Kiraya turned her head and saw the muzzle of the black hole pointed straight into her face.

She almost subconsciously rolled sideways and pulled out her gun to fight back, and realized that the other party didn't seem to have the intention to shoot for the time being before pulling the trigger, so she pressed it down, also holding a Glock 18, pointing at Qiu Xuan who was standing in place.

"Seraphim, what do you want to do?" She frowned as if she couldn't figure it out, "Now we are in the building of the Central Church, and the current situation is chaotic enough, if you insist on going your own way, then I can't protect you at all." ”

Pope Yemo stepped forward to stop him, but the next second he was pulled away from the battlefield by a force. Staring over, the cardinal in the wheelchair spoke in a flat tone. "Let her go."

"you." Yemo glared at him, "Do you see what your little friend is doing?" I warn you, Asaphael, that you are now in danger of protecting yourself, let alone carrying another trouble! ”

"Remember this gun?" On the other end, Qiu Xuan seemed to have not seen the clergy and hunters around her who were instantly alert, and she pointed her gun at Chiara, and there was no emotion in her tone.

"Yes." Kiara's steps moved slowly, and the muzzle of the gun in her hand changed angles. "This is the gun used by Belica (Jah's name in St. Canaan), and she is a very accurate gun, a very rare opponent."

"That's right, so I thought you'd be as sorry for her as she was for you." Qiu Xuan continued with her, "I have only one question, Holy Maiden. How did you manage to kill Ja and Lidgarh in two places at the same time in a very short period of time? ”

"What?"

"What is she talking about, is it the quality control Kiara killing?"

"No, Kiara isn't that kind of person."

Kia opened her mouth, looking a little undigested for a moment. Then she reacted, and the disbelief on her face didn't look like it was pretending.

"You say Ya...... You said Belica, dead?! ”

Qiu Xuan raised his hand, and a body bag instantly appeared out of thin air on the ground. Since Kiara had already shown a bigger hand in front of him before, Chiara's receptivity was quite good now, while the others around her whispered in shock.

Kiara looked at her in disbelief and crouched down and pulled open the body bag little by little. She gasped and covered her mouth and nose, looking dazed.

"What do you want to say?"

Qiu Xuan suddenly took two steps closer and squatted beside Kiara, and where no one could see, she propped up a noise barrier around the two of them. She turned her head to look at the saint with a furrowed brow, and repeated it in a calm tone.

"I'd like to hear what you can do to defend yourself...... Has your 'stopping sin and saving the world' always been based on a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood in another sense? ”

"Not me."

Kiara raised her head suddenly, her eyes staring straight at Qiu Xuan's without hesitation. "I know you may disagree with my approach, and admit that I have a lot of blood on my hands for my own ideas, but I didn't do it."

"Belica didn't kill me, I won't kill her, believe it or not."

Qiu Xuan: "You didn't kill Ya, did you do it?" ”

Kiara: "...... Be. ”

Qiu Xuan lifted her eyelids.

"Because as I said, I will make the unworthy pay the price." Chiara didn't know that the noise barrier was now propping up around them, so from her point of view, she thought she could hear it now, but she said it anyway.

"The Central Church, the General Bureau of Hunters, looks glamorous on the outside, but on the inside it is rotten. There is such a phenomenon everywhere, and all I can do is to do my best to pull down all the people who are not worthy of the corpse in the position, and this is what I believe in 'stopping sin and saving the world'. ”

"So I'll do it again, Seraphim." The look on Kiara's face was familiar to her, "If I kill Lidegar once, I can kill him a second time, and if I kill one Lidegar, I can kill ten thousand Lidegar." Until the day the sweep was over, the blood on my hands prevented me from ascending to the Holy Church, and I would sink into the ground, rooted in the dirt to be the nourishment of the roses. ”

Qiu Xuan stared at her eyes.

"What if there is no such thing as a temple or a god?" The CZ75 pistol she held in her palm had been stained with human body temperature, even though the owner of the gun was lying on the side. "What about your faith, what about your faith?"

"Then recreate a faith."

Kia pulled back her gaze, "Me too, Asaphil, Jemo, or Frey...... The truth that each of us believes in is not based on asking God. The salvation of sin depends on the gun in the hand, and God's love for the world depends on the rose of generosity, this is the meaning of the original concept of the Central Church and the Hunter Bureau, even if God the Father does not exist, with the faith in the hearts of the people of the land, "He" will exist forever. ”

"After the collapse of faith, we are reborn from the ashes of faith."

“……”

"Afu." After a long silence, Kiara swallowed her throat and called her name again as Qiu Xuan had called her name several times before. It is no longer a "seraph", but the "real name" that Qiu Xuan originally used to register cases.

"I know why you doubt me because Jah's death is so similar to that of Lidegar, right? But I can tell you again, Lidegar was the one I killed, Ya wasn't. I don't know why she died, but I'm in the same mood as you, and when this incident is over, I'll find the killer myself. ”

"You don't have to look for it."

Qiu Xuan suddenly waved her hand, and she stood up with her body propped up, with a look of tiredness on her face. "I have one last question, Chiara, can you answer me?"

Kiara said, "Just ask." ”

"Every time we have experienced the spiritual world of the Holy Canaanite patient before, it has been done with your knowledge and acquiescence, right? It was you who were the first to come up with the key to 'seraphs are the medicine'. ”

……

Seraphim walks on the road to the rose garden.

It seemed like she had been gone for a long, long time, and it seemed like she had only been out of the room for a few seconds.

Why should I go to the Rose Garden?

Seraphim thought to himself, but he couldn't figure it out. She always felt as if she had forgotten a lot of things, and she couldn't remember well what she should have remembered in her heart for the rest of her life until she died and brought her to the coffin before she came to St. Canaan.

But she wasn't scared.

Because I'm not alone. The seraph knew that she was not the first seraph in St. Canaan, and most likely not the last, she was just one of the countless "seraphs". She carries a mission that is different from the others, and this mission is accompanied by irreversible memory loss caused by long-term drug use, as previous Seraphim have done.

And the saint told her that she could have a choice.

She can be a seraphim today, and suddenly back down tomorrow and say that she doesn't want to be a seraphim, there is no problem, and no one will blame her for it.

The saint told her that if she chose to become a seraph, she would immediately become a remedy for other patients.

This is a completely confidential implementation plan that has not yet been put into specific production applications, and if it has been tested with a large amount of valid data, then there is hope for a cure for some of today's irreversible mental illnesses.

Seraphim didn't understand some of the technical terms, but it didn't prevent her from seeing the look in the saint's eyes when she said this.

No wonder she's a saint.

Seraphim thought that she had only seen that look in the illustration of the canon in her life, and that illustration was still clear even if it was the key to the decay of her memory now.

The illustration was of a seraph, not a seraphor like theirs, but a flaming angel with a sword and six wings on his back, surrounded by fireworks. In front of the angel is a strange creature from the abyss of the earth, and only its body is surrounded by fireworks, and its gender-neutral face is a contradiction between compassion and killing.

Contradictory, but also stunningly beautiful.

This is the look on the saint's face when she spoke.
