Chapter 68: Pressure Release

"Immunity to Pollution"

In fact, as early as after experiencing the ghoul incident, Han Dong had some suspicions about this unusual 'passive skill'.

At that time, the tiny tentacles that appeared on the ghoul's body surface, Han Dong saw it.

Such a soft wriggling whisker is a little similar to the tentacles that can grow in Han Dong's palm.

But.

Such evil creatures are afraid of holy water.

Han Dong couldn't go directly to the local church to ask for holy water, what if he reacted to the sacred statue in the church? Coupled with the tight schedule, Han Dong has not taken the time to verify this.

Therefore, the matter of checking if you have reacted to the holy water has been put off until now.

A mouthful of holy water in the belly.

Not only did there be no discomfort or pain...... On the contrary, I was refreshed, and there was no discomfort at all.

This also allowed the stone that was pressing on Han Dong's heart to be put down.

…………

The safety management of the holy city is actually divided into several layers.

The Public Security Bureau is only the most superficial and coarse layer, and its role is mainly to solve some civil disputes...... There is a real danger that must be solved by the knights.

The second layer is the Church and the Secret Knight Intelligence Stronghold set up in each area.

They assist the Cadet Knights on missions in the area, have professional personnel to review events in the area, and occasionally have Knights stationed within the Church.

The churches of the streets of London are united with Paul's Cathedral, the largest in the area.

At the moment, all members of the Cass team are here.

The priest performs a 'purification' ritual to remove the contamination from the two tainted probationary knights.

The holy light passed through the top glass of the church and fell vertically on Han Dong and the two people.

A feeling of warmth spreads through the body.

Han Dong even felt that if he was really injured, when he was bathed in such holy light, his injuries would inevitably recover in a short period of time.

And it also argues an important point.

Han Dong is not the slightest bit repulsive to these sacred attributes, and is as affinity as other humans.

The filthy liquid that had been applied around Han Dong's eye sockets volatilized and disappeared on its own under the light of the Holy Light...... It looks like the 'pollution' has really been removed.

The ceremony is not over yet.

After bathing in the light, the priest handed each of them a leather whip to the private room at the back of the church.

"Go and release the stress."

"Pressure Relief"

Fortunately, in this week's study, in addition to plague studies, Han Dong also took the time to check some 'basic knowledge'...... There are follow-up 'treatments' after contamination.

No matter what level of contamination it suffers.

After the 'pollution' has been removed by sacred means, a 'pressure release' must be carried out.

In the early days of the Holy City, when humans discovered that the Holy Light Spell could dispel 'pollution', they did not realize this, and did not consider the spiritual burden of those who had suffered from visual pollution.

Some of the ostensibly healed knights went on their journey to fight the 'High Beings'.

Back and forth many times to be healed by the Holy Light.

But the mental pressure in the head has never been completely released.

This directly led to the [Death of the Holy City] incident that occurred in the eighty years, causing panic throughout the city.

In just one day, a total of 38 probationary knights and 12 knights all hanged themselves in front of their homes...... In the next three days, nearly 100-meter riders committed suicide.

The strength of the Holy City was drastically reduced, and even the elders of the Council could not sit still, and temporarily issued the "Draft Decree on the Surveillance of Knights", requiring all probationary knights or knights in the Holy City to monitor each other, and those who prevented suicide could receive high rewards.

At the same time, the investigation of suicides is accelerated.

Autopsies and hypnotic questioning of knights with suicidal intent.

When they were autopsied, it was found that the knight who had committed suicide had multiple severe nail scratches on his body, and some even had his tongue cut off.

All kinds of unbelievable self-harm are their own doing.

That's when people realized the problem of "stress".

Even if the pollution is dispelled by the Light, the horrific images that echo in the mind can invisibly cause "stress" to the individual (sleeping, meditating, or seeing similar individuals, etc.).

This is different from the ordinary stress of life, and it can be defined as a new mental illness that is extremely fatal.

Knights who fight against higher beings or their subordinate creatures must receive sufficient "stress release" after being healed by the Holy Light.

'Self-flagellation' is one of the most effective and primitive methods.

Later, humans also discovered that there is a certain relationship between "stress release" and their own habits.

Some drunkards can relieve stress by 'hangover',

Some gluttonous guys can decompress with a hearty meal,

Some top students can even pass an exam to decompress,

Of course, some guys who like to drive can also decompress through a hearty battle.

The simplest and most effective way to do this is to perform self-flogging in the confessional of the church.

Han Dong and Koslin's confessional chamber is separated by only one wall.

The sound of heavy whipping came into Han Dong's ears, and it was obvious that Koslin was not polite to him at all, and it was estimated that each whip could tear off the epidermis together.

However, it is necessary...... Kosling's 'contamination' this time is not light.

As for Han Dong, he slammed the ground with a leather whip and pretended to vent.

About half an hour.

Koslin walked out and was quickly healed by Sophia's holy light.

As for Han Dong, he was wearing a strict "bird's beak doctor costume", saying that he had already drunk the restorative potion himself, and it was not a big problem.

…………

Underneath the church is a secret knightly intelligence base on the streets of London.

There are staff members directly affiliated with the National Royal Knight Academy, who provide free services to the cadet knights.

The staff of the intelligence base undergo weekly 'spiritual inspections', and the location is directly below the church, so there is no need to worry about them being controlled.

The sack, containing the old woman, has been handed over to the professionals here.

When the time comes, a detailed 'physical examination' report will be generated and handed over to the people.

Inside the box.

After hearing about the horrors that had taken place in the old woman's house, Cass's expression became solemn.

"When prepared, just one glance at the diary was heavily contaminated.

The old lady's building is two blocks away from the place of the incident. It seems that the old woman's mutation must have originated from his sudden death of his son.

It's really good that you can respond in time and capture the target alive. ”

"It's all up to Andwa friends." Koslin praised Han Dong again.

"Let's discuss the details when the old lady's report comes out...... Actually, we have found it here, and it is even more serious. ”

"There's a problem with the files of the police station?" Koslin asked curiously.

"No...... I suspect there is something wrong with the entire police substation, but there is no conclusive evidence yet. ”

As soon as these words came out, Koslin and Han Dong were shocked.

"What's going on?"

"The security officers who have been to the place of the incident are by no means the only one who died suddenly...... The Baker family's mansion has its own back garden, covering an area of more than 800 square meters, plus such a serious murder occurred.

It is impossible for the police substation to send only one person to investigate, at least 30% of the personnel have been to the scene, or even more.

I suspect that the police substation has been covertly controlled. ”
