That bloody night, the turmoil between humans, vampires, and werewolves has long since ended, but the aftermath of the turmoil has continued to spread like cancer in this seemingly robust body called the "Central Church". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The holy city, the "City of Myths", has long lost its former prosperity and prosperity. It's not just war. With the financial resources of the Central Church, it is easy to rebuild the city that was destroyed by the war, but it will not happen overnight to regain the lost support of the people.

The plan of the Central Church to secretly resurrect the werewolves, and the development and growth of the organization of the Truth Society under the nose of the Holy See, these two shocking scandals have made the sacred Holy See no longer as noble and authoritative in the eyes of the people as before, and the prestige of the Holy See has plummeted, and the centripetal force has gradually lost.

The Papal Dominion is a predominantly immigrant polity, and its people, most of whom are secular people from all over the world, who have moved thousands of miles from their homeland to the Papal Dominion out of devotion to faith and worship of theocracy, priding themselves on being closest to God, but when the halo fades, the former sense of glory is gone. The people's consideration of the question of going or staying is more about giving priority to their own interests.

If the Central Church had been able to take measures to quickly stabilize the situation and restore order after the Holy City Rebellion, the current "City of Myths" would still be a prosperous and holy city.

However, due to the Holy Death of the Pope in the turmoil, the Cardinal has become the actual ruler of the leaderless Central Church, at least in the core world of the Holy See, I don't know if it is for the purpose of long-term power, now more than 4 months have passed, the Cardinal has not elected a new pope, so the legitimacy of the Cardinal's rule has been questioned legally, the Holy See has gradually fallen apart, and the local churches have their own affairs.

Moreover, the College of Cardinals is not monolithic. The four cardinals in charge of the cardinal, with the exception of Hrabino the "Holy Flame", who died in the war, were evenly matched, so the cardinal was in relative "unity". But it is not enough to maintain the balance by relying on superficial strength, because there will always be a time when strength will come and go, and once the balance of power changes, the balance will be defeated. For a longer-term reason, the three cardinals agreed that they needed a common and powerful enemy.

Before his death, the Pope made a prophecy about the existence of the Truth Society and the fact that it was hidden within the Central Synod;

In the name of eradicating the hidden truth of the Holy See, the College of Cardinals established a temporary investigative and inquisitive body, called the "Purifier", which gave it unprecedented powers, even above the Inquisition and the Knights Templar, and even the former Papal Guard became the object of investigation by the Purifiers.

Since it is said that the Truth Society is to be eradicated, there must be a breakthrough. The primary subject of the investigation was an archbishop, Sandwise . When the Purifier arrested St. Dwyth in his home, a large number of books about Lucifer, the leader of the fallen angels, were found in his home, and although Sandwise repeatedly argued that they were not his, but had been deliberately planted in his home, they had no effect at all. Whether he is a member of the Truth Society or not, one thing is true, and that is that he is the head of the Werewolf Resurrection Project. Both werewolves and the Truth Society are haters, so being the head of the Werewolf Resurrection Project and being investigated as a suspect of the Truth Society is something that most people like to hear. Thus, Sandwise Archbishop, who dedicated his life to the Central Church, became the first Truth bandit to be guillotined.

Subsequently, with Sandwise as the center, the Purifiers launched a spider-web-like diffusion reconnaissance. They built a large number of interrogation chambers on St. Pope's Island, from which screams were heard day and night, and the brutality and severity of their torture made the Inquisition, once known for its brutality, ashamed. Although torture was often practised by the inquisitors of the Inquisition, they placed more emphasis on evidence, and the existence of torture was only one of the methods by which evidence was gathered. But the Purifiers are a group of laymen who do not know the methods of interrogation other than torture, and those who are caught in the interrogation room have only two ends: either they cannot survive the torture and die under the torture instruments, or they are tortured into confessions and confess that they are the Truth Society.

But whether these people are dead or not, they will be convicted of being the Truth Society. However, it would be a mistake to think that a confession would allow one to escape torture, because those who confessed were tortured and required to confess their accomplices. Many people are anxious to exonerate themselves, and they casually make up an excuse to "confess" to the people around them, and it is extremely unknown how many wrong, false and unjust cases have been caused.

For more than four months, the Papal Dominion has been enveloped in a "holy terror". Even if you don't count the local churches, on Pope Island alone, a total of 110,000 people were arrested by the purifiers on charges of being suspects of the Truth Society, excluding those who died in the interrogation room, more than 40,000 people confessed their crimes, and destroyed more than 2,000 strongholds accused of being the Truth Society, and the people involved, from the temple to the administration to the people, civilians, merchants, soldiers, priests, and even the holy officials of the Inquisition, the upright knights of the Knights Templar, were not spared.

Such fruitful "achievements" make the "woods" espionage network case, which caused a sensation not long ago, seem clumsy in comparison.

However, how many of these people are the true Truth Society will always be a mystery.

This purge, which later came to be known as the "Holy Terror", caused panic in the Papal Dominions. Everyone was worried that the next minute, the Purifier would break into the door and take himself and his family away. As a result, St. Papal Island, which has been a holy place for parishioners in secular countries for thousands of years, has seen a rare wave of refugees. Every day, hundreds of ships full of people flee their homes and return to their former homes in secular countries. On several occasions, there were tragic incidents due to overloading of ships, which sank as soon as they left the sea, and thousands of people died at the bottom of the sea.

In order to prevent a massive exodus of people and wealth, the Cardinal Council ordered the Knights' Knights Templar's "Sea of Miracles" legion to blockade all shores of St. Papal Island, prohibiting any ships from going to sea, and killing those who fled. When the Sea of Miracles refused to carry out such inhumane orders, the Purifiers arrested their legionary leader, Pafila Siru, and held a paladin hostage to threaten the Sea of Miracles into carrying out the order.

After an iron-fisted crackdown, the flow of refugees was finally suppressed. However, the loss of popular support cannot be contained. As long as the "holy terror" is not over for a day, the fear in the hearts of the people will be transformed into anger, which will be stored little by little until one day it finally explodes!

However, it is not enough to simply wave a broom violently to clean up the garbage, and sometimes it is often just a mess of one's own belongings, and the dirt may not be removed.

Inside the Papal Palace, under the noses of the College of Cardinals, the long-defunct Werewolf Resurrection Project is still in progress. The Cardinals and their purifiers are blind to this.

This incomparably spacious, well-equipped secret laboratory has enough supplies to store enough supplies for more than 100 researchers to eat, drink, and sleep in it for three years. At the beginning, when the Truth Society fooled the Central Church into launching the werewolf resurrection project, in addition to the research facilities on the surface, it took nearly 200 years to build this secret laboratory buried 25 meters deep in the ground, successively hiding from eight popes.

Although the Purifiers destroyed all the relevant research settings, burned the archives, and slaughtered all the test subjects when the Werewolf Resurrection Project was abolished, in fact, the core, most critical, and most important research equipment, archives, and experimental objects were all transferred to this secret laboratory in advance. The Werewolf Resurrection Project is still well under way and has not been hindered in any way.

In the middle of the laboratory, there is a large glass-sealed petri dish. A naked girl was soaking in the nutrient solution of a petri dish, asleep. Around the petri dish, more than 20 researchers are closely observing and recording the changes in the girl.

Among these researchers, there is a thin man, his cheekbones are high, his face looks like a nutritional **, his eyes are sunken inward, as if he is careless because of lack of sleep, but in fact he is faintly gloomy and introverted, his skin is yellow, and his limbs are as thin as dry wood, as if the wind blows, the whole body will be rolled up, coughing twice from time to time, and he looks sick. However, this person is the supreme authority of this laboratory, and he is also the person in charge of the werewolf resurrection project.

The executed archbishop Sandwise was only the person in charge of the werewolf resurrection project from the Central Church, and under Sandwise's nose, there was another person in charge hidden in the shadows, even Sandwise himself did not know. He is a cadre from the ninth level of the Order of Truth, the "Leader of the Canopy", and a very low-key, unobtrusive priest in the Council of Cardinals: Mukasha.

On the night of turmoil in the holy city, where people, blood, and wolves were fighting, Mukasha went to war with Hrabeno the "Holy Flame", but he was never seen again. Mukasha's blood-stained robes and a small number of broken human bones were later found near the place where Hrabeno had died, leading everyone to believe that Mukasha had been eaten by werewolves during the battle. In fact, he had already received orders from the higher echelons of the Truth Society to transfer the werewolf resurrection project and hide it.

The sleeping girl in the nutrient solution, the corners of her eyes trembled slightly, and her fingers flicked, and then, her eyes opened a slit, and she saw a light that she hadn't seen for more than four months.

The girl's awakening caused a soft cry from the surrounding researchers. However, Mukasha, as the supreme leader, is still expressionless.

Thirty minutes later, the girl was pushed into Mukasha's office in a wheelchair by two researchers. She had not moved her hands and feet for more than four months, making it difficult for her to even stand. At this time, the girl was still drenched, but she was already wrapped in a blanket to cover her shame.

"You...... What are you?" the girl asked in trepidation.

Her language function was not fully restored.

"I am your savior. ”

"Benefactor?"

"That's right. Little Sister Jana, this is the first time we have met for you. In fact, I have been paying attention to you two brothers and sisters for more than ten years, and you have never left my sight since you were a child. Mukasha put down the stack of documents in his hand, looked at the girl deeply, and replied.

"Brother?!How is my brother?"

"He's dead. ”

"Dead, no ......," tears welled up in the corners of the girl's eyes. Although she had long expected the fate of their siblings, when she heard the news with her own ears, the sadness in her heart still occupied the largest part of her emotions.

"But it is precisely because of his death that you are given a chance to live. ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about. ”

"Your heart is penetrated and completely loses its original function. I took your brother's heart from his corpse and replaced it for you, and you came back to life. ”

Hearing this, Janna suddenly remembered what had happened before she lost consciousness......

Jana, who was a student at the Founding Evangelical Seminary at the time, used deception to chop off the finger of a fat magician, take it along with the ring on his finger and escape, but she didn't have to flee far before she was shot through the heart with a bow and arrow by one of the fat magician's companions, and before she could lose consciousness, she threw her finger with the ring at a wolf......

"Brother......

Janna pressed her hand to her heart, feeling the knotted heartbeat, which belonged to her brother Luan. The siblings hadn't seen each other since Luan had been taken away from her as a werewolf test subject years earlier, and they hadn't imagined that today's reunion would be like this.

"Luan is our chosen werewolf leader, and you, as the closest person to him, have all the power of Luan after transplanting his heart. In other words, you are now the new werewolf leader. ”

"Don't say any more! I'm not going to do anything for you anymore. Jaina retorted categorically.

At the beginning, Lu An was in order to allow Jaanna to survive as a normal person, so he volunteered to become an experiment subject of werewolves and undergo all kinds of inhumane experiments. Now that her brother is gone, Jaanna has no relatives in this miserable world, she has lost the motivation to continue to survive, and even if she is killed on the spot, she has no nostalgia.

"Don't get me wrong. I'm not the Central See, and I'm not going to force you to do anything. Just give you another one first. If you want to live like a normal person, you can leave at any time, and if you want to die, it's a very simple thing. However, you have a more worthwhile option: to avenge your brother!"

"What! revenge?"

Seeing Jana's reaction, Mukasha knew that he had provoked her will to survive, and he was not in a hurry, coughed dryly twice, waved his hand to let the other two researchers out, and then said unhurriedly: "The murderer of your brother Luan is the vampire prince Dekra." The Prince of Vampire has died with Luan, but his companions and accomplices are still alive. ”

"Speak quickly, where is my enemy?"

"I'm under no obligation to tell you. ”

"So, you tell me what to do. As long as I can avenge my brother, I am willing to do anything. ”

Excited, Janena suddenly stood up from her wheelchair, and she didn't even care if the wrapped blanket slipped to the ground.

"Clever girl. You finally know what a 'deal' is. Mukasha walked up to Jana, picked up the blanket on the floor, and put it back on the unhung girl's body, while shoving a piece of paper into her hand, "If you want to know who your enemy is, help me do one thing first: get rid of this traitor in the portrait." ”
