Chapter 42: Serial Murder

The hall was dark, and only the moonlight shining through the windows could bring some light. At the end of the main hall are stairs, and above the stairs is a blood-colored throne.

A figure shrouded in darkness sat on the throne, and its right hand struck the throne rhythmically, making a thumping sound, which was extremely noticeable in the silent hall.

"Fourteenth, is it finally coming up again?" the figure muttered to himself, and at the end, he chuckled.

"Oh, when those guys pushed me out of the inner world and threw me into the watch world, weren't they just worried that I would be a rival in the fourteenth position?

The fourteenth, this position should have been mine, and the woman who came out of nowhere just took away what should have belonged to me. Now, I'll get it back with my own hands. ”

As the voice fell, with the figure as the center, countless black shadows swept out, squeezing out the only few moonlights, leaving only a hall full of darkness.

............

"Yay! it worked!" Bernadette was very happy with a little bear puppet, and her eyes were bent into a lovely crescent, which was very cute.

"Alright then, let's go. I put the rest of the game currency in my hand back to the silver counter, and Bernadette and I slowly walked out of the mall with the daily necessities and ingredients I had purchased under the "scorching" gaze of the waiter.

"Now, don't you think I'm annoying in the summer. As she walked, Bernadette said suddenly.

I was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled why she asked this question, thinking that it would be difficult for a girl like her to believe that others would have a nasty emotion towards her.

"No, why do you ask?"

Bernadette breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "That's great, I was too excited just now, I didn't notice that you didn't look happy in the summer, so I'm worried about whether it will cause you trouble." ”

"It's not bothering, but I'm a little puzzled, Bernadette, why do you act like you've never seen these things?" According to my guess, since Bernadette was able to serve as the acting bishop of a branch of a key city, his status in the church headquarters would not be too low, and it was too strange that he was very curious about everything.

"Because, this is the first time I've actually been out into the world. Bernadette blinked her big bright eyes as she looked in the direction of the sun gradually setting with a glint called joy in her eyes.

"The outside world?" I subconsciously thought of Bernadette as a creature of the inner world.

"Hmm. Bernadette nodded and said with a smile: "I, ah, was born in a small village in the Nordic countryside. Because I was abandoned by my parents as soon as I was born, I grew up in a church welfare home. Later, when he was discovered to have the ability to heal the injuries of others, he was arranged to work in the church. It wasn't until last week that I received an appointment to be the acting bishop of the branch in City S, and here I am.

Although I had occasionally been out of the church headquarters before this, I had always been in a hurry, going, and coming back in a hurry, and I couldn't even enjoy the scenery along the way. You can only learn about the outside world by a computer, which is why I'm so excited. If you have been troubled just now, Bernadette asks for your forgiveness. Bernadette said, bowing to me.

"Huh?" Bernadette looked up, only to find that there was no one in front of her.

"Let's go, let's go, the sun is about to set, don't expect me to wait for you. Besides, I didn't say you were bothering me. ”

"Hmm. Bernadette trotted over, reaching for my sleeve.

"If you don't wait for me, I'll catch you. Bernadette smiled at me.

The smile is like a blooming white lotus, pure and immaculate, so beautiful that people can't help but sigh at its purity. But at the same time, it makes people sigh, how long can such a pure smile exist in this muddy world?

On the way back, I kept wondering, what is the purpose of the church doing this, what is the purpose of letting a girl who is just like a blank slate, take over such a dangerous position, so that she can influence the enemy, or do I hope to use her beauty to reawaken the dead heart of the branch church?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shake my head, what does this have to do with me. She is a member of the Church, and I am the True Ancestor of the Bloodline, the most faithful believer in the God of Living, and the cursed Children of the Night who have rebelled against the God of the Bible.

The two sides were on opposite sides from the beginning, and Bernadette and I are in a very small minority after all. And this situation is destined to change slowly, for example, when Bernadette knew that I was the True Ancestor of the Blood Clan......

When I opened the door, I found Sophia sitting in the living room, using her communication bracelet to process documents. The reason why I use the word actually is because since this week, Sophia and Lin Ruoqian have been very busy, almost every day outside, and there is no time to come back.

As for why Bernadette and I didn't go out to do things, the reason is very simple, one is busy recovering his body and stabilizing his strength, and the other is a foreigner, with his own innocent and road idiot attributes. So after Lin Ruoqian and Sophia decided, let me and Bernadette stay here, anyway, there are not many of us and there are not many of us, and there are no two of us.

Sophia closed the communication bracelet when she noticed us coming in, and smiled, "Coming back?"

"Hmm. I nodded, "Why are you free to come back today?"

Sophia tiredly pushed her hair behind her ears and pointed to Lin Ruoqian's room, "It's not just me, Lin Ruoqian is also back." It's just that she's too tired these days, and she's sleeping. ”

"Tired?" I glanced at Lin Ruoqian's door suspiciously, and said suspiciously: "Isn't your mission to be responsible for patrolling? It stands to reason that there should be no major event now, right? Why are you so tired lately?"

Sophia said with a distressed expression: "It was true at the beginning, the city was peaceful, and the reconstruction plan was going well. But since this week, some corpses have often been found in the city, and the manpower of our student council and the discipline committee has been reluctant enough to patrol the city, and they can only be done by relying on fairy magic and magic.

Now that this is happening, there is no shortage of manpower all of a sudden. At present, the number of dead people is as high as twenty, and the pressure is increasing day by day. ”

"That's it. I frowned, this fact should not have happened. Now the entire S City is in ruins, and basically 90% of the mythical creatures have been cleansed except for ordinary life. Shouldn't this situation be a rhythmic process of urban reconstruction, and then slowly return to its former prosperity, and finally make such a serial murder case with supernatural properties?

This or this group of murderers played their cards so unreasonably, directly skipped so many steps, and committed crimes against the wind.

Don't ask what to say about committing crimes against the wind, now S City is being rebuilt, and the defensive force is empty, but because of this, the league attaches great importance to it, and making trouble at this time is not a crime against the wind.

"Today, it is also because of the alliance that a group of alliance members came to help with urban reconstruction and patrol defense work, and Lin Ruoqian and I had the opportunity to come back to rest. ”
