Chapter 56: A Rational Choice

The moment he saw the "Cleaners" team, Benjamin really felt like his eyes were dark. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

He had just been trying to clean up the traces of his magic and try to fool the church. But now, the Church's squad dedicated to hunting down mages has appeared in front of him, which is a great irony.

Once again, Benjamin felt the malice of the world.

Why did you appear here so well? Why did you just appear at this point in time?

Why don't you just fly down with a meteorite next time and smash him to death?

Play a hairy one!

No, calm down, if you don't calm down, you really won't have to play. Calm down, think about it, think about it......

What should he do?

Escape?

But could he really escape? Remembering the speed at which the "Purges" had pursued Michelle, Benjamin did not think he would be able to escape from the group.

That...... Do you want him to fight with this team?

To be honest, even if it is a team of paladins, Benjamin may not be able to beat, let alone a team of "cleaners"?

After escaping from Michelle, he also learned a lot about the "purges". The "Cleaners" are specially trained squads selected from among the paladins. Compared to ordinary paladins, the biggest difference between them is that they have all learned divine arts, and there are some special ways to combine attacks.

Stripped of their aura, they were, in a way, the most skilled and well-trained paladins.

It doesn't seem to be that powerful, but ......

How superb their magic was, and how powerful their combined attacks were? Benjamin didn't know how jealous Michelle was of them, and how confident the church was in them.

Therefore, there is no difference between fighting hard and sending them to death.

Neither running nor fighting, Benjamin was pointed with a sword by the "cleaners" in the distance, and the adrenaline was about to report. In this short period of time, he was like a terminally ill cancer patient who rushed to the doctor, his brain was like a pot of porridge, desperately trying to stir something out of it.

What to do......

Suddenly, he looked at the body of the scarred man on the ground and had a plan.

The Cleaner is able to sense magic within a certain radius, but ...... That doesn't mean they know who a mage is. At least, listening to what they just said, they didn't determine Benjamin's mage identity.

There is no way, the time has come to divide the pot, and this pot can only be carried by the dead.

Thinking like this, he pointed to the body of the scar man, and suddenly spoke: "This is this person, he is the leader of the bandits of North Mountain, he escaped after that siege, he ...... It's actually an evil mage. ā€

Although this idea was just a helpless move in a hurry, since he opened his mouth, he couldn't show the slightest weakness.

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills!

Hearing this, the purge at the head frowned, glanced at the corpse on the ground, and also showed a look of surprise. It seems that they have also heard of the robbers of Mount North.

He exchanged glances with a few of the cleaners beside him.

"Your Excellency, can you calm your emotions and tell us the whole story?" he said, looking back at Benjamin.

Benjamin took a deep breath, ostensibly stabilizing his emotions, but in reality began to work hard to weave lies.

He felt that he was simply Cao Zhi who was writing a seven-step poem, his brain was running rapidly, and his acting skills exploded. In the blink of an eye, he really made up a brand new story:

"I ...... My valet hadn't been back all day, and I was a little worried, so I came out to look for him. It turned out to be this man, who tricked my servant into going to Bonnie's Tavern and leading me there. The Paladin-sama was also killed by him to protect me. In a frightened tone, he said slowly, "I didn't know why he wanted to arrest me at first, but then I ...... He brought me here, and I found out...... I found out he was the witch's man! The witch taught him magic and told him to get me!"

"The witch?" the purge at the head frowned and thought for a moment, and asked, "Is it the witch who kidnapped you last time?"

Benjamin nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, that's it! Michelle, I'll never forget her name." I listened to the bishop's orders, and did not do what the witch said in the letter, but she did not expect that she would let such a robber come and arrest me!"

Hearing this, several of the cleaners exchanged thoughtful glances.

Benjamin could feel that when they looked at him, there was a lot less guard and suspicion in their eyes.

It seems that Benjamin's story is not badly written. He also linked the plot to Michelle's letter to him, which added a lot of credibility.

His wrists, which were a little numb from nervousness, were finally less stiff.

"Lord Reese, did you kill this degenerate?" asked the purge again.

Benjamin nodded and replied, "He was very proud of killing the Paladin, and he didn't know that I still had a gun with me. These days I have been studying in the gun camp of the Kingdom Army, and when he negligently turned around, I took out the gun, and he was also very alert, and immediately turned around, and I fired, and then ...... And then he became what he is now. I was afraid that the gunfire would lure his men over, and I was just about to leave here with Jeremy when you came. ā€

The part of the anti-killing scar man is a more dramatic part. Benjamin could only try to describe as many details as possible to make the story sound a little more realistic.

But in such a short period of time, how many details can he pull out?

In this way, after making up the whole story, he was also very uncertain. He didn't know if the story would convince the cleaners, let alone the entire church.

"I see. Thankfully, the Cleanser nodded, less hostile than he had when he was first confronted, and continued, "Lord Reese, this matter has involved the sacrifice of the Fallen and a Paladin, and we can't make decisions at will. Could you please come with us to the church again and meet the Bishop?"

When Benjamin heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I'd love to see the Bishop again. ā€

This is already expected. As long as mages and magic are involved, the church will definitely catch people and smoke their brains. Benjamin is considered to be a three-entry palace, so naturally he will not be surprised.

When he first started making up the story, he had already asked the system to quickly fake the memory. Although the system still looked reluctant, but the situation was urgent, and it obediently listened to Benjamin's words.

If reading memory is the most relied on and trusted means of the church, then Benjamin can even say that he has completely survived today's turmoil!

No way, the bishop trusted the memories he read too much.

However, as with everything that happens to Benjamin, the unexpected always happens. The flag is all set, and the reversal will definitely come in the next second.

"Thank you for your cooperation. Wait, Lord Reese. Even after death, the Fallen will have a powerful evil force attached to their bodies. I'll dispose of this fallen corpse first, and when I'm done, I'll take you back to church right away. ā€

The leader of the cleaners said this as he walked towards the body of the scar man.

What is that?

Benjamin's heart swelled up with a very bad premonition.

This scar man is not a mage, and there is no "powerful evil force" on his corpse. If the cleaners found this out while disposing of the body......

Then there is no doubt about the answer.

There are only three people here, Benjamin Jeremy Scar Man, Scar Man is not a mage, Jeremy is unconscious, and the Cleaner has just sensed magic here...... As a result, the only truth will emerge in the psyche of every cleanser.

They will purify Benjamin on the spot.

Damn, how can these people still have such a hand? Why didn't anyone tell him that an autopsy could tell if a person was a mage or not?

I'm going to die......

Soon, the purge in the lead walked to the side of Scar Man, and also became very close to Benjamin. He nodded at Benjamin and crouched down, ready to begin examining Scar's body.

What to do?

Countless thoughts crossed Benjamin's mind.

This purge has already entered the attack range of the ice needle, kill him now?

Benjamin was so confident in the power of the ice needle that even a cleaner would not be able to stop it. But even if he kills the purgeer, what about the thirteen left?

That's right, the purge has always been known for its wholeness, and without the captain, the combat ability of the entire squad will drop a lot. But even then, will he be able to beat the rest of the purges? Will he be able to escape from their grasp?

In this short moment, two thoughts, despair and madness, were constantly intertwined in Benjamin's mind. He even felt his body being torn in half, half of it telling him to hurry up, and the other half telling him to give up, he was dead, and he was still struggling.

If he has enough time, he can still calm down, weigh the pros and cons, and come up with a better way. But now, he didn't even have time to hesitate.

In the blink of an eye, the strong desire to survive once again prevailed.

Fuck it, fight it!

Fight together, and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle. The cleanser is also a human being, and if it is a human being, it will have weaknesses, and if there is weakness, it will be defeated.

Just as he was about to use magic to eliminate the Cleaners he was leading first, a sudden change interrupted all his actions and stopped the progress of the Captain Cleaners inspecting the corpse.

"I've finally found you, quick, the bishop told you to go back, something happened to the church!"

Suddenly, a paladin ran in through the entrance to the sewer and shouted at the cleaners.
