Led by the priest, the group arrived at a remote corner of the cemetery behind the temple of Tyre, which was covered with greenery and looked quite comfortable. In the corner of the cemetery, Duanmu Huai saw a small tombstone and a small tomb.

There are also inscriptions on it.

[Poor Lisa, she didn't even have time to open her eyes to see the world, may she rest in peace]

"You still have names?"

"Of course."

The priest nodded.

"The soul of the dead without a name cannot go where it is supposed to go......... Of course, it's hard to say whether it has a soul or not. ”

"Okay."

Duanmu Huai didn't say anything, then he stepped forward, raised his right hand, and under the control of the gravity glove, he saw that the soil quickly turned over, and then a small coffin emerged from it, Duanmu Huai put it next to it, and then moved his fingers slightly, and opened the lid of the coffin.

A disgusting breath emerged from it, and upon closer inspection, a corpse of a baby that had begun to decompose could be seen inside.

"Woo..............."

Seeing the corpse and smelling the stench of decay, Ann and Gurella couldn't help but take a few steps back, and although Mary frowned, she didn't dodge.

"Aren't you afraid? Miss Mary? ”

Seeing that Mary was still buried in her notebook, Ann cautiously asked, while Mary hesitated.

"Actually......... I've seen a lot of similar things in our world, and I've seen a lot of them with Mr. Duanmu........."

The Outer Gods and the Old Rulers were far more disgusting than the rotting babies in front of her, and Mary felt numb.

"Your world isn't having a good time........."

Hearing Mary's answer, Ann looked at her sympathetically and was speechless.

Duanmu Huai didn't care about the little girl next to him, he stared carefully at the baby corpse in front of him and looked at it.

Although some places have begun to decay, it can be seen that the baby's body has traces similar to those of wild beasts, such as its fingers are not as fat as ordinary babies, but rather dry and thin, which is not due to malnutrition, but more similar to the form of eagle talons, and through investigation, it has been found that it has a mouthful of sharp teeth in its mouth. The toes also exhibit hoof-like forks.

Well......... By the standards of the court, the proper alien did not run away.

In fact, generally speaking, the judge also relies on teeth to determine whether the alien is alien, of course, if you say that you have lost a tooth, it must not count, but if you are born with a sharp tooth, then you have been completely expelled from the court, and it belongs to the type that can be burned directly on the spot.

Because it's clear that ——— result of subspace erosion.

Beastmen-like.

Duanmu Huai remembered the beastmen in the world of the novice village, those beastmen were the result of the mutation of babies because of the wind of magic, they were bipedal creatures with beast characteristics, and they worshipped chaos and evil gods by nature. In the novice village, the beastmen belong to the proper chaos camp, and they will be killed when they see it.

So judging from this sign, giants, orcs, goblins, and the like in this world have all been excluded from the scope of human beings, and the teeth and mutated huge skulls alone already indicate that they are no longer human.

Well, the physical mutation is understandable, but the problem is that there is no soul.........

Duanmu Huai looked at the magic advisor next to him.

"What do you guys think about that?"

"Hey...............?"

In the face of Duanmu Huai's inquiry, Ann and Gu Leiya obviously showed embarrassed expressions, and then they discussed in a low voice for a moment, and then it seemed that they had made a decision.

"Generally speaking, whether babies have souls or not is actually a very difficult subject to study."

"Why, do you mean babies are soulless until they are born?"

"Uh......... I can't say the same thing, but according to the records of the Academy, there is a discussion about this, some people think that the newborn soul enters the mother's body, so it becomes pregnant, and some people believe that the baby does not actually have a soul before it is born, just like the fingers or hair that grow on the human body, and it is not until the first cry of birth that the soul completely enters the body. ”

"Do you think it's possible?"

"I'm not an expert in soul science..............."

Ann spread her hands.

"I'm going to have to go to the local area to find out, at least for now, we can't come to a conclusion."

"And what does Tyel think?"

Getting no answer from An, Duanmu Huai looked at the priest.

"You should have consulted Tyre."

"The God of Justice has not answered our call."

"That's what Tyre doesn't know........."

"Uh..............."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's self-talk, the priest's expression was a little embarrassed, but Duanmu Huai didn't care.

By the way, Duanmu Huai did not intend to rely on faith to expand the Inquisition to accept believers, for the simple reason that once ——— power of faith was collected, it was equivalent to having a designated object to worship.

For example, the god of justice, Tyr, everyone knows that he is the god of justice, and it is also known that he lost his right hand, and is a very clear image of the god, so when the believer prays, the power of faith will flow to the god of justice, Tyr, and become his power. Of course, this is how both good and evil gods operate.

To put it bluntly, for example, the gods on the continent of Faeron are actually equivalent to the bosses who open a company, the powerful divine power is a multinational enterprise, and the weak divine power is a local chain store. The so-called god war is actually similar to a business war, trying to defeat the other company, annex it, and expand itself.

Like the god of murder, the prince of lies, Shirek, also made up a Xirui Sutra for himself, the content is nothing more than that Shirek is the only great true god, and the others are all pseudo-gods, which is essentially the same as pouring black water on the other party in the business war and saying that the goods of other companies are all copycats, and only you are officially authorized to be genuine.

And Duanmuhuai's trial court is not like this, the trial court is more like a robber, your company is opened, Lao Tzu rushed directly into it, and then swept away all the money you have worked so hard to save, and finally set fire to your company......... That's what Duanmu Huai did to Rose.

And the reason why Duanmu Huai did this is because......... He didn't intend to rely on the power of faith.

The reason is simple, faith requires a name.

For example, if someone believes in Duanmu Huai, they should pray to "Duanmu Huai, the god of destruction, give me strength!" I'm He-Man———! ”

Oh, wrong, Duanmu is not Duanmu Locust's name in this world——— to be exact, it is ID.

That's right, Duanmu Huai's ID is [Little Hammer Hammer Hammer Hit Your Braincase].

Therefore, if there is a believer of the God of Destruction who wants to call Duanmu Huai, he must shout, "God of Destruction, smash your skull with a small hammer and give me power!" I'm He-Man———! ”

………………………

Well, so Duanmu Huai thinks that there is nothing wrong with being a robber.

Once again, the importance of having a proper name is demonstrated.

By the way, in fact, the Inquisition is not so much a robber as an underworld, smashing and looting while lending usury to the other party, and the other party uses the services of the Inquisition, which means that the soul is bound by the Inquisition, and after death, the soul automatically returns to the Inquisition.

Well, a proper overlord clause, but there is a word first, whether you listen or not is your own business.

However, Duanmu Huai does not intend to rob believers with other gods in this world.

The efficiency of fighting a business war or something is too low, or directly robbing the company to make money quickly, the so-called horse has no night grass and no fertilizer, and people have no windfall and no wealth.

Aren't there so many local gods in this world waiting to be robbed by themselves?

Well, gossip.

"Thank you."

Duanmu Huai put the baby's body back in the coffin, and then nodded to the priest.

"We will continue to investigate the matter......... By the way, as for this corpse, I personally recommend that it be burned as soon as possible, it has been eroded by Chaos, and just by placing it here, it may have a bad effect on the surrounding environment. ”

"This ..............."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's suggestion, the priest hesitated, but she was silent for a moment and nodded.

"Well, I'll make a proposal, and I guess Tyre doesn't want this child to exist in such a blasphemous posture, and it might be better to die in the flames."

After confirming that this was indeed subspace erosion, Duanmu Huai left Deep Water City with the others without saying a word, and went to Locke Town——— for the Inquisition, there is nothing more important than investigating the subspace erosion and the invasion of evil gods, especially now that there are already traces of this, even more so.

It's not hard to get to Locke itself, Locke Town is located east of Waterdeep, and it's a boat ride up the Drinker River from Dagger Beach, past Noisy Water City to the Grey Peaks Mountains, and behind the Grey Peaks Mountains is the Lost Lands, and at the foot of the mountains is Locke Town.

Once a mining town, it may have been glorious at its peak, but like all resource points, when the ore was hollowed out, Locke began to decline.

But even so, when Duanmu Huai and the others came to Rock Town, the steel gate that looked thick and hard could still prove the glory of Rock Town in the past.

But only afterglow remains.

And the group was stopped as a matter of course.

"You, who are you?"

The guards standing in the sentry were pale, holding bows and crossbows aimed at Duanmuhuai and the others, and asked loudly at the same time.

"I am Duanmu Huai, the Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition."

Duanmu Huai showed the guard his rose knot, although he knew that the other party couldn't read it, but the process still had to go.

"I'm here to investigate the stillbirths that happened here."

"We haven't heard of any courts."

However, at this moment, a bearded man walked up to the sentry, he stared at Duanmu Huai, and said coldly.

"Locke Town doesn't need help, this town is currently closed and no one is allowed to enter or leave, please leave!"

"I think you're mistaken."

Hearing the man's answer, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.

"We are not here to help you, it is the duty of the Inquisition to investigate any incident related to the Chaos Evil God, this is not help, nor assistance, but a job. Anyone who tries to prevent the Inquisitor from conducting an investigation will be considered a heretic————"

Saying this, Duanmu Huai suddenly clenched the war hammer and swung forward.

"Kill or kill!"

"Woo —————!"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's murderous words, the soldier holding a bow and crossbow on the sentry was frightened and his legs weakened, and he sat directly on the ground, while the man stared at Duanmu Huai for a moment, and then spoke.

"Listen to you, you know what's going on in the town?"

"We need to investigate and understand before we can be sure."

“………………………”

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, the man was silent for a moment, and then raised his hand.

"Open the door and let them in."

"But, but Mayor Mare........."

"It's an order!"

Soon, the originally closed steel gate slowly opened, and Duanmu Huai and the others walked into the town, and then the gate closed again behind them, as if some terrible devil was chasing them behind.

At the same time, inside the city wall, a group of heavily armed soldiers were already holding weapons, looking at Duanmu Huai and the others uneasily and cautiously, judging from their equipment, these soldiers were just local militiamen, and they didn't have much combat experience, in fact, they were already trembling in the face of Duanmu Huai just standing here, Mary really suspected that as long as Duanmu Huai roared, these soldiers would immediately run away.

Then, the soldiers parted, and then the mustachioed man who had spoken earlier walked in.

"I'm Glensa. Brown, the mayor of Locketown. ”

The man who claimed to be the mayor of the town stared at Duanmu Huai and said carefully, but his expression was extremely haggard, and he looked sad.

"It's not the time, but you're welcome to Locke."
