Duanmu Huai looked at the man in front of him, who was haggard, with a yellow face and thin muscles, and looked like a frowning figure-eight brow. Seeing this, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly and said.

"It seems that Locketown's problems are more than just dead babies."

“…………………”

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the mayor's body trembled, but before he could speak, Duanmu Huai had already looked at the two people on his shoulder.

"Ogis, Rose."

"Yes."

"What's the matter?"

"From now on, I want you to seal off all the entrances and exits of the town, and anyone who tries to leave will be killed for any reason, and no one will be allowed to leave until the Inquisition's investigation is over!"

"Okay."

"Understood."

When the words fell, the figures of the two girls flashed and disappeared suddenly, and when they heard Duanmu Huai's order, the mayor of the town was also taken aback, and looked at Duanmu Huai in surprise.

"Wait, this ..............."

"I repeat, it's the work of the court."

Duanmu Huai coldly interrupted the mayor's protest.

"We're not pathetic philanthropists like the paladins of Tyre or Thom, and for the Inquisition, any signs of chaos need to be thoroughly investigated, well, now, are you going to report the situation to us immediately, or are you going to stay here and die?"

"Wow ..............."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words of murderous intent, An stuck out her tongue and poked Mary and Grea.

"Mr. Knight is so fierce........."

"Well, it's rare to see him so fierce ......... people"

Mary also nodded, in her world, Duanmu Huai rarely spoke to others in such an unquestionable tone, even Ann and Gureya, it was rare to see Duanmu Huai put such pressure on people who met for the first time. It was a naked threat, and there was no room for maneuvering.

But in fact, this is the daily life of the Inquisitor, especially after confirming that there are signs of Chaos invasion here, Duanmu Huai directly enters the role of the Inquisitor, if necessary, he will even completely destroy the entire town to prevent the spread of Chaos, compared to what is wrong with speaking louder, doesn't this mean that he has eaten enough?

"Good, good........."

Where has the mayor seen such a terrifying threat, not to mention that the Duanmu Huai standing in front of him is more than twice as tall as him, and with the pitch-black power armor with a skull, the deterrent power is even fuller. It was even more extreme than those polite paladins, and at this moment he was also trembling with fright, and hurriedly nodded vigorously.

"I, I know, I'll tell you, I'll tell you all...... Actually, a lot of people have died in the town........."

"Oh?"

Under the stammering mayor's narration, Duanmu Huai can be regarded as understanding the current situation in Rock Town.

In the beginning, Locke Town did give birth to a number of dead babies, and some people tried to ask for help from the temple and the church, but to no avail. Like the lady who went to the Temple of Tyre, they didn't end up giving birth to a healthy child.

But the situation has not changed, and it has worsened. Soon people were found dead in their homes, all of whom had been aborted before and their families, and the scene was horrific, almost everyone was disemboweled, as if they had been attacked by some beast.

Because of this, Locke Town was completely locked down, forbidding anyone to enter, and now the town is panicked, some people claim that it is the devil's work, and some people think that it is likely to be the work of some forces hostile to Locke Town, but they are only a mining town, not to mention that there are almost no mineral deposits at the moment.

"Assaulted, killed, and all families who have had previous miscarriages?"

Duanmu Huai frowned and thought for a moment.

"Are there any pregnant women in the town now?"

"Yes, and one more......... But she has given up hope and is just waiting for the judgment of fate. ”

"Okay, I got it."

Duanmu Huai nodded, then looked at the others.

"Mary, Gura, go talk to the lady——— especially Mary, and watch carefully to see if anything comes of it."

"I see."

Although Duanmu Huai didn't say it obviously, Mary knew what he meant, so she nodded, and left with Gurleya, leading a guard to a nearby path.

"As for your ..............."

After giving the order, Duanmu Huai turned to the mayor.

"Take us to see the corpse."

"Okay."

Led by the mayor and a few guards, the group continued on their way, and soon they crossed the main road and came to the square in the middle of the town, where the whole town looked deserted, as the mayor said, and most of the people locked themselves in their homes, only looking at the strangers through the windows in horror.

However, there are also some people who do not stay at home. When he walked to the town square, Duanmu Huai saw several townspeople surrounding an old man, who was ragged and thin, but full of a sense of crazy excitement.

"I tell you! This is the day of the end! We're done! Humanity is finished! ”

"Who's that old man?"

Duanmu Huai coldly glanced at the old man who was yelling in the crowd, and asked, while the mayor sighed helplessly.

"He's called Hall, and he's an old farmer, but ever since this happened, he's claimed to have the ability to foresee and see the future............... And then he said all this nonsense in the town every day. ”

"Oh........."

Duanmu Huai snorted lightly, and then walked over, and at this moment the old man did not notice Duanmu Huai's approach, and was still howling feverishly at the people in front of him.

"On the eighth of the third night disappears, death descends from darkness, and all the heathen will rot on the earth! This is a prophecy! A sign of a new god coming to earth! To the infidels, he is like a dark giant with a fiery and bloodthirsty eye, but to those who believe in him, he is like a kind shepherd, protecting his followers! ”

Originally, everyone was only skeptical of the old man's words, but when they saw Duanmu Huai coming from behind the old man, several people's faces changed greatly, and they trembled and fell to the ground.

"I, I don't want to die! I am willing to follow this new god, what is his name? ”

"I don't know!"

The old man shook his head.

"But follow me, do what I say, and God will see your good intentions!"

"I've had enough!"

At this moment, a farmer roared angrily and interrupted the old man's speech.

"I've had enough of your gibberish! I don't want to listen to your stupid words! ”

"Then the curse will come upon you! You'll be dead in a few weeks, that's what SBC told me! Only a few people will be trusted and saved! The rest will die in the dark! Just like everyone else! He's coming! He's coming!! ”

"Oh? Is it? ”

And at this time, Duanmu Huai had already walked behind the old man and said with a sneer.

"So, what else did the new god say to you?"

"He's here to cleanse evil! Follow him ..............."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's inquiry, the old man only thought that another audience member was asking, he turned his head with a fanatical smile——— and then the moment he saw Duanmu Huai, the whole person was stunned in place. However, before the old man could react, Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and grabbed him, he stared at the old man in front of him, his eyes radiated scarlet brilliance.

"Low heretic, who allowed you to talk nonsense here?"

"No, no, let me go!"

The old man struggled desperately, trying to break free from Duanmu Huai's grasp, but to no avail.

"Whoever you are, you can't stop me! Keep intimidating me! Whether it's pushing me down, oppressing me, kicking me, or hitting me, I'll get back on my feet and declare the coming of the new gods more firmly than ever! At a time when your souls are in danger, I will try to tell the truth to everyone! I tell you, SBC will keep me out of harm's way! You can't help me—————! ”

However, the old man's words were not finished, because at the next moment, Duanmu Huai's hand was like twisting the cap of a bottle, and easily turned the old man's head one hundred and eighty degrees, turning him into a corpse, and then Duanmu Huai threw it directly on the ground, seeing this scene, the people who were originally gathered here suddenly screamed, and many people even turned around in fright and ran.

In the blink of an eye, the original onlookers around them ran away.

"Mayor Mare."

Duanmu Huai didn't care at all about the frightened gazes thrown at him by the people next to him, he turned his head and stared at the mayor who was also standing next to him, who didn't seem to have recovered yet.

"Hang the body of this heretic, I want everyone to see, this is the end of heresy!"

"Ah, yes, okay......... I know. ”

At this moment, the mayor of the town seemed to be completely frightened by the murderous aura emitted by Duanmu Huai, nodded hurriedly, and then made a gesture to the guards, only to see two guards immediately come over and quietly carry the old man's body away.

"Alright, move on."

No one spoke, the mayor of the town silently led the way in front, Duanmu Huai and An walked behind, at this time An finally couldn't help it, and gently poked Duanmu Huai's body.

"Mr. Knight, Mr. Knight?"

"Huh?"

"Why did you kill that old man, it seems to me that he is just a gibberish guy."

"It's also possible that there may be potential followers of the Chaos Evil God."

Duanmu Huai didn't care about An's inquiry.

"If he is really a believer in the Chaos God, then letting him go could lead to the death of millions of people in the future, so that's why I killed him."

"But......... What if he wasn't? ”

"That's not it."

"Huh?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's disapproving answer, An couldn't help but be stunned, while Duanmu Huai turned his head and stared at An.

"The Inquisition is not a messenger of justice, and as you recall, the purpose of the Inquisition is to protect humanity at all costs, and this at all costs also represents ........."

Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai lowered his voice.

"Even if you kill a hundred by mistake, you will never let one go, because once this one is negligent, then it will lead to the death of thousands of people in the future, do not pity them, ignore their innocent cries——— it is better for a hundred innocent people to die at the hands of the Inquisition than for one person to fall on his knees before the Chaos Demon."

"But this ......... Won't you be feared? ”

"It doesn't matter, the Inquisition is not a messenger of justice, nor is it a hero, we will not be loved, respected, worshipped, and faced only with disgust, fear, and curse. But it doesn't matter, because we're just doing what we're supposed to do, and it's our duty to resist chaos and protect humanity, it's as simple as that. ”

Duanmu shrugged his shoulders and then looked up again, while Ann sighed.

"It's not a good road."

"Of course, so goals are important, and when you have a clear goal, the rest doesn't matter."

As they spoke, the group had already arrived at the cemetery, and even through the rusty iron fence, they could still see the rows of newly dug graves inside.

"Okay, don't think about those boring things."

Duanmu Huai touched An's head.

"It's time for us to get to work, too."
