The Church has a number of mythological objects that are symbolic objects of the Church, and their appearance represents the Church itself, and these things are called holy objects, which have the power of purification and can cause harm to any evil.

So the two ruling warriors brought the relics and tried to crack the culprit who caused the burns on Alex's body.

And now the pillar used to bind the murderer in front of him is one of the sacred relics belonging to the church: the holy pillar.

Of course, this is only a replica, the real pillar is treasured in the church hall of the Holy City, but the church stipulates that all criminals of supernatural events must be tied to the holy pillar to be purified, so each local cathedral or chapel will make its own holy pillar to punish criminals.

However, standing in the phalanx of the Bureau of Paranormal Investigation, Tangning's attention was drawn to the body of the murderer on the holy pillar.

The corpse's head exploded, a devastating injury from a pistol, but at the moment he saw not a monster, but a human.

"Could it be that the monster reverted to its human form after death?"

Tang Ning thought so and patted his colleague on the side.

"Is it a monster on the pillar?"

The colleague shrugged and quipped.

"You blow up its ugly head and make the monster even uglier, or I'd love to see what the monster's head looks like. ”

Hearing this answer, Downing knew that he had seen a picture that others could not see.

"It's an illusion......"

He looked over the window at the top of the chapel and saw the familiar crow standing, its shadow reflected on the floor of the chapel, obscuring the symbolic pillar.

......

The trial proceeded in an orderly manner, and applause came and went.

The clergy of the small church, who had not been involved in the investigation of the culprit or the scene of the murder, were impassionedly counting the crimes of the murderer who had been killed, as if he had witnessed every crime committed by the murderer.

Standing in the crowd looking at the normal corpse that was tied to the holy pillar silently, Tang Ning felt a little tightness in his chest.

Breaking away from the group and avoiding everyone's gaze, he walked out of the chapel, under the eaves of the Gothic chapel, and his heart was full of guilt.

It's not a monster who shoots his head in the head, it's just an ordinary person who has big dreams after retirement, and most likely a good old man.

Killing someone is already a psychological hurdle for him from the civilized world, let alone killing an innocent person, this feeling is really terrible.

And because he killed this good old man, he was regarded as a hero who punished monsters.

"The deceased was not related to me, and I thought I could bear it. ”

Tang Ning lowered his head and pursed his lips and muttered to himself!

Although my heart is tormented, but about this matter...... It is also limited to guilt that comes from the bottom of the heart.

Tell the truth, disgrace and ostracize yourself to your colleagues in the Bureau of Investigation, make Director Cross re-examine himself, and maybe even lose everything you have now, become a temporary worker for that Bureau of Investigation again, and wait another two years?

"Never ......"

He pondered the grave consequences and whispered silently.

The first thing to live in a strange world is to be less nosy, and more is better than less, and he has always kept this principle in mind.

"Anything ......?"

A voice came from behind him.

The young ruling samurai didn't know when he had come out and stood behind him.

Tang Ning's heart jumped to his throat, and he hurriedly cleaned up his mood.

"It's nothing, it's just that I can't get used to the process of killing. Because of his weak heart, he paused to change the topic. "Is the trial over?"

The ruling warrior Royce shook his head.

"Most people here don't welcome me, and it's not pleasant to stay inside. ”

Tangning patted the adjudicator on the shoulder.

"You have a lot of credit for this, and if it weren't for you preventing your companion from destroying the evidence, the truth wouldn't have been solved so soon. ”

He has a special affinity for this adjudicator samurai who is about his age, probably because of that sense of justice regardless of the consequences and positions, this kind of person is always in the minority, if he were a judging samurai, he should be in the same league as his companions and destroy evidence, after all, it will disgrace his organization and affect his future.

Royce tightened the white robe over his shoulders.

"I'm going to stay and investigate why the church personnel have become crazy monsters, and if the time comes for the investigation bureau to cooperate, I hope you can be as selfless and impartial as I am. ”

Seeing the ruling warrior leave alone, Tang Ning suddenly felt a little worried.

If the ruling samurai really investigates the truth, his heroic image will be gone, which is a hidden danger!

But...... Investigating the event will take the incident, and maybe that will have found a way back to get out of here.

Thinking like this, he still had doubts in his heart.

"Who is behind the illusion that dares to deceive the townspeople, and since the cemetery is made of wood, where did Alex's body go?"

Being able to deceive the whole town with illusions, including the ruling samurai, should not be a small person, at least his attainments in supernatural powers are absolutely outstanding.

It was foreseeable that the ruling samurai would encounter more danger than he could have imagined.

It's just that...... For him...... More is better than less, this matter ends here, he doesn't want to know the truth, let the ruling samurai work alone.

......

The third day after the end of the trial.

Cross revealed a big piece of information.

"Similar murders have been solved in other places, and the killers are all from the church. ”

Sitting in the office, the director took out a letter from his pocket and said casually, in a good mood.

Tang Ning had a hunch that those cases might have the same inside story as here, so he came back to his senses and used his lip service.

"You have a lot of credit, Director. ”

Cross motioned for the young man to follow, all the way to the conference room.

After a few moments, all the agents of the Bureau of Investigation had arrived in the conference room, and this time Downing was in the front row.

Cross opened the envelope.

"This is a commendation order from the king, and the agents in Red Leaf Town will each receive a bonus of 30 dents, and a one-time reward of 2,000 dent will be given to the families of the two agents who died in the line of duty. ”

The award was met with applause and cheers from the audience.

"Long live the king......"

The kingdom has a complete financial system for the Occult Investigation Bureau, taking a first-level agent as an example, the weekly salary of each first-level agent is 15 dents, and in a small place like Red Leaf Town, except for the director who is a third-level agent, the rest of the people may not be able to go up a step further in their lives, unless there is a big case, which means that most people get a half-month salary reward because of this case, which is absolutely affordable for people in the economic depression.

Kroos then went on to announce.

"Agent Downing Stewart distinguished himself in this case, receiving a Silver Star and being promoted to Agent II Officer. ”

Under the complete detective system of the Kingdom's Investigation Bureau, there is a crude and simple agent rank system, which is divided into ten levels: first-level detective, second-level detective, third-level detective, first-level detective, second-level detective, third-level detective, first-level detective, second-level detective, third-level detective, and director of the General Bureau of Paranormal Events.

In order to recognize those agents who have performed well in their work, there are four levels of medals: the Bronze Star Medal, the Silver Star Medal, the Gold Star Medal, and the Gem Medal.

The audience burst into warm applause.

Cross motioned for Downing to come to the stage and personally placed the Silver Star medal on the young man's chest.

"Well done, lad. ”

After the argument was over, Cross announced something else.
