Chapter 889 Night Watch and Ministry of Faith
A group of priests in black came to the scene. The leader wearing a small hat and a big beard glanced at the police present, nodded slightly, and patted Sheriff Oliver on the shoulder: "We need to conduct a separate investigation!"
The police chief glanced at the group of serious-faced priests with a wry smile, and could only ask his men to withdraw.
The priests of the Faith Appraisal Committee under the Holy Church's Faith Theory Department took out the leather gloves from the black suitcases they carried with them and put them on carefully. The bearded priest came to a subordinate with lips as thin as razor blades and a slightly pale face, and whispered
Asked: "Is it paganism?"
The subordinate took out a tape measure, carefully measured the relative distance of each corpse, and drew it on the notebook at hand.
Thirteen corpses surround Coppola's white wolf, arranged in a neat circle.
The subordinate measured the dimensions of each corpse and calculated their center of gravity using complex formulas... Then he showed a solemn expression.
"It looks a lot like a secret ritual of sacrifice..."
"Their center of gravity is maintained very well. Even if they are kneeling and sitting with their heads raised, their center of gravity is always at the most stable center point. And everyone's center of gravity maintains a perfect distance from the main sacrifice surrounding the center. Everyone is
Exactly!"
"The person who arranged the scene really had a precise but accurate mentality. He was either a pervert who was obsessed with mathematics and had high demands on himself, or he really regarded this matter as a sacred work.
.”
"So, yes... I think this is a secret ritual."
"And it is also a secret ritual that is highly related to astrology. I made an auxiliary line for their eyes and found that they did not intersect on the blood lamp, but were staring at a point under the blood lamp! What if
Use the blood lamp to mark the sun, and the position they stare at will be where the moon will be twelve days later. And that day will be when the moon is closest to the ground..."
"Such complicated situations must not be coincidences!"
The priest in black robe and bearded face stared at the lamp stained red with blood.
It was an oil lamp engraved with the emblem of the lamp father, and its shape was also that of a horse lantern commonly used on carriages.
But the lamp oil inside has been replaced by blood. The murderer mixed the oil and blood. Because the texture of castor oil is lighter, the castor oil floating on it will be ignited, reflecting the blood, and turn into a blood lamp...
The bearded man's expression became more serious. He opened his mouth slightly, looked around, and then lowered his voice and said, "Is it, is it a heresy?"
"Blood lamp?"
The subordinate frowned: "Father Deng's heretical beliefs include the celestial body worshiping religions in the Eastern Continent, Xuanzhen Sect, White Lotus Sect, Hongyang Sect... This part is Father Deng's Celestial Sect heresy; in addition, there is the Savior Sect, which denies the Trinity,
I believe that the Savior is the only God; the Savior is decent;
"But so far there has been no heresy worshiping the blood lamp!"
The bearded priest stared at this scene full of strange beauty, pondered for a moment, and said: "Could it be some emerging heresy?"
The subordinate shook his head: "There are many heresies that use blood as a symbol, and the most famous one is the group of Cup Mother heretics - the Blood Cup Church."
"For this reason, they will never allow the authority of the Blood of Original Sin to be usurped by others. Emerging heresies may escape our eyes, but they will never escape the pursuit of the Blood Cup Church!"
As he said that, his subordinate opened the black suitcase, took out a roll of leather, and slowly unfolded it. There were rows and rows of sharp blades on it.
The bearded priest made a sacred triangle gesture, which was regarded as praying for the deceased.
I saw my subordinates decisively dissecting one of the thugs...
"All the blood on his body disappeared without a trace..."
"And it was not drained from the wound of the artery in the neck, nor was it the Blood Cup Sect's favorite method of boiling blood, which uses the power of the Blood Cup secret ritual to ignite the blood all over the body of the deceased, and evaporate the essence of the blood medicine into the heart. In this way, as long as
Take out the heart and grind it into powder, which is the best blood medicine... The heart of the deceased is very complete."
"Well! He was killed by someone breaking his neck with great force. His hands beat him cleanly. You need to consider that the murderer may be extremely powerful!"
"Someone fed him a stiff object, which scratched his throat. It wasn't until the object entered his neck that it was cut open with a sharp blade, and all the blood was absorbed by it so greedily. I discovered the shrinking blood vessels around it.
The essence of the blood was drained out almost instantly, but nine layers of moisture were retained, so that these corpses did not turn into mummies!"
"build?"
The bearded priest obviously trusted this 'cultivation'. He shook his head when he saw him and said: "It's not the blood cup, it's not the abyss, it's not the plague witch, it's not shamanism, it's not voodoo, it's not the Dark Holy See... This is a new opponent of ours.
!”
The bearded man stared at the oil lamp covered in blood and said solemnly: "If it is really the lamp they worship, then the head teacher may take it very seriously."
"Because heresy is more abominable than heresy! Claude, I know this." Xiu shrugged.
"Light up!" the bearded Claude said coldly.
All the priests of the Holy Church present lit the silver lamp next to them, their spirituality burned, and the sacred white light enveloped the entire hall.
Surrounded by thirteen corpses glowing with blood, Coppola's body in the center was suddenly covered with a layer of rich blood light.
His raised head had a ferocious look on his face, and his muzzle suddenly spit out, revealing the face of a werewolf under the light...
Priest Claude in black quickly walked up to Coppola, opened his mouth and looked at his teeth. When he discovered that his canine teeth were indeed too developed, they were about two inches long from root to tip...
The priest in black covered his forehead.
Claude cursed fiercely: "Damn night watchman! He actually let a werewolf control three streets in the lower city!"
Xiu took out the iron pliers from the leather, broke off one of Coppola's canines, and then said, "Do you realize now that they are a bunch of losers?"
"I know that the White Wolf Gang is selling blood medicine, but damn, there are more than a dozen underground organizations selling blood medicine in the entire Carfas. Those things are protected by too many powerful people in the kingdom! The church is no longer the one that can be burned because of suspicion.
Time to die for all witches and dark creatures!"
Claude kicked Coppola's body hard: "Even the Inquisition was changed to the Department of Belief and Theory..."
Xiu was a little gloating: "Yes, it was an era when you kicked open the door of a woman's house, plundered the property of those poor widows, and then tied them to the stake because they were too beautiful or lived too long.
it's over!"
At this time, there was a quarrel outside.
A man wearing a gray coat and gray eyes pushed aside the weak police officers who were blocking him and rushed into the scene. He raised his hands to cover his face, with a crescent moon and a full moon badge painted on the back of his hand.
"Night watchman!"
"Why are you destroying the scene?"
Night watchman Anderson strode into the circle of corpses, looked around, and glanced at each of the priests in black without flinching.
The bearded Claude said calmly: "The police station informed us that this is the scene of a heretical blood sacrifice. It needs to be identified by the church to find out which heretic of the sect committed the crime!"
Anderson took a step forward and got close to Claude's face. His hook-like nose was almost touching his face. Behind him, five or six night watchmen wearing windbreakers, most of whom were mysterious, also rushed in and joined the church's people.
Confrontation between the Faith Appraisal Department.
"So, have you identified it?" Anderson said coldly.
Claude shook his head slightly: "This may be a new sect."
"That may not be a heretical sect at all, but some kind of evil secret ritual or invisible art! In a document issued by the Grand Council of the Kingdom of Camelot in the 580th year of the Fourth Age, it was clearly required that all mysterious crimes and extraordinary people be arrested
The relevant powers were taken back from the church and handed over to us, the night watchmen."
Anderson said without giving in:
"And the Holy Church's Inquisition was reorganized into the Department of Belief and Theory, which only has the power to strengthen heretical beliefs and combat evil sects!"
After Anderson reprimanded him, he glared at Sheriff Oliver outside the door, then squatted down and began to look at everything around him that was illuminated by the spirit of the 'lamp'. He reached out and touched the ground, and found that his shadow was glowing
Extremely weak purple light.
He looked up at the blood lamp above his head, only to see the faint light of blood inside.
Open the lampshade, and pure white light emits slightly on the wick.
Everyone’s expressions changed!
Claude stared at the flawless white light and said solemnly: "Such a pure spirituality of the lamp father!"
Anderson glanced back at the priests present and sneered: "It seems that some people want to avoid suspicion..."
A priest in black said angrily: "Are you doubting the church?"
Anderson was eccentric: "I don't dare to do this, but such a pure spirituality of the lamp should mean something, right?"
"A total of twenty-seven people, including a cook, three coachmen, seven cats, five dogs, and twelve horses, were all killed in this warehouse area!" Anderson said with a serious expression: "Even in the warehouse
The rat holes are filled with rat carcasses.”
"Those people, there are at least three..."
"A man who is very agile, he personally penetrated Coppola's heart from behind, and our Sir Coppola..." Anderson glanced at Coppola White Wolf, who became more and more ferocious under the silver lamp.
"He is still a werewolf who has been baptized on the path of original sin!"
He looked around, taking in all the broken glass positions and the traces of everyone's actions, and then said: "It is the darkness that has such strong vitality that it was penetrated through the heart and still lived for three minutes. After being tortured, it was executed in an execution style."
biology!"
"There are two left. One has cast several invisible arts and left traces including lamps and abyss. There is no doubt that he is a wizard who is proficient in terrifying invisible arts."
"And the other one is the leader who leads all of this."
"His cruel orders arranged this ritual, looking for something!"
Anderson glanced at the rummaged office, suddenly walked out of the warehouse quickly, and said to his subordinates: "Go to Coppola's house...to investigate this person comprehensively! I want all his clues!"
Chapter completed!
