"Your Excellency, I am sorry that your inspiration is a bit dull"

Priest Durk squeezed out one word after another with difficulty between his teeth.

"In short, if you want to make a correspondence between the murder of Priest Hester and the various elements in today's scene, according to this 'soul crucible ceremony'."

"Aldan, the organist who also committed the crime, is the executor;"

"Hester is a sacrifice that was made into the witness symbol of the 'God of the Word';"

"And on the glass coffee table in his apartment, the piece of 'wormology notes' that was cut and taken away by the special inspection hall is the final product of the ceremony, and it is also full of the coffin that has been screened out before our eyes. Is it the same kind of weird substance? They were originally people who were inhabited by 'worms'?"

"Maybe." For a moment, Fanning didn't know what he was expressing just now.

If something looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and tastes like a duck, then maybe it is a duck.

If several things are like this, then maybe they are all ducks.

Otherwise, how to explain the common form of these kinds of things?
How to explain that in the Hester incident, only the executor and the sacrificial person were found, but not the object of the ritual, and the assistants who used to get along with each other disappeared completely, and they couldn't be found no matter how hard they looked?
"Ok, I see."

"But coming all the way, what is the 'worm' itself?"

Priest Durc smiled wryly.

However, Fan Ning felt that the vague transcripts about "worms" collected in the small town of Lebic in the early stage were a little more thoughtful than before.

""Wormology" does not exist, and studying "wormology" is studying something that should not be studied."

——If you just understand it as "a subject" and "a type of knowledge" according to ordinary people's cognition as in the past, you will indeed come to such a conclusion.

"Something died in the innermost part. After it rotted, some other things grew from above. It used to be only in the abnormal area, and then it also appeared in the world."

——This kind of thing came out of the abnormal area. Now that even people outside have been caught on the upper body, it is even more difficult to imagine what is going on inside. Therefore, if you go in later, it will definitely be a big source of danger.

"You misunderstood, that thing has no direct connection with our savior. We believers have to be careful if we encounter it. It is difficult for people to see worms, and people cannot forget worms. If you have to describe it, it is "a snake that is not a snake". "

——"Worm" does not represent the Academy of Gods or the "Gen of the Truth" itself. In the same way, Mr. Wa has a bottle of "Sneaky Water" in his hand, and it does not mean that the Special Inspection Office is colluding with the Academy of Gods up.

"Water of Sneaky", or "Wormology", or "Secret History Edition" Brilliant Ichor, is just a type of substance.

A mysterious substance that is related to "worms" and has some special functions in the field of secret history or in the field of abnormality.

The God's Descending Society, the Special Patrol Office, and maybe other organizations, they are just trying to study, use, or fight against this out-of-the-box power.

After sorting out his thoughts, Fan Ning said:

"If you have a cup for the psychic liquid, give me one."

The bottle used by Mr. Wa at the beginning should also be made of the normal material used to release the radiant spirit liquid.

"Yes, I took a small bottle with me when I came down."

Priest Durc quickly took it out of his body.

There is still a third of the "candle" spirit liquid in it, about ten milliliters, and I don't care about transferring and storing it right now, just sprinkle them around me, transpiring into radiant inspiration.

After Fanning thanked, he held the black vial in his hand.

He carefully controlled the thread of inspiration, reopened the coffin, and collected the "sneaky water" that spread and soaked into the bottle drop by drop.

It is the same as the brilliance liquid of other phases, its appearance in the world is not stable, and the visual form that goes against cognition will evaporate, distorting the surrounding "pixels", and then spreading, thinning, and leaving some abnormalities. quality light and shadow.
But as time passed, Fanning did not feel that this "sneaky water" had any unique, dangerous or sensitive mysterious properties.

The only difference from other phase elixirs is that the inspiration it brings to people when it evaporates is a kind of uncomfortable feeling of mental collapse--Fan Ning thinks it is just uncomfortable, not a strong spiritual threat, as long as It's not that it's harmless to be under this kind of package all the time.

Finally, all the "sneaky water" in the coffin was collected into bottles.

It was close to what was poured out before, about ten milliliters.

Fan Ning thought for a moment, and then used the "night watchman's lamp" to illuminate the positions of the other two coffins with abnormalities.

The "sneaky water" among them was also collected, and the bottle was almost full.

About one-thousandth of the coffins of three thousand front-line soldiers were suspected to be inhabited by "worms" in the world.

Sounds like a pretty low percentage.

But it seems that compared with the description of "rare", it doesn't particularly fit, and it seems to be a bit high.

I don't know if these esoteric believers have done something extra on the front line.

Everyone left the morgue and climbed up the steps back to the surface.

All in all, things went relatively well.

Fan Ning, who had seen "Corpse Ring" and "Sneaky Water" before, did not encounter any particularly frightening things beyond expectations.

"I am now sending you to the Hall of Discipline by yourself, to watch with those foreign soldiers and false teachers, and to explain in detail the deeds of unrighteousness that you know. Yu, masters of the diocese of Raubken, follow the law."

He not only woke up Lieutenant Andrew again, but also made arrangements for the clergy of the church.

"Follow what the bishop said, and I will report to you the progress of the interrogation at any time."

"Thank you, Bishop, for the rescue. Apart from going to the Teaching Hall, there is no other place for me to go in Janus." Andrew stood with his head bowed, his tone low, but no longer wavering.

Fanning nodded approvingly.

After the clergy left and Colonel Alpha left first, he finally sat down on a boulder in the messy auditorium, and flipped through the bound booklet he found in the altar of the "Cauldron of Soul Ceremony".

The Divine Descending Society is an extremely mysterious and weird organization, and now my knowledge is still very limited.

"Savior of fate, usher of heaven. Embodiment of ancient truths, herald of change."

This is their description of the honorable name of "the scorpion of the truth" in their teachings.

"Too little."

"Same as before."

Fanning frowned after watching it for a while.

In the four months before he went to the Diocese of Lebic for the "survivor report", he had investigated and intercepted some "promotional materials" produced by the Descending Society to attract acquaintances to gather.

It is usually a small card, a small folder, or a black fine-caliber marker pen with words written on it, and eggs and potatoes are used to "give benefits" to acquaintances.

For Fanning, the information density of such things is very low, and there is not much mystic content that can be effectively deduced.

He believes that this is because the audience level of such "promotional materials" is relatively low.

Unexpectedly, the information density of this seemingly systematically compiled "doctrine" found in the altar is still very low.

When Fan Ning was in the Northern Continent, he had read the common teachings of hidden organizations such as the Harmonization School, the Joyful Listening Club, and the Transcendence Club. When he first came to the Southern Kingdom, he also read the teachings of the Fanghui Temple. Learned the teachings of the Church of the Holy Sun.

There are righteous gods and evil gods.

The teachings of the evil god organization are also systematic, otherwise there is no "brainwashing".

In contrast, the booklet in my hand now is as simple as a joke, without any system at all.

In fact, it doesn't look thin, but the narrative content is gone in the first three pages.

"Songs of joy? Poems of joy?"

Beginning on the fourth page, there is a catalog of poems, titled "Songs of Joy".

"What are these poems that can be used as prayers for the 'Cauldron of Souls'?"

"Could it be that the main part of their teachings chooses to present metaphors in poetic form from the basic content?"

"But if it is written in an obscure way, how can ordinary people who have no foundation in mysticism read it?"

Fan Ning stroked the pages of the book with his fingers, and jumped directly to the middle, ready to read a random article first.

"boom!"

The booklet fell directly to the ground and spread out in half.

A fine layer of cold sweat spread across Fanning's back in an instant.

impossible! ! !
The content of this poem turned out to be——

"Oh, little red rose!
The world is in great trouble!

People live in great pain!

I would rather choose to live in heaven!
I walk on a broad path,

An angel came and tried to send me back.

No, I don't want to be sent back to the world!

I came from the glow and I will return to the glow,

Dear primordial light will open a ray of light to me,
Light up my eternally happy life! "

This "Happy Song".
This "joyful song" that was incorporated into the teachings of the "Song of the Mantra" by the God's Descent Society was actually taken from the collection of folk songs "The Magic Horn of the Boy" compiled by the Janus poet Barentro!
It is the poem written on the title page of the medical work notes by the deceased old lady Hamilton!

It is also the text I chose in the fourth movement of "Resurrection" in "Symphony No. [-] in C Minor"-"The First Light"! ! !
