Chapter 84 Dark World
"It's very likely." Lin Rui shook his head slightly and casually poured the hot tea in his cup onto the ground. "But this matter doesn't hurt me, so don't worry about it."

If you really take it seriously, you will play into their hands and fall into their rhythm.

The Blood Knife Princess put her hands behind her back with an indifferent expression and said nothing.

Wang Sen felt relieved upon seeing this. He thought that if the mastermind behind this farce wanted to manipulate public opinion to pressure Lin Rui, he was making a wrong calculation.

Lin Rui, like him, is an extraterritorial demon. He doesn't care about reputation at all, let alone the opinions of the people of Tianji Star.

They hunt demons to make money, to practice and improve themselves, to implant more powerful colonies, to have more powerful strength and higher social status.

They may have a bit of chivalry in their hearts, and feel sorry for the people around them, so they provide them with shelter to the best of their ability.

But there is really not much chivalrous spirit.

As for the Blood Knife Princess - from what Wang Sen had seen in recent days, he felt that she was a pure demon.

Ji Xueying may have had a clear self-awareness because of her voluntary conversion in the past, and she no longer considers herself a human being.

The Blood Knife Lady's mind is extremely strong. She doesn't care about human life. The reason why she restrained herself from killing people and consuming blood for those ten days was simply because she didn't want to lose her mind, succumb to her instincts, and completely degenerate into a beast.

Therefore, it is impossible for her to feel guilty towards these people because of the Zuihualou case.

Lin Rui's eyes suddenly fixed and he looked towards the door.

At this time, the crowd outside was dispersing, revealing three figures, one big and two small, on the street outside.

The oldest one among them was in his forties, dressed in white. Although he looked ordinary, he had a gentle and soft temperament, exuding a quiet and profound aura.

The two children were a boy and a girl, both under 10 years old, dressed simply, thin and small, with pale faces, and each carrying a vegetable basket.

Lin Rui recognized the middle-aged woman at first sight. She was the high priest of the fourth realm of the Church of Light!
Although the woman was not wearing a hat or veil today, Lin Rui still recognized her at first sight.

Lin Rui also felt familiar with the two children, but he couldn't remember them for a moment.

Lin Rui checked the biochip and recognized that the two children were the two children they rescued on the first day of their birth.

It’s the family where the grandmother turned into a thousand-thread demon and the parents were caught in the pot.

The storage capacity of the biochip is very limited and can only record videos within three months. The video will be erased after three months, so the video at that time is still there.

Lin Rui has always been bothered by the thunder and fire mark on his chest.

Seeing the high priest at this time, the fire in his heart suddenly surged, and he wondered how this woman actually dared to come to see him?

He's just a high priest of a cult, so he doesn't take a captain of police seriously, right?

Just after the crowd outside the door dispersed, the middle-aged woman with a gentle temperament walked in and bowed to Lin Rui.

"Saint Priest Li Qiufeng has met the Saint Fate."

Li Qiufeng raised her head and saw Lin Rui's eyes wide open, staring at her with a look that seemed to be devouring someone.

Li Qiufeng frowned at first, then understood the reason and raised her eyebrows slightly, saying, "Is the Saint Fate One worried about the Saint Seal? Actually, there is no need to worry. The Saint Seal was given by our sect's sacred object, the 'Sacred Thunder Tribulation Fire'. As long as the Saint Fate One is unwilling, even an Eighth Realm Great Cultivator will not be able to sense any trace of the Saint Seal.

This was not my original intention, and I am quite surprised by it. I suspect that the Saint Fate possesses an extremely powerful bloodline of thunder and fire, and has a strong affinity with our sect, which is why our sect's Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire reacted and bestowed the Holy Seal."

Lin Rui scoffed at the words: "Give me the Holy Seal? Do I have to be grateful to you?"

He had a slight thought in his mind, remembering the crystals that Lin Xi took out, and the complete holy body that Professor Sima mentioned.

Li Qiufeng smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I came here today to meet with the Saint Fate person and try to persuade him to join my Bright Divine Religion. However, I see that Captain Lin has a deep prejudice against my religion, which shows that your fate with my religion is not yet there, so let's not talk about it; secondly, I want to thank Captain Lin on behalf of my followers for slaying demons and protecting their safety." When she said this, she folded her hands over her shoulders and bowed to Lin Rui: "Captain Lin has killed no less than fifty demons in and around his jurisdiction in the past ten days, which has greatly reduced the demonic atmosphere in the surrounding area and kept the demons away. Most of my followers live in the east and north of the city, and they have all benefited from this and are kept safe. When they mention Captain Lin, they are all grateful and tearful."

At this time, the two children behind her also bowed deeply to Lin Rui with expressions of gratitude, and then placed the two vegetable baskets in their hands on the table next to them.

Wang Sen glanced at the vegetable basket and found that it was full of eggs. The eggs were very big, as big as three fists.

The Tianji star chicken is also very large in size, even larger than an ostrich.

In fact, this creature doesn't look like a chicken at all. It's just that biologists were lazy and named it that way, just like they used to name sea creatures like manatees, seals, sea lions, and seahorses.

Just as Wang Sen was lost in thought, the little girl on the left mustered up the courage to say to Lin Rui, "Captain Lin, I think those people are wrong. Please ignore them. Everyone knows that you are a good person.

I heard from my neighbors that if it weren't for your amazing power recently, everyone would be so cautious even when going out to buy groceries, and they wouldn't dare go out at night. Everyone is grateful to you from the bottom of their hearts. Now, besides Chief Constable Zhang, you are the only one in the government office who is working so hard to protect the people and slay demons."

Lin Rui was stunned when he heard this, and took a closer look at the little girl who was less than 10 years old.

He saw innocence and admiration in the girl's eyes.

Lin Rui looked away, feeling slightly guilty, wondering how he was protecting these Tianji people. He was simply out to harvest soul points and the magic silver bounty offered by the government.

Lin Rui looked up at Li Qiufeng: "What's going on with these two children?"

"Their parents are members of my sect." Li Qiufeng stroked the two children's heads with a loving and compassionate look. "After they lost their parents, they should be raised by my sect. I plan to take them to my sect's Wangcheng branch. They should have a better life there. Today, when they heard that I was coming to visit the captain, they wanted to come along to thank you and Constable Wang for saving their lives and giving them the silver."

These two children actually have some cousins, but they are all from poor families and do not have the money to support them.

Moreover, with what happened in their family, they will definitely be criticized if they live here in the future. It would be better for them to go to Wangcheng County with her and change the environment.

Lin Rui sneered secretly when he heard this, guessing that the high priest of the Holy Church must have taken a fancy to the talents of these two children.

Anyone who transforms into a demon has a strong bloodline talent, especially the grandmother of these two children, who has no martial arts foundation at all, but once she transforms into a demon she becomes a Thousand-Thread Demon of the Third Realm. This shows that their family has a strong bloodline inheritance.

Lin Rui, taking the two children present, said sarcastically, "Your Church of Light has attracted quite a few followers in Silver Moon County."

"How could you possibly be tempted?" Li Qiufeng's gaze suddenly grew fierce. "In today's world, wolves reign supreme, demons run rampant. Not only do the people of the world have to bear heavy taxes and endure oppression from the imperial court, they also suffer the scourge of demons, their lives hanging in the balance."

She shook her head: "Captain Lin comes from a family of yamen runners and lives a comfortable life. He probably can't feel the suffering of the ants. Take these two children of the Zhou family, for example. Do you really think their father is unwilling to support his parents?

They simply couldn't survive. Before this incident, their family of five had been without food for three days. Do you know how heavy the commercial taxes in Silver Moon County are? They're already at 50% of the income, and the land tax is 30% of the income, not to mention all the other local levies and taxes. It's precisely because the people are so disappointed with the court and have no other options that they're rushing to join the Church of Light, seeking its protection."

Lin Rui was speechless when he heard this and looked at Wang Sen beside him.

Li Qiufeng's voice softened as she spoke the last few sentences. She smiled again and said, "Captain Lin has a deep misunderstanding of our religion. It's useless to say more now. When fate brings us together in the future, Captain Lin will naturally understand the true meaning of our religion's great wish.

Captain Lin possesses the blood of light, but has yet to awaken his bloodline. This is truly a pity. However, Captain Lin only needs to maintain a heart of light, and sooner or later, the day of his light will come.

She folded her arms, bowed, and led the two children out the door.

Lin Rui watched Li Qiufeng's back disappear at the street corner outside the door, frowning and thinking for a long time, then put away the chaotic thoughts in his mind: "Inexplicable!"

Lin Rui immediately stood up and strode out the door. "Twenty-seven, let's go make some money! Xueying has already found the location of the Fourth Realm Thousand Silk Demon."

Wang Sen was shocked when he heard this and forgot what Li Qiufeng had just said.

The current bounty on this Fourth Realm Thousand Silk Demon in the government office is 500 taels! Its blood can also be sold for money.
