Durin's Diary

Chapter 579: Horror Cognition

After identification, the poor girl's belongings were confirmed to be the daughter and sister of the two deceased.

The deacon of Angario even went to the town of Visim for this purpose. He came back and said that the little girl just accepted everything calmly.

Their family reported the missing person's case six years ago. In six years, I'm afraid their tears have dried up long ago.

So this doesn't mean anything.

As for the three suspects.

First, it was the mayor's second son. After careful investigation, it was confirmed that there was no problem with this young man. Coupled with the double AI detection of lie detection and Du Lin, this young man was cleared of suspicion - in fact, in Du Lin's eyes, this fifteen-year-old boy was the least suspicious.

Then came the young deacon in the town, who was personally detected and questioned by Monsignor Angario. Without hesitation, the young man took a selfie under the statue of the Anonymous to detect lies. As mentioned before, when detecting lies, one can circumvent people who lie as directly as drinking water through the art of language.

However, selfie-based lie detection will be monitored by anonymous parties and cannot be circumvented by so-called art.

Du Lin is good at proving himself in this way because he really understands how to bypass these detections. If he wants people to really believe in him, he must show sincerity.

So the young acolyte passed the detection and was immediately favored by the order - his acolyte badge would be able to add the Iron Fist oath emblem.

Another was the eldest son of a tax collector.

The young man swore by the God of War and passed the detection.

The oath of the God of War was a very serious oath. The investigator got the answer, and the young man also got an advantage - the God of War disdained to use insidious methods to kill others. As long as he could prove that he had not done such a thing, the god would bless the believer.

Having said that, the Red War God seems to have a pretty good relationship with the Nameless One. Perhaps both of them like to provoke people into fighting, but one simply likes war and the other simply likes to help humans.

So the question is, the three young men are all innocent, and the chaos den started late, with only one year from its establishment to the incident. Although there were indeed actions against the two deceased people in the Haram family, there was no connection with the time of death of the eldest daughter of the Haram family.

In other words, the eldest daughter's death had nothing to do with the death of her father and eldest brother.

"Does your Excellency still think there is something wrong with our little daughter?" The deacon was a little confused. She instinctively felt that Du Lin seemed to be targeting the little girl.

"I'm targeting criminals. What's true cannot be false, and what's false cannot be true." Having said that, Du Lin simply started writing on the blackboard.

"First, the eldest daughter died six years ago. At that time, the Haram family had just lost their mother, and even more so, a large number of family members. The survivors fled to the town of Visim, and the eldest daughter disappeared along the way. I heard they were being hunted down at that time."

At this point, Durin looked at Urjula, and the old vampire smiled awkwardly: "My children are ignorant and hunt down the poor people of the Haram family. After all, the head of a Haram family member in the dark guild at that time was worth a lot of money. But the eldest daughter will never be killed by a member of my family."

Uryula is a member of the Three Saints Society, the Three Saints Society is the property of Dulin, and Dulin is a big shot of the Anonymous.

In other words, Uryula's family has now been cleansed of all worldly concerns and is now completely fine.

"There's definitely something fishy about the eldest daughter's death. My suggestion is to thoroughly investigate the town where the murder took place, and also the surrounding villages." Dulin looked at Angario, who nodded and called over another deacon, instructing him to take care of the matter. The three suspects have no connection to the Haram family. While the Chaos den we just raided is connected to the two deceased, their survivors have stated that they've only just begun preparing for an operation against their target, meaning they didn't commit the murders.

Of course, Du Lin would not apologize to them. After all, no one in the world - whether this person is the Niubilis mountain people in the west or the residents of Changtangninghai Town in the east - would think that Chaos Man is worthy of sympathy.

Hanging a Chaos follower is the most gentle way a normal person can think of for a Chaos follower to die.

It’s so gentle, so gentle that even the most gentle Virgin Mary finds it so gentle.

In many places, Chaos Guys are usually dragged to death behind a car, or simply chopped off their heads with an axe.

"I've seen that little girl before, and she doesn't seem like a bad person," Uryula said. "But how can I put it? This child gives me a very calm feeling. She doesn't look like a twelve-year-old child, but more like an eighty-two-year-old."

"You mean... she's been possessed?" Mr. Yan was also listening in today as an assistant. His words about possession made An Jialuo think for a moment: "It's indeed possible."

"What do you mean there is still a possibility?" Du Lin was really curious now.

"Although the survivors of the old century are dead, their memories are often copied by the technological creations of the old century, such as those biological brain AIs you discovered before. A very small part of those brains will gradually awaken and find that they are dead. They will use all means to seize the body of a living organism." Having said this, An Jialuo pointed to the two AIs in Du Lin's hand: "And the two AIs in your hand, Du Lin, are creations of the survivors. Of course, they will understand their identities, but those brains are different. They will crave to restart their lives like crazy. The possession that Mr. Yan mentioned is one of them. They will manipulate the mechanical body to invade the brain of a living being. I now have a reasonable suspicion that the hole in the eldest son's brain is the escape mark left after the failed possession."

"You mean to say that a very small number of those brains are still functioning, and they are parasitic among humans." Du Lin finally understood. "Then what do you think of the Vincent family?"

"He's an outlier. He announced his existence to the church long ago. Because he replicated himself, as long as he doesn't harm others, the church will ignore his resurrection according to the old agreement." Angario sighed. "Families like his exist in every country. They are called the Immortals. These remnants of the old era are mostly troublesome. Sometimes they go crazy from living too long. When that happens, we will execute them according to the agreement."

Du Lin nodded: "If the Haram family's little daughter is really possessed by another spirit, can she be saved?"

"The connection between the machine and the brain only takes place once. The victim is essentially dead after the operation. The body becomes a prison for the soul because these parasites fear death. When the victim dies, they will leave to seek their next victim. For this reason, they seek out young victims."

At this point, Angario mentioned an example that gave Durin a headache: "Generally speaking, children aged zero to three are the easiest targets. If the Haram family's little daughter was truly possessed by a parasite, then she must have been infected while in Austria."

At this point, Angario was silent for a moment. "But there's still a problem that defies common sense. Austria has never had any records of the Old Ones, nor has anyone's cause of death been found to be related to them. Furthermore, the elder sister died at the age of thirteen, when the younger sister was six. Even if the elder sister had a parasite in her brain, it couldn't have infected the younger sister after it left. The only way to solve this problem is by having two parasites, and parasites are hostile to each other and won't cooperate at all."

The problem has reached a dead end, a dead end.

But Mr. Yan doesn't think so.

　"I have walked on thin ice all my life, and I have kept my vow to remain pure. I have never broken it!"

　　"...You asked them what was going on?"

　　"Hey! The Paladin thing, does that count as breaking the rules?"

　　"Besides, monster girls are not human!"
