I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 312 Haha, I got it again! Court Prosecutor
Roland frowned and thought.

Let’s not talk about the identity of Johnson’s group for now.

They seem to have been studying the mysteries of this place for a long time.

Currently, they hold two completely different views and are divided into two factions.

These two schools are the 'Shadow Mind-stealing Theory' and the 'Multi-Person Theory'.

Roland thought to himself, "Shadow. In wizard theory, both humans and gods have multiple sides. Shadow is the other side of a person."

I understand it as 'inner demon'.

If a person's shadow takes over his heart, then it means that the inner demon has taken over his body.

Judging from what Brian said, she should think that everyone's shadow has been separated from their original body, and then at random times, they will all possess the bodies of six people.

This hypothesis does make sense.

But it has a little problem.'
This question is 'Holy Spirit Theresa'.

In some aspects, the six of them are consistent with the "shadow possession theory".

Normally, heroic spirits do not have 'shadows'. This type of spirit is very pure and is a one-sided benevolent creature.

But the evil heroic spirit has a 'shadow'!
They have both 'evil' and 'good' sides!
The main body is a combination of the two sides, which form the seven heroic servants with "angelic hearts and devilish means".

When Roland met them, their state was very much like the "Supreme Demon" taking over the dominant position in their thoughts - coupled with the shadows of other people, they treated Roland as a patient and followed the mysterious rules of treatment.

But there's a problem.

That is, after sending Roland to the hospital, they didn't leave in a normal way. They just disappeared out of thin air!
It was as if there were six more people in this world, and these six people were forcibly inserted into this world and replaced Theresa and the other six!

When they disappeared, Theresa and the others came back.

Judging from this phenomenon, Wilmick's mysterious anomaly is more in line with the "multi-person theory"!

A multi-person theory similar to 'Reynard'!
But there is a problem here.

That is, in this case, once the mysterious and abnormal period of time has passed and the shadow has disappeared, the real body should inexplicably reappear in its original location.

For example, after the Holy Spirit Theresa disappeared, their real bodies should have appeared in their own rooms. Then, they seemed to have lost their memory and didn't know what they had done.

The whole process is just like 'Dry Blood Leech Amnesia'.

But not Miss Brianna!

She didn't disappear!
They were put in solitary confinement, and then they woke up!

So the 'multi-person theory' is also problematic!
Inexplicably, Roland vaguely grasped a thread.

He thought to himself, "Is there a possibility that both the inner demon theory and the multi-person theory are correct?"
Another thing is, how many people were there at the beginning?
Could it be that there weren't six people at the beginning?

Why do these six appear in the memories and thoughts of so many people?

At the beginning, were these more than one million people all separate? Yes, they were indeed separated. Of course, the more than one million people in our entire city were all separate and independent individuals.

But later on, there were fewer and fewer people, only six left.
So, there aren't over a million people in the city right now?

The number of people in the city is actually only

Suddenly, Roland had an epiphany. He covered his mouth tightly and went crazy for a long time!

Roland believed that there were actually only six people in the city now.

And he has complete logic!

He didn't dare to think too deeply. It wasn't that he was afraid that thinking too much would make him disappear. His own anchor point was very strong and would not disappear.

He was afraid that if he spoke out excitedly, his fellow patients would understand him and then disappear!
There are too many people around, and they are all mentally ill with epilepsy and very low SAN.

If their SAN is accidentally cleared, they will suddenly have an epiphany and discover a fact at the same time. When many people recognize a fact at the same time, it will become a big deal.

Fortunately, Roland took his medicine on time today. He remained clear-headed even when he was having a seizure and covered his mouth tightly.

Otherwise, on the first day of his admission, the Wilmick Holy Spirit Hospital would have been turned upside down!
Roland sorted out his thoughts and wrote down what he had speculated so far.

At this time, everyone was seated.

The archbishop personally came to the restaurant and led everyone in a pre-meal prayer.

While Roland pretended to pray, he thought to himself, "There's a reason why Archbishop Williams is paying special attention to this place. He's building his own network."

Those who suffer from epilepsy generally have come into contact with evil spirits.

Anyone who can survive after coming into contact with the evil god, even if he is a first-level paladin, will have a bright future!

This isn't a hospital at all.

This is the academy where priests learn to gain experience!
Roland couldn't help but think of Johnson - could this old guy have built up his network of contacts over the past decade or so?

On second thought, this guy might really be a Black Abyss Wizard.

It is indeed possible that it was the first dean. The founder of Heiyuan might be a group of people!

In other words, Ig's group of teachers are the real founders!

However, only one star has appeared in the Black Abyss—Lord Xiata.

If what Johnson said is correct, then who is the other star?
Also, if he had crawled out of Old Black Abyss, then shouldn't he have spent the past decade or so in Arracca helping Senior and the Thousand-Eyed King with their plans?
Such an important matter, why don't you do it? Why did you come all the way to a mental hospital?
It's impossible that you are here to get medical treatment, right?

Roland felt that he could only find out about these things after his senior sister came.

Roland was praying on the surface, but in fact his mind was full of random thoughts.

After the prayer, the archbishop and some vice-deans and others sat at the chief long table and ate with the people at the long table below.

While eating, Roland noticed that a group of red-robed nuns and a group of red-robed knights entered the restaurant accompanied by priests. They moved solemnly between the long tables, paying attention to every patient.

The archbishop actually stood up to greet these people personally.

This should be the 'prosecutor sent by the Vatican' that the nurse mentioned before.

Prosecutor, this is a very important position in the South.

Especially the prosecutor of the court is extraordinary.

Their power is terrifying, and three of them are the most well-known.

First, they have discretionary powers with few or no restrictions.

In other words, without any evidence, they could simply point to someone as a suspect, arrest them, and interrogate them in the Inquisition.

As long as they are in the inquisition, the knights have plenty of ways to make people confess!
Second, the Inquisition is a department that is completely independent of the judicial system and does not need to be accountable to anyone except the Pope!
So even if this group of people, with a group of Judgment Knights, broke into the College of Cardinals and arrested the Cardinal—and then found out that they had arrested the wrong person and that the person was actually innocent, they would not be punished at all!

Third, they can engage in 'dialectical bargaining'.

For example, an archbishop who was seriously suspected of being a dark wizard was arrested, but he was very stubborn and the inquisition could not find any evidence.

Now, the external pressure is so great that the Inquisition dares not to use torture and can only desperately collect evidence everywhere - but time is limited. They may find evidence and put the Archbishop in jail, or they may not find evidence and have to release him.

At this point, the prosecutor can engage in a "dialectical bargain" with the archbishop - in other words, legal coercion and inducement!
The prosecutor can tell the archbishop that although we cannot be sure that you are not a dark wizard now, as long as we continue to investigate, although we may not find out that you are a dark wizard, we can definitely find out that you are a wizard.

If you confess now, admit that you secretly learned magic, but the magic you learned was white magic, then you will not be burned at the stake.

At this time, if the Archbishop agrees to plead guilty, the Inquisition can bring charges for "wizard crimes" rather than "dark wizard crimes."

In this way, the tribunal met its performance targets.

As for the archbishop, although he was convicted, the crime he committed was not that serious.

Win-win.

In a sense, the Inquisition successfully framed the archbishop—and legally!

Of course, on the other hand, the Inquisition can also be said to have cleared the archbishop's name - from now on, unless there is irrefutable evidence, no one can arrest him again for suspecting him of being a dark wizard.

Roland had read many books, and in the beginning, this judicial system wasn't actually that outrageous. But now, the so-called sacred law and pure justice of the South had completely changed.

"Are these prosecutors from the Vatican's Inquisition?"

Roland took notice of the eight prosecutors.

He discovered that there were more than a dozen knights accompanying him, and they all looked familiar.

There were eight prosecutors in the lead—all nuns, and even more familiar looking.

Suddenly, Roland realized that the eight prosecutors were Diana, Theresa and others!

And that group of knights were all colleagues who had just had dinner with him yesterday.

As for the leader of the knights, he looked particularly familiar—it was none other than Miss Jeanna, the "Captain of Judgment Knight" of the mysterious place.

When Roland saw the faces of these people clearly, the corners of his mouth twitched violently.

Who else could the prosecutor sent by the Vatican be except Isabella and her gang?

Isabella and her group did come here to build the Mysterious Department, but they had another identity in the affairs of the Wilmik Monastery - the Chief Judge, Prosecutor and Knight of Judgment who came from the Vatican Inquisition!
Suddenly, Roland knew what to do in the monastery.

She wants to judge some dark wizards and clear some of them!
The Holy Spirit Hospital has no judicial authority, so even if they have evidence, they cannot judge them. They can only treat them.

So a very ironic thing happened - even though the monastery had solid evidence and even though they had caught the dark wizards, they couldn't say that these dark wizards were dark wizards!
Because the Holy Spirit Hospital has no judicial power or trial authority!
They must go through the court once more—and then, if the court says they are, then they are. If the court says they are not, then they are not!

The monastery was unwilling to let anyone go, because once the door was opened, Isabella and the others would be able to come and arrest anyone!

Many of the patients here were friends of the Archbishop, or even his political allies, so he naturally didn't want Isabella to arrest his allies.

Capturing an ally is actually a small matter.

He was afraid that one of his good friends had really been replaced by a dark wizard!

When the time comes, the dark wizard will frame him and say that he is also a dark wizard. He will have no way to defend himself.

Therefore, although the Archbishop needs a group of professionals to help him deal with things here, he cannot arrest people indiscriminately!
He had to participate in everything from arresting people to interrogating them. Everything had to be done under the premise of ensuring that he could be cleared of all charges!

Otherwise, even if there are dark wizards here, they are not dark wizards!
As for the senior sister, she came here just to make trouble for the archbishop.

Therefore, it is difficult for the two to reach a consensus.

Originally, the Archbishop was certain to give in. This was because Isabella had come with orders from the Vatican, and if they intervened forcefully, his room for maneuver would be very limited.

On the other hand, the entire city now has a lot of opinions about the archbishop. Even many high-ranking politicians who have been discharged from the hospital are reporting him, saying that he is arresting people indiscriminately.

Even the Vatican has sent people to inquire many times.

Therefore, Williams is also very anxious now. He is indeed very powerful and has many people in his hands.

The Templar Knights of Welmik are highly skilled in martial arts, firm in their faith, and adept at frontal combat.

But when it comes to catching dark wizards and handling mysterious and unusual incidents in this city, they are no match for the 'professional special templar knights (judgment knights)' of the Inquisition.

Everyone has their own expertise. It is really difficult to ask a group of people to do the work of another industry.

Otherwise, the Holy See would not have to set up a separate Inquisition and a separate Ministry of Mysteries.

Currently, the Templars have reached a bottleneck regarding the Dark Wizard issue, and Williams's subordinates have repeatedly expressed the need for a group of consultants to assist.

Williams was also afraid that if things got out of hand, he wouldn't just be forced to retire early. He might even be blamed for everything – "You're obstructing the investigation like this, you must be the leader of the dark wizards!"

Originally, Williams was considering compromising with the Mysterious Department.

But now, the mysterious place suddenly gave in!

The archbishop naturally laughed so hard that his face was full of wrinkles - he had originally thought that Isabella was going to make a big deal out of this and have him arrested, but it seemed that he had been judging others by his own standards!

Roland guessed that Isabella had originally intended to take this opportunity to get rid of the archbishop.

After all, she is not the real Isabella, but senior Catherine!
This matter is easy to handle because the archbishop has almost delivered his head to the door - there have always been problems in the monastery, and Williams, as the head of the place, will certainly find it difficult to get rid of the relationship.

So as long as Isabella waited for the right moment, or waited for a big commotion to break out at the Holy Spirit Hospital, and then intervened forcefully, she could lead her men directly into the Archbishop's office and arrest him.

Although the Archbishop was very powerful and fearsome, once the order from the Holy See came, his power was gone.

He represented the Holy See and came with the "Tiger Tally".

The incident in Wilmik City caused such a big stir that the Archbishop could not escape blame.

As long as he is caught in a mysterious place and a dragon comes, then he has problems, but he also has problems!

Isabella even prepared a V-frame specifically for imprisoning demigods!
By then, even if the archbishop has extensive connections and even if many people are protecting him, the best case scenario for him is to retire early and go home to enjoy his retirement.

At that time, the Ministry of Mysteries will be able to step on the Archbishop to ascend to power, and the Wilmick Inquisition will definitely be established.

Without the archbishop of the Wilmick Cathedral, Isabella will have the final say and the entire quasi-holy city will be in her pocket.

But now Isabella has to cooperate with the Archbishop, and all her plans have gone to waste.

Now, the prosecutors and knights had to serve as pawns for the archbishop. Not only could the archbishop use this opportunity to clear himself, but he could also use them to eliminate his political enemies.

Isabella must be going crazy now - what is that guy Roland doing!
After C, you will go crazy, right?
You went to the hospital alone in the middle of the night, right?
She even asked me to send someone to rescue you!

When Roland thought about how angry his senior was right now, cold sweat started running down his face.

Roland's gaze caught Jeanne's attention. She glanced towards Roland and soon found him.

After seeing Roland, Jeanne's face showed anger and she gave Roland a warning look.

That look seemed to say, 'You're really here!'

Roland didn't know whether Jeanne was being occupied by the senior student. He felt guilty and pretended not to notice Jeanne's gaze, lowering his head to eat.

The people from the mysterious department walked around and left. Before leaving, Diana took another look at "Old Johnson".

Roland noticed Diana's gaze and couldn't help but look at the charming nun (patient) next to old Johnson again.

Roland thought to himself, "Diana seems particularly curious about that place. Did she sense something unusual?"

Roland knew Diana was special, and the senior naturally knew it too - after all, this peeping Tom had spied on Roland many times.

In addition, Roland and the senior student also talked about a lot of things in the dream, so the senior student knew roughly what Diana was like.

There were two reasons why the senior asked Diana to come over.

The first reason is that she has a very special identity.

The second reason is that she, like Roland, is not a normal person.

Two people, one can roam freely in the lower world, and the other comes from the lower world.

It’s just that one can swim freely after entering the ocean of the lower world, while the other will sink madly to the bottom.

Although Diana can easily drown, she dives deeper than Roland. Therefore, Diana is very sensitive to things at the bottom.

Roland had felt that there was something wrong with Johnson's people.

At this moment, he saw Diana also looking over there several times, and he became more certain of his thoughts.

Soon, Roland finished his meal and a priest in doctor's clothes came over with several nurses.

Roland knew that the senior student was probably looking for him, and these people would find a reason to bring him over.

Sure enough, the priest said he would take Roland to a specialist consultation.

The priest smiled and introduced himself as Roland's chief physician, named Collard, and his title as Executive Bishop of the Holy Church.

He was once a chief judge of the Inquisition, with strength comparable to that of Lawrence. However, he cultivated both divine and physical abilities. He was both a high priest and a paladin.

After hearing the position of 'Executive Bishop', Rolando looked at him twice and remembered this person.
