Why would they find it strange that they saw something that matched the behavior of hunters?

I imagine every journalist is scheming to describe this event in a more vivid and authentic way.

Such fanaticism, or even the threat of death, may not be effective unless all journalists are killed.

Bai Miao ultimately did not carry out the killing, but he quickly came up with another plan.

"Den!"

Bai Miao took out the Holy Sword of the Healing Cult, which made a crisp sound on the ground.

After showing the holy sword to the group of reporters, Bai Miao put it away.

"Dr. Moriarty? A doctor?! This is the Holy Sword of the Healing Cult! Are you a hunter from the Healing Cult?!"

The reporters tried to call out to Bai Miao for answers, but he simply walked away and disappeared at the end of the street.

Let you think whatever you want and fill in the blanks with your imagination.

The Healing Cult would probably be uneasy after seeing the news.

Frame someone, who can't do that?

Chapter 192 Returning the Property to its Rightful Owner

The news was quickly printed and distributed throughout the streets and alleys of Arles.

[Shocking! Rising star rehabilitation surgeon White Moriarty has this kind of connection with the Healing Cult!]

[The descendants of Dr. Robert Murray were brutally murdered, and the killer was...!]

Such eye-catching headlines were printed in bold and large on the front page, prompting people to rush to buy them.

Bai Miao was drinking coffee at home, reading the newspaper articles.

The professional competence of the major newspapers has once again been demonstrated.

They even thoughtfully explained Katie's background and origins.

In particular, it was mentioned that Dr. Maurice had his medical license revoked by the ethics committee because of the blood he invented.

After all, Dr. Morrie once claimed that blood therapy could cure all diseases.

Although it was taken down by the review committee before it could even officially treat anyone.

Bai Miao's phone rang again.

"Miss Hearst, is there something you need from me?"

"You're still asking? Was Katie... killed by the same killer as last time?"

Hearst's voice trembled slightly; she was worried that she would be next.

"It should be... that the methods of committing the crimes are the same, and that the murderers are all pursuing a sense of artistry."

"Why didn't you explain anything to the reporters this time? And they said you also have ties to the Healing Cult."

Bai Miao paused for a moment: "There's no way to explain it. I was there, and in this situation, reporters will only believe what they see with their own eyes. As for the Healing Cult, I hope to use this method to distract the reporters and, incidentally, get the Healing Cult to come to me. I plan to help them resolve a long-standing issue."

After saying that, Bai Miao hung up the phone.

Someone has arrived at the door.

Moreover, the footsteps didn't sound friendly.

Bai Miao opened the door, and a group of uniformly dressed Healing Cult hunters stood outside.

The leader was carrying two holy swords on his back.

"You came pretty quickly. Would you like to come in and have a cup of tea?"

The leader shook his head: "I hope you know that resistance is futile, Dr. Moriarty. Come with us and face trial."

"Trial? Why are you judging me?"

The leader frowned: "Dr. Moriarty, there's no point in playing dumb. The holy sword in your hand proves that you've harmed your fellow members of the Healing Cult."

"This is all a misunderstanding. You know how difficult it is to find your Healing Cult, so I used this method to attract your attention. I actually have something very important to tell you. After all, your Healing Cult doesn't care if I killed someone in your name, right?"

As expected, the leaders were completely unconcerned about Kitty's death being attributed to the Healing Cult. What concerned them was that Bai Miao, a hunter who wasn't a member of the Healing Cult, had drawn the Healing Cult's holy sword.

This is a grave act of blasphemy!

This means that the hunter killed his fellow members of the Healing Cult and took their weapons for himself!

It's not uncommon for Healing Cult hunters to die outside, and many have also been killed by other hunters, but I've never heard of any hunter daring to use Healing Cult weapons.

This is a serious act of provocation!

"You first need to explain the origin of the Holy Sword to the judge, and our task is to get you to the judgment seat alive. Whether you are crippled or not is not important."

The leader was already very impatient.

Bai Miao shrugged: "This is indeed not the place to talk. I'll go with you."

The moment Bai Miao stepped out the door, the hunters of the Healing Cult surrounded him.

"Can we all calm down? I know your sect's priest Carlos Aisara to some extent, and I even helped her heal Sister Atalina. Do you think I would be detrimental to the Healing Cult with that kind of relationship?"

Upon hearing Carlos's name, the leader's expression softened slightly, but he still said in a procedural manner, "Let's talk about it on the judgment seat."

He waved his hands to both sides, and the hunters who had gathered around dispersed a little, but still watched Bai Miao warily.

Under such a large-scale "escort," Bai Miao arrived in the area under the jurisdiction of the Healing Cult by carriage.

The Healing Cult's trial bench is located in a church, and there are many such churches throughout the west.

In terms of the severity of the matter, killing a Healing Cult hunter and using his weapon is nowhere near as serious as Favre killing the nuns within the Healing Cult.

Hunters within the Healing Cult are the lowest-ranking members besides ordinary believers; of course, those who become legendary hunters will have a higher status.

Normally, only one or two hunters would come to arrest the criminals in this kind of situation. The fact that so many came is just because these hunters wanted to stand up for their colleagues and seek justice.

There weren't many high-ranking members of the Healing Cult present in the dock; only a priest was there as a symbolic judge.

Bai Miao walked onto the judge's platform and said before the pastor could speak, "I want to see Pastor Carlos Aisara. I will not say anything until I see her."

The Healing Cult is not small; they control a quarter of the city of Yar. However, Bai Miao is certain that Sister Atalina and Priest Carlos hold significant positions within the cult.

Atalina is in charge of baptism for all hunters.

Furthermore, the church where Atalina was temporarily imprisoned was the most magnificent one.

Upon hearing Carlos's name, the judge hesitated for a moment, but then nodded and instructed the hunter to invite Carlos over.

Carlos arrived very quickly; she even ran there.

Upon seeing Bai Miao on the judgment seat, she asked anxiously, "Dr. Moriarty, did you kill our Healing Cult's hunter and seize his weapon?"

Bai Miao shook his head: "No, I just wanted to use this method to make you come to me on your own initiative. After all, your people probably wouldn't pay attention to me if I used other methods, and this method is quite efficient, isn't it?"

Even if Bai Miao requested to see Carlos to explain the situation, it would become extremely inefficient due to the layers of information transmission.

Only when these hunters are dealing with events that are highly relevant to them will they honestly relay the message.

"As for the source of the weapon, it is related to Abyss Street, and I think I should have met Sister Atalina in Abyss Street as well."

As she spoke, Bai Miao recounted how she found the Holy Sword inside Jero's stomach in Abyss Street, the nun in the basement, and the message she wanted to convey to Karlrens.

To gain the trust of the Healing Cult, there can be no hiding anything about this matter.

After listening, Carlos fell into a long silence: "Dr. Moriarty... are you sure you're telling the truth?"

"Of course it's the truth. I have no conflict of interest with you, and you saw the effect when you treated Atalina, although I don't know if you found Atalina afterward."

Carlos said with some regret, "Atalina... was hunted down and killed by Favre. We don't know why Favre did it, but we will definitely make him pay for it in blood."

These words sounded rather unconvincing to Bai Miao.

Carlos also understood that a hunter of Favre's caliber was not someone the Healing Cult could stop.

Their goals are not on the same level.

Favre took the hunt to the extreme, never failing once. What he ultimately wanted to hunt was a higher-level being.

The Healing Cult, however, is racking its brains to find a way to break free from the nightmare.

"That's quite a pity... By the way, did you take back the tools I used for treatment?"

Carlos said somewhat awkwardly, "Dr. Moriarty, after learning that your gadget was the key to treating Atalina, the psychiatrists within the cult took it to conduct research."

Bai Miao used psychoanalysis on Carlos, which also deducted nearly twenty points of his mental strength.

Carlos's spiritual form is a long-snouted monster with slender limbs and covered in white fur, holding a thick book in its hand.

At the same time, Bai Miao also noticed that Carlos's mental energy was not at its maximum at the moment, but rather he was in a state of considerable fatigue.

"Carlos, have you not slept at all these days?"

Carlos glanced at Bai Miao and nodded: "I've been plagued by nightmares these past two days and haven't been able to sleep."

"I wanted to talk to you about the nightmares. I think I might be able to help your healing cult resolve this issue. At least I'm willing to give it a try."

Bai Miao changed the subject: "But before that, you have to return my things first."

Carlos said with difficulty, "I can't make that decision. Perhaps you need to talk to those psychiatrists yourself."

"No problem. Oh, then what about my trial...?"

"If you can resolve the nightmare problem, then you will be the chief physician of the Healing Cult, and you will not be subject to any orders or affiliation of the Healing Cult."

Carlos did not immediately declare Bai Miao innocent, but instead allowed Bai Miao to demonstrate his own value.

Although she hadn't been getting enough rest these past few days, she wasn't easily intimidated by Bai Miao.

Bai Miao is a rehabilitation doctor with unique expertise in treating mental health issues, which Carlos has witnessed firsthand, so she is willing to let Bai Miao give it a try.

Arranging for Bai Miao to interact with other psychiatrists was also intended to test Bai Miao's abilities.

If he can't even get his own things back, Carlos will never believe that Bai Miao can solve the nightmare problem.

Led by Carlos, Bai Miao arrived at the psychiatrists' research lab.

As doctors trained within the Healing Cult, they only treat members of the Healing Cult. Each of them examined Atalina's condition, but none of them could help.

When they learned that Atalina's condition had improved thanks to a doctor who had once been a hunter, no one believed it.
