Crime rates in the West Side have hit new highs again; who should be held responsible?

Looking at the headlines of these reports, Locke roughly knew the content of the news.

He had assumed that the Queen's return to control of public opinion would restrict the publication of such news and create a harmonious news environment in the country, but to his surprise, the Tumen Times reported on it even more intensely than other newspapers.

Locke deduced two possibilities from this.

First, the Queen was indeed consciously pushing these issues to escalate, exacerbating domestic conflicts.

Secondly, the Queen wanted to cover up the fact that she was manipulating public opinion, so that the public would believe that the Tumen Times was still the most impartial newspaper, daring to report any news.

After quickly glancing at the newspaper, Locke walked to the entrance of the Sixth Bureau of Investigation.

Good morning, Locke. Did you sleep well last night?

With his investigator uniform open, the flamboyant Sieg asked from behind the doorframe.

Now that he wears the witch's red crystal pendant, he unleashes his charm even more unrestrainedly. Fortunately, there are no infatuated women in the Bureau of Exorcism.

"Good morning, Sieg. I only slept for four or five hours last night, and I'm still a little sleepy."

Locke said honestly.

"Me too, we are all warriors who fight at night, and the daytime is not so friendly to us."

Sieg smiled and put his hand on Locke's shoulder.

"Don't say things that could be misunderstood. I thought you were vampires."

Angela passed by from behind.

Dimo chuckled and raised his bottle. "A new pub opened in the East District. Anyone interested in coming with me tonight? There's a drinking contest, but it has to be between two people. Angela doesn't want to come with me. Sig, Locke, which of you two is more interested in trying this delicious rum?"

"Sorry, I don't have time."

Locke rejected Dimo ​​outright.

"The director called everyone to his office for a meeting."

Robson walked out of Mrs. Freya's office and spoke to the group of people approaching him.

"Is it because of what happened to Her Highness yesterday? Have you explained why we didn't go on strike?"

Sieg asked.

Robson shook his head. "I don't know what it is either. Mrs. Freya just informed me."

"Let's go, it seems something big has happened."

"Could it be related to the West End riots?"

"It's hard to say about these things."

The investigators discussed their options and arrived at Director Reines's office. Boyd was already inside, but he was far away from the director, as if there was a mountain between them.

Just as they were feeling awkward, the investigators arrived.

Sieg took the initiative to stand in the position closest to Rhaenys, wanting to test his charm and see if he could attract her.

Robson stood next to Sieg, Angela and Dimmel stood in the middle, and Locke chose to stand with his partner Boyd, which was a tradition of the team.

"Stop looking at me like that. If you look at me like that again, I'll gouge your eyes out and feed them to the dogs. That's not how you use weird stuff."

Renis ripped the red crystal pendant off Sig's neck and threw it into Sig's hand.

Sieg swallowed hard and immediately put it into his pocket.

Sure enough, while this thing can enhance charm, it's not to the point of being indiscriminate in its effects on humans and animals.

A monster like Rhaenys wouldn't be attracted to male charm.

"Chief, I took the initiative to ask everyone to escort the princess yesterday, and I have already written a report on this matter."

Locke wrote down what happened yesterday and handed it to Rhaenys.

Renis nodded slightly, appreciating Locke's caution.

She put the report aside and said,

"You all need to finish what you're doing and get ready. Her Majesty the Queen will be visiting the West End to comfort the unemployed workers. The date is set for the eve of Life Day."

January 1st of each year is the Life Festival of the Church of Life. Most of the people in the Kingdom of Tumen are members of the Church of Life, so the whole country celebrates the Life Festival.

This is similar to Christmas and the Spring Festival in Locke's previous life.

"Today is already December 20th, and we only have less than half a month to prepare. It's all too rushed."

Angela said.

"Be content, at least the director didn't tell us a day in advance."

Dimo comforted her.

Renis said with a serious expression,

“This operation is public. Her Majesty the Queen will inform everyone today that she will visit unemployed workers in the West End on December 30th. Do you know what that means?”

"It means a huge crowd and many dangers."

Locke muttered to himself.

Everyone turned to look at him.

Although he spoke very softly, his answer stood out because everyone else was very quiet.

Renis nodded slightly.

"Yes, it means we must be extremely careful. Her Majesty's safety is of utmost importance. The Church has entrusted us with full responsibility for Her Majesty's safety."

"The cunning church, don't they send anyone?"

Sieg asked.

"Don't forget, half of our salaries are paid by the church."

Renis reminded him, "This matter is very important. Boyd and Locke, one of you is meticulous and cautious, and the other used to be a resident of the West End. You two will be responsible for meeting with the Queen's Captain of the Guard. The meeting will be at 10 a.m. tomorrow. Don't forget about it."

"Okay, Director."

Locke received the order and could only sigh inwardly.

He always felt that something might go wrong when the Queen traveled.

Although he was very curious about Her Majesty the Queen, he really didn't want to get close to her at all.

"Alright, do you have anything else to report?"

Renis looked at everyone.

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

"Sieg, did you use the Heart of Dreams to explore Sister Lux's dreams?"

"Renes suddenly asked."

A grim expression appeared on Sieg's face. He swallowed hard. "Chief, could we please not mention it? It's a nightmare."

"Yeah, don't do that again. If you stay inside for too long, you'll get caught."

Renis reminded her.

Sieg nodded.

Then everyone left Renis's office.

Locke looked at Sieg curiously, "You really entered Lux's dream? Why did you call it a nightmare?"

“You simply can’t believe what Lux is doing in her dreams.”

Sieg said.

"What are you doing?"

Dimo and Angela also cast curious glances their way.

"Lux is hailed as the most perfect nun, a woman without flaws. There are no blemishes in her, whether in appearance or personality. She would help everyone in need without expecting anything in return, even a homeless person covered in pus would be treated with kindness by her. Yet, this is the same woman who is constantly killing in the dream world. I finally understand why she is so perfect. An evil soul is sealed in her spiritual world, and all the flaws are borne by this soul. And her dream world is connected to this world. Anyone who enters this dream world will go insane."

Sieg was very candid with his colleagues, sharing all his experiences.

"Then why aren't you crazy?"

Angela asked suspiciously.

"I'm not crazy? How do you know I'm not crazy? I found the healing master, Miss Jacqueline, in time. She saved me with her warmth and fragrance."

Sieg said with a serious expression.

Angela rolled her eyes.

Robson blushed deeply, probably thinking of something inappropriate for children.

Locke was surprised that Lux could seal away all her flaws. Just how wicked was she in the past?

Therefore, the reason her soul is so pure is because she is incomplete.

What would happen if one day this evil soul were released?

“Sieg, I still think you should go and purify it. I mean the Cathedral of Life.”
