So I'm a sheep.

.......................................

Breakthrough? I wouldn't call it a breakthrough.

The case has become even more complicated!

"The church bishop abducted Saya and fled to escape punishment. What is he after?!"

The sheriff was furious, but Jim was fast asleep.

There was no other way; he hadn't slept for days and nights, and his last bit of energy was gone. He almost fell asleep standing up.

Half-asleep... a deafening snoring sound began.

"Jim!!!"

The man snapped to attention and stood ramrod straight: "Yes, sir!"

"You should go back and rest for a day."

The sheriff, barely suppressing his anger, said, "And gentlemen, get ready. All vacations are canceled until Saya is found!"

"Yes!"

The escaped bishop was quickly found by the menacing police officers, but the girl was not with him.

"Confess honestly, confess honestly!"

"What are you plotting? Why are you so obsessed with Saya? Is she alive or dead? Why are you doing this?"

"..."

Jim paced back and forth in front of the bishop, he was practically going crazy.

"Young man, you can't get things done if you're in a hurry," the old man said gently.

"Don't try to lecture me, you criminal!"

Jim's eyes widened: "Do you know how much pressure we're under? Do you know that if we can't solve this case, our boss will have to resign?"

"You don't know, you don't know anything!"

"Oh, I'm so sorry."

"Ha, just wait and see how you regret it."

Jim said coldly, "Father Paul has been excommunicated. Although you are of a higher rank than him, do you really think the Church will protect you to the death?"

"If you want to confess and receive leniency, now's the time!"

..........................................

The 'Saya Incident' continues to escalate, with more than 20 clergy members arrested in the past six months, including many highly respected bishops.

As the media fueled the fire, the case gradually became shrouded in a terrifying atmosphere.

Yes, it has a terrifying aspect!

"That girl must be possessed by a demon, otherwise how could she have bewitched so many bishops?"

“No one confessed; they all believed they were following the will of the Seraphim.”

"That's terrifying..."

An atmosphere of terror began to spread across the country, and as things were about to spiral out of control, the special security department declared its responsibility for the case.

A large amount of manpower and resources have been mobilized. The highest level has given the order: Saya must be found dead or alive!

Within days, the news caused a national sensation.

Archbishop Collivier, one of the highest-ranking members of the secret church, has been captured.

Why did you do that?

"Isn't Saya already dead? Who are you working for?"

"Archbishop Colliver, we know you are the mastermind behind this!"

"..."

"Gentlemen, you know nothing."

Cliff said calmly, "I will answer all your questions except where the saint is now."

"I swear in the name of the goddess, I will not lie."

"Alright alright."

A gloomy-faced middle-aged man was the first to ask: "Why do you all call Saya a 'saint'?"

"A reincarnation of a seraphim is naturally a saint."

"How do you know she's an angel reincarnated? What supernatural powers did that girl display?"

Everyone was extremely nervous. Now that things had come to this, they had no choice but to consider this absurd possibility!

"The saint is being tested by the great goddess, who has not shown any supernatural power."

Clive smiled and said, "But I can see."

"See what?"

"In a moment of enlightenment, I saw the light."

.............................................

"Light?"

"An indescribable light surrounded the saint, but alas, only the most devout believers could vaguely glimpse it."

"..."

"Haha, I know what you guys are thinking. I'm willing to have a physical exam."

Cliff said with a chuckle, "I'm not an addict, and the saint didn't give me anything strange to eat."

"Can I understand it this way? You have never restricted Saya's freedom."

"certainly"

"Then why doesn't she contact the police? What is she afraid of?" the man asked, utterly puzzled.

“The sage is not afraid of anything; she is accumulating strength.”

"Accumulate, power?"

Colliffer's smile faded: "Gentlemen, the saint is about to wage war."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

"A holy war, a great war of faith!"

"The road ahead is difficult, but I firmly believe—we will win!"

Volume 1: Chapter 546 It's none of my business!

Archbishop Collivier's medical results came back; naturally, the elderly are not as healthy as the young.

However, he was definitely not a drug addict and showed no signs of drug abuse!

"..."

"Could it be that a religious fanatic has emerged and is preparing to launch a holy war against the secret church?"

"How could she persuade so many religious figures, including Archbishop Clifton, in such a short time?"

This problem is simply unsolvable, yet they must give the public an explanation and a reasonable conclusion.

otherwise......

After a sigh of relief, someone said, "Let's contact the church. This matter can only be resolved with the cooperation of both sides."

"At all costs and by any means necessary, find Saya immediately!"

The consultations with the secret church went very smoothly, with the church leadership willing to cooperate unconditionally and actively with all the security bureau's operations.

In fact, the church is already in a terrible predicament. If the situation continues to develop unchecked, it could very likely trigger a nationwide crisis of faith.

The Security Bureau, in conjunction with the secret church, issued a public statement claiming that Archbishop Colliver was manipulated by foreign forces and meticulously orchestrated this conspiracy.

Saya is not an angel reincarnated, nor is she possessed by a demon; she is just a human girl!

As for what role she played in this 'farce', whether she was a pitiful victim manipulated by Clive or an accomplice, it remains unknown for the time being.

Once this explanation was given, most people accepted it.

However, rather than considering her as an accomplice, most people believe that the girl is the victim.

After all, how could such a young girl possibly cooperate with a cunning and well-connected archbishop?

Three days after the public statement, the girl who had seemingly vanished was finally found.

It is said that at the time, she was training with a punching bag in a private underground gym, accompanied by some bishops.

Upon seeing a group of heavily armed special forces soldiers burst through the door, the girl immediately covered her head with her hands and lay face down on the ground without saying a word.

"I'll cooperate, I surrender, please don't shoot me in the back!!!"

.....................................

The Supreme Court held a public hearing for the case, and Clifton and Shaye, the two most key figures in the case, were naturally present throughout.

The outcome was already predetermined; Cliff would spend the rest of his life in prison for 'treason'.

Saya will be acquitted, after all, she is, and can only be, a pitiful victim.

However, considering her dangerousness, the security agency has decided to confine her to a notorious mental asylum until she dies of old age.

What was supposed to be a perfunctory trial took an unexpected turn midway through.

"I question the authenticity and reliability of this psychiatric evaluation report."

Sasha said calmly, "I have reason to suspect that the Hidden Church pressured the authentication agency to produce a false report."

"This is slander!"

"quiet!"
