After searching around a few more times, I discovered that this place was less like a bookshelf and more like a museum of sins, containing records of the crimes committed by almost all the famous people. I don't know if it was kept here for blackmail or as leverage.

However, some of them have obvious weaknesses that have been exploited.

"Yilian, come and see this!" Li Ge said.

Yi Lian hurried over and found Li Ge frowning as she looked at a letter.

"This is……"

“The Heavenly Ritual…” Li Ge began slowly.

"Hmm?" Yilian asked.

Li Ge slowly pushed the letter in front of him, and Yi Lian froze on the spot after reading it.

“We were wrong. The Heavenly Ritual… is actually a ritual in which the Son of God eats the fruit that represents ‘purity’ and is thus elevated…” Li Ge said slowly.

In that instant, Yi Lian was greatly alarmed.

Although he had just seen many records in the Sin Museum, he did not look at them in detail, because the first book he picked up was a gossip record, namely the tragic love story between the current president and the former president.

Then a photo of two old men pressed together in the record made him feel nauseous, and he kept assuming that all similar records that followed were like that.

He immediately returned to the Hall of Sin and began to open the other documents instead of just looking at a cover. In that instant, he froze on the spot.

Sure enough, he wasn't suited for intelligence work, because he genuinely felt a sense of...anger!

“Only the children of the gods can ascend to Heaven, and the ritual is completed after they consume the fruit that represents purity,” Li Ge said slowly.

"The divine children are those nearly ten thousand people who came here, and the fruits of purity..."

"It's us!"

“They will eat our bodies, our souls, and even our excrement. They believe that by eating everything of the Children of Purity, they can also become pure and ascend to heaven.”

"No wonder, even nuns are above us in status!"

Yi Lian couldn't hold back any longer and said, "But I always thought 'cannibalism' was an adjective. You're telling me it's a noun description without any rhetoric?"

"Does that mean that the divine children Zero saw eating roasted meat with excrement, that meat was..."

“The flesh of the Son of Purity…” Li Ge added.

"Ugh..." Yi Lian suddenly felt an indescribable reaction.

In particular, when he thought of Zero lying in the ventilation duct, looking down at the God Children eating meat and indescribable things, his spiritual vision was too low at the time, and he thought that the most disgusting thing was just the Snow Eater.

Unexpectedly, what was truly terrifying was the roasted meat that he hadn't noticed at all... To this day, the child still doesn't know what kind of hell he had witnessed.

“We don’t have time to be angry, Xiaoye and Valerie are in danger.” Li Ge, on the other hand, didn’t react so strongly and said directly.

Just then, the radio they had been carrying with them started playing a completely different sound.

"Run! We're about to destroy this place..."

"There will be no one on guard in the cave beneath the church during the banquet. Use the yacht there to escape quickly!"

"Run! We can't save you... We can't save everyone... We'll save whoever can escape..."

The radio broadcast completely different content.

At that moment, Li Ge and Yi Lian immediately connected all the intelligence.

Whether it was factional infighting or simply that the paladins disapproved of another faction's rituals, they discovered the sordidness here.

For a long time, they were fighting in private. Led by the old pope, the paladins tried to find enough information and evidence to expose what was happening here, and even hired hackers to attack the place, so that Gensokyo is now completely detached from information technology and even has a primitive and natural design.

Most of the lamps in the city were oil lamps, and communication was entirely done on paper—all consequences of the paladins' attacks.

However, the Gensokyo forces, led by the Divine Child, directly launched assassinations, killing off the Holy Knights one by one.

The paladins then decided to completely destroy the place.

These innocent children were merely victims and sacrifices in this struggle and game.

However, at least some of the paladins were still thinking about saving them and telling them when they could escape. These paladins probably knew they couldn't save everyone, so they chose to save as many as they could.

They might not even be able to save themselves, yet they still harbor the intention to help these innocent children.

Although they may not be able to rescue anyone due to insufficient ability or power, they can only hope to give the children who still want to escape a direction and a goal, constantly sending signals, like a ghost floating in the sky above Gensokyo.

That's why they say "we can't save you," because they might not even be able to save themselves.

I understand, I understand everything.

At the same time, he also understood why the ability to be born evil had such a great effect. It was equivalent to denying the pursuit of purity by these purity parties from the bottom up. They wanted to be pure and go to heaven, but what if they couldn't go to heaven?

You'll only go to hell!

All the information came together at this moment, weaving together the vast network and main structure of this place called "Gensokyo".

"So the paladins' action time is..."

"Tonight!"

"boom!"

An explosion occurred in the distance, right in the direction of the cathedral!

Chapter 165 Everyone Can Get at the Table

Meanwhile, on Daphne's side...

She actually saw Zero acting suspiciously yesterday and felt that the kid must have some secret. After all, compared to those other fanatical kids, Zero was far too unconventional.

Driven by some kind of intuition, she immediately became friends with Zero and took him under her wing. This led her to find a way to successfully infiltrate the cathedral and even managed to get inside once.

All that intelligence was obtained through these methods. Although the amount of intelligence was not much, it was enough for her.

"So this test is that simple. As long as I dare to sneak into those forbidden places, find the clues left by Charles that allow me to leave, I can just drive the yacht away at this time." She thought to herself.

Most importantly, you need to be bold. Whether it's the confessional or the interior of the cathedral, you need a way to sneak in. Normally, these places are all guarded by those giant nuns.

And whether it was just my imagination or not, the nuns' differential treatment of boys and girls was quite obvious. They always showed some patience towards the boys, but treated the girls like meat on a plate.

She scoffed. But for her, it was fine; she didn't think she could have anything to do with those bastards anyway—those guys who were always in heat, she could smell their stench from a mile away.

So, as long as we can escape from here, that's really easy.

She thought to herself. The cave below was guarded by special personnel, and it was actually a dedicated vehicle used for the temporary procurement of supplies for the divine children. It was usually used by people, and was only chained up after the divine children's banquet began. This was the best opportunity, so she could leave directly.

Although Daphne's intelligence was not as complete as Li Ge's, she had pieced together the key information and laid out a plan.

In other words, as long as she waits until some time before the banquet, she can sneak into the unguarded underground cave, cut the chains, and escape.

Heh, a simple task. As for Li Ge and the others… if she uses this yacht to escape, they either have to stay here and wait to die, or they'll have to find another way to escape. But that doesn't matter; she disdains holding them back at this crucial moment, hoping to surpass that borderline guy and become the top scorer.

Fairies have their pride. She prefers to beat the guy who once defeated her to his knees in a fair and square manner, to see him crawling on his knees in front of her with his buttocks sticking out, to have such a person polish her shoes, or even kiss her toes. That's the kind of scene she likes.

So, just wait and see.

Time ticked by, and when she felt it was about time, she swaggered out of the cabin, heading straight to end this rather boring exam.

"Little girl, where are you headed?" The sudden voice made her turn her head.

She saw two nuns, towering like iron towers. One held a meat cleaver, the other a spoon that resembled a warhammer, and they grinned menacingly at her.

Her brow furrowed. Shouldn't this be the busiest time for these nuns? Why would they be free to come and find her? And…

interesting!

“Zero has disappeared, and the banquet is missing a Pure Child, so you will fill in,” the nun holding the meat cleaver said directly. “Come with us obediently; those divine children have been waiting for a long time!”

Daphne: "?"

After all that, it turns out I was tricked by that underling!

So that's how it is. So that's why Zero was acting so suspiciously, why he kept trying to escape, and why he finally decided to take action today, even leaving me with Charles's information—today was the day he was supposed to join the banquet!

He probably knew, which is why he acted so abnormally, and that's why he was discovered by himself.

So why, if zero was missing, were so many people able to join the banquet, but he specifically chose me? It couldn't possibly be because I stepped out of the room with my left foot, or because I looked at you all as if you were nothing but trash.

“Yes, that’s the look in her eyes. That disgusting look. We’d better take her to the banquet quickly, or the Divine Child will be angry and we won’t get away with it!” said the giant nun holding a spoon that looked like a giant hammer.

Daphne: "?"

So it really was because of the way I looked at them that these people were targeting me?

Seriously, how stupid...

She flexed her fingers, making a crisp "click-click-click" sound.

"I always thought this was too boring," she said with a smile. Even without using psionic energy, her physical skills were among the best, so...

"Come on, let me have some fun, you insane cows." She grinned, issuing a blatant provocation. "Your heads are held too high!"

I haven't even tested the strength of these fighting nuns yet, so I'll just have some fun in the end.

Then, one minute later...

Daphne's arms swung rapidly as she ran faster than a rabbit, her whole body moving as if she were carrying a gust of wind.

"Stop right there, you brat! Weren't you just being a smart aleck?!" Behind them, the giant nuns, whose faces appeared to be scratched, were furious. The large boning knives and spoons in their hands were like swords and warhammers.

It can even shatter a tree as thick as a waist with just one strike.

"If it weren't for saving my psionic energy for leaving, you'd see if I didn't mess with you all!" she said fiercely, still defiantly explaining.

These nuns were stronger than I had imagined, but not quite as strong as I thought.

If she had her original strength, allowing her to unleash the most prized and sacred light magic of the fairy race without restraint, she could have meticulously chopped these nuns into minced meat.

but now……

“Lure them into the cave, then use psychic powers to kill them and escape on the yacht the instant they are killed. Even if I suffer a backlash from the psychic powers, I can still escape…” This was the plan that came to her mind.

Without hesitation, she immediately fled towards the underground cave she had originally planned to visit.

However, she quickly realized something was wrong. It wasn't just those two nuns chasing her anymore; the commotion she had caused had attracted the attention of the other nuns.

And so, she felt as if people from all directions were coming to capture her. Even her original plan to escape towards the cave was thwarted by the blocked road, forcing her to flee into the unknown forest.

"Run, where do you think you're going, you brat!" A voice came from behind her, but she remained unmoved.

However, the number of nuns chasing her had increased to ten.
