The defeated saint is also on the way to tame the evil god today

"Giving power to humans is still too scary."

Aurora stood on tiptoe, reached out to catch a snowflake, and peered at it closely.

Looking at the little guy's actions like a human child, Xing Mo said:

"So, are you disappointed in humans?"

"I'm not disappointed," Aurora smiled brightly. "Because of this group of people, people like you are so precious~"

She blew a breath, blowing away the snowflakes in her palm and staring at their swaying falling trajectory:

"Your power is greater than any of them. If you wish, you can set all of Wintershire on fire with your fire."

"You may not have the power to rule the world, but if you wish, you will have a seat on the highest throne in the world."

"And yet you're trying to seek justice for the little girl's mother."

"When you say that, I feel stupid." Xing Mo said lightly.

"No, you're the best."

Aurora suddenly turned around, her eyes suddenly becoming extremely serious:

"You're awesome."

Looking at the serious look in the little girl's eyes, Xingmo suddenly had the urge to pick her up and pull out her fur.

She suppressed her impulse and reached out to pinch Aurora's cheek:

"you are great too."

"Hmm..." Aurora curled her lips, "What's so great about us?"

"Because you actually accompanied such a fool like me to uphold justice." Xing Mo said calmly.

"I told you, you're not stupid at all. You're great." Aurora puffed out her cheeks.

"Oh~" Xingmo smiled and patted Aurora's shoulder, "Well, it's great that you're with me."

Aurora was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly:

"We are so childish..."

"It's indeed childish."

After saying that, they walked around the house and came to the overgrown backyard.

The houses of residents in Winter County are generally large. Because the area is vast and the population is sparse, the areas near the edge are basically single-family buildings.

However, the detached houses here have nothing to do with wealth. In fact, detached houses in the suburbs are much cheaper than townhouses near the town center.

Entering the courtyard, Xingmo activated his spiritual vision and took a rough look.

There are no particularly obvious traces... The flow of spiritual energy is relatively normal...

"To be infected with Nightmare Disease, there must be a medium." Xing Mo frowned slightly. "Aurora, what do you think?"

She looked up and found that Aurora had already run to the corner of the yard, looking into the well:

"Wow, come and see, it's a big surprise."

A big surprise? Xing Mo walked forward, opened his spiritual vision beside the well and looked inside, and suddenly got goose bumps -

——Full of black pollution.

"So... the old woman was contaminated by something in the well?" Xingmo turned her head away from the well.

"She can't go too far away because of her illness, right?" Aurora said with a smile.

Someone has contaminated the well... Is it the underground river that's been polluted? Or is someone poisoning the well?

No...it definitely wasn't poisoning. Who would harm an old woman with no social status for no reason?

That means the underground river is polluted... This is even worse...

Since it's a water source issue, then Miss Ina should also have the seeds of nightmare...

Give her a bottle of potion to dispel the evil later.

Xing Mo thought about it, picked up the iron bucket next to the well, threw it into the deep well, and then pulled up a bucket of water.

Looking at the water filled with black air, Xingmo took out the "Astrological Pendulum".

She immersed it in water, allowing the black energy to enter the interior of the cloudy crystal.

Soon, the interior of the pendulum was filled with black gas.

"This can be used to trace the source of pollution." Xingmo said.

"I know, it's a gift from my sister. I've used it before..." Aurora pouted slightly.

I get jealous when my sister is mentioned. Who is this jealous little girl?

Xingmo smiled and helped Aurora pull up her knitted hat, saying:

"Then let's go track the target."

As he said this, Xingmo poured spiritual power into the pendulum, and the turbid crystal floated slightly and pointed in one direction.

Xingmo and Aurora followed the direction indicated by the pendulum and came to the street, moving forward.

They soon left the edge of town and set foot on the dirt road in the countryside.

After walking in the heavy snow for about twenty minutes, the outline of the Black Forest gradually emerged among the hazy snowflakes.

"As expected..." Xing Mo murmured.

Before, the followers of the Red Moon Cult also fled towards the Black Forest.

Now, the entrance to the underground river, which is the source of the pollution, is also inside the Black Forest.

Excluding the possibility of the Imperials putting the blame on others, the only possibility is that the Order poisoned Winter County.

"How about it? Are you planning to catch them all today?" Aurora tightened her scarf.

"At least we can't let them poison again." Xing Mo said.

So, the two of them entered from the edge of the forest and walked into the darkness.

The black pine trees almost covered the entire sky, making the interior of the forest dark and gloomy. From time to time, the cries of unknown creatures could be heard from the bushes.

As we go deeper, the amplitude of the "Astrological Pendulum" becomes larger and larger, and it is obvious that we are getting closer and closer to the source of gravity.

At this moment, Xingmo suddenly felt a flash of inspiration.

She yanked out her wand, deployed her astral shield—

"bass--"

Three or four arrows flew in from the woods, were deflected by the shield, and fell into the snow.

Xing Mo opened the tree's vision and instantly locked onto several figures lurking in the branches.

——They were wearing dark red robes, with leaves covering the outside of the robes.

What? There's no intention of hiding anything!

Xingmo drew out his wand, plucked the dark strings, and stretched out his hand to grab forward.

She grabbed a ball of tangled black silk threads, and at the same time, the ambushers were instantly bound by the threads and unable to move.

Seizing this opportunity, Xing Mo planned to kill them directly, but before she could do anything, a gunshot was heard beside her -

"Bam—"

"Bang bang——"

"Bang bang——"

Five bullets accurately hit the believers' eyebrows, and they immediately fell from the branches and hit the ground.

Xingmo turned around and saw Aurora holding a long steam musket and pulling the bolt cleanly and neatly.

With a "ding" sound, the old magazine popped out, and Aurora neatly stuffed the new magazine in from above.

"There are others." Aurora said calmly, picking up her gun and turning to the woods nearby.

"Bang—bang bang bang—"

The high-pressure steam generated by the string spit out the bullets like sharp swords. Every moment the bullets accurately hit a dark shadow in the forest, knocking them to the ground.

Xingmo put down his wand and stared blankly at Aurora as she repeated the same action until there was no more movement in the forest.

"Ding--"

The last magazine popped out, Aurora reloaded, and then put the rifle behind her back.

She looked at Xingmo's astonished expression, then looked at the bone wand in Xingmo's hand, and smiled brightly:

"Little Saint, this thing is much more useful than your magic wand."

"Where...where did you take it out from?" Xingmo pointed weakly at the musket behind Aurora.

"Is it strange that the evil god can perform magic?" Aurora tilted her head.

OK... you're awesome...

Xingmo sighed and walked towards the body of a believer to confirm his identity.

At this moment, she suddenly felt the sound of air being torn apart in the forest behind her.

"Om-"

Xingmo turned his head suddenly, pulled out his staff and shot. The black silk thread instantly entangled the target flying in the air.

Aurora also drew her musket, ready to kill the attacker controlled by Xingmo.

But when Xing Mo saw her face clearly, he immediately stopped her loudly:

"Aurora! Stop!"

She recognized the guy who flew out inexplicably at a glance - wasn't that the guerrilla fighter she met on the train!

The guy was struggling in mid-air. She was furious the second before, but when she saw Xingmo's face clearly the next second, she was stunned.

"Are you... that loser Sanxian?"

"What sanxian?" Aurora frowned. "But our little saint is..."

"Yes, it's me," Xing Mo said, "What happened to you, Sanxian? Weren't you being held in the air by Sanxian's backhand?"

The guerrilla's expression suddenly became as ugly as someone who doesn't like cilantro and has eaten it. She struggled feebly in the air for a long time, then dejectedly pleaded:

"Put me down..."

Xingmo raised the corners of her mouth slightly, waved her wand, and the guerrillas fell to the ground.

At this time, the woods on both sides began to rustle.

Xing Mo turned around and saw two familiar faces appear——

——It’s Chloe, and another guerrilla.

"Ms. Jadeti?"

Chloe, the commander of the Kite Wing Guerrilla, was filled with astonishment.

"You...how did you..."

"I came for a walk in the forest. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence." Xing Mo waved her hand slightly.

"She can use the power of shadows!" The guerrillas were terrified. "That's... that's the power of the cult!"

"I learned it on the street." Xingmo explained.

"That's the power of the shadow! Have you...have you surrendered..."

The guerrillas looked terrified. Xingmo thought Chloe had told her everything about herself, but now it seemed she had only told her part.

She looked at Chloe beside her and found that the little guerrilla leader seemed extremely embarrassed.

"that..."

Chloe swallowed.

"Anyway...long time no see, Dr. Jadeti."

Is there anyone who can resolve the awkwardness like you... Xing Mo smiled slightly and stepped forward and said:
