Let them offer their loyalty

Five, four, three...

His pace was not slow, and just when he reached zero in his mind, he heard the voice of a girl behind him:

"Wait a minute..."

When Jonas heard this, he turned around with a smile and pretended to know nothing and asked:

"Is there anything else?"

After stopping Jonas, Miss Nora began to struggle. After a long while, she seemed to have made some important decision and said with some humiliation:

"Can... can I see the necklace on Mr. Jonas's chest...?"

Hearing this, Jonas' smile grew even wider.

"of course can."

"But...Miss Nora needs to pay a price."

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

PS: I woke up and found it was already evening. I broke my promise before 7 o’clock. Sorry.

PS2: At the suggestion of a friend, two new gifts were added to the prize pool.

Custom mouse pad, and custom night light.

Chapter 186: How beautiful is the Holy Maiden of the Void Realm Sect?

Jonas Wettin, you shameless man!

Looking at the messy room and the clothes left behind by the man, Nora's face showed a rare expression of shame and humiliation.

The last time I showed this expression was last time (×)

Well, putting all that aside, although Nora's memory of what happened just now was vague, she at least recorded the experience completely.

While secretly making a note of this in her mind, Nora had to admit that her resistance to this type of gem was indeed much higher.

If I couldn't look away after taking one look before, now I can barely be said to be able to recognize the danger and refuse it at the first moment... Although it is only a small breakthrough, at least I can have a certain resistance when encountering similar incidents, and I won't fall completely like before.

Of course, these are just Miss Nora's words to comfort herself. We should ask the person concerned about his true inner thoughts.

——I always regret it, very much.

Let’s not talk about Miss Nora’s subtle psychology for now.

There has been some progress in the matter that I had previously asked Miss Eiffel to investigate.

Leaning on the sofa in the office, Jonas couldn't help but frowned as he listened to the report from the girl in front of him.

"At first we didn't find any clues about the owner of the Angus area... The other party did a very good job of keeping secrets, and all clues pointing to the other party were destroyed. Under this situation, it was actually difficult for us to make any progress."

Although Eiffel's words were very tactful, Jonas still heard the deeper meaning in his words.

With Alte Company's current intelligence system, it is almost impossible to investigate the other party.

But since Miss Eiffel came to see him, she must have made some breakthroughs in the investigation. Sure enough, after seeing Jonas frowning slightly, Eiffel raised the corners of her mouth, then smiled and said:

"However, I found some clues on a certain website... It was a post discussing the existing consortium families in District 25. It listed all the consortium families from 120 years ago to the present day... It is worth mentioning that the Weiting Consortium is only ranked seventh."

As if she realized that she had gone off topic, the girl's cheeks turned slightly red. She coughed twice and then spoke:

"This was originally just an ordinary post... and it also discussed the declining consortiums from 120 years ago to the present. The most mysterious of them was the Smith family. This consortium was once quite glorious in District 25, and was ranked in the top ten. However, for some reason, as time passed, the Smith Consortium was gradually buried in history."

"What is worth noting is that in the responses regarding the Smith family, some people said that the Smith family has not declined, but is controlling the economy of many areas in District 25 in a more secretive way."

"It's not surprising that this conspiracy theory has emerged... After all, there are rumors on the Internet that Mr. Jonas has some kind of improper relationship with Ms. Chelsea from the Nathan Foundation. The credibility of this rumor without evidence is almost zero."

Jonas felt a little embarrassed, and then he heard Eiffel continue to speak:

"But what's strange is that all the views related to this conspiracy theory were deleted by the system within minutes of being posted."

Eiffel did not notice Jonas's expression, but continued speaking:

"I asked Iris to retrieve the background data of that forum and found that those comments were not deleted by the forum administrators, but were automatically deleted by the system after someone tampered with sensitive words."

"Afterwards, we checked several large forums and found that the backend of almost every large forum had traces of tampering... The other party did it very cleanly and made almost no mistakes, so naturally it did not attract the attention of the forum administrators. However, there is always a loophole. Miss Iris still tracked the other party's IP through the traces left by the other party when tampering with the backend..."

Hearing this, Jonas had roughly guessed where things were going, and he confirmed:

"Is it...Angus District?"

"Yes."

Eiffel nodded, and then spoke as if he had made a final decision:

"There is no doubt that the owner of the Angus black market has an inseparable relationship with the Smith family that disappeared decades ago."

“We can even boldly speculate that the owner behind the Angus District is the heir of this area of ​​the Smith family.”

After hearing this, Jonas was silent for a long while, and then he said with some sigh:

"It seems that we have accidentally brought up a major incident..."

The family that disappeared decades ago... was inexplicably connected to the Xujing Sect.

This also coincides with Jonas's guess...The Void Realm Sect does not seem to be a simple force, and their rise is definitely not just related to the psychic tide incident a few months ago.

The Void Realm Sect may have appeared decades ago... and has been lurking in District 25.

Thinking of this, Jonas waved his hand and said:

"The investigation into the Angus area can be temporarily suspended."

There is no doubt that the relationship between the other party and the Holy Lady of the Void Realm Sect is definitely not as simple as he thought.

Although the behind-the-scenes owner of the Angus District showed goodwill to him, it did not mean that the Saint of the Void Realm Church had the same attitude.

The factions within the Void Realm Sect might be more complicated than he had imagined.

"So, should we continue the investigation into the Saintess of the Void Realm Church?"

Eiffel asked.

"Of course, it would be even better if we could lure the other party out..."

Jonas smiled and then said:

"Send some people to the slums to see if they can sneak in when the Void Realm Church accepts the next batch of believers."

"Ah."

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

Neilnis District, an inconspicuous fourth-level district.

Even among the slums, the Niernis district is definitely one of the remote ones.

But no one knows that this is actually one of the largest strongholds of the Void Realm Sect.

This "cult organization" that became famous a few months ago for promoting the theory of annihilation has grown to an extremely terrifying scale after a few months of development.

Of course, this does not count the hidden power of the Void Realm Religion, and it is just the scale of its development in the past few months... This is a very outrageous level of infection, so outrageous that the peacekeeping force could not sit idly by and watch the development of the Void Realm Religion. After the Void Realm Religion had developed for a period of time, the peacekeeping force directly ordered the ban on the Void Realm Religion, and officially classified this new religion as a cult.

But looking at what the Void Realm Sect has done, it is not an exaggeration to call it a cult.

Although there have been no believers in District 25 who have taken any extreme actions because of the Void Realm Sect, its teachings have undoubtedly had a great impact on District 25. This may not be reflected among young people, but many middle-aged and elderly people firmly believe in the teachings of the Void Realm Sect.

——The world will eventually be destroyed, and as agents of the virtual world, they will become the creators of the rules in the new world.

This kind of teaching, which sounds extremely dangerous, was naturally banned by the authorities. Fortunately, the Xujing Sect did not take any actions to retaliate against society during the period when it was at its most powerful, otherwise the authorities would have suffered heavy losses again.

Especially after the attack in the Heros region, peacekeeping leaders are increasingly worried about the possibility of similar attacks.

Because of this, the most likely "suspect" of this crime, the Xujing Sect, suffered further oppression from the authorities, and all of their strongholds were driven into the slums and third-level areas.

And this just happens to be in line with the development policy of the Void Realm Sect... It seems to be a revenge against the Void Realm Sect, but in fact it is a win-win action.

The Void Realm Cult gained the mass base they wanted, while the peacekeeping force calmed the complaints of the wealthy people in the secondary and primary areas.

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

At this time, a brutal purge was taking place in the Neilnis district.

In the crowd, a woman in black nun's uniform was standing above the crowd, overlooking the devout believers at her feet.

Behind her, there was an inverted cross. The face of the person on top of the cross could not be seen clearly. Countless thorns and vines bound him tightly.

The black nun's uniform seemed to have life, the black on it seemed to be wriggling. The woman's expression was holy, but there was an emotion of indifference in her eyes.

This extreme contrast made her look even more unapproachable. Her noble temperament and indifferent eyes added a sense of unattainability. Although she was wearing the nun's uniform, she clearly exuded a sense of superiority.

Combined with the inverted cross behind her, it looks like a ghost nun who has turned against her master and is praying for him after killing him.

And beneath her, the devout believers kneeling in worship made the scene look even more bizarre.

"Fools of the old times...ugly souls tainted by money."

The woman in black nun's uniform spoke slowly, but there was no disgust in her tone. She narrated calmly, and the only thing that could be heard was a hint of sadness.

In front of her were several tied-up young people, both men and women. They looked at the woman in front of them wearing nun's clothes with somewhat frightened expressions.

"Let us go, let us go. I was also ordered by others."

The tied-up man kneeling on the ground spoke with a trembling voice, his head buried low, not daring to look up and meet the eyes of the woman in front of him. He could only nod continuously in the hope that she would let him go.

They knew very well that this girl, known as the Saint of the Void Realm Church, was not a good person.

The lives of oneself and others, or the lives of all people, are like grass in the eyes of the other party.

But even if there is no hope, this is their last chance to survive.

However, the ending was destined to disappoint them.

The woman was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said in a disappointed tone:

"Dirty soul, I was willing to believe you..."

“But now, He has given me the answer.”

At this point, the disappointment in the woman's eyes completely turned into indifference, and then she spoke softly:

“He said, you are still not qualified to be citizens of the new kingdom.”

Hearing this, the believers who were kneeling on the stage with pious expressions quickly looked at the young men tied on the stage with hatred.

There was no light in the eyes of these believers, as if their minds had been corroded. They looked at the young people on the stage with cold eyes, as if they were looking at a dying person.

Upon hearing this, the faces of the young men tied up on the stage changed drastically. Just as they were about to speak, their mouths were blocked and they were pushed off the stage by the guards beside the woman in nun's clothes.

Their mouths were gagged, their bodies were bound, and they were thrown heavily to the ground.

The believers around ignored these people and continued to look at the woman in nun's clothes on the stage with pious expressions.

She seemed a little annoyed. She just took a look and turned away.

After watching the woman leave, all the believers looked at the young men who had just been thrown off the stage.

The eyes of these believers were strange, without any emotion, which made people shudder.

In particular, everyone's movements were in unison, like puppets with the same face, being manipulated, with stiff expressions, looking at these young people.

These young men with their hands and feet tied seemed to realize something, and despair appeared in their eyes.

They wanted to beg for mercy, to cry out, to ask for help.

But their mouths were completely blocked and they could only make "wuwu" sounds.

The believers approached them, and the group of young people seemed to realize something and kept kicking... but it was no use.

The believers began to twist their limbs, then to pull out their hair, cut their skin, and tear their flesh.

The blood stained the ground red, just as described in the scriptures.

“When the days of his purification are fulfilled, whether for a son or a daughter, he shall bring a one-year-old lamb for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering to the priest at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

The priest shall present it before the LORD and make atonement for him, and his blood will be cleansed.”

What a foul blood...

This is not killing...it's atonement.
