This Terra is a little weird.

"Goodbye, Chido."

Tallulah watched Qiduo leave with a smile, she was really relieved. She originally thought that after Achen left, the company would be like a collapsing building and would be unable to continue, but countless loyal people like Qiduo did not leave. They used to be Luo Chen's right-hand men, and now they have become Tallulah's assistants, helping her solve countless cases.

Achen is really good at finding people. There are people willing to follow him wherever he goes.

Especially Qiduo, he is Luo Chen's good brother. Although he can't read a word, he is efficient and brave. It's just that his henpecked husband is a bit laughable. He is such a brave and fearless man, but he becomes dispirited when he sees his wife at home. They also know his wife Tallulah, who is very heroic and reliable.

And their daughter, a little girl named Ming, is only sixteen years old, but knows a lot and is currently attending high school in Longmen.

That’s great! If Luo Chen didn’t leave, their children would be going to elementary school soon.

Tallulah suppressed her emotions and entered Wei Yanwu's home.

Wen Yue greeted Tallulah first, taking her hand and leading her inside.

"Let me tell you, I've been making breakfast for the whole morning, I'm sure you'll be satisfied, so eat more later."

When Tallulah saw the huge table, she couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was a complete waste.

"Aunt, breakfast is too much."

"Alas, the day begins in the morning. You should eat enough in the morning, not too much or too little."

Wei Yanwu exhaled a puff of smoke: "Tallulah is right, you have done too much."

Wen Yue's look made Wei Yanwu swallow his words and he dared not say a word.

"Humph! Smoking so early in the morning, as the governor of Longmen, don't you know what is shame?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Tallulah broke out in a sweat. Her aunt's aura was too strong. No wonder Wei Yanwu was afraid of her. The key was that Wen Yue was not an ordinary female ghost. She had pure blood, rich knowledge, and was steady in her work. She was the think tank behind Wei Yanwu. Over the years, she had been silently supporting Wei Yanwu's governance.

"Eat, eat."

Wen Yue’s cooking is delicious, in a different style from Alina’s, but both make Tallulah feel safe and at home, which is precious.

"Little Ta, eat more." Wen Yue put a few Dongguo-style steamed buns into Talulah's bowl. This was Wen Yue's specialty. After eating one, she could never forget the deliciousness.

Tallulah had no idea how her aunt made it, it was just as magical as the snacks Alina made.

When Wei Yanwu showed a serious face, Tallulah knew that he was going to talk about serious matters.

"Tallulah, before we get down to business, I'm going to advise you one last time, forget about him. You've been looking for him for so many years, and there are no clues other than a few evil cults. Listen to me, forget about him."

"Uncle, this is the last time I tell you. I will not give up. I will find it unless I die."

Wen Yue covered Tallulah's hand, her eyes full of tenderness. Tallulah was the same as Chen Huijie, both were aggressive and would not turn back even if faced with a wall. So what could be done?

They are the elders, so if they can't persuade her, then they can just support her. Besides, they once owed Tallulah something by allowing her to be kidnapped by Cosice. Now that she has finally returned, how can they preach to her?

Wei Yanwu sighed: "Okay, from now on I won't preach to you anymore, you can do whatever you want."

"Uncle asked me to come this time. Is there any news?"

"In Syracuse, my informants learned that there is such an organization, the Society of Light, which is very similar to the description in the information you provided me. Most of them are former infected people who recovered without using special medicine, but their recovery did not involve any duels. In other words, the cases of infected people recovering from oripathy after duels have ceased, right?"

"Is it the result of everyone blocking the news?"

"No, no matter how much we block the news, such things will always spread, and they all recover on their own."

"This is impossible."

"At first, I also thought that it was impossible for such a magical thing to happen. However, many infected people in the slums of Longmen have recovered, and some special symbols have appeared on their bodies. The Rat King told me that these recovered people began to believe in a god called the Lord of Light. It's ridiculous!"

"......Uncle, the Light Society you mentioned......"

"Go check it out, let Huijie handle the formalities for you, and just come back safely."

"Well, thank you uncle."

Wei Yanwu smoked his pipe and said nothing more.

"..."

Wen Yue touched Tallulah and said, "Okay, okay, let's eat quickly. After you finish eating, go find Hui Jie. Remember to bring her the lunch box on the table over there. You know this girl. She won't even eat when she's working."

"Okay, aunt."

Chapter 149 Light Knight

In Syracuse, mafia families are a chronic disease of the country. These local bosses are powerful, with complex and intertwined networks of relationships. They bribe local officials and it is common for them to split the profits between the black and white parties.

They also have things to worry about, such as the emergence of a new organization, especially a new organization that can attract a large number of infected people. The destructiveness of this organization is very serious to their business.

Many family heads have learned about the rise of an organization called the Society of Light, which has a great reputation in slums, factories, and undocumented areas. Some even don't know where they are located. Originally, they thought that the Society of Light was just an organization of infected people, a violent organization that gathered together for their own living conditions. As long as they cooperate with the police in the encirclement and suppression, they can quickly strangle this organization and their own business will not be affected at all.

After a long period of pursuit and interception, the police found that the size of the Society of Light not only did not shrink, but was getting bigger and bigger. There were even believers of God among their own people, and they didn't know when they joined the Society of Light.

For a time, the police and the mafia were looking for potential members of the Light Society in their own families, but to no avail.

Later, the Society of Light began to openly kidnap gang members, take goods and distribute them to slums and unhoused areas. More and more people began to believe in the Lord of Light like the members of the Society of Light. The poor people in the unhoused areas were surprised to find that at night, there would be several knights wearing platinum armor, holding shields, swords, spears and guns, and emitting white light all over their bodies walking in the area.

They stopped in front of the infected person's house and stood there for a while. The next day, the condition of the person who was seriously infected with mineralogy was miraculously curbed, and on the third day, their family became ordinary people.

More and more such incidents occurred in slums, unincorporated areas, mines and factories. At this time, several people in white robes appeared in these areas. They preached the Lord of Light to people and claimed that the disappearance of the ore disease was entirely the gift of the Lord of Light.

People didn't believe it at first. After all, they had also heard of cult organizations with the word "light" in their names, and many of them had been wiped out. They forced people to duel and die, and only the winner would be healed. But these people didn't seem to have heard of such a thing in Syracuse, at least they hadn't been dragged to fight.

And when the believers waved their hands to summon the messengers of God, the platinum-armored knights that everyone had seen really appeared in the sky. They had wings on their backs and descended from the sky. They were so tall, almost as tall as two adults.

A knight walked down the stage and reached out to touch a girl suffering from oripathy. Her mother was terrified, as she had no chance of defeating such a giant.

But when his fingers touched the girl, the Originium crystals on her body turned into black powder and drifted into the air. The wounds left behind after the Originium crystals disappeared also healed rapidly under the white light.

This is a miracle!

People suddenly went crazy, what the believers said was true!

The Lord of Light is real too!

Many people immediately became believers of the Society of Light, and some even knelt on the ground to express their gratitude. You have to know that before, they were severely infected patients who were judged to be dead by everyone, but now these white knights, who were called messengers of the Lord of Light, could cure them just by standing there.

No matter what, he didn't believe that this could be explained by science.

Perhaps, the Lord of Light really exists.

Of course, such a large gathering was also known to the gangsters. They were worried that they could not find anyone from the Society of Light, so each family dispatched elite personnel and brought a large number of weapons to encircle and suppress them. Their equipment was even better than that of the Syracuse army, and their skills were definitely not comparable to those of ordinary soldiers.

The mafia occupied almost all the retreat routes, deployed snipers and firing points, and after gaining a foothold, they moved towards the location of the believers.

Those who were infected by God's grace informed the believers of the Society of Light, but they still stood on the highest podium, unhurried, as if the mafia posed no threat at all.

"Brothers and sisters! You are afraid of those gangsters here, paying them protection fees, selling your blood and sweat to them! What do you get in return? Death! But now, I can tell you with confidence that the Lord of Light can not only cure your diseases, but also protect you from the harm of these maggots!"

The white-armored knights standing in the crowd slowly pushed the crowd away and made way for them.

Then the white wings flapped violently, and the knights flew into the sky and landed steadily on the streets where several gangsters were rushing towards them.

The gang members were frightened by the sudden arrival of these white-armored giants. The oppressive feeling emanating from them made them unable to even raise their weapons, as if they were hitting their own souls directly.

The knights slammed their shields with their swords, taking a defensive stance: "Leave!"

This sound seemed to ring in their minds. This strange phenomenon shocked most people. They had never heard of the existence of such Originium skills.

"How to do?"

"do not know."

"Retreat, we will die."

"Bullshit, I have a gun! If you go back now, you will be skinned alive by the boss!"

"Where are the cops?! Why aren't they here?"

"Who cares? Screw him!"

The gangsters were now armed with automatic rifles purchased from Agrippina Industries, and a stream of metal rushed towards the white-armored knight, but before they got close, it burned invisibly and fell to the ground, being burned into a pile of powder by the white flames.

"Get out!" The knights banged their shields again.

But considering their own lives and status, the third and second in command of these gangs would not retreat. They threw grenades at the White Knights. Like bullets, the grenades spontaneously combusted in mid-air and then exploded, and the shrapnel killed and injured many of the gang's own members.

The knight in white armor felt threatened, his wings were covered by golden light, and he fluttered his wings, flying out like a cannonball. Before they could dodge, a large number of gangsters were blown away, and the whole street was covered in white flames. The strange thing was that these flames could not burn the houses, and the mafia who were contaminated by the flames were burned to ashes amid screams.

"damn it."

The second-in-command of a mafia family survived the flames by relying on the Originium Technique. He wanted to run, but the knight was already standing behind him and cut off his Originium Technique shield and his head with one sword.

The Mafia family alliance was completely wiped out in just a few minutes.

When the knights returned to the crowd, they were just as spotless and holy as when they left.

The former infected people burst into cheers; the true savior had arrived.

Lord of Light, thank you.

After experiencing this, even atheists have to believe that supernatural powers really exist. Those seemingly abnormal white flames, whose temperature can burn a person to ashes in an instant but cannot burn down houses, how can they believe that this can be explained by science?

After all these events, the prestige of the Society of Light in Syracuse reached its peak. The Syracuse government paid close attention to the matter and dispatched a large number of intelligence personnel and the army to take charge of the matter. However, the result was that nothing was caught and a large number of people were lost.

Some special forces reported that they had spotted members of the Society of Light, then requested support, and then there was no news of them.

The incident became more and more serious, and even leaked out and was known by people in other countries.

When the Syracuse government saw that it could no longer conceal the truth, it simply admitted the existence of the incident and declared that the Society of Light was a cult organization that relied on evil magic to turn the poor infected and ordinary people into slaves. The Syracuse government requested international assistance from Terra, but the reactions of other countries were intriguing.

Many countries expressed their condolences and hatred for the cult, but nothing substantive was said otherwise.

Are you kidding? Syracuse is in trouble?

That's great.

Drugs from your country are imported into our country every day, and the mafia even dares to come to our territory to kill people, and you are still willing to protect these gang members. Now you are in trouble.

good! OK!

A little bigger!

We will destroy your drug industry and kill all the mafia, and then we will assist you in reorganizing your government.

As a result, Syracuse was left alone. When the mafia saw that the government could not get any aid, they had no choice but to look for people they knew in other countries. They spent almost all of their accumulated favors before they got a large amount of aid.

When the Syracuse government saw this, they thought, you gangsters can get help, but I did nothing. Where can I put my face?

So the Syracuse government announced a 30% tariff increase, increased border patrols, improved military treatment, and a major expansion of the military.

This move directly led to the invisible cooperation between the Mafia and the Syracuse government. Several of the largest families immediately expressed their opposition to the Syracuse government and asked all the people their families had placed in the government to resign and return home.

As a result, the Syracuse government lost 60% of its personnel and government functions came to a standstill.

The police station in the city was even attacked by gangsters, triggering the largest police-gangster fight since the founding of Syracuse. People who didn't know thought that Syracuse was about to start a civil war.

Ordinary people were suffering in this turmoil, but they suddenly discovered that the members of the Society of Light were safe. Their clothes were no longer tattered, their faces were rosy, and there was no sign of suffering. You know, before, they were all humble infected people!

So in this chaotic situation, the Society of Light, which both the Mafia and the Syracuse government wanted to wipe out, grew stronger again. More and more small businessmen, workers and farmers believed in the Lord of Light. The workers found that their bodies, which had been crushed by years of work, miraculously recovered.

Farmers also found that their crops matured in just a few days, even though it was not yet harvest time!

But when the believers of the Society of Light helped them harvest the crops, the believers said, "Apply the fertilizer and continue planting. The Lord of Light will bless us and we will harvest another round of crops within a few days."

Needless to say, the final result was that the farmers had never felt such joy before, and the warehouses were full of grain.

The believers of the Society of Light told the farmers that they no longer had to pay grain taxes to the government, no longer had to sell at low prices like merchants, and no longer had to be exploited by the mafia. They could decide for themselves how to manage their grain. Of course, if they were short of money, they could decide whether to sell the grain. After all, the Society of Light did not have much money.

If the farmers do not want to be exploited, the members of the Society of Light will help them move to their secret areas and provide them with safe housing.

As for whether the farmers want to leave the land where their ancestors have lived for generations, it depends on them. In the name of the Lord of Light, his believers will not force people to do anything, and everything must be voluntary.

By the time the mafia and the Syracuse government reacted, the people's hearts were no longer with them, the factories were no longer roaring, and no one was cultivating the land allocated by the government anymore.

The country seemed to have come to a standstill.

Tallulah was reading the newspaper and was very surprised. She originally thought that the Society of Light was just a cult organization and she didn't expect it to develop to this extent.

"Achen, what do you want?"

There was a sound of heavy armor colliding. It was the Astartes of the former Imperial Fists Legion. Now they had a unified name: Terra Guard.

However, the Imperial Fists originally had this title, but the world they are defending is different now. The Emperor's direct orders make them willing to shoulder the responsibility of defending this world, even if there is only one true pure human left, the Emperor's orders are orders.

The ancient ancestor Doji Zhaxi from the Imperial Fists was the chapter leader. They only brought fifty-two dreadnoughts with them, and all the dreadnought mechas were in a deep sleep to avoid suffering too much pain at all times.

When the Chapter Master is asleep, all matters are governed by the priests and Tallulah who were born in the Dark Ages. This is the order of the Chapter Master, and the monks of the Imperial Fists will not disobey the Emperor and their ancestors.

"Dear Miss Tallulah, the Slyman brothers have found traces of the Society of Light."
