After that, Fiona returned the two sacrificial vessels to Lina and Luo Ling respectively. When Lina took the sacrificial vessels, she looked a little puzzled, "But, mother, since these two sacrificial vessels can enhance each other when they are a set... why didn't you give them to me directly before?"

"Because..." Fiona answered, then looked at Luo Ling and said with a smile, "We are waiting for a suitable holder. Let mother take over this small privilege."

"..."

For a moment, Luo Ling really wanted to throw away the hot sacrificial vessel, but finally she put it back into her hair.

At this moment, a whimpering voice was heard. The three looked in the direction of the sound and saw Elsa with her eyes closed, constantly wiping away tears.

At this time, Elsa was watching the memories that Luo Ling gave her. She probably saw the clips of the "Hunter" team sacrificing one by one. The always sentimental little Elsa always cries easily because of being moved and sad.

Seeing this scene, Luo Ling suddenly felt like she was watching others chasing the TV series she starred in... although these were all her personal experiences.

"Little Elsa is so cute." Fiona couldn't help but smile, "It reminds me of when Lina was a child, it seemed the same..."

"Mother!"

Lina stamped her feet anxiously.

"Okay, okay, I won't talk about your embarrassing childhood experiences." Fiona sighed softly, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

But soon, as if she had thought of something, Fiona's expression became a little more serious, and she said, "Fortunately, Elsa has never performed very well."

"Ok?"

Luo Ling immediately raised his head.

"As far as I know, the 'Company' has been monitoring Elsa, of course, in a gentler way, and the person who carried out the monitoring is... Cen Xiangyun."

Fiona pondered for a moment and continued, "After all, according to the files, she is not only a good friend of the White Witch, but also the only sane person alive in Jiangcheng County.

"Of course, the reason why Miss Cen took on this secret mission should be more for the purpose of protecting little Elsa."

This did not surprise Luo Ling. Even the fact that the monitor was Cen Xiangyun was within her expectations.

Whether it is to learn the secret of the "White Witch" through Elsa, or to lure the "White Witch" to appear by using Elsa's existence, both are suitable for execution under relatively relaxed circumstances. Even Elsa's apparent identity is a member of the "Company".

Therefore, all along, Elsa has only used one or two abilities that she is more proficient in, and the other sealed and strange abilities have not been displayed.

Even though she was under constant surveillance, Elsa still seemed quite inconspicuous. Coupled with her character of being unable to hide anything, the danger level of Elsa in the eyes of the "Company" was further weakened.

"Anyway, as long as nothing happens." Luo Ling nodded slightly. In fact, even if the "company" really wanted to take action, it would not be that easy to get rid of Elsa.

"By the way, Luo Ling, there is one more very important thing." Fiona hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I learned a secret, a secret that may be related to the life and death of the "company".

"It was because of the secret that I was attacked by the directors."

Because of the characteristics of the Kingdom of God, Fiona knew that she would not be attacked by the "Company" if she said anything here, but the problem was... Luo Ling would definitely leave later, and she was worried that when Luo Ling returned to Victoria, the directors would notice it.

"Let me tell you straight, Aunt Fiona. Don't worry about my comfort. I have some special tricks that can avoid the prying eyes of the "other side" path."

Luo Ling thought about the final fate of the old guy who had dared to spy on her last time, and suddenly wondered what the result would be if the directors tried their ignorance.

However, I'm afraid there is no such opportunity anymore. If the ordinary "other shore" path could work on Luo Ling, her identity as the "White Witch" would have been exposed countless times.

"...Um."

Fiona became cautious and said in a deep voice,

"The real goal of the directors of the "company" back then was to awaken the forbidden "Guixu" that had fallen into silence and seize its strange power "eternal life"... not a power that was bestowed upon it, but a power of its complete form."

After the words fell, Luo Ling's pupils shrank slightly. She had already learned the first half of the news from Miss Iris, but the second half...

"So, what the directors want... is actually true 'eternal life'?" Luo Ling murmured in a low voice.

No wonder the disaster of "eternal life" occurred in Victoria.

No wonder the directors tried so hard to cover it up.

No wonder...he was willing to kill Fiona to completely block this news.

All the clues were connected together, and the truth of the game back then seemed to have become clear.

"Can they really do it?" Luo Ling looked up and asked.

"...I don't know why the past failed. Was it a mistake made by the directors of the "company" or was there a traitor among the three of them? I'm afraid even they themselves can't be sure."

Fiona shook her head. Even though she was one of the three major constellations of the "Fate Society", she still could not be compared with the three directors of the "Company".

The reason is very simple. Although she also possesses the "Power" sacrificial vessel, like the "Time" held by Lin Jianming, it is not a complete version.

Only the three directors hold true "power" vessels in their hands, which possess unique and sole authority. There is also a qualitative difference between the two.

By using secret techniques to merge themselves with the sacrificial vessel, the directors are no different from powerful pioneer leaders, and their combat power is only comparable.

If...the directors could really master the power of "taboo", the balance of victory would be extremely one-sided.

This sensational news must not be known by the "Pioneers" or other forces on the Order side in any way.

It was impossible for anyone in Victoria to respond to the directors' decision, not even the directors of the various offices would agree with it.

The pioneers worry that the company's power will expand too much and form an overwhelming advantage, while the forces on the order side worry that the company's actions will cause trouble. Once mistakes are made in actions involving "taboos", no one can escape unscathed.

"This is very useful information, Aunt Fiona. I will make good use of it." Luo Ling exhaled, thoughts flashed through his mind, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

The pioneer's road to godhood, the company's taboos of seizure, they each have their own killer moves that can completely pin the other side to death on the chessboard. Once one side is able to fully implement it, the other side will face a catastrophic disaster.

No matter how many advantages you have gained before, they are nothing in the face of the absolute power that can overturn everything.

To this end, the directors never hesitate to make sacrifices.

"This is truly... a thrilling game of chess." Luo Ling couldn't help but sigh.

"Or maybe human nature has always been like this, that's all."

Fiona shrugged. She was not surprised by this. Even in the face of a powerful enemy, the turmoil of internal power struggle would not abate in the slightest. The saying "It is better to give war to foreign invaders than to domestic slaves" was nothing more than this.

The serious conversation ended there. Luo Ling roughly glanced at the time. It had been almost a week since she last left Victoria. It was time to go back and check on the situation.

The Eve doll is currently perceived to be safe, which means that Cen Xiangyun and Lu Manqing should not be in danger. If their lives were really in danger, the Eve doll would risk its life and die in front of them.

On the other hand, Eve in "Starry Victoria" has almost recovered from her injuries. The vitality that was previously consumed due to "hyperplasia" has gradually been compensated during this period of recuperation.

I can find a chance to replace it with the Eve doll later, and then throw the Eve doll's memory during this period into Eve's mind. With the Iron Fist maid lady's thick nerves, there is a high probability that she will not notice anything wrong.

Although Luo Ling's actions caused Eve a lot of trouble, after all, it saved her life from an attack by a ninth-level awakener, so a little trouble was reasonable.

Anyway, the problem is Luo Ling, not Eve. In Eve's perception, she didn't even get a good night's sleep, and her memory will continue from the point when she met Ms. Nightingale.

"Aunt Fiona, you should rest in the Kingdom of God for a while. Although the "destined death" has been lifted, there are still some hidden injuries." Luo Ling said, "Lina, you stay here to take care of your mother, as for Elsa——"

Luo Ling looked at Elsa who was still squatting in the corner wiping her tears. For some reason, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "When she wakes up after reading the memory, tell her that I have to leave for a while."

"Miss Luo Ling, are you leaving again?"

Lina's eyes lit up when she heard that.

"...I'll hide somewhere you can't find me." Luo Ling's eyelids trembled slightly. The last experience was not a pleasant one for her.

It was hard to deal with Lina before, and now there is Fiona...

As Lina's mother, Fiona is clearly better, in every way.

"I see."

Fiona said softly, looking at Luo Ling with a look that contained some inexplicable emotions, "But, Luo Ling, they are all your apostles, don't you plan to include me in the group?"

"..."

Luo Ling was silent for a while, then shook his head, "Forget it. No matter what... it's not good to be involved in something weird. Elsa and Lina were both forced to do so."

Although Luo Ling herself is called a weird existence by the world, she also knows what this existence means, so it is better not to drag others into it for no reason.

"It's a pity to put it that way." Fiona said, but her eyes didn't change at all, as if the answer to the question was not important, and Luo Ling's answer was what was important.

"I go first."

Luo Ling's scalp tingled. She had to get away from this mother and daughter as soon as possible. She felt that if she stayed here any longer, they would take advantage of her.

"Be careful," Fiona said softly, "I happen to be free at this time, and I also have the blessing of the characteristics of the kingdom of God, so I will help little Elsa to make the sacrificial vessel first."

Previously, Luo Ling had given Fiona a holy body and commissioned her to create a sacrificial vessel, but Fiona had been delayed because she had been investigating the affairs of the "company". Now she can finally spare some time.

"Ah."

Luo Ling nodded, then fled out of the room.

After a moment, Lina said with a click of her tongue, "Ms. Luo Ling has cut off her perception. Even I can't find her."

Although we are still in "Starry Victoria", it is extremely difficult to find someone in the entire Victoria, not to mention that Miss Luo Ling is hiding deliberately.

"hehe."

Fiona smiled noncommittally, turned slightly, and kept her eyes on her daughter.

She looked at her daughter tenderly, then opened her arms and hugged her gently until she could feel the real presence in her arms. The long-lasting longing finally turned into lasting love at this moment.

...comes from a mother’s love.

"But, Lina, being able to see you again... Mom is already very satisfied."

Lina just lowered her head, and snuggled in her mother's arms like she did when she was a child.

"...Um."

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

At the same time, in the present Victoria, in the Cathedral of the Church of Light.

The blind nun sitting in the wheelchair slowly opened her eyes. A hint of intelligence flashed in her completely white eyes before she closed them again.

There was a sound of splashing water nearby. Through the spore's vision, Luo Ling saw Stasha rolling up her sleeves and twisting the towel hard. Only then did Luo Ling realize that Alyssa had taken off a lot of her clothes, leaving only a few pieces of underwear.

The room was filled with steam and a light mist blurred the vision.

"So Stasha is wiping Alisa's body."

Alyssa's legs cannot move, so it is difficult for her to wash her body in this situation, so this task has always been done by Stasha.

During her time in the Church of Light, Alyssa only had the opportunity to cleanse her body once a month when she returned home.

"But, isn't it a bit inappropriate for me to come here at this time?"

Just as Luo Ling was thinking this, she suddenly felt a warm touch on her back, and Stasha asked cautiously, "Sister, is this... a little too hot?"

"The temperature is just right, Stasha." Luo Ling replied.

"Ok!"

After getting the answer, Stasha immediately started to work hard with a smile on her face. It was a rare moment when she could be so close to her sister, and she seemed to enjoy it.

It was really inconvenient for Luo Ling to continue making any noise and disturb the time the poor sisters were spending together, so she quickly regained consciousness and checked her memories of this period.

The religious figure has not appeared during this period of time. It seems that the promotion ceremony has been prepared and is waiting for the right time to begin. However, Luo Ling knows that this is not the promotion of the religious figure, but the ascension of the philosopher to godhood.

After receiving the instructions from the educator, Alyssa used the sacrificial vessels to spread the aura of the "White Witch" in the hatcheries that emerged throughout Victoria.

For a moment, it seemed as if all the hatcheries that emerged in Victoria were owned by the "White Witch", which directly caused the "company" to be overwhelmed and work overtime.

Even the "Star" team where Cen Xiangyun and others are now is no exception. Although the "Star" team is called a team, it is actually a large team with several sub-teams.

Unlike the "Hunting" team, which is a top-notch single-word team composed of awakeners above level eight, the "Star" team is divided into several levels. Cen Xiangyun and her friends joined the lowest level team, which is very suitable for their current strength.

"It seems like they are really exhausted, working overtime every day."

In the memory of Eve's doll, they had to deal with two to three hatchery incidents every day. Most of them were just fake, and they were exhausted from running around amidst the mix of good and bad people.

However, amidst this seemingly aimless busyness, Luo Ling discovered several things that were not right.

"The barrier of the "Company"... is broken?"

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------

I found a picture that fits the image of the White Witch in my mind! But it's not a commissioned picture, I don't have much spare money to commission it now... I will definitely commission a few more pictures when I have the chance!

There is only one day left for the bounty! No, but it seems like there are enough already...

Chapter 5: Bloody Church (k)

All along, Victoria has been shrouded in the barrier set up by the old man and is regarded as an extension of his ability, which monitors everything about Victoria at all times.

It is precisely because of the existence of this barrier that the "Pioneers" acted extremely cautiously, to the point that even Luo Ling's puppets scattered throughout every corner of Victoria could not find their traces, all in order to avoid the old man's eyes and ears.
