Duncan's expression was very sincere, with a kind of confidence and determination that said, "If I open a shop to sell fake goods, I must make sure that the cheaters die clearly. If you can find a real thing in the back warehouse, I won't want this shop anymore." Vanna was obviously shocked by his frankness. She was stunned for a long time before she reacted: "Your honesty... is really impressive."

"Do you have anything else to ask about the fire?" Duncan didn't pay attention to the strange tone of the other party, but asked calmly, "I heard later that the entire museum was blocked that day?"

"In fact, we highly suspect that there were supernatural factors involved in the museum fire," Vanna did not hide this fact, because speculation in this regard had already spread all over the streets and alleys, and the mystics of the city hall had already publicly called on citizens not to approach the museum square in the near future. For the citizens of Plande, the existence of supernatural events themselves did not need to be kept secret. What needed to be kept secret were only the details of the event and the truth behind it. "The fire extinguished very quickly, far beyond common sense... Mr. Duncan, please recall, did you really not see or hear anything unusual after entering the museum?"

"...No," Duncan frowned. "In fact, under the circumstances at that time, I didn't have the extra energy to pay attention to any changes in the fire scene. After all, I am just an ordinary person, not a trained guard."

He paused and raised his eyebrows. "The church suspects that the few of us who escaped from the fire may be related to the 'supernatural factors' behind the fire?"

"I am the one who has doubts," Vanna said seriously. "Please forgive me. It is my duty as an inquisitor to be vigilant against all uncontrolled supernatural risks in the city-state. I also don't suspect that you are the culprit of the fire. Supernatural powers can infect ordinary people, regardless of whether the person involved has subjective intentions. What I am worried about is that you were passively involved in the fire and were affected by some kind of supernatural power. I am also worried about your safety."

"I understand," Duncan said, more calmly than before. He was not angry at all, because the judge was really doing her duty. "You have been observing here for a long time. Have you found any clues?"

"...I really didn't find anything," Vanna shook her head. "There is no supernatural power left here. The distribution of shadows and the flow of breath inside and outside the building are also quite normal. I think...you are really just ordinary people who were involved in a supernatural incident."

Duncan thought about it and couldn't help but say, "How about...you check it carefully again? What if there is some supernatural power left here that hasn't been discovered? Like you said just now, it's also for our safety..."

"I have confidence in my judgment," Vanna said with a firm tone, straightening her chest with extra confidence before Duncan finished speaking, "I have been blessed by the goddess, and my eyes are the most effective means of detection, especially during the day. No heretical power or deep shadow can escape my sight - even the evil gods and demons who are best at hiding cannot escape my sight!"

As soon as Vanna finished speaking, she heard another loud crash not far away. Shirley finally broke the base of the wooden sculpture.

"I...want to try to put it in a safer place..."

"Just leave that pile of stuff alone! If you really can't help it, go and clean the windowsill!" Duncan said helplessly to Shirley who was trying to act like a shop assistant. Then he turned to look at Vanna and after a long pause, he uttered, "...You're right."

"This child seems to be clumsy," Vanna looked up at Shirley and said casually, "and looks... a little nervous?"

"It's her first day helping out today," Duncan told the truth. "She's not a formal employee, but a friend of my niece. She came here to learn something and to help support the family. Children from downtown tend to start working early."

Vanna nodded, thinking this was normal. She then thought about it for a moment and looked at Duncan again: "Also, I want to confirm - after leaving the museum, do you have any residual discomfort? Have you ever had a nightmare?"

Duncan didn't answer immediately.

Some people had nightmares. Not only did Shirley have a nightmare, but she also saw incredible things at the border of the nightmare with him - but this cannot be said.

Although the Inquisitor in front of them was a "positive character" who maintained the order of the city-state, Shirley was an out-and-out heretic in the eyes of the authorities and the church. In this world where everyone was nervous, even the most righteous and fair Inquisitor would find it difficult to have much tolerance and empathy for a "heretic" when they first met.

"No, everything is normal," Duncan shook his head. "But can I ask you something? What kind of nightmare would it be? If something similar happens to us in the next two days, I can confirm it immediately and seek help from the nearest church."

"It should be related to fire," Vanna replied. "It is extremely large in scale, gushing violently in the dark void, and bending during the eruption to form a magnificent arc. Considering that you just escaped from a fire, short-term traumatic shadows may have caused you to dream about similar scenes recently. Ordinary people cannot tell the difference between normal dreams and nightmares under the influence of the supernatural, so I suggest that if you dream about fire, immediately seek help from the nearest church."

Duncan frowned.

A spectacular arc of flame erupted violently in the dark void...

This didn't sound like Nina's dream, or Shirley's dream, or the scene of the burned ruins he had seen last night.

If he had to say something, Vanna's serious expression when she described the scene made him inexplicably think of something... fragments of the sun.

Only fragments of the sun could have the power described and make an Inquisitor look so solemn.

Duncan pondered for a moment, carefully adjusted his words within the framework of his "interested citizen" persona, and suddenly spoke: "Let me ask you a question... Is this matter... related to the recent sun cult in the city? Those cultists seem to be talking about the sun, fire, sacrifices, etc. all the time. It sounds like they are going to set fire to the city at any time."

There are Sun Cultists active in the city, and the authorities are searching for them. This is something that ordinary people also know. Vanna obviously didn't think much about it. She nodded and said, "It is possible that they are behind this... But you just need to understand it. Don't ask too much. It's very dangerous for ordinary people."

As a high-ranking judge, Vanna knew that a cult stronghold in an abandoned factory had been reported and destroyed not long ago, and she even went to the scene to investigate the matter in person, but she did not need to know more details in person, and naturally did not know that the "enthusiastic citizen" who reported the cult's den was the antique shop manager in front of her.

Duncan did not take the initiative to mention his original reporting behavior, because he had vaguely confirmed his guess from Vanna's answer and fell into deep thought.

Even the church's top leaders believed that this matter was related to the Sun Cultists. It seemed that it was indeed a fragment of the sun. When the fire broke out in the museum, the impact of the fragment of the sun did briefly appear in the real world, and aroused the vigilance of Vanna who went to deal with the scene later.

Then the "dream scene" that Vanna described... could it be the appearance of the sun fragments? !

A huge flame erupted violently in the dark void... This was completely different from what Duncan imagined when he first heard the name "Sun Fragment"!

In his initial imagination, something like the "sun fragments" that were sought after by the cultists and could seal the things sleeping in the city-state should be something like "abnormal", something tangible and substantial, with a specious connection to the sun, but actually not much to do with the real sun. However, according to Vanna's description...

Duncan tried to imagine it, recalling his impression of the star "Sun" as an earthling, and finally felt more and more that thing... How come it looks like a "solar prominence"? !

Regardless of anything else, just from the appearance, it is simply a solar prominence ejected into space!

There was no change in his expression, but his mind was already full of thoughts -

Sun fragments... this thing actually means something literal?!

At the same time, in Nina's bedroom on the second floor, Heidi had completed the routine inquiries and guidance of the "patient".

She has roughly confirmed that Nina's dream is not an ordinary nightmare or a continuous dream caused simply by mental stress, but whether the dream is affected by supernatural factors requires further judgment.

"We may need a brief and moderate hypnosis treatment," Heidi picked up the amethyst pendant in her hand and said to the girl in front of her in a gentle tone, "Don't be nervous, just follow my guidance and answer some questions."
