Three more days passed, and Pastor Vincent returned to the small church on the mountainside, a little tired. The nun who stayed behind handed him the note left by Roxelle.
After reading the above content, the pastor's face darkened slightly and he put on his coat again.
"Do you want to go out? It's dark outside now and the mountain road may be difficult to walk on." asked the nun beside her.
"Luna, have you forgotten my previous abilities? What's the difference between this and daytime for me?" Vincent said as he adjusted his coat.
"I haven't forgotten, but I'm afraid you've forgotten. It's been nearly twenty years since you celebrated your 100th birthday. The handsome priest who took care of me when I was growing up is now an old man." The nun brought a lantern and placed it in front of Vincent.
"Oh, okay, I'll take this." Vincent smiled and shook his head, as if he didn't want to admit the fact that he was old.
The old man in the white robe disappeared at the end of the mountain road with the small lantern. It was already pitch black all around, with the occasional chirping of insects coming from all around.

Luo Xier was awakened by a knock on the door.
Fortunately, the noise was not loud, and Boli next to her was still sleeping soundly.
She stood up, got out of bed, lit the lantern on the table, and opened the door. Sister Meilan was standing outside the door, looking a little anxious. When she saw Luo Xier open the door, her brows finally relaxed.
"I'm sorry to disturb your rest, Luo Xier. But I have something important to ask you now and I need your help."
"Just me?" The girl looked at Boli who was sleeping in the house.
"Yes." Sister Meilian nodded.
"Okay, I'll change my clothes first." Luo Xier closed the door again, changed into a black nun's uniform, and went outside.
"Follow me." Sister Meilin led Luo Xier into the corridor. It was already late at night and it was very quiet. They could clearly hear the rubbing of clothes and the sound of footsteps.
The two walked out of the resting room, crossed the moonlit courtyard, and came to a remote house. Standing outside the door were four fully armed church knights. They were all Sequence 5 and were rare elites in the Knights Templar.
After Meilan talked for a few words with a knight in front of the door, the knight nodded and made way to let Luo Xier and Meilan in.
The house was brightly lit, with torches on the walls. The two walked down a short corridor and came to a door with steel bars and rivets. Meilan knocked on the door, muttering a short spell. A light like ripples on the door flowed across it, and then the bolt made a sound and opened.
The small room was full of people. On the bed in the middle lay a middle-aged man, the man Luo Xier had reported to a few days ago.
At this moment, his limbs were fixed to the bed with iron shackles, and he seemed to be asleep. Four people in black robes stood around him. These four people had a mysterious aura, and even his extraordinary perception seemed to be obscured by the black robes, making it difficult to detect.
They were silent and didn't say a word, with various weapons hanging around their waists. They seemed to be elite fighters.
In addition to these four people, there were two others standing nearby. One was also dressed in a black robe, but seemed to be of a higher status. He was talking to an old man. This old man was none other than Roxelle's former teacher, Reverend Vincent, the retired Archbishop.
"According to the results of our investigation using the 'Pure Blood Holy Orb', this person has indeed been corrupted by the Chaos Phantom."
"However, the process was very gentle, just like a dragonfly landing on the water. It didn't stay there, and the trace left behind was extremely subtle. Only when the sacred object was brought within one meter of it did it react faintly."
"In that case, it proves that Luo Xier is right. We need to check the route this person took on the way to the Holy Land and all the people he came into contact with." Vincent said slowly.
"It can be done, but it will probably take quite a bit of time. The most worrying thing is that the Chaos Phantom will spread during this time." The low voice of the black-robed man came from under his hood.
"Teacher Vincent, you called me." Luo Xier walked forward, bowed slightly, and then looked up at the old man.
"Yes, I have to thank you for discovering it in advance this time."
"Although it may be a bit presumptuous, I still want to know how you discovered it. It's not easy, after all, the symptoms are too weak."
"Because I have seen the Chaos Phantom in Emenas before, I had an impression of it at that time. I met it by chance this time, so I naturally recognized it." Loran Hill answered. She was not lying and what she said could be found and confirmed in the school.
"We sent people to investigate the riot in Emenas two years ago, so we know the name of Miss Roxelle." The man in black robe raised his head, revealing his pupils above the black mask. The pupils reflected the firelight on the wall, making them look particularly bright and sharp.
"But this time, we want to know the specific process by which Miss Luo Xier discovered this person's abnormality. This is not suspicion, but curiosity about your early and keen perception."
"Yeah." Loran Hill sorted out his thoughts a little, recalled what happened, and narrated it slowly.
.....
As he was telling the story, the man in black robe suddenly interrupted.
"Wait a moment. Miss Luo Xier just said that she felt something strange when she passed by the hall, and she was sure of it when she got closer."
"So where exactly in the hall did you feel abnormal, and how far away were you from the bed at that time?" His questions became more and more specific.
"We were about 50 meters away when I felt something strange. Then when I got to about 3 meters, I was completely sure." Luo Xier answered thoughtfully. She had a good memory in this life and could recall many details.
