Chapter 610: Harvest
In North Tivian, in a cafe on the edge of the church district, Dorothy sat in a quiet single room, listening to Nephnis's explanation while hand-drawing in her notebook. After a while, a sketch of a two-headed demon wolf with a ferocious look and two heads appeared in the notebook.
"There is another theory... There is a strange disease spreading in Tivian now. People infected with this disease will turn into terrible beasts. The official has not yet announced the existence of this disease. The former Chant Church is a place where patients with this disease are secretly accommodated and studied. The terrifying roar that day was caused by a failure of containment...
"At present, this kind of rumor is the latest to appear. Compared with the previous ones, fewer people know about it. The most widely circulated among these rumors is the first one I mentioned, the one about the seal. After all, most people believe in the Church of Radiance, and this kind of story of a saint sealing evil is a classic. However, the last rumor is also spreading very quickly, especially among some rebellious young people. Many people in my school are talking about this rumor now. My roommate has even started to speculate on what secret experiments the church is doing."
Sitting in her seat, Nephnis shared with Dorothy what she had seen and heard in the past few days, and the rumors and information she had collected from various places in Tivian. After listening to these various rumors, Dorothy took a quick look at the sketch she had drawn in front of her and couldn't help but sigh a little.
"What a variety of theories! I didn't expect so many theories to pop up in just a few days. It's true that the public's imagination is limitless..."
Dorothy said this, while Neveu on the other side drank a cup of coffee, put the cup on the table and spoke softly.
"Yeah... these rumors are getting more and more exaggerated, saying things like ancient monsters and secret diseases have come. In reality, it's not that exaggerated. It's just a red wolf attacking. It caused a little commotion and then it disappeared in a flash. What a fuss."
Neveu spoke nonchalantly. Hearing her words, Dorothy couldn't help but twitch her lips slightly. She thought that there were probably only about four officials in the entire Pritt Kingdom who were familiar with this thing, and the werewolf just now almost killed one of them, but it was just a small ripple when it came to you.
"Senior Neveu... seems to think that the Red Stage Beyonders are nothing?" Dorothy said to Nevenis with a smile. After hearing what Dorothy said, Neveu quickly shook her head.
"No, no, no, that's not the case. It's not like we haven't encountered Chi Cheng before. He's very capable and I know he's not on the same level as Bai Ke. But I think... since we want to strive on the extraordinary path, we can't regard Chi Cheng as someone who is high above and out of reach. Otherwise, we will lose the motivation to work hard and won't even be active in reading.
"Well... just like when I was in middle school preparing for the entrance exam to Guanda University, the teacher always told us not to think of getting into Guanda University as too easy, but also not too difficult, otherwise it would only add unnecessary pressure to ourselves." Nephnesse said this after thinking for a while. Dorothy couldn't help but be slightly startled when she heard her words, and then continued to speak.
"So... you think that becoming a Chicheng student is equivalent to taking the college entrance exam?"
“That’s not entirely true. Being promoted to Chicheng is definitely harder than getting into university. Although the two are very different, they are both goals that require hard work for me, so I’m just sharing my experience.
"Miss Dorothy, a talented girl like you who was able to be admitted to Guanda University at such a young age and become a student at a young age is a role model for me. Although I am not as talented as Miss Dorothy, I believe that as long as I am willing to spend more time, I can also achieve Miss Dorothy's current achievements."
Waving his hand, Nephnis spoke calmly. Dorothy was speechless for a moment after listening to his words. She didn't know what to say. After a long pause, she only said one word.
"Mental state... is also a kind of thing."
"Of course, I need to be in a good mood before I can do other things... Well, I think I've finished drinking. Miss Dorothy, please wait a moment. I'll order something new."
Nephnesse said this, then she stood up from her seat, opened the door and left the private room. After watching Nephnesse leave temporarily, Dorothy focused her eyes on the street outside the window. At the end of the street, she saw the gate of the church area that was still heavily guarded, and she couldn't help but start thinking.
'It has been a while since Duval's death, and Vanya is still the acting Grand Archbishop. Apart from the troubles she has been given by the investigation team of the Tribunal, nothing else has happened. Saint Linshan should have acknowledged Vanya's performance, and the matter is settled for the time being.
"Well, it seems that Mr. Vaughan's confession has worked."
Dorothy thought so in her heart. After the surprise attack by the Wolfblood Society, she had been dealing with a series of follow-up matters for some time. The most important task was to try her best to erase all traces of her involvement in this incident.
The two most important points of these follow-up work were: first, through a drama, to let the director of the Security Bureau, Chi Cheng, testify to cover up the use of Vanya's Sunshine Gun, and second, to carefully arrange a prisoner of war for the church to torture.
On the day of the attack, in the underground forbidden library in the cathedral district, Dorothy used the Night Devil in her body to lure the demon wolf Duval outside at the last minute to encounter Harold, while his two men, Brand and Vaughn, took this opportunity to flee from the underground forbidden library. In order to avoid being affected by the Chi Cheng Zhan, they fled the cathedral district without a second thought.
Naturally, the actions of Brand and Vaughan could not escape Vanya's full insight into the Chant Church. Through the information channel, Dorothy could also observe the church area and the surrounding vast area in a 360-degree all-round manner through Vanya's vision. She didn't even need to send out the zombies to see the exact whereabouts of Brand and Vaughan.
Of the two werewolves, Vaughn's personality had already been profiled by Dorothy. She only needed a small command, such as a glance at a crow corpse, to activate the command Dorothy had pre-set in Vaughn's personality, causing him to give up all resistance and become Dorothy's living puppet, causing him to turn against her in an instant, launching a sneak attack on his companion Brand when he was off guard, and killing him. After the bloody battle in front of the Sutra Tower, Brand was spiritually exhausted, and with Dorothy's assistance, it was easy for Vaughn to sneak attack and kill him.
