Chapter 79 The Fruit of Greed (12)

Where is she now?

Dorota felt a splitting headache. The residual pain from forcibly exiting the illusion stimulated her tired nerves, and she couldn't help but reveal a bit of fatigue. She forced herself to be alert, and only then did she realize that the surroundings were too quiet.

She felt as if she was lying flat, with a soft blanket under her body. The tranquil incense spread in the room, as if it could soothe the uneasiness and make people feel peaceful.

Dorota's eyes turned slightly. The incense was not completely clean, and it was mixed with hypnotic ingredients.

It was hypnosis, not tranquilization. It should be a gentler method to stabilize the illusion and facilitate better control.

Why is Keshu not here?

Dorota stood up and walked down. This area should be the altar of the church, and there was a pulpit in front. The cross screen separated the altar from the nave. The altar in the center was where she had just been, and there were gorgeous candlesticks on the side.

Natural light filled her vision. Dorota tried to call the observer again, but there was still no response. Her eyes sank slightly. If he was in a dream, it would be fine, but she was afraid that he was not.

Dorota walked to the end and opened the door. The wide corridor was also empty. The church was particularly quiet today.

During the ceremony, the church was temporarily closed to the public and only allowed those upper-class people who were invited.

The believers who used to walk around disappeared, and only the nun was walking slowly towards her.

"I thought it would take some time for you to wake up."

When her voice sounded softly, Dorota could feel the gazes coming towards her, and Shu smiled gently, "You forced to break away, it seems you remember it?" "

Why don't you try to accept it?"

Shu sighed, if there was no blindfold covering her, her eyes would definitely be false sadness, full of cold mockery, "Why do you have to cling to your insignificant past."

"Being too stubborn will only hurt you." She seemed to be regretful, "and our merciful Lord will not choose to forgive."

Dorota sneered, she stepped closer, and as soon as she took a step, the floor under her feet turned into a dark swamp, trying to restrain her movements and warn her not to get closer.

She raised her eyes and reminded him lazily: "That's your god, not me. I don't believe in messy things."

"So why do I care so much about whether I can be forgiven?" Dorota looked at him with disdain, "You got the wrong method. Moral kidnapping should be done to those believers."

The nun's uniform on Shu's body always gave people the impression of being solemn and forgiving. The curve of her lips was just right. She just took a step forward and was shrouded in the overly bright morning light. Dorota saw her action and her heartbeat went out of control for a moment for no reason.

A bad premonition surged up and swallowed her completely the moment she saw the man's face clearly. She was speechless as if she was blank.

Dorota hadn't had time to think about how to face the reunion after losing and regaining. Even though she knew that the person in front of her was not the one she really missed, she hadn't seen him for too long.

He was her old friend, the companion who founded the source with her, and the past she couldn't let go of.

The man's dark gray eyes stared at her, still with a familiar look, and Dorota subconsciously stepped back.

"Don't you want to see her?" Her voice is the same as that of Juejiyue, but the tone is different. The sense of separation makes her look more like a demon walking in human skin. "I can feel your longing."

"Although I don't know why she didn't appear in your illusion, your emotional fluctuations fill in the gaps."

"I can see it and feel it at the same time."

Dorota's heart sank, but she didn't seem to know that she was on night watch. It was probably because the illusion suddenly collapsed that she was affected and couldn't know the content of the second half. She

forced herself to calm down, and when she looked again, Shu had turned back to her original nun appearance. Dorota reacted and realized that it was an illusion.

Dorota suddenly changed the subject: "As an assistant officer, you are secretly colluding with the executive officer. Aren't you afraid that Cecil will find out?"

The people of Zhuwang District have been immersed in the deception of the church for many years. It should be not only the ability of Baskent, but also the illusion of Shu that makes the fictional god real.

There is no need to prove whether He exists.

And He does exist in everyone's body. With the posture of desire, He controls everything in Zhuwang District.

"Do you think the chief doesn't know? Of course he knows, but so what." Shu's tone was mocking, "How much benefit has the church won for those big families? What if he disagrees? This is the imperial capital. Just one consent is enough."

After all, the church did not infringe on the interests of the Procuratorate in the slightest, nor did it cause any casualties.

The Procuratorate has no right to ask.

"If he wants to dismiss me, of course he can. I don't want the position of assistant officer anyway. But then he won't be able to learn more about the church."

She was arrogant and looked down on the so-called chief. She didn't care about the pressure from above. The power behind her could allow her to escape from danger at any time.

So she didn't need to worry about it.

"You may need to sleep for a while. It's a pity that there is still some time before the ceremony begins." Shu added the second half of the sentence slowly, "I actually hope you can stay in the church."

"We need more believers, and you can meet Munashe's family. Although it's just an illusion, it's better than reality, isn't it? It's a pity that you must mess it all up."

As the voice fell, the gorgeous corridor began to change, like a surging vortex that turned upside down the vision and made people dizzy. When Dorota avoided it, it returned to its original state, extremely distorted, and Shu took advantage of the situation and approached suddenly.

The shadow began to extend from the nun's feet, climbed up her clothes at an extremely fast speed, and trapped her in the blink of an eye.

When the shadow retreated, the assistant officer was no longer in sight. Dorota was not surprised. When she heard a slight movement, she felt a soft touch on her neck.

Her palms felt the lively vibration of her pulse. Shu was standing behind her. When he lowered his head, the scattered hair on the sides of his face entangled with hers. In the next second, he would close his five fingers and cut off her breathing.

Or his nails would grow wildly and turn into sharp blades to cut her throat. In any case, it was to kill her.

"There is one thing I can't understand." Dorota said this suddenly, "How can you be willing to be in a lower position? No matter what, the assistant officer is not the biggest beneficiary. Why don't you kill Baskent and take the position yourself?"

"You were even driven by him to get rid of me. Isn't it good to hold the power in your own hands?"

Shu just raised his hand lazily, and his cold fingertips scratched the delicate skin, "Don't provoke here."

"It's not the place for outsiders to discuss the affairs of Zhuwang District."

Shu sneered, and was about to break her pride with a sudden force. Dorota turned around first, her pupils turned slightly, reflecting another figure behind the nun, and she showed a weird smile, "Do you think I will just wait like this?"

The heavy object fell to the ground, but there was no splash of scarlet liquid, which made Shu a little unhappy.

She looked at Dorota, not wanting to guess whether it was her real self or an illusion. She simply controlled her. She didn't like playing boring games that wasted time with others.

Shu stretched out his hand neatly, and as expected, it was still a false shadow, and Dorota stood at the starting point again, "Don't worry, we still have a lot of time."

"I can't ask about the things inside the church, so what about the Inspection Office? I heard that your relationship with the chief has never been good. Is it just because of personality incompatibility, or do you want to replace him?"

"Maybe you should worry about it. After all, if something happens in the church, it won't be the responsibility of the Inspection Office."

"Do you think Cecil will help hide it?"

Shu's fingertips twirled her long hair, and she changed the shadow into a spike, which was as expected. It was false again. She smiled disapprovingly, "The premise is that this kind of thing will really happen."

Dorota didn't replace it with a new shadow. Before Shu made any move, she finally sensed the familiar breath.

It was just in time.

Then there is no need to delay any further.

"But don't you know?" Dorota suddenly approached and stood in front of her. Even though they were only inches away, neither of them moved. The stalemate was finally broken by her words, "When I just woke up, couldn't you sense that my mind was blank?"

She was not stupid enough not to seek help when she had one. Besides, she was the one responsible. How could Cecil, who had some complaints about the church, refuse such a good thing? Of course, she had to inform him as soon as possible.

"Don't you want to take a look?"

Dorota grabbed her hand and tied their backs together so that no one could escape. Magic can create and change illusions, but the premise is that things need to be defined as false existences, but she can't do this to herself.

Otherwise, they will disappear together.

"The chief is right behind you." Dorota smiled calmly, "You're not afraid, are you?"

Blood soaked the solemn nun's uniform. Dorota thought of the things that the Federal Research Institute had covered up. She suddenly realized that if the weird was a completely contaminated awakened person, then was it an awakened person in a normal state or a dead awakened person?

"Are you going to leave this body to the church?"

Cecil asked casually when he saw that she didn't move for a long time, and then raised his hand to wipe out the body on the ground, along with the bloodstains. He would not allow any accidents to happen.

Dorota came out of her thoughts after hearing this. She looked at Cecil and asked directly: "Do you know those hidden things of the Federal Research Institute?"

"You are just starting to doubt it now? Executive Officer, it's too late for you to know."

"...You won't reveal my identity, will you?"

"How dare I?"

Cecil took over her words without any hesitation and added: "We are now on the same boat."

"Same as you thought." He guessed the reason why Dorota suddenly asked this, and explained casually, "The monsters are the result of the awakened people being contaminated and parasitized after their death."

"But to be precise, they are high-level awakened people and plunderers, because their bodies are more suitable for being contaminated and transformed."

The sudden palpitation made Dorota unable to say anything. She thought of her deceased family and Jue Jiuyue.

"But if it's an executive officer who knows the inside story, they will usually remove the corpse to prevent it from being assimilated into a monster. If you are worried about this, then you can rest assured."

Cecil turned around and was about to leave. Her reaction was beyond his response range, but Dorota spoke.

"014."

"I remember you, the experimental subject in group l with the same experimental number as me."
