Chapter 57 Is God’s Power Infinite?
"Matthews, what's wrong with you?"
The leader seemed to notice something was wrong with Ulu and looked up at him.
That "truth" made Uru's body tremble violently. He looked at the two night crows looking at him, and even had the thought of "let everything be destroyed here" in his mind. But in the end, this thought stopped. He shook his head slightly and said in an extremely hoarse voice: "It's okay, I just caught a cold."
This completely broken tone did not make the leader too suspicious. He just nodded and said, "Then let's get it done as soon as possible and go back."
Then he closed the box.
The ugly black bug was sealed up like this, and was put into the loose cloak by the Night Crow Leader along with the box.
"The next one."
The Night Crow leader spoke briefly, and then led the way out of the room. Uru and another Night Crow immediately followed.
After seeing this, the priest nodded imperceptibly, stroked the boy's head again, and gave some instructions to the relatives, telling the boy to go to the church to find him at some time. Then he left with the three night crows.
As soon as he left the house, the priest put aside his previous kindness and solemnity. He glanced back and said calmly, "On the whole, it went smoothly. No one wanted the child, so it was a good result."
"Those chosen by the 'Sacred Worm' are all fruits that can be harvested." The leader, Night Crow, said, "The bishop has seen all of this... Matthews, are you really okay? I see that your body is shaking the whole time."
Ulu shook his head slowly to indicate that he was fine.
"It looks like you're not in good shape." The leader said, "Then let's set off to the next one quickly."
So they quickened their pace, and the priest couldn't help complaining: "Hurry, hurry ...
At this time, a thunder roared and light rain slowly fell from the sky.
Ulu raised his head, and the rain fell on the lenses of his mask, making his vision hazy and blurred.
"Visas, is this the truth you want me to see?"
He questioned Bai Wei again in his heart.
But Bai Wei still didn't respond, which made Wu Lu feel a little dazed, as if the dangerous existence had disappeared from his body, or even had never appeared at all. It was just an illusion, an illusion that lured him step by step to where he is now.
Although he really wanted to think so, unfortunately, Wu Lu knew that it was not true. Having been with Bai Wei for a while, Wu Lu had already gained a certain understanding of this dangerous existence.
In his opinion, Bai Wei did not respond, not because he did not want to respond.
But too lazy to respond.
It was as if he was mocking Ulu, “That’s not enough?”
He always speaks only when the dust settles, so his lack of answer now is the best answer.
In other words, the answer to “Is this the truth?” is – “More than that.”
Yes, that’s not all.
He asked me to keep watching...
Yes, keep watching.
Ulu reached out and wiped the rain off the lens, making his vision clear again. It was even clearer than before because it had been washed with water.
He followed the night crows in silence, and at the same time began to think about this matter, recalling the past that he originally did not want to recall.
Those bugs seemed to be released by the bishop, which meant that the bishop killed these people. These people included the one who was already dead, and the hotel owner, Kaiya, who was the next one.
But what was the Bishop's purpose in doing this? Why did he kill these people?
At first, Uru thought it was for the child. He could draw a similar conclusion from what the priest said just now. Boys that no one was willing to raise would be added to the Rhine, just like... him in the past.
But is this the truth? Or is this the whole truth?
If that was the case, then why did Kaia have to die? She had no son, only a niece from outside, and Rhine never wanted a girl.
And how many bugs were released? There were more than three Night Crow Knights in Som City. The area they were responsible for was actually very small. If we enlarged the area to the entire Som City, how many people would die from the bugs? Wouldn't it arouse suspicion if so many people died of inexplicable diseases at the same time?
Countless questions came to his mind, but Ulu tried hard to calm himself down.
Since Bai Wei wanted him to see it with his own eyes, then he would watch it first.
After that, Ulu no longer spoke, nor did he behave strangely. He just followed the Night Crow in silence, going from house to house, looking at corpse after corpse, and collecting insects after insects.
And the previous doubts were gradually resolved as I gained more knowledge.
Every dead person they encountered today had worms in their bodies, which means they died from these worms.
But their ways of death were different. Some died of illness, and the symptoms of death were very different. Some died in accidents, either they suddenly slipped and fell into the river and drowned, or they ran head-on into a galloping carriage and were trampled to death by the frightened horses.
This seems to be the ability of the worm.
It allows these people to die in various ways without arousing anyone's suspicion. After all, as long as the way of death is different, no one will pay too much attention.
In other words, as long as there is this kind of bug, Rhine can kill anyone he wants.
Ulu's heart sank to the bottom.
Was my mother also killed by this bug twenty years ago?
Watching the team leader put away the boxes of bugs one by one, Ulu had to resist the urge to rush over and smash them to pieces.
This operation, which the team leader called "harvest", lasted a whole day. When the sun was about to set, they walked out of the last house, and this family also answered Uru's previous doubts about Kaiya.
The family had no sons, not even a daughter.
The couple died at the same time, without any children, and therefore no one could inherit their property.
So Ulu looked at the priest waving the deed in his hand with some pride and said, "This is the biggest gain of today."
Uru said nothing.
After meeting so many families, most of the previous questions have been answered.
Only the last few are left.
Just the last few pieces are needed to tie it all together.
Uru felt anxious.
Why did Rhine do this? Why did Bishop Corey kill these people? Just for their sons, just for their property? Just for these?
These questions severely tortured Ulu's nerves, making him feel that his head, which had been thinking for a whole day, was about to explode.
Then, he finally heard Bai Wei's voice: "Where does the church's power come from?"
Bai Wei's sudden answer made Wu Lu stunned for a moment, but he still answered subconsciously: "God of the Rhine."
"So..." Bai Wei paused, then said with a smile, "Is the power of the God of the Rhine infinite?"
Uru's body froze.
