I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

Roland frowned and began to think.

Leaving aside the identities of Johnson and his group for the moment.

They seemed to have been studying the mysteries here for a long time.

Currently, they held two completely different viewpoints, divided into two factions.

These two factions were the 'Shadow Mind-Stealing Theory' and the 'Multiple Persons Theory'.

Roland thought to himself: 'Shadow... In the theory of wizards, people and gods are multifaceted. The shadow is another side of a person.

I understand it as a 'inner demon'.

If a person's shadow steals his heart, then it is the inner demon possessing him.

According to Brianne's words, she should believe that everyone's shadows have been separated from their bodies, and then they will all possess six people at random times.

This hypothesis does have some truth to it.

But it has a few problems.'

That problem is 'Saint Teresa'.

In some ways, the six of them fit the 'Shadow Possession Theory'.

Normally speaking, heroic spirits do not have 'shadows'. These spiritual bodies are very pure, single-faceted, benevolent beings.

But the insane and evil heroic spirits have 'shadows'!

They have two sides: 'insane evil' and 'supreme good'!

The main body is a collection of two sides, which forms the 'angel's heart, devil's means' Seven Heroic Spirit Servants.

When Roland met them at the time, their state was very much like the 'supreme good inner demon' occupying the dominant position in their thoughts—plus the shadows of other people, they treated Roland as a patient and followed the mysterious rules of treating illnesses.

But there is a problem here.

That is, after they sent Roland to the hospital, they did not leave in a normal way. They disappeared out of thin air!

It was as if six more people appeared in this world, and these six people forcibly inserted themselves into this world, and then replaced Teresa and the other five!

When they disappeared, Teresa and the others came back.

Judging from this phenomenon, Wilmick's mysterious anomaly is more in line with the 'Multiple Persons Theory'!

Similar to the 'Renard' Multiple Persons Theory!

But there is also a problem here.

That is, in this case, once the period of mysterious anomaly has passed and the shadow has disappeared, the main body should inexplicably appear in its original position.

For example, Teresa and the others, after Saint Teresa disappeared, their main bodies should have appeared in their own rooms. Then, like having amnesia, they wouldn't know what they had done.

The whole process is the same as 'Blood-Drained Leech Amnesia'.

But 'Miss Brianne' is not like this!

She didn't disappear!

They were locked in the confinement room, and then woke up!

So the 'Multiple Persons Theory' also has problems!

Inexplicably, Roland vaguely grasped a thread.

He thought to himself: 'Is there a possibility? Are both the Inner Demon Theory and the Multiple Persons Theory correct?

And how many people were there at the very beginning?

Could it be that there weren't six people at the beginning?

Why do these six have so many memories and thoughts of so many people?

In the beginning, could it be that these more than one million people were all separated... Ah, yes, they were indeed separated. The more than one million people in our entire city are, of course, all separate individuals.

But later, there were fewer and fewer people, and only six were left.

So, there are not more than one million people in the city now?

The number of people in the city is actually only...'

Suddenly, Roland had an epiphany. He covered his mouth fiercely and went crazy for a long time!

Roland believed that there were actually only six people in the city now.

And he had complete logic!

He didn't dare to think too deeply, not because he was afraid that he would disappear if he thought too much. His own anchor point was very strong and would not disappear.

He was afraid that if he got excited and said it out, the patients would understand, and then the patients would disappear!

There were too many people around, and they were all mentally ill with insane evil, with very low SAN.

If he accidentally cleared their SAN, causing them to suddenly have an epiphany and discover a fact at the same time... When many people simultaneously recognize a fact, things would be big.

Fortunately, Roland took his medicine on time today, and maintained a clear mind while going crazy, and covered his mouth fiercely.

Otherwise, on his first day in the Wilmick Saint Spirit Hospital, the sky would have been turned upside down!

Roland sorted out his thoughts and recorded what he had deduced so far.

At this time, everyone was seated.

The Archbishop himself came to the restaurant and led everyone in a pre-meal prayer.

While Roland pretended to pray, he thought to himself: 'Archbishop Williams is paying special attention here for a reason... He is building his connections.

Those who suffer from insane evil have generally come into contact with evil gods. Having this kind of merit.

And those who can survive after coming into contact with evil gods, even a first-order holy knight, have a limitless future!

This is not a hospital at all.

This is a gilding academy for priests!'

Roland couldn't help but think of Johnson—could this old guy's connections have been built up over the past ten years?

On second thought, this guy might really be a Black Abyss Wizard.

It is also possible that he is the first dean... The founder of the Black Abyss may be a group of people!

Or rather, Ygg and those teachers are the real founders!

However, only one star has ever appeared in the Black Abyss—Lord Shata.

If what Johnson said is correct, then who is the other star?

Also, if he crawled out of the Old Black Abyss, then shouldn't he have been in Alaca for the past ten years helping Senior Sister and the King of Thousand Eyes with their layout?

He didn't do such an important thing. What did he come to the mental hospital for from thousands of miles away?

It's impossible that he came for treatment, right?

Roland felt that these things could only be known when Senior Sister came.

Roland was praying on the surface, but in reality, he was thinking wildly in his heart.

After the prayer ended, the Archbishop and some vice presidents, etc., sat at the head table, and ate with the people at the lower tables.

While eating, Roland noticed that a group of red-robed nuns and a group of red-robed knights entered the restaurant accompanied by priests. They walked solemnly between the long tables, paying attention to every patient.

The Archbishop actually got up to greet these people in person.

This should be the 'inspectors sent by the Holy See' that the caregiver mentioned earlier.

Inspector, in the South, this is a remarkable position.

Especially the inspectors of the Inquisition, are even more remarkable.

Their power is very terrifying, the most well-known of which are three points.

First, they have discretionary power and almost no restrictions.

That is to say, without any evidence, they can casually point at someone and say that he is suspected. Then, he can be directly arrested. Then, he will be interrogated in the Heretical Inquisition.

And as long as they enter the Inquisition, the adjudication knights have ways to make people confess!

Second, the Inquisition is a department completely independent of the judicial system. Except for the Pope, they do not need to be responsible to anyone!

So even if this group of people brought a group of adjudication knights and broke into the College of Cardinals and arrested a cardinal—and then found out that they had arrested the wrong person, that person was actually innocent. They will not be punished for this!

Third, they can conduct 'dialectical transactions'.

For example, if a seriously suspected black wizard archbishop is arrested and taken in, but his mouth is very hard and the Inquisition cannot find evidence.

Now, the external pressure is very high, and the Inquisition does not dare to move the sentence randomly, so it can only desperately collect evidence everywhere—but time is limited, they may find evidence and put the archbishop in. It is also possible that they will not find evidence and can only release the person.

At this time, the inspector can conduct a 'dialectical transaction' with the archbishop—in short, it is legal coercion and inducement!

The inspector can tell the archbishop, although we cannot be sure that you are not a black wizard, but as long as we investigate further, although we may not be able to find out that you are a black wizard, we can 100% find out that you are a wizard.

If you confess now, confess that you secretly learned magic, but learned white magic. Then you will not be burned at the stake.

At this time, if the archbishop agrees to confess, the Inquisition can file a lawsuit for 'wizardry crime' instead of 'black wizardry crime'.

In this way, the Inquisition has completed its performance indicators.

And the archbishop, although he was convicted, the crime he committed was not that big.

Win-win.

From a certain point of view, the Inquisition successfully framed this archbishop—and legally!

Of course, conversely, the Inquisition can also be said to have cleared this archbishop's name—unless there is conclusive evidence in the future, no one can arrest him again for suspecting that he is a black wizard.

Roland has read many books. In the beginning, this judicial system was not so outrageous.

But now, the so-called sacred laws and pure justice in the South have all changed their flavor.

'Are these inspectors from the Inquisition of the Holy See?'

Roland paid attention to the eight inspectors.

He found that there were a total of a dozen knights accompanying them. They all looked a little familiar.

The leader of the inspectors was eight—all nuns, and even more familiar.

Suddenly, Roland realized that the eight inspectors were Diana and Teresa and the others!

And the group of knights were all colleagues who had just eaten with him yesterday.

As for the leader of the knights, he was even more familiar—it was Miss Jeanne, the 'Adjudication Knight Commander' of the Department of Mysteries.

When Roland saw the faces of these people clearly, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch fiercely.

Who else could the inspectors sent by the Holy See be except Isabella and her gang?

The latest novels are at 69shu.com!

The 'Isabella' group did come to build the Mystery Department, but they have another identity regarding the Vermick Monastery – trial presidents, prosecutors, and adjudicator knights dispatched from the Tribunal of the Holy See!

In a flash, Roland knew what they wanted to do at the monastery.

She wanted to judge a portion of the black wizards and cleanse another portion!

The Holy Spirit Hospital has no judicial power; even if they have evidence, they cannot judge. They can only treat them.

So, a very ironic situation arose—even if the monastery has conclusive evidence, even if they have already captured the black wizards, they cannot declare these black wizards as black wizards!

Because the Holy Spirit Hospital lacks judicial and trial authority!

It must go through the Tribunal once—at that time, if the Tribunal says they are, they are. If they say they aren't, they aren't!

And the monastery does not want to release people. Because once this opening is made, Isabella and her people can come and arrest people arbitrarily!

Many patients here are friends of the Archbishop, even his political allies. Naturally, he doesn't want Isabella to arrest his allies.

Arresting allies is actually a small matter.

He fears that among his good friends, someone has been replaced by a black wizard!

If that happens, the black wizard will frame him, saying he is also a black wizard. He would be unable to defend himself.

Therefore, although the Archbishop needs a group of professionals to help him handle matters here, they cannot arrest people so recklessly!

He must participate in arrests, interrogations, and other matters. Everything must be done under the premise of ensuring he can clear himself!

Otherwise, even if there are black wizards here, they are not black wizards!

And Senior Catherine came to take down the Archbishop.

Therefore, it is difficult for the two to reach a unified opinion.

Originally, the Archbishop would definitely compromise in the end. Because Isabella came with the order of the Holy See, and if she forcibly intervened, his room for maneuver would be very limited.

On the other hand, now the entire city, from top to bottom, has many opinions about the Archbishop. Even many discharged political dignitaries from the hospital are reporting him, saying he is arresting people arbitrarily.

Even the Holy See has sent people to inquire many times.

Therefore, Williams is now very anxious. He does have strong strength and has many people under his control.

The Holy Knights of Vermick are highly skilled in martial arts, have steadfast faith, and are good at frontal combat.

But arresting black wizards and handling mysterious and unusual events in this city is not as good as the 'professional special Holy Knights (Adjudicator Knights)' of the Tribunal.

Specialization in a certain field; it is too difficult to ask a group of people to do things in another industry.

Otherwise, the Holy See wouldn't have independently established a Tribunal and a Mystery Department.

Currently, the matter of black wizards has reached a bottleneck. Williams' subordinates have repeatedly suggested that a group of consultants be needed to assist.

Williams is also afraid that things will escalate, and then it won't be as simple as retiring early. Perhaps all the blame will be placed on him—you are obstructing the handling of the case so much; you must be the leader of the black wizards!

Originally, Williams was considering compromising with the Mystery Department.

But now, the Mystery Department suddenly compromised!

The Archbishop naturally smiled, his face full of wrinkles—he originally thought Isabella was planning to escalate the matter and arrest him, but it seems he was judging the gentleman's heart with a petty person's mind!

Roland guessed that Isabella originally intended to take this opportunity to bring down the Archbishop.

After all, she is not the real Isabella, but Senior Catherine!

This matter is easy to operate because the Archbishop has almost delivered his head to her—the monastery has always had problems, and Williams, as the top leader here, will definitely have a hard time escaping responsibility.

So, as long as Isabella waits for a suitable opportunity, or waits for a big mess to break out in the Holy Spirit Hospital, and then forcibly intervenes, she can lead people directly into the Archbishop's office and arrest him.

Although the Archbishop is very powerful and influential, once the order of the Holy See comes down, his power will be gone.

She represents the Holy See and comes with the 'Tiger Tally'.

The Vermick City affair is so big that the Archbishop is already to blame.

As long as he is arrested by the Mystery Department and subjected to that one-stop interrogation, even if he has no problems, he will have problems!

Isabella even prepared the V-shaped frame specifically for imprisoning demigods!

At that time, even if the Archbishop has connections to the sky and even if there are more people above protecting him, his best-case scenario is to retire early and return home to retire.

At that time, the Mystery Department will be able to step on the Archbishop to rise to power, and the Vermick Tribunal will definitely be established.

Without the Archbishop, the Vermick Holy Church will be under Isabella's control, and the entire quasi-holy city will be in her pocket.

But now Isabella has to cooperate with the Archbishop, and all the plans have fallen through.

Now, the prosecutors and knights have to be used as pawns by the Archbishop. The Archbishop can not only use this opportunity to cleanse himself but also use them to eliminate his political enemies.

Isabella is probably going crazy now—what is that guy Roland doing!

After fucking me, you go crazy, right?

You ran to the hospital alone in the middle of the night, right?

And you even made me send someone to save you!

Thinking of how annoyed Senior Catherine is now, cold sweat streamed down Roland's face.

Roland's gaze caught Jeanne's attention. Her eyes swept towards Roland and quickly found him.

After seeing Roland, Jeanne actually showed anger on her face and gave Roland a warning look.

That look seemed to say, 'You really are here!'

Roland didn't know if Jeanne was being occupied by Senior Catherine. Feeling guilty, he pretended not to see Jeanne's gaze and lowered his head to eat.

The people from the Mystery Department walked around and left. Before leaving, Deanna looked at 'Old Johnson' one more time.

Roland noticed Deanna's gaze and couldn't help but look again at the charming nun (patient) beside Old Johnson.

Roland thought to himself, 'Deanna seems particularly curious about that side. Does she feel any unusual aura?'

Roland knows Deanna's specialness, and Senior Catherine naturally knows it too—after all, this peeping Tom has peeped at Roland a lot.

In addition, Roland and Senior Catherine also talked about many things in the dream. So, Senior Catherine generally knows Deanna's situation.

Senior Catherine has two reasons for letting Deanna come.

The first reason is that she has a very special identity.

The second reason is that she, like Roland, is not a normal person.

Two people, one can freely roam in the underworld, and one comes from the underworld.

It's just that one can swim freely after entering the ocean of the underworld, and the other... will sink crazily.

Although Deanna easily drowns, she dives deeper than Roland. So, Deanna is very sensitive to things in the underworld.

Roland had previously felt that there was something wrong with the people on Johnson's side.

At this time, seeing Deanna also looking over there several times, he became more certain of his thoughts.

Soon, Roland finished eating, and a priest in a doctor's uniform came over with several orderlies.

Roland knew that Senior Catherine should be looking for him, and these people would find a reason to take him over.

Sure enough, the priest said he would take Roland for a specialist consultation.

This 'priest' also introduced himself with a smile as Roland's chief physician, named 'Collier'. His position is 'Holy Church. Executive Bishop'.

He used to be a trial president of the Tribunal, with strength similar to 'Lawrence'. But he is a dual cultivator of God and body. Both a great priest and a Holy Knight.

After hearing the position of 'Executive Bishop', Roland looked at him a few more times and remembered this person.
