"Morgue?" Luo Yin asked in surprise, "Why is there such a gloomy place built under the church?"

"Your Excellency, Madam, distinguished guest." Duerke was about to explain, when Colonel Alpha, wearing a large military uniform and a helmet under his arm, stepped forward and spoke, "The deacon master just said it right, here in the small town of Laubken, it is indeed A morgue has been built, but the authority is our military, not the diocese.”

"The reason why it was built next to the church is because after soliciting opinions from the municipal government and voters in the early stage, everyone felt that this was a more reassuring plan. Well, it does store the remains of some citizens. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a morgue. But the remains do not account for the majority. There are more coffins inside now, containing the ashes of fallen soldiers and the belongings they carried with them during their lifetimes.”

"What kind of arrangement is this? How many bodies are stored, and how many coffins are stored?" Fan Ning asked doubtfully.

"The maximum scale is three hundred corpses and two thousand coffins. Now they are replaced very frequently, but the overall usage rate is relatively saturated." Colonel Alpha said, "The remains are for temporary storage to prevent the plague, and the coffins are for temporary storage. It is used as a transit for transportation. Whenever they go to the front line or on the eve of a mission, many of our soldiers have the habit of leaving simple suicide notes behind or taking them with them for fear of not being able to explain their wishes before death. This includes wanting to leave their own wishes with them. The wish to transport the coffin back to the homeland for burial."

"Even if people who believe in the 'Unfallen Fire' advocate cremation after death, transporting ashes is still a very resource-consuming wartime task. However, in order to boost morale and comfort the living, we have been doing this "

"It's just due to the constraints of practical conditions and cannot take into account every soldier. According to regulations, special circumstances such as new recruits, veterans, female soldiers, officers, only children, and meritorious service personnel should be given priority. Well, Your Excellency, please ask, I I don’t deny that this has resulted in some cases of taking power and accepting bribes, and insiders with decision-making or handling rights may use it for some personal gain, but I still think that the existence of this job is a thing that has more advantages than disadvantages.”

Fan Ning slowly digested the information.

There are really a lot of details, including the fact that an air strike hit the church, there were esoteric cultists in the crew, and a "morgue" was discovered. It's not very abnormal, but it still feels "not normal enough".

Just like when I visited Laibiqi, I encountered the Divine Society acting secretly and creating the "Hester Worm Incident".

After he came here, the air raid on the church became a precedent?

"Miss Luo Yin, do you have any insights?" Fan Ning looked at the girl in the windbreaker opposite and seemed to want to speak, so she took the initiative to ask.

"I'm recalling what you mentioned before, that Priest Hester has been doing free clinics for a long time," Luo Yin said. "If the Divine Advent Society is secretly promoting the so-called 'helminthology' research, there is a prerequisite: If you think about people who are inhabited by worms as research subjects, the Hester incident and the church air raid have something in common.”

"The people we meet are more than enough?" Fan Ning was reminded.

Yes, what they have in common with long-term participation in free clinics or controlling coffin transportation is that they can constantly come into contact with a large number of people! A large number of people from different regions, different ages, different spiritual qualities, and different past experiences!

——If "dead people" or "ashes" are also considered people in a broad sense.

"Your Excellency, do you need to go to the morgue now?" asked Priest Durk.

"Later."

Fan Ning walked around the square like a walk for a minute, and then squatted down in a shabby place where the bricks were cracked.

Melted plastic and rubber with traces of gunpowder, deformed cement and steel bars, and several large and small metal shrapnel and various other messy residues were pulled to his hand one after another for floating and observation by Fan Ning.

"If this 'morgue' and 'free clinic' are both convenient platforms for screening a large number of 'worm-infected people', then what is the meaning of 'bombing'?"

"Some kind of medium behavior similar to the 'corpse ring' ritual found last time in Hester's apartment?"

Behind, Ms. Hermosa, whose overall strength is stronger than Fan Ning, is also watching Fan Ning's movements.

However, this third-level expert who studied "Evolution" may not necessarily be better than Fan Ning, who created his own key to contain the gnosis of "Candle", in terms of his ability to simply sense "spiritual awareness" of transcendental things.

From beginning to end, Hermosa didn't see anything strange, but Fan Ning, who was squatting down, had a deep "ambiguity" in his expression.

After a while, he moved around, leaving several flaming footprints, and stood on the bricks of the bell tower on the side of the square.

Then, everyone saw the priest from a distance, slowly taking out a golden "brick" of light quality.

It is actually a mobile phone disguised as the wreckage of the "Fountain in the Painting".

From this relatively high angle of view, one could see a relatively wide area of ​​bombed blocks to the north. Fan Ning turned on the camera function and took a few photos, first with normal focus, and then with enlarged parts: cracked shop walls, spreading cracks Cannon pits, sculptures with missing arms and legs, and charred flowers and trees

While browsing, Fan Ning's brows gradually wrinkled.

These photos look fine directly, but when you use your fingers to pull through the partial photos again and zoom in to the limit,

He noticed that from time to time there was something visually strange.

How to say it?

The clusters of different things and "pixels" under light and shadow seemed to have been wiped and messed up. The black pieces of the tree trunks entered the silver pieces of the sculptures, and the blood-stained red spots seeped into another perspective. On the white wall in this position, the gray-brown color of the gun pit is mixed with the bright yellow color of the gas lamp.

Fan Ning suddenly thought of something else.

In Priest Hester's apartment, the "Hermiology Notes" melted into the glass coffee table!

When Mr. Wax investigated himself, he took out the extremely weird bottle of "sneaky water"!

Yes, these things are indeed very similar.

They all present a strange effect of confusion, confusion, and visual discomfort.

"The saint said that the 'Sneaky Water' is an extremely rare high-level mysterious substance, which can be regarded as the radiant spiritual fluid of the 'Secret History' phase. So, does the 'Hermiology Notes' also have some secret history color?" ? What substances related to the secret history were mixed into the shells of the soldiers who were originally ordered to fight? "

This could explain why, even though neither he nor Ms. Hermosa noticed any obvious abnormalities, the mobile phone camera, which contained the power of secret history, was able to capture the heterogeneous light and shadow.

So with this air raid, this mysterious substance covered and settled everywhere. What unknown effects will it have?

In the midst of his thoughts, Fan Ning returned to the square and said to Colonel Alpha in a friendly voice:

"Please show me the way to the morgue."

"Yes." The officer obeyed the order in a loud voice.

"Mr. Father, can we also go and see the situation?" Luo Yin tried to ask.

She felt that things involving the Divine Advent Society might be related to the abnormal area that she wanted to know more about.

Fan Ning almost agreed subconsciously, but thinking of the secretive "worm", even with Ms. Hermosa as his escort, he rejected this suggestion that might bring danger to her:

"I'm sorry, Miss Luo Yin, the peace granted by the Lord must also come to our distinguished guests, and we must not neglect it at all."

Why does my father take care of me, Mr. Fanning takes care of me, and Father Lavoisier also takes care of me. Looking at the leaving figures of Fan Ning, Priest Durk and Colonel Alpha, Luo Yin, who was standing there, muttered to himself.

But she immediately did some mental construction. In a secret place under someone else's church, she was a guest of a foreigner and a non-believer, and it seemed a bit disrespectful to follow the past rashly.

"Admiral Lannut, do you two know each other?"

Halfway to the morgue, Fan Ning suddenly asked the two people on the left and right.

"Of course." Priest Durk nodded, "There are more than a hundred priests in Janus, and there are only seven current generals, which is slightly close to the number of bishops in the Western Continent. General Lannut is Janus's senior military general, not as good as The bishop or the deputy chief judge is so respectful, but in terms of administrative level, it is still much higher than the subordinates. "

"Admiral Lannut is my boss." Colonel Alpha also said, "He is directly at the forefront of the conflict in the Apail theater. He is also responsible for contacting and dispatching the Pontua County in the rear. He is Marshal Enukem's right-hand man."

"Oh, that's very good."

Fan Ning began to fumble in the inner pocket of his coat again.

The two of them thought about the bishop's rumored deeds, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

What was supposed to come came.

Fanning took out a pamphlet.

He then turned to the page with the name of the already alert and repentant Brigadier General Boles's boss - also considered the boss of Colonel Alpha next to him - "Admiral Lannut", and continued to ask the two men gently:

"Since Admiral Lannut has been put on the list, and now he is in his territory, there is still more daylight. How come I don't see him coming to me for confession with a book containing his offenses?"
