Pastor's Tantra

Chapter 540 Death of Blue Rose

The atmosphere between Loki and Pure White became visibly tense. 6̳̳

No one else dared to speak, and the only one who could interrupt at this time was Aiwass.

"Actually, Cardinal Loki."

Aiwass tapped his chest three times with his right hand and said: "I am personally involved in this matter - because of the bishop named Mercedes, she died in the cabinet in my room.

"And if Her Majesty the Saint hadn't had other important matters at that time, the first person to see her friend's body would have been herself. I would have witnessed all of this as a witness."

"so what?"

Loki asked rhetorically.

He looked normal, as if he didn't know anything about Pure White Ningba.

Aiwass raised his eyebrows slightly.

——Could this be Loki's disguise?

Is he pretending that he doesn't know about this matter, so that he can get away with being a suspect?

But at this moment, Chunbai suddenly spoke and said something that surprised Aiwass: "Cardinal Loki, Aiwass knows about that matter."

……Um?

Aiwass looked at Pure White in surprise.

What does this mean?

Loki's expression was also slightly moved.

He frowned slightly, looked into his pure white eyes, and said in a stern tone: "You should know that you cannot tell outsiders about this kind of thing. Especially short-lived species."

"I didn't tell him everything just as I didn't tell him all your secrets."

Chunbai looked at Cardinal Loki equally seriously and seriously: "This matter only concerns me."

"That's not the case. Our affairs are related to the Theocracy itself. It is closely related to you, me, and all of us."

"But at the end of the day, the matter itself is still my business."

The two senior leaders of the Theocracy turned into Riddlers and argued in words that outsiders could not understand.

——But Aiwass could understand it.

Because of this, he can easily discern information that others cannot detect.

...It sounds like Cardinal Loki already knew about Pure White Ningpa?

No, according to what they said, the entire group of cardinals should know about this.

This is reasonable. With Chunbai's upright and trouble-free character, she probably doesn't seem to be the type to deliberately hide such things... Since there are still people who can use this to plot against her, it means that this secret has already been solved in a sense. It's no longer a secret. Instead, it was Loki. He didn't want more people to know about this... What's going on?

Also, what Junshiro said about Loki's secret...

... Could it be that Cardinal Loki also has a secret that can even be compared with the pure white Ningba?

Is this thing related to Controlled Fire? Is it related to his sudden death?

While Aiwass was thinking in his mind, Cardinal Loki looked at Aiwass again.

"I'm not the kind of person who likes to mention the same thing over and over again, so I will only say it again here. If you don't want to hear it, then I won't say it to you again."

Cardinal Loki said seriously: "The Theocracy will soon become chaotic - the time you came here was not very good. If I were you, I would leave the Theocracy first and wait until the end of the year. return."

Junbai on the side just interrupted: "I will protect him."

But Aiwass noticed that she did not deny that the Church would fall into chaos.

Cardinal Loki shook his head: "You can't protect him.

"——You can't even protect Bishop Mercedes, and you still want to protect Aiwass? He is in more trouble than Bishop Mercedes."

When she heard the first half, Chunbai frowned slightly - for Chunbai, who had a calm personality, this was already considered anger.

But when she heard the second half, she was startled.

The pure white saint temporarily put aside her anger at her friend's murder, frowned and asked Cardinal Loki seriously: "What do you know about Aiwass?"

"My past is chasing me."

Cardinal Loki replied: "I will not be able to help myself."

Pure White frowned slightly: "When?"

"yesterday."

"Did you pray to Si Zhu?"

"I prayed to Him three times last night."

The corners of Cardinal Loki's mouth slightly raised without fear: "Now it seems that it is time for the soul to return to the sky."

Chunbai narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at him: "Then...why don't you come with me? I can also protect witnesses and criminals."

"I already said, that matter has nothing to do with me."

Loki shook his head slightly, turned around and answered.

"Did someone from Controlled Fire do it?"

"That's right."

Unexpectedly, Loki replied.

"Who is it?" Chunbai asked.

Loki heard this, looked back at her, and spit out a name.

"Gloria Blue Rose."

Chunbai's face, which was always expressionless, suddenly became obviously shaken.

Hearing this, Aiwass, who had been quiet next to him, suddenly raised his eyebrows.

Because he has also heard of this name.

This is not a good thing.

"...So, where is Gloria?"

Pure White took a deep breath.

Loki glanced at her, then looked back at the mirrors.

He pointed to a certain mirror, and a girl suddenly appeared in the mirror.

The flaxen hair is very short, even shorter than Aiwass.

The next moment, her picture suddenly zoomed in. It spread from a mirror to the entire wall, and the whole body could also be seen in the picture where only the face was originally visible.

Gloria was wearing a thin, breathable white gown. She is very short and looks like a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old.

Under her clothes, one can clearly see gem crystals one after another, like scars.

Her palms, backs of hands, shoulder blades, collarbones, neck... are all covered with dense gem crystals. She even seemed stiff when she moved.

The most eye-catching thing is her right eye.

Her right eye has turned into a dark blue gem as beautiful as the starry sky, and there seem to be many stars in it. But there are no pupils or eyeballs.

She was holding a thick stack of letters in her hand.

It was a "Confessions" written in slightly distorted handwriting.

It can be vaguely seen that what is written above is the murder of Bishop Mercedes.

She walked to the edge of the earth, which was near the edge of a certain ring.

Then, a golden glow ignited in her hand—perhaps also a particularly bright amber color.

Under the catalysis of light, those letters were activated one by one and turned into paper cranes, flying in all directions at the same time. When the paper cranes dispersed, she also fell forward, opened her arms and fell down.

"...Gloria!"

Pure White exclaimed.

She subconsciously took a half step forward and stretched out her right hand as if to grab forward. But at the moment when he was about to stretch out, he slowly let it go.

"……when did it happen?"

"Early this morning."

Cardinal Loki replied.

The next moment, he waved his hand.

The scene suddenly changed.

It is a leafless tree twisted through horticultural techniques. It was originally used as a seat, but now it is scattered with many gemstone fragments, blue, green, yellow, red... The whole tree is sparkling under the decoration of these fragmented gemstones.

Only a jeweled face with closed eyes fell in front of the tree. It was still broken into two halves, with only the part above the chin still intact.

"Candidate Saint Gloria."

Cardinal Loki replied: "Her coagulation disease has already reached the advanced stage, and she can only survive because of your talk to her. But she has been tired of this state for too long... Maintaining the status quo is also a twilight move,' Stop Ning Ba itself cannot stop Ning Ba', this is a paradox belonging to the elves.

"But it's obvious that she wants a short and glorious death more than delaying the freezing of the amber and finally having her soul frozen in those sculptures.

"How can you define what she did to Mercedes as a murder... rather than a rescue?"

Loki turned around and looked at Chunbai again: "As far as I know, Bishop Mercedes did not resist when she died. You are so sure that she wants to live and be with you...waiting for the future Ningpa?"

But this time, Chunbai subconsciously averted her gaze.

"Your Highness the Saint."

Loki said softly: "Only one of the dozens of candidate saints can be born. They are all your substitutes. When you encounter an accident, they may become saints.

"If you don't die, others will have to be candidate saints all their lives. They will practice the skills of resonance with the Nine Pillar Gods all their lives, and survive in a high ring isolated from the world. How high is the probability of the candidate saints becoming amber, you yourself You should also know.

"You said it's because the elves who are not prone to Ningpa become professionals, so professionals are not prone to Ningpa. So let me ask you, does the inheritance itself really not affect the probability of Ningpa disease? How high is the candidate saint? Ningpa rate, the almost binding life-and-death relationship between each group of the Pope's guards. If one person dies, the other will follow Ningpa... and your former mentor, Betinadia Fanhua - these people Does his death really have nothing to do with the inheritance itself?

"——You are a winner, you are a survivor, Her Royal Highness the Saint. Just like me. We are all lucky. But there are always some unfortunate people. Some people cannot become inheritors, and some inheritors die. Those who follow Not all of my people are professionals - there are also some inheritors who have encountered the Ningpa crisis and are seeking change, treatment and relief. They are also elves.

"Now let me ask you, Your Highness the Saint——

"Controlled fire, is it really wrong?"

Facing the saint and the four papal guards, Cardinal Loki's words did not waver at all.

His eyes were as blazing as fire, and the red light burning in his pupils was like the setting sun.

The sun sets at dusk.
