Start a core cabin

Duanmu Huai looked at the man in front of him. The latter was haggard, sallow and thin, and looked like a frown. Seeing this, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly and said.

"It seems that the problem in Locke Town is not just as simple as dead babies."

"........."

Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, the mayor's body trembled, but before he could speak, Duanmuhuai looked at the two people on his shoulders.

"Ojis, Jiawei."

"exist."

"What's up?"

"From now on, I want you to block all the entrances and exits of the town. Anyone who tries to leave will be killed no matter what the reason is. No one is allowed to leave until the investigation of the trial court is completed!"

"OK."

"clear."

As soon as the voice fell, the figures of the two girls flashed and disappeared immediately, and the mayor was also taken aback when he heard Duanmuhuai's order, and looked at Duanmuhuai in surprise.

"Wait, this..."

"I repeat, this is the job of the Inquisition."

Duanmuhuai coldly interrupted the mayor's protest.

"We are not pitiful philanthropists like the paladins of Tyr or Tom. For the Inquisition, any signs of chaos need to be thoroughly investigated. Well, now, you are going to report to Do we report the situation, or just stand here and die?"

"Wow..."

Hearing Duanmuhuai's killing intent, An stuck out her tongue and poked Mary and Guleya.

"Mr. Knight is so fierce..."

"Well, it's rare to see him being so cruel to people..."

Mary also nodded. In her world, Duanmuhuai rarely spoke to others in such an unquestionable tone. Even An and Guleya rarely saw Duanmuhuai put such pressure on people they met for the first time. of. That is simply a naked threat, and there is no room for turning around.

But in fact, this is the daily life of a judge, especially after confirming that there are signs of chaos invasion here, Duanmu Huai directly entered the role of judge, if necessary, he would even completely destroy the entire town and beyond. To prevent the spread of chaos, what's wrong with talking louder in comparison, doesn't this mean that he has enough to eat?

"Okay, okay..."

The mayor had never seen such a terrifying threat, not to mention that Duanmu Huai standing in front of him was more than twice as tall as him, and paired with the dark power armor with a skull, the deterrent effect was even more full. He was even more extreme than those polite paladins. At this moment, he was also shaking with fright, and nodded vigorously in a hurry.

"I, I see, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything...Actually, quite a few people have died in the town..."

"oh?"

Under the stuttering mayor's narration, Duanmuhuai understood the current situation in Locke Town.

At the beginning, Locke Town did give birth to many dead babies, and some people also asked the temple and the church for help, but it was useless. Like the lady who went to the Temple of Tyr for help, they ended up not being able to give birth to a healthy child.

But the situation has not changed, or even worsened. Soon someone was found dead at home. The dead were all the women who had miscarried before and their families. The scene was horrible. Almost everyone was disembowelled, as if they were attacked by some ferocious beast.

It is also because of this that Locke Town has been completely sealed off and no one is allowed to enter. Now people in the town are panicking. Some people claim that it is a demon, and some people think that it may be done by some forces that are hostile to Locke Town. But they are just a A mining town, not to mention that there are almost no mineral deposits at the moment.

"Assaulted, killed, and all by families who had had previous miscarriages?"

Duanmuhuai frowned and thought for a moment.

"Are there any pregnant women in the town now?"

"Yes, there is another...but she has given up hope and is just waiting for the judgment of fate."

"ok, I get it."

Duanmuhuai nodded, then looked at the others.

"Mary, Guleya, go and talk to that lady—especially Mary, watch carefully and see if there is any gain."

"I see."

Although Duanmuhuai didn't say it clearly, Mary knew what he meant, so she nodded and left with Guleya, leading a guard to walk towards a nearby path.

"As for you..."

After giving the order, Duanmu Huai turned to the mayor.

"Take us to see the body."

"OK."

Under the leadership of the mayor and several guards, the group continued to move forward. Soon, they crossed the main road and came to the square in the center of the town. As the mayor said, the whole town looked deserted. Some people locked themselves at home, just looking at these strangers who suddenly appeared through the windows in horror.

However, some people did not stay at home. When he walked to the town square, Duanmuhuai saw several town residents surrounding an old man. The latter was dressed in rags and looked thin, but he was filled with a sense of crazy excitement.

"I tell you! This is the end of the day! We are finished! Humanity is finished!"

"Who is that old man?"

Duanmu Huai glanced coldly at the old man who was yelling in the crowd, and asked, while the mayor sighed helplessly.

"His name is Hall, he is an old farmer, but since this incident happened, he has claimed that he has the ability to foresee, can see the future and so on... and then he talks these nonsense in the small town every day."

"oh………"

Duanmuhuai let out a soft snort, and then walked over. At this moment, the old man didn't notice Duanmuhuai's approach, and was still howling fervently at the people in front of him.

"On the eighth day of the third night, death will come from darkness, and all the heathen will rot on the earth! This is a prophecy! A sign of a new god coming to the earth! To the heathen, he will Like a dark giant with blazing bloodthirsty eyes, but to those who believe in him, he is like a kind shepherd, protecting his followers!"

Originally, everyone was only dubious about the old man's words, but when they saw Duanmu Huai walking behind the old man, several people's expressions changed drastically, and they knelt down on the ground trembling.

"I, I don't want to die! I am willing to follow this new god, what is his name?"

"I don't know either!"

The old man shook his head.

"But follow me, do what I say, and God will see your good intentions!"

"I'm done!"

At this time, a farmer roared and interrupted the old man.

"I've had enough of your nonsense! I don't want to hear your stupid talk!"

"Then a curse will come upon you! Within weeks you will die, the new gods told me! Few will be trusted and saved! The rest will die in darkness ! Just like everyone else! He's coming! He's coming!!"

"Oh, is it so?"

At this time, Duanmu Huai had already walked behind the old man, and said with a sneer.

"So, what else did the new god say to you?"

"He is here to purify evil! Follow him......"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, the old man thought it was another audience member who was asking. He turned his head with a fanatical smile—then the moment he saw Duanmu Huai, he froze in place. However, before the old man could react, Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and grabbed him firmly. He stared at the old man in front of him, his eyes glowing scarlet.

"You lowly heretic, who allowed you to talk nonsense here?"

"No, no, let me go!"

The old man struggled desperately, trying to break free from Duanmuhuai's hand, but to no avail.

"No matter who you are, you can't stop me! Continue to intimidate me! No matter if you push me down, oppress me, kick me, or hit me, I will stand up again and declare the coming of the new god more firmly than before! In your When my soul is in danger, I will try my best to tell everyone the truth! I tell you, the new god will keep me from harm! You have nothing to do with me——!"

However, the old man didn't finish his sentence, because at the next moment, Duanmuhuai's hand turned the old man's head 180 degrees with ease, turning him into a corpse, just like twisting the cap of a bottle. Then Duanmu Huai directly threw it on the ground. Seeing this scene, the people who had surrounded here screamed, and many even turned around and ran away in fright.

In the blink of an eye, all the onlookers in the surrounding area ran away.

"Mayor."

Duanmu Huai didn't care at all the fearful gazes cast on him by the people around him, he turned his head and stared at the mayor who was also standing there blankly, as if he hadn't regained his composure.

"Hang up the body of this heretic, I want everyone to see, this is the fate of promoting heresy!"

"Ah, yes, yes... I see."

At this moment, the mayor seemed to be completely intimidated by Duanmuhuai's murderous aura, nodded hurriedly, and then gestured to the guards, who immediately came over and took the old man's body away quietly. carried away.

"Okay, move on."

No one spoke, the mayor led the way silently, and Duanmuhuai and An walked behind. At this moment, An finally couldn't bear it, and lightly poked Duanmuhuai's body.

"Mr. Knight, Mr. Knight?"

"Um?"

"Why did you kill that old man? In my opinion, he is just a nonsense guy."

"It may also be a potential believer of Chaos God."

Duanmuhuai didn't care about An's inquiry.

"If he is really a believer of Chaos God, letting him go may cause millions of people to die in the future, so I will kill him."

"But...what if he isn't?"

"That's not it."

"Why?"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's indifferent answer, An couldn't help being taken aback, but Duanmuhuai turned his head and stared at An.

"The Tribunal is not an envoy of justice. Remember, the purpose of the Tribunal is to protect human beings at all costs. This at all costs also represents..."

Having said this, Duanmuhuai lowered his voice.

"Even if you kill a hundred by mistake, never let one go, because once this one is negligent, it will lead to the death of thousands of people in the future, don't pity them, ignore their innocent cries—one hundred It is better for an innocent person to die at the hands of the Inquisition than to kneel before the Chaos Daemons alone."

"But this way...wouldn't people be afraid of it?"

"It doesn't matter, the Tribunal is not a messenger of justice, nor is it a hero. We will not be loved, respected, and admired. We will only be disgusted, feared and cursed. But it doesn't matter, because we are just doing what we should do, It is our duty to resist chaos and protect mankind, it is as simple as that."

Duanmuhuai shrugged, then looked up again, while An sighed.

"This road is really difficult to walk."

"Of course, so goals are important, and when you have clear goals, the rest doesn't matter."

While speaking, a group of people had arrived at the cemetery, and even through the rusty iron fence, they could still see rows of newly dug graves inside.

"Okay, don't think about those boring things."

Duanmuhuai touched Ann's head.

"It's time for us to get to work, too."
