The edge of pure land
Chapter 30 Holy High Priest
When Lu Buer wasted his time, almost ten minutes after Lao Zhang delivered the letter, the military base of the Third City Guard was under martial law again because the Inquisition intervened in the investigation.
Forty soldiers, including him, were brought into the meeting building of the military division base.
Next, everyone queues up in a black room for interrogation.
The small dark room where Lu Fuji lived was airtight. The mottled and peeling walls were hung with rusty iron frames, and torture instruments with solidified blood spots were hung on them. It was shocking to look at it.
There was no light in the room, only a ray of light leaking through the crack of the door.
This kind of hellish place is usually where only people who are about to be sent to a military court are imprisoned for interrogation. No matter whether you are really guilty or not, you have to shed a layer of skin when you come here. Because of this, most of the people who were brought in were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they were trembling.
About five minutes later, the door of the interrogation room opened, and bright light hit him.
Lu Buer saw a strong man and a tall sister.
There is nothing special about a strong man, except that he is particularly tall and strong.
Looks like a low-profile Hulk.
The royal sister was very eye-catching. Her black and white trial uniform was deliberately shortened by her. Under the gray pleated skirt, you could see her round porcelain white thighs, and below that was a pair of black high boots.
In the past, some pretty girls in school would deliberately change their school uniforms. The zipper on their upper body would be left open to reveal their delicate collarbones, and their pants would be tightened to highlight the graceful lines of their legs.
"I think it should be him."
Damon said muffledly.
"Isn't it?"
Qiangwei sneered: "Most people are so frightened that they cry father and mother when they see us. Only this guy doesn't change his expression and keeps staring at my legs. Hey, are they that good-looking?"
Damon geared up, while Qiangwei played with the dagger on her waist.
According to Commander Longque, it is not difficult to find the witnesses they need among a large number of soldiers. They just need to accurately find the one who is not afraid at all.
They were lucky enough to find it on the fifteenth trial.
Lu Fuji sighed: "It's true that you look good, but I can see some cyan blood vessels on your thighs, which are obvious varicose veins. It may be because you have been standing for a long time, or it may be that you like to show off your skin all day long. It hurts your legs and causes you to catch a cold. Anyway, you should pay attention."
Qiangwei was stunned.
Damon nodded slightly: "It's true that she likes to show off too much."
After saying that, she was scratched.
"Aren't you afraid when you see us?"
Qiangwei narrowed her beautiful eyes and said coldly.
Lu Fuji said calmly: "I found you, why should I be afraid? It's just that I'm a little surprised, why is it not Longque who comes, but you."
Damon was quite nice, and explained: "Because Mr. Longque has difficulty moving, please ask us to do it. Don't worry about you being exposed, we will keep it strictly confidential."
Qiangwei said angrily: "Why don't you just report your name instead of reporting the entire army for us to investigate one by one? Do you know that the judge's time is precious?"
Lu Fuji said seriously: "I am a witness, of course you have to protect me. If a group of you come to me, people with ulterior motives will know my identity. What if they come to kill me and silence me? You have lost your witness. , I also lost my life.”
Damon said seriously: "Rose can protect you. She is proficient in autopsy and medical skills, and also knows how to disguise and sneak. She can protect you 24 hours a day."
Qiangwei raised her white chin proudly.
Lu Buer hesitated for a moment and asked: "Twenty-four hours, are you serious? What about when I go to the toilet to take a shower? Doesn't she just go to the toilet to take a shower?"
"..."
Lu Fuji sighed deeply, tapped his hands on the table, and said word by word: "Don't blame me for being cautious, but the Corpse Food Cult is a very important matter, and you can't be careless."
In fact, he only learned the name of the Corpse Food Cult yesterday.
I had no idea how serious the matter was.
I say this just to increase some bargaining chips.
Since it's a negotiation, you can't act like a criminal.
Neither humble nor arrogant is the true nature of a man.
Corpse Food Cult!
Upon hearing the name, Damon and Rose looked at each other.
"Take it away immediately."
Damon said in a deep voice.
"Um."
Qiangwei took out a pair of black stockings from her bag and put them on the boy's head.
It makes Lu Fuji look like a stupid bank robber.
"I have a question……"
Lu Fuji smelled the smell on the stockings and hesitated.
"If you want to ask if I have worn these stockings, you are dead!"
"..."
The two inquisitors took him upstairs, passed through layers of security checks, and finally saw a familiar wheelchair and a gray-haired man in a corridor.
The sunlight coming from the window illuminated Longque's face. He lowered his head and played with a silver coin. He didn't slowly raise his head until he saw two subordinates coming with witnesses.
"meet again."
Longque's sight seemed to penetrate the stockings and see the boy's face clearly.
It's that feeling of being seen through from head to toe again.
Only this time, Lu Buer didn't feel threatened.
Instead, I felt that the other person's eyes looked like a smile but not a smile.
Lu Buer noticed that the two judges had let go of him, so he adjusted the angle of the stockings and hood, and said doubtfully: "Looking at your tone, you seem to know it's me?"
Longque smiled: "Actually, I guessed it when I received the third letter. I called up the surveillance of the traffic and found that every time a letter appeared at the door of the Heretic Inquisition, a group of Morgan Chamber of Commerce workers would pass by. I investigated again I met the group of workers and found a middle-aged man there, who was from the same group of cocoon breakers as you. That guy was also investigated by Aoki."
They had met in the frontline camp.
In fact, Longque had a hunch at that time that they would meet again.
Now it seems that everything is destined.
It is precisely because of the distrust in the camp that we have today's cooperation.
"I see."
Lu Fuji also knew that there was no way to avoid getting wet shoes when walking by the river.
Once or twice might not be noticed.
But it will definitely be the third time.
The Inquisition is not a fool.
"I think you also know that I will definitely notice you after you send the letter for the third time."
Long Que said calmly: "You are ready, aren't you?"
Lu Fuji smiled, it was a pleasure to talk to smart people.
"Then you should know what I want."
He squatted down, took out a piece of paper from his military boots, and handed it out casually: "This is part of the information about the Corpse Food Cult. You must ensure my personal safety, and of course the personal safety of my friends. In addition, I also need certain evolutionary resources.”
When Longque heard the words of the Corpse Food Cult, his pupils shrank slightly, and then said: "I will do my best to protect your safety. But in terms of resources, don't be too open-minded. I just returned to this city not long ago, and I have no basic foundation." How can we be stable...with only that little salary, we are very poor."
He paused: "Qiangwei, take the evidence."
Qiangwei glanced at the note: "Damon, take the evidence."
Damon also wanted to imitate their conversation, but found that there was no one else around him.
I can only bite the bullet and comply.
"How should I cooperate with you next?"
Lu Fuji asked.
Longque shook his head: "Of course I can't directly resolve such a big thing. This time, I mainly take you to meet some real big shots and help you fight for the right to enter and leave the camp freely... Of course, there are also We have to settle what happened last night.”
His last words were spoken through lip reading.
The eyes are meaningful.
Lu Fuji shrugged: "What happened yesterday is none of my business."
Longque nodded slightly: "That's right."

With a bang, the door at the end of the corridor opened.
This is a huge conference room, just like a court five hundred years ago. There are four great gods sitting on the high platform. Their appearance, temperament and size are all very different, but they give people a sense of oppression.
The most eye-catching thing is an old officer. His sparse head is actually burning with flames, and his eyes are filled with hot fire. His face is as majestic and terrifying as a wrathful King Kong, and his body is so strong that he looks like a high-end version. The Hulk was about to collapse the chair.
The gilt plate in front of him marked his identity.
Chief of Shengen City Guards, Yuan Lie.
The second one was an old man with white beard and hair. He looked like he was going to be buried at any time. He wore a pair of old-fashioned tortoiseshell glasses and was covered in soot.
It looks like a corpse dug out of a coal mine.
The Cardinal Archbishop in charge of Noah's Agency, Rainer Inbas.
The third person is a cold and stern young man, handsome and erect, with a majestic appearance.
Confidential Secretary of the City Lord's Palace, William Russell.
The last one is the most awe-inspiring, because she wears a holy jade mask, her black hair is scattered like a waterfall, her moon-white sacrificial clothes are scattered like flowing water, and her sacred and solemn temperament fills every corner of the conference hall. , meeting her is like a pilgrimage.
She sat at the highest point of the conference hall, looking down at mortals like a god.
Holy High Priest, Lotus.
Before Long Que entered the conference hall, he specifically mentioned these four people to him.
The first two can be basically ignored.
The third one needs to be dealt with.
As for the fourth one, he only said four words.
Do not look directly.
In addition to these four people, there was also an acquaintance who was listening.
That person turned out to be Major Yuan Qing.
Qiangwei and Damon opened the door, came in, bowed, and then left.
The big shots nodded slightly, showing a relatively gentle side to their subordinates.
When Lu Fuji came in wearing stockings and a hood, the big shots were obviously taken aback.
But she still gave him a hum, probably because she wanted him not to be too nervous.
There have been cases in the past where witnesses were so frightened that they babbled nonsense after seeing senior officials.
When Longque came in in a wheelchair, the big shots snorted.
Dissatisfaction and hostility were evident.
What kind of popularity is this?
boom!
A palm print was directly photographed on the table.
Yuan Lie was the first to attack and roared: "Longque, is this the witness you brought? If it's just to see us, forget it. The high priest is here today, and you let him dress like this?"
The remaining three senior executives were very calm, as if they were used to it.
The entire conference room echoed with Shen Xiong's roar, and the floor shook violently.
Long Que scratched his ears: "The incident happened in a hurry, without much preparation. Compared with etiquette, the safety of the witnesses is more important. Of course, it doesn't matter now."
He pulled off Lu Fuji's silk stocking hood.
"He knows something about what happened yesterday."
Long Que said calmly: "You can judge for yourself."
The senior officials glanced at the young man at the same time.
Only the high priest seemed not to see this man at all.
Major Yuan Qing was surprised. He did not expect that the so-called witness was a soldier under her command.
When the pressure was put on Lu Fuji, he was silent for a moment, changed his expression that was neither humble nor arrogant, lowered his head and said hoarsely: "I...I don't know anything."
As soon as this statement came out, the expressions of the senior executives did not change at all.
Major Yuan Qing crossed his arms and said angrily: "Just say what you said, why are you hesitating? You need to know who these four people you met are. If you are released because of telling the truth, Where do they put their old faces? Don’t worry, everyone here today will swear an oath of secrecy under the leadership of the high priest, and it will be witnessed by the sacred oath, and no one can violate it. "
Lu Fuji raised his head: "Really?"
There was dead silence in the conference hall, everyone was waiting for his answer.
Long Que coughed softly, indicating that he was almost done.
Lu Buer cleared his throat and said a set of words he had prepared for a long time: "When we came out of the land of the past, we did encounter a group of pagans and were almost killed by them. Fortunately, Judge Aoki was in time. Came to rescue us and clean up the group of infidels.”
"But after we entered the temple and mastered the sacred rhythm, everyone except me lost the relevant memories. I don't know how I remembered those things, but I was too afraid to tell anyone .Even if Mr. Longque comes to verify it in person, I dare not say anything."
He paused: "Because Aoki is at the scene, I'm afraid he will take revenge later."
It turns out that it is reasonable.
The atmosphere in the conference hall relaxed a bit.
"But on the night that Mr. Longque left, Aoki came back and beat me and my friends. He made sure that we didn't remember anything before leaving. However, this scene was heard by Luther who was going to the toilet. The next day, Luther Se threatened us during the mission and revealed the truth to him. Otherwise, he would ask his uncle to give us some clues."
Lu Buer pays attention to nine truths and one falsehood when lying.
Anyway, Luther is dead, and the blame is being pushed on him, and no one can find out.
"We had no choice but to confess the situation at that time."
Lu Fuji said in a low voice: "I don't even know what happens next."
At this moment, Lu Buer found that everyone's eyes were fixed on the high priest.
He was also a little uneasy, fearing that he would be betrayed.
After a long silence, the high priest glanced at him coldly. Her voice could not tell the age. It was as beautiful as the sound of nature, but it also conveyed unquestionable majesty.
"Not lying."
She said calmly.
The senior officials nodded slightly, it seemed that this was an honest young man.
Lu Buer was stunned.
What the hell, he obviously lied.
Could it be that such a holy high priest couldn't see it?
Why did this group of people just believe it without any doubt?
But soon he knew why.
Because among the senior officials present, no one had ever dared to look directly at this high-ranking high priest.
When the high priest came to a conclusion, he glanced at them lightly, a look that seemed to say: "Shut your mouth."
So the executives shut up.
What you say is what it is.
So, what level of boss does this have to be?
"I see, it makes sense now. All the letters of complaint received by the Inquisition were written by Luther. Why did Luther target Aoki? It was most likely for blackmail or extortion, and other unreportable reasons. Human purpose. But Aoki confirmed the identity of the informant through some channel, sneaked into the camp secretly, and tried to kill Luther."
Major Yuan Qing frowned and analyzed: "It seems that this Luther is not as simple as imagined. He is probably a member of the heretical church. Otherwise, he has no reason to do this. And Aoki will most likely follow. This heretical church is related and turned against each other due to some conflicts of interests. In this way, both sides have reasons to be hostile."
"As for the White Walker, perhaps Luther and his behind-the-scenes forces are controlling it."
Her beautiful eyes became brighter: "Well, Aoki is holding the evidence of the heretics and wants to gain benefits for himself. Luther, as the pawn of the heretics, is ready to kill him and silence him!"
Damn, what a wonderful reasoning.
Lu Fuji just wanted to hug her thigh and call her sister.
Long Que sat in a wheelchair and gave a thumbs up.
"Very good, just as I suspected."
He raised his head and praised with a smile on his face: "I must admit that I have to take back my evaluation back then. It is really a pity that Major Yuan Qing will not be the judge."
