Hunter of the Perished World

[152] Failure is not worthless (5)

It took a long time for them to communicate with the spirits of Twilight City. As you disband the spirits, everyone slowly returns to their place. It meant that he had all the information he needed.

After the spirits' dissolution, Oracle suddenly sneezes, covering his mouth.

“Cough! Cough! Cough!”

“Oh, I'm fine. Are you? ”

Leona hurriedly approaches you and looks at Oracle with pale complexion. The one with the white complexion, obviously in poor condition.

“Blood?”

There was blood on his hands and blood on Oracle's mouth. Leona's eyes flutter violently.

“Th-that's okay…. It's been a long time since I've had a strong connection.... That's it.Don 't worry... ”

“It's no big deal! ”

Leona shouts with the axe's eyes open.

“You're a child! So if you're sick, you can say you're sick! ”

It was a strange and funny situation for young Leona to say that, but she was actually making a face.

Jinn and Ramfil thought it would be okay, but Oracle stepped in front of him as soon as he bled out. Obviously, the blurry pattern was close to exhaustion. Leona yells at you repeatedly, "I'm fine." Leona smiles faintly.

“I don't need to be okay…. ”

The mission was so dark that Leona lost her words. Unlike Leona, the wanderer, the boy in front of her was responsible for this vast area. This young boy had already been preparing to die and was already under heavy pressure, it was definitely strange.

The glorious and unpopular ruler has turned away from all his suffering under the pretext that he should bear everything.

So, Leona couldn't help but console herself. Gin asked.

“Do you usually do this? ”

“Oh, no... Occasionally, there are more important things to do. ”

Oracle pulls out his handkerchief, wipes his mouth and hands, and then stands upright as if he were fine. Even grown-ups were so uncanny.

No, it might have been a coincidence because it became an Oracle in its youth.

“I got a clue. ”

Despite all the bloodshed, Oracle wasn't doing much.

Oracle sits at rest, and the Guardians and Priests try to approach, but everyone is bitten. It may be counterintuitive for Oracle to only talk to outsiders, but that's not important to Oracle right now.

I made up my mind about my progress. Having a clue from the spirits meant the traitor was not among the High Septon Hodran, but among the High Septon.

“It's not a specific clue... That should be sufficient grounds. ”

“What's the clue? ”

“There was no spirit that used pesticide spraying. It can't be a lie. ”

That said, specifying the killer is still too much. So what are the credible clues?

“Three iron beaks disappeared a year ago. ”

The iron beak was the size of a divine spirit.

It has strong wings, excellent vision, and excellent tracking power. It's a non-hostile spirit, but an adult man with sharp claws and beaks close to a cutter is also a dangerous monster who can be killed instantly.

“You think the beak was used for pesticide application and killed to destroy evidence? ”

“There's a good chance of that. ”

Oracle settles things calmly. A bird of prey of that size could have gotten into the seed vault, and contaminating it shouldn't be too difficult.

“The iron beak was used for a crime. But we don't know who did it, so it's a maze... ”

Jean's expression was getting darker and darker.

“No…. ”

But it wasn't because the case fell into the maze that the boy's face was dark.

“The grinding.... It's hard to tame. It's like a fairy. The iron beak reacts to a priest who has been with us longer than he has to respond to the strength of his sympathy. Should I say" Jung "? Friendship with long-time caregivers is important. ”

I nodded because I didn't know everything about the Jindo Twilight Cult.

“So the ironmith always finds its owner and has a good memory. ”

“What's the point? ”

“The Church plays the role of a grinding book. But because it's hard to tame.... Not many people operate it. ”

I had no choice but to say the look on Oracle's face was horrible.

“As you know, some of the Church's ambassadors are in charge of navigating the area and identifying children with strong psychotic sensitivity. ”

“Yes…. That means... ”

“Yes.”

That's how you came to Twilight City and became Oracle.

“The ironmith is used by our deputies to contact Twilight City. ”

A spirit that covers people. Therefore, it is not just the ordinary level of the new commission, but the acting commission, among others, who work on the search for sensitizers. Jean seemed to understand why the faint expression was so desperate.

“A year ago, one person retired from the job for health reasons. ”

“Mmmm... ”

“Since they can't take over Bondi, they need to get new ones. So it's easy to use. ”

Iron beams that are not treated as the property of the Church are relatively free to operate. If anything were to happen, I would just say that I let him go.

“A successor by the name of the hyphen. ”

“… Are you intimate? ”

“This is my godmother. ”

He recognized his gift and sent it to Twilight City. That is why she was a patron of the auspicious pattern, the godmother.

His eyes trembled as if he could not understand the situation.

“You think she's the culprit? ”

“A year ago, I retired a little while ago, and it was reported that I had three beaks, all three of which were released, but the spirits said they were suddenly gone. ”

If it were to set them free, the iron beaks would all be ‘suddenly gone.' ’There was a problem with remembering.

So all the clues were already pointing to a retired successor by the name of Suzum.

Even retirees are clearly sympathetic, not active. So it was no problem to put them on the suspect ship.

Gene picked up a suspect, which leads to Oracle finding him. So what we need to do now is clear.

“We'll have to interrogate. Will you do it?”

He smiled bitterly.

“I guess I'm right. ”

No matter how retired he is, he is an important figure of the Twilight Brigade, one prefect. Although he was an interrogator of such a person, Jin was not doing a good deed. But you're clearly an Oracle, but you're still a child.

I still wasn't confident in proceeding with the interrogation.

“Still, can you keep an eye on him? ”

“Whatever.”

Interrogations will be conducted by Oracle, but Jean will keep an eye on things to prevent any irregularities from happening in the process. A retired lieutenant betrayed the order. And I couldn't stop it because it was a lone offender.

So now Oracle can only trust no one in the Church, but the apostle of Dusk, who always reached out for help in the crisis of the Church. Jinn, who was a stranger but not a stranger, was the only accomplice who might not doubt you now.

Fortunately, I didn't leave Twilight City. She was gently summoned to the Twilight Tower by the Guardians.

She retires, but she doesn't seem overwhelmed by her behavior. But she was definitely old. The fine lines on her face spoke of the years she had endured, and her arms and legs were clearly thinned. But she doesn't climb the stairs.

She heads underground, not to the ground.

The Twilight Tower has a ground floor, but also a basement, and I know that most of the congregation and even the dizzy priests are underground in the Twilight Tower, but I know it's just a vault for the Church's sacraments and important supplies.

It's only half right.

Obviously, there are supplies and sacraments in the Twilight Tower on the first floor of the basement. That's why it was the most important secret place, and no one could step foot in it without Oracle's permission.

The pathway down to the basement was a top-secret location that was guarded by the Guardians, and only a handful of Guardians and Oracle could get down there.

And in the cellar, there's a way down to the deeper basement.

Except for Oracle, some of the guardians were hunters of the Twilight Brigade, the guardians of the gospel. They live underground and take the subway through another route to a place other than the entrance of the Twilight Tower.

The Twilight Cult is not only clean. Those who do not believe in the Twilight Bridge, those who try to fornicate the Church, and those who cause problems are killed here.

They are heretics who violate even the doctrines of the twilight bridge and kill monsters for the welfare of the Christians, and are therefore more faithful fanatics than anyone else at twilight. When they rode out into the wolf, they always disguised themselves as scouts, but in reality they were the hounds responsible for the red and the disposal of the hostile monsters.

In addition, gospel troops do not just serve as hunter troops, but also conduct judgments against heretics. It was ironic for heretics to interrogate heretics more than anyone else, but in fact, the vast space to reach the underground four floors was the dwelling of the gospel army, the training ground, the command post, and the interrogation room.

The basement is dark.

However, there was no inconvenience in living here because the light was on using a chip. This basement was a very important secret of the Twilight Bridge, and at the same time the only place in Twilight City to use energy.

And now Oracle and Gene are in the basement, facing the deceased's successor in the interrogation room. Oracle wanted Ramfil and Leona to stay on the ground, and he didn't try to force them to come.

Oracle sat on an interrogation room chair, staring at the prongs drawn under a pale white back with a complex gaze.

“It's been a long time. Oracle.”

“May the grace of dusk be with you. Long time no see. Godmother.”

She sits across the hall, Gene standing with her back against the wall. He glanced at Gin and smiled bitterly.

“You look like you know me. ”

The old man laughs at Jean's words.

“We've met before. It was when I was still getting my kidney trained. ”

Gene doesn't remember everyone, so he couldn't think of a budding priest by the name of Suzum.

“You came here like this, and then you just disappeared. ”

The girl's name became old, and the apostle of twilight found the church again, not carved any wrinkles on her face.

Some never meet the Demon Hunter, but others may meet the Demon Hunter again. And some see themselves aging and the remaining demon-hunters and realize the world's uncertainty.

I wonder why I can't get my hands on that. So there were those who coveted Gene's eternal life, and they usually met a miserable end. As did Mr. Odin, ruler of New Hong Kong.

But I thought it was different.

He is who he is, and I can't even imagine how he feels about the world changing all the time. It was because she had lived a long life as a successor who had suffered and suffered many people, and because she knew the misery she felt when she faced things that had changed as much as she had lived.

Clumsy. And compassion.

As he looked at the camp, he felt both emotions at the same time. Eternal life is not just a pleasant work.

But now it is not a place to commemorate a reunion that I don't even remember. Even the guardians of the gospel had to tell a story so important that they had to be bitten far, and it was never a happy place for anyone. He didn't panic, so he wasn't afraid.

Seeing that there seemed to be no doubt that he had come to this place where he should not have come, the mysterious figure said.

“Do you know why I brought you here? ”

“Morriga. You summoned me here, which means Oracle has noticed my tricks. ”

Then he looked at Gin once. After the apostle of Dusk came at a bad time, her plot was revealed. Now, if you get the seeds of the Venflower Wildflowers, whatever she intends, the flowers will sprout again.

The bold answer made his face distorted.

“Why…. Why on earth did you do that? More loyal than anyone, more devoted to the Church, why did you do this? ”

In the end, Oracle was unable to stay calm. What was in front of him was a man who taught him faith, made him a priest, and made him a master of baptism. She was a parent, a counselor, and soon a teacher, to a eunuch who became a priest, whether her real parents would be separate.

I couldn't believe the person who believed that even if everyone betrayed him, he would not be as much trouble as her.

I wanted her to deny it. I wanted to cry out, "No way."

But she admits everything so softly.

The penis had a gentle smile. It was the smile she always showed you. She hugged the boy with a smile, even when she spilled nosebleeds, because the mental awareness process was so painful.

With that smile, speak boldly.

“Faithful. How can I be faithful when I don't have anything to believe in?" ”

“! ”

The words made Oracle's complexion pale.
