How do we find the devil from the crowd?

“… it is the devil who throws water away and man who hides it. ”

How can you resist evil witchcraft from the devil?

“… exhorting the name of the Lord of Holy Light, the devil will not be able to harm the faithful, those who are not faithful enough, our Lord will not shelter them… Sounds good, the dead are not faithful enough? Dead people don't talk anyway. ”

How to kill the devil?

“... throw it in the holy fire and burn it with the devil, it won't burn... there shouldn't be any burning. It doesn't say what to do if you can't burn to death. And it doesn't say how to throw the devil in the holy fire. ”

I was helpless to throw away this brochure, The Cathedral Church Exorcism Book (AD324 Revision), which sounds reliable, but the way it works, it reminds me of a world medieval trial witch.

“What the hell is this thing that the Church of the Holy See has been using for so many years to find the devil? This is obviously an innocent murder manual, right? ”

“In fact, this was supposed to be used for religious propaganda. The demons that could have been hidden in the dominion of mankind before, at least at an advanced stage, and many of them were projections, incarnations, and even precedents for mixing with the cardinal bishops of the Cathedral Church, how could ordinary people find them? ”

“… so a pamphlet was sent to appease people? Is this crusader that's built up and barbecued actually a reassuring candlelight? That's a lot of malice. It looks like the world is generally black. ”

Walking through the long black corridor, Diffindor's prison district is truly unpredictable.

Probably the vast majority of the funds were spent on upgrading old and new urban areas, and possibly because the city of innocence was being turned into a reality, while crime rates dropped sharply, and prisons were mostly vacant, with old-time styles.

Walking down the corridor, a dusty smell made people unable to hold their noses, the light of the torch lit up empty cells, the atmosphere was empty, making the prison full of bloody smells a little scary, I listened to the warden's return, while also measuring the inmates.

I also got the information that I wanted to get rid of the prison director's complaints about his work. There were only one hundred and twenty-seven new inmates in the last two months… but it has been the past six months, and even so, there is a strange situation where the number of prison guards is several times higher than the number of inmates.

When I heard this, I really had some doubts that there was no need to go to jail. This is a metropolitan area with millions of people. The total number of prisoners is less than a thousand. When any crime is captured instantaneously, the crime rate falls to this level, and the vast majority of offenders, who are not premeditated offenders, are also impulders.

“… it seems that it is high time for me to be sent to hard labour in a few months' time. ”

“Yes, the number of hard labor in mines and stone mills has been very inadequate lately, they have complained to us many times, but it is incredible to hear that recently they started hiring Dead Sorcerer apprentices to mine with zombies and skeletons, and noble magicians can be hired by civilians like us...”

The young warden seemed a little nagging, but what he said was probably what I expected.

Unlike a relatively peaceful world where the punishment system is predominantly fixed-term imprisonment, the nations of the Aishi world are not so wealthy... Yes, they are wealthy, they have committed crimes and let the state pay for him, without labor and hard labour, they can eat and wear warmth and receive wages, and they can live on lying down. If these countries in the North use the same punishment, I am afraid that prisons will explode immediately, and countless people have committed crimes on their own to eat a bite.

The vast majority of countries on the Aisi mainland have released prisoners after a period of light hard labour, such as theft, which generally lasts no more than two years and is mostly only a few months, but in order not to make him feel too comfortable, not only daily servitude is regularly punished, but finally when he goes out, his face is also stamped, which is a lifetime mark, a disgrace to be washed by his life.

Yes, it is only a misdemeanor, after all, this is a time of turmoil, and if it is a felony such as murder, it is even more crisp, and direct execution is done, but in some places, hard labour, depravity, war cannon ashes are used as a substitute for the death penalty, but in most cases the prisoners are still worse off than dead.

Obviously, such sentences are very unscientific and humane, some of which are less serious, but which carry a life sentence of hard labour amounting to the death penalty, and some of which are rather harsh, but only come out after two years of hard labour.

However, this seems perfectly normal in this world. After all, this has been the case for thousands of years, but a slightly obsessively compulsive former judge has taken great care to create a very detailed code, from the type of punishment to the number of years, the type of punishment prescribed. With the rise of the legal church, the system has been promoted, the punishment has become stricter and more in line with his crimes. Its core system is probably not leisurely, but it does not kill people. Under the premise of guaranteeing the life of the prisoner, it has managed to compensate him for his crimes, minimizing the number of corporal punishments that cause disability, fatal injuries and abolishing typographical punishments.

At least for the time being, good reviews have been made, the country has saved money, prisoners are not worthless to death, there are opportunities for rehabilitation, there is lifelong stigma without facial stereotyping and no longer employment, and it is very easy to embark on a path of recidivism.

It can be said that the interference of a “crosser", and especially the influence of the law church associated with it, has not been matched by Eichy's progress over the rule of law over the last hundred years, perhaps tens of thousands of years.

The better system probably didn't expect to encounter the shortage of criminals. Prisons are empty. Those mining sites that used prisoners as free and hard work in previous years have been in difficult labor situations. Of course, I wouldn't care about these. No crime is a good thing. With the rise of dead labor, labor difficulties are actually not that difficult to solve.

Now that it's winter, those open-air heavy manoeuvres have been shut down. If I had two or three more months in the evening, it would have been time for these prisoners to work in the early spring, scattered across the mines and factories, and it would have been too late to find anyone else.

It's been less than two months since I started the magic reaction in the Devil's Abyss, and I just need to find someone among the prisoners of the last few days.

Instead of using the unreliable method in that brochure, I have a more direct and effective multimodality.

“Look, the magic compass, looking for the devil's detector, the magic watch of Detective Roland (without the anesthesia needle)... well, don't bullshit. This is a contract brave wristlet. ”

In order to cope with the whole side invasion, the Contract Brave system has long been a hot prop. In addition to recording the side invaders destroyed by the Contract Brave, it can also guide the side invaders contaminated by the network of starlight. Of course, the high-power, high-precision radar blocks are also large, and can only be placed in churches and mercenary unions. Individual use of mass production wrestles, limited scope and precision of investigation, or tend to record the effect of battle results.

After that power-forbidden web of stars covers the entire surface, any outsider entering this surface will be painted with the colour of the starlight, and the one they enter will be equivalent to exposing their position to the entire surface.

This does not appear to be a big caution line, but it is increasingly playing a huge role in the war, being able to learn in advance about the activities of the Devil's Abyss, knowing that there are many inferior inhabitants there, and thanks to the existence of this starlight net.

This network of starlight, after all, is a large-scale, perpetual curse, and other curses have the same advantages and disadvantages. Naturally, the advantages are huge in scope, there are killings that have not been spared, but the disadvantages are weak for the individual, and can also be targeted defense.

We set up this network of stars at that time, except to encourage the hunting behaviour of the covenant warriors, strategically to prevent incursions by front regiments, in which case mass production of magic props for counter-surveillance, or counter-surveillance spells to sustain a few people at a lower atmosphere, would be worthless.

But this time, even though the demon was exposed when it first entered, it was then concealed, undoubtedly indicating that they were either super performers capable of washing the starlight mark or wearing targeted magic defenses, the former obviously impossible, while the latter...

“Take those prisoners naked, don't leave a sock behind, and test them one by one with this wrist wheel, and I don't believe they'll make it. ”
