Jessica raised the small flower basket in her hand and said with expectation:

"Mr. Conan, take as much as you want!"

Eros reached out and rubbed Jessica's head, then took out a box of matches from the small flower basket:

"One box is enough. You won't need so many. I'm very happy that you have this thought."

Jessica pursed her lips, a little aggrieved on her face.

Seeing this, Eros casually changed the subject and said, "Don't you have to go to the church to work today?"

Speaking of work, Jessica's attention was indeed diverted.

"I've finished my morning work! So I came out to sell some more matches. It's a pity that Mrs. Jennifer's flower shop was closed today, so I didn't pick up any flowers. Otherwise, I could have given them to Mr. Conan."

Jessica's tone was a little frustrated when she said this.

Eros was a little surprised. It was only about 7:30 in the morning. How could he finish the morning work so quickly?

Jolton Minster is not one of those small district churches, it is very large.

Jessica seemed to have noticed the surprise on Eros's face and explained:

"Our morning work starts at 3 a.m., and we have to start cleaning the church at 3 a.m. because believers will come to worship at 6:30 a.m."

"Then I clean once at noon and once at night. That's only three times a day. It's still a very easy job."

Three o'clock in the morning, relaxing...

The corners of Eros' mouth twitched, and he coughed dryly and said:

"You are still young, remember to get more sleep when you can rest, it's good for your health!"

Jessica shook her head, still smiling:

"It's okay, I'm in good health."

Eros was helpless. He reached out and rubbed Jessica's head, and quietly injected her with a ray of life force without any pollution.

After doing this, Eros smiled at Jessica and said:

"Okay! It's time for me to work too!"

Jessica nodded heavily, then smiled and waved to Eros:

"Goodbye Mr. Conan!"

"Goodbye!" Eros also waved with a smile, then walked along the street.

Watching Eros's leaving back, Jessica touched her body belatedly.

My body was clearly a little sore just now, but why is it not sore anymore now?

……

After patrolling the streets, Eros came to the Special Operations Department office. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Peter and David with serious expressions.

Eros casually threw a box of matches on the table and asked curiously:

"What happened?"

Hearing Eros' question, Peter scratched his head and said in an irritated tone:

"We didn't find any clues about any members of the Scarlet Cult yesterday or this morning."

"And I just heard from the captain that the three priests from the church who tried divination yesterday are now half crazy."

"We have already taken all the necessary precautions, but we were still contaminated by the air."

"Those damn guys have made full preparations this time. Could it be that they are planning another blood sacrifice?"

Eros frowned: "Blood sacrifice?"

David on the side nodded and explained: "It is a ritual used by the Scarlet Cult to please the Blood-Red God."

"It is said that once this ritual is successful, the Blood-Red God will bestow grace upon all those who participate in the ritual and help them advance their order."

"The highest level can even help the extraordinary to enter the realm of mythology."

"The Scarlet Cult attempted to hold the ceremony a few years ago. Although they succeeded in stopping the ceremony, they still caused great harm to Haidaram."

"It's only been a few years, and they seem to be preparing to hold it again!"
