"He lied to you. Everything he said was a lie."

 A voice rang out from the crowd. It was the voice of Lin Lingniao. She stepped out from the shadows, staring into the mayor's eyes. A smile appeared on her face as she asked, "As the mayor, why did you allow people to be fed to monsters?"

 Cun Zhen looked at Lin Lingniao, his face full of distortion and struggle.

 He knew that he couldn't answer truthfully, but his current feelings did not obey his rationality. The emotions in his heart were shouting madly: Answer her, answer her truthfully, answer her.

 Not only are there inconsistencies between emotion and rationality on issues, but there are also inconsistencies between emotion and rationality on cognition.

 Reason told him that the woman in front of him was a stranger, but the feelings in his heart told him that the woman in front of him was the person he could trust the most, he could trust her unconditionally and could give his life for her.

 Emotions were like a ferocious beast, constantly attacking the defenses of rationality. It felt as if there were two of him constantly fighting inside his body, causing his expression to become distorted.

 "tell me."

 Lin Lingniao's voice was gentle, as if she was acting coquettishly.

 The mayor spoke up and said, "Because the Church of the Holy Blood promised to give us health and longevity, no one can refuse this gift."

 Lin Lingniao asked again, "Why did you stand up for Bishop Wuer?"

 "The town and the church are one. If there are any problems, only the town can handle them. Outsiders are not allowed to interfere. Moreover, there is no problem with the Holy Blood Church and the Holy Blood Church has no fault." said the mayor.

 "What about that man-eating monster? If we don't send orphans to the monster to eat, will the monster really attack villages and towns?" Lin Lingniao asked again.

 "No, the monster is a creature raised by the Holy Blood Monster. It cannot leave the temple and will not attack villages and towns." said the mayor.

 After hearing the mayor's answers, Xia He suddenly felt filled with anger.

 That was the anger of being fooled. She had just been completely deceived by this old man.

 None of what the old man had just told her was true.

 Lin Lingniao continued to ask, "What about the orphans in the church? Were they really bought back?"

 "We didn't buy them. This place is surrounded by desert and isolated from the outside world. It's inconvenient to go out, so we can't buy so many orphans." The mayor replied.

 "Where do the orphans in the church come from?" Lin Lingniao asked.

 "That is……"

 The mayor was about to speak when a hand suddenly stretched out from his chest. The hand was sharp and pointed, like a claw. It instantly pierced through the mayor's chest and went towards Lin Lingniao's chest at a high speed.

 It only takes a moment to penetrate the chest of the forest spirit bird.

 At this moment, Xia He's hand suddenly stretched down and shook hands with the clawed hand.

 She pulled hard and instantly pulled the claw out of the mayor's body.

 Then, surprise crossed her face.

 She pulled the clawed hand out of the mayor's body, and it was just a hand, nothing else.

 All she pulled out was a severed hand.

 Just when Xia He was puzzled, another hand suddenly burst out from the broken hand, still a sharp claw.

 It shot out from his arm, as fast as a bullet, and went straight into Xia He's chest.

 "Kacha!"

 The sound of bones breaking erupted, it was the bones of the claws breaking.

 The claw's fingers did not touch Xia He's body. When they were about a finger's width away from Xia He's body, they suddenly twisted, and the sharp fingertips were instantly twisted into a pretzel. The twist spread at an extremely fast speed, starting from the claw's fingertips and spreading to the whole body of the claw.

 "hiss!"

 A mouth grew in the palm of the claw, and a sharp hissing sound erupted. Countless claws burst out from the arms, and the arms regenerated arms, just like countless branches bursting out from a tree trunk.

 All the sharp claws bombarded Xia He's body.

 It tears through the air, making a blast of air-cutting sound, and its speed is as fast as an afterimage.

 Sharp claws came bombarding, but they all stopped only a finger's width away from Xia He's body, and then began to twist from the fingertips in an instant, as if there was an extremely dangerous barrier there.

 In just a few blinks of an eye, in Xia He's hands, the strange claws all turned into twisted rags.

 "broken."

 Xia He threw away the claws in her hand and looked at the mayor.

 Volume 1: Chapter 653 Suddenly

 As far as the eye could see, the mayor's body was empty, with only the skin on the outside and the internal organs left, but no muscles.

 Were all the muscles used to forge this strange hand? Is this a final counterattack?

 Or has someone tampered with his body, so that as long as the mayor tells the secret, this strange claw will suck out his flesh and blood, then grow out from his inside and attack the enemy?

 Confusion appeared on Xia He's face, and she couldn't figure out what was going on.

 "Thank you. If you hadn't blocked it for me in the end, I would have been in trouble."

 Lin Ling bird box Xia He thanked.

 "No need to thank me, we are just helping each other. Your strength is also very important. If it weren't for your strength, I would probably be fooled by the old mayor and would have taken a lot of detours." Xia He said.

 "I didn't buy it, so how did I get here?"

 A voice came from the side, full of confusion. It was Rhett's voice.

 He heard everything the mayor said just now. Before, he believed what the mayor said and thought that he was bought from outside, but now he knows that he was not bought from outside.

 If muscles are not bought, then where do they come from?

 "This is a problem. Maybe people in the Holy Blood Church know about this problem. It is impossible for one person to get so many children. It requires the cooperation of multiple people. This problem does not seem like a secret that can be kept by one person alone." Lin Lingniao said.

 "It's always good to ask, maybe you can find the answer."

 Xia He agreed with what Lin Lingniao said.

 "Rhett, you are my child."

 A voice came from a group of townspeople in the distance, and an old woman walked out of the crowd trembling slightly. She walked quickly towards the direction where Rhett was.

 "I am your son?"

 Rhett looked at the old man walking over with a confused expression?

 This is a woman. Her hair is not completely gray, but has some black in it. She is wearing patched clothes and a gray robe. She doesn't look like she has had a good life. She looks to be around sixty years old.

 The problem was, he didn't know this elderly woman at all.

 The old woman came to Rhett and said, "You are my son. When you were little, the mayor and his men forcibly snatched you away from me and made you an orphan. All the orphans in the church came from this way. They were all snatched away from people."

 The old man's voice trembled, tears welled up in his eyes, and his expression was sincere.

 "Since I am your son, why didn't you save me when I asked you for help just now?"

 Rhett's face was still full of doubt.

 "I don't dare to stand up. I'm just an ordinary old man with little power. If I stand up, I will definitely be suppressed by the Holy Blood Church and the mayor. I might even lose my life. I'm afraid."

 Tears fell from the old man's eyes and his face was full of guilt.

 She continued, "I know, but I'm just saying it. You won't believe me. This kind of thing requires evidence, and I have it. You should have an amulet on your body. It's a triangular piece of metal with the word Lei Te engraved on it. This is the amulet I gave you. It has been hanging around your neck since you were born."

 "You are truly mine

 Mother?"

 There was some belief on Rhett's face.

 He did have such an amulet on him, and the word "Rhett" was written on the amulet, so his name was Rhett.

 Although he had shown this amulet to others, it was only seen by people in the church. He had never seen the person in front of him, and he definitely had never seen his amulet.

 However, the person in front of her described his amulet. She could not only describe the shape of the amulet, but also the words inside. If this person did not put the amulet on himself personally, how could she know so many details about the amulet?

 "Is what she said true?"

 Xia He looked at Lin Lingniao.

 “It feels like it’s real.”

 Lin Lingniao looked doubtful, somewhat unsure, and his words were vague.

 "What do you mean by it feels real? Can't you tell the difference between truth and lies?" Xia He said.

 "I can judge the truth and lies to a certain extent, but the standard of judgment is based on the feelings in people's hearts. If what this person says matches the feelings in his heart, then it is very likely to be true. If they don't match, then it is a lie. At the moment, what this old woman said matches the feelings in her heart." Lin Lingniao said.

 "Isn't that the truth?" Xia He said.

 "Judging from the ability, it is true."

 Lin Lingniao turned his gaze towards Xia He and said, "But don't you think this happened too quickly? It feels like a script. In reality, such dramatic events don't usually happen. Even if they do, they won't happen continuously like this.

 Reality is a very dull game. When the police investigate a thief, they often can't find him. Even if they do, it takes a lot of time to apprehend him. Even if they do, the victim may not be able to recover the stolen items. It doesn't seem like things will develop like this."

 "Although it sounds like trivial matters and nitpicking, like finding fault, it seems to make some sense," Xia He said.

 "You're really rude."

 Lin Lingniao felt like cursing, but she didn't and maintained her good manners.

 In school, she is an excellent student, comes from a well-off family, and is a well-educated person.

 She said, "Are you lying? I might find out by using my ability."

 After she finished speaking, she looked at the old man who had suddenly come up to her and asked, "Are all the things you just said true?"

 The power was transmitted through the sound, entered the old man's mind, and began to affect the old man's mind.

 At once the old man felt that he must not deceive such a polite and lovely girl.

 She didn't know where this feeling came from, but it just came to her all of a sudden. She nodded and said, "Of course I'm telling the truth. There's no lie at all."

 Hearing what the old man said, Lin Lingniao's face showed surprise, and she said, "It's really true."

 "So, she is really my mother and I am not an orphan?"

 The emotion on Rhett's face was more confusion and bewilderment.

 He has been an orphan for so many years, so it is natural that he would be confused and bewildered when a mother suddenly appears.

 Lin Lingniao said, "The result of my ability assessment is that she did not lie."

 "I really am your mother," said the old man.

 She looked at Lily and said, "I also know who this little girl's parents are."

 "really?"

 Surprise appeared on Rhett's face.

 Volume 1: Chapter 654: Inside the Church

 If Lily's parents were found, it would undoubtedly be a very good thing for Lily.

 "Of course it's true. Lily's parents are Lisa and her husband who live on Blackstone Street. You'll know when you go there. She will definitely welcome you." said the old woman.

 Lin Lingniao asked, "Do you know what Bishop Wuer meant by blessings and health and longevity?"

 "I don't know about these. These things are done by the mayor and the church. They can't benefit us lower-class people. They can only be enjoyed by certain people." said the old woman.

 "Who is the specific person?" Lin Lingniao asked.

 "For example, church members, the mayor and his relatives, the rich people in the town, etc." said the old woman.

 "Who are the rich people?" Lin Lingniao asked.

 The old woman's face showed an embarrassment. She said, "Although I have seen those wealthy people, I don't know their names. I just noticed that every time the church held an event, there were many well-dressed people who showed up to support it. Those people were like the mayor, with white hair and youthful looks. You might go to the church and see what they are like."

 When Lin Lingniao heard this, a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

 She thought for a moment, then looked at Xia He and said, "I'm planning to go to the church next. What are your plans?"

 "You go to church, and I'll go to the mayor's office. I'm taking this opportunity to restore order in this town." Xia He

 Road.

 "Okay, after we're done, we'll meet at the church."

 After Lin Lingniao finished speaking, he stepped into the shadows and returned to where Xiao Yi was.
