How to survive in a soul-based game with full female mods

"...I see. Thank goodness she's finally been freed. It's truly, truly wonderful."

Stella's eyes flushed red. It seemed difficult to control the emotions that surged in her heart. She gently wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, took a deep breath, and walked in front of Lin Yinxi.

Then she bowed deeply to him.

"I sincerely thank you for your kindness. I, Stella, swear in the name of the Inquisitor of the Holy Kingdom of Raphael that I will never forget the kindness I received from you."

Lin Yinxi smiled softly and used a smile instead of answering.

He had heard similar lines in the game and knew there was no need to respond with words here.

After the relic was delivered, Stella carefully tied the Holy Catalyst around her waist and left with her battle nuns.

Lin Yinxi looked back at Selene beside him. Although she looked a little surprised, her expression did not show any big change.

As for the other side...

"Alice, are you okay?"

"......"

"Alice?"

"...Ah. Sorry, I'm a little confused. What's going on here?"

After calling Alice twice, she finally woke up in a panic. It seemed that what had just happened was too unexpected for her.

For unknown reasons, after the Knights Generals arrived in the Holy Kingdom, shocking and unexpected things began to happen one after another.

I don’t know how many times this has happened.

"Would you like to return to your quarters? I have some matters to discuss with the Inquisitor. I'll explain everything to you later, so it shouldn't take long."

"Is it about the runes? After all, they originally belonged to the Holy Kingdom, so if we can explain it peacefully, then let's do it. Then, we'll go back and wait for you."

As soon as the words fell, the Knights Generals took their steps and took action.

Liz waved goodbye to Lin Yinxi, and he responded with an appropriate gesture.

However, they still felt a little pang of conscience because what they were going to do next was not what they had imagined.

Fortunately, at least they all returned. If the Knights Generals were watching, it would be a bit embarrassing.

Even if they weren't ready to leave, he was prepared to force them a little...

"Inquisitor, can you take me to a deserted place? A place where it's just the two of us."

"As you wish, my distinguished guests. You may return as well. Rest a while until I give you the order."

Selene turned her back to the battle sisters and waved her hand to give them orders. The battle sisters lowered their heads and dispersed.

"plz follow me."

Selene took him to the same place as last time, the chapel dedicated to the Moon Pope. It was still empty.

"Are you sure it's just the two of us?"

"Yes. It's sun worship time now, and no one will be here... However, you still look very uneasy. Do you want to set up a barrier to prevent anyone from entering?"

After receiving his confirmation, Selene's Holy Catalyst emitted a dim light. Then, a silver-gray halo appeared outside the window, enveloping the entire building.

"As you wish, to break through the barrier surrounding the chapel, the Inquisitor or His Holiness the Pope must come in person."

"Well, thank you, Inquisitor."

Lin Yinxi took a deep breath.

It was still unknown how Selene would react to his plan, but even so, he believed the chances of success were still very high.

This confidence comes from his intuition.

"But... honored guest, why do you take my explanation of the rune's effects so seriously?"

Selene expressed her doubts.

Well, it's really an overreaction to even require setting up enchantments on buildings just to explain the rune thing.

"No, I'm not talking about runes."

"Yes...? What...?"

"What I want to talk about is other things."

He blurted out those words before Selene's confusion faded.

"For example, the person who was sacrificed was actually the Moon Pope."

--boom!

Before Lin Yinxi could finish his words, his vision began to spin rapidly, his body flew into the air, and then slammed heavily into the wall of the church.

A huge impact spread from the wall behind me.

At this moment, the first thing he thought of was not the impact on his back, but he was glad that his behavior was not regarded as malicious.

He felt the cool touch of Selene's fingers on his neck. If it was taken as malicious intent, he would have died here long ago.

"Where did you hear that?"

Selene pinned him to the church wall in one fell swoop, unleashing an unprecedented killing intent.

Her bloody eyes stared at him intently. In those cold purple eyes, he could feel a tremendous pressure. The hand that was grabbing his neck at this moment seemed to be about to break his cervical vertebrae.

“I’m asking you! Where! Who did you hear it from?!”

104. Sacrifice

At this point Selene finally roared.

The way she usually behaved in front of others was even more rude than Alice's. This was the first time he saw her get so angry and raise her voice.

If the DLC plot in the original game was followed, such a development would not have occurred.

However, after hearing what the Pope said in the cathedral, he decided to skip the useless intermediate steps and go directly to the final boss.

Since the plot has been distorted from the beginning, why can't I distort it myself?

"..."

"If you don't want to answer, then don't force me to make you reveal everything!"

Selene leaned her head closer.

Their bodies naturally fit together, and her thighs wrapped in a tights suddenly slipped into Lin Yinxi's crotch, allowing people to clearly feel the silky texture of the tights.

A rapier suddenly appeared in Selene's right hand. The sharp blade touched his jaw, as if it would kill him if he wasn't careful.

Her left hand tightly strangled Lin Yinxi's neck. Although the strength in her hand was enough to clamp him, it did not strangle him to the point of suffocation or causing him to feel much pain.

He is worthy of the name of the heretic "Inquisitor", and his power control is truly wonderful.

So far, all these developments have been as he expected.

After all, he had just touched the heart of her closest friend, His Holiness the Pope, and in the heart of this Inquisitor, His Holiness the Pope was undoubtedly the one closest to her faith itself.

The Inquisitor, who seemed to be angered, did not kill him immediately, nor did he suffer much harm. It seemed that she was already quite tolerant of him.

"Of course I will answer. But how about you let go first?"

“Why should I let go?”

"...Okay, I get it. Let's just keep it like that. Where should I even begin?"

"all!"

A cold voice escaped her lips.

"Tell me everything you know, everything, without leaving out a single word! Otherwise—"

The sharp rapier in her hand emitted a faint silver-white light.

The tip of the sword lightly touched Lin Yinxi's chin, allowing him to feel the cold moonlight.

Just as the sun's sacred power contained warmth, the moon's sacred power also contained an icy chill. That chill spread to his cheeks along with the moonlight.

"I'll show you the lowest level of the Inquisition.

There you'll have no choice but to spill everything you know and everything you don't know. And then you'll never see the sky again, so you'd better choose your answers carefully."

"I will."

Lin Yinxi answered obediently.

After all, his goal is to persuade Selene to skip all the intermediate plots of the DLC and then directly face the final boss of the DLC.

There is absolutely no reason to start a fight here for no reason.

"You know that when I and the other Knight Commanders were paying homage to His Majesty the Sun Pope, the Moon Pope himself came there, right?"

"As long as it's something going on within the Holy Kingdom, there's nothing we don't know. From the moment the Moon Pope descended upon the Sun Cathedral, we've been keeping an eye on what's happening inside."

"So, you also saw the Moon Pope's use of violence against the Sun Pope, right?"

"I saw it all. But that was what His Holiness the Pope did. His Holiness the Pope's thoughts are not something I can judge casually. Are you looking for trouble with me over this?"

"What I want to talk about is not the incident itself, but why it happened."

"..."

Selene frowned.

From the Inquisitor's perspective, revealing what happened that day was embarrassing in itself. After all, it was a conflict between two popes, so it was understandable that she would react in this way.

The Moon Pope's violence against the Sun Pope was unprecedented, and this scandal was discovered by people from the Empire, especially those who held the position of Knights of the Silver Dawn.

She should have tried her best to make him forget it, but now he kept bringing it up. Selene's frown couldn't help but deepen.

"Fate cannot be changed. And the Sun Pope said he would never abandon His Holiness the Moon Pope. As an Inquisitor, don't you have some suspicions?"

“Don’t try to evade me with vague words, and don’t try to question me back.

All you have to do is tell me honestly everything you know.

Do you really think I would fall for your shallow tricks and be fooled by your little tricks and lose my mind?"

Selene's grip on Lin Yinxi's neck tightened a bit, but not to the point where he couldn't answer or suffocate from breathing difficulties. It simply increased the restraint on his neck.

"The conclusion is this. The Moon Pope considers the efforts made by the Sun Pope to be meaningless. Even if this effort is for herself."

"..."

This kind of thing is something that can be inferred by just witnessing everything that happened in the cathedral and thinking about it for a while, so Selene just frowned and didn't make too many rebuttals.

In fact, he was also very confused as to why the Moon Pope would act so blatantly when all the Knights were still in front of the Sun Pope.

She could have met privately with the Sun Pope after everyone left.

If it was an emergency, it would be understandable, but no matter how you looked at it, whether in expression or action, the Moon Pope didn't show any sign of anxiety. This question still lingered in his mind.

After defeating the boss, I'll go ask her in person...

"Then there is only one core question left. What actions did the Sun Pope take on behalf of His Holiness the Moon Pope?"

"..."

"This question is no different from giving a direct answer. Because she once said that no matter what happens, she will 'never give up' on the Moon Pope.

That's why the relationship between them has become so awkward that it even requires such absolute expressions.

Because if she doesn’t, she might lose her and never see her again.”

"......"

Selene remained silent. Either he had hit the nail on the head, or she was deep in thought, mulling over something. One of the two must be true.

In fact, when he and the Knights witnessed the entire process of the conflict between the two popes in the Sun Pope's church that day, he was thinking,

Why did something like that happen between the two popes? This is not a hidden plot in the game.
