The painful mumblings in Ciel's mind slowly dissipated, making her feel a little more relaxed.

She came to the stable and saw a carriage parked on the side and a skinny horse tied inside the stable and sleeping.

A new problem was placed before Charles.

She didn't know how to ride a horse, nor did she know how to "assemble" the horse and carriage together.

And... who knows if the horse will suddenly go crazy and rush Charles into the ditch while the carriage is speeding.

After thinking for a while, Charles came up with a perfect solution.

She returned to the hotel, opened the door, and woke up her sister who was still sleeping.

After telling her sister that they had to go back as soon as possible, Lizzie didn't ask Charles why. She just took her things and went downstairs in a daze and got into the carriage with Charles.

Inside the carriage, Charles drew all the curtains, and Lizzie, who was woken up in the middle of her sleep, leaned her head against the curtains and soon fell asleep again.

A black shadow emerged from the shadow under the carriage. After looking at each other, the shadows walked towards the sleeping skinny horses nearby, threw the chain in their hands, and inserted it into the shadows of the skinny horses.

Almost instantly, the horses fell into death, and its shadow was torn away from its body by the burning chains.

The shadow horses burning with black flames were tied to the front of the carriage with black chains. The black shadows pulled the chains and sat in the driver's seat, controlling the skinny horses, turning around little by little, running out of the town, and running along the railway towards the city of Burren.

Late at night, a terrifying carriage without a horse pulling it rushed directly into the city of Burren in the cover of darkness.

Some drunkards who had not returned home late at night also saw this scene, but after a brief moment of panic, they thought it was just their drunken fantasy and did not think about it too much.

Charles sent Lizzie back home. After telling Lizzie that he had to go out to report the accident, he left Lizzie behind and drove the carriage towards Creek Mountain outside the city.

The locations of the others were uncertain, but the location of Lucy, the specialist of the Deton Group, was mentioned in the notebook.

The notes said that she had been staying at Deton Manor outside the city for almost the entire time conducting investigations, and apart from that dinner, she had not even entered the city.

But her path is that of a third-level "Destined One", which is related to luck. Charles's perception tells her that this person is highly suspicious.

Charles' carriage slowly stopped at the gate of Deton Manor, which was now completely surrounded by a blockade.

A Deton Group employee standing guard outside the door, wearing a green chip mask, came forward, bowed respectfully in the direction of the carriage, and said, "Deton Manor is still under renovation. May I ask who you are..."

A carriage without horses pulling it rushed to the gate of Deton Manor. It was undoubtedly a supernatural being.

Although the Green Chip employee himself is not a superhuman, he has received similar training, which allows him to maintain a respectful attitude when witnessing these scenes.

"Where's Commissioner Lucy?"

After Ciel got out of the car, he said bluntly, "I need to see her."

"Commissioner Lucy? She's in the underground cult temple. May I ask who you are..."

The employee spoke cautiously, wanting to confirm Ciel's identity.

At this time, Charles's "Judge" was saved, and she was still wearing the clothes that Yulis had specially prepared for her.

So, without further hesitation, Charles said, "The Inquisition is here to investigate the Holy Advent Church."

At this time, the green chip employee finally saw the girl's savior dress clearly through the faint moonlight. He quickly gave up his seat and said, "Do you need me to take you there?"

"No need."

Charles shook his head and walked directly into the manor.

This green chip doesn't look familiar, as if it came from headquarters with the commissioner.

Regarding the structure and secret passages of Deton Manor, Charles might be more familiar with it than he was.

Charles walked to the gate of the manor, and Green Chip followed Charles not far away, remaining respectful.

Just as Charles stepped into the manor, bursts of loud noises rang out.

Rumbling--

The huge vibration was heard several miles away, and the vibration made Charles think that there was an earthquake or explosion.

Ciel turned to look at the source of the vibration.

"That direction is..."

Charles ran quickly to the left. At this time, some members of different forces who were exploring the hall also ran quickly towards the side corridor after hearing the noise.

Charles took the lead and kicked open the door of the chess and card room.

This is the source of the vibration and sound, the previous ritual site, above the dome of the underground temple.

But at this time, the dome had completely collapsed, and even the wall next to it was damaged. After the door was opened, there was a huge dark cave that led directly to the underground temple.

"what happens?"

"Landslide?"

"Here! Goddess..."

"OMG……"

Green Chip half-opened his mouth. Suddenly, as if realizing something, he shouted, "Lucy! Commissioner Lucy is still down there!"

"What? Is there anyone else down there?"

"Quick, hurry to the secret passage, it shouldn't have collapsed!"

"Check all the secret passages and prepare to go down and rescue people!"

The crowd became noisy and they walked towards different secret passages.

A dark shadow emerged from the shadows behind Charles and jumped directly into the dark cave.

The next moment, Charles' figure twisted and dissipated, and a black shadow stood in its place, while Charles' real body appeared in the ruins of the underground temple.

The ground was littered with broken stones and the smashed bodies of cultists who had been sacrificed and turned into mummies.

Four black shadows quickly spread out from Charles and began to search. At this time, many extraordinary people holding kerosene lamps and torches had also gone down through the secret passage and began to search for the wounded.

"Here! Commissioner Lucy is here!"

A shout caught Ciel's attention. She quickly walked to the source of the sound, pushed aside the crowd gathered there, and looked at Commissioner Lucy.

A huge rock was pressing down on her lower body. Her head seemed to be smashed, and her forehead was completely deflated.

"vomit……"

A mouthful of blood spurted out of Lucy's mouth.

"What... bad luck... ah..."

A blood-stained gold coin slipped from Lucy's hand and rolled on the ground, revealing the pattern of a knight and a dragon on it.

"Quick, go find the 'doctor'!"

Ciel stood nearby, watching Lucy's breathing grow weaker.

Isn't it her...

Or is it that I am not the only one who has suffered such misfortunes in the city of Burren?

Is there anyone else who has suffered the same misfortune?

PS:

Today's work is not considered paying off the remaining manuscripts, but paying off the 1300 words I owed yesterday. The rewarded chapters will only be paid back tomorrow, because the backend will not be able to accurately count the number of votes and reward blades today until tomorrow.

You guys are really ruthless. You instantly got me number one in daily sales, number one in monthly sales, number one in monthly tickets, number one in new books, number one in blades... straight to number one on all five charts? Even if it only lasts for one day, I've never seen anything like it!

I woke up to find the sky was falling, so I quickly closed the bounty, or I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it off.

Chapter 8000: The Dog-licking Archbishop and the Rusty Faceless Angel (-word chapter)

Charles retreated behind the crowd.

In the previous Judge archive, the potion that was snatched from Adele was not kept on her. She was a "Judge" and not a "missionary", and she had no way to heal the injuries. She could only give up her position and let someone with healing abilities come forward to treat her.

Looking at the "Destined One" Lucy lying on the ground not far away, her body still twitching and bleeding, Charles couldn't help but feel a little confused.

She looked up and around, and saw the altar not far away.

Apart from the boulders and bricks that fell from the collapsed dome, the interior layout of the entire underground temple was almost the same as when Charles first saw it.

There are just some more cordoned-off tape and white cloths used to cover up certain religious symbols and slogans.

She walked around the crowd and followed the darkness to the side corridor. She lit the kerosene lamp in the side corridor and began to check each room one by one.

Cages, libraries, private prayer rooms...

All the sealed diaries in the library have been taken away, and most of the books and scriptures inside have disappeared, probably taken away by the people of the Savior Goddess Church.

Religious items in the private prayer room have been cleared out, and even the statues in the cages have been destroyed.

It has been more than forty days since those forces arrived here...and the investigation has also been going on for more than forty days.

Everything that needs to be investigated has been investigated, and everything that needs to be taken away has been taken away.

Let alone forty days, if so many forces act together, it will probably take less than two weeks to turn the entire Deton Manor upside down.

But why are there still so many people staying here to investigate?

Are they investigating? Or are they waiting?

If the purpose is to sit back and wait for the Holy Sect to arrive, then there are too many people left here, and there are also many ordinary people assisting in the investigation. Wouldn't it be suicide if they stayed here?

Charles walked to one of the secret passages and went up along it.

This secret passage leads to Kitty's office. The stone bricks engraved with scriptures in this secret passage have been smoothed with a file, and there is almost no trace of the existence of the Holy Advent Sect.

She came to the entrance of the secret passage and pulled the switch. With the loud sound of gears turning, some sand and stones above her head fell down. The bookshelf in front of her was being pulled open little by little, but it got stuck after opening a gap.

Have those mechanical instruments been left for too long without maintenance?

Two dark shadows emerged from behind Charles, each grabbed one side of the bookshelf, and used brute force to pull the bookshelf open to create a path for Charles to pass through.

After the bookshelf was opened, Charles saw that Kitty's office was brightly lit. Several young men and women dressed in the uniforms of the Savior Goddess were looking through the books on the bookshelf one by one. After hearing the movement in the secret passage, they all looked in Charles' direction.

The two men may be church waiters who are still performing the resurrection ceremony, and only the woman is an "ascetic".

The "ascetic monk" reacted the fastest. After being stunned for two seconds, he quickly walked to Charles, slowly bent down and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, the Inquisitor."

The other two waiters also reacted and quickly walked to the sides of the "Ascetic Monk": "Your Excellency."

"Ah."

Ciel spoke calmly, nodded slightly, and said, "Thank you for your diligence. Go back to work... You, come with me."

At this time, a black shadow was following behind Charles, and he was still wearing the teaching clothes given by Julis, which frightened the people from the Savior Goddess Cult opposite him.

The "ascetic" followed Charles without any doubt and watched Charles sit in Kitty's office chair.

Charles casually opened the drawer with the broken lock. The space inside that originally contained Kitty's spiritual notes was now empty. Charles looked up at the "ascetic monk" and said:

"I just arrived in Burren City and haven't had time to visit Priest Yulis and Bishop Hugh yet."

"Can you tell me...why did this investigation take so long?"

Charles' tone was calm, but there was uncontrollable anger in his eyes, which made the young "ascetic" woman break out in a cold sweat.

"Please don't blame me, Your Excellency the Inquisitor. We are really trying our best to investigate."

Sweat dripped from the woman's forehead, wetting her hair. She continued nervously, "But we really didn't find much remaining evidence..."

"We asked the Redemptionists to examine every body, but they still couldn't find the body of the cult priest Kitty or the body of another unknown bishop... They..."

"take it easy."

Ciel interrupted the woman and said, "Calm your breathing and recount your investigation."

"Be more careful and clear."

Ciel's tone was obviously calm, and he deliberately slowed down his speech, but unexpectedly, it made the other party feel even more nervous.

Perhaps it was because the Inquisition itself made them nervous, but at least Ciel thought he was very kind.

The woman took a few deep breaths and finally stopped her voice from trembling. She slowly spoke and told Charles everything about the investigation over the past few days.

Because it was the site of the Deton Group, the Savior Goddess Church gathered a team and formed a convoy with the people of the Deton Group and headed to the city of Buren as quickly as possible.

But when they arrived, Deton Manor was deserted, and even many extraordinary items were taken away during the chaos.
