Unlike Avina, Charles, who had already entered the city of Burren, had found the target he was preparing to harm.

……

In front of 132 Cat's Eye Street, Gem District, Burren City.

A red-haired girl stopped at the door of the residential building and knocked on the door.

After knocking on the door, Charles took two steps back, waiting for a response from inside, his thoughts wandering.

If the "rule of doom" that he speculated was true, he had met two third-level people in a row today and stayed in Creek Mountain outside the city for a while.

In this situation, if bad luck still befell him, then he would almost certainly die. The only way to survive was the "Lucky Coin" in his hand.

If it is still locked, you must roll the "Lucky Coin"; if the lock disappears due to archiving, the investigation must continue.

Anyway, I have enough bad luck piled up on me. It's either death or a coin toss. I might as well continue investigating a few more people before the bad luck comes.

The next target that Charles chose was Tara, the archbishop of the Holy Advent sect, who was lurking in the gem district.

She was knowledgeable and might know something, but because the Charles in the simulation still had the task of survival, he did not have much contact with the Archbishop to avoid her being discovered and implicating himself, which would cause deviations in the simulation process.

Moreover, Tara is a member of the Holy Advent sect. Even if misfortune befalls and affects Archbishop Tara of the Holy Advent, Charles will not feel any guilt.

Just think of it as getting rid of harm for the people.

After Charles waited at the door for a while, he soon heard footsteps inside.

But when the footsteps approached the door, they suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, a white shadow suddenly emerged from the gap in the door and headed straight towards Charles.

A black shadow also jumped up from under Charles, holding a burning hand axe, and chopped directly at the white shadow, but the white shadow grabbed the axe handle with his bare hands.

"You heretic bastard... and you've even tracked me down!"

The door was suddenly pushed open, and a petite girl with dark green waist-length curly hair grinned at the uninvited guest at the door, cursing softly.

"Go to hell..."

When she raised her hand and pointed in the direction of Charles, and the three white shadows behind her were about to rush over, with the help of the moonlight, the girl with dark green hair could see the visitor at the door clearly.

That person, although wearing the damned Inquisition's uniform, but...

In front of Charles, the white shadow that caught the axe flashed instantly. The next second, the figure of the girl with dark green hair solidified in front of Charles. She knelt down in front of Charles with a plop and hugged Charles' thighs directly.

"mother……"

Just as the girl was about to shout something, her mouth was quickly blocked by the black shadow. Charles raised his hand, grabbed the collar of the girl's pajamas, and dragged her into the house. The black shadow closed the wooden door.

Charles grabbed the girl like a chicken and put her down in the living room. He looked down at her and said, "Be quiet."

Only after seeing the girl nod did Charles control the black shadow and pull his fist out of her mouth.

Archbishop Tara of the Holy Advent sect has a higher rank than the Bishop of Prague, but he acts in an extremely erratic way and has no idea how to hide himself.

It seemed that she had been doing research in the secret church of the Holy Advent Sect. Whenever she went out, she was followed by a large number of plainclothes guards and had hardly considered any concealment.

Charles had learned before that Archbishop Tara, who looked younger than himself, was actually 36 years old. It was unknown what experience or extraordinary disease had caused her to remain in the appearance of Loli.

At this time, Tara was kneeling on the ground, looking up blankly at Charles' face and the dark shadow behind her. After a while, tears actually flowed down her face.

"Mother Goddess... So you've gone to find your own strength? No wonder you haven't come to visit Tara these days. Mother Goddess, I'm willing to give you everything..."

Tara sobbed and actually knelt down in front of Charles, muttering a prayer that was half-understood.

It's no wonder that Charles in the simulation said in his notebook that he was completely unable to get along with or communicate with Tara. She was a complete, extreme and fanatical cultist.

If it weren't for the behavior of the sealed servant behind Amy towards Charles, Tara might have killed Charles long ago and forcibly abducted Amy back to the secret church of the Holy Advent Sect.

"Shut up."

Tara's mumbling made Charles feel irritated. She interrupted Tara and asked, "I need to ask you something. You just need to answer my questions. You don't need to say anything else."

"Yes, great, respected, all-knowing Mother Goddess."

Tara knelt on the wooden floor, straightened her slender waist, and looked up at Charles devoutly.

Charles was about to ask a direct question, but after hearing Tara's last words "omniscient mother goddess", Charles shut his mouth.

If you really ask questions, no matter how fanatical or devout Tara is, she will probably find some problems of her own.

Although fanaticism and piety can cover up some irrationality, Charles cannot let Tara become suspicious, otherwise he will lose a helper and an intelligence network from within the Holy Advent Sect.

Ciel changed the thread of his question.

"You said that you became the Archbishop through your knowledge and the strength of a 'missionary'?"

Ciel asked, looking at Tara.

"Yes, dear Mother Goddess."

Tara lowered her brows and said, "But compared to your knowledge reserves that are like the vast stars, the knowledge in my mind is only half a grain of sand in the ocean... Thank you, Mother Goddess, for communicating with your humble servant in a language that you can understand. I am grateful..."

"Then let me test you."

Ciel's mind raced as he spoke, "In this galaxy, on this planet, if someone is punished with misfortune for violating the 'rules,' then something must have happened to them."

"He must have violated the teachings of the Holy Advent Sect and disobeyed the grace of the Mother Goddess! That's why he suffered your punishment! Mother Goddess, misfortune will definitely follow him for the rest of his life!"

Tara said firmly.

Charles: "..."

Is this still communicative?

"Do you know what's going on in this city?"

Charles decided to take a detour.

"I know, Mother Goddess,"

Tara spoke slowly, "At Deton Manor, they dedicated themselves gloriously, summoned the divine servants, and awakened some of your memories... Unfortunately, the forces there are so chaotic that we can't hold a funeral for those brothers and sisters and recite eulogies..."

"Do you know the 'Destined One' named Lucy Silfa from the Deton Group?"

Ciel continued to ask.

"Of course, the Mother Goddess, she is our main focus, but we haven't found an opportunity to promote our belief in the Mother Goddess to her."

Tara looked up at Charles and continued:

"But recently, she seems to have run into some trouble. Perhaps we can take this opportunity to help her turn over a new leaf, abandon victory and so-called fate, and embrace faith."

Tara, you seem to know something?

103

Chapter 103: Open the door, courtroom!

"Ah."

Charles didn't ask any questions, but just nodded slightly, indicating Tara to continue.

"Lucy has always had a 'hidden thorn' in her side. She's been acting strangely lately, as if something unusual has happened to her... However, this also led to several believers being discovered while infiltrating, and they were captured by the pagans."

"Just before you arrived, 'Dark Nail' reported that Lucy Silfa had been seriously injured and was probably dying... We can take this opportunity to put her on the right path."

Tara paused for a moment and then said, "If you agree, Dark Nail will take action before dawn."

Are there cultists around Lucy?

Hadn't the Deton Group headquarters in Anzu City already been cleared internally? How had that "hidden spike" managed to evade the search? Or had it been so lucky to have evaded the investigation by accompanying Lucy on field missions?

It seems that Tara can also sense that something is wrong with Lucy, but she doesn't know what exactly happened.

"No rush for now,"

Ciel spoke slowly, "If you want to take action, you must first investigate the source of the misfortune... This is a test for you."

Ciel didn't care whether Lucy would be developed into a cultist in the simulation. She only cared about whether she could know the truth, even if she had to use all means.

"Yes! Mother Goddess!"

Hearing the word "test", Tara took a deep breath, stood up, bowed in the direction of Charles and said, "Your humble servant will go and investigate immediately!"

After saying that, Tara turned around quickly and ran straight outside. Before Charles could speak, she rushed out of the room.

After about ten seconds, the wooden door was slowly pushed open, and Tara slowly moved in: "I'll change my clothes, Mother Goddess..."

Charles had just wanted to remind her that she hadn't changed out of her nightgown.

"I'll come check the results before noon."

Ciel stepped forward, raised his hand and patted Tara's shoulder, and said, "This is the key to regaining my power and memory."

Feeling Charles' encouragement and hearing his words again, Tara felt like she was injected with chicken blood, and even her breathing became heavy.

"I...I promise to complete the mission!!!"

After Tara finished speaking, she rushed upstairs. When she changed her clothes and ran down, Charles was no longer in the room.

The Mother Goddess... has left?

She walked forward step by step to where Charles had just stood, took a deep breath, slowly raised her hands, and put them in front of her body, as if she was hugging the air.

The smell of the Mother Goddess, so warm...

Even the Mother Goddess' words, Her expressions, and Her demeanor make people feel like spring breeze.

Although the characteristics of the Mother Goddess analyzed were very different from what Tara had imagined, it was still acceptable because her power and memory had not been fully recovered.

To be honest, Tara prefers the current form of the Mother Goddess.

After all, the appearance she analyzed and translated from ancient books was really too... sacred and indescribable.

After calming down a little, Tara walked out of the room quickly and walked towards the outside of the city in the night.

……

At this time, Charles was walking on Cat's Eye Street. After opening the system to confirm the remaining time, she ran towards the Gem Avenue, preparing to walk along the Gem Avenue all the way to the Jazz Bridge District and go to Avina's home.

Avina was probably asleep by this time, but Charles had limited time, so he had to sacrifice Avina's sleep time a little.

She wanted to find Nia before the disaster came, and let Nia tell Avina in an open place, and let Avina tell her the residence of Opold from the royal family.

Misfortune may strike suddenly at any time, so she must cherish every second.

The shadow horse had exhausted all its energy and dissipated. Now Charles could only run over by himself. If he let the shadow carry him, the speed would not be much different, but the energy consumption would be very high.

Tara has gone to help him investigate the source of the misfortune. If he can live until twelve o'clock tomorrow, he will probably be able to learn something from Tara.

Having a loyal subordinate can indeed bring a lot of benefits to Charles. At least when he is busy, he can help him investigate some things.

It’s a pity that Tara is not stable, and Charles doesn’t dare to contact her in reality for the time being.

After all, she was not loyal to himself, but to the "Mother Goddess". Before he could confirm whether he could completely control her, Charles would not come into contact with her in reality.

Suddenly, Charles keenly sensed the sound of horse hooves at the end of the street. She slowly slowed down her pace and hid herself in the shadow of the residential building.

Who? Driving a horse-drawn carriage in the middle of the night...

In order to avoid possible encounters with extraordinary people or arouse suspicion, Charles prepared to wait quietly for the carriage to pass, but when she saw the silver-armored warhorse in front of her, Charles was stunned.

Is it Nia's warhorse?

The person sitting in the carriage is most likely Avina.

When the outline of the carriage appeared in Ciel's field of vision, as expected, she saw the silver armor behind the warhorse.

Such a coincidence?

Why not ask now?

At this time, Nia, who was controlling the warhorse, also noticed the extraordinary person hiding in the shadows and staring at her, but Nia did not make any move and just planned to pass by.

Why are the Inquisition members...showing up in the Gem District? Haven't all the cultists' properties here been confiscated?

Nia whipped the horse to speed up. At this time, inside the carriage, from the shadow where Avina was sitting, an arm burning with black flames emerged.

Inside the carriage, Avina, sitting on the soft cushion, was staring blankly out the window, her eyes unfocused, and it was unknown where she was looking.

She didn't even notice that a dark shadow had slowly emerged from her shadow and sat next to her.

when--

Suddenly, the carriage came to a sudden stop in the middle of the road.
