"This is one of the blasphemous hymns to the Mother Goddess."
Click——
Charles aimed at his own temple and pulled the trigger, causing the revolver to spin.
"On the contrary, Tian Gang said we were heretics. This is the second reason."
Click——
"Third, despite the advice of his own family, he still refused to mend his ways and betrayed his family."
Click——
The silver revolver in Charles's hand began to emit a faint blue light.
Charles listed the false evidence one by one, which sounded absurd, but from the perspective of the Holy Advent Society, every word was precious.
At least Kitty, who was standing next to them, enjoyed it.
It was not until Charles read out the fifth charge that thunderclouds began to swirl around the cylinder of the revolver in her hand.
"I find you guilty, Julis."
Charles slowly raised his gun, pointed it at Julis, and asked, "Do you admit your guilt?"
Feeling the lightning in front of her that made her hair stand on end, Julis had already lost all hope.
She no longer cared about what the person in front of her said. She simply said calmly, "I am guilty... Kill me."
As soon as he died, the Savior Goddess Church would thoroughly investigate the city of Burren... This was also the most likely way to save his sister.
If I don't die but am brainwashed into becoming a cultist, then there will be no hope at all.
Ciel paused for a moment, then thought for a moment before asking, "Archpriest Julis, have I completed the heresy judgment process in the Inquisitor potion?"
For a moment, the whole room fell into deathly silence.
Julis: "?"
Kitty: "?"
"Your Excellency, what are you kidding?"
Boom——!
Charles raised his hand and pointed the gun in Kitty's direction. The bullet roared, flashing with lightning and sparks like a thunder dragon and directly hit Kitty's head.
Kitty, who had been fighting with Julis until she was exhausted, only had time to turn her face to the side before the bullet shattered half of her face.
Kitty's strong desire to survive prevented her from even uttering a cry. She stepped back repeatedly and bumped into the wooden door behind her. The moment she pushed the door open, she staggered out of the passage and ran towards the private prayer room at the end of the corridor.
That bishop...something's wrong!
She must... survive... and pass on the message... to the next bishop...
That private prayer room was once Kitty's exclusive prayer room. There was a special legacy information formation in it. As long as she left her blood in the formation, people from the Holy Society would be able to directly see all the scenes she saw during her lifetime through the formation!
"Adele, send her to see the Mother Goddess."
Ciel looked in Adele's direction and said softly, "Priest Kitty betrayed the Advent Society. I am the Bishop... You should know who to trust."
Becoming a member of a cult didn't seem to make Adele much smarter. After thinking about it for a moment, she nodded and chased after him.
When Adele ran to the end of the corridor, she saw Kitty kneeling in front of the door of the private prayer room, her face full of incredible despair and fear.
In front of her was a mountain of corpses, and the red carpet beneath her feet was completely soaked with blood. Every time she stepped on it, she could feel the sticky blood being squeezed out of the soaked wool carpet, making a "sizzling" sound.
What lies before our eyes is hell on earth.
She heard the rustling sound of footsteps. Kitty swayed and turned to look. She saw Adele rushing towards her with a forearm-long black and silver hook in her hand.
That was the torture device she used on Adele.
No... that bishop is a traitor! She is the traitor! Impossible! You can't possibly be hostile to me! Impossible!
Kitty's vision began to blur and her thinking became sluggish. She could not shout out what she was thinking. She could only watch as the silver-haired girl who had endured her torturing the fish before stabbed her throat with the silver hook that had turned black due to oxidation and was still sticky with coagulated blood.
laugh--
Meanwhile, inside the cell, Julis's mind was in a trance. She turned towards the direction the girl was speaking in confusion and asked:
"What...are you...?"
What exactly happened?
Internal strife within the cult?
"You might not believe it."
Charles put the pistol back, looked at the high priest in front of him, and said:
"I'm here to help you."
"You know if I'm telling a lie, High Priest Julis."

Chapter 71 The real bishop has arrived.
Who is this bishop...?
Why would she suddenly turn against us at this moment?
And...why did she come to ask me about the promotion to Judge?
He acted like he was very familiar with me, as if he had met me many times.
Have you met her somewhere before?
Julis's brain was working rapidly, thinking about the problems in her mind.
But she also knew that her thinking would not have any impact on the outcome of the matter. No matter how she thought about it, it could not change the fact that she was powerless to fight back against the bishop.
"You...really didn't lie."
After hesitating for a moment, Julis said, "Have we met before?"
"Yes, in my dream."
Ciel replied, "You've helped me a lot."
In a dream?
Helped her a lot?
At this point, Julis completely gave up thinking.
She also discovered that she couldn't tell the other person's emotions at all, because in Julis's perception, the other person had never lied.
So what is the situation now?
The other party said she wanted to help me...can I believe her?
"High Priest Julis, did I just complete the 'Inquisitor' ritual? The ritual you wrote is a bit abstract. How do you determine if you're a 'heretic'?"
Charles only had more than two hours left to stay, so she asked directly, hoping to get more information within the limited time.
When Charles had been in contact with Julis before, Julis had basically always been in a high position. Charles could only try his best to gain her trust, or disguise himself as a "saint" to gain their support.
But now, the situation has reversed, and Charles has become the "high-ranking person" they need help from, controlling their life and death.
In this situation, Charles hopes to obtain more information, whether it is from the Church of the Savior Goddess or the Holy Advent Society.
At this time, Charles' words also gave Julis some hints.
The ceremony we give?
Generally speaking, the Savior Cult will not pass on potions and rituals to outsiders, especially within the Inquisition, and it is unlikely that the potion rituals of the "Avenger" path will be passed on.
Because this is a path that goes against most of the teachings of the Savior Goddess Church, a path that stops killing by killing.
So when the Bishop of the Holy Advent Society in front of her said that it was the way provided by the Savior Goddess Church, a person immediately emerged in Julis's mind.
Avina.
Recently, she was the only one who, relying on information about an extremely dangerous sealed object, exchanged a set of potions and rituals from the Church of the Savior Goddess.
The seal is buried under the Bell Tower Church. Once it explodes, it will cause an extremely severe blow to the overall image and trust of the Savior Goddess Church, and the situation they have been operating in the city of Burren for many years may be destroyed.
Those believers are not fanatical, and the Savior Goddess Church will not use any method to restrain the believers. Once a crisis of trust occurs, they may change their beliefs without hesitation and turn to other "safer" Orthodox religions.
With this important information, Avina obtained the potion and ritual, but it was obvious that now the ritual fell on the shoulders of the cult bishop in front of her.
"You should be familiar with how the Inquisition works,"
Julis spoke cautiously, "For the people of the Inquisition, as long as they search for you everywhere, whether it's killing or judging you, it will be considered part of the reappearance ritual."
Tribunal?
I can't come!
Charles felt very tired, but he couldn't show it, so he could only pretend to understand and nodded.
"The Inquisition is a double-edged sword for the Church,"
Julis raised her head, facing Ciel, and spoke, "Because the definition of 'inquisition' isn't limited to 'heresy,' it's easy for 'inquisitors' to go to extremes."
"Especially since the Judges are all promoted from already extreme Avengers, each of them is like an uncontrollable individual. This situation is almost unsolvable before they are promoted to the third level."
"Sinners, traitors, killers, and the like may become subjects of trial."
Hearing this, Charles seemed to understand a little.
The "Avenger" path is not unique to the church, and the word "judgment" on this path is not exclusive to the church. It does not only judge heretics.
"It's said concretely,"
Ciel asked doubtfully, "What about the abstract ones?"
When she asked, Ciel actually had some idea of the answer in her mind, she just wanted to get Julis's confirmation.
"My understanding is 'belief'."
After a brief pause, Julis said, "Whether it's the 'Ascetic' or the opposite 'Avenger', the inner driving force behind their re-enactment of the ritual is 'faith.'"
Charles nodded slightly.
Abstract indeed.
But Charles could understand a little.
Because she had been an 'Avenger' before, she knew the mumbling in the 'Avenger's' mind, the rage in his heart, and the confusion in his heart when he had just completed his revenge.
She can use the simplest metaphor.
For example, when a person, after experiencing suffering or the pain of his family being murdered, completes revenge and becomes an "Avenger", the ritual is completed and the revenge is over, but the belief in hatred still remains.
If this person joins the church, she may incorporate revenge and hatred into the doctrine, and begin to kill pagans at all costs, and eliminate any heretics who blaspheme the doctrine within the church.
But if this person had not joined the church, she would most likely take the same type of people as the targets of revenge - the criminals who killed her family - as her targets, thereby keeping the fire of hatred in her heart burning and turning revenge into belief.
For example, if Rorschach, a DC superhero that Charles had seen in his previous life, were asked to drink the "Avengers" and "Judge" potions, he would probably melt in his mouth.
Ciel also understood why the Church of the Goddess of Savior strictly controlled the "Avenger" path potion.
It can create an angel who hates evil, or it can become a demon with extreme thoughts under the influence of the potion.
belief……
Charles thought of the "Glory Bishop" named Xiu.
In the third stage of acting, she tried her best to portray herself as a symbol of the church, acting without joy or sorrow and relying entirely on doctrine. This is the embodiment of faith under the norms of the church.
Charles felt that she had some new understanding of the third level of these two paths, and she could more or less feel some of her own beliefs.
In the initial revenge, Charles just wanted to live a peaceful life, and her sister was also included in her idea of a peaceful life.
Thomas and Solari's plan broke this peace and brought about revenge. Anyone else who wanted to disrupt Charles' peaceful life could be regarded as a heretic in the eyes of "Avenger" Charles.
And the second-level Kitty who was about to destroy Charles' peaceful life was obviously the one he wanted to judge.
To be on the safe side, as long as he can use the "Avengers" save file to judge Kitty and kill her again in the next simulation, Charles will most likely be able to complete all the reappearance rituals of the "Judge" - because Charles has already killed the other cultists once.
Julis hadn't spoken a word to interrupt Charles's thoughts, but at that moment, there was a knock at the door.
