Chapter 1161: Joining Forces (Riding a Bike Is Exhausting)

"call……………"

The sound of howling cold wind could be heard outside the window, but inside the cabin, it was extremely quiet.

Perhaps because she was also a woman, Sharon didn't pay too much attention to Duanmuhuai. At the moment, she had completely taken off the nun's uniform and put it in front of the stove to dry. She was only wearing white lace underwear and pure white suspenders - is it really okay for a nun to dress like this?

Although Duanmu Huai just silently praised this, after all, a beautiful blonde with blue eyes and a good figure dressed like this can naturally be a feast for the eyes. Unfortunately, he is now a clone and can't do anything.

Let's read a book. I only read half of this ancient book on the way here. There is no signal on mobile phones in the deep mountains and old forests. Apart from complaining about the poor infrastructure in this place, I can only read the book.

However, the more I looked through Duanmuhuai, the more I felt that this was completely opposite to the direction of my investigation. This ancient book is more like this country's Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, recording some strange ancient supernatural stories. Of course, the story of the witch is also written, and there is even a description of how to make a contract with the witch and let her serve you... It is naturally not easy to achieve this.

As proof of the contract, the consideration to be paid must be specified, must be agreed upon by both parties, and a name must be given to it. You can choose the price you pay, such as soul, memory, lifespan, five senses, etc. Of course, the higher the price you pay, the stronger the power the other party can use...

Well, as an ancient book, it is quite interesting, but Duanmu Huai feels that it is not the same thing as the witch he is investigating.

At least the witch I saw in the factory shouldn't have signed a contract with anyone... Probably not, right?

To be honest, considering the suspicious white animal, Duanmuhuai was not sure. After all, Editor Tengchuan also said something about the Witch's Kiss. ​​Was that a curse? Or a contract? If we talk about driving a witch at the cost of other people's lives, at least in this book, it doesn't seem impossible?

"I said………"

Just when Duanmuhuai was staring at the ancient book in front of him and thinking deeply, suddenly, Sharon's voice sounded.

"Why are you here? Judging from your attire, you probably aren't here for mountain climbing or hunting."

"The same goes for Miss Sharon, why are you here?"

Duanmu Huai is not the kind of person who is trapped in a passive posture. To be honest, Duanmu Huai also knows that he looks suspicious. But on the other hand, Sharon's appearance is equally questionable.

Two people dressed suspiciously get together...well, it will indeed only double the suspicion index.

However, Sharon answered Duanmuhuai's inquiry very neatly.

"I am a nun who belongs to the Star Church."

"Star Church?"

"Yes, we are a religious organization that advocates love all over the world. We love everyone equally and bring God's mercy to everyone - this is our creed."

"Hey...there is such an organization."

Duanmuhuai was not surprised by Sharon's answer. As an inquisitor, he had seen many weird religious organizations, but not this one.

"Then why did Miss Sharon come here? There is no one here, right?"

If he were to preach, would he go a little further?

"Of course, I am not here to spread love and compassion to the world, but to protect the world from the threat of evil."

"………………"

I have a premonition that I can't say is good or bad.

"Actually, according to our investigation, a powerful and evil demon is sealed here, and this time I came here to completely eliminate it under the orders of the church!"

So that’s it, we are colleagues.

After saying this, Sharon closed her mouth and stared at Duanmuhuai, obviously with a "it's your turn" look.

Well, okay, actually there is nothing special to hide.

"My name is Duanmu Ai... My purpose of coming here is actually similar to Miss Sharon."

"About the same as me?"

"Yes, I belong to the Tribunal and am the Grand Judge of the Tribunal. I am here because I want to investigate the incident called the Witch. There are records of this in ancient books, so I am here. ”

"Inquisition?"

I have to say that Sharon showed a somewhat surprised expression when she heard Duanmuhuai's answer.

"Sorry, I've never heard of this organization."

"This is normal. The Tribunal has only one duty, which is to protect humanity at all costs and to eliminate all existence that threatens humanity... Therefore, we will not appear in front of the public."

"I see."

Hearing this, Sharon's expression became much more relaxed.

"So, can we be considered companions?"

"For now... After all, I came here just to investigate the situation about the witch. As for what kind of existence the witch is, I still know nothing about it. Of course, if it is determined that the other party is a threat to mankind, existence, then as a judge, I will of course choose to purify it."

"Then, it seems that our purpose is the same."

To be honest, Duanmu Huai's answer was completely unfounded, but Sharon seemed to be able to understand Duanmu Huai's meaning - how should I put it, it seems that because everyone is doing this, they can feel each other's sincerity from it.

"If possible, could you tell me about the Inquisition?"

"Of course no problem."

Just as Duanmu Huai started chatting with Sharon, in the DA cafeteria late at night, Qianshu was looking at the dinner in front of her with an embarrassed face.

"Wow... To be honest, I haven't eaten in DA's cafeteria for a long time, but the taste is still the same, especially this boiled lettuce..."

"I think DA's chefs are great."

Unlike Qianshu who showed a picky attitude, Yutong Lingno ate the food in front of her very calmly.

"Then Miss Qianshu, do you have anything to add about the Tribunal?"

"Even if you want me to add, I only heard about the Tribunal from Xiao Ai."

"An organization that protects humans at all costs and eliminates all threats to human existence... To be honest, I can't imagine the existence of such an organization..."

"Well... Ah, come to think of it."

As if to change the subject, or perhaps it was a sudden thought, Qianshu's eyes lit up.

"I heard Xiao Ai talk about a rule of the Tribunal, which I found quite interesting, that is, the criteria for the Tribunal to determine whether a person is a human being."

"Criteria for determining whether a person is a human being?"

Hearing Qian Shu's answer, Yu Tong Ling's eyes lit up.

"Yes, according to Xiao Ai, the Tribunal has only one criterion for determining whether a person is a human being..."

While speaking, Qian Shu raised his hand, made a pistol gesture, and pointed at his head.

"It's the skull."

"……………Skull? What's the explanation?"

"Well………I remember Xiao Ai said that in the universe, the human skull is a symbol of purity and holiness. Therefore, even if a person's whole body is completely transformed into a robot, as long as his skull is still human, the Inquisition will treat him as a human. But on the other hand, as long as the skull is not human, it is an alien to the Inquisition. No matter good or bad, it is an object that needs to be completely eliminated."

"This is really a simple and rough standard."

After listening to Qianzhu's story, Yutong Ling's expression was a little complicated, and Qianzhu was also familiar with this expression. After all, when she heard Duanmu Huai say it, her expression was probably similar to Yutong Ling's.

After all, as an avid movie fan, Qianzhu has also seen many movies. Of course, many movies also discuss what is a "human".

Some from the way of thinking, some from the experience of feelings, and some from the soul... However, compared with these ambiguous methods, the judgment of the Inquisition is simple and rough. If your skull is human, you have a chance to live. If your skull is not human, then die, no exceptions.

To be honest, this standard really scared Qianshu.

That is, the white animal ran fast. If it ran a little slower, according to the standard of the Tribunal, after Duanmu Huai killed the witch, he would be the next one to deal with it.

"But... it's based on the universe? Such an organization is really rare."

When she first heard about the Tribunal, Xitong Lingno thought it was some kind of religious organization, but she didn't expect that the scale of the other party was so high, not even limited to a planet, but directly based on the entire universe... Could it be that if there were aliens, if the aliens didn't meet the standards of the Tribunal, would the Tribunal take action against them?

No, this is too exaggerated.

Thinking of this, Xitong Lingno shook her head. Most likely, this is just a religious creed and shouldn't be taken too seriously. After all, it's too exaggerated to eliminate aliens.

Although Xitong Lingno didn't take it too seriously, it doesn't mean that other people do the same, for example...

"I see."

After listening to Duanmu Huai's introduction, Sharon nodded thoughtfully.

"The skull represents the purity and sanctity of human beings... It is indeed a very special angle. We have never thought about it from this angle before. But if you think about it carefully, it does make sense..."

As she spoke, Sharon stared at Duanmu Huai.

"So, Miss Duanmu, according to you, will the skulls of those possessed by demons be recognized as long as they are human?"

"It depends on whether they pose a threat to humans. If they do pose a threat, they must be purified."

Duanmu Huai also learned from Sharon that this world calls those who make deals with the subspace demons to gain power as demon possessed. Of course, from the perspective of the Tribunal, this statement is a bit imprecise... But it is harmless.

Although the two came from different forces, they had a very pleasant night. After all, there was no substantial interest dispute between the Xingtian Church and the Tribunal, and the Tribunal did not preach, so soon, Duanmu Huai and Sharon agreed to work together the next day to find the witch who was sealed in the legend.

It must be said that there is indeed strength in numbers. Although Duanmu Huai had clues, he didn't know much about this world. Sharon, however, had fewer clues, but she was relatively familiar with this world, so the two immediately exchanged information the next morning and then took action.

And hard work pays off. After spending most of the day, the two finally found the legendary place where the witch was sealed.
