Chapter 721: Loss of Soul

When Duanmu Huai returned to Arkham City again, everything was still in order.

The only thing to say is...

"Mistrina, what are those people outside?"

After Duanmu Huai returned to the city, the first thing he did was to find Mistelina and ask his questions.

When he returned to Arkham City, the first thing Duanmu Huai saw was a long queue outside the gate of the territory, which made him quite puzzled. You know, it is already a deep winter world in the world of Faerun. Aren't these people afraid of freezing to death when they run here out of boredom?

"Ah, I was just about to report to you, Judge, there is a curse called amnesia that is currently spreading throughout the North. Those...are all refugees fleeing. In fact, this has something to do with you, sir."

"Amnesia? What? What does it have to do with me?"

Hearing Mistelina's question, Duanmu Huai looked puzzled, and Mistelina quickly introduced the situation to Duanmu Huai.

It turned out that after Duanmu Huai killed the messenger and base of the so-called true god, he shared the matter with various churches in Arkham City. To put it bluntly, it was a bit like the police station above sent down the cases in their jurisdiction, asking the local police stations to pay attention to whether there were similar cases in their jurisdiction.

Let’s not talk about evil gods like Shar for now, and the gods of the good camp like Tyr will naturally not ignore it. As a result, everyone checked it down and was shocked. They always thought that this so-called supreme true god might be a newly emerging cult, but after careful investigation, everyone found that this sect had been lurking in the north for many years, and they had been spreading a curse called amnesia.

Simply put, people who are cursed by this curse will become drowsy at first, and then they will be like losing their souls and only an empty shell is left. Then they will disappear, and when they are found again, they will all join the cult and become loyal believers of that sect.

For example, Emilia and Kasim also investigated this matter. Then, at a farm outside Baldur's Gate, they learned from the wife of a local farmer that her husband had encountered these mysterious guys, and then he began to change from a smart young man to an uncle who looked like he had Alzheimer's disease, and then disappeared.

Then Emilia and others followed the clues and found a stronghold of the Supreme God nearby. To their surprise, the missing farmer had become a complete fanatic in it and even became an important member there.

Of course, Emilia and her team later defeated the cult stronghold and captured the farmer and others, and then escorted them to prison. However, no matter how they interrogated, the farmer would only say over and over again that he believed in the only true God, and that it would eventually devour the world...

The reason why this symptom is called amnesia is that after the examination of the priests and paladins, they were very surprised to find that these people had no souls in their bodies, and their souls were completely missing!

This is very strange.

Logically speaking, if the soul is destroyed, the body must be dead. If the body is still alive without the soul, then it must be a dead creature. However, these people are not dead creatures, and they do not have the characteristics of dead creatures. On the contrary, their performance is almost the same as when they were alive, except that they lost their souls and had a fanatical belief in the so-called Supreme God.

"So what's the situation with so many people outside?"

"Ah......"

At this point, Mistelina sighed helplessly.

"For some reason, the results of the investigation were leaked, and the result is that people everywhere are panicked. Many people are afraid of this terrible curse, and they think that they can avoid being infected with this curse in this territory protected by the gods, so they rush here..."

"Are there patients with amnesia in our territory?"

"No."

Mistelina shook her head.

"But we found several patients with amnesia among the immigrants. They have been isolated. They are being handed over to various temples for research and treatment."

"How were the patients with amnesia discovered?"

"It seems that some kind of divine art that detects souls can see through them... Sorry, I don't know much about magic in this world."

"Are they everywhere?"

"Yes... According to reports, it seems that the probability of remote towns and villages appearing is relatively high. The infection mechanism of this curse is not yet clear. I have ordered the Night Guard to maintain order. So far, it is still normal."

"What is the specific number of infections?"

"The communication method in this world is relatively backward. According to the verifiable information we have collected, at least 800 to 1,000 people have been infected with this curse."

"It's not a small number for this world."

"Is this related to the Chaos Evil God you mentioned, Inquisitor?"

"No, I don't think this is the work of those Chaos Evil Gods. This doesn't seem to be their method."

Faced with Mistelina's question, Duanmu Huai shook his head. This method doesn't seem like something the Chaos Evil God would do, and the stinky fat otaku wouldn't cause such a strange plague. He was more inclined to believe that it was someone from the world of Faerun who was causing trouble, but it was hard to say who it was.

"What's the report from the Blade of Judgment?"

"The Judgment Blade team destroyed several cult strongholds, but found nothing special."

"I see."

After listening to Mistrina's report, Duanmuhuai thought for a moment and nodded.

"I'm going to check on those patients with lost souls first... By the way, call Mary here too."

"Okay, my lord."

Soon, Duanmu Huai came to the Church of Tell in Arkham City. Most of the previously discovered patients with apathy had been taken in by the Church of Tell, and Mary also joined Duan Muhuai. but………

"What's going on with her?"

Looking at Charlie standing not far behind, Duanmuhuai frowned, looked at Mary and asked, while the latter tilted her head in confusion.

"Charlie has been acting with me during this time, can't you?"

"It's not impossible, but... forget it."

Duanmuhuai looked at Charlie, who was standing not far away, and the latter saluted him respectfully. It's just that Duanmu Huai always feels that something is not quite right. How should I put it? He feels that the way Xia Li looks at him is not normal, a bit similar to the way a fanatical star-chaser looks at an idol star... …

Maybe it's my own misunderstanding?

Thinking about it, how could anyone worship me so fanatically as I am?

think too much.

Duanmuhuai looked back and didn't think much.

"Okay, let's go in."

"yes."

After explaining the purpose of their visit, Tire's priest quickly took the two of them to the underground place where the lost souls were housed, and also introduced them to the conditions of these patients.

"Although it is said that they are suffering from apathy, their behavior is not abnormal, and they are even conscious. The only thing to say is that they are very fanatical about the so-called Supreme God..."

"Are you sure they haven't read too much of Cyril?"

Duanmu Huai joked, and the priest also looked strange.

"I'm sure...it's probably not the case, Lord Grand Inquisitor."

The so-called Cyril Book is a book written by Cyric after he became a god. To put it bluntly, after he became a god, what he thought was that other gods were false gods, and Cyric was the only one who was the true god. So he specially found someone to write a book of Cyric. The content was nothing more than how great Cyric was, and how Cyric was the only true god in the world.

Of course, this is just for fun, but I don’t know if it’s because the person who wrote the book is too good at writing or for some reason. After the Bible was written, everyone who read the Bible really felt as if they had been brainwashed. Became Cyric's most loyal and crazy believer.

Then Cyric took a look and said, Huh? This book is really so useful, let me take a look.

And then...well, Cyric went crazy.

Reading his own autobiography, then worshiping himself crazily, and then being so narcissistic that he goes crazy. This is truly the first person in history and in the world.

The most ridiculous thing is that it is actually very simple to resist the power of this book, that is, read "The True Biography of Cyric" before reading this book. To put it simply, the difference between the two is basically "Three Kingdoms" and "Three Kingdoms" The difference between "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"... After you have read the "Official History", there will be no cognitive errors when you read "The Book of Virtues".

So in the final analysis, "The Sutra of Sirui" is a romance book. As a result, Sirik had a conflict with his own memory after reading it - Am I like that in the book? Am I not? Am I? No? Yeah? No?

Then went crazy.

This shows that there are dangers in blowing rainbow farts.

While talking, the three of them also came to the places where patients with lost souls were admitted.

From the outside, this place is a bit similar to the mental ward in Duanmu Huai's memory. Each room is independent, and there is a small window on the door. Tyr's paladins and guards stand on both sides of the corridor, and the door comes from time to time. There were angry roars and curses - well, it was like a combination of a mental hospital and a prison.

"You haven't found any solution?"

"No."

The priest shook his head.

"We are also very surprised. Although their souls have disappeared, their bodies are still living. They are not like undead creatures. They can shine in the sun and also need food and water. If it were not for their fanatical worship of the Supreme True God and If we use magic to detect that there is indeed no soul in their bodies, I’m afraid no one will think there is anything wrong with these people.”

"The Supreme True God is the only god!! You, the lackeys of false gods!"

"Let us out! If you treat us like this, when the Supreme God appears again, it will wipe out all of you...!!"

However, before the pastor had finished speaking, the shouts of those people soon came from the surrounding doors. They stuffed their faces in the windows and roared loudly outside, scaring Mary to the point of being at a loss - - She had never seen anything like this.

"snort!"

Hearing these roars, Duanmu Huai's face darkened, and then he snorted coldly. The next moment, the fear aura spread instantly, and the screaming lost souls suddenly seemed to have their throats strangled, and they did not dare to happen again. .

"You should starve them for ten days and a half to see if they still dare to talk nonsense."

Duanmuhuai looked at the pastor, who shook his head.

"That's not the Thiel way."

"Okay, I know that too, though."

Duanmu Huai complained, and then looked at the guards.

"Bring out these lost souls."

"yes."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's order, the guards immediately opened the locked door and brought out the lost souls who were trembling under Duanmu Huai's fearful aura. At this moment, these lost souls were still so scared that their legs were weak and they could only collapse on the ground. No matter how the guards helped, they seemed unable to stand up from the ground.

"Leave it to you, Mary."

Duanmu Huai turned his head and looked at Mary and said.

"Come and see the situation of these people."

"Wow... I know, it may not be easy to describe..."

"Then do you want to do it again?"

Hearing Mary's answer, Duanmu Huai silently took out the pink book, but when she saw Duanmu Huai's action, Mary's face turned pale and she shook her head desperately.

"No, no, no, no, no! I can express it with painting!!"

Recalling the previous experience, Mary really didn't dare to let Duanmu Huai use that trick again.
