Chapter 525: Late Night Summoning
Three days later, Pastor Vincent returned to the small church on the mountainside slightly tired, when the auntie nun who stayed behind handed him the note left by Rochelle.
After reading the above, the priest's expression darkened, and he put on his coat again.
"Are you going to go out? It's already dark outside. I'm afraid it's not easy to walk on the mountain road." The nun on the side asked.
"Luna, have you forgotten my previous skills? What's the difference between this and the daytime for me." Vincent said while tidying up his jacket.
"I didn't forget, but I'm afraid you forgot. It's been nearly 20 years since your 100th birthday. The handsome priest who took care of me when I grew up is now a bad old man." The nun brought a lantern , in front of Vincent.
"Oh, okay, I'll take this." Vincent smiled and shook his head, as if he didn't want to admit the fact that he was old.
The old man in white robe followed the small lantern and disappeared at the end of the mountain road. It was pitch black all around, and occasionally there were insects chirping from all around.

Aquarius Palace.
dong dong——
Rochelle was awakened by a knock on the door in her sleep.
Fortunately, the sound was not loud, and Bolly, who was beside him, was still sleeping soundly.
She got up, got out of bed, lit the lantern on the table, and opened the door. Sister Merlin stood outside the door and seemed a little anxious. After seeing Rochelle open the door, her brows finally stretched.
"I'm disturbing your rest, Rosie. But now I have something urgent to ask you and need your help."
"Is it just me?" The girl looked at Bolly, who was sleeping in the house.
"Yes." Sister Merlin nodded.
"Okay, I'll change my clothes first." Rochelle closed the door again, changed into a black nun's uniform, and came out the door.
"Follow me." Sister Melin walked down the corridor with Rochelle. It was late at night, and it was very quiet. She could clearly hear the scuffing of clothes and the sound of footsteps.
The two walked out of the resting room, passed through the courtyard under the moonlight, and came to a remote house. At this time, there were four fully armed church knights standing outside the door. They were all Sequence 5 existences, and they were also among the knights. Rare elite.
After Merlin had a few words with a knight in front of the door, the other person nodded, then moved out of the way and let Rochelle and Merlin enter.
The house was brightly lit, and there were torches on the walls. The two walked through the short corridor and came to a door with steel horizontal rivets. Mei Lian knocked on the door and whispered a short incantation, and the door flowed past. The brilliance, like water lines, only then did the lock squeak and then open.
The small room was full of people, and there was a middle-aged man lying on the bed in the middle, who was the one Rosie had reported a few days ago.
At this moment, his limbs were fixed on the bed by iron shackles, and he seemed to have fallen asleep. There were four people wearing dark robes standing around. These four people had mysterious temperaments, and even their extraordinary perception seemed to be covered by the black robe. Difficult to probe.
They didn't say a word, they were silent, and there were all kinds of weapons hanging from their waists, and they seemed to be elite combatants.
In addition to these four people, there are two people standing beside them, one is also in black robe, but his status seems to be higher, and he is talking to an old man. And this old man was Rosie's former teacher, Pastor Vincent, the retired archbishop.
"According to the results of our investigation with the 'Pure Blood Holy Ball', this person has indeed been infected with the corruption of Chaos Phantom."
"However, the process is slight, as if a dragonfly fell on the water and did not stay. The traces left are extremely subtle. Only after approaching one meter with the sacred object, there is a weak reaction."
"In that case, it proves that Rochelle is right. The route that this person has experienced on the way to the Sanctuary, and all the people who have come into contact with them must be checked." Vincent said slowly.
"It can be done, but I'm afraid it will take a lot of time. The most worrying thing is that the phantom of chaos spreads during this time." The deep voice of the man in black robe came from under the hood.
"Mr. Vincent, please call me." Rosie stepped forward, saluted slightly, and then looked up at the old man.
"Yes, I have to thank you for your early discovery this time."
"Although it's a bit presumptuous, I still want to know how you found out. It's not easy, after all, the symptoms are too weak."
"Because I have seen Chaos Phantom in Emenas, I had an impression at the time. I met it occasionally this time, and I can recognize it naturally." Roland Hill replied, she really didn't lie about what she said, and it can be found in the school. and confirmed.
"About the turmoil in Emenas the year before last, we sent someone to investigate, so we know the name of Miss Rochelle." The black-robed man raised his head, revealing his pupils on the masked black cloth, which reflected The fire on the wall is extraordinarily divine and sharp.
"But this time, we want to know the specific process of Miss Rochelle's discovery of this person's abnormality. This is not suspicion, but curiosity about your early and keen perception."
"Well." Roland Hill sorted out his thoughts a little, recalled the process at that time, and narrated slowly.
.....
Following the story, the black-robed man suddenly interrupted.
"Wait a minute, Miss Rosie said just now that she felt a little strange when she passed the hall, and then she was sure when she got close."
"Then where did you feel the abnormality in the main hall, and how far was it from the hospital bed?" His questions became more and more detailed.
"It's about 50 meters apart, and I feel a little bit strange, and then when I approach about 3 meters, it's completely certain." Rochelle answered thoughtfully, her memory in this life is good,
Many details can be recalled.
"50 meters..." The man in black robe whispered, falling into a brief silence.
Taking advantage of this brief calm, Pastor Vincent spoke.
"I'm disturbing your rest, Rosie, but we have just determined that this person has indeed suffered or corroded, so we urgently summoned you to find out the specific situation."
Loren Hill nodded, showing understanding, then stood aside and waited quietly.
After Vincent discussed with the black-robed man next to him for a few more words, the black-robed man asked the two mysterious people who were guarding the bed to leave and arranged for follow-up investigations.
After everything was arranged, the two stopped discussing. At this time, the man in black robe came over. He was slightly taller, and the body hidden under the robe seemed to be very strong. When he walked in front of Roland Hill, Make the girl feel a significant sense of oppression.
It was a fiercely burning fire of the soul, but the flame was not warm, on the contrary, it made people feel cold and biting. He seemed to have killed many people, and he had a calm indifference to life.
"Can I ask Miss Rochelle to do me a favor?"
"Please speak." The girl raised her blue eyes, whose pure color was like a beautiful gem under the candlelight.
"We'd like to invite you to take a very simple test, and we'll give you some money regardless of the result."
"What test is it?" the girl continued to ask.
"Is such that....."
The man in black robe slowly narrated, although he couldn't see the face hidden under the hood, but Rosie felt that he was the kind of person who didn't bother to lie and would not pit himself on such trivial matters. Still standing Vincent, the old man is also very relieved.
After listening to his story, Rochelle nodded.
"I promise to help with this."
"Then we'll see you tomorrow, Miss Rochelle." He left the other two to guard the room, then took a torch from the wall, walked outside, and disappeared into the darkness.
