Chapter 191 Holy Light Church

Using the subway as a transfer point, Arnold went around District 2 for a few times.

He changed his outfit, but he was not without flaws when he dressed up as an elf, so he chose to change his route.

Of course, there was more than just that. Another reason was that one of his destinations was on that changed route.

He took a steam locomotive, crossed the river bridge in District 2, and arrived at a station.

In the station, there were columnar street lights everywhere, whose actual energy source was electricity and whose appearance was gas lamps.

Arnold walked along the dim rails. The gas lamps that were getting farther and farther away made the shadows of various scenes longer, forming a mysterious picture scroll in Arnold's sight.

He stopped and made way for the light. On the edge of the train tracks, he saw patches of mottled blood.

This is also a crime scene.

Although the police eventually determined it to be a revenge killing, caught the criminal, and even admitted it, Arnold found some doubts. In the end, he concluded that the murderer might have been used, or that the police had problems and ignored this obvious clue.

And now, he naturally felt that the serial murders were related to the black market.

After staying at the scene for a while, Arnold got on the steam locomotive again and left.

Amid the roar of the steam locomotive, Arnold came to his final destination, a crime scene very close to the sewer entrance. He changed to a human-powered carriage pulled by a minotaur, and Arnold crossed the alley and came to the sewer entrance.

When Arnold arrived at his destination, he immediately went straight to the crime scene.

Soon, he found his target.

It was a sewer entrance that was not very large, and the largest was only enough for him to bend over and enter.

However, unlike the traces of the scene near the railway tracks that could be preserved for a long time because no one had walked by, the traces here had basically disappeared.

Moreover

Shaking his head, Arnold suppressed the thoughts that came to his mind, and went into the sewer with a lantern.

After entering the sewer, Arnold did not find any clues.

After walking for a long time, nearly three hours of careful searching, when the kerosene lamp was almost burned out, whether he planned to give up or not, he should prepare to leave the sewer.

However, at this moment, he suddenly heard some sounds.

Even though he knew that he might not be the target, he immediately chased after it.

Pushing open the cover of the sewer, Arnold got out of the ground.

And at this time, he saw the street scene that he did not expect.

"What is this?"

Without identification, a name directly emerged in Arnold's mind-

Holy Light Church.

For the Holy Light Church, Arnold can only use "too familiar" as a label.

This church, which was once the belief of all races at a certain time in history, covering all professions and races, is very familiar to him.

Did Arnold ever doubt the Holy Light Church?

What logic does a normal person follow when he is suspicious? What kind of distinction does he make?

Possible, impossible, yes, no.

These are the most basic.

How will the criminal operate?

In order to avoid being discovered, he will naturally choose to get as close to "impossible" and "no" as possible.

The purpose of all kinds of forged evidence is this.

A very simple but easily overlooked fact.

Detectives, criminal police, detectives, and the fight against criminals are all based on this.

Generally speaking, what is the object that people are most likely to think is "impossible"?

The victim, the police, the detective and other roles that join the incident as a "fair third party".

These will be subconsciously ignored.

However, it is precisely because of this that a capable detective will doubt this kind of fair third party, and then exclude it through reasons such as motives.

However, if it is a situation that is not directly related to identity disguise and it is difficult to have evidence to check, it is necessary to continue to doubt and investigate.

Arnold had long suspected the Holy Light Church.

Of course, it is not because the Holy Light Church is a great and glorious image, close to a fair third party, and it is suitable to be a disguised identity from the perspective of criminals.

In the last era, that is, the Dark Ages, the Holy Light Church was washed away because of its deeds that violated people's values ​​revealed by various churches.

The Holy Light Church of this era is only slightly higher in status.

Arnold believes that the suspicion of the Holy Light Church is lower than that of the police.

But

This is him.

What if the Holy Light Church is the most glorious in the eyes of criminals and those in the black market?

Thinking of this, Arnold's eyes widened, looking at the church building with simple and gorgeous decoration-

The pure white church has a very eye-catching and insignificant tall figure, and the spires like pillars are complicated holy light symbols.

In the center, it is composed of white wings, a cross of light between the wings, and an eye-shaped symbol in the center of the light.

However, the symbol that makes ordinary people feel sacred, noble and under scrutiny is more like peeping and surveillance in Arnold's eyes.

When Arnold walked into the church, the lights in the church were still on.

While mocking the "holy light powered by electricity" in his heart, Arnold also slowed down his pace.

Although he didn't find anyone in the church, he was still afraid of the possibility.

At this moment, in the church hall, the electric lights that showed holy light in the form of oil lamps scattered fan-shaped pieces.

And covered by the fan-shaped pieces were neatly stacked long chairs.

The contrast between the rows of black chairs and the white "holy light" reminded Arnold of the doctrine of the Holy Light Church.

The Holy Light is the truth of everything.

The light of truth guides everyone, guides them to escape from ignorance, escape from the darkness of ignorance, and escape from the eternal nightmare.

Only those trapped in darkness and filth can realize the perfection of the light of truth.

Worship the "Lord", worship the Lord named "Light of Truth".

But Arnold did not think that the Holy Light Church could represent any truth.

However, at this moment, Arnold suddenly slowed down.

Because a girl in a pure white robe appeared in his field of vision, and the other party was sitting on a black bench at the front of the church.

On both sides of the other party, white candles were swaying slightly, making her shadow look extremely strange.

Arnold calmed down and tried to lower the almost inaudible footsteps again and get closer.

However, at this moment when he just raised his feet, the girl with white wings and an elf-like face, but with shorter ears, suddenly turned her head and looked at him.
