Chapter 332 Grand Debut

HRE, Molenita, is a country that unites politics and religion. The city center of HRE is also a cathedral. At this time, the regional bishop sitting in the bishop's office is reviewing today's documents.

"Another church member died? This world is so unstable. Why haven't the Guardian Knights found the murderer yet? It's like one generation after another! I think back then..."

Looking at the official obituary of a certain church member who had once met in the "Garden of Eden", he couldn't help but show anger, but there was a trace of fear mixed in that emotion.

As a country with the most complex environment in the world, the largest number of resistance forces, the most frequent sectarian activities, and the most common nightmares, the mortality rate of church bishops and archbishop-level clergy has always been high, but being low does not mean that they are not afraid.

After flipping through the internal documents, the bishop couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The perpetrator this time was suspected to be the assassin organization that had been focusing on assassinating the middle and high-level members of the church for two centuries - [Theatre Troupe].

"According to the habits of this organization, it will not commit two consecutive crimes in the same parish. After each operation, it will usually be silent for about a month to half a year before committing another crime..."

The bishop secretly recalled the history of this assassin organization called "The Troupe" and couldn't help but sigh. Shinra has never lacked all kinds of resistance forces. Many of them are high-level officials of the country that were destroyed by Shinra. Old organizations have been wiped out every year, but there are always new ones emerging, like this [Theatre Troupe]. You can tell at a glance that they are the style of Ilvia, who destroyed the country three hundred years ago, but if you want to catch them, But it can't be caught.

Because Shinra's attack on pagans at that time was based on complete destruction, let alone higher than the wheel, as long as it is related to paganism, even the eggs will be shaken for you!

In other words, as long as anyone is known to be a survivor, he will not survive now. Those who can survive are either "dead" in the official files, or there are no relevant records at all. As for stage drama troupes...do you know how many theater troupes Shinra has that travel around the country and even the world?

Moreover, this organization has existed for more than 200 years. All the old and new theater groups that can be checked have been checked, not to mention that this organization is most likely just a theater company. How can there be a phantom thief who uses magic as a gimmick to steal things? Why do you always work as a magician?

Shaking his head to suppress the fear in his heart, the bishop put the obituary aside and planned to consider whether to attend later, but at this moment, the ding-dong melody suddenly sounded in his ears.

It is a jumping, not a strange texture that any traditional musical instrument can show, but the intertwined melody has a kind of ear-catching magic.

"Who is it?! Who is showing up in church?!"

The bishop stood up abruptly, with a bit of pleading in his angry eyes, as if he was praying for someone to respond to this accusation, but the next moment, what appeared in his ears was a voice that was not like a human being——

"He offered sacrifices to Bacchus~

"Sacrifice with songs and wine~

"Elegance and melodiousness compose a bloody overture~"

The originally bright office was suddenly coated with a layer of blood, and the light shining from the window also turned scarlet, turning the originally holy setting into an auditorium of God desecrated by demons.

Wearing a gorgeous cloaked gown, a figure with a half-masked face appeared in the room. He placed a small golden wine glass on the bishop's desk, and a pair of daggers fell into his hands.

No one knew how he appeared in the bishop's office, which was supposed to have a complete security system, but the bishop knew that he was in big trouble!

The holy light lit up in the bloody room, and the bishop, exuding a holy aura, did not try to fight, but rushed straight towards the window.

However, the assassin who was still singing loudly stopped in front of him like a ghost.

"Qiang!" With a crisp sound, the cross sword transformed from the holy emblem was easily blocked, but the bishop standing with the sword widened his eyes——

"Jiu...judicial court?!"

Looking at the man with his swords folded into a cross in front of him, exuding a trembling aura, the bishop's eyes were so unbelievable. Although he is now in a high position, he is a serious member of the Guardian Knights. , when training in the Court of Eden, he was also taught combat skills by retired Inquisition instructors!

But at this time, the sacred scripture that should have been sung loudly while swinging the sword was replaced by a piece of music with an eerie tone that made people want to listen unconsciously.

And this assassin, who was singing with an inhuman voice, was pointing his sword at himself!

"Who the hell are you?!"

Holding the Holy Emblem tightly, the bishop asked sternly, although HRE adheres to the caste system where the son of the bishop is still the bishop, but as a country where the concept of "blood determines achievement" has been engraved into common sense, these high-caste people often have better talents. .

Even though he had not fought for a long time after becoming a bishop, at this moment when his life was threatened, the memories of the previous battles were quickly returning!

"I prepare hell for my enemies~

"Use music and singing as weapons~

"Killing and death bear witness to the meaning of existence~"

Answering the bishop's questions with a song, the man waved his swords in the melody, and the collision of the weapons was like a crisp drum beat, accompaniment to his inhumanly charming voice.

"Someone! Come quickly!"

While trying his best to resist the opponent's attack, the bishop used the structure technique to increase the volume and wanted to call the knights of the church. He vaguely realized that the reason why the opponent had not taken him down was not because of his strength, but because -

The opponent also regarded this battle as a performance!

And in a drama performance, it is obviously impossible for the fight to end easily before the song is finished!

However, this is also his chance to escape!

He quickly recalled the knowledge taught by the instructor in the past, and vigorously shook off every attack. The G·I force field condensed secretly and turned into an iron hammer infused with faith, hitting the wall hard.

In an instant, an indescribable blood-red brilliance shattered, and the feeling of isolation from the world suddenly disappeared, but the high-pitched singing still did not stop.

"He seeks secrets from the audience~

"Interpreting tragedy with sorrow and fear~

"Blood and madness set the finale of revenge~"

The door was pushed open, and the knight who followed the sound rushed into the room in the melody that had not yet completely ended, but saw the bishop whose head and neck had been separated, and a man holding a cup of blood in a golden wine glass, singing the last line of the melody.

After the song was finished, the figure disappeared in the room, and what was left was a circle of empty space that seemed to avoid even the flow of blood, and a small wine glass filled with the bishop's blood placed in the middle of the empty space.
