The Only Righteous Priest Chapter 2

According to Adrian's analysis, the couple and the child who just came are already in soul state.

It was only because of his devout belief in the Church of Light during his lifetime and his strong desire to repent after his death that his soul was extradited to the church.

Picking up a gas lamp, he closed the church door and headed for the police station.

If it was just a matter of simple confession, Adrian could handle it himself.

But if it was a soul that came, it would mean that the three people were already dead. We can't just leave their bodies exposed in the wilderness, right?

In addition, Adrian also heard some strange and weird things from the three souls' self-narration...

"I hope it's just my wishful thinking and my nerves are strained..."

Although it is summer, there is still a hint of coolness in Xueyuan Town at night.

Adrian came to the police station and told them about the strange things that happened in the church today. The police station immediately organized personnel.

According to the description of the conversation between Adrian and the ghost, everyone finally salvaged two bodies from a suburban pond not far from the town.

One was the body of a child, the other that of an adult.

There were no signs of struggle on the child's corpse, and he must have lost consciousness after choking on water.

The other adult male had bulging eyes and a ferocious expression, with a bright and clear mark on his neck. There was mud and sand from the bottom of the pond between his fingers, and a knife mark on his body that had been soaked and turned inside out.

The security guard found a woman who had died from a head-on impact and intracranial trauma in a house not far from the pond. A bloody hatchet was lying beside her.

When the three bodies were neatly laid out in front of me, the tragic deaths and the sense of shock were overwhelming.

In a remote town like Xueyuan Town, even if there was chaos in one family, the whole city would know about it, not to mention the tragic death of a family of three.

Captain Edward of the police station looked at Adrian and asked, "Reverend Bai, what do you say now? Should we close this case as a domestic dispute leading to death?"

The whole thing was extremely strange, and Adrian's confession made it even more absurd.

A soul goes to church to confess, this...is considered a miracle, right?

As expected of Pastor Bai, after only being in Xueyuan Town for such a short time, he was able to gain the trust of believers. Even the souls of the dead had to confess to Pastor Bai before they were willing to be reborn.

Leaving the three bodies like this is not a good idea. If they are discovered tomorrow morning, it will easily cause panic among the citizens.

Adrian's sixth sense told him that things were not that simple.

Recalling the previous conversation with the three dead people in the church, Adrian always felt as if the whole thing was driven by an invisible big hand.

and...

The man’s cross was not found at the scene.

"Wait a moment while I check again."

Adrian walked to the male corpse, made the sign of the cross, and murmured: "The Lord will forgive your sins. Please let the Lord see the truth..."

After saying that, he took off the cross from his neck and placed it against the male corpse’s forehead.

At this moment, a black shadow appeared on the head of the male corpse, like a snake or a worm...

The shadow moved across the skin of the dead man's head, forced nowhere to hide by the holy energy of the cross.

The black shadow twists and tumbles beneath the skin, and you can see the muscles and skin being stretched out to outline the shape of the shadow itself.

It moved from the scalp to the face, and from the face to behind the ears. Finally, it could no longer bear the stimulation of the cross and crawled out of the dead man's mouth.

Adrian was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grabbed the thing that was trying to slip away and then nailed it with a cross!

Under the power of the cross, the black shadow turned into a wisp of black smoke along with a foul smell.

Adrian spread out his palms, and all the security team members, including Security Captain Edward, surrounded him.

The charred insect was ten centimeters long, with eight pairs of tentacles evenly distributed on both sides of its body. At the end of the insect, there was a barbed tail that looked like a capillary.

Adrian's face was gloomy. He looked up and said, "It's a brain-eating worm that feeds on the brains of animals. The barbs on its tail can directly connect to the nerve endings in the brain to control a person's thoughts and behavior."

This kind of thing is rarely seen in nature, let alone by people living in towns.

The ones who can control this thing are witch doctors, warlocks, and fallen druids...

Adrian said solemnly to the security Captain Edward: "Captain, the current situation is no longer as simple as a family dispute..."

Although Captain Edward was usually loud and unrestrained, he put on a stern face at this moment and asked, "Pastor Bai, just tell me what to do!"

Although Adrian usually likes to play badly, now he sees the followers of the Church of Light having their souls deliberately taken away...

This is tantamount to Sh!tting on his head!

Even clay figures get angry, let alone humans!

He had just made the statement today, and three people died as a result in the evening.

If this gets out, how can Adrian stay in Xueyuan Town?

How can I continue to speak freely and talk about justice with my believers in the future?

Adrian narrowed his eyes slightly and focused his gaze on one point.

Security Captain Edward felt a chill for no reason.

"Captain Edward, do you know what's happening outside the city recently..."

Hogg didn't know why Adrian suddenly mentioned the outside of the city, but he answered honestly: "I heard from the people in the city that there is a mysterious Ethan Evil causing trouble. Some people in the city have suddenly become abnormal in their behavior, and even mentally disturbed."

"Our police station has also sent people to investigate, but there is no evidence to show that these people's abnormal behavior is related to the outside world. Even searching outside the city, no clues were found."

Adrian expressed his analysis.

"The only professions that can control brain-eating worms are witch doctors, warlocks, and fallen druids. I have never heard of witch doctors or fallen druids in Snowfield Town, but there are rumors of evil warlocks..."

"Besides, Captain Edward, don't you think there's something missing from the dead man?"

With Adrian's hint, Captain Edward observed for a moment and suddenly realized: "The cross on the man's neck is gone!"

At this time, Adrian said quietly: "Because only without the blessing of the cross, it is possible to poison the brain-eating worm...so the marks on the man's neck are not from the chain of the cross, but from something else. This also indirectly shows that the murderer has been to the scene!"

At this point, how could everyone present not understand that this was not a family dispute or an accident, but a premeditated murder!

"Reverend Bai, what do you say?"

Dealing with Ethan Evils is not the specialty of the police station.

But now they have the one and only priest of light in Snowfield Town, who is also a top student who graduated from St. John's Seminary and is very good at dealing with warlocks from this evil camp!

This also made Captain Edward and other people in the police station have great expectations.

Adrian is under a lot of pressure at the moment.

Damn, if he was a top student, would he have only learned the "illumination technique" in three years at a prestigious university?

It's the lowest level one.

The reason why I have reached the maximum level now is all thanks to Adrian's use of justice points to upgrade it!

To be honest, Adrian has gone soft.

But he had to get hard in front of so many people!

Adrian continued to analyze: "We can't wait any longer! We must leave the city overnight and find the murderer!" [Justice value +100]

Captain Edward showed some hesitation on his face: "Isn't it a bit too hasty? There are only a few members of the security team on night duty tonight. Should we gather some more people tomorrow and report to the mayor and the Oliver Clerk before taking action?"

Adrian kept shaking his head: "We have to give up all hope now! Before, only some people in the city went crazy, but no one lost their lives. This shows that the murderer is taking advantage of fear. But now he is plotting to kill people, and even going to the scene to harvest souls in person despite the danger. This shows that the murderer's long-planned plan has reached the most critical moment!"

"I suspect that the enemy is gathering fear and souls, and will most likely perform a ritual tonight! If we miss this best opportunity, when we report and gather people tomorrow, the enemy we face may be much stronger than today!"

At this moment, a prompt appeared in the Adrian system.

Mission: A tragic death

Mission description: A family of devout believers died tragically. You keenly realized that this was not an accident, but was caused by someone else.

Mission objective: Find the real murderer and reveal the truth

Mission Reward: A random level 1 spell for the priest class, moderate experience points

---

Well, now even the system has issued tasks.

Adrian has to do it no matter what!

Captain Edward and the other three team members were all persuaded by Adrian.

After all, Adrian is the expert in dealing with the evil camp, and they can only help.

"Okay! Since Pastor Bai said so, let's set off tonight and not give the murderer any chance to breathe or strengthen himself!"

With teammates, Adrian was full of confidence: "Okay, let's take advantage of the murderer's weakest moment during the ritual tonight to give him a fatal blow! We will go outside the city now! Turn the tide, save the collapsing building, and protect the lives and property of the people!" [Justice Value +200]

After saying that, Adrian stared at Captain Edward and his men, wondering why this guy didn't move.

Do you want him, a cloth-armored priest, to walk in the front and attract fire?

Captain Edward also stared at Adrian with wide eyes.

Both sides were suddenly awkward.

"Pastor Bai, why don't you leave?" Hogg couldn't help but ask.

Adrian Tactical coughed and said, "Captain Edward, you and your team will clear the way. I will cover the rear for everyone to prevent the enemy from attacking! No one knows evil warlocks better than me. They never launch attacks head-on, but always use various insidious tricks to attack, create and spread fear. This is the most dangerous position, and I should be the one to defend it!" [Justice Value +100]

After hearing Adrian's explanation, everyone suddenly realized that Pastor Bai was far-sighted and had his best interests at heart.

This noble spirit of sacrifice, of putting oneself in danger, is truly moving.

"The entire Snowfield Town is lucky to have Pastor Bai!"

Some members of the security team even fell into self-condemnation.

"I am so damned! I actually thought that Pastor Bai was scared, so I chose the back seat. How could I use such a dirty mind to judge Pastor Bai..."

With mixed feelings, the group left Xueyuan Town and entered the forest.

Late at night is the time for humans to rest.

But it is an area where wild beasts hunt aplenty.

The murderer is so eager to take the life of the deceased that he even shows up in person, which shows how eager he is to perform the ritual.

Therefore, if the murderer wanted to perform a ritual or research late at night, he would certainly not look for a place in the wild that is easily disturbed. It could only be an unused hunter's cabin or a cave in the mountains.

Fortunately, Captain Edward and his men often went up the mountain to deal with vagrants and poachers.

Although he didn't know everything about the mountains near the town, he knew exactly where the hunters' cabins and caves were.

Sure enough, after a while of searching, they found a cave with flickering fire.

"This must be the place!" Captain Edward was quite excited.

The forest was rugged and difficult to travel in at night. The few people were in a mess along the way, but at least they did not find anything empty-handed.

"Go up quietly, and don't alert the enemy when you reach the cave entrance. The enemy dares to conduct research in the cave so blatantly at night, so they must have set a trap at the entrance."

Adrian paused for a moment and continued, "Everyone, follow my gestures. Captain Edward will lead the police to charge first and attract the other side's attention. Then I will come forward and fight with the opponent to determine the outcome!" [Justice Value +100]

Adrian's abacus made a clacking sound.

If Captain Edward and his group could take it down, there would be no need for me to do it myself.

And if they go in and attract the first wave of firepower, it will be safer for them.

If there is a stalemate, then I can just go in and pick peaches.

The plan went smoothly, perfect!

After the previous "misunderstanding", everyone in the security station had no doubts about Adrian this time, and they praised the plan for being thoughtful and detailed.

"I'll leave everything to you, Reverend Bai!"

"We can't help you much, we can only go up and disrupt the enemy's sight a little."

"Damn it, I hate myself for not being able to help at all!"

Shame was written all over everyone's face; even under the moonlight in the forest, one could almost see their blushing faces.

Adrian patted a few people on the shoulders, speaking calmly, as if he was facing death alone:   "It's okay, I'm a pastor of light, born to fight the darkness and evil in the world to the end! This is my mission!" [Justice value +200]

For a moment, under the moonlight, Captain Edward and the members of the police station were all in awe.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "He is indeed a top student who graduated from St. John's Seminary. Look at his awareness and quality!"

When everyone reached the edge of the cave, they could even see swaying shadows by the light of the fire inside the cave.

The murderer's whispers, against the backdrop of the night, sounded even more insane.

"Give Him your madness."

"A sufficient amount of madness will be the ultimate delicacy to awaken Him."

"Three fresh souls in exchange for one wish..."

Okay!

As soon as Adrian heard it, he knew that the Ethan Evil was performing some kind of sacrificial ritual.

Without waiting any longer, he raised his hand and made an attacking gesture towards the people in the security station.

Captain Edward took the lead and rushed forward with his shield and sword raised.

Others followed closely behind, and their shouting made the flames flicker even more.

The Ethan Evil who was performing a summoning in the cave was at the most critical moment of the ritual, but he didn't expect a group of people to suddenly rush in and interrupt him.

Just when several men were about to reach the Ethan Evil with their swords and swords, they suddenly felt as if their feet were stuck in a quagmire, unable to pull their legs out, their steps became heavy, and they were all fixed in place.

The evil warlock snorted coldly and glanced at it: "Fortunately, I was prepared in advance. It just so happens that there are fresh souls, which can be exchanged for an extra wish. Lilith, do it..."

At this time, a winged succubus walked out from the darkness of the cave, taking enchanting and S3xy steps, holding a whip, and her lilac-like tongue gently stroked the S3xy and plump red lips, revealing a salivating expression.

"Yes, Master."

Just then, Adrian jumped in from outside the cave.

"Illumination!"

"Oh, a mere light...ah! My eyes!"

An extremely bright white light emanated from the silver boxing gloves in Adrian's hands, instantly swallowing up and submerging the entire cave.

At this moment, everyone's shadows and all the darkness were squeezed out of the cave, sweeping away the darkness.

This ray of light even squeezed out of the cave, forming a beam of light as thick as the cave entrance, shooting out for dozens of meters.

Not only did it illuminate the entire forest, but even the nearby Snowfield Town was illuminated as bright as day.

Many people who were falling asleep were awakened by the sudden strong white light outside the window.

Even the rooster that had been hatched in the town for two and a half years was forced to crow.
