Chapter 1537: Holy Assembly

~8 min read 1,538 words

Becoming a witch hunter, Su Xiao started strolling inside the Holy Healing Church. Just as he walked up to the second floor, a rough shout came.

"Hey, newcomer?"

A man with a beard called out to Su Xiao. This was clearly not a good person.

"Time to eat. The cafeteria is on the third floor. Turn left when you reach the third floor."

The scene of bullying newcomers in imagination did not appear. Although this witch hunter's tone was not good, he revealed kindness in his speech. They were all hunters fighting witches for their lives, plus the power system was simple. In this atmosphere, it was unlikely that internal fighting would occur.

The founders of the Holy Healing Church were very visionary. They divided the power system of the Holy Healing Church into two parts: the military department and the management department.

Stationed at the Holy Healing Church headquarters was the military department. Everything here was decided by the Holy Assembly. The Holy Assembly had twelve Holy Councilors, and the old man named Carmen earlier was one of them.

The twelve Holy Councilors directly managed all witch hunters. In fact, there was no need to manage them; the only task of a witch hunter was to investigate and hunt witches.

The second power institution of the Holy Healing Church was the management department, which was the officials of Holy Healing City. They were managed by the Pope. The so-called Pope was essentially the King.

The army, finance, and officials were controlled by the Pope. The Pope could not interfere with the Holy Assembly and witch hunters in any way. Although he was the King, he could not order witch hunters to do anything. Only the Holy Assembly could assign witch hunters.

The Pope was higher than a single Holy Councilor, but the twelve Holy Councilors could easily dismiss the Pope when gathered. The Pope was an elective system, elected by those officials loved by the people.

Power, finance, royal authority, and the mysterious side—the interior of the Holy Healing Church could be said to be clearly divided. Therefore, there was no infighting among witch hunters. They didn't know when they would die while hunting witches, so why fight internally?

Do not think that witch hunters are kind. Every one of them has hands stained with blood. Some extreme witch hunters don't even care about the lives of civilians.

After Su Xiao greeted the bearded man, he turned and walked toward the depths of the second floor. He prepared to go to the library to take a look. This was also the main reason he joined the Holy Healing Church. He wanted to investigate intelligence about the "Mo" character. Before understanding the situation here, he would not rashly ask others.

Most of the rooms on the second floor were residences, and the furnishings had not been renovated for a long time. Tight on the outside and loose on the inside—this was the feeling the Holy Healing Church headquarters gave people. Witch hunters were already tired enough fighting for their lives outside every day; if the system here was strict, problems would arise sooner or later.

Along the way, Su Xiao saw a big man sitting on the windowsill picking his feet shirtless, a female witch hunter kneeling on the ground naked praying with the door open, and even more bizarre ones hanging themselves upside down in the room to train how to fight in an upside-down situation.

After wandering around, Su Xiao came to the library door at the innermost part of the second floor. Pushing open the door, he seemed to see another world. The library was at least a thousand square meters, the environment was dry and warm, rows of bookshelves were neatly arranged, and the floor was spotless.

Just walking into the library, Su Xiao saw an acquaintance, the blonde girl named Sherry.

"Who is it."

"Sherry" picked up the broom beside her hand, her posture like holding a shotgun, ready to give Su Xiao a "spray" at any time.

Su Xiao's brow furrowed. After careful observation, he found that this "Sherry's" hairstyle was a bit wrong. The previous Sherry had loose hair and a goddess style, while this one had a slanted ponytail. From the posture of holding the broom, it was nine out of ten that she was a goddess-nerd.

"Witch hunter."

"Humph, don't try to fool me. I am Xueyi Christine, the witch nemesis."

"..."

Su Xiao no longer paid attention to this goddess-nerd.

"Cut, another boring guy came."

Xueyi put down the broom and slumped on the wooden chair.

"White hunters can only borrow books from the outer area of the library. The innermost area can only be borrowed by blood hunters. Those are secrets~"

After Xueyi finished speaking, she continued to slump on the wooden chair, looking at the ceiling very bored. Her personality was completely different from her sister Sherry.

Su Xiao started flipping through books one by one. Initially, he just wanted to find intelligence, but after flipping through for a while, he found that the books here were very valuable, basically all about combat. The most valuable book for Su Xiao, no, it should be a notebook.

This old notebook recorded the life of a ruthless person. The other party didn't even leave a name or achievements. The ruthless person's whole family was harmed by witches, so he picked up a sword and practiced sword art bitterly. From then on, there was only a knight sword in his life, and nothing else. And what he left behind was only this old notebook.

"This is fictional. How could anyone use a sword to that extent."

Librarian Xueyi leaned over. Su Xiao read the book, and she observed Su Xiao from the side, unable to be driven away.

"One thought can lead to divinity; nothing is impossible."

Su Xiao put down the notebook in his hand and started flipping through other books.

"You are really strange. Don't you go hunt witches? If I were a witch hunter, I would definitely teach those witches a lesson."

"Shut up, so noisy."

"Uh, okay, where was I just now..."

It might have been a long time since anyone came to the library, so Xueyi, this chatterbox, started her non-stop mode.

"Here... no one else, right."

"No, what's wrong?"

"That's good."

One minute later, under the wooden table at the library entrance, Xueyi, tied up like a zongzi, twisted her body like a caterpillar.

That night at nine o'clock, Su Xiao flipped through more than 90% of the books in the library at a speed of ten lines at a glance. This made him sure that the books in this area didn't record too many secrets. The books that only blood hunters could borrow were the things he wanted.

Discovering this point, Su Xiao put down a book about setting traps in his hand. The author of this book could be called a genius, the kind whose brain hole broke through the sky. Su Xiao gained a lot of inspiration about traps from it.

Just walking to the door, Su Xiao thought of the blonde girl under the wooden table. When he looked under the wooden table, he found that the girl had already fallen asleep.

Su Xiao untied the rope and turned to leave the library. Just as he walked, Xueyi under the wooden table sat up.

"How is it?"

An old voice came from behind the bookshelf.

"He came to look for some secrets, very likely about witches. If I'm not mistaken, his next goal is to become a blood hunter."

Xueyi's jumping expression disappeared. She stretched, and her whole body crackled.

"That's good. Wanting to explore secrets is not dangerous, let alone secrets about witches."

Carmen walked out from behind the bookshelf.

"Old man, are you sure there's no problem? This guy's hand-to-hand combat ability is absolutely monster-level. Even a witch can't hold up."

"At my age, you should be more respectful."

"Cut, both are Holy Councilors; ghosts respect you. But overall, this man named Kuku Lin Bai Ye seems to have no problem. At least becoming a witch hunter is no problem."

Just as Xueyi finished speaking, the library door was pushed open, and her twin sister walked into the room.

"He accepted the commission to hunt witches."

Sherry was born with a goddess style, and her words and deeds were like this. Her goddess style was not pride, but a gentle goddess.

Hearing her twin sister's words, her sister Xueyi asked: "How many commissions did he accept?"

"All of them."

"?"

"??"

Xueyi and Carmen both had a moment of astonishment.

"He also accepted that commission?"

Carmen's eyes seemed to be shining.

"He accepted it after hesitating for a few seconds. I emphasized many times that it was a fifth-stage elemental witch."

"What did he say?"

"Oh."

"What?"

"He just said an 'oh', and then took the wanted poster."

Sherry imitated Su Xiao's expression, and her sister laughed. Sherry imitated it very similarly.

The conversation of several people ended here. Bubu Wang not far away yawned. After closing the monitoring device in his hand, he swaggered toward the outside of the Holy Healing Church. ===== CHAPTER 1538 =====
