Chapter 1851: A Visitor from the Pope
"Let me send you off; at this hour, it's quite chaotic outside," Jinsang said.
"No need, I'm just curious to see what District 55 is really like," Chen Yu smiled slightly.
He took Eve and was about to leave, but just then, a heavy voice came over: "Blasphemer, you should not leave."
Following a loud boom, the alloy door of the bar was suddenly dented with a massive palm print; this was some kind of Divine Power.
"It's someone from the Pope," Jinsang's expression changed drastically.
Before he could react, the other party struck the door again with another booming palm strike.
With a loud crash, the metal door was completely smashed open by the opponent, and then a man dressed in missionary attire walked in slowly.
As soon as he entered, he carried an aura of holiness, and at the same time, the lights in the room slowly lit up under the influence of his Mind Power.
"I am the missionary Auben. I smelled an abnormal aura here; there is a blasphemer inside," Auben's face carried the arrogance of many Pope personnel.
He walked into the room and coldly glanced around the scene.
All eyes in the room fell on Auben, but in the eyes of most people, two words were written: "idiot."
Auben carried that arrogance typical of Pope personnel—the aura that "you are all trash, and only I am the best in the world"—which made people extremely uncomfortable to look at.
It was just that this guy's aura was full of "chuunibyou" style, making people feel like he was mentally disabled.
Auben did not sense the strange looks around him; he walked slowly to the center, glanced at everyone present with slanted eyes, and then said slowly: "I smell the scent of heresy here."
"Walk out yourself, head to the execution ground, and let the raging fire cleanse the sins upon you; otherwise, the gods will send down punishment, and you will never know peace."
This inexplicable statement made the surrounding gazes even stranger.
"Who are you looking for?" Jinsang finally couldn't help but speak up; after all, this was his territory, and he would not allow such a mentally abnormal person to appear on his turf.
"All heretics are my targets." Auben's expression was serious; he scanned the scene coldly, flipped his right hand, and a bottle of Holy Water appeared in his hand.
"The gods grant you glory, yet you cast it aside. I shall use the holy water to thoroughly cleanse the filth upon you."
As this guy muttered words, the Holy Water in his hand suddenly opened and was splashed violently in all directions.
Sizzle... Werewolves who couldn't dodge in time screamed; Jinsang and several of his subordinates were splashed by the Holy Water.
Jinsang, who was not a pure human to begin with, immediately had his skin torn and flesh mangled; these waters felt like being splashed with strong acid on his body.
He let out a howl and straightened his body, about to transform; although he wasn't a pure Werewolf, his temper would instantly flare up when he was hurt.
But Chen Yu pointed a finger, forcibly restraining his transformation form, which made Jinsang very uncomfortable. He wanted to transform but couldn't. He looked at Chen Yu, confused, not knowing why Chen Yu was stopping him from transforming.
"There is no one here you are looking for, stop acting crazy." Chen Yu blocked in front of Eve, keeping her from being affected by the Holy Water.
Jinsang's few subordinates were human; the reason they reacted so strongly was entirely because they had too much contact with Jinsang.
But after their discomfort passed, it was over; the dark auras they had been tainted with were cleansed, and they were fine.
Auben scanned the room coldly, then his gaze locked onto Chen Yu, but immediately his gaze passed through Chen Yu, scanning Eve behind him.
Suddenly, his figure flickered and he vanished from the scene, appearing right in front of Eve. He reached out his right hand, intending to place it on Eve's shoulder.
Chen Yu grabbed Eve's hand and stepped back, the two of them instantly putting a distance of over ten meters between them and Auben.
"Speak if you have something to say, don't go around moving your hands. Don't think that just because you are from the Pope, you can put your filthy hands on a girl," Chen Yu warned.
"Since I have sought her out, it means she is different from ordinary people. I have reason to suspect she is a heretic, so I must investigate her background clearly." Auben glanced at Chen Yu: "This is the rule of the Pope."
"I don't know what the Pope's rules are, but my rule is that you cannot just take people away. Let alone you, even if your Pope came, it wouldn't work." Chen Yu did not back down at all.
"I'm afraid that's not up to you." Auben's face became even more serious.
Indeed, Eve's skin was too pale, which was different from a normal person, and this further confirmed his thoughts.
He had received a report today that there was a heretic in the Vampire Bar; since he had come, he could not return empty-handed.
"God has developed suspicions about you. You must put down all your defenses and cooperate with God's investigation; otherwise, you will be judged for the crime of blasphemy."
Auben held both hands upward, and two strands of holy white light slowly surged from his palms. At this moment, his words carried an unquestionable majesty, as if even his soul had become taller.
"What, is your Pope trying to see who has the louder voice?" Chen Yu sneered: "Then let's compare who has the louder lungs."
Chen Yu's last sentence rang out in the room like a thunderclap, the buzzing sound making people's eardrums ache.
Auben's hands trembled slightly, and the Holy Light gathered in his palms suddenly vanished. He stumbled back a few steps, feeling a tightness in his chest.
He looked at Chen Yu in front of him in shock; for a moment, the Holy Power within his body was in chaos, and he actually felt unable to summon it.
"Who exactly... are you?" Staring at Chen Yu, his original arrogance had long since vanished without a trace.
His expression as he looked at Chen Yu was incredibly confused. He knew his power came from faith, yet Chen Yu's low shout had actually caused his Faith Power to stagnate. Who exactly was this person to possess such power?
"A Huaxia person; I don't need to reveal my identity, do I?" Chen Yu said indifferently: "I am taking her away now, do you have a problem with that?"
"She must undergo the baptism of Holy Water. If she is human, I will naturally let you take her, but if she hasn't passed the test of Holy Water, then I'm sorry, no one can take her today." Auben was furious.
His hand gripped several magic scrolls; if Chen Yu really insisted on taking her away today, he would defend the Pope's majesty even if he had to risk his life.
"Then give it a try and see how your gods instruct you." Chen Yu smiled slightly.
Auben's expression was serious; he took out another small bottle of Holy Water, muttering words as he continuously made the sign of the cross on himself.
Then he slowly opened the Holy Water and held the bottle high above his head.
