Chapter 442

After the soul dissipated, the corpse under the ground no longer rioted. The priest, who had freed his hands, looked at Xia De in surprise:

"I wanted to ask just now, what kind of sorcery is this? Although power is not divided into justice and evil, but this..."

"Priest, try channeling the soul again."

Xia De waved his hand, not wanting to say more, and pointed to the corpse on the ground:

"The corpse can recover after being destroyed, and the soul might be able to too. If successful, we will try to communicate again; if the soul is really completely destroyed by me, then this corpse can be safely sent to the church."

"No problem."

So the corpse was slapped by the priest again, and the soul that appeared was in a normal state, and obviously remembered what happened just now.

As soon as he appeared, he wanted to move towards the distance at high speed. But Xia De, who had been prepared, manipulated the chain to bind the soul tightly.

The tip of the slender chain, symbolizing the 【Gluttony】 rune, pointed at the soul's head. The soul was a bit crazy at this time. I don't know if the experience of the soul being twisted and collapsed made him crazy, or if the influence brought by the 【Chain of Great Sins】 hadn't been eliminated because of the soul's rebirth.

"If you want to experience the feeling of being on the verge of losing control again, I can help you,"

Xia De said, this threat was deterrent enough.

"No, no, I won't run anymore."

The soul shook his head hurriedly, his expression on his transparent head was chaotic, but his eyes aimed at the black metal dagger on the ground.

Priest Priest Ao Gu Si asked:

"What exactly are you doing? What is the purpose of this resurrection ritual? Or rather, why is there no whisper element on the dagger, but on your corpse?"

The soul didn't want to answer this question, but Xia De tightened the chain, and he was forced to say:

"Actually, it's nothing. I am using the resurrection ritual to seize the power of the relic in nine resurrections... that is, to let myself and the relic become one. This is the poet-level relic 【Death Curse Dagger】, which can enhance undead-type abilities and control the undead through the dagger."

"Become one with the relic?"

"She" laughed in his ear, Xia De frowned, while the priest was so angry that his face turned red:

"Why are there always crazy people like you? Even the church and the academy only dare to contain and use relics to a limited extent. How dare you... what organization of Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi are you?"

"Let me go, otherwise the organization will definitely retaliate against you... Oh."

The tip of the chain tapped on his face a few times.

"I said, move this damn chain away. Truth Society! I am from the Truth Society!"

He was probably really afraid of the thing in front of him.

"Truth Society?"

Xia De had heard the name 【Truth Society】 once. That was mentioned by Yiluna. Like the Silver-Eyed One, the brown-haired girl also had an unsolvable grudge with the 【Truth Society】.

"The Truth Society is an illegal Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi organization rooted in the primeval forests in the south of the Old Continent. They have their own secret castle deep in the forest. The Truth Society is said to have originated in the chaotic era of the Fourth Era. This group of people calls themselves an academic organization and gathers together to pursue the truth, but their crazy actions always cause big trouble."

The priest popularized science to Xia De on the side. He knew that Xia De definitely didn't know this:

"Detective, kill him. Everyone in the Truth Society deserves to die; there is no need to keep him."

Xia De nodded and raised the sword in his hand.

The soul screamed immediately:

"I have almost succeeded. Don't you want to see my research data? In extreme cases, it is possible for humans and relics to become one! Especially those strange and powerful relics, there is even more possibility!"

He looked at Xia De and the priest in turn:

"You can too! You are both Ring Warlocks with great potential. You can definitely perform the ritual I am performing now! Become one with the relic, you all can!"

"Detective, don't listen to his nonsense. Kill him. I will report the matter to the church, and all the research data he left behind should be recovered and destroyed."

The sword in Xia De's hand fell, and the soul screamed crazily. He seemed to want to use the language of sublimation to fight with the two, but the 【Chain of Great Sins】 had the effect of blocking the power of Ring Warlocks:

"To death, I actually didn't see a real person who became one with the relic!"

The soul was split by Xia De for the second time, and then dissipated in the air.

And this time, Priest Priest Ao Gu Si suddenly grabbed something in the air. Xia De saw the phantom white feathers falling behind him again. The priest's hand caught some black traces, and the old hand tapped in the air like playing a piano string. A series of white runes appeared in the air and then disappeared.

And along the traces captured by the priest, the two dug out a purple-gold locket in the mud in front of the coffin. The resurrection ritual required true death, and in order to prevent the soul from really leaving and causing the ritual to fail, the Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi using the ritual must prepare a container to hold the soul.

This information was all told to Xia De by Priest Priest Ao Gu Si. The priest knew a lot about this kind of ritual.

Seal the locket and the dagger, which temporarily couldn't feel the whisper element, separately. Then the two moved the coffin out of the grave to prevent other things from being nearby.

There was indeed something under the coffin, but it was the corpse of an ordinary person. Thinking about it, this was the real remains of the farm woman's husband.

Confirming that there was no problem with the second corpse, Xia De and Priest Priest Ao Gu Si buried him again. Xia De even picked a bunch of wild flowers next to the fence where Little Mia was standing just now and placed them in front of the tombstone as an apology for digging open the grave tonight.

And during this period, the light in the gravedigger's hut never lit up. Xia De didn't know if the other party was really sleeping soundly, or if he had already woken up but didn't dare to make a sound.

"Priest, what should we do with this Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi's corpse, soul, and dagger? Do I need to call a carriage?"

Confirming that all traces had been handled, Xia De asked.

"You go back first, detective. You've worked hard tonight. I will give you the Weak Angel Potion next week."

The priest rolled down the sleeves he had rolled up while digging, and waved to Xia De:

"I have done similar things many times. Next, I will find a way to notify the church and let the church take the corpse back."

"Alright then, I'll take Mia and leave first. I always feel that there was no harvest from tonight's action."

Xia De said with a yawn, while Priest Priest Ao Gu Si looked very happy:

"We successfully stopped a guy who would cause trouble in the Tobesk diocese, and let a corpse that was unfortunately involved return to its own coffin. Isn't this a harvest?"

"Indeed successful, alright then Priest, I'll go back first. Oh, it's almost two o'clock. There is still the doctor's study meeting this afternoon."

Xia De nodded, said goodbye to the priest, and then walked towards the exit of the cemetery with light steps, carrying the cat.

Priest Priest Ao Gu Si kept a smile, standing beside the corpse, standing in front of the grave, watching Xia De's figure disappear on the path in front of the cemetery.

The smile on the old man's face disappeared. He sent the horse lamp back to the gravedigger's hut, then bent down to pick up the two shovels and tucked them on the left side of his body, put the box containing the dagger and soul into a large pocket tied to his waist, and finally pulled up the corpse's hand with his right hand.

He looked left and right vigilantly, and after confirming that there was no one, he turned to face the moon, closed his eyes, and frowned. After a long while, as the sound of birds flapping their wings appeared, a pair of tattered white feather wings revealing bones and flesh appeared behind the priest.

The moonlight shone on the priest, and the light passed through the gaps in the charred black feathers, making strange shadows appear on the ground. Feathers with a faint light fell to the ground, but disappeared before touching the ground. These wings were translucent.

The wings flapped twice behind his back, and the priest slowly rose into the air. Then under the moonlight, under the moonlit night, holding the shovels and dragging the corpse, he flew towards the direction of the city area.

"This scene is the weirdest thing tonight."

Silver mist appeared abruptly behind the gravedigger's hut. Xia De walked out of the silver mist carrying the cat, and together with Mia, looked up at Priest Priest Ao Gu Si, who had become only a small black dot under the moonlight.

He didn't deliberately want to peek at other people's secrets, but was very curious about how the priest would go back when there was no carriage nearby.

"Vice Dean Professor Sanchez said that thirty years ago, in the third year after Late Priest Ao Gu Si joined the Dawn Church, he was involved in a containment failure event of a Level 0 relic as an ordinary person. And Priest Priest Ao Gu Si was one of the few survivors that year..."

Xia De narrowed his eyes and looked at the priest who had disappeared into the deep night sky:

"What kind of creature would those strange wings belong to? Perfect, tattered, holy, bloody... Interesting, everyone has their own secrets."

Thinking of Professor Sanchez's evaluation of the five members of the group, perhaps the professor thought Xia De was the only normal person among them, which was really a correct conclusion.
