Chapter 12 The Church of the Moon and the Inquisition
"Su Lan, will bad guys come in?" Tia looked up at Su Lan as they entered the first-floor bedroom.
Tia can roughly distinguish between good and bad people by their distinctive scents.
She always felt at ease next to Su Lan.
"Maybe?" Su Lan wasn't sure either.
"It's just a try, you won't lose anything. You rest first, and we'll go fishing again in an hour."
After speaking, Su Lan lowered his gaze to Tia's hand, which was linked with his arm.
"Ouch!" Tia realized what was happening, quickly let go, and jumped back.
Su Lan smiled slightly, casually took off her coat, leaned back in her chair, and crossed her legs.
Staying home is so peaceful, but it's a pity I'll be busy again soon.
Tia's nose twitched suddenly, and she turned her head excitedly, saying, "A strange smell! Someone's come in! Let's hide!"
Su Lan was amused.
Why would there be any need to hide?
Tia wasn't wearing her black robe today; she spent the whole day spreading pollution in Kuku.
Although the black gas has become colorless and transparent and invisible to the naked eye due to the suppression device, the pollution concentration is still very high!
This guy has absolutely no self-awareness...
Let alone Linus and Luca, even if third- or fourth-tier knights from the royal city came, they would still be in deep trouble.
However, Su Lan didn't have anything to do right now, and since Tia wanted to play hide-and-seek, she played with her.
"Where do you think you're going to hide? This room probably doesn't have an exit, right?"
"There's no time! Stop asking questions and come with me!"
Tia had half her body buried in the ground, and with a flick of her tail, she beckoned Su Lan to follow.
They actually dug a tunnel on site!
Su Lan's lips twitched. She couldn't take back what she had said, so she had no choice but to keep crawling forward.
They dug and filled in as they went, and soon entered the underground passage.
Tia led the way, then quickly stopped.
She leaned close to Su Lan's ear and whispered, "The bad guy is up there."
"Then he is..." Su Lan had just opened his mouth when Tia jumped up and covered his mouth.
"Shh! Keep your voice down!"
Su Lan blinked to indicate that she understood, and only then did Tia release her grip.
"What is he doing? Can you tell?"
Su Lan thought that Tia was probably addicted to stealth games and was too immersed in the role.
"They're probably rummaging through the closet," Tia said, listening intently as she walked.
"He knocked over several cabinets, and I have to clean them up. He's so mean!"
"It looked like he was climbing stairs, about to go up to the second floor, haha, he fell down and rolled around on the ground!"
Su Lan felt the ground tremble slightly, as if a heavy object was falling and struggling.
It seems the pollution has begun to erode his mind; the traitor can't even stand up straight anymore.
After a while, Tia nudged Su Lan: "That bad guy seems to have mutated, he's yelling and shouting..."
Her ears twitched, and she looked puzzled. "He keeps shouting 'Found it, found it...' What did he find?"
"Aren't you scared?" Su Lan suddenly asked.
Su Lan had seen mutated "people" in her father's territory.
The creature was covered in fleshy growths and pustules, its body swollen up to the point that it could barely be considered human.
Su Lan felt a chill run down her spine and a sense of physical discomfort when she saw it; she even felt nauseous.
"What are you afraid of?" Tia was taken aback for a moment before she realized what she meant.
"Su Lan, are you talking about mutated monsters? I first saw one in the wild when I was a child, and I couldn't even walk. Hecate had to save me. But I've seen them many times since then, so I've gotten used to them."
Tia's eyes darted around, and she suddenly realized, "So Su Lan is afraid of monsters?"
She swung her big tail and patted Su Lan's hand: "Don't worry, I'm very strong. I'll dig a hole and make it fall into the ground, so it can't touch us!"
Su Lan rolled her eyes at Tia.
It's as if he's living off a woman...
However, there's nothing wrong with saying that. At this stage, Su Lan is cultivating resistance and indeed has no means of attack.
But resistance is also very useful, right?
Once he masters his divine skills, he'll go out with a dozen or so demon girls, piling up the pollution concentration. He doesn't believe any assassin will dare to get close to him!
The commotion above gradually subsided, and the monster seemed to be at its last gasp.
Su Lan felt it was about time: "Let's go upstairs and take a look!"
……
Luca felt that the infiltration went surprisingly smoothly.
He entered Su Lan's residence effortlessly, and even when he accidentally fell down the stairs with a loud thud, no one came to check.
"You guys are playing very seriously... It's good to be serious..." Luca's lips curled into an unnatural smile.
He pushed open the study door and casually scratched his arm, only to find it covered in a sticky, warm substance.
"When did I start bleeding?"
Luca's mind was a bit of a mess. He stood there, lost in thought, when suddenly his movements froze.
wrong!
This feels wrong!
It's not his arm!
Luca suddenly awoke, as if a mirror had shattered before his eyes, and in an instant, he saw the real world.
The room was filled with a purplish-black mist that seemed to have a life of its own, wrapping around Luca's limbs and burrowing into his mouth and nose, penetrating everywhere.
"When did it happen? Why didn't I notice?"
Luca's pupils dilated, his face contorted with terror, and he turned to run away.
However, it was too late.
When the fog appeared, the fog also looked at Luca.
In the instant he was swallowed up, only one thought remained in Luca's mind:
"A curse... Am I under Linus's curse?"
Su Lan looked at the writhing, rotting flesh on the ground, her feelings a mix of emotions.
Judging from the hair color and the weapon, this blob should be Luca.
"You've followed my father for so many years, just being a good guard, how did you become a traitor?"
Su Lan shook her head and turned to leave.
Just as I stepped out of the room, a roar came from behind me.
"Linus... Linus..."
Su Lan paused in her steps.
He was genuinely surprised that Luca had regained some consciousness on his deathbed.
"What are you trying to say?"
Su Lan stopped a meter away from Luca.
"Kahn...Moon Goddess...Curse...Revenge...Revenge..."
Luca coughed up black blood, his voice broken and incoherent. Before he could finish a sentence, he suddenly went into a frenzy:
"Kill! Kill them!"
Luca thrashed about twice, then finally lost all strength and fell silent.
"Tia, bury him."
Su Lan sighed and began to analyze.
He didn't know Kahn, nor did he know what Luna was.
But anyone who can drive Luca to such madness must be no good.
"Linus brought in Cain to curse Luca, and then they're both members of the Cult of Luna?"
"Or is Kahn some important figure that Linus cursed Luca, and now he's cursing Kahn too?"
Anyway, Linus has problems.
"Honestly, even in death, they can't rest in peace, turning around and blaming others, using someone else to do their dirty work..."
Su Lan was having a headache when a piece of information suddenly popped into her mind.
[At the crossroads of the future, the relic box opens.]
