001 Investigation Team
It was a weekend, the sky was slightly gloomy and it was raining.
After returning to the temple for about a week, the exorcist who participated in the temple martial arts exercise counted that there were more than 800 living teams, and the number of deaths reached four digits.
This is a shocking tragedy.
The surviving team... or only a dozen squads were killed without a single person. The rest of the squads had more or less lost their comrades, and were heartbroken.
Three days ago, I attended a funeral.
During the collective funeral, thousands of exorcists lay in the cold coffin and were buried in the soil, and the light of heaven would never be seen.
Crying sounds come one after another.
On that day, it was drizzling in the sky, and the solemn funeral was not noisy and ended quietly.
Back in the room, I lay on the bed and stared blankly at Xiaoyu outside the window. It seemed that a piece of my heart was hollowed out, empty and nothing could be made up for this sense of emptiness.
Until today, this feeling of emptiness that makes people almost madly has been relieved.
Outside the window, pedestrians on the street were rushing. The solemn and sacred temple in the past may have been covered with a layer of haze because of the weather, not only buildings, but also...
Human heart.
After the funeral, no one left, and all the exorcists stayed here, waiting for further processing of things.
Unfortunately... there is no response.
The temple was completely silent. No one stood up to explain this matter, nor did he say that the temple now thinks that the weather outside is not only gloomy, but also depressing.
It's almost crazy to suppress.
Bang bang bang...
A crisp knock on the door rang out, echoing inside the corridor.
"Go forward!" I said lightly: "The door is not closed."
With a creaking sound, a man in a black cloak pushed open the door and walked in, closed the door, and locked it.
"Wu'an, Lord Yan Xiaobei Exorcist." The visitor lifted his hood and revealed a familiar face.
"Wu'an, Lord Livonz."
I nodded slightly to him and signaled. A few days ago, I promised him to help the Holy Emperor suppress the elder faction and find out the traitor. As a result, the other party lost his trace after returning to the temple, and now he appears in front of me again...
"I believe you have guessed my purpose, Lord Yan Xiaobei Exorcist."
"More or less, Lord Livonz, have the traitors found out?"
"I came for this today. The Lord Yan Xiaobei Exorcist. It is not easy to investigate the six elders. There are many procedures that cannot be overcome, so..."
"It's very troublesome, is it?"
"I feel extremely honored that you can understand." Livonz smiled bitterly.
I slowly stood up from the chair and got a cup of tea for Livonz.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome." I shook my head and turned around and walked back, saying, "Please allow me to say something ugly. Lord Livunz, although my squad was severely damaged, fortunately no one died. So although I was dissatisfied with this incident, I could still use my rationality to suppress it, but..."
"Where are those exorcists who died of their companions. Their companions died in that attack. They were heartbroken and were full of hope for the Temple to respond. However, the Temple suddenly fell silent. During the waiting days, many people's hearts were cold. Can you understand this?"
Livonz's wry smile became stronger and stronger, and his hands holding the teacup were trembling.
"If it weren't for the authority of the temple, the supreme position of the temple in the heart of the exorcist, maybe they had already started. In a short period of time, maybe they could still restrain themselves, but over time, it might become an uncontrollable situation, so... please don't let their expectations become real disappointment, Lord Livonz."
"I know, I know this, Lord Yan Xiaobei Exorcist."
Livonz said seriously.
"I am not a machine without emotions. I have already clearly understood their dissatisfaction. Even the Holy Emperor is extremely anxious about this, but... the six elders are too powerful. If they use tough methods, it is easy to turmoil in the temple and cause huge uproars."
I knew the temple was in a difficult situation, so I was waiting patiently.
But I am not sure whether those people will wait patiently. Whether their comrades die in that place and the accumulated dissatisfaction can be suppressed with reason.
The atmosphere suddenly fell into an embarrassing silence.
I spoke out, "Mr. Livunz said just now that looking for me is about a traitor, I don't know what it is."
After a few seconds of silence, Livunz said: "His Excellency Yan Xiaobei Exorcist, in order to calm down what may be triggered, Lord Saint Emperor decided to temporarily form a "Investigation Team" specifically responsible for investigating the six elders and finding out the real traitors."
After a pause, he continued: "This temporary investigation team has been approved by six elders, and in fact, they will not object to this proposal."
As if laughing, Livonz showed a contemptuous smile.
"Apart from the traitor who has ulterior motives, everyone will agree with the existence of the investigation team. However, in order to maintain the purity of the team, an elder suggested that the patrol team should not use any one's confidant, the elder's confidant cannot enter the investigation team, nor can the confidant of the Holy Emperor."
"Since the exorcists are injured, I will sit here and wait for their investigation. They... have such power!"
Livíz said with a wry smile: "The above is what the elder said. The Holy Emperor also agreed to this proposal."
"It can be said that the Holy Emperor has begun to make a desperate bet. If he succeeds, he can uncover a traitor and calm an internal strife at the beginning. If he fails... the internal strife has rioted, the Holy Emperor has descended, the Temple is turbulent, and the starry sky is shaken."
"Maybe you think I'll exaggerate it, but I will never do anything to do on this issue, so... please help us find out the real traitor, Lord Yan Xiaobei Exorcist."
...
A day later, the temple gave us a reply.
It is roughly the same as what Livunz said, but it has concealed a lot, just saying that in order to satisfy us, five people were elected from among us survivors to investigate this matter. As for whom the investigation was, there is no careful explanation.
However, it can be seen that all the exorcists are satisfied with this response.
They are injured and naturally have the right to seek justice and use their own hands.
So, sending those five people to investigate the matter became a topic of discussion among all exorcists. The people argued endlessly about the five people's choices, but there were few unified opinions.
At this moment, someone suggested...
"Since that's the case, let the people who have made the most contributions to this battlefield join the investigation team."
No one will object to this opinion. Those who can take power, that's all.
After having an obvious goal, the debate became much smaller, and many things on the planet of the Beast were discovered. Among them, I became one of the five investigators on the grounds of "every move, killing the apostle in seconds".
On the Beast Planet, many teams have joined forces to kill many apostles, but I am the only one who can kill several apostles with one's own strength.
With this contribution, I can become an investigator.
Although many of them did not believe that I had the ability to kill the apostles in seconds, when the Holy Cloud Sea Team, which I saved, showed a video of my great power, everyone shut up.
So, no one objected to me as an investigator.
I was even given the strange title of "Blade of Sin".
Among countless exorcists, all the exorcists who can have the so-called title are strong people who are above countless exorcists and are admired and worshipped by countless exorcists.
Each of them has an extremely glorious history, and will even leave a very strong mark in history.
Although I believe that I can reach this level in the future, it is really shy to have the so-called title before.
However, titles are not something you can own as long as you want, and it requires the recognition of many exorcists.
At least, within the temple, the name of the Blade of Sin has spread.
After hearing this title, Liuhuo also specially linked the newsletter to congratulate me.
As a team member, he also felt very honored to say that he should work hard in the future to avoid shame or something.
Next, Liye Tower also sent blessings to each other.
The only word "congratulations" in the Tower is the word "congratulations", and Li said a lot of long words. Although she did not ask for the foreword, her blessing heart was still sent to me.
In addition to me, the other four people who are fortunate to be investigators are:
The captain of the Holy Sky Team, Chu Lige.
At the most critical moment, he saved countless broken teams along the way, united them, fought a bloody path with the defeated generals, led them to the peak of the barbarian beast, and was respected by countless exorcists.
The captain of the Holy Thunder Squad, Lei Zheng.
After fighting with us, he changed his past and formed an alliance with the team he encountered on the road. He originally wanted to resist the plunder of our team, but he encountered the apostle and thus exerted his powerful strength.
It can be said that he is very lucky, otherwise he would not have lived until now.
The captain of the Shengfenghua team, Lydia.
After being separated from us, Lydia met the apostle, took the lead in discovering the apostle's conspiracy, and organized attacks again and again, restraining many apostles, and shining brightly in this battle.
The last person is a girl named... Akiyo Mio!~!
