"Ms. M is not a shepherd."
Dunn's casual remark left Lu Ze completely stunned. His mind went blank, as if a dizzying buzzing sound echoed in his head for a moment before gradually fading away.
Not only him, but even Leonard and Sigia seemed a little confused after hearing this.
"Captain, are you kidding me?"
Lu Ze forced a smile. "Don't tease me."
Ms. M used so many extraordinary abilities in front of him, and her flesh magic was so powerful, how could she not be the Shepherd? Could she be a substitute... No, his spiritual intuition clearly told him that the person he killed was definitely the Ms. M he met in Port Enmat!
"Under the current circumstances, I'm not in the mood for jokes."
Dunn said with a deep look in his eyes, "Ms. M isn't even a Mystic... Judging from the characteristics she expelled, she should be a Sequence 6 of the 'Spectator' pathway, a Hypnotist."
She wasn't even a Sequence 6 Mystic...
Lu Ze was stunned. After a long while, he hesitated before speaking:
"Then why would she use extraordinary abilities through other means...?"
"It's because of this extraordinary item."
Dunn took something out of his pocket and showed it to him. It was a large rose ring, gleaming red under the gaslight.
It's that thing Ms. M is wearing on her hand!
Luzer recalled that from the port of Enmat to Tingen, the woman always wore this exquisite ring on her finger. Because the ring was shaped like a rose, Luzer had always assumed it was an ornament related to the belief in a true creator, never expecting it to be such an extraordinary item!
Lu Ze's mind was hazy, and he vaguely heard Dunn's voice coming from somewhere:
"We've done some initial testing on this ring and discovered it possesses the abilities of 'herding' and 'flesh magic.' It's currently herding at least one 'witch,' one 'magician,' and one 'arsonist'... How does it match up with your combat experience?"
Lu Ze nodded blankly.
The woman who was initially convinced she was a shepherd turned out to be not only not a shepherd, but even belonged to another order... Her disguise was incredibly sophisticated. Looking back now, when faced with Edward's questioning in Port Enmat, Ms. M only said she wasn't the Rose Bishop, never claiming to be a shepherd.
No wonder her "mind manipulation" ability is significantly stronger than her other abilities, because it is her own unique power!
Even those who are not extraordinary through the secret path of prayer can become believers in the true Creator, and even rise to the high position of divine messenger...
Luze figured some things out, but the biggest puzzle remained unresolved.
?
What exactly is Ms. M's purpose in doing this?
Now that she is dead, and even her characteristics have been completely extracted, this mystery will probably go to hell with her and never be solved.
...Lu Ze, are you listening? Lu Ze!
"I am here!"
He was startled and quickly shouted.
Looking up, he saw Dunn looking at him. "Anyway, things have come to this point, and I will report the truth to the Holy See. You were threatened..."
"The forced promotion to 'The Listener'; the unauthorized actions in hunting down Mrs. Sharon; and what happened tonight... As for how the Holy Church will handle it, I can't guarantee."
His expression dimmed slightly as he spoke the last sentence.
"You've ended up like this because of my incompetence as the team leader; I failed to notice it in time, and I should apologize to you..."
"Don't overthink it, Captain."
Luze stopped Dunn, "Although I've advanced to Sequence 8, so far I'm fine, it's not as serious as you're making it out to be."
Dunn once said that those who ascended to the status of "listeners" would inevitably slide into the abyss of depravity, becoming utter servants and fanatics of the true creator. However, because of the existence of that tide, although Luze could often hear voices, he was immune to the large amount of pollution brought by the language and maintained his mental stability.
Dunn shook his head:
"That's not the case... After all, you've only just been promoted... Although you appear the same as before, something inside you has been subtly changed. From now on, it's hard to say whether you can still be with us."
Captain, why won't you believe me...?
Lu Ze was speechless.
He really wanted to explain, but Dunn had already subjectively concluded that his perception had changed. No matter what he said, he couldn't change Dunn's mind. It's like running down the street and explaining to strangers that you're not crazy; the more you explain, the more people think something's wrong with you.
"Captain, I have an idea."
Leonard, who had been quietly observing their exchange, suddenly spoke up, "Why don't we just let him curse the true creator?"
The people on the ground were stunned at the same time.
What is Leonard saying...? Hmm, that makes sense. Even the most deeply hidden cultists can't utter profanities towards the evil god they worship.
Luzer was initially shocked by Leonard's unreliability, but then realized the feasibility of the method.
So he cleared his throat and said to Dunn, who was looking over:
"The true creator is a madman who keeps talking incessantly, hanging upside down all day. His brain has been filled with blood for too long and he's become an idiot."
The underground area fell silent instantly, and everyone stared wide-eyed.
Why are you looking at me like that...?
Lu Ze felt a little uneasy.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Leonard burst out laughing first, followed by Sigia covering his mouth and bending over. Even the usually composed Dunn showed a rare smile on his face.
"Haha! You're out of your mind! Lu Ze, what made you think of something like that!"
Leonard laughed without any grace, "I can't take it anymore, I'm going to tell this to everyone!"
The Night Watchers had always been extremely wary and cautious when facing evil gods. Lu Ze's sudden, unexpected insult to the true creator from such a bizarre angle caught them completely off guard. The empty underground space was instantly filled with a joyful atmosphere.
"Okay, I believe you."
Once everyone calmed down, Dunn's face also relaxed considerably. "I'll report this to the Holy See as well; it should earn you some points."
"Yes, Captain."
Luze nodded. "And how is Cecilia?"
His sister had been left upstairs by the night watchman and had been separated from him for some time, which worried him.
"She insists that she is the mastermind and wants to take the blame for you."
Dunn said.
Why is she doing something silly again...?
Lu Ze was both helpless and touched. "Captain, she was dragged into this by me. Don't make things difficult for her."
"Yes, I know that Cecilia is what you're most worried about."
Dunn said in a deep voice, "I will do everything I can to help her."
"Thank you, Captain."
Lu Ze breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back in his chair.
Forget it, whatever Ms. M's purpose is, at least Cecilia is safe, so my efforts weren't in vain. As for how the Holy Church will deal with me, let them do what they want.
