Chapter 602 The Primitive Moon

Chapter 602 The Primitive Moon

In fact, Fors could somewhat understand the actions of the Rune official team.

Unemployment caused by economic downturn, population loss due to severe smog... the discontent among the common people of Ruen was secretly brewing, and this resentment needed an outlet. The royal family and government departments, naturally unwilling to be attacked, thus guided public opinion, directing all the blame towards their northern neighbor.

So, it all became Fussack's fault.

This barbaric empire's very existence is a mistake. They occupied Sonia Island, seized Rune's colonies in the southern continent, constantly escalated their military power, threatening Rune's survival, causing the nation's economy to stagnate, and every ordinary Rune citizen suffering greatly...

Especially since these two countries have been at odds from the beginning, with centuries of historical grievances, the atmosphere among the people changes immediately whenever the authorities stir things up. After a long day's work, when the poor are drinking cheap alcohol in bars, they also start hurling insults at a country they've never even been to.

However, I heard that Fussack has done something similar...

"Politicians... what a bunch of habitual liars."

Fors stubbed out his cigarette and shook his head in approval.

Her previously good mood had soured. She tossed the newspaper aside, grabbed some manuscript paper, and began to conceive a new piece.

The inspiration I just had is great! Let's start the story of the crazy adventurer with our own hands!

However, like all writers, inspiration, ideas, and creativity are most beautiful when they are brewing in the mind. Once they are put on paper and written down word by word, it becomes a painful ordeal. Facing the blank manuscript paper, Fors unconsciously tugged at his slightly curly brown hair, finding it difficult to put pen to paper.

"Splash—"

'

Fortunately, the door behind her opened at that moment. As if she had been saved, she threw down the manuscript and turned to look at her friend and roommate, Hugh Deercha.

"You're back? How did today's Extraordinary Gathering go?"

Fors asked, seemingly casually inquiring about clues about "Mr. X".

"That's right, I have more important things to do, to help the teacher eliminate the enemy. Writing novels can wait..." she thought to herself, finding an excuse for her laziness.

"That's fine then."

Hugh glanced at her and said, "Recently, Mr. X's gathering place has finally settled down... probably because the authorities couldn't catch him several times in a row and gave up the investigation."

The location has been decided? That's good!

Fors felt a surge of joy. "So where is that new location?"

Mr. Temperance has returned to Backlund, and he's waiting for her to pass on this information... Thinking of this, a hint of eagerness appeared in her eyes.

"What's wrong with you? You look strange."

Hugh looked at her suspiciously.

"It's nothing."

Fors snapped out of her reverie and quickly shook her head. "I was just thinking that I might find the materials for my promotion at the party; I was just getting too excited!"

"Oh, I see..."

Hugh nodded, neither confirming nor denying. "The party is being held at 11 Third Avenue in the Joewood district. Keep an eye out for the Backlund Bridge; if the flag on the tower turns red, it means there's going to be a party the next day... I'm pretty busy lately, you'll probably have to go by yourself..."

"Okay, I've got it all."

Fors nodded repeatedly.

Perhaps I should investigate myself before contacting Mr. Temperance to ensure the information is accurate? But that "Mr. X," Louis Wayne, is using the same methods as me; he might discover me and become suspicious of my connection with the teacher... which could backfire...

"Actually, I wouldn't recommend you go to that party anytime soon."

Just as Fors was struggling with her thoughts, Hugh spoke up again, sounding somewhat worried.

Why?

Fors asked.

"That Mr. X has been acting strangely lately."

With her keen intuition honed through her "sheriff" background, Hugh frowned and said, "There's always this distraction during gatherings, like they're waiting or on guard against something. It's really suspicious..."

Fors was taken aback when he heard this.

What is Louis Wayne on guard against?

Inside an old house in the Backlund Bridge district.

Leonard and his team followed the deacon across the police cordon and into the house. A strong stench of blood immediately filled their nostrils, and the gruesome scene on the floor came into view.

The three victims were completely mangled; their limbs were bent at an abnormal angle, their heads were all facing out the window, and a bright flower was stuck in each of their right eye sockets.

No matter how many times he'd seen it, similar cult ritual scenes always made him feel uncomfortable... Leonard thought to himself, noticing that Deacon Ahab Ishmael was also looking down at the scene.

A moment later, the new deacon turned his head and looked at the team members.

Standing amidst the pool of blood, he began asking questions once more.

"Alright, now can anyone tell me which cult group carried out this bloody sacrifice?"

His gaze lingered among the crowd.

Leonard could feel Sandro next to him suddenly flinch, probably worried about being singled out for questioning again.

To avoid causing his colleague any more trouble, he raised his hand.

"Your Excellency, the scene was extremely gruesome. Flowers were inserted into the deceased's eyes, and his face was turned towards the moon... Based on these circumstances, it should be the Rose School."

That organization was known for its bloody rituals.

"You got it right."

Lu Ze nodded, then continued, "To be more specific, which evil god do they worship?"

"this...

'

Leonard was taken aback.

The "Rose School" worships two evil gods simultaneously; how could he possibly be sure?

"It is the original moon."

"6

Seeing this, Lu Ze said, "Because of the 'Mother Tree of Faith and Desire,' that group will be even more unrestrained... If it were them, the corpses wouldn't be left behind; they would end up in their bellies."

Upon hearing this, the team members all showed expressions of discomfort.

"Alright, let's go."

Lu Ze said, turning to leave.

"Your Mightiness?"

Captain Soster looked puzzled. "Aren't we going to continue the investigation?"

"What are you still doing here?"

Lu Ze was somewhat speechless. "You want to investigate the souls of those dead? They've already been corrupted by the rituals. If you try to communicate with spirits, it will only pollute your own souls."

"But we can't just leave like this, we have to solve the case..."

"You don't necessarily have to stay here to solve the case."

Luze shook his head. "The followers of the 'Primordial Moon' have come to Backlund. There's a group of guys who will care more than we do... We'll just ask them directly."

That's right, he was referring to those vampires.
