Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 175 Red in the Subconscious Ocean

Of course, what that group of people reflected was much more than just that.

And those "untouchables" who are on strike...

However, this was not within the scope of what Krestey needed to consider.

Because, in front of the church, it is the believers who provide their faith, and the church generally does not interfere in these matters.

At most, those "nobles" may help manage this society in this process, which is more convenient.

Moreover, Creste Sesima paused for a few seconds, thinking about the process by which the "True Creator" almost succeeded in coming, and the resentment of Tingen City that he had personally experienced.

He added inwardly:
"The descent of Tingen's true creator and the inexplicable changes in the rituals all point to a problem. The factory district and other places where the poor gather have become hotbeds for the evil gods to descend and breed."

"If the reality is really consistent with what those complaints convey, I'm afraid the cardinals in the church will have to take this matter seriously."

"It just so happens that the secrets that the Kingdom's military had hidden behind Kapin last week can be used as an important bargaining chip. In exchange, the Kingdom can push for the corresponding changes to be realized as soon as possible."

"This time, the information collected by Leonard and Dunn from Tingen as investigators can also be compiled into real data as evidence and reflected to the church at the cardinals' meeting at that time."

But there was one question that still lingered in Krestai's mind:

That is, after the "Ghost Rider" reversed the "True Creator"'s divine descent ritual, did he expect that the resentment would have such an impact on the linked city of Tingen?
Did he do it on purpose or accidentally?

……

On the other side, two people from Tingen City were sent to investigate the situation.

After a period of time, they have been able to initially determine that this ceremony should have no more negative impact on almost all the residents of Tingen.

As for more related issues, such as whether there are hidden dangers under the influence of the evil god - this is not something that Dunn and Leonard, who are Sequence 7, can figure out alone.

In short, this investigation mission can be considered to have come to a temporary end today.

Of course, during this period, Leonard and Dunn were inevitably annoyed by the unreasonable demands of those nobles.
Leonard's face was full of helplessness, and he complained to captain Dunn:
"These people are really rude. Just give the workers a few days off and compensate them appropriately afterwards, but this has touched a sore spot for some people."

“I don’t know whether the ‘channel’ that enables people to empathize with each other created during that ceremony actually worked for these people.”

"After experiencing the difficult life of the poor at the bottom of society, is it possible that there are people who are so stingy?"

Dunn smiled and did not deny Leonard's statement. He was also a little impatient with such a selfish and unreasonable person, especially since he had to take up their time, which was supposed to be spent visiting their comrades' families, to do such things.

Is it just fortunate that there aren’t many “nobles” making these requests?

But Dunn soon frowned again and sighed.

He nodded slightly and said to Leonard:

"At least these are the ones who are still talking and not so stubborn."

"After the ritual was destroyed, the gathered resentment seemed to be magnified for some reason, allowing everyone in Tingen City to feel some of the things that happened to those resentful people before they died."

"It's as clear as if everyone had done some spiritual communication or divination regarding those grievances."

"The final effect is also different. Those who feel guilty or resonate seem to gain some benefits."

"Others who are entangled in resentment are not so lucky."

"Remember that Sir Videl? Haha, the damage those people suffered was even more serious than the trouble he suffered at the beginning."

"Many have completely passed out and are lying at home."

“We didn’t encounter these people just now.”

And these "precious things" lying there are obviously people who pride themselves on their aristocratic status and are unwilling to bow their heads under the accusations of those resentments.

At this point, things had obviously gotten pretty serious, otherwise the church's Night Watchmen would not have been notified urgently.

But if Leonard and Dunn were to comment, they would only think that perhaps these people deserved the suffering they were enduring. Who made these people not even have a conscience that could be called a human being? It was as if they were alienated by something...

Moreover, just as Dunn said, they also saw the positive effects of this ceremony -

Not to mention the things that would reveal the political stance, they also tacitly avoided mentioning the strike over there.

Let’s just talk about the practical things.

For example, they saw a homeless man who had been suffering from illness for many years, and his physical condition miraculously improved, as if someone had restored him with the healing effect of ritual magic.

Is this caused by those resentments?
——But this is just the spiritual remnant caused by the most difficult emotions before human death, it shouldn’t have such an impact...

Each "death grudge" is so tiny that even if it accumulates in number, it is impossible for it to cause such a large-scale impact on reality and the city of Tingen.

Unless, unless there is a stronger and more persistent core that turns them into a whole.

Is this due to the "mutation" of the ritual? Is it related to the power of the gods?
In short, these speculations also troubled both Dunn and Leonard.

After all, even if it is a resentful soul or an evil spirit, it is difficult to have such an effect, let alone just some resentment.

Adhering to the principle of impartiality, Dunn also tried to dispel the negative effects of those "precious objects" who had already fainted - setting up altars around them and using ritual magic to remove the remaining resentment.

However, those resentments seemed to have dissipated, and those who were affected seemed to have been knocked unconscious by another force that they could not handle.

It is foreseeable that those people who are entangled by those resentments will inevitably suffer from repeated nightmares and will not have peace in the days to come.

Dunn and Leonard felt no guilt about recording it in the report.

They have done everything they should do.

Regarding the experiences of these people, Dunn and Leonard reached a consensus:
The thoughts of these people are worthy of the suffering they have endured...

After the investigation is completed, Dunn and Leonard will go to comfort the family of their deceased comrade Klein.

Where would they have so much time to waste with them to "guard" something? The church is not under their jurisdiction, and the church itself even has the right to restrain them from acting recklessly.

And the rest.

Dunn and Leonard couldn't help more.

Because of mysticism, if you don’t know, you don’t know.

Of course, this is indeed beyond their capabilities.

……

In the ocean of collective subconsciousness.

The solid, fuzzy, grey "ground" has rays of light and shadows swaying and cruising above it. They are dense and overlapping, just like an illusory sea, floating and rippling.

This is a boundless spiritual world that connects all living beings.

In the illusory ocean formed by the collective subconscious of all living beings, every drop of dark water here is like a ray of light and shadow, and seems to represent a point of consciousness and a brand.

The consciousness in every soul is making certain exchanges with the sea of ​​collective subconsciousness.

Each spirit has left behind a deep level of consciousness that cannot be grasped or explored by ordinary people, constituting a tiny part of this place.

At some point, a figure in a simple white robe appeared here. He had light-colored pupils, a light golden beard, a warm and reserved expression, and a cross pendant on his chest, just like an ordinary priest.

Looking at the red waves rising in front of him, the man dressed as an ordinary priest almost lost his amiable smile on his face.

He raised his eyebrows frivolously, and finally held the script in his hand and sighed imperceptibly.
