Chapter 202 After Dawn
Perhaps because the moon did not appear all night, the sunrise the next day came earlier than usual.

The bright yellow sunlight pierces the dawn, the fog on the streets dissipates, and the warm sun shines on people, bringing warmth and hope.

Compared with the white light caused by 1-175 in the first half of the night, the real sun appears so peaceful and brings peace to people.

The members of the Lighthouse Squad carried Old Neil's body on their way back to the church.

On both sides of the street are people who are gazing devoutly at the First Sun. They were not able to evacuate in time during this incident, and were enveloped by the aura of faith of 1-175. They have become loyal believers of the evil god.

Suzuki Sonoko looked at this ridiculous scene and felt a little depressed.

The role-playing progress of "The Apprentice" has been advanced.

"Apprenticeship" is not about just absorbing knowledge, but about observing and thinking more.
You will end up like Old Neil, and end up being lost.

She tapped her chest unconsciously and whispered, "Praise Scarlet."

The greatest impact of this disaster was not the material losses, but the great turmoil it caused to the situation in the old city.

The Scarlet Church's Backlund headquarters sent back a message that the bishop originally stationed in Tingen would return soon, and would bring with him a reliable team of "Night Walkers". The "Night Walkers" were the judges of faith and discipline within the Scarlet Church. Unlike the areas that the Lantern Bearers were responsible for maintaining social order, they symbolized the absolute supremacy of the Scarlet Faith.

After Old Neil's undercover identity is exposed, the Scarlet Church will launch a large-scale internal review. All members of the Lantern Bearer Team will be required to undergo divination and memory screening. During this period, Dunn's position as captain will be temporarily abolished, and all his power in Tingen will be temporarily transferred to the new followers. After the arrival of the bishop, the internal investigation will officially begin.

Although the faith aura of 1-175 was terminated, a large number of residents were still affected during the few hours it lasted. Currently, many residents of the old town have obviously lost their trust in the Scarlet Church, and the Lantern Bearers have been ordered to stop all activities and wait for the church's faith inventory. There is no way to deal with this situation.

In the Scarlet Church, Vermouth also felt a sense of powerlessness.

Having noticed that a High-Sequence Expert was involved in this conspiracy, she sent a signal for help to the Church of Fools and the Church of Wisdom, but they were slow to send anyone to support her. Instead, they symbolically sent a few teams of Beyonders, who lingered outside the "Faith Halo" of 1-175 for a long time, using the excuse of "being unable to break through the influence of the Level 1 Seal" to not put in any effort.

This excuse is totally disingenuous.

The disadvantages of not having a high-sequence person in charge are more evident.

Now that everything is over, the patrol team of the Church of Fools has entered the old city on the pretext of "protecting the people". They quickly set up a temporary prayer house, conducted anti-evil god classes, and provided faith guidance to the affected local residents to prevent the further fermentation of evil god beliefs.

As for whether the "corrected" faith is the Fool or Scarlet.
Who knows?

At the same time, the Church of the Knower also dispatched an elite team of "pioneers" to the old city with technological support.

"Captain Yuzhong, the new research results of His Excellency the Favorer have been installed in all streets."

Vodka listened to the report from Alger Wilson, his capable assistant in the team, and nodded.

The so-called new research results are the "extraordinary monitoring network" updated and promoted by the bald and fat follower of their Church of the Knowers. By properly distributing and placing the "spiritual sensors", they can monitor abnormal spiritual fluctuations in real time, greatly improve patrol efficiency and save manpower.

But I never thought that one day Vodka could become the "big brother"
Vodka pinched his thigh not too obviously, suppressed the curled corners of his mouth, and nodded calmly, indicating that he understood.

Alger finished his report and quickly went back to work.

Vodka looked at the tablet in his hand. All the data monitored by the monitoring network that had been built would be transmitted back to him.

The blind spots of vision and monitoring angles of the pioneers are also very clear.

When we get to reality, I'll give all these to my brother. It should be helpful to him.

Well, he is a qualified traitor.

When passing by a roadside shop, Vodka moved his ears slightly and heard some of their conversation.

"Do you know the 'wandering saint' who was around here before?"

"I know, I know. Several times when evil spirits appeared, those lamp bearers didn't come. Fortunately, a saint saved me. You don't know, just one shot, 'bang', the evil spirit was purified."

"I heard that he often wears a dirty black robe, and no one knows his true appearance."

"This is probably a kind of practice of saints. They do not seek material enjoyment, but only devout faith. He has the breath of the Lord. He must be sent by the Lord to save us."

"Shh, someone's coming."

Vodka wanted to listen more, but he saw that they noticed his presence and their eyes became alert. He couldn't stay any longer, so he left.

After converting to Christianity, these residents have become very wary of people from the Orthodox Church, which is a rather serious problem.

But it has nothing to do with him.

The reconstruction of the old city is a rather urgent issue. Not long ago, a charity organization was spontaneously formed by the public, but it subsequently received a huge injection of capital and was renamed the "Suzuki Charity Foundation."

This is naturally the work of Suzuki Sonoko.

With the excellent sense of smell of being born into a chaebol family, she quickly realized the impact that the Church of Fools and the Church of Wisdom would have if they settled in the old city, and made a quick decision. She used economic means to win over neutral people, and secretly purchased large-scale arms from the Church of Wisdom in the name of the foundation, thus guaranteeing the future of the Lantern Bearer Team. This basically formed a closed loop of "converting economy into power", avoiding the people's rejection of the Orthodox Church.

The upcoming "Night Walkers" and "Faith Inventory" make her very worried.

In particular, she couldn't understand why the Scarlet Church would simply "contain" something like 1-175. After seeing the impact it had caused, she felt even more uneasy.

What does faith mean to the gods?
Why is the evil god regarded as an evil god?

What does this extraordinary path symbolize?
Aurora Sanctuary.

Kuroba Kaito handed the holy emblem to the fortune teller. He couldn't carry this thing with him because the temperature would gradually increase over time. Even with his high temperature resistance, he still found it difficult to bear.

"Where is the undercover agent?" He looked at Gin who returned alone and frowned.

"His faith is not firm." Gin sneered, "After being a rat for a long time, he really becomes short-sighted."

Kuroba Kaito's heart sank.

It seems that Mr. Kurosawa is determined to stick with the Aurora Society until the end, and he mostly uses his real face when he appears in public.

He still wanted to leave a way out for himself. With the convenient ability of disguise, he had a lot of room to advance and retreat between low sequences.

Kuroba Kaito silently became more vigilant.

He didn't want to be abandoned or even backstabbed one day just because Mr. Kurosawa said "you don't have firm faith".

Gin could see his concerns, but he had no interest in his thoughts.

In this operation, he has realized a principle.

"Spark" means to burn into ashes everything that hinders its blazing burning.

This has been confirmed by the significant progress in digestion.

"That's really sad news." The fortune teller put away the holy emblem, sighed, and showed regret, "Another Lamb is lost."

"Although this operation failed, our basic goal has been achieved, so it is not without gain."

He tapped his cane, drawing the two men's attention.

"I believe that you have gained your own experience and understanding of the role of 'Fire', and it won't be long before you can achieve promotion."

"You can secretly guide the lambs who have returned to the right path. This is also a benefit to your role."

Kuroba Kaito can use his unique disguise skills and the affinity of "Spark" to disguise himself as an ordinary citizen and secretly develop Aurora Society believers among those who have not been converted, which can greatly increase their actual control over the old city.

Gin, on the other hand, was secretly inciting the unemployed workers who had changed their beliefs to unite, providing them with weapons and shaking the rule of the Orthodox Churches.

The old city seems to be peaceful on the surface, but in fact there are undercurrents.

The authority of the Crimson Church has been damaged, the Aurora Society is dormant and weaving its web, the fools and the wise are eyeing it covetously, and the civilian forces that have not chosen to join the Orthodox Church are trying to survive in the cracks.

No one knows when the next storm will break out.
