Chapter 134 Ghostly Cries to Catch Ghosts
They ignored what methods Isabella used to get the old guard on the adjudication team to agree.

Although that old antique was made of steel, it was quite old.

He was stubborn and resolute.

But it is only when I see someone who is similar in age that I feel a stirring in my heart.

Isabella basically fulfills anyone's fantasy of a youthful, idealized version of their ideal woman.

Even if you haven't met someone like that before, when you see Isabella, you can't help but think about what it would be like if you had someone like that in your youth.

The gentle passage of time perfectly describes someone like Isabella.

As expected, Isabella successfully gained the old man's approval that very night and acquired knowledge about sealing magic arrays and related matters.

Little Bi was sealed inside Mocania's body, and Mocania, in a way, benefited from this misfortune and became a prospective member of the Judgment Team.

The following day, with the small bi inside Mocania as a witness, Isabella provided Nems with a report on the issues related to the fabricated agreement.

Subsequently, the organization known as the Fictitious Agreement, which had existed in the Southern District for six months, was officially recognized by all clergy, and the danger of the Fictitious Agreement was also confirmed.

"So, the Berserk Accessories, this originally immature mental enhancement device, has been updated to the second generation and then spread?" Nemus looked at the report seriously, then looked at Rhine sitting next to him.

Although Nemus himself knew that the Rampage accessories had been updated to the fourth generation, the total number of accessories that had been ported from the first to the fourth generation was currently 360.

However, he still earnestly asked Rhine, "Your Excellency, didn't you discover this during the intelligence gathering work?"

“Ah, Miss Isabella’s perception is special. Even when I went to investigate, I could only detect about twenty so-called berserk accessory type I.” Rhine shook his head, his face expressionless.

"The upgraded berserk accessory has obviously enhanced the concealment of mental power, making it almost indistinguishable from orthodox meditation."

Orthodox meditation will calm and stabilize the mind, preventing it from actively displaying itself. Therefore, even a steel-type being cannot detect whether a black stone-type being has ever practiced meditation.

This is where the advantage of mental strength lies.

For this reason, users of the Rampage Accessory II, who have synchronized this advantage, are not so easy to spot.

Only someone with Isabella's special perception could detect that something was wrong.

“In that case, the adjudication team proposes to enter a state of high alert and conduct close monitoring of the entire city…” The representative of the adjudication team said this immediately.

When the Floating World Society was exposed, the Judgment Team entered a Level 3 alert state. Under that state, the Judgment Team was basically able to detect most of the events that were happening in the entire Tail Tail Town, to the point that the smuggling of whale products had to stop.

Under Level 1 alert, the grids along the city's main thoroughfares and in certain special locations will be activated, and any unusual activity by individuals in these areas will be detected.

For example, speeds that surpass those of ordinary people, or projected mental energy, etc.

These anomalies will be detected by the adjudication team, and they will be dispatched quickly.

This state of alert requires the activation of the grid, necessitating the casting of special divine spells that consume stored faith over a prolonged period.

Therefore, it cannot be opened on ordinary days.

“It’s not that time yet.” The first to object was Rhine.

Once on high alert, the power of the adjudication team increases dramatically.

“Yes! In less than a year, we’ve been on high alert twice. How will the City of Qiquan view us?” A priest of the Iron Race immediately chimed in.

However, as soon as he uttered those words, he was met with a death stare from Rhine.

Then Rhine said seriously, "Currently, the focus is on the Berserk Part II and the fact that it can absorb desires to form artificial demons."

“But these people are still in a state of infiltration. Only Isabella can observe them.” “Once we go on high alert, it will only allow these infiltrating agents to hide even deeper and become even harder to find.”

"So we first formed a team to investigate the fabricated agreement thoroughly, and then concentrated our efforts to solve the problem."

With Rhine providing this answer, the matter was essentially settled, and a special team was to be formed to conduct an in-depth investigation.

This method is used to lull the fictitious agreement into a false sense of security, allowing sufficient intelligence to be gathered before imposing a city-wide alert.

“But there’s still one problem,” Nemes suddenly said. “I think it’s unusual that the Fictitious Protocol could remain hidden in the Southern District for so long, always being considered a small organization.”

As soon as Nems finished speaking, everyone was stunned. They all understood the meaning behind Nems' words.

That means there's a demon within the church.

Whether intentionally or for some other reason, after Nems finished speaking, his gaze gradually turned to Rhine.

"The fictitious agreement evolved from the remnants of the Floating World Society."

"As for the Floating World Society, there is still one question that we have not yet solved."

"That's the well used to refine the golden elixir. Someone has to use it to refine this stuff, right?"

"But so far, none of the members of the Floating World Society we have captured meet the requirements."

As he spoke, Nemus kept looking at Rhine, as if trying to see through her.

As Nems made his pointed remark, some people present couldn't help but look at Rhine.

After all, Rhine does sometimes seem a bit strange.

"Is the Grand Knight questioning my qualifications as a bishop?" Rhine remained unconcerned by the gaze and instead made his point clear.

"No, it's just that I've occasionally observed that Bishop Rhine sometimes goes out in a hurry, so I have some suspicions." Nemus didn't hide anything and expressed his suspicions about Rhine.

“That’s a church secret.” Rhine paused for a moment, then gave a reason that wasn’t really a reason.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

“I am a bishop, and there are some things I have special authority to do without telling you. If you really have doubts, then go to the tribunal to initiate trial proceedings.” Rhine was quite assertive about this.

"Ah, it's good that you're not the one behind the Floating World Society." Nemus nodded and didn't continue the topic.

Nemus wasn't entirely sure about the true identity of that demon warlock.

Rhine is one of the suspects.

First of all, there aren't many people in this city who possess that kind of ability, and Rhine is one of them.

Secondly, on the night Angel A established the fictitious agreement, Rhine hurriedly went out and was subsequently attacked by the demon sorcerer.

While it may be a coincidence, it is certainly a point of suspicion.

In addition, Rhine has always been quite mysterious, which is why Nems took the opportunity to bring this up.

However, Rhine's answer now allows Nems to essentially rule out Rhine as a suspect.

The others, however, lacked Nems's keen senses and instead felt a genuine sense of wariness and suspicion towards Rhine.
