Devil's Bible

Chapter 185 The scapegoat

“White?” In a house not far from the church, near the southern district, Rhine couldn’t help but frown.

The news of the White House attack spread rapidly and was quickly linked to the earlier attack on the Nyton Estate.

Because they were all attacked by individuals with unknown identities.

In the past, even if something happened in Baiwei Town, it mostly happened in the southern district.

Those living in the North District are mostly wealthy and powerful, so few dare to cause trouble, and most are eliminated as soon as they do.

This time was different; two attacks in succession made the matter even more widely known.

Rhein took off his glasses and wiped the dust off them.

He knew about the White Chamber of Commerce, and he even had someone investigate it.

The final conclusion was that the Bai Te Chamber of Commerce had not overstepped its bounds; they were simply trying to monopolize the fruits and vegetables in Baiwei Town.

This may create considerable wealth, but the church will also consume a lot of food in the process.

Furthermore, such chambers of commerce are not irreplaceable.

If the White House Chamber of Commerce causes trouble, the church can replace it at any time.

Bai Te? Judging from the current situation, he's just a young man who's only been in the steel industry for a few years.

“But if the group that attacked the White Merchant Guild was indeed the same group that attacked the Niton family before, then White is very likely hiding its strength.” Rhine immediately noticed the problem.

Although the patriarch of the Nidon family was old and suffering from old injuries, he was not someone that an ordinary Ironborn could easily take advantage of.

How could Bai Te, a newly promoted son of a merchant guild, be unharmed in an attack? This doesn't match the strength he's displayed.

Of course, all of this is currently just Rhein's speculation.

What really struck Rhein as odd was that whenever he heard the name White again, he always felt a sense of familiarity.

However, it is certain that this feeling of familiarity does not mean that I have ever heard or seen this name before.

His memory wouldn't be that bad, which is why he had someone investigate the name after hearing it.

"So, does the word 'white' have some symbolic meaning?" Rhine once again flipped through the languages ​​he knew, but didn't find much.

The word "Bai Te" doesn't carry much meaning in human languages, demon languages, elven languages, dragon languages, or any other less common languages.

"Perhaps it originates from some obscure language I don't know, or perhaps its meaning comes from some kind of personal creation." Rhine frowned, vaguely taking the word "White" to heart.

Rhine knew that his intuitions were all reasonable.

In the White House attack, he was more concerned with the word "White House" than with the identity of the attackers, which means that his inspiration was prompting him.

Given his keen perception, which is now only one step away from reaching the Gold level, anything that could give him a hint must be related to his promotion.

While Rhine was suspicious of White, Nems had confirmed some information.

“Under the current circumstances, the identity of a Demon Warlock is basically a one-man show.” Nemus simplified the situation, treating it like a game of Werewolf.

Then you can discover the problems.

While Rhine is suspicious, the Holy Son's identity and behavior strongly suggest that he has a problem, but he is not a demon sorcerer.

As for White, he is also suspicious and may also have some kind of purpose, but the power system he displayed last night is that of a life-side cultivator with rare spatial characteristics, so he cannot be a demon warlock.

In the classic three-choice scenario, after eliminating the other two, it seems that the remaining pitfall can only fall on his shoulders.

The head of a noble family—Czech de Ben.

As a noble family that is not top-tier, but not small either.

This family, however, has few members in the church.

Currently, only four people hold positions in the church.

And basically, there are no internships or full-time positions, not even a small team leader position. That's a bit too low-key.

On its own, the problem isn't too big, but when combined with the observation of the first suspected target, Jekd Ben, the identity of this demon warlock is basically revealed.

Therefore, after discovering White's problem last night, Nems realized the problem with 'Ben', and thus made Od abandon the probing operation.

"Good, good, good. These days, you can't survive in Baiwei Town without some special means." Nemus couldn't help but sigh, looking at the current power distribution in Baiwei Town.

Rhine is a failed Holy Son, currently closely connected with the Grand Master, and is seeking to be promoted to a Gold Seed.

Bai Te's identity is mysterious, and he possesses extremely rare spatial characteristics.

He is the head of a noble family, and on the surface he is a wizard, but in reality he is a demon sorcerer. He has also secretly supported the cult group, the Floating World Society.

The Dartmenley family, with the bloodline of saints, possesses a family sacred artifact, but it contains some unknown calamity. They have also brought back their holy son.

Isabella, a holder of a special bloodline, is an extremely talented priest with a rapid growth rate. Whether in terms of intellect or strength, she is absolutely remarkable.

The former Great Knight Xibin, a fairy bloodline holder, secretly plotted the course of history, hoping to become a legendary species.

Then it was Naim's turn.

He himself didn't say it, but his subordinate, Kru Kru, was a high-level demon bloodline holder, born with one soul and two bodies.

Becky, a mad alchemist of unknown origin, has an extreme passion for knowledge.

Poole and Towns are monster-level combatants that he created single-handedly.

Even Op is considered a rare summoning wizard.

Leah is an unprecedented whale-like mutant.

Even Nems couldn't help but marvel at how, in the small town of Baiwei, there were countless immortals.

But the more this is the case, the more interesting things become.

The more excited Nemus became, the more calmly he analyzed the situation in Tailtail Town.

It seems that Baiwei Town has many talented people and numerous chess players.

I have a certain advantage in this regard.

However, this advantage is not very significant, at least not enough to overwhelm other individuals.

"So, before that, we need to let some people leave the field first, and then I will absorb their nutrients and develop again."

Nems squinted.

Meanwhile, Op and the others were also asking whether the plan targeting the 'Ben' family should be modified or abandoned altogether.

"You can leave some traces around there."

“I think I’ve found a perfect scapegoat,” Nems laughed.

In the construction of the fictitious protocol, he abandoned the peripheral forces of the fictitious protocol.

Aside from the fact that these peripheral systems are largely useless, there is another reason, namely, the demon warlock.

He secretly reached agreements with many peripheral members and spread the method of absorbing desires and turning them into demons.

The reason why Nemus did not deal with it immediately was partly because the opponent was well hidden, and Nemus had difficulty catching its true form every time it made a move.

On the other hand, it's also to leave someone to take the blame.

Now it's his turn to make a difference.
