The newly added light screen in the sky lit up with a "whoosh," and without any further buildup, the scene of the underground chamber was directly displayed to everyone on the entire continent.

A murmur of discussion immediately broke out among the crowd.

"What kind of place is that? It looks creepy!"

"Is it underground at the church? Look at those two pastors!"

Someone pointed at the light screen and shouted.

In the scene, two white-robed priests, expressionless, carry a swaddled baby and walk heavily into a secret room. Suddenly, the baby girl in the swaddled baby cries, and her soft, sweet cry floats in the air through the light screen.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone on the continent, the baby girl was placed into the obsidian coffin.

In the human empire, a woman holding a child had tears in her eyes.

"What are such young children going to do?"

The image on the light screen quickly provided an answer.

The priest picked up a holy pen, dipped it in holy paint, and drew a pattern on the baby's delicate skin, golden lines crawling all over the child's limbs.

Many people clenched their fists upon seeing this.

Immediately afterwards, a blood-red fragment of a soul was roughly pressed into the baby girl's body, and the child's cries instantly became shrill.

Her pink skin turned bluish-black at a visible speed, and her small body trembled incessantly.

"Wah... Waaah..."

The baby's cries came from the stone coffin, and many people felt choked up just hearing them.

The priest in the light screen was simply looking down and recording something, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

The scene is still moving forward.

Amidst the baby's wailing, its body gradually became translucent, eventually dissipating into fine wisps of light.

The priest next to the sarcophagus spoke calmly to the crystal for taking photos, as if he were talking about everyday matters.

"Experiment failed. The 639th fragment of Soul No. 26 has been consumed. The experimental subject and soul have been completely assimilated. There is no experimental value. Report and destroy immediately."

"experiment?!"

The entire audience erupted in uproar, with some shouting in disbelief.

"Are they using children as experimental subjects?"

"Those are children! How dare they do that?!"

"I...I don't believe it, this couldn't have been done by the church!"

……

Similar sentiments were echoing across the mainland.

The representatives of various ethnic groups in the conference room, displayed on another light screen, were also shocked.

Clearly, they hadn't expected the gift Lin Mo had mentioned to be so substantial.

They could all guess the reactions across the mainland when they saw this footage.

Just then, Zhiyun, who was being dragged by the hair by Lin Mo and looked extremely disheveled, suddenly spoke up loudly.

"Don't believe it, everyone! This is Lin Mo's conspiracy! He forged the photograph to frame the Vatican and confuse the public!"

boom!

"what!"

Lin Mo kicked Zhi Yun in the leg, breaking his kneecap.

Zhiyun's face was covered in cold sweat.

However, several human lords behind Lin Mo spoke up.

"That's right! That must be it! It's perfectly normal for a demon like you to do something like this!"

"Trying to smear the Vatican! Your ambition is too great! Only a fool would believe you!"

"Someone come quick! Destroy the crystal! We can't let him run rampant!"

……

These people excitedly began to denounce Lin Mo.

But Lin Mo merely glanced at them indifferently and waved his hand lightly.

bass!

The black sword was drawn.

A flash of sword light streaked across the conference room.

Half a second later, *thud thud thud*, the knees of those lords who had just started shouting broke simultaneously.

"what!"

It was only then that they realized their lower legs were broken.

They knelt on the ground, wailing in agony.

Lin Mo said coldly, "You're better suited to kneeling."

After saying that, he ignored her and dragged Zhiyun to the window again.

But these words had already been spoken and transmitted to everyone on the mainland through another light screen.

"That's right! This must have been a show arranged by Lin Mo! He hired a few actors to pretend to be pastors and staged this whole thing just to fool us and clear his name!"

"That's right! I think it's fake! Otherwise, why would he be in such a hurry to make a move?"

"Lin Mo is a demon to begin with. What 'revealing evil'? He might have done these things himself and then framed the Vatican!"

"That makes sense. What if it really was acted? One clip doesn't prove anything!"

……

Such questions can be heard on the streets of various countries, and are not uncommon.

For a time, it drowned out voices questioning the Vatican.

On the streets of the human empire, a group of ministers stood with the common people and began to discuss the matter.

"Your Majesty is foolish. You acted too quickly. You should have waited. Now you are at a disadvantage."

"Yes, just a photo, no evidence, that's not enough."

"Your Majesty should bring that evidence back and discuss it with us before taking action. It wouldn't be too late."

……

Just then, a sharp shout rang out.

"A bunch of cowards! When has His Majesty ever done anything he wasn't sure of? Does His Majesty need to consult you before making any decisions?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned around angrily, but upon seeing the speaker, they instantly fell silent.

"Lord Hunter Axe, you've arrived."

The newcomer was none other than Hunter Axe, who stood on the street carrying a giant axe, a confident expression on his face.

He pointed a finger at Lin Mo on another screen: "See that? His Majesty's expression clearly predicted this."

Everyone looked up and saw Lin Mo still looking calm, raising his chin and looking at the golden dragon warrior on the tower.

As if receiving a command, the golden dragons picked up the second image crystal without hesitation and infused it with dragon power.

"What do you mean? There's a second one?"

I don't know who said this, but it's what most people on the mainland think.

The live broadcast screen was positioned directly above the sky, so the view on the rooftop was not visible through the screen, and ordinary people had no idea how many of the recording crystals were actually there.

The light screen in the sky switched instantly, and the scene was still the underground chamber, only on a larger scale.

A dozen or so priests in white robes stood together, with more than a dozen swaddled babies in front of them.

"Look! There are even more children!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

Inside the light screen, a pastor was giving instructions to the people around him.

"Speed ​​up! The experimental data His Holiness the Pope needs must be gathered as soon as possible, without any mistakes."

The other pastor nodded.

"Rest assured, this baby is of excellent quality, and the experimental results will certainly satisfy His Holiness the Pope."

Upon hearing the words "His Holiness the Pope," someone frowned.

"Are they talking about the Pope of the High Tower?"

An old believer murmured.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! His Holiness the Pope is a symbol of holiness, how could he allow them to do such a thing?"

However, the priests in the video were skilled in their movements and spoke in a calm tone, clearly indicating that this was not their first time conducting such an experiment, and it could not be faked by a mere impromptu performance.

Before everyone could finish digesting the information, the golden dragons picked up the third image crystal.

This time, the scene is no longer a secret room, but the council chamber of the Vatican.

Several bishops sat around a table covered with densely packed experimental reports. The leading bishop spoke in a deep voice.

"The experiment is progressing too slowly lately. If we can't find enough babies soon, His Holiness the Pope will be furious."

"A holy nun was caught stealing a baby before. Although the Crusaders gagged the family, the deed was done."

"What are you afraid of? Just say these babies were kidnapped by the Demon King, and frame Lin Mo. This will cover up our experiment and get the whole continent to get rid of him—a win-win situation!"

These words struck like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone hard on the heart.

The voices of dissent grew fainter and fainter, replaced by silence.

People all over the continent held their breath, staring intently at the light screen, their faces filled with disbelief.

In the conference room, those lords who had previously raised questions were now pale-faced and unable to utter a single rebuttal.

Just then, the Dwarf King Tie Xin suddenly pointed at the light screen and spoke excitedly, his voice so loud that it echoed throughout the entire conference room and even reached every corner of the mainland through the live broadcast crystal.

"Isn't that the Weaving Merchant?!"

As Tie Xin's voice rang out, everyone's eyes instantly focused on the light screen.

The side door of the council chamber was pushed open, and a man dressed in the robes of an archbishop walked in.

Its appearance is exactly the same as the woven bag that Lin Mo is dragging in his hand!
