"Take me to see her."

Charles interrupted Kitty and spoke.

"Okay, I'll show you the way."

Kitty quickly lowered her head and stood up, slowly breathing a sigh of relief.

The bishop did not continue to pursue the news of the failed plan, but instead became interested in Adele, which was a good thing for Kitty.

This at least meant that the plan he had just come up with had convinced the bishop and made her feel that it was feasible.

Kitty stared at her feet, and out of the corner of her eye she noticed that the bishop was slowly raising his arm and lightly snapping his fingers.

Two silver lights flashed by, and the letter emblem on the ground and the seal on the bishop's waist all dissipated in the silver light. Kitty could no longer sense their existence.

Oh my god... How many Sealed Objects does this Bishop have on her? Isn't she afraid of any side effects?!

No wonder she always felt that the bishop was so weak. It turned out that he had a lot of sealed objects hanging on his body.

Kitty gathered her thoughts and stopped speculating about the Bishop's specific strength. She walked around the Bishop's position and went to the bookshelf behind the desk. She whispered, "She is currently imprisoned in the dungeon's secret room. I'll take you there."

Two white shadows emerged from Kitty's shadow, grabbed the bookshelf in front of them, and slowly pulled it open.

The huge bookshelf was split in two, revealing a small path made of gray stone bricks in the middle.

One of the white shadows pressed a switch, and kerosene lamps lit up in the secret passage.

Charles followed Kitty at a distance of about seven steps, and walked with her along the winding downward passage.

As Charles walked further down, she felt the temperature around her getting lower and lower, and even breathing made her lungs feel cold.

Fortunately, she had already put away the deadly blood Roland in advance, and her body had gradually warmed up. This temperature change would not cause any problems for Charles.

After feeling like they had descended about five floors, Charles finally followed Kitty to a relatively open area.

This is a large space about the same size as the hall where the Death Roulette was previously located. Three huge pillars support this circular stone hall.

It wasn't as dark and damp as I'd imagined. Apart from the somewhat creepy symbols drawn in blood on the ground, there was nothing strange about it.

Charles discovered that in addition to Kitty's room, there were two other spiral staircases that led to the secret room below.

It looks like this is where they hold worship or sacrifices.

Two white shadows walked in front of Kitty. In the front side of the hall, there was a wooden door - the structure looked similar to a bell tower church.

Charles followed her into the side corridor. Kitty stopped in front of the door of one of the rooms, opened the wooden door with her hand, and walked in.

"Your Excellency, this is Sherren's student Adele."

After entering the room, Kitty pointed at the person imprisoned behind the iron cage and spoke.

Charles strode into the room, turned his head to look in the direction Kitty was pointing, and his pupils shrank slightly.

A semicircular iron frame is connected to a thick wooden frame in the middle and is firmly inserted into the ground. It looks like an Adventist version of a deviant cross.

Thin lines hung down from above, and the silver barbs at the bottom of the lines hooked onto a person's arms in a row, pulling the arms out and pressing them against the cross behind him.

Two thicker hemp ropes were hung on the upper left and right corners of the cage. At the bottom of the hemp ropes, which had been stained black by clotted blood, were two huge black iron hooks. The iron hooks pierced the cheeks and lips of the person on the cross, fixing the person on the cross.

The person hanging on the cross was Adele.

The black hair on Adele's body had long been whipped to pieces, revealing the pale bloody skin underneath.

At this moment, she was standing on tiptoe, stepping on a wooden stool with her head lowered, and seemed to have fallen into a coma.

"As soon as I caught her this morning, I interrogated her immediately."

Kitty turned sideways, making room for him, bowed slightly in Charles' direction, and continued, "Make sure no one else knows about this, Your Excellency."

Charles stared at Adele hanging there with an expressionless face, without any movement.

This is just a simulation.

With the help of [Calm Thinking Lv.2], Ciel, who had died several times in the simulation, did not show any emotional fluctuations.

"wake up!"

Kitty seemed dissatisfied that Adele was still unconscious. The white shadow beside her had already crossed the cage and kicked directly at the wooden bench under Adele's feet.

The wooden stool shook violently, and Adele, who was already struggling to stand on tiptoe, swayed unbalancedly.

"Uh……"

Adele's body shook violently, and the wounds on her arms and mouth were torn again. She woke up in severe pain, opened her eyes, but could not see anything in front of her.

Her eyes were already covered with blood.

Adele didn't dare to struggle, because she knew that if she struggled, the silver and iron hooks with barbs that hooked into her skin and muscles would only make her more painful.

"Where is the Plaguebringer potion?"

Charles looked at Adele in front of him and asked Kitty beside him with an expressionless face.

"Yes! I'll get it right away!"

Kitty was shocked when she heard this.

She knew that the bishop had agreed to her new plan... She had given herself a chance to thrive!

Kitty bowed several times in the direction of the bishop, then quickly walked out of the cage and ran upstairs.

Not until Kitty's footsteps faded from his ears did Charles breathe a sigh of relief, turned around, and stopped looking at Adele's miserable condition behind him.

At this time, Adele's mind was in a mess, but she forced herself to fight the sleepiness in her brain and get her thoughts working again.

Plague...messenger?

They...want to change their ways...brainwash themselves...

Once my path is changed, once I join the Holy Advent Society, I won't be able to save anyone... I don't know how many people I will kill...

Absolutely not.

All Adele could see were two illusory red spots of light from burning kerosene lamps, but those two spots of light just happened to illuminate the figure in the middle with his back to her from the darkness.

Without any hesitation, Adele gathered up her little strength and kicked over the wooden stool under her feet.

laugh--

The silver hook that was tearing at her flesh broke into pieces, and the iron hook at the corner of her mouth was torn apart by gravity and its own weight.

thump—

Adele fell to the ground. She almost used up her last bit of strength and threw the silver hook with a thin line in her hand, which she had pulled off, towards the black shadow in front of her.

And the target was the figure's carotid artery.

Ding--

There was a crisp sound of metal clashing, and Adele used all her strength to strike directly at a black pistol. The silver needle fell to the stone floor and lay quietly.

Even though the "bishop" had his back to her, he seemed to be able to see her movements. He didn't even turn his head and blocked her attack...

A feeling of despair spread in Adele's heart. Black edges began to appear in her blurred vision. The huge amount of blood loss made her likely to faint at any time.

She didn't even have the energy to commit suicide.

Intense regret echoed in her heart. If she could do it again, she would definitely not choose to throw the silver needle, but use it on her own neck...

A faint silver light flashed by, and out of the corner of her eye she saw the figure approaching her, but Adele had no strength to struggle.

The figure squatted in front of Adele, with long gray-blue hair hanging down and swaying in front of Adele. She saw the black shadow and stretched out his hand towards her.

kill me……

Adele wanted to say this, but she no longer had the strength to open her mouth.

suddenly.

A familiar scent of medicine lingered under her nose, and she could feel a little moisture soaking her lips.

She swallowed subconsciously, and the medicine mixed with the blood in her mouth was swallowed by Adele. She could feel that the pain in her body was gradually subsiding.

"It's okay... I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

A soft, familiar voice sounded above Adele's head, but Adele could no longer remember who the voice belonged to.

Although Adele doesn't have a mother, she now thinks that if she had a mother, her voice would be so gentle...

She managed to stay awake and not faint. The recovery effect of the potion had saved her from the near-death state.

Adele was very sure that this potion was made by her own hands.

Each "doctor"'s potion has its own unique formula, and the effects, materials and even taste are very different.

Adele had tasted and tested the "potion" that the bishop gave her to drink countless times, and this effect was obviously the result of Adele's work.

In the Redemption Society, only the potions with the lowest cost and the best value for money are mass-produced and sold. Adele's potions basically use the most expensive materials, and she likes to add some mint to some drinkable potions to make the potions look greener and refreshing and delicious.

Who is it?

Adele really wanted to look up at the "bishop", but the little energy she had recovered was not enough to support her in completing the difficult action of raising her head.

A flash of silver light passed by, and Adele's slightly awakened brain sent a strong spiritual warning. This instinct from the spirit body kept reminding her to give up the urge to look up.

Otherwise, the consequence could very well be death.

"Your Majesty Bishop!"

At this moment, Kitty's voice came from the door.

She trotted to Charles' side and looked down at Adele, who was lying on the ground with her cheek completely torn open.

"You come and baptize her."

Ciel stood up, put the pistol back into his belt, and said as he stood up.

"After drinking the potion and listening to the Mother Goddess's teachings, you will naturally understand the importance of faith."

Ciel said with his back to Adele.

Adele suffered such torture in the simulation that even Charles felt a little sorry for her.

Killing her would make Kitty more likely to suspect Charles, so it would be better to let Adele join the cult in the simulation.

With her current injuries, even if she is brainwashed, she can only recover from them. At least until the end of the simulation, Adele will not suffer any more torture.

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Kitty looked at Charles' back, feeling a little grateful.

The fact that the bishop entrusted the ceremony of baptizing a transcendent being to himself at least meant that Kitty would not be in too much danger in the short term.

Moreover, as long as Adele shows her talent after joining the church, the higher Adele climbs, the more attention Kitty will receive.

This is cultivating yourself.

Kitty didn't waste any time. She controlled the white shadow to get into Adele's shadow, controlled Adele's hand, and took the bottle of potion from Kitty's hand.

But what Kitty didn't expect was that after Adele opened the bottle of potion, she actually opened her mouth and followed the force of the white shadow to pour the potion directly into her mouth.

Ok?

Kitty was puzzled.

What just happened?

Wasn't this girl quite stubborn before? Why did she drink the "Bearer of Plague" potion on her own initiative?

What had just happened in the prison? What had the bishop done to make Adele choose to drink the potion?

This bishop is much more resourceful than he imagined.

Fortunately, everything is moving in a good direction.

After seeing Adele drink the potion, Kitty no longer wasted time and began to chant the prayer.

A circular black mark slowly emerged on the back of Adele's right hand. After she finished reciting the last sentence "Mother Goddess", Adele's expression began to become confused.

Under the impact of the potion and unknown whispers, Adele was also marked by Sardana and became a member of the cult.

Kitty's tense heart finally relaxed a little after she saw the mark on Adele's hand disappear and she fell into a coma.

"Your Excellency, I will arrange for someone to take care of this new family member. From now on, we just have to wait for her to wake up..."

Kitty stood up, lowered her head and turned towards Charles, and spoke.

But Charles spoke directly, interrupting her.
