The villain's goal is to save the heroine

Well, because the Ice Heart Pendant brought up an angry issue, Latia was indeed the first person from the church to contact him.

Chapter 285 The Church’s Suspicion

Lynn doesn't have much affection for the church, but he doesn't hate it either. It's just a product of a particular society and a particular period. All he can say is that its existence is reasonable.

However, Lynn was hostile to Seaberg as a person.

In other words, for players who have played "Fallen Girl", it is impossible for them to have any good feelings towards Seaberg.

Latia's degeneration into rbq was the sinister work of this man.

He transformed from a righteous clergyman into a disgusting villain with a dirty mind. His broken face can even be compared with the twisted Glenn. It can be said that "Lynn" is far behind him!

Even if we put aside the game, Lin En’s goal in reality is to liberate all the heroines.

He has to keep an eye on Latiya and prevent her from falling into depravity, and the biggest obstacle in the way is actually Seaberg!

Yes, even though he seems to get along well with Latia, the solid fact is that Seaberg is naturally the person Latia trusts the most and is closest to!

He and Miss Saint have only known each other for a few days. How can he compare to the feelings that have been built up over ten years?

Lynn is very self-aware about this.

and so…

"Hello." Lin En just nodded lightly at Latia.

How to say it, he felt a little uncomfortable seeing these two people standing together.

Of course, Lin En also knew that this was the result of his inner wickedness, so after Lin En greeted Latiya, his attention immediately turned to the third person beside him...

Nicole.

In the game, the church group mainly consists of Seaberg and Latia. However, there is a very delicate and cute girl standing next to the two of them.

The character who used to be a supporting role with Nat in this game has now transformed into the church's reserve saint.

Her face was less aggressive now, and she wore a loose robe, her demeanor clearly showing a more peaceful cleric's demeanor. However, the look she gave Lin En was frighteningly cold. Although she no longer roared like before, deep within her eyes was still a lingering resentment, a fact that hadn't changed in the slightest even after entering the church.

She must still be thinking about revenge, right?

Even if there was a connection with the "Dead Soul Fire", it was also a fact that her mother and brother were killed, so there was absolutely no way she could forgive him, right?

Well, that doesn't matter.

He couldn't care less about the revenge of a little girl. In any case, it would take at least three to five years for the other party to really have that ability, right?

Three to five years, it’s hard to say whether he can survive this year, so how can he care about what will happen three to five years later?

If possible, he hopes that the other party will have such an opportunity.

Lin En turned his gaze away from Nicole and finally returned to Seaberg, and asked, "So, what does Bishop Seaberg want to see me about?"

He said this with a very calm expression, without revealing any of the hostility hidden in his heart.

Upon hearing this, Seaberg bowed to him. "Yes, as the Saint said, we must express our sincere gratitude for your recent cooperation with the Church. Mr. Lin may not feel it, but with our joint efforts over the past few days, the number of 'Dead Soul Fire' incidents that broke out last night has dropped to single digits. The Witch Cult's attempt to create evil spirits has been effectively curbed."

"It is not good?"

"That's true in theory, but..." Seaberg pulled out a beautiful crystal object from his arms. "This is the 'prophecy' crafted by the Virgin Mary. Even now, it still warns me that the crisis we're facing hasn't been resolved in the slightest."

""prophecy"…?"

Lin En narrowed his eyes, his attention drawn to the glowing crystal.

Yes, something Lynn hadn't seen when she played the game.

Made by Our Lady of St. Michael's Cathedral, it can also serve as a warning. This...

Which force does it belong to?

Lin En was very curious, but he also knew that it was not good to stare at other people's treasures all the time, so he could only ask:

"and then?"

Seaberg carefully hid the crystal and then explained, "The 'prophecy' can only serve as a warning, but it can't tell me where the danger comes from. We have come to Mr. Lin this time to express our sincere gratitude and to ask if you have any clues in this regard. If necessary, we are willing to cooperate with Mr. Lin unconditionally."

So that's how it was. He really thought the other party was here to give him a medal...

Well, he has shown too much mystery in the excavation of the "Dead Soul Fire". If you can't find the direction, it is understandable to come to him to find out more about the situation.

Unfortunately, however, Lynn is also full of questions.

The arrangement of the "Dead Soul Fire" is the only foreshadowing of the Witch Cult in the game. How could he have any clue about something that is beyond the script?

He is not a prophet.

"Sorry, I don't have any clues to provide." Lin En responded truthfully.

At most, he might find some clues by being reminded by the "Villain Diary" that the undead are active at night, but it is well known that the undead are most active in the middle of the night. This common sense thing cannot be used as a clue, right?

嗏

"Really?" Seaberg asked harshly.

His expression was still indifferent, but the three simple words "Really?!" directly established the attitude of Seaberg or the church.

These three words express suspicion and questioning, as if they are certain that there is something dirty going on with him.

That’s right, in the game even the upright Claire has to be taken in for in-depth examination by the church, not to mention that his past and Noel’s identity are a bit shady?

"Bishop Seaberg thinks I'm lying?" Lin En's tone couldn't help but turn a little colder.

Seaberg shook his head. "No, I'm very sorry if that made you feel that way."

This sounded good, but the archbishop immediately changed the subject:

"I simply believe you possess information we don't. As I said earlier, our situation hasn't improved with the successive eradication of the 'Dead Soul Fire'. This potential threat is enormous. If we want to neutralize their offensive, we must be prepared before they strike."

“But we don’t have many entry points.”

"We already know about Claire's condition. Although it's somewhat unbelievable, he does possess the ability to see the 'Dead Soul Fire.' However, we don't know Mr. Lin. We can't understand how he discovered the 'Dead Soul Fire' so quickly and efficiently. So we've hypothesized that he must possess some important information. And right now, we need to know this information because we can't afford the Witch Cult's destruction. Therefore, we must confirm this with Mr. Lin, no matter what. This is our first priority."

Chapter 286 Is this considered Latia’s betrayal?

Although Seaberg's words made sense and were understandable, the church suddenly came to him, and it turned out that thanks were just a by-product, and the main point was to get more clues from him. This gave people a completely different feeling.

Lin En looked at Seaberg, was silent for a moment, then shook his head, imitating the other's behavior: "Sorry, you're overthinking it. I don't have any important information."

"Then why was Mr. Lin able to accurately identify the 'Dead Soul Fire'...?"

"secret."

"Just a secret?"

"…What's the meaning?"

"No, just like we said earlier, we're just double-checking."

"..."

Lin En stared at Seaberg in silence for a few moments before asking, "So, is it confirmed now?"

"No, I have another question." Seaberg ignored the slightly awkward atmosphere and continued calmly, "In fact, we've noticed Mr. Lin going out at night in recent days. Is this related to the Witch Cult?"

Lin En's eyes narrowed immediately when he heard this.

If it was just one or two days, it would be fine, but Seaberg was talking about recently, which means that he "happened" to be under the church's sight for the past three days...

Isn't this being monitored?

The reason is probably because the extinguishing of the "Dead Soul Fire" did not reduce the warning effect of the "Prophecy", and the most suspicious person here is him.

Of course, this is understandable from the church's perspective. After all, he was able to strangely discover the "Dead Soul Fire" and refused to reveal any details. So people would definitely think:

Could this guy be in cahoots with the Witch Cult?

Otherwise, how can we find people accurately?

The warning effect of the "prophecy" has always existed. Could it be because of him?

Because the Witch Cult is not an opponent that can be dealt with easily, the church's caution seems understandable, but the problem is, Latiya is acting with him, there must be a bottom line, right?

What does it mean to secretly monitor?

Lin En couldn't help but glance at Latia beside him and found that she was also frowning slightly, as if she didn't expect Seaberg to ask such a question.

He felt a little better, so he responded calmly: "No, it's okay."

But just as the words fell...

"really?"

These three words seemed to have a kind of magic power, making Lin En's anger begin to rise.

"Do you think I'm lying?!"

Although he really lied this time, but...

"No, like I said just now, this is just double-checking." Seaberg repeated his words.

This made Lin En even more angry. He put one hand on his waist and said in a dandy manner, changing his gentlemanly demeanor:

"Oh, then I can only tell you..."

There was a pause, then...

"none of your business."

"...?"

Linn's four words made Seaberg freeze in place.

He probably didn't expect Lin En to say such a thing directly and bluntly, and a look of surprise appeared on his calm face.

But he recovered quickly, adjusted his mood in the blink of an eye, and asked calmly, "Mr. Lin En, do you have any misunderstandings about us?"

Lin En couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this, and spread his hands nonchalantly: "The fact that you can ask this question itself explains something, doesn't it?"

"..." Hearing this, Seaberg fell silent again. After a long pause, he bowed and responded, "I'm sorry if my question has caused trouble to Mr. Lin. However, I hope Mr. Lin can understand my actions. The current situation is not optimistic. I have a feeling that the time for the Witch Cult to take action is getting closer and closer, and I have to grasp every detail."

"and then?"

"If Mr. Lin has any clues, please contact us. The Witch Cult is more terrifying than you can imagine. If it is not handled properly, Siena may lose more than half of its population."

He paused and added:

"I'm not exaggerating. Everyone in the Witch Cult has this ability."

This is true, because the undead can actually snowball. If there is no "holy power" to suppress them, the number of undead can indeed increase by killing living people.

But it is undeniable that there is still a hint of doubt in Seaberg's words.

You see, the matter is so serious. If you know anything, you must tell us!

It's this strange feeling of being able to understand someone's feelings.

Lin En had had enough of this feeling. He was too lazy to talk nonsense with the other party, so he shook his hand and said:

"Oh, anything else?"

These words undoubtedly carried a strong implication of an order to expel him, but Seaberg remained unmoved and continued:

"Well, please allow me to ask one last question."

"Tsk, just fart if you want to." Lin En's patience has almost dropped to zero.

嗏

"Mr. Lynn, are you interested in joining the church?" Seaberg asked in a negotiating tone.

It must be said that this question was quite unexpected. Even Lin En was amused. "Join the church? Ha! Why? What's the reason?"

"The reason? It's simple. Mr. Lin has some kind of curse on him, right?" Seaberg looked at Lin with a blank expression. "And it's not just any curse. If it's something that even Latia can't suppress, then it's most likely from a witch, and the Church knows witches best in this world."

"..."

Lynn's expression froze instantly.

He finally understood why Seaberg was holding on to him, but he never expected that the fundamental reason was that the curse had been leaked!

As for who leaked it...

No doubt it was Miss Saint.
