Chapter 687: Chapter 345: Evil God_2
Midri looked at Matt Wei with those pure eyes, holding the Bible in her hands and gracefully performed a gesture of the Light Church.
With a smile and composure, she asked, "You represent the Divine Armor Hall, and the Divine Armor Hall represents Dongwu City. You indeed have the enforcement rights if there’s an issue in the Border City, but may I offer a slight argument first, if I may?"
Matt Wei’s impatience was once again subdued by the girl’s gentleness.
He frowned slightly and said calmly, "I’ll give you three minutes. If you can’t make it clear, come with me. Once we’re in Dongwu City, Sir Baiyi will naturally decide if there’s an issue."
Midri smiled, and the power of light in her hands emitted a comforting glow. The prayer mat on the altar slowly floated in front of the girl.
She gently lifted one side of her divine robe and incorporated the prayer mat into her divine robe, which resembled a skirt, and slowly knelt down.
She held up the Bible with both hands, gently opened it, and smiling, said, "The Holy Scripture of Light has said that lies are evil, and discerning lies requires the revelation of the spirit. Whether the teachings of the God of Light are believed by the adults, I do not know..."
She paused for a moment, her face still wearing a gentle smile, her tone very light, "Therefore, I am willing to open my mind and let the mage you find check or play back my memory, perhaps this can prove my innocence."
As she finished speaking, a cacophony abruptly erupted, intersecting opposing voices and arguments, turning the once quiet cathedral into a bustling market.
Ulysses’ eyes burned with a furious light, "You are going too far. The Light Church is a lawful and compliant place. Even if you are from the Divine Armor Hall, you cannot act recklessly. The laws are set by Sir Baiyi; once established, everyone must abide by them!"
[Great God of Light, praise to you, you are our Savior, we will give everything for you, including our lives and souls...]
The low murmurs rose, soothing the excited believers.
Matt Wei frowned deeply, his vertical pupils showing some odd emotions, he looked at Laya with a questioning gaze.
Laya appeared a bit bewildered, gently shook her head at him, indicating that she too was unsure.
Matt Wei was silent for a moment, turned around, and walked toward the cathedral doors.
He didn’t truly probe the girl’s memory, because.... it was meaningless.
If the girl had issues, then her volunteering for such a thing means nothing would be found.
If the girl had no issues, probing her memory would tarnish the reputation of the Divine Armor Hall, and dishearten such an angel-level genius.
Of course, if Laya could determine that person had issues, nothing else would matter. As the captain of the Divine Armor Hall, his position was unaffected by mere public opinion.
"I kind of feel she’s not the problem."
Sai De said in a low voice, "Too forthright, too wonderful, not like acting."
Laya looked confused, lowered her head, and spoke softly, "I can only perceive the rich power of light within her, no... problems at all, what now?"
The golden armor on Matt Wei’s body slowly fell off, he rubbed his temples in frustration, "Sai De, hide and keep an eye on that person, Laya, go tell the Jia Guan City Lord, I’ll contact headquarters to come up with a plan."
"Okay." ×2
After Sai De spoke, his body merged into the shadows, he originated as an assassin, and even now has not forsaken the power of shadow.
Meanwhile, the extraordinary attributes of the mythical armor could disguise any host’s attributes, only its golden brilliance remained visible without being covered by power.
Matt Wei contacted the Divine Armor Hall headquarters, but now forcefully acting in such circumstances wouldn’t work, they couldn’t be 100% certain.
Moreover, Midri was reported within the Federation, and had never had any suspicions.
Though the Divine Armor Hall could directly apprehend people, it never looked good, and the case wasn’t as large as imagined.
In the shadows, Sai De had not exposed his presence, and his secretive nature as a golden-level assassin was not detectable by others.
This tailing continued for several days, during which Midri constantly calmed believers and led them in prayer.
Because some believers posted matters of the Light Sect online, the Koman family managed some control, yet Midri’s honesty and absolute beauty...
The public opinion remained somewhat unfavorable to the Divine Armor Hall.
And Sai De’s group began to feel some anxiety, especially Matt Wei.
He looked at the scene of desiccated corpses before him, his expression grim.
"Seems it’s not her, but..."
Laya hesitated in her eyes.
"That one has SS potential, if Angel’s Power were confirmed, she might become the tenth top-level. Your caution was correct."
Jia Guan was also helpless, he didn’t feel anything wrong with Midri.
Now Sai De nearly tested the Saintess from every angle, yet the sacred evil god sacrifices still appeared in Chaoyang City, completely clearing the Saintess of suspicion.
"Is there a second source of divine power in the city? With your angel bloodline, nothing unusual should escape you." Matt Wei looked at Laya.
"No, maybe Midri’s aura is masking others, other than Midri, there is no second divine power." Laya shook her head.
Her eyes were complex, intuition told her the one with problems was Midri, but it was only a hunch.
