Hearing the sound, the blonde man in black turned his head and saw Su Mingan covered in blood.

"Su Lin?" He glanced at Su Mingan: "Why are you here? Are you... here to accompany Xie Luther?"

“Allas?”

Su Mingan didn't expect that the leader of the soul hunt would run to the realm of Yunshang Church.

"What's wrong with Xie Luther?" he asked.

"It's okay, it's just a necessary punishment," said Ellas. "He let go of the soul clan that should be cleaned, and this is his punishment. This is the fire of the church's heart, which can make people reflect in pain."

"This is the territory of the church." Su Mingan emphasized, meaning that the leader of the soul hunting should not have come to such a place.

"Well, I know. But I have a responsibility to maintain Playa's safety," said Ellas. "Before every maritime feast, the Pope will go into seclusion. After hearing the news, something was wrong with the Cardinal, the expedition entrusted by this Pope, so I came to take a look. Sure enough, all the knights nearby were transferred... Hum?"

He raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance: "Why is the fire on the Holy Temple of Light?"

"It was done by the Cardinal who was not right in your mouth. He burned out from outsiders to come to worship and was killed by me."

"Well...well done." Ellas said: "Su Lin, you are still the sword I trust the most."

After saying this, he no longer had the intention of communicating. He just took out the cloth and wiped the silver-bright pistol in his hand.

Behind him, Xie Luther screamed in the transparent flames, his screaming extremely fiercely, as if he was about to tear his vocal cords.

Ellas's movements are slow, which is in sharp contrast to the tragic scene behind him.

Su Mingan glanced at Xie Lude in great pain and looked away.

"How long will this punishment last?" he asked.

Looking at this terrifying scene, if this continues, it will probably hurt people to death.

Ellas stopped the movement in his hand, as if thinking:

"...wait until the power of light given by his church is burned out." He said, "About... until tomorrow morning?"

Su Mingan looked at the time and it was two o'clock in the morning: "Tomorrow morning, can you still have life?"

"Su Lin, the rules of the church are different from those of the Soul Hunter. Even the available live powers will be abandoned mercilessly by them once they violate the rules." Ellas said: "They strictly prohibit the occurrence of favoritism. As knights, they must set an example... Xie Luther, those who should not be let go should be punished."

“Where does the church rules come from?”

"Oracle." Ellas said: "Are you going to violate the oracle of the gods of the Cloud City?"

Su Mingan didn't reply.

He and Xie Lude were not very familiar with each other. At best, the other party was just a npc with a high likes. It was not necessary for him to mess with that god for him.

"Then I'll go back to sleep." Su Mingan pretended to leave.

As he turned around, his steps suddenly stopped.

He saw two soul hunters escorting a trembling man in front of the gate.

She was wearing a black coarse cloth and was slowly waving from his eyes.

"...Before leaving, why not witness her ending." Ellas's voice came from behind him.

Su Mingan expected this scene.

He knew that if Soul Hunter didn't let Galder go, she wouldn't be able to leave even if she got on the merchant ship.

Xie Luther was just a Knight of Light, an existence under the church. He could not protect a person that the soul hunter must catch.

Su Mingan just didn't expect that Soul Hunter could really do this.

——They would rather punish Xie Lude, and would rather get on the merchant ship personally and force the old lady back than let him go.

...They really want to achieve this level of killing them all.

He looked at the door.

The old man's figure was still thin and seemed shaky, just like every time Su Mingan saw her.

She held the photo in her hand and slowly grinded under the guard of the soul hunter. The lights dizzyed into golden yellow on the photo.

Then Su Mingan met her eyes.

She was looking at him, her eyes were like thin pieces of broken porcelain. The lights were frozen in her white and turbid eyes, like a tide gradually fading away.

Her face was blown red by the cold night wind, her cheekbones were high, wrinkles were pulled on her face, and the corners of her mouth were still raised, as if she was comforting him.

"Su Lin." Ellas's voice slowly came from the side: "My employment has always been very unprofessional. I can let people with ambition, let people with ill-belief. I can also... trust an outsider who has no nature and no handle, as long as he has enough strength.

“…as long as he is human.

"Only he is human.

"so.

"I can trust an outsider who suddenly rushed back, or I can trust an outsider who has no idea about the details.

“…But I can’t believe a soul clan.”

"So what did Galder do wrong?" Su Mingan asked.

"She is wrong because she is a soul clan." Ellas responded.

"Who told you? Did she kill, hurt, or was she discovered by other soul tribes? Did she attack, eat, or did she do something evil?" Su Mingan didn't believe she was a soul tribe at all.

I don’t have the smell of the soul clan from beginning to end, how could it be a soul clan?

"…you can't believe it should." Ellas looked at him: "Because she was indeed human."

"once?"

"Because in order to support her home without a husband and son, she made a deal with Yunshang Church... She made a shocking decision." Ellas said: "...This is a very long story.

At that time, her daughter and granddaughter had not grown up yet, and the whole family had only one labor force.

Then, she got sick too.

In order to wait until her husband returns from Yunshang City, she signed up for the human experiment at Yunshang Church at that time.

——Currently transformed her into a soul clan.”

"Are you making up stories?" Su Mingan said.

Ellas laughed.

A hoarse wailing sounded behind him, and two soul hunters escorting the old lady passed by before him. He stroked the scarred back of his hands, and his voice was faint.

"...Su Lin, then what evidence do you have to believe this story?" He said: "Because she is a soul clan transformed, her breath will not attract the attention of other soul clans. However, even if she is a failed product of the transformation, we still cannot relax our guard against her."

"So, when the soul clan is getting more and more disturbed recently, you can't bear it anymore and want to cross the river to destroy the bridge." Su Mingan continued his words: "I release a second cleaning mission to me, just to let me, an outsider, kill this soul clan, who is clearly human?"

In his cold eyes, Ellas nodded slowly.

"That's it." He said.

Su Mingan laughed: "—But you didn't expect that the irony is that the knights of the church who acted with me, who are obviously the brightest and righteous, will be selfish, hide it from me, and want to send her away."

Ellas nodded.

"That's it." He said

"So, is she extremely harmful?" Su Mingan asked.

"..." Ellas was silent.

"Without the power of the Soul Clan and the speed of the Soul Clan, it will not harm people, and will not eat human flesh and blood - even so, you can't tolerate her?" Su Mingan asked again.

Ellas remained silent.

"——So, she would not harm anyone at all. Even the information about a large number of deaths on the Thirteenth Street in the mission report was lying to me? The mission report said this to arouse my intention to kill her, and then let me kill her?" Su Mingan asked.

“…yes.” Ellas replied.

"You are quite funny." Su Mingan summarized this.

He finally knew that there was no taste of the Soul Clan on Thirteenth Street, so why did Ellas insist that there was a Soul Clan there?

...Because the soul clan is Gard himself.

Even if she will not hurt people, harm people, and will not eat human souls, because the body is a body transformed by the soul clan, she must die.

No matter what the nature of her soul is.

Whether her mind belongs to humans or not.

...

[Xie Luther, her son is a sacrificed soul hunter. Logically speaking, there should be financial assistance. Why is it so difficult?]

...

[Xie Lude, this place is clearly a cleaned area, so it is impossible for the soul clan to appear again. Why do fish that escape the net appear?]

...

Su Mingan understood why Ellas sent him this mission.

Ellas wanted to use Galder as an example. After he killed her, he told him: Su Lin, you killed a soul clan that was once a human, but because her body was a soul clan, you had to kill her - this is the case between humans and soul clans. The difference between races does not lie in the difference in thought, but in the physical difference.
