Two full days have passed since the vision in York City. During these two days, endless crying and shouting echoed throughout the streets of York City, like hell.
After returning from Foer Cemetery, Gary and Betro came to the prayer room and found that Angdu was the only one in the prayer room. It was deserted and no longer as lively as before.
"Where's Cecia, are you okay?"
"Miss Cecia is helping out at Lucky Stone Church, but it doesn't look like her injuries are serious."
After Gary finished speaking, he took out a pile of broken parts and placed them in front of Angdu.
"That's good." Angdu nodded, looked at the things in front of him, and asked, "What are these?"
"We found it when we were cleaning the battlefield. It was the man you shot away, Mr. Ondu."
Gary explained: "We chased after them and only found these. They seemed to be some kind of extraordinary weapons, so we brought them back. Other than that, we didn't see any traces of living people."
Angdu nodded, "I understand. I will hand it over to the church and let the person in charge help identify it. Where is the other person?"
"The other one?" Gary was stunned. "Didn't you solve the other one, Mr. Ondu? We didn't..."
"No," Ondu looked into Gary's eyes, "you know which one I'm talking about."
Gary reacted, slumped down, and said with a sad face: "Suge, I don't know where I have been since yesterday. I haven't come to the church, and there is no news, and..."
"Brother Selin didn't show up for his funeral today. Betero and I were very worried. What if..."
Before Gary could finish speaking, Angdu stood up and walked out directly. When he passed Gary, he patted Gary on the shoulder and said, "Then let me go and take a look. I'll leave it to you for the association."
"
After Angdu finished speaking, he closed the door and left. Gary and Betro in the prayer room looked at each other and sighed softly.
????????????
York, end of Lilac Street.
Angdu stood in front of a small house and knocked on the door with his fingers.
"Is Sugar here?"
There was no answer from behind the door. Angdu thought for a moment and simply put his ear up, pressing his whole body against the door panel, listening carefully to what was going on in the room.
Angdu listened to himself for a while and found that there was indeed no sound coming from the room. He was about to leave, but found that the door was not closed tightly at all.
"Excuse me." Angdu opened the door and walked in.
After checking the bathroom, kitchen, and Selin's residence on the second floor, Angdu finally found Su Ge in the attic on the third floor.
Su Ge was sitting on a bed with his back to the door, with a mess of small things in front of him, facing the slanted window on the roof, and was lost in thought.
Angdu walked over slowly, thought about it, and decided to just stand behind Su Ge, so he leaned against the door frame casually and said, "Everyone is worried about you."
Su Ge didn't speak. It seemed that he didn't even notice Angdu's arrival.
Angdu sighed secretly and said: "But it looks like it's okay. As long as you don't rush out in a hurry, you can sit here as long as you want."
Seeing that Su Ge still didn't respond, Angdu was about to turn around and leave. At this moment, Su Ge's shoulders moved slightly.
Su Ge turned his back to Angdu and asked: "Mr. Angdu..."
"I'm here."
"You said...why...why exactly?"
Angdu opened his mouth, thought for a moment, and fell silent.
"Why exactly? Mr. Selling, why did you rush up and block that knife for me?"
Su Ge said, his shoulders shaking slightly.
"In the past two days, I have been seeing the shadow of Mr. Serling."
"He told me that I could stand behind him... He told me about the insights of extraordinary beings... He told me that I could try carrot pie for breakfast the next day... He told me,
You can save some money appropriately..."
"But I don't understand what he said at the end, what is the first article of Sky Church, and why he said sorry..."
"What does Mr. Selling mean by what he said? And why did he want to save me? He is stronger than me, more experienced than me, and even has a higher rank than me. No matter from which point of view, he deserves to survive
He should be the one, but why..."
As he spoke, Su Ge faced the sky outside the window and slowly began to sob.
Angdu looked at the frail figure until Su Ge stopped crying, and then said: "I'm afraid I can only answer one of these questions, because I don't know the others."
"Do you still remember the teachings of Sky Church? What is the first one?"
There were two tears on Su Ge's face. He slowly turned around and asked, "What?"
"The first doctrine of the Sky Church." Angdu replied.
"Sky Church, Article 1..." Su Ge muttered in a low voice, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Everyone must fight to protect the important people."
After saying that, Su Ge was stunned on the spot as if he was struck by a thunderbolt.
"Probably...that's what it's all about."
After Angdu finished speaking, he turned and left.
????????????
York City, Upper Quarter, Police Station.
Neo sat on the chair, feeling that his soul had abandoned his body and floated to an unknown distance.
"Can you please say it again, I didn't hear you clearly." Neo didn't even have the strength to smile, he just widened his eyes and asked in disbelief.
A secretary-like person lowered his head respectfully, read out the document in his hand, and said:
"...To sum up, from now on, the former York City Police Chief Neo will go to Faerun immediately to wait for new deployment."
"But," Neo said anxiously, "but, I haven't received any notification of job promotion. Moreover, the several police chiefs in Faerun now should be in their prime. It's impossible..."
"Still thinking about promotion? Police Chief Neo."
The secretary said expressionlessly:
"What you should consider now is how to explain to the royal family why you are still sleeping soundly at the dinner table when York encounters such a major event."
"This is a fact. Many citizens have seen it. There is no need to argue."
"And why, as a police chief, did you not make the correct deployment of personnel at the critical moment, so that many citizens were in chaos and suffered unnecessary damage."
"I hope you can make plans early, at least when you are being interrogated, you won't be as panicked as you are now..."
After the secretary finished speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for any answer from Neo.
Neo seemed to have been drained of all his strength. He slumped down on the chair and looked at the ceiling blankly.
He knew that when he was transferred to Faerun this time, he was probably, no, definitely demoted.
As for the reason, it should be because of that damn mutation.
"What can I, an ordinary person, do?"
As he said that, Neo's expression changed and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's all my fault to those guys in the association. Damn it, ever since the previous demon incident, bad things have happened one after another, which has ruined my original promotion plan."
"Bastard! Damn bastard!"

Leinu Church, York.
In the prayer room, Angdu sat in Selin's original position and said solemnly: "The meeting has begun. We need to restore the story of the matter and find subtle clues in it."
Gary scratched his head with his hand, looked around the empty prayer room, and asked, "But, there are only three of us."
I don’t know why, but without Selin and Su Ge, the originally lively and harmonious Mutual Helpers Association became deserted.
As if overnight, the buildings were empty.
Angdu did not look at Gary, but said in a very calm tone: "Of course, if you still consider yourself a member of the Mutual Aid Association."
Angdu's words made Gary and Betero stunned at the same time.
Yes, that's right, as long as they are members of the Mutual Aid Association and as long as they still bear this name, they need to be responsible for their actions.
"Okay, let's talk about it one by one. First of all, Noli, that is, the mutation in the Foel Mansion. Do you have any ideas?"
"There is actually no information about this matter," Gary raised his hand and said, "But when Betero and I confronted the 'Polter', we discovered that the 'Polluter''s ability is different from that of the Foel Mansion.
The mutations are very similar, and both have the ability to decay that can affect the surrounding environment."
"Noli has been troubled by illness. I don't know if he suffered the curse of the 'polluter' or something without us paying attention."
"It makes sense," Ondu nodded. "Perhaps, as you said, there is some connection between the Foel Mansion and the man named Grachi."
"If I'm not mistaken, the one you are dealing with is the demon believer named Grachi, right? And Su...Su Ge is dealing with the serial killer named Gebiong."
Gary and Betero looked at each other, "That should be it."
"So, there really is some kind of connection between the two of them. Do you know anything? Did you get any clues during the fight?"
Gary shook his head and said regretfully: "No, that Grachi has a very strange ability. No matter what kind of chant we use, we can't harm him. Moreover, he is also very cautious. Although we intentionally asked, he couldn't
no answer."
"Then over Gebiong, oh, by the way, I forgot, it's Su Ge..."
After Angdu finished speaking, he shrugged helplessly. At this moment, the door of the prayer room was pushed open, and Su Ge slowly walked in.
When the three of them saw Su Ge, they all subconsciously held the armrests and prepared to stand up. But after seeing Su Ge's eyes, they sat down with confidence.
The young man's eyes were no longer gloomy, and had regained their former look, bright and bright.
"Forgive me for being late."
Sugla opened his chair, sat in his original position, and said:
