"Have you known her identity for a long time?"

Croshan, who was following behind, asked calmly.

Su Wenze nodded without concealment:

"On the night we arrived at our return port in the Signault province, Viscount Kevins told me everything in order to prevent Shelly from taking risks.

Including Shelly's identity.

And he will swear allegiance to the deceased Border Count and protect the last heir to the earl.

so.

That’s why I finally chose Shelly.”

He needs a [leader] who can convince the Eternal Night Kingdom. And for that leader, no one will be more suitable than her.

Just like [The Saints of Lorraine: Jeanne Darc-Joan of Arc].

He continued:

"Crosanne.

Twenty minutes later, the treatment of the infected on the steam train will be left to you and the survivors available in the church.

As for the elderly and children, just let them take refuge.

Next, Shelly needs to go with me to the ‘Astrology Room’, one of the three important locations in the royal city.

I will be there--

Cut off their life supply lines."

Su Wen left time to adjust.

It's not because time for the next operation is not precious. On the contrary, he wants this group of survivors who have just been rescued not to become a drag.

Twenty minutes later.

Along with the extinguishing of the Roman-style hanging lamps inside the church.

The crowd disappeared into the darkness in silence.

Although the surviving residents of Eternal Night are not extraordinary.

But after hundreds of years of selection by the Kingdom of Eternal Night, as descendants of former drifters, they have long had better night vision capabilities.

Therefore, even if they did not need a lantern as a night light source, they could hide themselves in the dark and walk silently towards the distant steam train station with the antibody injection given by Croshan in their hands.

The girl guard following Su Wen asked nervously:

"Although arrangements have been made for the elderly and children to take refuge.

But for the rest of them, won’t they be discovered by the cultists?”

"The Sleeping Sect will not have this chance.

First of all, the spreading aura of sleep is the only psychic wave triggered here, which is the first layer of disguise.

Second.

The chaos in the inner city will attract most of their attention first."

Su Wen took out from his lining pocket the accessory that Rendel had previously created at the Starfall Transport Watch Shop in the trading port, and it came with an accessory that disguised the aura of the abyss.

They were two brooches engraved with black curtains.

"Next.

Let us not waste the remaining warmth of this deep dream."

He fastened the pin on the girl's chest, not paying attention to the girl's slightly red face in the dark night.

Immediately afterwards.

After buckling one for myself.

He found two robes from the dead cultists that were still intact and carried nameplates.

Simply using the psychic properties of the Judgment Knight to retain the breath of sleep to remove the black tide pollution, he said calmly:

"Don't forget this, put it on."

Shelly was a little disgusted with the things of these cultists, but she still put the robe on her head obediently:

"Mr. Rhine, can you tell me what to do next?"

He smiled and said,

"Pretending to be a devout cultist."

Mr. Detective put on the black gloves with graceful movements and inlaid the coat of arms that Rendel had engraved on them. Then he also put on the cultist's hood.

for this proposal.

Girls can’t quite understand,

"Cultists, how should they disguise themselves?"

Ever since the Kingdom of Eternal Night was established half a year ago, it has never encountered any foreign enemies.

The Steam Guards actually just maintain order among the people on weekdays. Compared to the army, they are actually more like the law enforcers of the town.

so.

The girl guard with poor knowledge actually had no idea about cultists.

She only knew that those people were bad guys in black robes.

Su Wen also understood this.

While walking slowly towards the door in a different direction from the survivors heading to the steam train, he explained gently:

"So-called cultists.

They believe in evil gods that are different from orthodox religions

Compared with Zhengshen’s ‘co-ecology’, ‘observation’ or ‘one-way blessing’.

Evil gods are more like parasitic existences to civilization.

Therefore, the purpose they want to achieve is also the same as that of parasites:

Control civilizations, or choose to devour them completely. Then, choose the next civilization that can be parasitized.

Like a spreading virus.

This explanation should be understandable to you who have undergone simple nurse training at the return port."

That's right.

For Su Wen.

The so-called gods are just high-dimensional existences that cannot be observed by current science.

As a scholar.

He will always believe in the truth.

"Do you treat us like insects?"

Shelly murmured, with a hint of helpless reluctance in her words,

"I see.

Then how should I disguise myself as them?"

After witnessing the endless tide of frozen corpses when Su Wen summoned the Frost Dragon, she felt that sometimes she shouldn't delve into these painful things.

It is enough to believe what Mr. Rhine and Sister Rendell say.

The girl thought silently in her heart.

How cunning. But only in this way will she not be so afraid. Only in this way can she gain a little motivation to move forward.

"Don't worry, you only need to do two things."

Su Wen raised his head and looked at the roaring walls of the royal city in the distance under his black robe.

There are currently no cultists around here.

It is indeed impossible for the Shenmian Sect to control the entire huge royal city with just one branch.

He pushed open a secret door that he had found with a swarm of drones during Croshan's previous research.

Then he continued:

“These two points are ‘sincere enough’,

Also: ‘pure enough’.

Perhaps evil gods or war gods who are good at killing will be more inclined to be violent.

But Chorazin, the eternal sleeper, does not fall into this category. Like R'lyeh, he is also one of the old days of Cthulhu.
