069 Dekan founded the Church
Chloix’s expression was full of conflict, but in the end, he laughed helplessly.
This was the first time he had been asked by a teammate to use magic without any restraint.
It was strange.
From childhood to adulthood, always mired in inferiority, it was also the first time he truly experienced the feeling of “my talents are bound to be useful.”
After the treatment, the woman’s collar was soaked.
Her face was covered in tears, which, mixed with sweat, continuously rolled down her cheeks.
Although her eyes seemed vacant, there was still a spark of fire flickering in them.
It was the signal of survival originating from her soul.
“How about it, shall we continue? Next is the wind magic, allowing you to experience the feeling of your flesh being cut all over, of course, with 20 times the pain.”
Dekan asked with a smile.
Chloix’s offensive magic would not cause substantial harm or physical damage, it would all be converted into equivalent healing power.
That’s why Chloix’s healing, as a supportive figure, was extraordinary.
Without considering other functionalities, his healing power was several times higher than that of a same-rank cleric.
But Chloix’s healing was accompanied by excruciating pain.
For instance, his fire magic would not leave a burn, but the agony of being scorched by fierce flames would be fully endured by the teammates.
His wind magic would not sever a person’s body, but it would let them clearly experience the pain of being cut up while still alive.
This was always regarded as one of Chloix’s side effects.
But in Dekan’s view, this was Chloix’s greatest talent!
He even helped amplify this pain to 20 times for Chloix.
“Sniff, sniff!”
The woman violently shook her head.
She didn’t want to endure that torture for even a second.
“Alright, then let’s talk some more.”
With Dekan’s order, Cornelia pulled the towel out of the woman’s mouth.
Instantly, she was like someone just rescued from drowning, gulping down breaths of air.
Dekan didn’t rush to ask her anything, giving her a bit of time to catch her breath.
Only after confirming she had recovered did Dekan start questioning.
The nearby scribe, Chloix, was also ready.
“What is your name?”
“…Aurora.”
“Age.”
“…24.”
“Answer faster. Do you know what time it is? Make us young people stay up all night with you, can your conscience be at peace?”
“???”
Are you even doing what teenagers do?
“What is your identity, address while hiding in the Capital City, and also your position, superior, and all internal information you know in the Rebirth Church. I advise you not to lie, otherwise, you’ll bear the consequences, don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
…
The following was an hour-long interrogation.
Aurora became extremely cooperative, divulging a lot of intelligence.
The Rebirth Church had multiple bases in the Norton Kingdom, the largest base was situated in the border city.
But its location was always changing, and Aurora didn’t know where the large base was.
Because the Rebirth Church dared not penetrate the strongman-converged Norton Capital City, they only inserted several intelligence agents there.
They didn’t know each other’s identities, and generally appeared no different from ordinary civilians.
Only one superior was responsible for one-to-one contact with them.
And their primary goal in the Norton Kingdom was currently to recruit Dekan.
Or if they could not obtain his cooperation, they would do everything possible to eliminate him.
“Interesting, I just happened to have the idea of wanting to get rid of the Rebirth Church, now they’ve targeted me directly. The wicked always move first.”
Dekan muttered to himself while resting his chin on his hand.
This sentence startled Chloix.
“Dekan, you’re not joking, right? You actually plan to eradicate the Rebirth Church?”
“Of course. What other way to be done for all-time?”
Chloix opened his mouth but couldn’t utter a word for a long time.
The Rebirth Church was an evil ancient organization that even the Kingdom Union had trouble with.
As an individual, it would be difficult enough just to avoid being troubled by them.
Dekan was thinking from the beginning to completely destroy them!
But very quickly, Chloix’s eyes became serious.
“Dekan, if you are serious, I will certainly give you all the help I can. I have been irreconcilably opposed to them! It is not an exaggeration to say deep hatred. I always felt that I didn’t have the ability…”
But now, there’s someone here who could fully leverage his abilities.
“Then that’s settled, set a small goal, to eliminate the Rebirth Church. Cornelia, what about you?”
“Do it!”
Listening to their conversation, Aurora started sweating again on her back, her sticky clothes making her even more uncomfortable.
If these three people were not insane, they would undoubtedly become the biggest disaster since the founding of the Rebirth Church.
Dekan suddenly seemed to remember something.
He took out a vial of medicine and walked to Aurora.
Aurora’s eyes were once again filled with terror.
Was it time to kill her to silence her?
“Don’t worry, this is a truth serum. I will ask you the previous questions again to confirm the accuracy of the information.”
“Why didn’t you use it earlier?!”
“I just wanted to give you a chance to confess and see if you had any potential for development.”
On one hand, he was unsure if this truth serum was reliable.
On another, Dekan wanted to test whether Aurora had truly submitted to them deep down in her heart earlier.
After saying that, Dekan injected the medicine made by Mia into Aurora.
Aurora did not resist. She had already given up any resistance.
In the following time, Dekan based on the interrogation record that Chloix had taken down before, asked the questions again from beginning to end.
“Alright, except for underreporting your age by three years, everything else is true.”
His words brought a hint of color back to Aurora’s pale face.
But her eyes carried some shame and anger.
“Originally, you only had one choice – to sit in the Capital City prison long-term.”
“Of course, your most likely end will be to be sent to the Kingdom Union for re-interrogation.”
“Although their interrogations are much gentler than ours, they are definitely not as nice as we are.”
Aurora’s mouth twitched.
She had never seen such “nice” people.
“But because of your honesty, there is now another choice.”
“You can also join our Church, and then I’ll let you go right away.”
Dekan continued.
Then he looked at Aurora, waiting for her to respond.
Aurora seemed to doubt whether she had heard correctly.
“Your church?”
“Yes, our ‘Happy Church’ worships love and peace, our goal is to bring smiles to everyone. If you choose to join, then you will be our high-level spy embedded in the Rebirth Church. I will do everything possible to cooperate with you and help you climb higher.”
