The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 265 - 261 Interrogation Too Smooth No Pleasure

"If you are willing to assu the position of Pope, that would certainly be possible,"

the old woman said excitedly.

"Forget it, let him remain a sinner,"

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"Uh, if you retrieve the true body of the Twisted Saint, you naturally have the right to pardon him,"

the old woman said, settling for her second choice.

"That wouldn’t count against the conditions I can ask for, right?"

"No, it doesn’t count."

The old woman said, sowhat speechlessly.

How could soone who could pass the Great Baptism be so petty?

"Then that’s acceptable,"

Liu Zheng nodded in satisfaction.

What does petty an? Not letting those who do good suffer losses, that’s truly virtuous, okay?

Not understanding this, no wonder they are down to just two followers.

The helt man bowed deeply to him as a sign of gratitude.

"If you’re really grateful, help protect these people,"

Liu Zheng said, indicating Anke’s family and Flora.

"Bang!"

The helt man pounded his chest vigorously as a promise.

His gaze then turned to the golden cup, and an item description imdiately popped up.

"Na: Tomr Holy Grail"

"Type: Miscellaneous"

"Quality: Fine"

"Effect: Can communicate with higher beings when used in conjunction with rituals."

"Note: Because of it, they flourished; because of it, they perished."

"Can you take it out of the instance: Yes"

"Very well."

Liu Zheng put away the cup, and looked at the old woman.

"Where are the other Holy Grails?"

he asked.

The list from City Hall had more than one Holy Grail, and if he could collect them all, there would definitely be extra points.

"There should definitely be one in Carcarens Academy; they were the ones who initiated the frenzied exploration of the Tomr Ruins,"

the old woman said confidently.

"As for the Blood Healing Church, they should have one too. According to the information we’ve gathered, their ’Blood Healing’ techniques also stem from the legacy of the Tomr Civilization,"

she pondered before adding.

"Hand over your information network to ,"

Liu Zheng demanded.

Direct communication with the source of the intelligence was more convenient than hearing it through the old woman’s retelling.

The old woman looked hesitant.

"What’s wrong? You don’t want to do that?"

he raised an eyebrow.

"It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, Sir, but it’s just that our informant has not contacted us for a very long ti,"

the old woman sighed.

As for whether the informant had been exposed, had an accident, or had defected, that they did not know.

"No problem, just give the thod to contact him. It’s better to be safe than sorry,"

Liu Zheng said.

"Very well."

The old woman took out a whistle from her robe and handed it to him.

"After blowing the whistle, if he’s nearby, he’ll hear it. If he’s willing to et you, tell him that you have passed the Great Baptism, and he will cooperate with you."

He took the whistle, and no item description popped up.

"Where is he?"

Liu Zheng asked as he put away the whistle.

"He was last known to be in Carcarens Academy, but we don’t know his current location,"

the old woman shook her head.

"Okay. So, where is Carcarens Academy?"

"Go fetch the map for the Sir,"

the old woman ordered the helt man.

The helt man nodded, then went to the storeroom and brought out a map.

Liu Zheng spread it out to see; the map was quite detailed.

From this map, it was clear that the Church aspired to revive their fortunes.

From the map, their current location was in the center of New Atlantis, which was on the far right of the map.

And Carcarens Academy was to the southwest of New Atlantis, at the bottom of the map.

And at the center of the entire map is neither New Atlantis nor Old Yate, but the Church Town of the Blood Healing Church.

"This map wasn’t drawn by you, was it?"

Liu Zheng shook the map and asked.

"How did you know?"

The old woman asked in surprise.

"Isn’t that obvious? If it were drawn by you, would you place Church Town at the center?"

He rolled his eyes.

"Your wisdom is as profound as your pain. Indeed, this was procured by an informant for us."

The old woman praised.

"Um, Mr. Liu Zheng, may I take a look at this map?"

Anke, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.

"Sure."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"Thank you."

Anke walked over, took the map, and then rubbed his fingers over the area of Old Yate on it.

"Sigh!"

After a long while, he heaved a long sigh.

"Stop looking, Old Yate has beco history. Your present and future are in New Atlantis. Your family is here too. Look to the future."

Liu Zheng patted his shoulder with a tentacle.

"I understand, thank you for your advice."

Anke handed the map back to him.

"By the way, what’s happened to Old Yate now?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Old Yate has been burned by a great fire, and its entrance has also been sealed by the Church. If any creatures are still alive, they are likely beasts."

Anke said with so sadness.

He nodded, deep in thought.

Old Yate had been closed for decades. Surely the beasts that still lived inside would yield a high rate of Blood Gems.

However, Old Yate would be listed as an alternative for now. The priority was still to obtain ready-made Blood Gems through the channels of the Blood Healing Church.

But if the Church’s stock of Blood Gems was not ample, then he would have to source from Old Yate.

Although the residents suffering from Beastification Disease were sowhat pitiable, once they had beco beasts, it was as good as death.

The living are always more important than the dead.

"Arrange a room with good soundproofing for , and lend this."

Liu Zheng pointed to the box used for the Great Baptism as he spoke.

"Sir, are you going to?"

"Of course, I’m going to extract so information, tropolis-style."

He looked at the unconscious Hunter, smiling as he said this.

Everyone shuddered at his smile, even San Huamao shrank its ears.

Ten minutes later, Liu Zheng erged from a room with a displeased look on his face.

"Sir, did the information extraction not go smoothly?"

The old woman asked cautiously.

"No, it was too smooth," he snorted.

This Hunter looked tough, but he turned out to be a softie during interrogation.

Liu Zheng had barely carved a few flowers on him before he spilled everything.

It was unclear whether he was just too weak-willed or if the Interrogation Master was too effective.

However, this Hunter was not of high rank and knew little.

The Hunters in Yate now are divided into two groups, workshop hunters and Church Hunters.

Workshop hunters are similar to rcenaries. They follow the orders of the Church but maintain their independence.

Yate has several workshops, each specializing in crafting different equipnt, resulting in differing combat styles among their hunters.

There is both cooperation and hostility among the workshops.

Church Hunters, on the other hand, are directly under the Church, taking orders from the upper echelons. Their equipnt and supplies are provided directly by the Church, and they are the strongest.

Moreover, unlike the mostly out-of-town workshop hunters, many Church Hunters are locals of Yate.

It is said that Chief Hunter Beethoven’s philosophy is the reason for this.

He sees the hunters as protectors of Yate, so he is dedicated to recruiting hunters among the locals and training them to protect their holand.

This Hunter, nad Virus, belonged to the "Iron Saw" workshop.

Their workshop’s unique characteristic is a fondness for using various types of saw at knives, rarely using other lee weapons.

The district near Anke’s ho fell under the "Iron Saw" workshop’s jurisdiction.

As for the truth about Beastification Disease and the Pale Night, Virus had no clue.

He did know about the Blood Gems, though. The "Iron Saw" workshop had so, but their quality was not very high.

If there were a large quantity of high-quality Blood Gems anywhere, that would certainly be within a Church Hunter’s workshop.

Liu Zheng unfolded the map, looking towards the most central location.

He would have to visit Church Town now.
