In the Holy City, beneath an ancient cathedral, in a spacious underground space.
As the headquarters of Shepherd, which has not been established for a long time but has sufficient funds and countless people want to join for various purposes, it is located here.
Bishop Jon sat in his office and looked through the ancient collection of books provided by His Majesty.
He hopes to find the true inheritance left by the Holy City from these collections of books.
Unfortunately, he gained nothing during this period.
If it weren't for the stigmata left on the palm of his hand clearly telling him that everything was not a dream.
He may think that he is lost between reality and dreams, and thinks that the angel in the dream is reality.
Knock knock!
"come in."
Bishop Jon heard the knock on the door and just replied without looking up.
Suddenly, the wooden door painted with many runes slowly opened, and a priest wearing a black robe decorated with red lines walked over with a firm look.
After saluting Bishop Jon, he placed a thick stack of information on Bishop Jon's desk.
For the sake of tradition and preventing leaks, we also take care of some personnel in the department who are not integrated into information operations.
Paper materials are used most of the time in the Shepherd Department.
"Bishop, this is our investigation report on the 1,250 unusual incidents reported by various churches this week."
"Among them, 1,249 were judged to be caused by the patients themselves."
"Um?"
Bishop Jon nodded slightly and then suddenly said:
"What's the other place?"
"It was the priest of the local church who was bribed to falsify the evidence."
A trace of anger flashed in the black-robed priest's eyes:
"We've taken him to the dungeon."
"Strip off his gift and hand it over to the relevant departments for processing."
When Bishop Jon said this, he could feel the dissatisfaction and unwillingness of the black-robed priest.
It's just that... the current Holy Bishops can only be regarded as the largest branch of the Western Church.
It’s no longer the time when we could say the same thing a thousand years ago.
And now they have not found their extraordinary inheritance, so in many cases they still have to carry on as usual.
He waved his hand and asked the black-robed priest who was loyal to the Holy Lord to retreat.
Bishop Jon sighed and looked at the pile of information.
After the shepherds were established, there was nothing more to do than take their blood and wait for the angel to come.
Of course, it’s not like doing nothing.
At least in Bishop Jon's field, the investigation of abnormal events must continue.
And with the emergence of extraordinary events in various places, it caused a craze on the Internet.
Bishop Jon discovered that there has been a sharp increase in incidents in the Europa area claiming that they are possessed by demons, or dreaming about being threatened by demons!
Bishop Jon, who has extensive experience in exorcism, naturally understands this.
In an era when supernatural beings are not obvious, there will be patients who have a psychotic episode and believe that they are possessed by demons because of watching related movies or books.
Not to mention that now the existence of the extraordinary has been confirmed.
But, so far.
Bishop Jon has yet to encounter a true demonic invasion.
"There have been so many recent incidents that are a bit abnormal. Many of them should be the work of major intelligence agencies."
"There should be no shortage of priests and sisters who have been bribed or threatened."
"hateful!"
Thinking of his own powerlessness, Bishop Jon couldn't help but scratch his already gray hair a few times.
Then he had no intention of looking at the pile of information, and instead stood up and passed through the secret door behind the wall, entering the hidden underground passage.
In this passage, he could lean against the one-way glass and observe the training of the Shepherd Preparators who were training in various underground spaces.
After realizing that there really is extraordinary power in the world.
As a holy city that possesses a large amount of mysterious knowledge, it is naturally impossible to do nothing.
Even if they knew that it was filled with intelligence officers from other forces, there was nothing they could do.
In these underground rooms.
Priests or nuns are training according to different cultivation methods.
Some people sit cross-legged and contemplate angels after performing complicated rituals.
Others fast for a long time, staring at candles or inscriptions or statues representing angels, and silently recite incantations.
Some have even restarted the Holy Spirit sect’s spiritual practice that was banned hundreds of years ago.
Compared with the Holy Spirit Sect, other spiritual sects are just childish.
Because this sect looks like evil wizards and practices like evil wizards.
It is a spiritual sect that deals with the undead and the devils in hell.
The information revealed in the ancient records of the Holy City shows.
The great holy city relied on the strength of several saints from this faction to retain its vitality in several major turmoils and win the opportunity for the other party to compromise.
It's just that... hundreds of years ago, the last holy saint of the Holy Spirit summoned an ancient existence and had an accident. When he was about to die, he left his last words, which caused his Majesty to announce a ban on practice.
From then on, this practice method was shelved on the shelf, until now it has been brought out again.
There is no way, judging from the extraordinary information left in the Holy City.
This practice method is the most mysterious, and because it is relatively recent, it is also recorded in the most detail.
There are not only incantations and methods on how to communicate with the dead and summon ancient beings.
It also left behind many saints’ practice experiences and reflections.
If this is also false... wouldn't it mean that the hundreds of priests and even bishops who practiced this method hundreds of years ago... are all lying!
In the past, Bishop Jon must have been as inclined to do so as His Majesty, and this is what they did.
Because this was the result of the combined effect of interests and popular thoughts at that time, it is not incomprehensible.
But now, even if it is forbidden power, Bishop Jon hopes that someone can really master it!
Think so.
Bishop Jon suddenly paused slightly.
But the sacred music that he heard that night came to his ears.
Bishop Jon realized something and quickly ran back to his room.
With trembling hands, he took out the blood sample inventory from the cryogenic safe.
Finally, he remembered that Su Ping had not collected the blood sample of the bishop.
After riding Dahei and galloping under the sea, he summoned the spirit rats and gave them an invisibility charm and let them explore the holy city.
After seeing how sensible Bishop Jon was and hearing his hint, he immediately took the sample.
Su Ping smiled slightly, activated the Cave in the Pot, and extended an invitation to Bishop Jon.
in a blink.
Bishop Jon, who accepted the invitation, appeared in the black mist under the formation.
He was in the dark fog, unable to see or hear anything.
However, he did not panic. He just put down the sample and took two steps back. He closed his eyes and recited the passages in the scriptures that do not look directly, do not listen, and do not blaspheme...
Bishop Jon felt that the darkness in front of him was the angel's protection for him!
After all, he is still just a mortal, and looking directly at a divine being may cause him incurable injuries.
In the dark mist, Su Ping took out the Bloodline Slate.
With a flash of consciousness, in the samples left by Bishop Jon, small test tubes were opened one by one, and drops of blood gathered into a small river of blood and submerged into the body of the blood vein slate.
Then, this time... the bloodline slate finally glowed.
Su Ping's heart moved when he saw the light this time.
Because the spirits appearing in the Blood Vein Tablet are shown as natural affinity spirits.
This spirit is a slightly less rare spirit in the world of immortality.
There are such spiritual monks in Chiyuan Immortal Sect.
According to rumors, the elder who solved the problem of large-scale breeding of Kongkong rats had an advanced version of this spirit body.
Su Ping didn't expect an elder like that to help him with his work.
All it takes is a low-level nature-friendly spirit that can speed up the planting time of spiritual fields and improve planting efficiency.
Just as the cave in the pot expanded, there were two more peaks. In addition to the main building, there was also a lot of empty space.
Bring back some spiritual soil and spiritual water from the world of immortality, and add more abundant spiritual energy from the cave in the pot.
There is still a chance to open up dozens of acres of spiritual fields and ensure the freedom of your own spiritual rice!
Even if you are brave enough, get some spiritual plants and grow vegetable-like spiritual plants that are not polluted by evil spirits.
Presumably it will also be popular in those large markets, right?
Those high-ranking inner sects and true monks really don’t want to taste other spiritual food besides high-grade spiritual pills and spiritual rice and wine?
"Well done, you didn't forget your responsibilities."
Su Ping spoke slowly, and with the help of magic, his voice sounded directly in Bishop Jon's mind.
At the same time, the magical hand moved.
Bishop Jon's eyebrows showed the mark of the cross.
Along with the appearance of this stigmata.
Su Ping used his spiritual consciousness to help Bishop Jon clear a large number of blockages in his body, and introduced the surrounding spiritual energy to pour into the opponent's body along the sacred mark between the eyebrows.
And guided the contents of the jade slips, which recorded a heretical method, into Bishop Jon's mind.
Let him instinctively start breathing according to the contents of the jade slip, and accept the transformation of the body by the spiritual energy and the rapid growth of the soul after being stimulated for the first time.
At this point, Su Ping nodded slightly to confirm that his efforts were not in vain.
Although Bishop Jon is a little older, he at least has inferior spiritual roots.
Relying on his own assistance, I can barely train Qi into the body.
He has the qualifications to learn and use that sideline magic.
However, it is not a problem if he has no spiritual energy when he returns.
Think about it.
Su Ping took out a ring-shaped pendant-like magic weapon.
With a flash of consciousness, the spirit-gathering formation in this low-grade magic weapon turned into a spirit-charging and slow-release formation.
Although it has lost several of its original small functions.
But it also has the function of slowly releasing the accumulated spiritual energy.
The power is not high, but it can be used to meet the magic needs of a casual cultivator in a soulless environment like Aqua Blue Star.
Submerge this low-grade magic weapon filled with spiritual energy directly into Bishop Jon's chest.
Suddenly, a circular stigmata appeared in the center of Bishop Jon's chest.
After doing all this.
Su Ping told him the number of the person who found the spirit body through many tests.
Then he watched Bishop Jon, who closed his eyes and was filled with gratitude, disappear into the black mist.
Underground space, in the bishop's room.
Bishop Jon felt that he was back.
Only then did he dare to open his eyes and see the familiar room layout.
He didn't get up immediately and call for help. Instead, he stood up and rubbed his head, which was aching from the force-fed knowledge.
Slowly looked at the mirror.
Immediately.
The nearly sixty-year-old bishop was stunned.
Him in the mirror.
The face is rosy and the skin is fair and shiny.
His eyes were bright, and his whole person... returned to his forty-year-old appearance.
Even more energetic and full of damn charm than he was back then!
