"Listen Luc...Lucy..."
"Lucius."
"Okay, Chief Lucius, listen, the situation is like this - you are currently suspected of illegally detaining a devout Salvationist believer. I think you know better than me what the consequences of doing so will be."
"Sheepdog handles cases according to rules and regulations. We have sufficient evidence before..."
"Evidence, you mentioned evidence again. What evidence is it? What evidence do you have now to prove that Rhodes is an illegal heretic?"
"Of course, you just mentioned that we found a black wooden sculpture in his house."
Louis smiled, blushing a little. The people around him laughed so much that they felt a little baffled.
"You've been able to detain someone until now just because of a black wooden sculpture? Then why don't you go to the souvenir shop and arrest everyone inside? There are a lot of wooden sculptures there!"
Kegel Lucius was irritated and moved his temples: "Don't mess around here. The wooden sculpture held by Mr. Rhodes obviously belongs to an illegal belief!"
"Why? Why do you say that?"
"That statue is of a woman, with many special symbols on her body! Based on my intuition over the years, it is a heretical statue!"
"Heretic statue..." Louis' smile sank, and he sighed helplessly, "You people are really too nervous to deal with this case..."
"What did you say?"
As if he knew it was time, Louis made a questioning gesture, which seemed like nothing to others, but Sean knew that it was a special physical expression that could prevent people from escaping the questions asked by the "slanderer". He asked: "Mr. Lucius, I sincerely ask you, do you know what Mr. Rhodes's grandfather did?"
Lucius just looked at Louis.
"He is a wood carver. Rod's grandfather even carved the statue of Keen and the Virgin Mary for the parish church." Louis' state has completely changed, from being frivolous and aggressive before to being calm and sincere, "So, by Grandpa, Only under the influence of Mr. Rhodes did he understand and like wood carving..."
"what do you want to say?"
"What I want to express is that Mr. Rod often creates various wood carving works. As his friends, we have all received such gifts." With that, Louis took a suitcase from Mr. Berry. He opened the box. Inside were various wooden statues, including ancient warriors holding swords and roaring lions.
“Not only does he create these works, but he gives each piece a story—
“The wood carving you found is not a statue at all, it’s just a handicraft.
“What’s interesting is that in everyone’s opinion, that wooden sculpture is just a handicraft, but you think it is a heretical statue.
"You're not neurotic, what are you?"
Kegel Lucius walked to the open box and picked up the wood carving inside. Indeed, the shape and carving marks are very similar to the black woman statue. Among these mythological wood carvings, the mysterious lady seems to have lost some color of faith and worship.
"Listen, Sir Lucius..." Louis' eyes moved slightly, always relying on instinct to capture the other person's mood - this is the ability to observe words and emotions that he has developed since he was a salesman, "We know that the officers of the Shepherd Dog, We are all working hard to handle the case for the sake of the peace of the people. Therefore, we do not want to pursue excessive pursuit of such misunderstandings. I believe Mr. Rhodes will also understand...
"However, if the mistake cannot be made up for in time and our friend Mr. Rhodes continues to suffer some unfair treatment..." As he said, he turned to Mr. Berry and looked at him. The latter was still full of anger, eyebrows and beard twisted. Together, they seemed to be about to explode at any moment, "If this is the case, I can't guarantee how the devout and angry believers around me will describe your actions in front of the diocesan bishop...
"The believers in the Parish Street Parish are very united." Finally, he gave Captain Shepherd a firm look.

Berry and Louis helped the semi-conscious Rhodes get into the car. Louis quickly got in the car and closed the door. He kicked the accelerator and took the last trapped believer out of the shepherd's den.
Sean breathed a sigh of relief and fell down on the bed. It is really too difficult to support four ordinary people through this level of interrogation. However, he couldn't sleep yet.
After forcing myself to stand up, the balance of consciousness tilted towards Shawshank again. With the remaining strength, he finally conveyed the instruction of collective silence through the channels of communication among the believers.
There is silence. No gatherings or missionary interactions will take place during this period. The entire faith is quiet.
There was no way. Although the sheepdog didn't catch any valuable clues this time, he knew that these "loyal dogs" would not let Ye Feng go easily. The only thing we can do is to prepare ourselves to deal with it.
Sean knew that with Luo's methods, this was by no means the end.
Still, Sean found some solace in this upsetting moment. He didn't expect that Louis, who always hid in the corner and kept silent, was actually a explorer. And it has been promoted to queen level.
It can only be said that the "slanderer" was too cautious. Even when he was confiding to the goddess, he did not reveal the secret behind his mask.
Regarding Rhodes' rescue, it was entirely planned by Louis. If it weren't for him this time, Shepherd might have opened a breakthrough and spied on the existence of Yefeng's faith.
Regardless, one more loyal Black Feather Guard has been added.
Sean's premonition soon came true. Although the believers have entered a period of complete silence, the actions against them have not stopped and become increasingly dirty. Some low-level seekers began to secretly harass and attack believers. Just relying on the night wind blessing provided by faith can no longer completely resist the attacks of mysterious practitioners. The three black feather guards began to run in the dark to protect the innocent believers who were attacked...
Although there is no risk of being completely exposed to the authorities for the time being, Sean has clearly noticed that there is a powerful force secretly targeting the still young Yefeng Faith.
In order to deal with this sudden attack, Sean used his spare divine power to strengthen the effect of the night wind's blessing. Even without special bodyguards, it would be difficult for low-level explorers to disturb the spirits of believers.
Not only that, he mobilized the only three Black Feather Guards currently: Three-sounding Nighthawk, Remembrancer, and Slanderer, putting them on high alert. With the support of the Talking Network, they took turns running around the New Testament City to respond at any time. It can provide protection to believers who are in danger. Occasionally, he will entrust his explorers who are not members of the Black Feather Guard to solve troubles.
Sporadic conflicts are occurring everywhere, and an undercurrent of struggle is continuing...
