The entire cafeteria was disturbed by the scream.
Immediately, all the ferocious gazes turned to the Green Goblin at the back of the cafeteria who was stirring a large ladle. The midget-like man shuddered and screamed.
"I'm not … I didn't …"
He explained in horror, "I swear! I only threw an insole in! "
Well …
Huai Shi now knew where the magical insoles of the table of people went. So, the smell of feet in the soup was really the smell of feet!
No matter what, let's tie this bastard up and beat him up first!
But soon, someone discovered that the person who fell to the ground was really poisoned.
The toxin was very mild, like a snake venom, but the dosage was not high. Dark creatures had a high resistance to poison. As long as they did not encounter a specific poison, drinking diluted soup would at most make their mouths numb.
But there was no doubt about the existence of the toxin.
Immediately, the Green Goblin was hung up.
Then, a group of people scooped up half a dead pig, two boots, and a green stinky insole. It seemed to be the magical insole.
Now it seemed that the insole was indeed very magical. After it was thrown into the soup, it absorbed a lot of poison … Otherwise, most people here would have suffered.
But this did not prevent the Green Goblin who lost the insole and the guy who lost the insole from being hung up by the angry passengers and beaten to the point that they could not breathe out.
Then, after an inspection, more than one person came to a conclusion.
The food was really poisonous.
What was worse was that not only the food in the cafeteria, but even the food and meat in the cold storage and the water on the ship were poisoned … In order to avoid being discovered, the dosage was quite small, but it still could not stop the accumulation of the poison over a long period of time.
If it wasn't for the stinky insole, it would have been too late by the time they realized it.
Although Huai Shi had taken a simple sample, without the alchemy equipment in his room, it was difficult to determine what kind of poison it was.
Just as he was about to go back to his room to do an analysis and see if he could make an inferior antidote based on the routine in Van Helsing's memory, he suddenly heard a hysterical scream from the crowd.
"It's her!"
A stooped man with a face full of ulcers jumped up and pointed at a figure in the crowd. "It must be that woman who poisoned him! During the day, my friend and I were almost poisoned to death by her! "
This voice was so familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
Damn it!
This was the bastard who had knocked him out!
When Huai Shi finally reacted, he suddenly had a bad premonition. Following his finger, he saw a stunned Hila.
"It wasn't me."
Hila frowned and looked over coldly. The person with the ulcers shrank back, and his expression became even more vicious. "If it's not you, who else could it be? Could it be that the sores on my face grew by themselves? "
Someone's expression became obscene. "Now that everyone is here, whether or not it was you who poisoned them, wouldn't it be clear if everyone searched for them?"
Hila looked at him indifferently, and the man's smile froze. He subconsciously took a few steps back, but very quickly, he became unyielding again. "Am I wrong? I saw you poisoning someone during the day with my own eyes! That person is still lying in the cabin, unable to get out of bed! "
Under the shouts of those few people, the surrounding people's gazes were attracted. After hearing that guy's vivid description, their gazes toward Hila became unfriendly.
Huai Shi tried to speak, but he heard Ai Qing's voice. "I suggest we wait and see."
"Just watch?"
"Don't tell me you can make a guarantee for her?" Ai Qing asked back. "Can you be sure that she didn't do anything when you were unconscious? Also, since you were unconscious for so long, why would she suddenly splash water to wake you up? "
Huai Shi was stunned and speechless.
"Everyone, calm down." Beside Hila, the prostitute with a smile said, "Trust me, there's some misunderstanding here."
"Misunderstanding my ass!"
As if afraid that things were not serious enough, the man with the ulcers screamed. "She just wants to kill us! These two b * tches might be in cahoots! "
The prostitute's smile froze for a moment. She looked at the man with the ulcers, and her expression revealed an almost tangible fierceness and malevolence. The chilling coldness finally made him shut his mouth.
They finally understood that this was not a place to talk about reason and evidence.
This was a vast ocean far away from all civilized places. On a cruise ship with nowhere to dock, the passengers did not want evidence and clues, nor did they want weak and pitiful victims. Instead, they wanted dark creatures that preyed on the weak.
Poison?
What a joke. Was there anyone on this ship who did not know how to use poison?
Some people's farts were poisonous gas!
In the short moment of silence, the crowd that was about to erupt stopped. They were stared at by that vicious gaze. The chaos that was about to erupt seemed to have died in the womb.
Until someone in the crowd suddenly released a black shadow and attacked in Hila's direction.
It was unclear whether it was a Gu bug, Tame Tou, or something similar. The Elemental parasite with thick negative energy flew in the air and pounced toward Hila.
The prostitute was finally completely enraged. She roared and raised her sharp claws, wanting to break that guy's neck. But then, a cry of surprise sounded from the crowd.
Unbelievable.
The moment the parasite landed on Hila's body, there was a shattering sound. It was actually burned into black smoke and dissipated in an instant.
In a ray of light …
That ray of light was so weak that it disappeared in a flash. However, in the darkness, it was so eye-catching. It was like a crane in a flock of chickens, setting off an almost monstrous tide.
Beside her, the woman with a face full of dust was the first to bear the brunt of the light. A burn mark appeared on her hand, tearing apart the layer of makeup covering her skin. It briefly revealed the loose skin covered in wrinkles and dark scars that looked like age spots.
"A believer?"
Someone said with a trembling voice. "She … she … she's a believer!"
In the entire restaurant, everyone stood up in shock. At first, they were in disbelief. Then, their eyes became fierce and ferocious. In the crowd, a woman with unkempt hair stood up directly and pointed at Hila. She seemed to be chanting something in her mouth. But soon, the invisible curse was bounced away.
A faint halo rose above Hila's head.
Stigmata — the symbol of a believer.
At the same time, it was also the only level one stigmata in the Holy Spirit Lineage. Whether it was the Righteous, the Angels, or even Lazarus, all the stigmata in the Holy Spirit Lineage extended from this foundation.
It was different from the other lineages, where tens of thousands of paths led to one. It used one as the foundation and extended thousands of paths before finally returning to nothingness.
The reason why the Holy Spirit Lineage could reach such a large scale was related to this structure.
As long as one drank the blessed holy water and was baptized, then the baptized person would become a potential member of the believer. In other words, as long as one drank the holy water and was baptized by the priest, then after the sublimation was completed, one could automatically become a 'believer' by chanting two sentences from the Holy Bible.
It was simple and convenient, with no side effects, fast and convenient, and it could be said that there was almost no cost at all. Even if only one out of ten people chose to become a believer, then the Holy Spirit Lineage would gain a loyal member.
Most of the parents of the babies who were baptized at birth were devout believers. Under the influence of such a family atmosphere, very few people would make other choices. Moreover, the Holy Spirit Lineage had a large business, and the treatment was never bad. The use of the stigmata of 'believer' could be said to be widespread. In terms of cost-effectiveness, there were not many who could compare.
On this foundation, the Holy Spirit Lineage had grown to a terrifying scale that almost dominated the entire West in just a few hundred years. And what supported this behemoth was countless believers at the grassroots level.
There were countless Ascenders like Hel.
Even the name 'stigmata' came from the scars that appeared on the body of the believers after they advanced.
If it was anywhere else, Hila would definitely be respected and welcomed by the people. No matter where she went, no one would make things difficult for her.
Except here.
Except on this ship where the dark creatures gathered …
Here, except for Huai Shi, everyone was a sinner who could not tolerate the dark creatures of the Holy Spirit Lineage. They were chased, suppressed, and hunted by the Tribunal.
There were even many subspecies and origins of vampires, and it was not exclusive to the Holy Spirit Lineage. Moreover, even in the Holy Spirit Lineage, this was a secret among secrets, and not many people knew about it. Even if he was accidentally exposed, Huai Shi could still insist that he was a Slavic lineage or a Haitian lineage Troll.
But believers were different.
A unique lineage was simply the signature of the Holy Spirit Lineage …
In an instant, even Huai Shi was stunned. He did not expect that there was an ally hiding on the ship. But right after that, he heard a clamorous roar and screams that sounded like a tidal wave.
The entire restaurant was in an uproar.
All the passengers were roaring and surrounding her with ferocious faces, revealing their cruel appearances. A dark aura spread out as if it was solid, suppressing the dim halo until it was on the verge of collapse.
"Spy!"
"Traitor!"
"Kill her!" Someone roared. "Tear her into pieces!"
All the scarlet eyes stared at Hila, but the girl only pursed her lips tightly and did not say anything. The hand holding the knife trembled slightly and was swallowed by the surging crowd.
A violent aura appeared on every person who boarded the ship.
Everyone here had once been chased and hunted by the Holy Spirit Lineage. Everyone was a failure who could not survive in the Old World. The more painful it was, the more they hated those who lived under the sun.
When endless hatred and anger gathered, the scene was completely out of control.
As for the woman with a face full of dust, she immediately cut off her relationship with Hila and hid outside the crowd. Hila retreated step by step and was already suppressed to a corner of the restaurant, surrounded by the angry crowd.
However, just as the crowd was attacking and pressing, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind and pulled away the people in front of him, almost violently kicking the people blocking the way to the side.
Step by step, he walked forward. Then, he picked up a chair and smashed it on the face of the person with the ulcers, completely smashing that excited face of exultation.
Finally, with a sudden punch, he smashed the table in the way.
Amidst the noise, Huai Shi stepped on the table he smashed and roared.
"Hey! That's enough! "
