The unconscious cultist lying on the ground was the old farmer who greeted Fina earlier. At this moment, his eyes were closed and he was unconscious. It was obvious that he had completely fainted. As for Fangzheng, he flipped the other two over as well. Following that, he could tell that they were also villagers from the village. Fangzheng vaguely remembered meeting them before, but they had never spoken to each other.
Now, let me take a good look at Rand's true identity.
With that thought in mind, Fangzheng once again summoned the book and looked at the old man in front of him. Soon, lines of words quickly appeared on the snow-white page.
[..... Rand Joseph is a member of the Day of Destruction Church. He came here with a hidden identity and secretly spread the plague in an attempt to create the terror of the undead....]
As expected.
Fangzheng nodded as he looked at the information that appeared on the page. But just as he was about to close the page, another line of words suddenly appeared below.
[..... Rand Joseph was a loyal and honest farmer. He lived his life in the village from sunrise to sunset, but such an old man was unfortunately involved in the evil cult's conspiracy. He contracted the plague and died in fear, then became a ghoul....]
[.....???]
What's going on?
Upon seeing the two completely contradictory records, Fangzheng's mind was filled with question marks. What's going on? Why is this old man the victim and the perpetrator at the same time? Is there such a thing?
However, just as Fangzheng was puzzled, another new line of records appeared.
[..... Rand Joseph was an unfortunate and pitiful person. His parents died when he was young and he grew up alone, but this did not diminish his passion for life....]
[..... Rand Joseph was a retired veteran. He once fought against the enemy on the battlefield, but now he can only drag his incomplete body to live alone here....]
[..... Rand Joseph was a noble descendant, he....]
What the hell was going on?
If it wasn't for the fact that Fangzheng knew that it was an angel, he would have suspected that it was infected with a virus. Fangzheng only wanted information on Rand, but this damned angel somehow found a bunch of information on Rand Joseph. What was worse was that the information was contradictory and full of loopholes.
It wasn't just Rand, even the other two people beside him were the same. Earlier on, they said they were evil cultists, but later on, they became victims. A moment ago, he was described as serious and serious, but the next moment, he was described as a flirtatious and lecherous man. In short, the series of intelligence reports gave Fangzheng a headache ….
"Pa!"
Finally, Fangzheng closed the book and put it away. Although he didn't know what was going on, he was sure that the End of the Book was like a virus and couldn't be used. Fangzheng had also tried to get the answer directly through the Omniscient Angel, but in the end … there was no answer at all in the book.
It seemed that he couldn't trust his Angel too much.
Putting away the End of the Book, Fangzheng shook his head. He had already discovered that there was definitely something wrong with this place, but as for what it was, Fangzheng still didn't know. This was because there were all sorts of strange things in the Origin World, and many of them could resist the search of the Unfinished Works.
Now, it seemed that this wasn't as simple as an ordinary evil cultist trying to create a terrorist activity.
After that, Fangzheng used the spell "Mind Steal" on Rand. From Rand's memory, Fangzheng obtained information that Rand was indeed an evil cultist, and he was indeed the one who spread the plague in the village. But as for why he did it, Rand himself didn't know. He was just a low-level evil cultist. He would do whatever his superiors wanted him to do. As for why he did it, it wasn't his place to ask.
Since that was the case, he could only ask the person in question.
"Let's move on."
Through the "Mind Steal", Fangzheng learned from Rand's mind that there was a secret base of the evil cultists in this canyon. He immediately got up and led the other three forward along the mountain path.
The path in the canyon was not easy to walk. It could even be considered a little rugged, but of course, this was not a problem for Fangzheng and the others. It didn't take them long to find a cave in the depths of the canyon. At the entrance of the cave, two evil cultists in black robes were standing motionless. They were obviously on patrol duty.
"Hu Tao, you and Fina pay attention to the surroundings. Kuang San, you take the left and I'll take the right. Don't leave anyone alive. "
"Understood, Mr. Fangzheng."
Upon hearing Fangzheng's command, Kuang San smiled and nodded. Then, she quickly slipped into the shadows.
Before the guard on the left could react, dozens of arms emerged from the shadows beneath his feet, grabbing his throat and body, and pressing him against the stone wall. Before he could struggle, one of the hands exerted force and snapped the cultist guard's throat in an instant. The unlucky guard didn't even have the chance to scream as he breathed his last.
"Well done."
Just as the cult guard fell to the ground, Fangzheng retracted his greatsword, allowing the other fool who had his head chopped off to fall to the ground. The two looked each other in the eye and smiled.
"Let's move on."
Strictly speaking, these Day of Destruction cultists weren't weak in combat. They were equipped with poisoned machetes and crossbows, and even if they encountered a regular army, they would have to expend a lot of effort to defeat them. But to Fangzheng and Kuang San, these cultists weren't enough. They slaughtered all the cultists lying in ambush and guarding along the way like chopping melons and vegetables.
Occasionally, they encountered a few who tried to call the police or escape, but they couldn't escape Fangzheng's time imprisonment. Therefore, the journey was rather smooth for the four of them. Without much effort, they arrived at a cave at the end of the path.
"Seems like this is their secret hideout."
Fangzheng hid behind a stalactite, gazing down and muttering to himself. In the center of the entire cave, there was a huge furnace made of skeletons and white bones. Below the furnace, there were raging flames. Five Day of Destruction cultists in robes were kneeling around the furnace. Only a high-ranking cultist in a bright red robe stood there, praying loudly.
"We are willing to offer our blood, our flesh, our everything. Great Lord, if you hear my call, please have mercy on me and grant me supreme glory! "
"Whoosh —!!"
As the voice of the high-ranking cultist faded, Fangzheng and the others saw the flames on the furnace suddenly erupt. Then, a small glass bottle emerged from the flames and fell into the hands of the high-ranking cultist.
"Oh … Oh oh oh …!!"
The high-ranking cultist almost cried tears of joy when he saw the small bottle in front of him. He took off his hood, closed his eyes, and kissed the small bottle in his hand respectfully.
"Ah, thank the Lord, thank the Lord for his reward …"
"Huh?"
"Hmm?"
However, when Fangzheng and the others saw the true face of the high-ranking cultist, almost all of them couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock.
There was no other reason. This high-ranking cultist in a red robe was the one Fangzheng left behind — Uncle Rand.
