"So we still lost all leads?"
Although this was the expected result, Rorschach was still rather displeased after hearing the results of his interrogation.
His economy had lost more than one million divine tributes, and he was destined to be in red for the rest of the month. He still couldn't find anyone to take revenge on, so of course he wouldn't be happy.
Still, there was nothing he could do. Evil cultists, especially high-level ones who had been visited by the Evil God's will, were no longer normal individuals.
If they wanted to die, they wouldn't even need to commit suicide. With a single thought, only rotten flesh would be left behind.
He had managed to capture a few low-level and low-level cultists, but unfortunately, he didn't know much about them.
This was already common practice. High-level cultists were impossible to capture alive for interrogation, while low-level cultists had no information at all. Basically, the cultists' leads were cut off like this.
"All I know is that they've infiltrated us since half a year ago, and that they're planning something big … That's meaningless. Evil cultists don't make any big news, so there's no need for them to come."
It wasn't that he hadn't gained anything, but it definitely wouldn't be possible to dig a hole for himself.
"Rorschach, Rorschach, I have good news!"
Eh, there was even good news? Rorschach was rather astonished to see Isabella running over with a smile.
Evil God cultists had already appeared, so what good news could there be? Were they stupid enough to write down their plans on paper without having the time to destroy them?
"The good news is that not only were there evil cultists here yesterday, there were evil cultists in other churches as well. All seven churches were affected, and we suffered the least losses. When you're down on your luck, don't you feel happier to hear that others are even worse off? "
What kind of good news is this?! Rorschach really wanted to loudly retort and deny it, but what came out of his mouth was an indescribable admission.
"Yep, I do feel happier … Wait a moment, isn't my persona a bit broken?"
"Heehee, I told you that you'd feel happy to hear that others are down on their luck."
From a certain standpoint, Rorschach was the most honest of all. Sometimes, what he thought in his head would be different from what he instinctively thought. This was a different type of person who said that he didn't want his body, but was actually quite honest … Cough, this was even more ridiculous.
"Wait a moment, I'm not just happy that others are unluckier than us … Yep, now that everyone has been tricked by the Evil Gods, the investigation and revenge won't be limited to just one person. The search will be much more intense."
It was a casual excuse, but the more he said it, the more certain he became because it was the truth.
The thugs who only attacked one family were terrorists, while the other families were free to act like mad dogs. Naturally, they would become public enemies.
Taking revenge and searching alone would be a waste of manpower and money. Now that their own side had suffered the least damage, they could just follow the main force and save a lot of money.
"Ahem, it seems that you've been driven a little crazy by the recent financial pressure. You're always thinking about this."
After this incident, it was inevitable to exchange information. The Game Church had indeed suffered fewer losses than the Evil Gods, and they even managed to find some clues.
This indirectly proved Rorschach's inference. Perhaps it was because he discovered the Evil God statue, which forced the other hidden cultists to take action ahead of time. The only cultist who remained behind was naturally captured by him.
"Send the cultists out, but make sure to share all the information we obtain."
Although it was impossible to obtain any information from the cultists themselves, it wasn't like there were no clues at all. After all, magic and Gods still existed in this world.
With these unlucky cultists as a medium, I could have Gods with the Divine Concepts of "Prophecy" and "Tracking" use their divine power to investigate. They would definitely be able to obtain some information.
In the magical world, any famous detective who relied on logical reasoning would be defeated. This was because many cases didn't rely on logic at all. The corresponding methods of investigation were naturally unscientific and illogical.
Prophecy with divine power was probably the Divine Concept that was the furthest away from Lori. There were also prophets among the spellcasters. The Game Church's most powerful one in this aspect was probably Isabella. She was an archmage who studied both arcane magic and astrology. Astrologers basically had two types of prophecy abilities.
However, looking at the Blood Clan member who was yawning and preparing to go back to sleep, Rorschach shook his head. It was better not to have high hopes.
Handing over the captured cultists to the Church that had the ability to prophecy the cultists in exchange for sharing information and verbal results would save him money and effort. Now was not the time to stand out.
Rorschach prepared to return to the headquarters. The appearance of the cultists could be an extra piece of news. It was a good chance to stir up a hot topic and warn the ordinary citizens.
An unexpected mission had been given to him.
"Patrol? Is there a need? "
"Those guys are still worried. Who can be sure that the cultists have all been activated? Some people think that the early activation is just to cover up something more important. Spies who hibernate until the most dangerous moment are the most troublesome. "
Alright, it seemed like there was no need to think about going back to rest. Not only did he have to search the entire city, but he also had to personally lead a team to investigate.
"Yes, the first target is the public cemetery in T2."
"Huh? Why do we have to go there? Isn't that a no-man's land usually? Does anyone think that the cultists would be hiding in that kind of place? "
"No, the search is a matter for later. The ones who need you now are reinforcements … We've taken care of the cultists' statues, but it doesn't mean that the other Churches have done the same."
Rorschach was speechless. It had already been more than an hour, and they were still causing a ruckus?
However, Rorschach soon realized that he had underestimated the spies. Not only was the public cemetery causing a ruckus, but there were also four or five other places in the city that couldn't be cleaned up.
These spies were very good at adapting to local conditions. The other areas didn't have such suitable mud material to make the cultists' statues.
