The night was as dark as ink, as it dyed the sky, it covered the stars and the crescent moon.
In front of St. Paolo School, under the light of the torches, the doctors were still busy. Their heavy crow outfits made them sweat profusely, panting heavily.
However, none of them would take off the extremely effective protection against the plague.
Especially after Sister Moni fell ill, the doctors had a new understanding of the severity of the plague this time.
"We need more potions!
And … "
"This street block must be quarantined!"
One of the doctors said to the leader of the group.
His words were filled with seriousness.
He knew what they would have to face once they were quarantined.
They could only go in, not out.
Whether it was the living or the dead!
If the plague wasn't effectively controlled and continued to spread … soon enough, the street would turn into a dead zone.
In the end, a huge fire would burn the place down.
Even if there were still people alive inside.
From a certain aspect, the living would be the target of the fire!
Only by burning all of them to death could the plague be stopped.
"Quarantine?"
Sister Moni's disciple muttered softly.
He knew some secrets but it was also a fact that the plague was getting harder to control.
Comparing the two, the doctor called out to the other doctors around him.
"Everyone!
We are facing a much more difficult and dangerous situation than we thought!
We … have to quarantine the street! "
After a slight pause, the doctor said.
The other doctors went silent.
In fact, when they answered the call and appeared at the scene, they were already prepared for this.
A couple of doctors looked at each other before nodding at their leader.
"Thank you, everyone.
I swear to be with you all, whether you go to the Kingdom of Dawn or fall into hell! "
The doctor then lit up the fireworks beside him.
Souuu!
A sharp air-breaking noise broke the silence of the night. Everyone saw the red snake of Pusuman blossoming under the night sky.
Everyone's heart sank when they knew what it meant.
Chief John, who had been paying attention to the scene, pressed down on his hat and spoke to his deputy in a heavy tone, "Lock down the five streets around St. Paolo School, impose a curfew on all the streets, anyone who dares to rush out will be shot dead!"
"Yes, sir!"
Leschuder pursed his lips and replied in a low voice, not as loud as before.
After giving an affirmative answer, the deputy was still looking at John, hoping that something would change.
"Go."
"Do you want more people to die in there?"
"A street block or a city. Don't you know how to choose?"
"I know. This isn't fair!"
"But damn it, now is not the time to talk about fairness!"
Unfortunately, Chief John didn't change anything.
Not only did he not change his attitude, he even berated him loudly.
A roaring voice echoed in the street. The deputy chief officer and the surrounding officers trembled.
Yes, it's unfair to the people in that block.
But would it be fair to the entire city to let it go?
The police officers moved into action.
John stood at the end of the street, looking at the dark sky. He placed his hand on his chest, where there was a silver wine jug. The jug contained the holy water of the Church of Dawn.
"Relying on an illusory existence? I used to think that it was ridiculous."
"But now, I hope that you are real!"
"If you really exist, open your eyes and look!"
"That is the place where you performed your miracles!"
"That is the place where your believers first gathered!"
"Are you going to abandon them like this?"
John muttered to himself.
Not only the chief officer, similar mutterings were heard all over the place.
This was especially true for the elderly.
They had lived through the eras of the past when they were young, so they might have adapted to the new era during normal times, but when their lives were at stake, some of the marks branded in their biological instincts would come into play.
Let alone the people who gathered in front of St. Paolo School.
They prayed and paid attention to the situation.
So, when a certain part of St. Paolo School was set ablaze, everyone saw it.
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
Shouts sounded, the people wanted to put out the fire.
However, they were stopped by the doctor.
"Don't panic, the school security team will handle the situation. Now, please take care of your sick family members, don't cause any more trouble for St. Paolo School."
The reasonable words and the doctor's prestige made the people around him quiet down.
However, some of the people hiding in the shadows were the complete opposite.
They dashed out from the shadows one after another and swiftly headed towards the small chapel.
"We did it!"
Gateli and the leader of the Revival Society who followed the crowd were overjoyed.
Although they had expected success, when the real success happened, it was hard for them to conceal their excitement.
"Prepare the things, we are going to welcome the descent of the New God!"
Said the leader of the Revival Society.
"Em."
Gateli nodded and took out a palm-sized box from his bosom.
Similar to Gateli, the leader of the Revival Society also took out the same box.
In simple words, each of them had half of the key items for the descent of the New God, it was the key to their cooperation.
"Don't forget your promise!"
Said Gateli.
"And please remember what you said!"
Said the leader of the Revival Society.
Then, the two of them smiled in tacit understanding.
But soon enough, the smile froze on their faces.
They saw the place that was on fire.
But it was just a few haystacks, not St. Paolo Church.
Kieran who was holding the torch beside the haystacks was smiling as if he was the host welcoming his guests, greeting the crowd.
"Good evening, everyone!"
His voice was calm and calm.
However, when he heard the voice, Gateli's face turned purple.
"Y-You …"
Gateli wanted to say something, but there was a lump in his chest, making it impossible for him to make a sound.
"You said I wasn't provoked by you?
I'm very doubtful, I'm a suspicious person.
"You used my paranoia to make me suspect Sister Moni. Then … have you ever thought that compared to the familiar Sister Moni, a stranger like you is more worthy of my suspicion?"
Of course, I have to thank you for luring out these rats that were hiding, it saved me a lot of time and allowed me to catch them all in one go! "
Kieran's words were followed by the burning of the haystacks beside him. It was like slaps after slaps on Gateli's face, causing the heir to the count's face to change again and again.
"Trash!"
The leader of the Revival Society who was still smiling at each other a moment ago said without the slightest courtesy.
"You!"
Gateli glared angrily at his collaborator but he couldn't say anything to refute.
Because facts speak louder than words.
Meanwhile, Kieran also turned his attention to the leader of the Revival Society.
Unlike the calmness when he looked at Gateli, when he looked at the leader, Kieran's eyes had a sense of coldness with killing intents.
"It's been a while!
"What shall I call you?"
"Is it the leader of the Revival Society?"
Or the captain of St. Paolo's security team, Reed?
