Chapter 1161 Join forces (I am exhausted when riding a bicycle)


    “Huh……”


    The howling cold wind came outside the window, and inside the wooden house, it was extremely quiet.


    Perhaps because she was also a woman, Sharon didn''t care too much about Duanmu Huai. At present, she had completely taken off the nun''s suit she was wearing and put it in front of the stove to dry it. I was just wearing white lace underwear and pure white suspender stockings - is it really okay for a nun to wear it like this?


    Although Duanmu Huai silently likes this, after all, a beautiful woman with blond hair and blue eyes and good figure dressed like this, she can naturally feast her eyes. Unfortunately, she is now a clone and can''t do anything.


    Let’s read a book. I only read half of the ancient book on the way. The mobile phones in the deep mountains and old forests did not even have signals. In addition to complaining that this broken local infrastructure is not good, I can only read the book.


    However, the more Duanmu Huai turned around, the more he felt that this was completely contrary to his investigation direction. This ancient book is more like a strange storytelling in Chinese Studio in this country, and records some strange ancient supernatural stories. Of course, the story of the witch is also written, and it even describes how to make a contract with the witch to serve him... It is naturally not easy to achieve this.


    As a proof of the contract, the consideration to be paid must be specified, and both parties must also agree, and a name must be given. The price you pay can be chosen by yourself, such as soul, memory, lifespan, five senses, etc.... Of course, the higher the price you pay, the stronger the power the other party can use...


    Well, it is quite good as an ancient book, but Duanmu Huai thinks it is not the same as the witch he investigates.


    At least I saw that witch in the factory before, probably didn’t sign a contract with someone... it shouldn’t be?


    To be honest, Duanmu Huai was not sure about that suspicious white animal. After all, editor Teng Chuan also said the witch''s kiss or something. Is that a curse? Or contract? If it is said that the witch is driven at the cost of other people''s lives, at least it seems that this book is not impossible?


    “I said…”


    Just as Duanmu Huai stared at the ancient book in front of him and fell into thinking, suddenly, Sharon''s voice sounded.


    "Why did you come here? Look at your outfit, you probably didn''t come to climb or hunt."


    "Miss Sharon is the same. Why did you come here?"


    Duanmu Huai is not the kind of passive attitude that is trapped in a passive position. To be honest, Duanmu Huai also knows that he looks suspicious. But on the other hand, Sharon''s dress is equally suspicious.


    Two people dressed in suspiciously gathered together... Well, it will only double the suspicious index.


    But Sharon answered Duanmuhuai''s inquiry very neatly.


    “I am a nun who belongs to the Star Heaven Church.”


    “Startian Church?”


    “Yes, we are religious organizations that advocate love all over the world, love everyone equally, and bring God’s mercy to everyone – this is our creed.”


    "Hey... there is such an organization."


    Duanmu Huai was not surprised by Sharon''s answer. As a judge, he had seen more strange religious organizations, and he did not have more of them.


    "So why Miss Sharon came here? Isn''t there anyone here?"


    If you preach, will you go a little further?


    "Of course, I came here not to spread the mercy of love to the world, but to protect the world from the threat of evil."


    “…………”


    I have a premonition that it is not good or bad.


    "Actually, according to our investigation, there is a powerful and evil demon sealed here, and this time I came here to completely destroy it by the church''s order!"


    So that''s what it means to be a fellow traveler.


    Speaking of this, Sharon closed his mouth and stared at Duanmu Huai, obviously looking like "it''s your turn".


    Well, okay, there is nothing special to hide.


    "My name is Duanmu Ai... My purpose of coming here is actually similar to Miss Sharon."


    "As similar to me?"


    "Yes, I am affiliated with the Court of Justice and the Grand Judge of the Court. I came here because I wanted to investigate the incident called the Witch. Because there are records in ancient books, I came here."


    “Judgment?”


    I have to say that when Sharon heard Duanmu Huai’s answer, he showed a somewhat surprised expression.


    "Sorry, I''ve never heard of this organization."


    "This is normal. The court has only one responsibility, which is to protect humanity at all costs and eliminate all existences that threaten humanity... Therefore, we will not appear in public."


    "I see."


    Hearing this, Sharon''s expression became much more relaxed.


    "So, can we be considered companions?"


    "At present moment... After all, I came here just to investigate the situation about the witch. As for what kind of existence that witch is, I still know nothing about it. Of course, if the other party is determined to be a threat to human beings, then as the judge, I will of course choose to purify it."


    "So, it seems that our purpose is the same."


    To be honest, Duanmu Huai''s answer was completely unfounded, but Sharon seemed to be able to understand Duanmu Huai''s meaning - how to say it, it seems that because everyone does this, we can feel each other''s sincerity. "If possible, can you tell me about the court?"


    "Of course there is no problem."


    Just as Duanmu Huai started chatting with Sharon, in the late night, Qian Shu was looking at the dinner in front of him with a embarrassed look on his face.


    "Woo...To be honest, I haven''t eaten DA''s cafeteria for a long time, and the taste is still the same as before, especially this cooking lettuce..."


    "I think DA''s chef skills are great."


    Unlike Qianshu, who showed his picky attitude towards eating, Ayano Yuki was very calm and finished the food in front of him.


    "So Miss Qianshu, do you have any additional explanations about the trial court?"


    "Even if I ask me to add, I just heard about the court since I was a child."


    "Do you protect humanity at all costs and eliminate all organizations that threaten humanity''s existence... To be honest, I can''t imagine the existence of such an organization..."


    “Well…ah, let’s talk about it.”


    It seems to be to change the topic, or maybe it was suddenly thought that Qian Shu''s eyes lit up.


    "I heard Xiao Ai tell the rules of a courtroom. What I think is quite interesting is the courtroom''s judgment criteria for ''humanity''."


    “What are the criteria for determining humans?”


    Hearing Qianshu''s answer, Ayano Yuki''s eyes lit up.


    "Yes, according to Xiao Ai, there is only one standard for the court to determine whether the other party is a human..."


    As he spoke, Qian Shu raised his hand, compared the pistol posture, and pointed to his head.


    “It’s the skull.”


    "……Skull? Is there any statement?"


    "Well... I remember Xiao Ai said that in the universe, the human skull is a symbol of purity and sacredness. Therefore, even if a person''s whole body is completely transformed into a robot, as long as his skull is still human, the Inquisition will treat it as a human. But on the other hand, as long as the skull is not a human, it will be an alien to the Inquisition, whether good or bad, it is an object that needs to be completely eliminated."


    "This is really... a simple and crude standard."


    After listening to Qianshu''s story, Ayano Yuki''s expression was a bit complicated, and Chishu was also familiar with this expression. After all, when she heard Duanmu Huai say it, she probably had the same expression as Ayano Yuki.


    After all, as an avid movie fan, Qian Shu has also watched many movies. Of course, many movies also discuss what "people" are.


    Some people think from the way of thinking, some can experience emotions, and some can explain the soul and other things... However, compared to these ambiguous ways, the judgment of the court is simple and rough. If your skull is a human, you will have a chance to live. If your skull is not a human, then die, without exception.


    To be honest, this standard really scared Qianshu.


    That is, the white animal ran faster. If it ran slower, according to the standards of the court, after Duanmuhuai killed the witch, the next one was to deal with it.


    "But...is it actually based on the universe? Such an organization is really rare."


    When I first heard about the Inquisition, Ayano Yuki thought it was a religious organization, but she didn''t expect that the other party was so large that it was not even limited to one planet, but was directly based on the entire universe... Could it be that if there were aliens, if the aliens did not meet the standards of the Inquisition, would the Inquisition attack him?


    No, this is too exaggerated.


    Thinking of this, Ayano Yuki shook her head. Most of the time, this is just a religious creed and should not be taken too seriously. No matter what, it is too exaggerating to destroy aliens or something.


    Although Ayano Yukiki did not take it too seriously, it does not mean that the same is true for others, for example...


    "I see."


    After listening to Duanmu Huai''s introduction, Sharon nodded thoughtfully.


    "The skull represents the purity and sacredness of human beings... It is indeed a very special angle. We have never thought about it from this angle before. But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense..."


    As she spoke, Sharon stared at Duanmu Huai.


    "So, Miss Duanmu, according to you, will the skulls of those demon possessed by the demons be recognized as long as they are humans?"


    "It mainly depends on whether they pose a threat to humanity. If it does pose a threat, it will inevitably be purified."


    Duanmu Huai also knew from Sharon that this world collectively referred to people who gain power by trading with sub-space demons as demon possessors. Of course, from the perspective of the Inquisition, this statement is a bit less rigorous... but it is not harmful.


    Although the two came from different forces, they had a very pleasant night. After all, there was no substantial dispute over interests between the Xingtian Church and the Inquisition, and the Inquisition did not preach. So soon, Duanmu Huai and Sharon agreed to join forces to work the next day to find the witch sealed in the legend.


    I have to say that it is indeed because there are many people and great power. Although Duanmuhuai has clues in his hands, he doesn''t know much about the world. However, Sharon had few clues in his hands, but she was relatively familiar with the world, so early the next morning, the two immediately exchanged information and then launched an action.


    And hard work pays off. After spending most of the day, the two finally found the place where the witch sealed in the legend.
