Xion led other teammates to conduct a deeper investigation, and the results were obvious, not much different from the previous conclusions.
The remaining traces in all aspects prove one thing. Last night, the forces of at least three lineages collided here. In addition to Radiance and Deep Darkness, the other one was a completely unknown and completely unrecorded energy reaction.
Through astrological divination, the power of darkness and the unknown power should belong to the same person. As for Radiance, it seems that it belongs to the priest. Every priest above the ceremonial level of Holy Candlemas Church is a transcendent of Radiance Spectrum.
That's what happened. Umbral Lineage's transcendent attacked the priest and then fled the scene, leaving not even a drop of blood or a hair behind.
But Xion still felt a little inconsistent, but he couldn't see where it was.
"Captain, even if you don't believe me, you still have to believe my astrology." A female team member holding a crystal ball took one look at Xion's expression and understood what he was thinking, and immediately complained.
Her astrology is the most accurate in the team, with almost no mistakes.
Xion shook his head.
"Didn't you say there was a surviving nun? Did she say anything?"
"Oh, that little nun Luna..." The old priest Elder Ade seemed to suddenly remember, "She didn't sleep all night. I have advised her to rest. If Captain Xion needs it, I can call her over and question her face to face."
"Since we are resting, then..."
Before the female team member holding the crystal ball finished speaking, she was interrupted by Xion,
"Then call her over right away."
His pupils were deep and cold, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Xion soon met the survivor. As the old priest said before, this little nun must not have had a good rest last night. Her face was haggard and her eyes were wandering. Judging from the bloodshot eyes and traces in the corners of her eyes, she must have been crying for a long time.
Warm light lit up from Xion's hands, and then fell on Sister Luna's body, sweeping away all her fatigue and fatigue.
"Thank you, sir." Luna felt that his body became lighter.
"I am the leader of the 15th team of the current seventh group Kingdom Investigation Bureau. You can call me Xion or captain Xion." Xion paused and continued, "We are investigating yesterday. The fire at the Ake Town branch church in the early hours of the evening and the death of the resident pastor are now needed. No matter what you know, how much you know, whether it is important or not, tell me everything you know about last night."
Luna nodded obediently, with thoughts and memories in his eyes.
"Yesterday was Worship Day. For a long time, Pastor Mog and I have been busy with worship... After the service ended and all the believers left, Pastor Mog prepared the ceremony alone..."
"You know the ritual?"
Hearing this question, the little nun nodded blankly.
"Well, Mog... the pastor told me these things."
Xion was silent. It was not surprising that the clergy of various religions would perform rituals after worship, and there were indeed remnants of Ritual Array at the scene. However, due to the fire, all the details about the magic circle were destroyed, and it was obvious that the fire appeared to interrupt the ceremony, so they could only simply infer that the ceremony was at least completed.
They had no idea what type of ceremony it was or what function it had.
"Are you sure that the priest is preparing the ceremony alone?"
The little nun nodded confidently.
Alone... it shouldn't be an overly complicated ritual. So what is the purpose of the mysterious person who is suspected to be a member of Dark Dawn, who wants to interrupt the ceremony?
Xion fell into deep thought, and Sister Luna continued:
"After that, I rested alone... When I woke up again, it was because of the noise coming from the church, and then I saw that the church was surrounded by raging fire... I had no way to put out the fire, so I had to go outside and call for help... The mayor and many believers came to help and successfully put out the fire, but Pastor Mog was already... Wuwuwu, he is obviously such a good person..."
It seemed that the nun didn't know much, so Xion stopped asking questions and let her female teammates comfort the sad nun.
There had been no words at this time, but Ake Town, the town elder Morgan who had been listening, suddenly spoke.
"Actually... there wasn't just one fire that happened last night..."
Xion was startled and suddenly filled with anger.
"What do you mean?"
Old Morgan was frightened and hesitantly said, "That's right... last night, there was also a fire in Orphanage in the town..."
"Why didn't you say something so important earlier!" Xion was really angry.
He could guess why the other party did not dare to say anything. After all, as the mayor, there were two fires in the town in one day. If one of them was not handled well, he would have to step down immediately. The reason why I spoke now is probably because I realized that if I continued to hide it, the consequences would be even more disastrous.
"It was a ghetto part of town... accidents happened all the time, so..."
Xion gestured to the other party to continue. In a small town in a remote area, two fires broke out in one day. He would not believe it if there was no connection between them.
"That Orphanage is also the property of the church. Pastor Mog is usually in charge..."
Xion's eyes narrowed.
"Was anyone killed? Or, how many people were killed?"
If a fire breaks out in Orphanage in the slum, it will not be an accident no matter how many people die.
"We haven't counted clearly yet... but there is a high probability that there will be no survivors..." Old Morgan wiped his sweat. It was because so many people had died that he didn't dare to mention it. But he didn't think there was a connection between the two things. The attack on the church might be a conflict of faith, but what was the purpose of burning Orphanage in the slum? Vent your anger?
Xion felt that they had to go to Orphanage. There must be clues there, or... Orphanage was burned down, which was a clue in itself.

Li Wen was walking deep in the dense forest. She had been hiking all night and all morning.
Because she wanted to avoid Kingdom Investigation Bureau, she tried her best to avoid the crowd, and even did not take the normal road.
She didn't know when Investigation Bureau would notice Ake Town. According to her understanding of the Investigation Bureau, they would usually send people over for preliminary investigation within three to five days - this was because it was Candle Sun Church's church that was burned down, and it would take at least ten days for dedicated people to search and hunt down the suspect.
This time is enough for Li Wen to leave Black Dragon Territory.
Kingdom Investigation Bureau will not tolerate any extraordinary person who is not Radiance Spectrum, Origin Essence, or Aether Spectrum to enter the kingdom. Otherwise, regardless of the reason, once discovered, they will be investigated and interrogated, and then either repatriated or imprisoned. There is no other choice.
