After that, Duanmu Huai and Okegis were taken to a church and temporarily detained... But Duanmu Huai did not mind. He truly needed to figure out what exactly had happened in this city.
The priestess girl named Lorena did not hide anything either, quickly explaining the situation to Duanmu Huai.
It turned out that murders had been occurring within the Holy City for some time, leaving its residents deeply unsettled. According to some survivors who had witnessed the incidents, they had seen a doll girl with silver-white hair committing the murders. Thus, the Holy City had been investigating and searching for the culprit during this time...
