Chen Rui bowed to the pseudo-angel and said, "So you are an angel of the Church, sir! This is all just a misunderstanding. We merely happened to be passing through."
"Lord Kulle! Do not listen to their excuses!" Chief Judge Hughes's voice rang out. "When we arrived, the ruins had just been opened, and only this man and woman were inside. Without a doubt, they are descendants of sin!"
