Blasphemers

After bringing the woman back to the Special Response Department, they blindfolded her, restricted her Possession Superpower, and began the interrogation.

"Tell me the truth, answer whatever I ask," Xiao He commanded in an "Absolute Command," and the woman nodded. Xiao He then turned to Cui Man Cui Man, who checked the list of questions to be asked before approaching the woman.

"Shen Yuping, 48 years old, a local of Beichang City," Cui Man said, checking the old woman's file. "Divorced, living alone, no children. She became a Christianity at the age of 36. She is usually charitable and kind. Her neighbors describe her as 'warm-hearted' and 'kind'..."

As she spoke, Cui Man crossed her arms. "Why would such a kind person want to assassinate 'Yinglong'?"

"I'm not trying to assassinate him," Shen Yuping said calmly. "I'm sending him back to God. People with Superpower are reincarnated angels; they are God's messengers. But this world is too filthy; it doesn't deserve these angels."

"..." Xiao He didn't know how to respond to that remark.

"You previously said you needed to contact the Three Sacred Overseers as soon as possible," Cui Man continued, "Do you have an organization behind you? What's its name? How many people are in it?"

Shen Yuping bit her lower lip, unwilling to answer. Xiao He was slightly worried that she might commit suicide.

"In Christianity and Catholicism, suicide is a sin, and one will go to hell after death," Cui Man whispered back. "So don't worry, I'm sure such a devout believer wouldn't commit suicide."

Xiao He nodded, and he and Cui Man continued to wait for Shen Yuping's reply.

Shen Yuping resisted for a while, but ultimately couldn't resist the effects of the "Absolute Command" and replied, "The organization behind us is called the Blasphemers. It's composed of a group of believers who all agree that 'Mutant' deserve to die..."

This organization is composed of a group of fanatics. It started by denouncing the actions of the Mutant, but gradually expanded and attracted more like-minded people to join, forming the "Blasphemers," BS organization we know today.

However, this "BS" is just an organization, not a cult, because it is actually divided into three factions, each with different viewpoints: the Father Faction, the Mother Faction, and the Son Faction.

The Mother Faction believes that the Mutant are apostles of God, reincarnated angels, and that this corrupt world is unworthy of these angels. Therefore, the Mother Faction hopes to send the angels back to God's side, just like Shen Yuping.

The Son Faction believed that the Mutant were demons who had stolen God's power and were blasphemers. They believed that Mutant must be killed and sent back to where they belonged, which was hell. This was because only the "Son of God" was qualified to act on God's will, but the Mutant had performed God's "miracles," which, in the eyes of these fanatics, was a blasphemy against the Son of God.

The Father Faction, on the other hand, believe that only the Heavenly Father can determine whether the Mutant are angels or demons, and their mission is to send these Mutant back to the Father so that he can make the judgment.

"What Blasphemers!" Xiao He retorted irritably. "It's just a bunch of fanatics spouting twisted logic! All they're saying is kill the Mutant, right?! All that nonsense! Aren't you Mutant yourselves too?!"

"We will not use the abilities God has given us without permission," Shen Yuping replied firmly. "We will only perform miracles after receiving permission from 'revelation.' Everything we do is for 'Father.'"

"Pah!" Xiao He spat. "Let me ask you this: I've saved so many people, am I a good person?"

"You are a good person, that's why I'm sending you back to God's side." Shen Yuping said with heartache, "Don't you realize how much suffering there is in this world? This is hell, a place for sinners like us to suffer and cleanse our sins, not a place for an angel like you."

"..." Xiao He was speechless. In the end, it all boiled down to one sentence: those Mutant must die.

It's impossible to persuade someone who is self-centered, has a unique set of values, and possesses bizarre yet self-consistent logical thinking, much like Ding Xie. Once such a person has made up their mind about something and believes it's reasonable, they won't change their mind.

"How many of you are left?" Cui Man continued, "Who are the Three Sacred Overseers?"

"I don't know. We are all brothers and sisters, but we don't know anyone else," Shen Yuping replied. "The Three Sacred Overseers are the leaders of the Father Faction, Mother Faction, and Son Faction. I have never met them; I only communicate with them through revelation."

"Revelation?" Cui Man frowned and asked, "How did they give you revelation?"

"As long as I pray to the priest, he will answer me," Shen Yuping replied, then glanced disdainfully at Xiao He and Cui Man. "But you must be devout; he will not answer prayers from people like you."

Xiao He glanced at Cui Man, and the two exchanged a look.

"As expected, they are Mutant," Xiao He whispered. "The Three Sacred Overseers should all be Mutant."

"Judging from what she said, this organization should be a spontaneous one. I think the number of people is probably not large, and they are spread all over the world," Cui Man said, frowning in distress.

"I just checked," Ye Wanqing said, pressing her phone. "It seems there are quite a few cases of similar assassinations of Mutant around the world, especially in more chaotic areas... I found eight cases myself. However, so far, those assassinated are mostly weaker Mutant. Let's see if Mutant like Old Xiao who participated in Mutant Competition have been affected..."

At this point, Ye Wanqing looked at her phone screen, her face darkening. "Australia contestant Chain God (real name Hagen Morris) was found dead at home yesterday. The cause of death was a myocardial infarction, and the estimated time of death is four days ago... The body of Y Country contestant 'Truthspeaker' (real name Bower Smith) was found yesterday at his girlfriend's house, his throat brutally slit..."

It was only after investigation that they discovered that six contestants had been brutally murdered. However, the time, method, and location were all different, and these people were scattered all over the world, so no one connected the cases.

Xiao He then realized that this Mutant Competition was essentially giving the Blasphemers organization an assassination list.

"What annoying guys..." Xie Haining frowned and sighed. "Mutator are already a headache for us, and now we have to deal with these fanatical cultists."

Thinking of this, Xiao He turned to Shen Yuping and asked, "What is your attitude towards Mutator?"

"They are devils from hell! Demons in human skin! They've revealed their true colors after being summoned by that devil named Adam!" Shen Yuping said through gritted teeth. "We will spare no effort to destroy these devils!"

"Then what do you think about us joining forces to deal with these demons?" Xie Haining asked tentatively.

"Oh, you've already suffered so much. Let us humans handle these things ourselves," Shen Yuping said with a kind smile. "You just need to live happily in heaven; these things will only dirty your hands."

"No, there's no possibility of communication." Xie Haining shook his head. "What should we do with her?"

"Anyway... let's keep her locked up here for now." Cui Man rubbed her forehead in frustration. "Her Possession ability is still quite troublesome... and if she possesses Mutant Possession, she can use that mutant's Superpower."

Xie Haining shrugged. "The good news is, this organization isn't as large as we imagined. The Three Sacred Overseers probably only communicate with the followers of the Mutant, so the entire organization is probably only about a hundred people, mostly Mutant haven't shown themselves in public. Now we know why some Mutant don't want to show themselves..."

"Take a break. Go remind the Mutant in the Special Response Department to be careful," Cui Man waved her hand and said. "I need to organize the questions I need to ask later."

Ye Wanqing nodded in agreement. "After all, it's easier to dodge a spear in the open than to guard against an arrow in the dark... But I think the Mutant in our country are relatively good, since they wear masks when they operate to avoid revealing their identities. Unlike the Mutant abroad."

The group arrived at the common lounge, where others were hydrating and chatting.

"Brother Xiao, are you alright?" Xia Yu asked with concern. "I heard you were assassinated."

"It's alright, it's me after all." Xiao He smiled and patted her head, then turned to the crowd, "How are you all? How's training going lately?"

"It's alright," Xie Haining said, glancing at Yue Feng, Zhang Ming, Han Tianyu, An Xiuru, and the others behind him. "Everyone is improving quickly, but there's a tricky problem. My style isn't suitable for everyone; they have to find a fighting style that suits their Superpower. The current situation doesn't allow for a playful attitude."

Xia Yu explained to Xiao He, "Brother Xiao, you don't know yet, do you? After everyone practices for a while longer, we'll be assigned to different cities to be responsible for special tasks, like dealing with Mutator and rule-breaking Mutant."

"Huh?! Then, doesn't that mean we're going to have to separate?" Ye Wanqing asked somewhat reluctantly.

"There's no other way. After all, 'Mutator' have appeared. We have to increase our efforts to search for Mutant, and at the same time, we need to ensure that our city is not troubled by Mutator," An Xiuru said with a smile, resting her chin on her hand.

"Actually, I don't think it's necessary," Xiao He sighed.

Xie Haining shook his head. "I know you can move quickly, but what if two or more Mutator appear at the same time? In that case, the other Mutant can come in handy."

"Sigh, I suppose so," Xiao He frowned. "It's alright, I can come visit you guys anytime anyway."

"Yes," Xie Haining smiled, "Why don't you come to my house for dinner this Sunday? Xiao Jie said she wanted to treat you one more time before you left."

"It's settled." Xiao He nodded, then turned to Xia Yu and patted her head. "Doesn't that mean Xia Yu will have to live alone, separated from Sister Man? Won't it be difficult in an unfamiliar city?"

"I'm an exception," Xia Yu said with a smile. "I will continue to live with Sister Man because Sister Man's about to become the head of the Special Peacekeeping Force, and I'll be responsible for Sister Man safety."

"That's good, so it won't be easy for you, Little One, to live in a strange city," Xiao He said with a smile.

"Perhaps... I can protect..." Zhang Ming raised his hand at this moment.

Xiao He interrupted him impatiently, "Have you honed your own skills first! Stop plotting against other people's sisters!"

Xia Yu couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this, but Ye Wanqing pinched his ear and scolded him, "You're the one who should stop interfering with other people's love lives!"

"How is this interference? He's not even as strong as Xia Yu, how can he protect her?" Xiao He said irritably.

As everyone chatted idly, the atmosphere became somewhat more relaxed, dispelling the heaviness and gloom brought about by the "assassination."

But just as everyone was talking about martial arts, a dazzling light suddenly descended from the sky, turning the evening sky as bright as day.

"That location is..." Xiao He paused, while Xie Haining had already taken action, turning and running back.

Xiao He immediately followed Xie Haining: The place where the light fell was where Shen Yuping was being held!

The two returned to their previous room, and sure enough, Shen Yuping's body was now enveloped in a holy white light, with the silhouette of an archangel appearing behind her. This archangel wore a white robe, had three pairs of white wings on his back, long golden hair that reached his waist, and a delicate face and slender figure, making it impossible to tell whether he was male or female.

"Yes, I'm very sorry, Lord Saint." Shen Yuping murmured to herself with a devout expression, as if she were talking to someone.

But no one answered her, so she continued, "What? Okay, I understand."

The archangel behind her disappeared the next moment, and then a white dot of light appeared beside her.

A figure emerged from the white light. It was a white man in his mid-twenties, wearing a black and white bishop's robe, with short blond hair, tall and thin, and a peaceful smile on his face.

He squatted down next to Shen Yuping and said with a smile, "You did very well."

"Oh, thank you, Saint..." Shen Yuping said excitedly, "I never imagined I would actually get to meet you in person..."

"Shh..." the man replied with a laugh, "Leave the rest to me. Are you willing to offer me your power?"

"I'm willing, of course I'm willing!" Shen Yuping nodded repeatedly.

"Very good." The man nodded with a satisfied smile, then placed his hand on Shen Yuping's shoulder.

Shen Yuping's body trembled violently, then she collapsed to the ground, motionless. The man stood up, looked at Xiao He and Xie Haining in front of him, and smiled slightly, "Ah... you even brought me directly to Yinglong."

"You're one of the Three Sacred Overseers?" Xiao He scoffed. "You've saved me a lot of trouble."

"I am Andre, the Holy Priest of the Son Faction." The man smiled slightly, then his face instantly turned ferocious. "Aaaaah! I'm going to kill you! I will absolutely, never again let you tarnish the name of the Holy Son!"
