“Immune to Pollution”
In fact, as early as after the ghoul incident, Han Dong had doubts about this unusual passive skill.
Back then, he noticed the tiny tentacles surfacing on the outer skin of the ghoul.
The soft, writhing, tentacle-shaped things were somewhat similar to the tentacles that could grow out of Han Dong’s palm.
However.
Such an evil thing is afraid of holy water.
Han Dong did not directly go to the local church to ask for holy water, in case he reacted to the holy statues in the church. Due to the urgency of time, Han Dong never had the chance to verify this point.
Therefore, the matter of checking whether he has a reaction to holy water had been delayed until now.
Upon swallowing a mouthful of holy water.
Not only was there no discomfort or painful reaction… it rather made him feel fresh and clearheaded, without any discomfort at all.
This also allowed the stone weighing on Han Dong’s heart to be put down.
The safety management of the Holy City is actually divided into several layers.
The Public Security Bureau is just the most superficial and crude layer, its main function is to resolve some civil disputes… When a real dangerous event occurs, it must be resolved by the knights.
The second layer is the churches and secret knight information bases set up in each area.
They provide assistance to apprentice knights performing tasks in their area, professional personnel review the events that occur locally, and occasionally knights are stationed in the church itself.
The church on London Street is combined with the largest Paul Cathedral.
Currently, all members of team Cass are here.
The ceremony for purification, executed by the priest, removed the pollution from the two contaminated apprentice knights.
The holy light shone through the top of the church’s glass, vertically onto Han Dong and his companion.
A warm sensation dispersed within the body.
Han Dong even felt that if he was truly injured, his injuries would heal rapidly under the bathing of such holy light.
Furthermore, it proved an important point.
Han Dong did not have any repulsion towards these holy attributes. He was as friendly with them as any other human.
The filthy liquid smeared around Han Dong’s eyes evaporated under the illumination of the holy light… as if the ‘pollution’ was truly dispelled.
The ceremony is not yet over.
After the holy light bath, the father handed each of them a whip, pointing to a private room at the back of the church.
“Go and release your ‘stress’.”
“Stress Release”
Fortunately, in this week of study, apart from plague studies, Han Dong also took the time to look up some ‘basic knowledge’… about the subsequent ‘healing’ methods after contamination.
No matter to what extent the contamination is.
After the ‘pollution’ is removed by a holy method, ‘stress release’ must be performed.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Holy City, humans discovered that holy light magic could drive away ‘pollution’, but they did not realize this
point, nor did they consider how heavy the mental burden was for the people who suffered from visual pollution.
Some knights who had been healed on the surface continued on their journeys to battle with ‘higher beings’.
Again and again, they were healed by the holy light.
However, the mental stress in their heads was never completely released.
It directly led to the “Holy City Disaster” incident that happened eighty years ago, causing citywide panic.
In just one day, a total of thirty-eight apprentice knights and twelve knights all hanged themselves to death at their front doors… In the following three days, nearly a hundred more knights committed suicide.
The strength of the Holy City was substantially reduced. Even the council elders could not bear it any longer and issued a temporary “Knight Surveillance Act draft”, requiring all the apprentice knights or knights in the Holy City to monitor each other, with high rewards for preventing suicides.
At the same time, they accelerated the investigation into the suicide incident. The autopsies and using hypnosis-style questioning on knights with suicidal tendencies.
During the autopsy of them, it was found that the knights who had committed suicide all had severe nail scratches on their body surfaces, and some had even bitten off their own tongues.
All sorts of unfathomable self-harm were done by themselves.
It was then that people realized the problem of “stress”.
Even if the “pollution” is expelled by the Holy Light, the terrifying images echoing in their minds invisibly (during sleep, meditation, or upon seeing similar individuals, etc.) bring “stress” to the individual.
This is different from ordinary life stress, it can be classified as a new kind of mental illness with high fatality.
The knights who have fought with higher life forms or their affiliates must have enough “stress release” after receiving Holy Light Healing.
‘Self-whipping’ belongs to the most effective and most primitive method.
Later, humans also discovered a certain correlation between “stress release” and personal preferences.
Some alcoholics can relieve stress through ‘hangovers’,
Some gluttons can relieve stress through a lavish meal,
Some top students could even relieve stress through an exam,
Of course, some people who like driving can relieve stress through a hearty battle.
The simplest and most effective method is to whip oneself within the confession room of the church.
The confession room of Han Dong and Koslin are only separated by one wall.
The heavy whipping sound reached Han Dong’s ears, showing that Koslin was unceremonious to himself, and each whip could tear off the skin along with it.
However, this is very necessary… the ‘pollution’ that Koslin received this time is not light.
As for Han Dong, he intensely lashed the ground with the whip, pretending to vent is enough.
About half an hour.
Koslin walked out and was quickly treated with Holy Light by Sophia.
As for Han Dong, he is wearing a tightly sealed ‘Bird Beak Doctor Costume’, saying that he has already taken restorative medicine, and the problem is not big.
The basement of the church is a secret knight intelligence base for the London streets.
Here, there are staff members directly under the National Royal Academy of Knights, offering free services to the apprentice knights.
The staff at the intelligence base receive a ‘mental assessment’ every week, and since the workplace is right under the church, there is no need to worry about them being controlled.
The sack containing the old woman has been handed over to the professionals here.
A detailed ‘body check’ report will be generated in due time and handed over to everyone.
Inside the box.
After hearing about the horrific incident at the old woman’s house, the expression on Cass’s face became serious.
“Even with preparation, just one glance at the diary resulted in severe pollution.
The old woman’s house is two streets away from the scene of the incident. It seems that the abnormalities in the old woman must have originated from her suddenly deceased son.
It’s really good that you guys reacted in time and caught the target alive.” “It’s all thanks to our friend Andwa.” Koslin praised Han Dong again.
“Let’s discuss the details when the old lady’s report comes out… Actually, we also discovered something here, and the situation is even more serious.”
“Is there a problem with the files of the Bureau of Public Security?” Koslin asked curiously.
“No… I suspect there is a problem with the entire Bureau of Public Security, but there is no definitive evidence.
At this statement, both Koslin and Han Dong were shocked.
“What’s the matter?”
“There must have been more than one member of the Bureau of Public Security who went to the scene of the incident… The Beke family’s mansion has a private garden, covering an area of over 800 square meters, coupled with such a serious murder incident.
The Bureau of Public Security would never send only one person for the investigation, at least 30% of the staff would have gone to the scene, or even more.
I suspect that the Bureau of Public Security has been controlled secretly..”
