Chapter 529 – Useful Guy

“Let’s not say that the devil seduced you. Your bastard didn’t accept the temptation because he wanted something.”
“That’s… So…”
Hehe, can you break the other leg too?”
“No! Actually!!”

The abductor cried and blew and denounced his situation.

“Actually, I wanted to take revenge! That bastard who destroyed me!!!”
“Revenge?”
“Yes…! Revenge!!!”

It was a rather bizarre story.

He is said to have been a hardworking worker. But one day, he tried to buy a house with the money he saved, but he was scammed and all his property his was blown away.

So he tried to punish the scammer by asking everywhere, but he couldn’t do anything because he was a simple worker from a foreign country with no connections in the first place. Even the guy who cheated was a social networking guy in the city, so he said the game didn’t work.

After losing his entire fortune and failing to take revenge, he ended up in the vicious clutches of the devil who had approached him.

“No, fuck it. But what does that have to do with the kid?”
“That devil! He said he would give me the power to take revenge!”
“What if I sacrifice a baby?”

Well, I guess.
He would have told me to offer the child as a sacrifice to give him the power to avenge himself.

“Yes… That’s right… Child, no. They said they would give you strength if you offered the child as a sacrifice…”
“Huh, so I kidnapped the orphans and gave it to me? I know the devil’s baby chewed and eaten.”
“…”

He was silent on my question.

“Fuck you! Why don’t you answer me again!!!! I want to see you go crazy!”
“Ahhhhh! Yes!
“Why did you give it?”
“At that time… I thought it didn’t matter if I borrowed the devil’s power for revenge!”

This is the truth that I realized when I woke up at the director’s office. No matter how many black people were tortured and exploited by the imperialists in the sugarcane field, turning that anger on the innocent is a sin no different from imperialism.

A similar situation.

“Then I should have borrowed the devil’s power. Why, kid?”
“…Sorry Sorry!”
“No, hey. Where else should I cut to answer? It’s fucking frustrating, fuck. I don’t need your apology, so tell me why you did it.”
“Bo, I thought that the lives of the children were irrelevant as long as it was for revenge!!”

What a crazy bastard!

“Is it okay to kill those orphans?”
“…Yes. That, it is.”
“Okay. Looks like he’s trying to answer very sincerely. Very good.”

I borrowed the power of the devil to take revenge, but the devil is the one who destroys humans in the first place. There is no such thing as revenge.

“But the devil wasn’t satisfied with just one offering. Just one. I thought he’d have to do just one…! But that demon kept asking for sacrifices!!!”
“Hmm.”

When he first sacrificed an orphan, he knew he would gain the power to take revenge. But all the devil gave was weak power.

Then, bewildered, he demanded more offerings.

Even killing an orphan because he had already conspired with the devil was the death penalty. That’s why he said he couldn’t stop and continued to pay sacrifices under the pretext of revenge.

It’s like a sunk cost, so to speak.

A person who was addicted to gambling and disgraced his family his could not stop gambling because the money he had poured was a waste.

Still, it must have given him some kind of demonic power.

“Dedalt? Is this all right?”
“…That’s right, human. But I didn’t lie. A sacrifice gives you strength. Of course, there’s no way that kind of power will come from just one. It’s the fault of that person for not examining the contents of the contract properly.”

Deadalt answered while exposing his fans.

“Huh? You bastard? What are fangs?”
“What, what…!”
“What do you think you’re fucking up to?”
“Joe, it’s not fucking!”

When I asked as I twirled my fists, he shouted in bewilderment.

Hehe, is it? But bastard. It’s a long talk.”
“The words… Long?”
“You just approached it with the idea of ​​cheating, didn’t you?”
“That, that’s…”
“Left leg. Right leg. Choose one.”
“That’s right! I approached with the idea of ​​cheating! I told the truth, so no more pain!!!”

I recorded all the questions and answers on the paper I brought. Well, it’s a common occurrence. Even if it’s not a demon, this happens frequently.

However, this is precisely the evil of the devil.

Normal people don’t even do that for revenge.

It was only because the devil appeared, and because the devil offered an easier way, that he was seduced and committed the crime of genocide. Because people tend to prefer the easy way.

It’s a world like this, so if the devil rises, it would be as simple as fucking the world. That’s why religious people are desperately persecuting and oppressing.

I don’t know, but I thought that the idol war must have felt like this.

Anyway, this is enough to write about the report. It’s a story that even a saintess would like.

It can be said that the interrogation has been completed.

“Dedalt. Are there any corpses left behind?”
“…I will take some sacrifices and stay.”
“Okay?”

Then I might as well kill him.

Since the interrogation is over anyway, if only the corpse remains, there is no reason to keep it alive.

“And what’s your name?”
“My name is Nyx…”

The kidnapper’s name was Nyx.
I asked him for details.

Hehe, Nix. Yes. Very good. Where did you work?”
“It’s also the eastern loading dock…”
“And the name of the fraudulent bastard.”
“Melendo… He’s called the talkative Melendo! A vicious swindler known to all in the East!”
“Shut up, son of a bitch. What did you do well?”
“Okay.”

Anyway, the identity of the devil and the kidnapper.
And the motive for the crime and the arrest process were all recorded.

Good night. This is great.

“The true name of the Heavenly Demon God Sword is the Bowin Sword.”

I got up from my seat and immediately pulled out the Heavenly Demon Sword stuck in the wall. The black blade was reflected in the blue flame that Hildegard had lit.

“Hwaingeom is a sword that saves people.”

The true principles of fusion Confucianism are non-killing and living human beings.

With the will of the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, and with the will of Hongik Ingan.
Eliminate suffering and benefit the world widely.

“If you cut down an unclean being and bury it forever, if innocent people can survive through that. What if that is not the way to save people?”

The blade is sharp. Because it is sharp, it can cut out unclean beings. The insects that cut out their hearts are not to be forgiven.

“So, the Heavenly Demon, Kim Katt, will ask. Deadalt, Nyx. Did you atone?”
“Cow, atonement—”
“—-You guys do not deserve to atone.”

ㅡDengggung!

I swung the knife lightly and decapitated Nix. As his head his fell empty, De Dalt turned his body into smoke and tried to escape.

“This, what crazy! I’m getting out of here aaaaa!!”
“I’m dying.”

Of course, as long as there is sword skill, there is no problem.

—Suddenly.

The blade shimmering with blue blackness cut through Deadalt’s body, which turned into smoke. ㅡTuk. All that was left there was Dedalt’s corpse, which had been cut in two.

I’ve finished listening to and recording the incident, so they’re worthless now.

Needless to say, Dedalt was left with a corpse, and Nix was a low-level worker without a citizenship card, so even if I directly imposed sanctions, there would be no words.

It’s actually a perfect job.

I didn’t intend to save him in the first place, but since they might have noticed Hildegard’s true identity, I can’t leave any regrets.

“Hey! Hilde!”
“Yes! Kat-sama! Are you finished!”
“Yes! Go and call the city guards!
“Of course! Just trust Hildegard!”

ㅡSsang!

Hildegard, who only reflected his face in her, turned into smoke and disappeared.

Saint Cadia said that she sent an official letter to the city, so she’ll cooperate.

“Fucking bastards.”

Even if a devil and two corpses of a criminal were placed on a bloody scene, there was nothing wrong with it.

I looked around.

Small pieces of bone covered with black blood were scattered around. It’s an unbelievable reality that you put up with this shit just to avenge yourself. Just looking at it, it seems that more than ten people have been sacrificed.

—-I think I can hear the screams of the children.

I sat down at the table and waited for Hildegard.

I came wearing armor today, so identification is not a problem.

Soon, footsteps were heard.

ㅡ Jerking and bucking.

What came down were the city guards with stiff faces and lanterns. Those who stepped into the basement immediately burst into screams.

“Uh, uhhhhh!!! What is this!”
“The devil’s work! The devil’s work is certain!!!”
“Human bones…! No! Children’s bones!!!”
“Aaaaa!!!!!! I can’t believe it!!!!!”

As expected, they had seizures at the sight of the children’s bones.

“Woo, wow!!”
“Hey! Send this fellow over there! Don’t defile the scene!”

Some even vomited and shed tears.

In fact, it is a truly terrifying sight. I’ve gotten used to it to some extent, so there’s not much of a problem, but that kind of reaction is natural.

No matter how good your stomach is, if you see a scene like this, you will suffer mental damage.

“Nice to meet you, city guards.”
“Everyone, are you… A priest of the Brass Castle Society?”

I stood up, showed my armor, and took out my semi-priest ID from my chest.

“Quartermaster Kim Katt of the Brass Holy Angel Society. He was acting on his own to investigate the infiltrated demon under the order of the saintess of the Order. Hey, that’s the corpse of the devil and his worshipers.”
“Devil’s corpse… Huh Eok! It’s the devil’s corpse!!!!”
“I can’t believe it, aaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Call the unit commander!!!”

ㅡWoweeeee

It was truly a series of madness and astonishment. The city guards who saw Deadalt’s corpse once again vomited and shed tears.

“Where is the priest… ?”

At that time, a man who appeared to be the commander of the unit came down.

“Here he is.”
“Heo Eok! This scene…! Priest! What the hell is this!”

He, too, threw up screams in a fit of gagging.

“Calm down. We have completed the annihilation of the demon and its worshipers. Oh, I ask again. Are you in charge?”
“Chief… Are you talking about it?”
“Demons have infiltrated the city. And children have been massacred. I asked if you were in a position to take on this case.”

It’s better to talk to the person in the head to handle things gently. All arrangements have already been made. I just need to tell you.

“…”

After hearing my words, the unit commander looked around the scene and frowned.

“Oh, my God… I don’t think I can sort it out on my own. Priest. I’m sorry to trouble you, but please go to the office and testify.”
Hehe, of course it will.”
“You guys! Preserve the scene of the incident! We’re going into special management from now on! We’ll call in support, so control the number of people!”
“All right!”
“Let’s go, priest!”

I immediately followed the unit commander to the ground.

“Kat-nim. What should I do?”

When I went up, Hildegard was waiting for me.

“Go back for now. See you tomorrow.”
“Ah! I made an appointment! I can’t believe I can see you tomorrow…! Huhuhu, yes! Then I’ll go back!”

When Hildegard was sent away, the unit commander hesitated and said,

“No. Priest, please wait here. I will call the senior captain right away. It would be better to talk about this directly on the spot.”
“Well, that way would be more convenient. Go and come.”
“Four!”

The unit commander rode the waiting horse and left. There was nothing to do, so I went downstairs again and talked to the city guards.

“This, such a terrible thing…! Priest! Thank you so much! You’re solving this by yourself!”
“That’s my job.”
“As expected…! I’ve heard that the members of the Brass Holy Angel Society are very dedicated, but I never thought they would be this great!”
Hehe, if you’re interested, come to the church.”

As we were killing time by chatting, a person who appeared to be a senior commander came down before long.

He must have been in a fairly high position, so the crew saluted loudly as soon as they saw him.

It is already a noble outfit starting from the clothes.

I roughly asked the person next to me and he said he was the second highest among the city guards.

If you’re the second person in the organization, it’s perfect as a story partner.

“Uh, are you a priest…?”

He asked me with a serious face.

“That’s right. I’m Katt, a quasi-priest who was dispatched under the orders of the Holy Lady of the Brass Holy Angel Society. Are you the senior captain?”
“Oh, that’s right. Priest. But it’s the order of the saintess… What the hell is this…”
“Please check the site for a moment.”
“All right.”

I confirmed the scene with the senior commander.

First of all, he briefly explained how the devil and his worshipers were annihilated. He listened to my story while shaking his body.

“How terrible! It’s an atrocity that even God can’t forgive!”
“Of course it will. Oh, and. I have a secret talk with the senior commander.”
“Secret… You mean?”
“That’s right. It’s a business thing. I think it would be better for the two of us to go out first.”

I whispered and he nodded.

I came up to the ground with the senior captain and took a quiet inn room nearby. After entering the room with him, I took out a piece of paper that summarized the contents of the interrogation earlier.

“Because what the hell are you talking about…”
“Look at this.”
“This?”
“A document that records the fact that the quasi-priestess personally tracked down, arrested, interrogated, and judged them.”

When I said that, a small smile appeared on the senior commander’s face as if he understood my meaning. After looking at it for a while, he managed his expression hurriedly, grabbed the paper, and pretended to read.

“Oh, oh oh…! It’s amazing! I never thought you’d put it together so clearly! But why would you secretly show me this in a place like this…?”
Hehe, do you mean something else?”

His eyes gleamed with desire.

I’m going to offer you a deal of some sort.

Whatever it is, when something like this happens, it’s going to take some time to do detailed verification and all. No matter how much research I did, I had to do it on this side as well.

But that investigation has already been completed by me.

Even solved the case.

“This was an official mission given to me by the saintess of this church. Here, look at the order of the saintess.”
“Seriously, it’s the order from the saintess…”
“There’s not much time for this cadet. Can you handle it as written in the document that the cadet has arranged? Of course, I’m not very interested even if a little bit of the credit goes to the senior commander along the way. “

It was a request to do things properly in exchange for sharing his achievements.

“Oh, I see!”

Hearing my words, he got up from his seat and lowered his head.

“I’ll take care of this as the priest has written! It’ll probably be over the day after tomorrow! Thank you, priest!”
Hehe, since I have to report to the church, I believe that you will solve the case on your own.”
“Don’t worry! You’ve conceded the credit, so we’ll do our best to accommodate you! Come visit us at the office in two days! We’ll hand over the documents on the spot!”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
“Loyalty! Thank you to the priest who worked hard to keep the city safe!”

The administration of another world is nothing compared to that of the modern Earth.

The position of quasi-priest in a prestigious church.

And the authority of the saintess’ command. In addition, I quickly formulated my investigation using the legal process of certification by the senior captain of the City Guard. Originally, there has to be something going so that there is something coming. As much as he gave up his achievements of his, he will take care of it well.

After all, the city guards also benefit from just accepting what I have done and accumulating results.

If it was a document certified by the city, it would be very good to attach it to the report to give to the saintess.

I think I did a damn good job.

“Good.”

—-If you have authority, you should use it.

Let’s make it our quote for the day.

Like this, the position of quasi-priest will be of great help to me in the future.
For there is nothing better than the authority of the church to handle things gently.
