## Chapter 699 – Paladin Kim Kat

To be honest, I was taken aback, and while I can respect sexual preferences, this was extremely suspicious.

Was this just some ordinary orgy?

The situation was that heretics had infiltrated the city. Moreover, these heretics were targets for extermination by the Order, and it was suspected that similar sects with similar doctrines and goals were engaging in this kind of behavior here.

I couldn’t help but be suspicious.

But looking at the situation, it wasn’t necessarily evil, even if it was immoral.

Well… what you’d call an orgy, I do it every night until dawn with my seven women. I end my days in extravagance and promiscuity, receiving all kinds of affectionate services.

The only difference is that I’m a one-man show, and this is a one-woman show.

And well, since I didn’t directly witness any heretical acts, I couldn’t just beat them up. All I saw was an orgy and some nice words.

Beating someone up based on suspicion alone is the way of gangsters, not the way of righteous and proper Fusion Confucianism.

And I heard talk about leaving for a new world, but many people say things like that, and the Brass Celestial Order doesn’t crack down on everything.

Not unless there’s an evil purpose.

Anyway, if something’s suspicious, what do you do?
Ask the person involved directly.

ㅡThump, thump.

I first pushed away the women trying to cling to me and tried to approach the circular table where the frenzied orgy was taking place.

“Ah, ah…! Haa…!”
“Heuh, haa…!”

Even when I pushed them away with my feet and arms, they kept clinging to me.

“This is so disgusting, you bitches!”

My standards have become so extremely high that this is quite unpleasant…!
I can’t even see you as women, you fucking bitches!!

Right now, if I were to rank the women of the kingdom in order of beauty, the top seven would be my wives. But since there’s a limit to beauty, there must be beauties similar to my women in places I don’t know. Anyway, my standards are just too high.

“Hmm?”

Wait a minute.
Why didn’t I think of this?

“Ah…!”
“Ugh…!”

I looked at the women writhing in the throes of the aphrodisiac.

Are these people… just simple prostitutes?

Or are they being brainwashed, exploited, or perhaps being taken advantage of by the narcotic aphrodisiac permeating the room?

“P-Preacher…! Please, please take mine…!”
“Yes! As much as you want! You can use my body as much as you like!”
“Ah…!”

The men and women engaged in the orgy still hadn’t noticed me. Endlessly, when a man got tired, the next one took his place, endlessly thrusting into vaginas and anuses.

It’s quite a strong aphrodisiac.

It’s okay because it’s me. An ordinary person wouldn’t even be able to think straight. Maybe those men over there took a small dose of an antidote because they were particularly enjoying it? It’s just an assumption.

“Please, please…!”
“Augh…!”
“Haa, haa, haa…”

I looked back at the women grabbing my ankles.

They all looked like they had lost their souls.
They were in a state of losing their ability to judge for themselves.

“Hey. Don’t do this. Are you okay?”

ㅡTap, tap.

I immediately grabbed one of the women and gently tapped her cheek as I asked.

“Haa, haa…”

But there was no answer. Her eyes were half-glazed over, and she was just clutching my ankle and masturbating.

“This looks really serious.”

It’s heavily narcotic.

They’ve already lost their cognitive and reasoning abilities.
They can’t even make their own judgments.

I wouldn’t be able to ask them anything in this state… I looked around for a moment.

I saw that many women were already lying still or face down, as if they had lost consciousness. First, I decided to check the women in the far corners one by one to find someone who was at least somewhat conscious.

And I was able to find a woman sobbing in the corner.

“Hic… hic…”

She was a woman with brown hair.

“Hey, can you come to your senses?”
“Hic… hic…”

She was crying and masturbating intensely. I wondered what kind of crazy situation this was, but this place was completely permeated with an aphrodisiac.

It’s no wonder they can’t stand it.

But at least she’s crying.
Compared to the other women who are completely out of their minds… is she at least somewhat normal?

“I’m from the Church. Look at me if you can understand.”
“Hic, hic…! Ch-Church…!”

She looked at me with tears streaming down her face.
She seems to have cognitive ability.

“Can you understand what I’m saying?”
“Hic, hic…! C-Church…!”

She slowly nodded, and I immediately slung her over my shoulder and went outside the room. It seemed like she could talk.

“I’m a paladin here to investigate this incident. This place is suspected to be a heretical banquet hall, and I have a lot of questions to ask you.”
“P-Paladin…!”
“I’m going to interrogate you a bit from now on, and I hope you don’t lie. You might be suspected of heresy.”
“…!”

She closed her mouth and trembled.
I went up to where Hilde was waiting.

“Huh? Kat? Who’s that woman?”
“A witness. She was downstairs.”
“She’s naked?”
“They were having some kind of orgy down there. Those guys we saw during the day.”
“An orgy!!!”

Hilde jumped in surprise. Looking at them, the two managers were still sound asleep. Anyway, I took off the cape I was wearing and wrapped it around the woman’s shoulders.

“I’m going to ask you some questions now, can you answer them?”
“Yes… B-But…!”
“It looks like it’s a bit hard for you.”

She was barely coming to her senses because of the aphrodisiac.

“Hilde. Can you do something about this?”
“Hmm… Just a moment.”

Soon, Hilde brought a water bottle and poured it on the woman’s head, and taking advantage of the gap where her vision was obscured, she performed a simple hypnotic spell.

“She’s in an extremely excited state. Her mind is also unstable… Ufufu, but I’m a succubus. I think I can solve the instability caused by sexual desire. But it doesn’t seem like sexual desire is the only problem.”

Well, I guess so.
Who would do such an orgy in their right mind?

With that, the preparations for the interrogation were complete.

The woman who had been released from the magic raised her head, looking a little more conscious than before. Since it was almost impossible to interrogate with hypnosis, Hilde only erased the effects of the aphrodisiac.

“Is your body… not hot?”
“It’s because I washed my face with holy water.”
“Holy water…?”
“I just said I’m a paladin. I came from the Church.”
“Ah…!”

I lied that it was holy water and repeatedly revealed that I was a paladin while taking out my ID, and she started to shed tears again.

They were tears of relief.

“Then answer as I ask. If you answer properly, you won’t be suspected of heresy.”
“Yes…!”

And so, her testimony began.

“Hic…! A-At first, I didn’t know…! I just thought the preacher was a good person… I asked for help, and then…!”

The woman had absolute faith in the preacher.

“I didn’t even know it was wrong… After I came to my senses, I couldn’t help it… My body, my body just couldn’t calm down… Hic!”

She cried and poured out incoherent words.

“So, the preacher you trusted brought you here after you asked for help and advice?”
“Yes… But not right away. We met separately several times… and listened to his words, and heard about the doctrine… Hic!”

When a target was caught, they made greater trust by contacting them several times.

“And then you came to this basement.”
“Hic! T-That’s right… Hic, hic!”
“So, you were trapped in this basement and continued the orgy? Since when?”
“Th-That…! I don’t know… I don’t remember well… But it hasn’t been long… Hic, I don’t like it anymore. It’s too painful…! I want to go home…! Hic, hic…!”
“…”
“After coming here…! I kept! I kept doing only that and was subjected to that by the men who came…! Hic, hic…! I didn’t do anything wrong…!”

Oh.

“…You testified very well.”

To summarize the testimony as clearly as possible.

The preacher gathered people’s trust with the gathering during the day, and selected and gathered people who were worth money or weak-hearted women.

It would have been very easy to deceive them since they already had trust. He brainwashed them and made them addicted to aphrodisiacs, using the women as hostesses in the orgy hall.

If you’re drugged and told about a new world or to liberate your body, you’re bound to fall for it. He even makes them dependent on this orgy by making them fall into extreme pleasure.

As that is repeated and repeated, the women who were in the basement earlier became like that.

This woman had only been like this for a short time, so she was able to come to her senses and meet me.

“Criminal.”

Terrible and cruel.

“Heretical.”

Neither the Brass Celestial Order nor Fusion Confucianism will just let this pass.

“Above all, people are being kidnapped and disappearing like this, there’s no way there wouldn’t be a problem in the city.”

Most of them don’t have IDs, but no. Is that why they only targeted such women? Still, it was a religion that was in a relatively open place.

If women disappear, words will come out somehow… Ah.

ㅡCity Guard.

“These City Guard bastards?”

Were the City Guard involved?

And the fact that there are so many female hostesses means that the people who need to be entertained are men, which means they have a lot of money and power.

The men who were lusting after the preacher’s flesh downstairs.

“A City Guard executive is involved.”

There’s a City Guard executive among those bastards.

In my opinion, the preacher used his skillful eloquence and trust, his well-managed and ripe appearance, aphrodisiacs, and this underground orgy hall and his sex skills to control the wealthiest and most powerful people in the city.

He pretends to show trust and character while brainwashing them, and uses drugs to make them slaves.

The men seemed to almost worship the preacher.
ㅡThey’ll bring a lot of money.

Gathering a lot of money wouldn’t be a problem at all. In the process, these victims were created.

Perhaps the preacher slightly changed the existing doctrine or policy.

The underground orgy hall is operated secretly as a membership system, and while they are drugged, he preaches the doctrine and repeatedly brainwashes them with sex.

He corrupts innocent women.
He also corrupts the City Guard who should be protecting the city.

In the process, he takes the money they bring.

This is what heretics do.

“Hilde. I’ve finished summarizing the situation.”
“Yes, yes. She didn’t lie.”
“Very good.”

Hilde had the good sense to cast a hypnotic spell again as soon as the interrogation was over to find out if she had lied or not. You can’t interrogate with hypnotic magic, but you can find out if what you just said is a lie or not.

“I’ll go back down, so take good care of the woman and the managers here.”
“I’ll just put them all to sleep.”
“Do it without making it obvious. Anyway, thanks for your hard work. It’ll be over soon.”
“Ufufu, then I’ll wait quietly.”

I immediately went down to the orgy hall.

It was still frenzied and overheated.

“Haa… Haa… Here, me…!”
“Haa, haa…”

The drugged women, having lost their reason as before, staggered and crawled, trying to grab my legs. I pushed them away as expected and headed towards the circular table.

“We will be able to go to a… higher world!”
“I believe…! I believe!!”
“Preacher…! Preacher…!”

The preacher shouted like fire even while receiving the desires of the men through two holes.

“If I go there… I will become a slave to the believers and serve them forever…! Ugh!”
“Preacher!!”
“Preacher!!!”

He must have brainwashed them quite a bit.

Middle-aged men with ugly bodies are lusting after the preacher’s young female body while shedding tears. Their eyes are already half-turned.

Do those guys go back normally in the morning after the orgy is over?

Do they repeat that every week?

ㅡSreung.

I immediately drew Vugal, the holy sword that saves people and cuts off corruption. If my guess is correct, the men here are all people who can be called the pillars of this city.

There might be nobles here.
But are they stronger than the Saintess?

ㅡThud.

The guys didn’t recognize me even at the moment I put my foot on the circular table. And so, when I poured my inner strength into it and used the Heavenly Demon Overlord Steps.

“Heavenly Demon Overlord Steps.”

ㅡKwaang!!!

The circular table shattered into pieces, scattering fragments.

“Huh, uh…!!”
“What!!”
“What’s going on!!”

Only then did they come to their senses and look at me, their flesh torn by the fragments that had flown out.
