Seeing the strange expressions on everyone's faces, Caroline realized she had misspoken.
She walked up to the monitor and patted one of the staff mbers on the shoulder.
"Don't worry!" she whispered. "As long as you haven't badmouthed him, the Archbishop won't trouble you."
The staff mber gave a wry smile and nodded.
"Didn't you just ntion my strong detection ability..."
The corner of Joran's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself,
"And why did you completely ignore my question!"
Caroline seed to just rember the matter.
"Archbishop Joran, only people from six churches among the candidates have arrived."
She counted on her fingers.
"Sister Beatrice from St. Peter's; she is very pretty, but she always maintains a dignified appearance, probably cares a lot about her image...
Father Vane Downs from Trinity Church; he always faces the wall holding a Bible, his personality might be a bit dull...
Father Charles Shaw from the Freemasonry Church; he has run to the restroom ten tis with Holy Oil already, his arms are all slick and shiny...
St. Peter's Church..."
The staff mbers nearby pricked up their ears one after another.
"Wait a minute..."
Seeing Caroline speaking more and more outrageously, Joran hurriedly pulled her out of the monitoring room.
In another room.
"This is the result of your investigation?"
Joran looked at the stack of docunts on the table.
Caroline nodded: "Didn't you say, Archbishop, that we need to understand these people to judge who can get the selection qualification?"
"A person's thoughts will affect their behavior; these small things in life can't be faked!"
Joran opened his mouth but finally didn't speak.
In so ways, these words did make sense.
So he could only sigh secretly to vent his depression.
As a mber of the Holy See, only a very small number of people could be "rude" to Joran.
Caroline happened to be one of them.
This girl ca from the dici family.
The latter was one of the ancient families passed down from the Holy Land back then, possessing a very high status in the Vatican.
For this trip, the Cardinal of the dici family specifically found Joran and asked him to take Caroline along.
To train her experience in exorcism and interacting with people.
For this reason, Caroline was specially allowed to enter the Holy See Clergy Group.
Now Joran couldn't refuse even if he wanted to.
mbers of the Clergy Group must solve a "Disaster" rated commission once a year.
Caroline's travel was completely in line with regulations.
"Can't these second-generation church kids just stay ho and rot!"
Although complaining inwardly, Joran did not target Caroline; he was just dissatisfied with the long-standing drawbacks of the Church.
Phew.
After breathing a sigh of relief, Joran took the docunts and then asked Caroline to leave.
Speaking of "Disaster" rating, since receiving that kid's handbook, Joran had conducted a detailed investigation into Hans Hermann.
This Bishop indeed had big problems!
Not only did he use money and sex to collude with many high-level church officials, but he also had faint connections with cults.
Joran's eyes were cold; in his heart, he had long sentenced the other party to "Hanging."
But because the other party's position was not low, acting rashly would likely trigger disputes between the two factions.
Therefore, Joran had been waiting for a suitable opportunity.
But these were just small matters.
On this field mission, he had not completed his task yet.
From Arizona to the town of Ambrose, those guys from the "Wings of Vengeance" had always been very cautious, and Joran was a step late every ti.
But he hadn't gained nothing during this period.
Through comparative investigation of several cases and information sent from the Vatican.
Joran was convinced that these guys were making a "Descent Body."
Children's hearts, youths' arms, and various monster remains.
These would all serve as parts of the "Angel."
Currently, it seed that these guys encountered a lot of obstacles in the "Children" part.
After the last disappearance case occurred, protection for children was strengthened everywhere in North Arica.
The public also spontaneously ford patrol teams to investigate near their hos every night.
In addition, when he was at Saint Jehovah Cathedral earlier, Joran found another clue on Sister Sasha.
According to her description, when those brothers attacked her, they ntioned words like "Need Clergy" and "Surgery."
Combined with Sasha's experience, Joran had a guess—certain sacrificial offerings for the "Descent Body" required clergy mbers as materials.
Given the demand of this group of pagans, they would definitely have to kill many clergy mbers to satisfy it.
Coldness appeared in Joran's eyes.
This was a serious provocation to the Church, and he would never allow it to happen.
And this morial Day was a very good opportunity.
Not only did many clergy mbers co to watch, but there were even many children gathered.
For example, Hans brought many disabled children.
That was why Joran personally presided over the venue and mobilized police forces to prevent possible accidents.
Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes.
No parents, physical defects.
Even if such targets went missing, the impact caused would be far less than that of normal children.
For the "Wings of Vengeance," they were simply perfect sacrifices.
"These two parties wouldn't be cooperating secretly, would they?"
Venue Backstage.
"Justin, these two sleeves look so ugly!" Jack shook his body.
Without physical support, the sleeves on both sides fluttered accordingly.
"Hey! Just do it like ."
Justin pointed to his right leg, where the pant leg was tied at the knee.
"Let help you!"
Seeing Jack's anxious face, Justin hopped over to him.
At this ti, soone shouted: "Bishop Hermann is here!"
So the children flocked towards the door.
"Dane, you look so handso today!"
"Adelina, respected lady, please allow to put on your hood for you."
Hans greeted the children with a smile on his face.
"Sister Heidi, thank you for taking care of the children. I am looking forward to your performance very much."
Heidi looked delighted: "Bishop Hermann, it is our honor that you can co."
"Oh, don't say that; the honor is mine."
Hans smiled and shook his head.
"By the way, is Mila here? That friend I ntioned last ti said he is willing to adopt her."
"Really! That's great! I'll go call her right now."
"Oh, no need! After the performance is over, I will tell her this good news myself." Hans waved his hand.
He had already seen the girl sitting in the corner.
"Is Mr. Juan here?"
"I'll take you to him."
Dressing Room.
"Before going on stage later, I will take that girl away," Hans said expressionlessly.
"I can't contact Belial anymore," Juan brought up another matter.
"Maybe he hasn't had enough killing fun yet; isn't that guy always like this?"
"I know you two have conflicts, but he wouldn't disappear for so long."
"You an..."
"Don't worry, I don't suspect you."
Juan narrowed his eyes.
"Maybe regarding the matter of the Warren couple, the Church had noticed long ago; otherwise, those two wouldn't have escaped danger repeatedly."
He turned to look at Hans.
Hans also frowned: "Are you saying... the Church intentionally lured us out?"
Juan said: "This is just a guess; we will know naturally when Belial returns."
"By the way, is there any news about those guys from the Angels?"
Hans laughed sinisterly: "I've figured it out. They actually intend to activate a sacrificial ritual at the venue."
Juan raised an eyebrow: "Those children?"
Hans nodded: "My people found Goat Blood and Marigolds under the stage."
"These are ritual items for 'Blood Curse Arts,' which can make the blood of the sacrificed boil. At the cost of life, it stimulates organ vitality to the extre."
He smacked his lips.
"It seems that the Angels guys are collecting Blood Sacrifices."
Then Hans sighed again:
"The process of sacrifice is extrely painful. What a pity, I can't see the expressions of those children."
"That would be the most wonderful performance."
