Gospel of Blood

"Um? You said you've already found out where the next Dreaming Salon will be held? Tonight? I remember our Rose Society was already blacklisted from the Dreaming Salon, right? How did you manage to find out?"

Sebastian was somewhat surprised.

The werewolf Luff scratched his head.

"This is a long story, President Sebastian. It all started with a warning we received a few days ago from the Church..."

"A warning from the Church?"

Sebastian was surprised.

"Yes."

Luff nodded.

"It was about three days ago. Someone came to our shop in the western district and warned us that the Inquisition was going to launch a sacred judgment against us, telling us to pack up and hide in advance."

"They concealed their face and voice, so our people couldn't identify them, but judged from the scent on them, that informant was from the Church."

Sebastian frowned.

"Since you received the warning, why didn't you retreat in advance?"

Luff looked ashamed.

"We didn't know the identity of the person, so we weren't sure if it was genuine."

"As you know, we have good relations with some priests in the Church, and they have a close relationship with our Rose Society."

"The Church and the Inquisition don't get along well. If the Rose Society were to be judged, they would definitely notify us in advance..."

"But when our people went to find them, they claimed to have no knowledge of the matter."

Sebastian nodded.

"I know, someone in the Church suppressed the news of this sacred judgment, and apart from the core circle, no one else knew about it. This sacred judgment was originally intended to wipe out our Rose Society in one fell swoop."

"It seems... the person who warned you is from the core circle of the Church."

"It's strange, we shouldn't have our own people in the core circle..."

Sebastian mused to himself.

After speaking, he looked at the werewolf again, somewhat dissatisfied.

"Luff, regardless of whether the intelligence is true or false, we must be vigilant. As for the priests we are friendly within the Church... we can trust them, but we cannot fully trust them!"

Luff felt even more ashamed. He sighed and said.

"You're right. We didn't take it seriously enough this time."

"But you can't blame yourselves. After all, no one would have thought that we would actually be judged by the Inquisition... Those noble families have done much dirtier things than us and yet... They should be the ones facing judgment!"

"I've seen the list of charges, and the person behind this is really ruthless. It seems they've been investigating our Rose Society for a long time."

Sebastian sighed.

Then he asked strangely.

"But what does this have to do with the Dreaming Salon?"

"It starts with the informant."

Luff continued.

"After the informant left, we sent someone to follow him secretly. Although we lost track of him in the abandoned city district, we accidentally stumbled upon several extraordinary kidnapping young girls..."

"And then, you intervened?"

"Yes, after subduing them, we rescued more than a dozen girls from the carriage, all underage teenagers, and we also found Dreaming Salon tokens on those extraordinary."

Sebastian's expression turned cold.

"They work specifically for the Dreaming Salon?"

"Yes, before each Dreaming Salon be held, they would abduct beautiful young girls from the outer city district. After further interrogation, we found out that a new Dreaming Salon was about to begin."

Luff replied.

Sebastian pondered for a moment. "It seems that the informant deliberately led you there."

"They used us to rescue those girls."

Luff nodded.

"That's right. Moreover... if I remember correctly, this isn't the first time. There have been many times before when someone gave us a tip-off before the Dreaming Salon started, using us to save many girls."

"I know about this. Many of our Rose Society members' single problems have been solved in this way. Now it seems... the person who tipped us off before, and the person who tipped us off this time, should be the same."

Sebastian took a sip of wine from his glass, thoughtfully.

"Let's put aside this person's matter for now. Regardless of who they are, at least... they don't have malicious intent towards our Rose Society."

"Let's set aside the matter of Jordan for now. I know that guy, he always disappears for a long time before the Dreaming Salon is held... Even if we wanted to catch him, we couldn't."

"But now that we have intelligence about the Dreaming Salon, there's no need to rush to catch him."

"Luff, give me the Dreaming Salon token. I need to go back to Castell Manor..."

...

Sebastian left the Rose Manor after taking the token from the werewolf.

At the same time, far away in Castell Manor, Charlotte also severed some kind of mysterious connection with the other party.

"So that's how it is. It's not that Sebastian found Jordan, but the mention of the Blood Ancestor indirectly calling the name of the Bloodborne True Ancestor would also trigger my senses, allowing me to see the other party's perspective and hear their voice..."

"In that case, with the Gospel of Blood, does that mean I also occupy the position of the True Ancestor in some sense?"

Charlotte pondered.

The Bloodborne True Ancestor has long since disappeared, and no one knows where they went, whether alive or dead.

Although Charlotte pretended to be a daring Evil God in front of Sebastian before, now that she realizes she may have truly taken on the position of a missing God, she suddenly feels a bit guilty.

She knows her own business. She's just a transmigrator with a cheat, with no connection to the Ancient Gods of the world of Myria.

"I didn't expect that the werewolf's faith would actually be the Bloodborne True Ancestor... No wonder I always felt close to them the first time I saw them, perhaps due to the influence of the Gospel of Blood."

"Wait a minute, if they really pray to the Thorny Rose, would I really receive a response?"

Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.

Although she really looks forward to having followers who provide faith power as a pseudo-evil God who wants to empower the Gospel of Blood, she also feels guilty.

"However, the Thorny Rose was drawn by me casually, representing myself. If it really points to me, does it mean that... the Bloodborne True Ancestor has already fallen?"

"The Gospel of Blood has chosen me, does it mean that it intends to train me into a new Bloodborne True Ancestor?"

"Never mind, I won't think about it. Let's see what these werewolves are going to do. I might not even be able to sense their prayers."

Charlotte shook her head.

The power of the Gods is too mysterious, beyond her current understanding.

However, the matters of the Dreaming Salon and the Blood Demon Cult need to be dealt with as soon as possible.

"The high-ranking members of the Church are involved with the Blood Demon Cult, but there are also mysterious informants... I wonder who it could be."

Charlotte pondered.
