chapter 27
27
Could it be that kind of world line?
Harvesters disguise themselves as ordinary believers and form communities with other believers.
And after identifying hobbies, income, lifestyle, and human relationships in various ways, they divide and isolate relationships with clergy and other believers.
The problem is that it is not easy for thoroughly trained evangelists to be discovered.
By the time its identity is revealed, the recruitment of believers will have already been completed.
But Ray has a special eye that others don’t have.
Eyes that see karma.
This eye, which distinguishes between good and bad karma that clings to the human soul, has caught all the evil people mixed in at every opportunity.
Eh? Aren’t all pseudo-evangelists possibly bad people?
Aren’t there some good cults?
Why is a cult a cult?
It is a cult because it does not lead believers to the path of spirituality and the gospel, but rather sweeps away believers and uses them as slaves.
Religions classified as cults have rules that they follow without exception, so all people who fall into cults become unhappy.
The core force that attracts people to such pseudo religions are evangelists.
Of course, he can’t be a proper human being.
“Sir? Please follow me for a moment.”
“Ah, yes… what’s going on…?!”
Ray kept a close eye on people who had accumulated such ‘bad karma’, and when they showed suspicious behavior, he dragged them to the backyard and beat them up.
“Wow, there are more than 20,000 people, so finding and killing them is a job.”
“You really planned to send it. It was very planned..”
Aaron glared at the pseudo-evangelist as if he were shocked.
I’ve only heard of it, but there were really heretics trying to propagate in the cathedral.
“Come on, let’s take him.”
“Tsk.”
Ray and Aaron caught the pseudo-evangelist covered in blood.
The place where they were moved wrapped in swaddling clothes was the medical facility inside the cathedral.
In this day and age, the concept of a hospital is rare, and it is fortunate to have a clinic in your neighborhood.
Therefore, medical facilities were usually handled by religious facilities, and the Church of the Sun was also one of the representative relief centers in Campbell.
“Here’s a customer… no, one more patient!”
“Brother, you can put it down here!”
Henry took the patient and put him down on the seat. Ray and Aaron, who watched this, threw up their hands! Then he turned around.
“I’ll bring you another one!”
The place where the two people left.
A red-haired girl walks towards the distraught preacher.
“What, have they gone already? I really don’t know where they are getting this pinpoint information.”
“I guess that’s how amazing you are!”
Henry seems to be willing to do anything after hearing that Ray summoned the Holy Spirit and exorcised the devil.
Well, that guy has a strange sense of humor that is different from others.
Ray’s strange ability to detect evildoers has no basis, but it is perfectly accurate.
Jenny grinned at her new patient.
“Oh my~ New Hogu… No, you’re a patient? Let’s see. I have the power of healing, so I’ll examine you? Uh~ Approximately 8 weeks for anterior teeth?”
“Aren’t you being too vague, Sister Jenny?”
“Bruises get better if you apply saliva. If you apply saliva.”
“That’s right~ I hit it very skillfully.”
Jenny grinned and, with Henry’s help, tied the preacher’s arms and legs tightly to the bed.
“Well, what are you doing…”
“What is it? You can’t run away before I get treatment.”
Jenny, who had tied the preacher tightly with Henry, took out a note and asked him:
“Your name and home address. Tell me where I have money saved.”
“W-what?”
“Oh, you don’t have to pay a donation… Don’t you know that it’s a rule to pay a donation if you receive treatment at a relief center?”
“······?”
What kind of nonsense are these people talking about?
You want me to bring you in, beat you up, and give you a donation so I can treat you?
There is no blade robber like this!
“Shut up, you dogs of the Church! You worshipers of false prophets…!”
Wow!
Henry’s fist struck the preacher’s face.
“Ugh, ugh! Ugh!”
“Brother Henry, what if you beat up the patient? Beat him in the stomach, not the mouth, so he can talk.”
“Oh, I’m sorry, Jenny. Ethan speaks carelessly.”
Although the people of this world, as Ray believes, are free from medieval prejudices, the threshold for violence is extremely low.
Even more so if the opponent is a heretic or heretic.
“Two teeth have come out. It’s going to be a bit expensive to have new ones grow… Do you have a document or something?”
Jenny smiled brightly and did not hide her shiny greed.
For a moment, I was turned white by that creepy gaze. I see familiar faces in the bunks next to me.
“uuu! uuu!”
“Ew! Ub-bub!”
Familiar faces. They are all fellow members of the church.
***
The Prakchi that Ray filtered out using his spiritual eyes boasted a hit rate of almost 90%.
The remaining 10%?
They are bad guys who have accumulated bad karma separately from cults.
Ray is that innocent? I did not regret killing the evildoers.
‘They’re such b*stards.’
Although it is not to the extent of being said to be heinous, they were criminals who would have had one of their limbs blown off under most of the continent’s laws.
The crimes they were flaunting to prove that they were not pseudo-praks were quite explicit.
“How do you plan to deal with the heretics?”
“What should we do? We’ll have to keep him for a few weeks and then release him.”
If the heretic preachers’ evil karma had been red or even had a dark red spot, Ray would not have spared them.
However, their bad karma is usually scarlet. At high altitude, it is light red. Even if it wasn’t related to the devil, as a human, it didn’t go as far as red, which can be considered a horse species.
I’ll give him a real education by beating him up, but it’s not a crime worth killing.
“Surprising. I thought that if they followed your pattern, they might extort your property and kill you all.
“What do you think of me?”
In response to Ray’s question, Aaron recalled the things Ray had done.
Did they just break the neck of a death row inmate during a rehabilitation test?
He immediately sprinkled holy water on those who called themselves members of the Margrave’s territory.
They tried to burn alive a witch who seemed innocent to everyone…
“Heretic pleasure killer?”
“······Let’s leave out pleasure.”
“Uneducated s*xist.”
“······.”
Ray did not question further. The intrigues of the uncivilized medieval people were going too far.
“Come on, let’s get to work. “I think there were a few more.”
“My fist is starting to hurt.”
“For the savior Soltera! Estella?”
“······Estella.”
The two entered the sanctuary where mass was ending.
Bishop Yuna sings a hymn and the congregation sings along.
Now that it has been systemized even without Ray, there will be no worries about the revival.
‘I’m here to pick up one more guy~’
‘Hehe, look at your work.’
After making eye contact with Bishop Yuna, Ray looked around at the people.
Mostly bluish souls. Although it is sometimes mixed with scarlet or light red, it is not a serious criminal.
‘If you think it’s a bit harsh, you can catch it and kick it out.’
While examining the believers’ karma, Ray found a strange soul.
Light pink turning red.
This is what pseudo-evangelists have in common. the problem is······.
“What the fuck?”
“Use it! “Clergy should not swear.”
Ray couldn’t stop the swear words that came out of his voice.
That’s because hundreds of black dots were visible in the scarlet soul I found.
***
“Hehe!”
The pseudo-evangelist, crushed to a pulp, collapsed on a bed at the aid station.
“Aww, what have you done to make it so tiring for the person who needs to be treated?”
“Sister, just apply saliva and that’s it.”
“Isn’t my spit a reward?”
“???”
Henry is puzzled and Jenny is triumphant.
As the two exchanged words, Ray stared at the man closely.
“Brother Ray? Is it over now?”
“No, there are a few more…”
Ray was feeling confused by the pseudo-evangelist who had dragged him away.
A light pink soul with red aura.
Since he confessed that he was a heretic preacher, it is certain that he is related to the Ilwol Protestant Church.
But what about these black souls dotting the man’s stomach?
“Kids, can men also get pregnant?”
“????”
The three people’s expressions were distorted as if they were saying something strange.
“Did you not receive health education as well as gender equality education?”
Jenny tilts her head and looks puzzled.
“I thought you didn’t learn, but did you grow up in such a poor environment?”
Ray guessed that his guess was wrong as he looked at Aaron, who went beyond feeling pitiful and now showed sympathy.
“Well… I heard there is a worldview in which men get pregnant, so I asked about it.”
It’s not this world line.
I’m glad it’s not that horrible world line.
‘Then, what is this guy?’
Ray saw black dots swarming on the pseudo-evangelist’s stomach.
It’s not like his spiritual eyes suddenly saw something other than his soul.
So, those black dots are all souls…
So Ray assumed that the man might be pregnant.
But this world is not a world where a man can become pregnant.
‘I’ve looked into it, but I can’t seem to figure anything out.’
What should I do? It’s impossible to open the stomach and check.
“Use it! I can’t help it.”
Ray took out several beakers from his arms and showed them.
“Now, teacher? You’ve turned a snowball into a nightgown, but you’ll have to take a good look at this.”
“Ugh, uh······.”
Ray asked, showing the beakers to the pseudo-evangelist.
“Which of the three would you like?”
“Yes? Yes yes?”
“All three of these are holy water? They are similar. But I mixed it with something to prevent it from spoiling. I will drink one of these.”
Seongsu-myeon Seongsu-ji What does something similar to Seongsu mean? Why is it red because it is holy water?
“Well, what did you mix it with?”
“Vinegar. Honey. Hydrochloric acid.”
“······.”
Just something.
I think I heard something that really shouldn’t have happened.
“Oh, if you don’t eat it…”
“Would you like me to choose hydrochloric acid?”
Under Ray’s oppressive gaze, the pseudo-evangelist cried and chose a beaker to eat.
“Huh? Really? Are you really going to choose this?”
“Uh oh… Uh oh…”
“Just kidding. I chose well. As long as it wasn’t hydrochloric acid, it would have been fine.”
Ray said that and opened the lid of the beaker. Before the pseudo-evangelist could say anything, the contents were administered into the man’s mouth.
“Ooh, ooh! Ooh, ooh?”
A sharp fishy taste. But soon the sweet taste spread throughout my mouth.
“I won! It was sweet!”
“Huh, huh…!”
It had a slightly fishy and iron smell, but it was truly sweet. It’s a shame that the amount is so small.
But that didn’t last long.
“town!?”
A pseudo-evangelist who is excited and excited. The man who was hiccuping suddenly started struggling as if he was in pain.
“W-what is it?”
“Why is this happening all of a sudden?!”
“I don’t know either!”
The man was tied to the bed and was shaking.
“What the hell is going on!”
Jenny, who was worse off, cured him with her healing powers, but that actually lit the fuse.
Then, my stomach started bubbling like boiling water in a pot.
Pow!
Something protruded from the man’s stomach and jumped towards Jenny.
“uh?”
The moment it was about to hit Jenny, someone snatched it out of the air.
puck! And they hit it and trample it. It was Aaron.
“be careful.”
“Uh, uhh… thank you, master…”
“Even when you’re like this…”
Not only the two people, but everyone’s eyes turned to the man’s ruptured stomach.
There, a half-melted, hideous-looking organism was screaming in pain.
“crazy······.”
The four of you were silent for a while.
It was a reaction to facing such a shocking scene.
After murmuring for a while, Ray was the first to open his mouth.
“Sister Jenny, try using your healing power.”
“What? But he’s already dead?”
“Not to people, but to monsters.”
“Ah Okay.”
Jenny poured her healing power on something that looked like a melted bug. OK······.
Kkeeeeeeeek!
Monsters screaming and screaming in pain.
The monsters, whose bodies were already melting, let out their last sigh and fell limp.
“Tongue, brother… what is this?”
“I don’t know… but.”
He died from nothing else but the power of healing.
That means it’s either a devil or a monster from the demon world… or a monster.
“It wasn’t something we could solve on our own.”

***
Violet territory in the northern part of the Albion Kingdom.
After the great event that will remain in history, the disappearance of the great evil Capricorn, the church dispatched the elites of the Eclipse Agency.
This is because wizards and witches can find out the truth about the great incident of demon extinction and threaten Ray Anderson.
<Saint of Radiance> Iris and the Heresy Questioners were dispatched to protect the new saint candidate and him who had achieved the feat of annihilating demons.
“S-save me! Please…!”
The man could not speak until the end. This is because the sword stuck in the ground pierced his mouth and physically blocked it.
“Heresy… must be sterilized.”
A cruel hand without any hesitation. A masked heresy inquisitor approached Iris, who had annihilated the wizard and his disciples who had attempted to infiltrate the Count’s castle.
“Iris, a missionary from the Church has arrived.”
On the Inquisitor’s wrist was a huge bird of prey, staring at Iris with sharp eyes.
It is one of the monsters fostered by the church and is a high-class telescope used for urgent communication between parishes in each region.
“hmm.”
Iris read the letter and nodded.
“East. Something strange happened in Campbell.”
“Campbell… is the city of the pagans.”
“A request for assistance from the Diocese of Campbell. And quite urgently.”
Why did it come to Iris in the north?
It was a matter of procedure.
She is the equivalent of the head of the heresy interrogation agency Eclipse.
In accordance with the request for ‘First-Level Heresy Interrogation’, the book will also be delivered to her.
Of course, since she is working in the North, there is no need for Campbell to get involved. This will be up to Archbishop Dunwell or the Holy Knights of surrounding dioceses to decide.
“After all, this is where Ray is.”
Although the requester was Bishop Yuna of the Diocese of Campbell, the name of Ray Anderson was mentioned in the contents.
That caught Iris’s attention.
And one more note.
“Ray? Do you mean Ray Anderson?”
The purple woman responded to Ray’s name.
