Chapter 68: Fifty-seven Is God’s power limitless?

“Matthews, what’s wrong with you?”

The team leader seemed to sense Ulu’s anomaly and looked up at him.

The “truth” shook Ulu’s body violently, and as he looked at the two Night Crows watching him, the thought “let it all be destroyed here” even flashed through his mind. Eventually, however, he suppressed the thought, slightly shook his head, and said in an extremely hoarse voice, “It’s nothing, just a bit of a cold.”

This completely cracked tone did not raise much suspicion from the team leader, who merely nodded and said, “Then let’s finish up early and head back.”

He then closed the box.

That ugly black worm was thus sealed away and, along with the box, was taken by the Night Crow team leader into his spacious cloak.

...

“Next home.”

The Night Crow team leader said briefly, then took the lead to leave the room, with Ulu and another Night Crow quickly following.

The Priest, seeing this, also subtly nodded his head, gently stroked the boy’s head again, and after explaining some things to the relatives, probably when to bring the boy to the Church to find him, he left with the three Night Crows.

As soon as they left the house, the Priest dropped his previous kindness and solemnity, he glanced back and said lightly, “All in all, it went smoothly. No one wanted the boy, which is a gain.”

“Those chosen by the ‘Holy Worm’ are always fruitful,” said the leader of the Night Crows. “Lord Bishop saw all this long ago… Matthews, are you really okay? You’ve been shaking the whole time.”

Ulu slowly shook his head, indicating he was fine.

“It looks like you really aren’t well,” the leader said. “Let’s hurry on to the next place then.”

So, they quickened their pace, and the Priest couldn’t help but complain, “Rush, rush, rush, rushing me to my death, right?”

At that moment, a thunderclap boomed, and a light rain began to drift from the sky.

Ulu lifted his head, and the raindrops fell on the lens of his mask, blurring his vision.

“Visas, is this the truth you wanted me to see?”

He questioned Bai Wei again in his heart.

But Bai Wei still did not respond, making Ulu feel somewhat dazed, as if that dangerous presence had already vanished from his body, or perhaps it had never appeared at all. It was just an illusion, a delusion that had lured him step by step to this point.

Although he really wanted to think that way, unfortunately, Ulu knew it wasn’t true. Having been around Bai Wei for a while, he had come to understand this perilous entity.

In his view, Bai Wei’s lack of response was not out of unwillingness to respond.

But rather, reluctance to respond.

As if mocking Ulu, “Can’t handle this?”

He always spoke only when the dust had settled, so his current silence was the best answer.

That is to say, the answer to “Is this the truth?” was— “Not yet.”

Yes, not yet.

He still wanted me to continue watching, to keep watching…

Yes, to continue watching.

Ulu reached out, wiped the rain from the lens, and his vision became clear again, even clearer than before because of the water.

He silently followed the Night Crows, while starting to ponder this matter, recalling his past that he was reluctant to remember.

Those worms, it seemed, were placed by Lord Bishop, meaning, it was the Bishop who had killed these people. This included the one who was already gone, as well as the next one, the inn’s owner, Kay.

What was the bishop’s purpose in doing so? Why did he want to kill these people?

At first, Ulu thought it was because of the child. From the priest’s words, one could almost come to the conclusion that unwanted boys would be sent to Rhein, just like him in the past.

But was this the truth? Or rather, was this the whole truth?

If that was the case, then why did Kay also have to die? She had no sons, only a niece from abroad, and Rhein never took girls.

And how many worms were released? The Night Crow Knights of Somo City weren’t just the three of them; their jurisdiction was actually quite small. If it were extended to the entire Somo City, how many people would die due to the worms? Wouldn’t so many people dying from a mysterious illness at the same time arouse suspicion?

Countless questions surged forth, but Ulu still tried to calm himself down.

Since Bai Wei wanted him to see with his own eyes, he would watch for now.

During the following time, Ulu no longer spoke, nor did he exhibit any strange behavior. He silently followed the Night Crow from one house to another, seeing one corpse after another, retrieving one worm after another.

And those previous puzzles were gradually unraveled with more observation.

Every victim they encountered today had a worm inside them, which meant they all died because of the worm.

However, their deaths were different. Some had died from illness, with widely varying symptoms, and others had died in accidents, such as suddenly slipping and falling into the river to drown or being struck by a galloping carriage and trampled to death by the panicked horses.

This seemed to be the ability of that worm.

It could cause these people to die in various ways, without arousing anyone’s suspicion, since as long as the deaths were different, no one would pay too much attention.

In other words, with this kind of worm, Rhein could make anyone they wanted to die.

Ulu’s heart sank to the bottom.

Did his mother also die from this worm twenty years ago?

Watching the leader pack up boxes of worms, Ulu had to suppress the urge to rush over and smash them to pieces.

The operation referred to as “harvesting” by the leader continued for a whole day. It wasn’t until the sun was nearly setting that they left the last household, which also answered Ulu’s prior question about Kay.

This family had no sons, not even a daughter.

The couple had died at the same time and had no offspring, meaning there was no one to inherit their property.

So, Ulu watched as the priest dangled the deed in his hand rather smugly and said, “This is the biggest harvest today.”

Ulu did not speak.

After so many households, the vast majority of questions had been answered.

Just a few more were left.

Just a few more to connect everything together.

Ulu felt restless.

Why did Rhein have to do this? Why did Bishop Corey have to kill these people? Was it only for their sons, just for their property? Was it just for these?

These questions tormented Ulu’s nerves fiercely, making him feel like his brain, which had been thinking all day, was about to burst.

Then, he finally heard Bai Wei’s voice: “Where does the Church’s power come from?”

Bai Wei’s sudden answer made Ulu pause, but he instinctively replied, “The Rhein God.”

“Then…” Bai Wei paused for a moment and then said with a hint of a smile, “Is the power of the Rhein God limitless?”

Ulu’s body stiffened.
