Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!-Chapter 2191: The Saintess Is Dead

(Wait for a moment) This sentence was thrown into the crowd like a bomb, causing the believers who had just calmed down to explode instantly, "Who killed the Saintess?"

"Who would dare to kill the Saintess!"

"Kill him to avenge the Saintess!"

The believers, who just a moment ago seemed filled with mercy, suddenly were overflowing with murderous intent, naturally casting their eyes toward the Outer Zone players in the square, looking at them with hate.

"No, are you out of your minds?" The Long-haired Player joined ten or so players to confront the Divine Temple head-on. Among them stood a short-haired woman, speaking with annoyance: "What does the death of your Saintess have to do with us? Some of us just arrived in this zone today, okay?"

"Moreover, with the Saintess being killed, you should first investigate your own people, right? The Saintess always lived in the Divine Temple. It’s difficult enough for us outsiders to even step inside the door!"

Even though the words, slightly sarcastic yet reasonable, did not restore the believers’ sanity because they only believed one truth:

"Besides outsiders, no one in our country would harm the Saintess, nor could they!"

The Saintess resided in the Divine Temple, protected by the Divine Envoy and players, under the Goddess’s blessing. Their status was second only to the Divine Envoy, and there was absolutely no way anyone could kill them!

"That’s hard to say; maybe it was one of your players or even the Divine Envoy?" The short-haired woman said with irritation, "You all unconditionally follow the Goddess, but the Divine Envoy not necessarily."

"Even more so, maybe the Goddess herself laid her hands; Saintess? Sounds nice, but aren’t they just a group reared to bear offspring for you with dual-gender characteristics? What status do they have, and what’s strange about getting killed? If it were me, suicide might even be possible..."

These words challenged the beliefs of the Goddess Church, visibly angering the people present. Seeing that no useful information came out and that things might get out of hand, Xu Huo used his characteristics and timely spoke up: "Can I say a few words?"

The characteristics only affected a small portion of people, and not very well, for those believers closest to him not only ignored what he had to say but grew even angrier as if he might get punched the next second for a wrong word.

"I witnessed the Saintess performing a ceremony in Purple Lake City." Xu Huo slowed his pace, speaking gently, "Though I watched from the middle of it, I still felt the call of faith."

"For someone as mundane as me, it’s difficult to entrust both body and mind to faith, and I hardly believe someone so pure truly exists in this world, but the Goddess Church changed my perspective."

"A friend in this district told me the selection of the Saintess is extremely strict, with very few eligible throughout the entire country. After being chosen, they spend most of their time living inside the Divine Temple, serving only the Goddess. As the ones closest to the Goddess, any harm to them should be considered an offence against the Goddess, let alone being killed."

"Furthermore, they are not only the ephemeral Goddess but also bear the future of this country. Whether it’s out of longing for the Goddess Church or personal admiration, I really want to know the name of this Saintess."

He spoke, gazing at the Divine Envoy, "I hail from the Outer Zone and will leave here; many of the Outer Zone players present are the same, I’ll take this name out to the Outer Zone."

"I wonder if the Divine Envoy is willing to tell?"

The Divine Envoy maintained the same posture without even glancing at Xu Huo. Faced with such sincere and moving words, he first expressed appreciation and then declined diplomatically, explaining that because the case of the Saintess’s murder was still unresolved, her information couldn’t be disclosed to prevent the suspect from learning more, and also not to make this Saintess become others’ talk of the town.

Xu Huo expressed understanding and added: "The Saintess lived long in the Divine Temple; I believe both the Divine Envoy and the players responsible for protecting the temple must feel tremendous guilt for not being able to save a life in time. Please, take solace. If needed, we Outer Zone players can also lend a hand. Should it be an action taken by us, self-investigation would be more convenient than a one-sided inquiry from you."

The Divine Envoy still declined and didn’t disclose any characteristics of the suspect. Finally, he reassured the believers present not to vent their grief over the Saintess’s death onto innocent people. After all, among so many Outer Zone players, not all could be the perpetrators.

The believers also calmed down but still looked at the Outer Zone players with distrust.

"Apologies, the Divine Temple will remain closed for two days; players who completed the checkpoint can visit other cities first and return once they receive recognition from the Divine Envoys in other cities."

After saying this, the Divine Envoy returned to the temple, closing its doors again.

This somewhat explained the situation to the Outer Zone players. Charging into the temple for the Long-haired Player and others now was impossible. To avoid going against the entire zone, they had no choice but to leave first.

"What’s with the meddling, speaking so grandly, as if he greatly devoutly believed in the Goddess Church, and in the end, couldn’t even stamp a seal." someone spoke neither too loud nor too soft. However, the moment she finished, the other players around warned her with their eyes. Regardless of Xu Huo’s motives, he just helped everyone out of the mess. Do they really want to end up in a brawl with a bunch of ordinary people?
