“Spacing out again?”
Tia looked at Truth through the crack in the door. The latter looked calm.
“Yeah, I was thinking about the Inspector.”
“The Inspector? You are the Saintess. In this world, apart from that… er, the Lady Goddess of Life, no one can judge you. There is no need to worry.”
Since this was the Goddess of Life’s Cathedral, Tia decided to show a little respect to the Goddess of Life.
It would be troublesome if She were eavesdropping. It was better to save the badmouthing for the Mist.
“However, there is one guy you should watch out for!” Tia suddenly became serious.
“Did you know? That Assistant Inspector named Eve actually deliberately sent me away today and then tried to make a move on you. I only realized it afterward. Just thinking about it now is terrifying! What if she had succeeded? Fortunately, Senior Omili appeared in time to stop her, otherwise your purity would be gone!”
“It’s not that serious…”
“It is that serious! And since you don’t understand men and women’s affairs at all, from now on, I will strictly control anyone who attempts to get close to you to avoid any unexpected situations. Just like now, stay in your room properly. I’m going to continue searching for the guy who snuck into the Cathedral earlier. They say he is an old man.”
After Tia finished speaking, she closed the door and went to search the second floor, leaving a speechless Truth behind.
‘What do you mean I “don’t understand men and women’s affairs at all”?’
‘Please, just reading out the names of the actresses I’ve seen would be enough to pad out this entire chapter. The size of the study materials in my hard drive started at petabytes. It was unknown how many times bigger than this trashy game called “Legend of the Illusory Domain”!’
‘However, it is good that Tia can take care of me like this. It saves a lot of trouble. But could she not generalize so much? Actually, we could appropriately filter who gets a pass!’
‘For example, anyone with a C-cup or below is strictly forbidden from approaching me, while D-cups and above are free to do so.’
‘Then there is Eve, who suddenly ran into the wardrobe.’
Truth sighed softly.
‘How should I face her next? If I just kill her, the subsequent explanation and investigation will be particularly troublesome. The Church will definitely find out that she came to my bedroom tonight.’
“Sigh, troublesome.”
Since the matter had already been exposed, there was no need to hide it anymore.
Truth stood up and began to tidy up the reports scattered on the floor.
As the reports were picked up one by one, the wooden floor soaked in blood was revealed once again.
Because Eve appeared too quickly, Truth couldn’t clean up the bloodstains in time.
She could only hurriedly suck Dickinson’s blood dry, turning him into a desiccated corpse, and then hide him in the wardrobe.
The residual bloodstains on the floor were barely covered by the reports.
‘I have to say, this guy’s blood was really hard to drink. I almost threw up. As expected, young sisters’ blood tastes better…’
Meanwhile, inside the wardrobe, Eve’s emotions had been rising continuously from start to finish.
This made her heart beat frantically, almost causing her to die of sudden cardiac arrest right there in the closet.
At first, apart from panic, Eve felt a trace of little… excitement.
For some reason, hiding in the wardrobe and peeping at the conversation between Truth and Tia through the crack gave her an inexplicable sense of immorality.
Coupled with the fact that Truth didn’t expose her, this made her even more excited.
It was just like a blonde guy coming to steal the heroine in the middle of the night and almost getting caught, but the heroine stumbled around to help cover for the blonde guy.
Thinking of this scene, Eve’s sense of immorality instantly reached its peak.
Moreover, unlike others, the object Eve came to steal was the Ninth Saintess, who was under one person and above ten thousand!
“Haa… haa…” Eve’s face inside the wardrobe became increasingly flushed.
Her legs squirmed, and her body couldn’t help but tremble slightly because just imagining these scenes in her brain, she was about to…
Thud.
At this moment, accompanied by the slight trembling of her body, Eve felt her toe seem to touch something in the dim wardrobe.
That thing was very hard and very cold.
‘The cute Saintess’s wardrobe doesn’t have cute clothes, but some strange, odd thing?’
Driven by curiosity, Eve carefully bent down in the darkness and used her right hand to carefully grip and stroke the shape of this mysterious object up and down.
‘Hmm, cylindrical, about the thickness of an arm, and quite smooth… Wait, could this be?!’
Because her brain was currently full of “yellow waste”—filthy thoughts—and the light was too dim to see the details of the mysterious object, Eve naturally thought in that direction:
‘In the room of a girl who looks very pure and cute in many people’s eyes, there is a thick and hard cylindrical object hidden…’
Eve, whose mind was currently piled high with dirty thoughts, suddenly thought of some very contrasting plotlines.
‘I didn’t expect the Lord Ninth Saintess to have this kind of little hobby on ordinary days!’
‘No, no, no, no… I dare not touch it anymore. If I touch it again, I guess I’ll touch the… head? Let’s just hold it like this for now. Speaking of which, isn’t this a bit too thick and big! Her body is so small, can she handle it?’
‘Right, if I wait a moment and directly ask her “What is this” while holding her little toy with a serious face, what kind of expression will she have? Hehehehe…’
‘No, no! In that case, I would be acting too pretentious. Who doesn’t know about these things nowadays? And now even the Saintess…’
‘Right! Or maybe I can try questioning the pure Lord Saintess on the spot about why she has this kind of thing in her room?’
‘Little Truth will definitely be ashamed with nowhere to hide, hehe!’
Creeaaak—
Soon, Truth, having tidied up the reports, opened the right half of the wardrobe with boredom and saw Eve’s face, which looked like a pervert’s.
The latter hurriedly wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth and pretended to be calm.
“Truth, I seem to have found a strange thing in the wardrobe.”
“Uh-huh.”
Truth didn’t say much, her tone feeling a bit impatient.
‘If you saw it, you saw it. What’s this about “found a strange thing”? What, as an Enforcer, have you never seen a desiccated corpse?’
‘Oho, your little secret was discovered and now you’re giving me attitude?’
The corners of Eve’s mouth raised slightly as she continued:
“Don’t you intend to explain?”
“I did it. So what?”
Truth spread her hands, displaying the blackish-red bloodstains by the table behind her.
Without the cover of the report documents, Eve finally discovered the source of that faint smell of blood.
Then her eyes widened.
‘No, such a large pool of blood? I thought Lord Saintess was on her period, but it turns out it was… caused by playing too hard?!’
‘Doesn’t that hurt? Is it not uncomfortable? Letting something so thick and big enter the body, and even spraying so much blood in the room?! Could it be…’
Eve looked straight into Truth’s eyes and said incredulously:
“So you are this kind of person!”
‘I didn’t expect the Ninth Saintess to actually be a masochist!’
“So what if I am? What, do you have an objection? Believe it or not, I will repeat what happened just now on you!”
Truth said fiercely. Her current plan was simple: threaten and intimidate this Eve!
If she was willing to be obedient, that would be fine.
If she wasn’t obedient, then Truth would have to direct and act out a play where the Ninth Saintess was suddenly taken away by a Blood Demon at night, and the Apprentice Inspector Eve heroically sacrificed herself to protect the Saintess, turning into a desiccated corpse.
‘Speaking of which, this Eve is quite bold. She actually wasn’t scared by the corpse.’
So Truth opened the left half of the wardrobe and found that Eve had actually been holding Dickinson’s left forearm while talking to her.
‘Heh, keeping the evidence of my murder firmly in your hand, is it?’
‘As expected of an Apprentice Inspector.’
Since the blood in Dickinson’s body had been sucked dry, the forearm Eve was holding was just skin and bones…
“What?! Repeat it on me…” Eve was shocked.
‘It’s one thing for this Ninth Saintess to be ruthless to herself, but why is she so ruthless to others?! Shoving this thing in my hand into my body and making blood spray everywhere… isn’t that too terrifying?!’
“Aren’t you a little too cruel!” Eve commented, pointing Dickinson’s arm at Truth.
“I’m truly sorry I’m not the simple and kind little Saintess in your heart. Now hurry up and get the hell out of there for me… Hmm? Why are you frozen? I don’t know the immobilization spell, do I?”
Halfway through her sentence, Truth suddenly realized that Eve was stiff and motionless on the spot.
Her originally rosy cheeks instantly turned pale, and the dirty thoughts in her brain were swept away.
Because Eve finally realized something was wrong.
‘Why… am I holding a withered arm?’
Inside the wardrobe, Eve’s mind was full of this question. Carrying this question, she stiffly turned her head to look to the right.
Under the illumination of the light, she finally saw clearly what exactly she had been shut in with just now.
In the corner of the wardrobe, two segments of Dickinson’s desiccated corpse were lying there quietly.
The third segment had fallen by Eve’s feet, and Eve was still tightly gripping this detached arm…
