Chapter 264: Chapter 233 Evil God_2

"...It’s Xiao Yi," Carl replied, "I’m not quite clear on what exactly happened, either. Actually, I’ve just arrived a short while ago myself. However... from what others have said, it seems that a terrifying murder case has occurred within the Glor family."

"...What did you say?" Xiao Yi couldn’t help but frown.

They were just about to meet with the Glor family, and now someone within had died. Was this really a coincidence?

Just as Xiao Yi wanted to ask more, a mad shout drew his attention.

"It must be the work of the Evil God!"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd screamed out loud: "That damned Glor family! It must be because they angered the Evil God! That’s why a natural disaster came upon us, making us all suffer! And now they’ve finally been punished by the Evil God! They’re all dead! Ha ha! Good riddance! They got what they deserved!"

Hearing the person’s shriek, the fear on everyone else’s faces grew by several degrees.

"The Evil God?" Xiao Yi was puzzled, "What Evil God?"

"That... well, actually, something happened within the Glor family before the tsunami struck."

Carl, standing beside Xiao Yi, slowly explained:

"Some time ago, on what was once an endless ocean, people suddenly spotted an island that would appear and disappear. It was also then that a large number of rotten dead fish began to surface, severely impacting the fishing industry’s yield. And as the Glor family was heavily involved in the fishing industry, they were naturally affected by this. At that time, people said that the island was an ominous sign, and they believed that the strange phenomenon was due to the island, especially since its appearance was such a coincidence. But, at the same time, because of this, people were also afraid to approach it.

Nevertheless, the problem had to be resolved. So, the eldest son of the Glor family led a group of people to the island to investigate, hoping to find the reason for the fish deaths. But soon after, the boat they had taken returned, the people who went were all gone, except for the eldest son.

The eldest son himself was in a state of insanity, constantly muttering incomprehensible words about everything being alive, that the Evil God was there. Moreover, in his hands, he was holding a piece of red stone that looked like flesh.

Strangely, upon examination, it was found that the stone was at least five billion years old... meaning, it existed before this world came into being! Whether it’s true or not is unknown.

Soon after, the eldest son passed away, and on the day of his death, a tsunami struck the sea, leading to massive casualties. Hence, people believed that the island and the Evil God mentioned by the eldest son were related, and that it was because they had angered the Evil God that the disaster occurred."

"...I see," Xiao Yi nodded slightly, "Blaming the natural disaster on the Evil God, huh? Makes sense, that’s also unavoidable."

"Oh?" Carl asked, "So it seems you don’t think the tsunami was caused by the Evil God?"

Xiao Yi replied:

"Of course not. The occurrence of natural disasters doesn’t abide by human sentiment; it’s unpredictable, an unknown fear that one doesn’t know when will come. However, the actions of an Evil God would align with human sentiments, acting with pleasure or rage, and thus can be predicted.

That’s why people attribute natural disasters to the Evil God, seeking psychological solace. Associating natural disasters with those strange occurrences is also unavoidable."

Xiao Yi could understand people’s thoughts, but that didn’t mean he believed in the existence of the Evil God.

"Indeed," Carl nodded thoughtfully and asked, "So then, Xiao Yi, do you also believe the murder case in the Glor family has nothing to do with the Evil God?"

"Of course," Xiao Yi asserted with a nod, "There are no gods in this world, just unscientific fantasies. The actual situation might be that someone had a conflict of interest with the family and took the opportunity to act."

"I see, an interesting perspective. Unfortunately, this time... it is undoubtedly the work of the Evil God!"

"...Eh?" Xiao Yi was taken aback because the voice that responded to him was not Carl’s.

Xiao Yi immediately turned around, only then realizing that a strange man had appeared behind him!

This man had a stern look on his face, and just making eye contact with him made Xiao Yi feel a sense of oppression.

"...Hele," seeing the man, Carl’s expression also changed, "What are you doing here?"

"Hello, Doctor Carl," said the man named Hele, speaking slowly, "I merely saw the venerable Doctor Carl here and planned to come over to say hello. However, I didn’t expect to stumble upon a surprise..."

Hele turned his gaze to Xiao Yi and asked,

"I am named Hele, currently holding the position of Grand Priest. May I inquire about your name?"

"He’s a friend of mine," Carl stepped forward, placing himself in front of Xiao Yi, "and furthermore, instead of wasting time with us, shouldn’t you have more important matters to attend to, Grand Priest...?"

As soon as Carl had spoken, the surrounding crowd also noticed Hele’s presence and immediately let out sounds of joyful surprise.

"Grand Priest!"

"Grand Priest, please save us!"

"..." Hele fell silent for a moment and then shrugged his shoulders, "Very well, I shall go fulfill my duties first. However, if you’re curious about what has happened in the Glor family’s mansion, you might as well follow and see for yourselves."

With that, Hele began to walk forward, and the others quickly made way for him.

"..." Xiao Yi and Carl also followed behind. After all, their original intention was to visit the Glor family, and they certainly wanted to know what had happened.

Later, Hele arrived in front of everyone, and faced with their expectant gazes, he declared,

"Believers, all members of the Glor family, including the servants totaling eighteen people, have been confirmed dead."

"...!" Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock.

Hele continued, "The death conditions of these people were all extraordinarily horrific, abnormal, and undoubtedly not the work of any human, without question! It is the doing of the detestable Evil God!"

At his words, the crowd let out wails of sorrow.

"God..."

"But, do not worry," Hele added, "We are blessed by God and allowed to live on this land, so there is no need to fear an Evil God. Everyone just needs to remember that your work is bestowed by God, and thus must be adhered to your duties; refusal is not an option. Profession holds no status high or low, be it Judge or janitor, all should work with full devotion! And sins of laziness and such must be avoided at all costs; they are worldly, evil, temptations from the Evil God! We must practice self-restriction. We must eliminate all forms of entertainment, lest we fall into degeneracy. You must hold steadfast and cherish your work, and never neglect the arrangement of God! Only then will God’s blessings and radiant protection be upon us!"

"Ah..."

Their faces once again filled with joy, the crowd broke into loud prayers and dispersed.

They pressed down the unease and fear in their hearts, dedicating themselves to their work.

The words of Hele provided comfort to the people, but... they filled Xiao Yi with revulsion.

"What is this guy... babbling on about?"

Thus, Xiao Yi immediately stepped forward and challenged Hele,

"What on earth are you blabbering about? By what right do you claim that the killing inside is the work of some Evil God? How childish can you get? Still believing in a God that deceives children at your age. And who do you think you are? Let professionals handle professional matters. You’re not even the police; what makes you qualified to solve this case?"

Hearing Xiao Yi’s words, those dressed as police officers near him were taken aback.

Who was this man? How dare he speak so wildly to the Grand Priest! Was he truly not afraid for his life?
