Chapter 276: Chapter 239: Monster

As Xiao Yi and company were preparing to visit Letticia in prison, they received unexpected news.

Letticia had escaped from jail.

...

When Letticia was arrested, Carl naturally started dealing with it right away.

The gentleman said that if there was anything he could help with, just to mention it, and then he left with Tiya.

Carl had originally planned to have Gladys stay at home, fearing that the sight of Letticia being detained might disquiet her.

However, Carl noticed that the attitude of the villagers towards their family was quite peculiar.

It was not anger or accusation, but... a sort of curiosity-driven prying.

Carl instantly felt uneasy about leaving Gladys at home and reluctantly decided to go with Xiao Yi and Gladys to the location of the Church Court, which was the only church in the town.

Letticia, due to her special circumstances, suspected of being connected to the Evil God, was thus imprisoned here.

Then, upon arriving at the church, they heard the news that Letticia had escaped from jail.

"How is this possible?" Everyone’s faces were filled with disbelief.

Gladys couldn’t help but immediately stand up and refute:

"How can this be possible? Sister Letti isn’t the type to run from responsibility, it must be... it must be you trying to frame her again...!"

Gladys, although afraid of facing others, had gathered her courage this time, barely holding back her tears, and challenged the Church Court officials standing before her.

The Church Court officials gave her a glance but ignored the little girl.

"Tess, come over here."

Carl pulled Gladys behind him, then, with a stern look, he coldly said to the Church Court official:

"That’s right, we do not believe Letticia would escape from jail, your words alone are not proof, we cannot believe it. Therefore, we must see the prison ourselves to believe it."

"Who cares if you believe it or not?" The Church Court official said impatiently: "Don’t forget, in the end, you’re just a trivial doctor, and you should be thankful to God and the Grand Priest for not being implicated and jailed."

"..." Carl subconsciously clenched his fists.

But then he took a deep breath, calmed down slightly, and started to think about how to make this guy agree to let them have a look at the jail.

Just then, Xiao Yi complained discontentedly:

"What’s with that attitude? A service person like you dare to be rude to people, be careful or I’ll report you to your superiors for poor service!"

"Xiao Yi, you..." Carl was about to reluctantly tell Xiao Yi it was pointless, but to his surprise, the unexpected happened.

"Shhh...!" The Church Court official, unexpectedly showed a look of fear, "Tsk! Really troublesome! If it weren’t for Grand Priest’s orders... Fine, go check for yourself to see what’s going on! Really... I am quite busy, and now I have to waste time escorting you to the jail."

Having said that, the Church Court official impatiently walked away.

"I didn’t expect..." Carl exclaimed: "Xiao Yi’s words actually worked!"

"Come on, let’s go." Xiao Yi didn’t care much about the small victory and immediately followed the Church Court official’s pace.

Carl and Gladys immediately followed him.

The group quickly arrived at a dark and damp underground jail.

The Church Court official lit an oil lamp, bringing clarity to the place.

Then, everyone saw it, a huge round hole in the iron jail door.

"As you can see." The Church Court official said: "The jail door turned out like this, that’s how she escaped."

"This..." Carl hurried forward to examine the jail door, "It’s as if it was punched through by a circular object, but... the cut is so smooth, like it’s been sliced by a blade, this is not something she could have done."

Then, Carl turned to the Church Court official and questioned him:

"Such a technique, I have never heard of anyone using before, do you think that a frail young woman would have the ability and means to break out of jail like this? There’s something fishy about this whole affair."

"Nothing fishy at all!" The Church Court official waved his hand impatiently, "What’s there to be puzzled about? She’s a follower of the Evil God! It must be the power of the Evil God!"

"You speak so certainly..." At that moment, Xiao Yi interrogated him: "Could it be... you personally witnessed her using the so-called power of the Evil God? If not, how can you be so sure? Purely based on subjective speculation?"

"This..." The Church Court official’s tone weakened considerably, "Anyway! The fact that the woman fled is a fact! And, after seeing these signs, we the Church Court unanimously believe that the woman is indeed a follower of the Evil God, therefore... we have already sent out a Judge to arrest her."

"What did you say? A Judge!?" Upon hearing these words, Carl’s expression changed instantly.

Seeing this, Gladys asked: "...Dad, what’s wrong?"

"It’s nothing..." Carl, with a grave expression, shook his head, then whispered to Xiao Yi: "Xiao Yi, the so-called Judge is essentially a group created by the Church Court to eliminate dissenters, able to use violence and torture at will, very dangerous! Hele is serious this time!

So, Xiao Yi, I hope you’ll find Letticia quickly, before they do! Otherwise, she’s in danger! Take her to the gentleman’s place for refuge!"

"...I understand."

Since Carl had said as much, Xiao Yi immediately left the place, and as the Church Court official attempted to stop him, Carl quickly engaged him.
