Why?

This description...seems a little familiar.

By the way, that was when Fors came back after helping me contact the newspaper. A lady followed me and complained to me, thinking that Fors had belittled her work in front of the editor-in-chief, which led to the publishing house rejecting it. So she expressed strong hatred and disgust, and vowed to repay her a hundredfold.

No way.

Is it really such a coincidence?

"Oh, right. In the fire, almost everything was burned, except for this manuscript, which was not even damaged at all. So I brought it back with me - after all, it was the last thing related to the old publishing house."

Damn it!

This is basically certain.

Therefore, it was that woman who created the world in the book and caused the disappearances.

But isn't she an ordinary person?

uncertain!

It is difficult for others to directly recognize most extraordinary people before they use their abilities.

It is also possible that she was being used by the Psycho Alchemy Society or the Quill.

even...

The missing quill fell into her hands!

So, Fors was the only special missing person because she was retaliating against him?!

"Mr. Editor-in-Chief, do you know the name of the author of this manuscript and where he lives?"

"Oh, her name is Jessica."

...

The world in the book, a snowy town.

Klein naturally didn't remember what the girl said, but the expectation in the more than ten pairs of eyes present proved that what the girl said was true!

This was not his first visit to the church.

But since he chose to leave the church before losing his memory, it means there is no way out!

It was all in vain!

Klein rubbed his forehead, thought for a moment and asked:

"Did I tell you what I was going to do before I left?"

The girl raised her eyebrows slightly, with a strange look on her wheat-colored face: "You said at the time that you wanted to find the source of the resurrection of those monsters and find out who is controlling everything here. \x~x`sc~m￠s/.?c·o¨m?"

"And I didn't come back until now?"

"That's right!"

The girl walked closer and lowered her voice, "I told you at the time that you were wasting your energy. This church is the root of everything. Monsters don't dare to approach. The bells can drive them away. The key is... the woman who claims to be a pastor swore to us that we would be safe as long as we stayed here."

She quickly turned around to glance at the man dressed as a priest under the holy light of the night, "How can she guarantee this? Because she did all this! Don't forget, she was already here before we came to the church."

Sorry, I really forgot.

Klein knew that talking too much would lead to mistakes, so he didn't say anything more. Instead, he looked at the woman and quickly thought about what to do next.

Unexpectedly, Fors suddenly discovered something at this moment. She walked over quickly and looked at Jessica, who was dressed as a priest. "Jessica, you came in too?"

The woman under the holy light of the night finally raised her head, as if she had seen an old friend she hadn't seen for a long time, and smiled slightly:

"Long time no see, Fors."

...

With Jessica's manuscript, Edward easily found her residence.

She lives in a rented house in the East District. Her life is not poor, but not very good either. She seldom interacts with people, but occasionally when she runs into a neighbor, she will greet them with a smile on her face.

Overall, it is consistent with the identity of an author who lives a reclusive life.

But when they arrived at the rental house, they found it in chaos. Apparently someone had come in to search.

"It seems that other people's progress is much faster than mine."

This result was not surprising. If professional organizations such as MI9, Nightwatch, and HOM were slower than him trying his luck here and there, it would prove that his speculation was wrong.

Akasha walked around the house as if she was strolling in a garden, sniffing softly.

"The smell here is very familiar."

She scratched her cheek and looked back. "I should have met the owner of this room when I was helping you find your friend yesterday."

Edward typed three question marks in surprise: "???"

"To be precise, I have smelled her scent."

She tilted her chin up in thought and explained, "I went to the place where you said your friend disappeared."

"Then I searched the area carefully and found a hidden chapel. Inside the chapel was a high-sequence demigod. The reason I remember this smell is because it was a strange smell that only out-of-control people had."

"Out of control? Demigod? Are you saying this Jessica is a demigod?"

"no."

She chuckled:

"That demigod is a famous figure in Backlund's extraordinary world, the Archbishop of the Church of Darkness.

Anthony Stevenson."

Chapter 331 Saint Anthony

Edward was confused.

He would rather believe that there was something wrong with his ears, and he couldn't understand how Saint Anthony would be related to this matter. Wasn't he preaching near Backlund?

But then again, the archbishop spent a little too long on this preaching trip.

Hey, that's not right.

Akasha met Anthony, what does it have to do with Jessica?

She continued, "The strange aura I felt was in that chapel at the time. I was planning to go in and take a look, but I discovered the presence of the archbishop."

"You know, although there is no conflict between us, the Blood Clan, and the Church of Darkness, our relationship is not that good either. After I confirmed that your friend was not in the church, I took the initiative to leave."

Edward still couldn't figure it out. "But why is the Archbishop of the Church of Night related to this matter?"

"Let's go."

Akasha grinned: "Just go and take a look and you'll know. Hahaha, I feel like the show is about to begin. I can't wait."

...

The suburbs are more than ten kilometers away from Backlund.

This used to be a fairly prosperous village called Nofel Village, and in the center of the village stood the Nofel Church of the Church of Night.

Unfortunately, with the promulgation of the early Corn Laws, a large number of wealthy officials hoarded land and drove the farmers off the land, and this place has fallen into ruin ever since. If it weren't for the church, the entire village would have been razed to the ground and turned into farmland.

Saint Anthony sat in the dilapidated church, in the last row near the gate, holding the Bible of the Church of Darkness in his hands, and reading with emotion:

"Eat, this is my meat.

Drink, this is my blood.

Whoever forsakes me, God will despise him,

God will bless those who love me.

..."

Suddenly, he stopped reciting and looked back outside:

"I have been wondering who would be the first to arrive, but I never thought it would be you...Mr. Edward."

Akasha waved her hand and smiled: "Yo, we meet again."

The two walked side by side into the church:

"Your Excellency the Saint, can you tell me what is going on here?"

If he had to use an accurate word to describe the church in front of him, the first word that would come to his mind would definitely be: twisted.

From the floor to the ceiling to the surrounding walls, it was now covered with a sticky liquid like a spider web. Huge wriggling tentacles filled the entire space. These tentacles had different shapes, but without exception, they gave people a strong feeling of pollution from the physical to the psychological.

The source of the tentacles was a huge, indescribable creature with a vaguely human-like upper body, a lizard-like lower body, and covered in scales. It was several meters tall.

The upper body of an indescribable human figure holds a book in its left hand and a feather pen in its right hand. Its head hangs down as if it is about to fall off its neck. It stares straight at the pages of the book and writes a few strokes with the feather pen from time to time.

Novel (book), Quill.

We have them all!

Anthony closed the Bible and said calmly, "When I found her, she had already lost control, but the miraculous thing is that she actually retained most of her rationality and had a strong obsession with what she was doing."

"Do you know what it did?"

He nodded slightly, "She used the seal to build a world in the book, and captured nearly a hundred people to build her story."

"Then why didn't you stop it? Instead, it seemed like..."

Edward frowned, "Protect it?"

"It's not so much about guarding her, it's more about confining her in this church to prevent her from escalating the situation. At most, I borrowed some of my Lord's power to keep this place secret."

"Why?!"

Anthony sighed, "This is why I didn't stop her. She used the lives of nearly a hundred people in the book as a threat. If I make any unusual moves, she will immediately use the seal to destroy the book and let everyone perish with her."

"…"

Edward was stunned; this development was beyond his expectations.

"If you are here to save the people in the book, then you must hurry. Some people don't want the people in the book to come out alive!"
