This alone is enough to determine that the old clergyman committed a serious dereliction of duty.

When a priest performs divine magic, it requires the participation and response of faith.

Although there are no major restrictions, there is a rule against its abuse.

The fact that the other party is using divine magic so frequently clearly means that they are either profiting from it or researching something.

After all, divine magic is often needed to react during the research process.

Judging from the information released by his divine magic in other places, he also seemed to be acting strangely outside of Qiquan City.

He has been practicing his magic in a certain suburb for a long time, and Nemus has already sent people to investigate.

There was a 'manor' in that suburb, which was obviously used to produce whale products.

Naims did some research and found that some of them produce whale wax.

Of course, the main product is whale blood diamond.

Whale wax is a byproduct of the process of boiling blood.

From this perspective, suspicion surrounding the old clergyman began to rise sharply.

The other party's attitude was too firm, making them seem too guilty.

"But, is it really that simple?" Nemus wasn't entirely convinced.

The other party is too stupid.

They were able to secretly research the Holy Son Project and abduct test subjects without being discovered for over a decade.

If it weren't for the recent series of setbacks in the Holy Son Project, coupled with the sudden appearance of that flesh-and-blood monster, probably no one would have discovered the mastermind behind it all.

Such a mastermind would be foolish enough not to conceal the information on the grid and fall into path dependence, resisting recklessly when the tide is pressing down on them.

Not too possible.

Chapter 322 Things Are Getting Interesting

Nems squinted, waiting for the outcome.

Sure enough, the other party's connections soon proved to be less useful than expected.

Originally, according to the other party's plan, many people should have written to Guilliman or directly complained about Naim's irregular behavior at his request.

This matter will escalate further, and the pressure will increase until Nemes either gives in under pressure or Guilliman takes the initiative to stop it.

After this incident, Nemus's power will be limited, and they will gradually take over the reins of the investigation team.

Young people are clearly not up to the task; it's more appropriate for them to take charge of this matter.

On the other hand, by teaching Nems a lesson, the young people can grow, and they can also offer rewards afterward as 'seniors'.

This is clearly another form of their path dependence: using what they have to prevent young people from getting things done.

Then they encourage young people to gravitate towards them, thus bringing newcomers into their systems.

Only in this way can those who possess a large and extensive network become even more important, especially when the other party places great emphasis on connections.

However, this time, when he met with Guilliman, before he could even say anything bad about Nemes, his activity patterns and behavioral analysis were already laid out on the table.

His whale product manufacturing plantation in the suburbs has also been raided, and the relevant evidence is now in front of him.

At this moment, the old clergyman's legs went weak, and he finally regained consciousness.

He hurriedly pleaded for mercy, saying that he had been doing this for over a hundred years, and then brought up the golden seed who had once been his teacher.

Killieman simply looked at the other person, his face expressionless.

“I spoke with Prologis, and he said thank you for your previous help, but your matter still needs to be handled according to the rules,” Killieman said casually.

Furthermore, he emphasized the accent when he said "according to the rules".

At this moment, the old clergyman couldn't help but recall some things from the past.

That golden seed born in the last century once worked under him when he was just an ordinary priest.

He doesn't remember what it was about at the time, but it was probably something very small. He felt that the other person was not respecting him.

So he followed the old method and taught the other party the rules.

Make the other party strictly follow certain church rules when traveling back and forth in Qiquan City.

For example, the first time, you might ask him to go to an organization to get some data, and then tell him that the data is incomplete and he needs to make another trip.

After the other person ran back, they found another excuse and made the other person keep running.

The main purpose is nominally to train young people and familiarize them with the process.

It's really about getting the other person to submit to you.

This kind of thing happens far too often.

And this way, the other party won't be able to cause you trouble afterwards, because some complicated rules do exist, and if they just say they followed the rules, no one can find fault with them.

After the other party bowed his head, he indeed did not make things difficult for him anymore.

He didn't even consider it a big deal.

After all, he had been through the same ordeal when he first became a full-fledged employee.

This kind of behavior of tormenting subordinates and forcing them to bow their heads and understand the rules has become the norm.

However, as Prologis grew stronger and his status rose, so did Prologis.

After Pross was promoted to a Gold Seed, he thought about this incident. At that time, although he was a little worried, he felt that everyone in the church did the same thing, and the other party was already a Gold Seed, so it was not worth targeting him for such a small matter.

Furthermore, in their daily work, he also took care of her, and the two could even joke around.

Therefore, he gradually came to regard the fact that he had mentored a golden talent as a kind of capital and a kind of network of connections.

However, it was only at this moment that he realized that the other party had never forgotten that matter.

Pros only realized after his promotion that it was somewhat beneath the dignity of a Golden Seed to cause trouble for someone over a 'trivial matter'.

So the fact that he didn't take direct action doesn't mean that Prologis has truly forgotten the other party's targeting back then.

At this point, the phrase "follow the rules" became a clear indication that he had brought this upon himself.

At that moment, the old clergyman suddenly realized that he had become the one who stood out.

After he was dealt with seriously, no one would oppose the church because of his treatment; on the contrary, they would cooperate even more with Nemus to resolve the matter.

His obsession with experimental subjects, coupled with the complacency that had grown from a long period of comfortable life, made him completely ignore the dangers involved.

Having realized this, the old clergyman immediately chose to confess everything.

They distanced themselves from the flesh-and-blood monsters.

His problems lay in privately breeding whale products and helping other noble members adjust their bloodlines.

He was able to enter the Holy Son Project back then because he had some technical skills.

Some nobles would bring their newborns to him so that he could use bloodline magic to adjust the newborns.

This behavior is undoubtedly against the rules, and once discovered, his life will be in turmoil.

That's why he was so resistant to Nemes investigating personal files.

But it's no use saying anything now.

After the old clergyman was dealt with, Nemus's subsequent actions went much more smoothly.

"When was this? Can you explain it to me?" Nemes quickly collected all the personal files, and then asked the person in charge of each file to come over for a targeted explanation.

Of course, Nems did not fully expose their gray income and privacy.

Based on the locations where the flesh-and-blood monster appeared, and some problematic records, I made specific inquiries.

Combined with Nemus's ability to perceive emotions, it is possible to roughly determine whether a person has a problem, and whether the problem is related to that flesh monster.

Once most of the people have been investigated and their results are available, a general range can be narrowed down to identify who might be the problem.

However, after examining the area, Nemes found that he could not narrow it down.

Most of the researchers at the time had no connection to that flesh-and-blood monster.

While the possibility that the information was hidden sufficiently cannot be ruled out, Nemes still leans towards the correctness of this result.

In other words, the investigation has once again reached a stalemate.

Now we can only wait for the flesh monster to reappear and be captured before we can find the mastermind behind it.

Nemes looked at the various files, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

Perhaps the people involved behind this matter are even more powerful and influential than we imagine.

In this context, the investigation into the fictitious agreement has actually made some progress.

They captured a demon.

This demon is said to have information about Nemes.

Nemes asked Downs and confirmed that no demons had escaped from the park recently.

"Things are getting interesting."

Chapter 323 Framing

Nemes quickly arrived at Agnelli's side.

However, they discovered the demon they had captured.

"It's him?" Nemus seemed somewhat surprised, because this demon was one of the demons that the demon warlock had summoned.

The demon warlock 'Ben' summoned a total of four official demons.

The Shadow Fiend with whom he has the deepest connection.

The alien demon world of Aro.

Eight-armed snake demon.

And that standard demon who uses scarlet-type spells.

Shadow Fiend was severely injured and is probably still hiding in some corner recovering from his injuries, or perhaps he was swallowed whole.

The information transmitted from the Aro Realm by the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon, which was killed by Nemus, has become food for the Aro Realm.

Therefore, the standard demon that was sent back to the abyss with little damage became one of the few demons that was able to continue operating.

Judging from his visit to Azure Whale, it's normal that he left himself a backup plan to ensure he could be summoned again.

Now, this standard demon is being embraced by Moritorus.

At this moment, Moritulus had already put on a full suit of airtight armor again. His broad arms embraced the standard demon, rendering the demon powerless to resist. The demon's whole body was limp, and it didn't even have the strength to commit suicide.

From this perspective, Moritulus also possesses the ability to subdue demons.

"Speak, the Holy Son has arrived." That's right, after being captured, the standard demon took the initiative to ask to see the Holy Son. Only when the Holy Son was present would he reveal everything about the fictional demon Nemus.

"Fine, I admit defeat this time."

“Holy Son, if you can kill me after hearing the news and let me return to the Abyss, I will tell you everything and make sure it contains the information you want.”

“Okay, I agree. Do we need to sign a contract?” Nemus agreed.

"No need, I still trust the Holy Son's credibility."

"In the abyss, the number of demons summoned in this material plane has exceeded the limit during this period."

"A large number of lesser demons were summoned, and terrifying stories about the demon park began to circulate throughout the abyss."

"So some important figures calculated the summoning information and discovered the person and location that summoned those lesser demons." As the Standard Demon said this, Nemus keenly sensed something was off.

"The enemy's location is in Qiquan City!" Standard Demon said decisively.

Naim squinted at the answer.

“Alright, let’s get started,” Standard Demon said. Nemus nodded and turned to leave.

"Wait... Holy Son, what are you doing? Why don't you sever my body and send me back to the abyss?!" The standard demon panicked as he watched Nemus leave.

"Send him to the prison and seal him away, waiting for the Golden Seed priest to have time to completely purify him," Nemus calmly ordered.
