Everyone's eyes were on Yuge. Artois, this congressman with an elegant nose and gray temples has already regained his composure, and said with a smile:
"It's nothing to worry about.
"If the attacker has the ability to break through the two layers of defense and deal directly with me, there is no need to assassinate Tibert, this is more like a blackmail, a superficial intimidation."
The four campaign team members present nodded at the same time, believing that there was no problem with Mr. Congressman's speculation.
Yuge. Artois then looked at the red-haired lady:
"Cassandra, I have limited knowledge of the occult world, but I have heard that some extraordinary people can learn the truth from the souls of corpses in a 'psychic way', will Tibert's spirit betray us?"
The red-haired Cassandra shook her head slowly:
"Normally, we need to worry and take the risk of 'cleaning up', but in the attack just now, the assassin obviously spent a lot of time destroying Tibert's spirit to cover up his own information, which is equivalent to helping us."
Yuge. Artois nodded slightly, glanced at each of the two secretaries who were still a little uneasy, and said with a smile:
"Ronne, Margaret, don't worry, time is with us, the future is in our hands, and a little setback will not affect the final result.
"You must always believe that our actions represent justice."
Rhône, who wore gold-rimmed glasses, and Margaret, who was delicate and gentle, looked blank when they heard this, and couldn't believe that they and others could still associate with the word "justice".
Not only them, but also the red-haired Cassandra and the middle-aged and strong Boduis also looked at Hug with suspicious eyes. Artois, I feel like I heard it wrong.
Yuge. Artois looked out the door cautiously, asking if there were any listeners with this gesture.
After the red-haired Cassandra nodded, he made an impromptu speech:
"Ladies and gentlemen, although I am not yet able to convert and ask for gifts due to the covenant, I have learned enough about this world.
"You should know better than me that the starry sky above us represents the vast universe, and there are countless planets in the universe, each planet is equivalent to a world, and many have their own civilizations. The world we live in is just one of countless planets, as small as dust.
"The Seven Gods imprisoned us in this world and did not allow us to touch each civilization in the universe, wanting to blindfold our eyes, plug our ears, and make us their slaves from generation to generation.
"They regard those great beings as evil gods, weaving lies to tell us how dangerous it is to believe in evil gods, with the purpose of keeping us out of contact with higher civilizations.
"If believing in evil gods is really extremely dangerous, why can there be so many civilizations in the universe that belong to different races?
"They are in fear, the great beings have really come to this world, and only they will be destroyed, only the saints, angels and some fanatics who follow them.
"Believing in one of the Seven Gods is faith, but believing in great beings is not?
"We can't be kidnapped by the Seven Gods, we need to explore the future of mankind and the direction of civilization, from the gifts you can get, the great beings are stronger than the Seven Gods, and they will also provide shelter and are willing to give strength, and the grace of God is like the sea.
"When we can sail the universe in the future, look back and look at what has happened over the years, and you will understand that our cause is just.
"In this process, there will inevitably be some deaths, but they all deserve to die, either too old, or in poor health, or too unlucky, or destined, most of the responsibility is not on us.
"Moreover, this is only a few people after all, and it cannot prevent the majority from defecting to a higher civilization and a better future just for the sake of a few people to survive.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there will be sacrifices in any career, as long as we firmly believe that what we do is righteous and keep sticking to it, the future will belong to us!
"In ten years, mankind will get a ticket to the cosmic civilization circle, no longer barbarians huddled in an ignorant corner!"
The red-haired Cassandra, the secretary Ronne and others were stunned when they heard it.
Who is the believer in the evil god?
They believe in different evil gods for different reasons, and deep down they know that what they are doing is wrong, but they have already embarked on this path and have to continue to move forward, so they either use their faith as a fig leaf to change their cognition little by little, or they simply fall completely and find the motivation to drive themselves forward.
And Yuge. Artois is obviously not a believer in any of them, has not received gifts, and has not experienced enough assimilation, but he can say such shocking and infectious words from the heart.
The four campaign team members present all felt that Yuge. Artois made a point, allowing him to re-examine the meaning of his previous actions.
After a few seconds, the red-haired Cassandra exhaled slowly and looked at Hu Ge. Artois praised from the bottom of his heart:
"Excellent speech, Mr. Congressman, I can recommend one to you when you choose faith in the future."
"Huh?" Yuge. Artois asked in a nasal voice.
Cassandra smiled and explained:
"There is a kind of 'speaker' in that gift power."
Yuge. Artois nodded, and smiled at the four members of the team in a relaxed state:
"Don't be frightened by Thibert's death, we will proceed as planned."
Cassandra, Rhone, Marguerite, and Baudowat replied in unison:
"Yes, Mr. Congressman."

Underground Trier.
Lumian took a detour back to the previous quarry hollow, quickly took off his clothes and shoes, and took off his wig and beard.
When he changed into his original homeless outfit and put on a dark blue peaked hat, a semi-illusory crimson fire crow gathered around him.
The fire crows roared out and landed on the surface of canes, shirts, bow ties, wigs and other things, igniting them with a slight explosion.
Lumian had already turned around and walked towards the exit of the underground Trier, and behind him, crimson flames rose, burning all the items related to the previous attack and illuminating the dark underground cavity.
…………
Near midnight, in the "Eternal Sun" Inquisition located in the basement of the Church of San Robles.
Looking at the investigation records, Angoulême. Virtue. François heard a knock on the door.
His brown coat with two rows of gold buttons hung on the coat rack near the door, wearing only a pale gold shirt with the sun emblem and dark brown trousers.
"Please come in." Angoulême spoke calmly.
The one who came in was Valentine with powdered hair and makeup.
After learning that some survivors appeared in the Trier region, he took the initiative to submit an application and was transferred here, and his wife and children had longed for the prosperous Trier for a long time, and they moved here without his persuasion.
He was on duty with several teammates tonight when he happened to encounter the murder of the assistant secretary of a member of Congress.
Valentine, who was wearing a blue tweed jacket and a gold brooch pinned to him, sat down opposite Angoulême and said bluntly:
"Deacon, why don't you investigate Yuge. Artois?
"Although most of the people in the 'Aurora' are crazy, they seem to have an unusual ability to sense evil god believers, and the people they kill cannot be said to believe in evil gods 100%, but at least 70% are.
"Combined with the information we have obtained, we can already determine that Tibert died tonight. Jacques is a believer in evil gods and has the power of 'decay', and he is Huge. Artois's assistant secretary.
"We cannot allow a highly suspected person to continue to serve as a member of Congress, and the investigation is against all the people in the market area, and it is also against George. Artois is responsible, if the investigation turns out that he really has no problem, it will help him clean up the evil god believers around him."
Angoulême didn't expect that the newly transferred squad leader would be more devout and fanatical than himself, and couldn't help but raise his hand and pinch his brows.
He smiled bitterly:
"You probably don't know that every member of Congress has signed a contract with the two major churches and has been notarized by God.
"In the covenant, they pledge their faith, showing their power and corresponding sources, while the two major churches promise that there is no sufficient and strong evidence to restrict the personal liberty of any member of Congress and the principal staff around him, and not to influence them with extraordinary powers.
"This is a protection of congressional power.
"From the perspective of the contract, Yuge. Artois believes in the great 'Eternal Sun', not the extraordinary.
"So, you can ask him and the main staff around him, but only ask."
Valentine couldn't hide his disappointment:
"Why is there such a contract?"
"This is a by-product of the original coup, and it is also a change in line with the trend of the times." Angoulême explained simply.
Valentine exhaled, stood up, and opened his arms:
"Praise the sun!"
"Praise the sun!" Angoulême stood up and returned the salute, watching the subordinate walk out of his office.

Noel District, Holy Palace Hospital.
Jane sat on a very low round bench, lying on the edge of her mother Elloty's bed, sleeping very lightly.
After sending Franka away, she let her brother Julian go home, because he still had to go to the factory at dawn, and the old pigeon cage theater had not yet resumed actor training - the General Police Department was originally scheduled to auction the old pigeon cage and the Golden Rooster Hotel in these two days, but the explosion of the Goodville chemical plant could only be postponed for a while.
Suddenly, Elloty made some movement, and Jane woke up and saw her mother slowly opening her eyes.
After her eyes reflected her daughter's face, Elloty smiled and said:
"I thought I was going to see your father."
Without waiting for Jian Na to respond, she asked weakly:
"How is my injury?"
Jane, who was happy that her mother woke up from the coma, smiled sincerely:
"It's not too serious, you see, there is no need for surgery."
Eloty breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slowly.
She had just gotten out of the coma, and her physical and mental state was not very good, so after a few simple chats, she fell asleep again.
Jian Na held her mother's palm and looked at the face with many wrinkles and some gray hair happily as if she had lost it through the light shining from the window.
After looking at it for a while, she raised her head and found that the sky gradually lit up with a touch of morning light.
