Apocalypse: I Can See the Health Bar, Kill Monsters and Drop Treasures Chapter 421

Chapter 421 Church Hierarchy

"Don't!"

Wang Tao just put his hand on the mask of one of the deputy mayors, and the deputy mayor subconsciously spoke out.

Wang Tao stopped what he was doing. He looked at the deputy mayor with interest, wanting to see what he had to say.

The deputy mayor was thinking crazily in his mind. He has been caught now. No matter who catches him, there is a high probability that he will be finished.

But if he does not reveal his true identity, then there is still a chance, but if the identity of the deputy mayor is exposed, then his last chance is gone!

“You let me go, I'll give you money, I'll give you a lot of money!”

The deputy mayor spoke quickly.

Hearing this, Wang Tao immediately looked at him as if he were a fool.

Even if you are a deputy mayor, but you are only a first-level superpower, how much money can you have? Still want to bribe a fourth-level awakener?

To put it bluntly, even if he is corrupt, he may not make money as fast as Wang Tao.

The deputy mayor obviously couldn't see Wang Tao's strength. After all, he was too weak. But Councilor Zhu Fen and the other two third-level superpowers could see it - not necessarily because they were not sure about Wang Tao's true identity. Although Wang Tao can defeat the third-level superpowers like a crushing force, he is obviously a fourth-level awakened person.

So Zhu Fen made a "whimpering" sound and burst into tears.

“I said it too!”

“I know it too!”

Her mouth was stuffed with a thick wooden stick by Jiang Shixue, making her unable to speak.

Wang Tao's tone was very satisfied.

Although they couldn't see through Wang Tao's mask, they could still feel the playful look in his eyes.

But just when Wang Tao's hand had touched the mask of one of them, Wang Tao suddenly stopped on his own initiative.

They are the masterminds. If this matter is revealed, even if Wang Tao is willing to let them go, he will never let them go. Even if he lets them go, they will still be caught later!

So Wang Tao ignored Zhu Fen's words and took off their masks.

"I said!"

Wang Tao was suddenly a little surprised. Looking at their subconscious expressions, Wang Tao probably had a guess - Yao Guodong was killed by the two deputy mayors, and Zhu Fen might not have known about it at first, or he might have known about it but didn't have time to stop it. Otherwise they wouldn't have this expression.

If she was in charge of this matter, she would definitely not be able to do it like this, at least not in such a hurry. Although there seemed to be no loopholes in the scene of Yao Guodong's death, his death was so strange that everyone was not stupid and must have suspected homicide. So we will definitely investigate in the future.

The two deputy mayors shrank their necks, and they suddenly regretted it.

Although Zhu Fen is a committee member, he is very capable. But at this time, she was also panicking and didn't know what to do.

But the two deputy mayors cursed in their hearts.

She now wants to kill these two idiots with her own hands. If it weren't for them, the Twilight Church would not have been exposed, and she would not have ended up in this situation.

But this is not important. What is important is to find the murderer and find the Twilight Church.

After Wang Tao finished speaking, several people looked at each other, not knowing what to say, mainly because they were not sure what Wang Tao was thinking.

Zhu Fen coughed violently, and all he coughed up was blood droplets. But she couldn't care so much anymore, so she could only say with some difficulty:

While Zhu Fen was thinking, Wang Tao continued:

"Believe it or not, if I find out how Yao Guodong died, my goal will be achieved. Theoretically, I can go back to deliver the work. But I didn't expect to catch a big fish, so...it depends on your performance."

"Wise choice."

Hearing this, the deputy mayor and others obviously didn't believe it. They are already fish on the sticky board. Will Wang Tao let them go?

Zhu Fen's eyes flickered, she thought it was possible! After all, Wang Tao was entrusted to come here, not because Wang Tao wanted to come by himself! I just don't know what Wang Tao likes. The fourth-level awakened person is obviously not short of money, or the club is not short of small money...

Although she was not involved in the assassination of Yao Guodong, the two deputy mayors reported to her afterwards, so she knew the detailed process.

Zhu Fen was afraid that someone could find out about the Twilight Church. Although she also thought it was unlikely, what if it happened? As a result, this "what if" really came!

But the man in front of him said that he was entrusted to investigate. Since it was an entrustment, the client must have paid the price. In other words, he is here for profit! So if I can afford a heart-warming interest, can I let him change his client?

Zhu Fen also promised a lot of benefits, but unlike the deputy mayor, she is not a deacon, but a priest, so the credibility of this statement may be higher?

Wang Tao wanted to see if they could say something that interested him. These bribes were obviously not what Wang Tao was interested in.

"But before I find out your identity, I am curious about how you killed Yao Guodong...So, I will give you a chance to tell me how you killed Yao Guodong. Maybe I will let you go when I am in a good mood."

"I was commissioned by others to investigate the cause of Yao Guodong's death..."

Zhu Fen spoke immediately.

“Let us go?”

“Ahem, if you let us go, I can give you a large amount of holy medicine, crystal coins, and crystal nuclei...”

Zhu Fen suddenly felt that she still had a glimmer of hope!

At this time, Wang Tao spoke again:

Since she is not the murderer, even if she is really punished, it will not be her turn. So there was no pressure on her to say it.

Wang Tao continued.

As soon as these words came out, Wang Tao could clearly see that Zhu Fen and others glanced at the two deputy mayors subconsciously, and they could see the anger in their eyes.

The anger in Zhu Fen's eyes became even stronger. She hated these two deputy mayors to death.

Wang Tao saw this and asked Jiang Shixue to pull out the stick.

But Zhu Fen decided to believe Wang Tao - she had to believe it. If she believed it, she might still have a chance. If she didn't believe it, if her mask was taken off and her appearance was completely exposed to everyone, then she would really be doomed!

"I didn't expect the Church of Dusk to be like this. It's very interesting...but I'm curious, who are you?"

As Wang Tao guessed, Yao Guodong's death was caused by the two deputy mayors, and she was not aware of it at the time.

“Ahem—”

“However, during the investigation, I accidentally discovered the Church of Dusk. This made me very interested..."

The third-level bodyguard and the third-level official also spoke quickly.

Who wouldn't want to live if he could live?

The two deputy mayors felt even more uncomfortable now. Everyone dared to say it, but they did not dare to say it!

But Wang Tao knew that the two of them might be the murderers. What the murderer said in person must be somewhat different from the bystanders. So Wang Tao said again:

"Since you all know, then you come one by one! If I find that you are inconsistent...I'm sorry, you may not have a chance to be judged." Wang Tao glanced at a few people, and the aura of his fourth-level awakened person bloomed for the first time. , several people suddenly felt chills running down their spines.

“Let's start with you two.”

Wang Tao pointed to one of the deputy mayors.

The two deputy mayors were confused. They didn't say they knew. Why did they start from themselves? But looking at Wang Tao's eyes, they had no doubt that Wang Tao might really kill them! After all, for the awakened ones, their strength at this level is no different from that of ants...

There is nothing you can do about it. If you say it, you may die later, but if you don't say it, you may die now!

So, these two people could only explain honestly.

In order to prevent them from colluding in their confessions, Wang Tao deliberately brought them all into the room to ensure that they could not hear what others said. In this case, in order to prevent themselves from speaking differently from others, they could only tell the truth.

So, these people honestly told the story of Yao Guodong's assassination, including that the two deputy mayors were the initiators. However, these people were also thieves. When Wang Tao did not take off their masks, they did not directly tell Wang Tao that the two deacons were the deputy mayors. They were still thinking about what would happen. If Wang Tao really let them go, even if the deputy mayor was wanted later, it would be better than being arrested now.

Wang Tao nodded immediately after listening to what they said. This matter is similar to what he speculated...

The reason why these two deputy mayors killed Yao Guodong was because Yao Guodong became a superpower!

Yao Guodong has strong personal abilities, but he is old and was about to retire. Yao Guodong has retired, and they are the ones competing for deputy mayor. The two deputy mayors are both members of the Twilight Church, and they know each other's identities, so if the two of them join forces, they will definitely be raped by the other deputy mayor, so the mayor's position belongs to them.

But they didn't expect that Yao Guodong would become a superpower. Then this is troublesome. Because his health will get better after becoming a superpower, Yao Guodong can retire later. And if Yao Guodong doesn't retire, they will never have a chance to rise to the top. So they chose to take action, and while Yao Guodong was not strong yet, they quickly killed Yao Guodong!

So, they contacted another deacon, the third-level deacon who gave Qiu Rong and Xia Zhen the holy medicine.

The deacon was willing to help after they paid some price. However, he was not directly involved. He was trying to get Qiu Rong to give Yao Guodong the holy medicine and then lure Yao Guodong out. What will happen to Yao Guodong after he leaves is none of his business.

So, the two deputy mayors found a killer - yes, there is a profession of killer in Changhe Base, but this profession can only be found in the black market and is very secretive.

They found a killer who was said to be not very strong but very capable of assassination. After they paid some crystal coins, the killer took over the task and succeeded.

What happened next is what Wang Tao saw at the scene...

“In other words, you don't know who this killer is?”

Wang Tao frowned.

"have no idea…"

Zhu Fen shook his head quickly.

She was the last one to be asked. She didn't dare to tell any lies. She really didn't know.

Wang Tao was a little speechless. Although he could catch the mastermind behind the scenes, it was a bit of a pity to catch the murderer who did it. But...it doesn't matter. The rest is left to the police station and city hall to investigate. Anyway, he has done them a big favor by catching the two deputy mayors personally.

"Okay, assuming you barely pass, I have one last question. If you answer it to my satisfaction, I will let you go."

Wang Tao said with a smile.

“...Do you keep your word?”

Zhu Fen's face didn't look good.

"You have no choice, you can only believe me. And I said, I was just entrusted by others. Now that the entrustment has been completed, I can leave at any time. I have no grudge against you, I am just curious..."

Wang Tao said in a slow and fast manner.

“Then ask!”

Zhu Fen gritted her teeth. She didn't want to die. She had to seize the opportunity.

“Very good, tell me about this holy medicine and everything about your dim church.”

"you-"

Zhu Fen could probably predict what Wang Tao wanted to ask, but after hearing it, he still didn't want to answer.

"You only have one chance. Anyway, if you don't say anything, others will. If I find that you are of no use, the consequences... you think about it yourself."

Zhu Fen struggled for a long time and finally decided to say it. No matter what, your own life is the most important.

“Twilight Church…”

In several other rooms, Jiang Shixue and others were also asking questions.

Wang Tao's mental power can detect the past, so he can also see the content of their questions. Several people can ask questions at the same time, which can save a lot of time. At most, it makes Wang Tao's head feel a little swollen. After all, this has been used for many times...

After spending some time, Zhu Fen and the others talked about everything related to the Holy Medicine and the Twilight Church.

Wang Tao finally has some understanding of the Twilight Church.

This Twilight Church has a strict internal hierarchy, and there are currently four levels in total.

The lowest level are "ordinary believers", such as Qiu Rong and Xia Zhen. They have not yet truly joined the church, so they do not count as a level.

As long as they develop three believers, they can officially join the church and become "devout believers".

Pious believers are the lowest level in the church. If they perform well, they can be promoted to "deacons". It's the deputy mayor and the others.

Beyond the deacons is the "priest". According to Zhu Fen, she is currently the only priest in the entire Changhe base.

But she wasn't very sure, because their Twilight Church had rules and they were not allowed to inquire about other people's identities.

Under normal circumstances, only your superiors will know your identity. For example, the deputy mayor and the others are all Zhu Fen's superiors. Zhu Fen knows their true identity, but they do not know Zhu Fen's identity.

So if there are really other priests, Zhu Fen may not know about it, unless it is the person above the priest, that is, the highest-ranking person-the bishop.

She was very sure that there was no bishop in Changhe Base, because when she contacted the bishop, she always went out to contact him. But she didn't know if there were other priests...

“Bishop, priest, deacon, believer…”

Wang Tao feels that this church is very big!

And even committee member Zhu Fen is just a priest...then who is this bishop?
