Chapter 68: Stress Release
Chapter 68: Stress Release
"Immunity from contamination."
In fact, back after experiencing the ghoul incident, Han Dong had been suspicious of this unusual passive skill.
At that time, Han Dong was able to see the tiny tentacles that surfaced on the ghoul's surface.
Such soft writhing whiskers were so similar to the tentacles that Han Dong could grow on his hands.
However.
Such an evil creature was afraid of holy water.
Han Dong was not good enough to run directly to the local church to ask for holy water, what if he reacted to the sacred statue in the church? Coupled with time constraints, Han Dong hadn't taken the time to verify this.
Thus, the matter of checking whether or not his body reacted to the holy water had been delayed until now.
He drank mouthful of holy water.
Not only did it not have any unpleasant or painful reactions, it instead left himself refreshed and refreshed without any discomfort at all.
This also allowed the stone that was pressing down on Han Dong's heart to be lowered.
--------------------------
The Holy City's security management was actually divided into several layers.
The Police Station is only the most superficial and crude layer, and its role is mainly to settle some civil disputes, when something really dangerous happens, it must be resolved by the knights.
The second layer, on the other hand, is the Church and the hidden knight's intelligence bases that are set up in each area.
They provide assistance to the trainee knights on duty in the area, have professional personnel to review local events, and occasionally have knights stationed within the church.
The church on the streets of London is the largest local church, Paul's Cathedral.
Currently, the full Cass squad arrives here.
A priest performs a purification ceremony to remove the contamination on behalf of two trainee Knights who have been contaminated.
The holy light descended vertically through the top glass of the church and onto the two Han Dong and Coslin's body.
A warm feeling spread out in their bodies.
Han Dong even felt that if he was truly injured, his injuries would surely be fully recovered within a short period of time when he was bathed in this holy light.
And it also argued an important point.
Han Dong was not the least bit repulsive to these divine attributes, and was just as affectionate with other humans.
The filthy liquid applied around Han Dong's eyes evaporated and disappeared on its own under the holy light, it looked as if the pollution had truly been removed.
The ceremony wasn't over yet.
After bathing in the holy light, the priest handed each of them a whip and pointed to the private room at the back of the church.
"Go release the stress."
"Stress Release"
Fortunately, Han Dong had taken the time to check out some basic knowledge during this week's study, in addition to plague science, there was the means of follow-up 'treatment' after being contaminated.
Regardless of the level of contamination suffered.
After removing the pollution through divine means, pressure release must be performed.
In the early days of the establishment of the Holy City, when humans discovered that Holy Light spells could dispel pollution, they didn't realize this, and didn't consider how much of a spiritual burden it was for people who had suffered visual pollution.
Some of the apparently healed knights continued on their journey to battle the higher beings.
Back and forth many times they were healed by the holy light.
However, the mental pressure in the head was never fully released.
This directly led to the [Holy City Gothic] incident that took place in the 80th year, causing panic throughout the city.
In just one day, a total of 38 trainee knights and 12 knights all hanged themselves in front of their homes, followed by nearly 100 more knights committing suicide in the following three days.
The power of the Holy City was reduced so much that even the council elders couldn't sit still and temporarily issued the "Knight Surveillance Draft Decree", which required all trainee knights and knights in the Holy City to monitor each other, and those who prevented the suicides would receive high rewards.
At the same time, the investigation of the reason for suicides was accelerated.
Autopsies as well as hypnotic questioning of knights with suicidal thoughts was conducted.
During their autopsies, it was found that the suicidal knights all had severe nail scrapes on their bodies, and some had even bitten off their own tongues. The unimaginable self-mutilation was all their own doing.
It was then that people realized the problem of "pressure".
Even if the pollution is removed by the light, the horrible images that reverberate in one's mind (sleeping, meditating, seeing similar individuals, etc.) can cause "stress" to the individual.
This is different from ordinary stress in life and can be designated as a new type of psychological disease, which is extremely lethal.
A knight who has fought against a higher being or a subordinate creature must be cured by the light of the holy light and release enough stress.
Self-flagellation is the most effective and primitive method.
Later on, humans also discovered that there was a connection between stress release and their own habits.
Some alcoholics can relieve stress by having a hangover.
Some gluttons can decompress with a good meal.
Some schoolboys can even decompress with a test.
Of course, some guys who like to fight can be relieved of their stress with a good, hearty battle.
The easiest and most effective way to do so was to self-flagellate in the church's confessional area.
There was only one wall separating Han Dong from Coslin's confessional area.
The sound of heavy flogging reached Han Dong's ears, showing that Coslin was not at all rude to himself, estimating that each flogging could tear off the top of his skin along with it.
However, it was necessary, Coslin's contamination this time was not light.
As for Han Dong, he would just use the whip to violently smack the ground and pretend to let off some steam.
About half an hour.
Coslin walked out, busy being healed by Sophia's Holy Light.
As for Han Dong, he wore the Raven costume, saying that he had already consumed the restorative medicine, so there was no problem.
-------------------
Underneath the church was a secret knight intelligence stronghold on the streets of London.
Here there are staff members directly affiliated with the [National Royal Knights Academy], providing free services to trainee knights.
The spiritual expeditions that the staff of the intelligence stronghold receive on a weekly basis, and working directly under the church, there is no need to worry about them appearing to be controlled.
The sack containing the old woman has been handed over to the professionals here.
A detailed physical examination report sheet will be generated at that time and given to the congregation.
Inside the box.
After hearing about the horrific incident at the old woman's house, Cass' appearance became heavy.
"With preparation, a mere glance at the diary was heavily contaminated.
The old lady's building is still two blocks away from where it happened. It seems that the old woman's mutation must have originated from her son who died suddenly.
It's really good that you were able to respond in time to capture your target alive."
"All thanks to friend Andeva." Coslin praised Han Dong again.
"We'll discuss the details when the old lady's report comes out, Actually, we've also found something here, and it's even worse."
"There's a problem with the Police department's files?" Coslin asked curiously.
"No, I suspect that there is something wrong with the entire Police Department, but there is no definitive proof yet."
The words came as a shock to both Coslin and Han Dong.
"What's going on?"
"The Baker family's mansion has its own backyard and covers an area of more than 800 square meters, plus the fact that there was such a serious murder.
There is no way that the Police's department would have sent just one person to investigate, at least 30% of their staff to the scene, if not more.
I suspect that the Police Department has been secretly controlled."
