After watching The Girl Who Kills Heaven with her friends in the church, Tina took out her phone and found that she had several missed calls.
Her expression changed, and she quickly ran to the side to dial the missed call: "Hello, Professor Anne Rand, I'm sorry, I didn't answer your call."
Holding her phone, and looking at the graying hair in her other hand, Professor Ayn Rand suppressed her anger and asked, "Tina, what are you doing right now?"
"Uh, I infiltrated the Scorpion Cult."
I just had my initiation ceremony the day before yesterday, and I was baptized by Aqua and joined the religion.
"Hmm, did you find anything useful?"
Upon hearing this, Ayn Rand's anger subsided somewhat, and she pressed for more details.
"Yes, the Scorpion Cult is recruiting a large number of cursed children to become its followers."
Tina answered.
"What's the purpose?"
Professor Ayn Rand continued to ask.
"The specific purpose is unclear, but the Scorpion Cult seems to be conducting an experiment to make the Cursed Child happy."
Tina peeked into the hall. The show "Heavenly Punishment Girl" had finished playing, but a group of girls who were still somewhat unsatisfied were earnestly reporting the situation to Professor Anne Rand on the other end of the phone.
"Could the experiment that made the Cursed Child happy be related to the Perfect Gastrea transformation?"
"I don't know about that, Professor. I'm just an ordinary believer right now, and I'm not involved in the core of the Scorpion Cult."
"Alright, Tina, you continue your undercover work, preferably infiltrating the upper echelons of that cult and uncovering its core secrets!"
"Understood, Professor. I will stay hidden for a while."
Professor Ann Rand had no doubts. After hanging up the phone, Tina breathed a sigh of relief and brushed it off again.
But Tina was a little worried about what to say when the professor contacted her again.
"Maybe I should just tell the truth."
The girl muttered something to herself.
"Confess to what?"
Broly's head popped out from around the corner, looking at her curiously and asking.
"Oh, it's nothing."
Tina was frightened, and her eyes reddened at that moment.
"Really nothing?"
Broly sensed that his friend was acting strangely, as if he had something on his mind.
"It's nothing."
Tina thoroughly enjoys her current life, but she worries that if she tells the truth, this ordinary and mundane life might be taken away from her.
"By the way, Dr. Muroto seems to have developed a new Enterovirus inhibitor. Would you like to come with me to her medical research institute to take a look?"
Thanks to the girls who were perfectly gastrulated, Sumire Muroto made some groundbreaking progress in the study of gastritis by studying their physical condition.
"One injection is equivalent to three injections before. If the previous injections only inhibited the Gastrea virus from continuing to invade the cursed child's body, then the current injection can effectively restore the cells that have been invaded by Gastrea virus to their original state, thereby reducing the Gastrea virus invasion rate..."
After Broly brought Tina over, Sumire Muroto launched into a long explanation of her newly developed product to the two of them.
"Do you know what this means?"
Sumire Muroto asked, somewhat excitedly.
"What does this mean?"
Broly, playing the role of a proper straight man, asked the question.
"This means that gastritis is no longer a completely incurable disease!"
"Uh, joining the Scorpio Cult and worshipping the Little Scorpio constellation, doesn't that mean you can get healing?"
"I'm talking about scientific methods that we can master and popularize, without relying on theological means."
However, I must admit that it was thanks to Lady Aqua's divine magic, which provided crucial research material at the microscopic level, that I was able to reverse-engineer the method to restore the cells eroded by Gastrea.
Of course, I also have to thank Lady Eris; without her blessing, I certainly wouldn't have been able to achieve such research results so smoothly.
Because of her faith, Sumire Muroto was unable to become a priestess of the Scorpion Cult, but she successfully replicated part of the purification spell's effects using her biotechnology and the lucky blessing bestowed upon her by Eris.
"So, Ms. Sumire Muroto, anyone infected with Gastrovizon can have the virus cleared from their body simply by receiving your injection?"
Tina asked a question.
"Yes, that's right, but it has to be before the gastroentervirus completely modifies the genes in the body, that is, within two hours after infection with the gastroentervirus."
The longer the process drags on, the slimmer the hope of clearing the gastroenteritis from the body becomes.
Conversely, if the injection is administered within two hours, the gastroenteritis-infected individual's immune system will eliminate the gastroenteritis itself through the stimulation of my specially formulated drug.
When used in conjunction with the gastritis virus injection that I previously researched, which has a 30% chance of turning a person directly into a gastrulator, this becomes the medical technology version of a treatment or healing potion.
However, it can only heal injuries; it cannot achieve perfect Gastrea transformation, and it differs from healing spells cast by divine magic.
That being said, Sumire Muroto believed that she would definitely be able to develop a perfect evolution potion in the future.
"Take these syringes to the church in the outer city. Although there are more convenient purification spells available there, sometimes you still need some potions and syringes to help, don't you?"
"Why do I get the feeling that you just want to use the Scorpio Cult to conduct large-scale human drug trials?"
Broly looked at the female doctor with some suspicion.
"I can guarantee that these injections, even if they don't provide any benefits, will definitely not cause any harm."
As Sumire Muroto said this, she took a vial of the newly developed injection, put it into a needleless syringe, and gave herself an injection.
Her idea of collecting data on the effects of large-scale use of the new injection is genuine, but the safety of using the newly developed injection can also be guaranteed.
"Can I try these injections too?"
Tina asked at that moment.
"Of course."
Sumire Muroto nodded in response.
Tina didn't stand on ceremony. She took the syringe from the female doctor and gave herself an injection.
"I don't feel anything."
"It's normal for people with low levels of enterovirus erosion in their bodies to not feel anything after an injection. Only those with high levels of enterovirus erosion will experience noticeable physical sensations after an injection, similar to having a high fever."
The female doctor offered an explanation.
[I think I have what I need for the next report.]
Tina looked at the empty syringe and thought to herself.
It has been decided to divide this discovery into three stages: [hearing rumors about the Scorpion Cult's miraculous injection], [obtaining an empty syringe of the Scorpion Cult's miraculous injection], and [obtaining the actual miraculous injection], and then report it to Professor Ayn Rand.
[Thinking back, after I finish reporting all this, half a year will have passed.]
In order to protect her current peaceful and tranquil life, Tina mastered the art of slacking off at work without any formal training.
Unfortunately, plans can't keep up with changes.
. . . .
Fourteen days after the Scorpion Cult was officially established.
That noon, the former blind girl, now a junior priestess of the Scorpio Cult, was distributing free nutritious lunches to other girls who were also children of the curse outside the church in the outer city.
With a loud bang, a sudden and terrifying explosion occurred next to the semi-open church kitchen, where supply boxes were piled up.
The power was terrifying; the semi-open kitchen was completely destroyed.
Even the newly built Scorpio Church next door has nearly half of its walls collapsed.
When Broly and the others arrived, they were met with a scene of utter chaos.
"What happened here? Did the gas cylinder explode?"
Rentaro Satomi asked the question.
"It wasn't a gas cylinder explosion, it was a terrorist attack."
Elder Matsuzaki answered the question.
"Among the donated supplies delivered today, there were several high-powered bombs mixed in."
I don't know if it was timed or remotely controlled, but it suddenly exploded when lunch was being distributed at noon.
At the time, I was quite far away and only suffered minor injuries, but those who were closer...
The old man didn't say anything more; the scene already spoke volumes.
The few cooks selected from among the believers who were employed for the mass catering suffered the worst fate because they were closest to the explosion point; their bodies were blasted away and turned into fragments.
Besides the cooks, the people distributing the food also suffered terribly, their backs mangled with blood and gore. Then there were the cursed children receiving the food.
The line consisted of ten columns, with nearly two to three hundred people. The attack resulted in 76 deaths, 134 serious injuries, and the rest minor injuries.
"How could this happen?"
"Around the supply crate containing the bomb, there were some doll crates filled with shredded chromium metal. When the bomb exploded, it propelled the shredded chromium metal inside the dolls, creating an effect similar to a fragmentation grenade."
Like Gastrea, the shards of chromium can also block the regenerative abilities of cursed children.
This targeted approach undoubtedly indicates that this was a premeditated terrorist attack specifically aimed at the Cursed Child.
Tendo Kisara, who arrived earlier, had already completed her on-site investigation and informed Aqua and the others of what she had found.
"Who, who on earth could do such an inhuman thing?"
The sight of corpses scattered on the ground made Rentaro Satomi clench his fists.
"This still needs to be investigated, but the Scorpio Cult has not kept detailed records of the true identities of the material donors."
The latest novel is first published here!
Finding out the identity of the killer who delivered the bomb as a donation to the church in the outer city will probably be very difficult, provided the killer is careful enough to clean up any traces...
"Are you blaming me for having a loophole in the donation system of the Scorpion Cult I founded? But how could I possibly know that someone would use that for a terrorist attack?"
"Lady Aqua, I don't mean to blame you. I just hope you can persuade Broly to calm down..."
Kisara Tendo glanced at the Saiyan boy whose expression had turned somewhat cold since arriving, a little afraid that the boy might do something rash.
"I am very calm."
Broly replied that the explosion did not cause any casualties among the targets Crystal Palace had acknowledged.
Enju Aihara went to school, while Natsume Senju, being more intelligent, was sent to discuss with the principal of Gouda Elementary School the matter of opening a branch school in the outer city.
Tina said she wanted to send some things to her family, but the others weren't here either.
However, the fact that the target was unharmed does not mean that the Saiyan boy is in a good mood. If that bastard who planted the bomb were here, Broly would not mind twisting that person's head off. But the problem is, no one knows who did it.
There was another reason why Broly remained so calm: his trust in his goddess-like master.
Just then, two small figures came running quickly from a distance. One was Lan Yuan Yanzhu, who should have been at school, and the other was Tina, who had gone to send something to her family abroad that morning.
Besides them, Chizu Natsuyo also drove over on a small electric scooter that she had requisitioned on the road. After arriving here, she fell off the scooter, walked to the messy church courtyard, and slumped down.
"How could this happen?"
Senju Natsuyo's eyes lost their sparkle.
"Everyone, woohoo..."
Aihara Enju was even more direct, bursting into tears, just like the other injured children of the curse.
"Broly..."
Tina walked over and called out to the Saiyan boy.
"If I hadn't left here this morning..."
After hearing what had happened, the girl felt somewhat guilty.
"If you hadn't left here, you might have died too."
Tendo Kiki offered the girl a word of comfort.
Tina silently shook her head.
She is not an ordinary person; she is a professional assassin.
Their assassination techniques and their ability to sense danger are unmatched by ordinary people.
At this moment, the happiness levels of the three people dropped sharply.
"Don't be sad..."
Broly tries to comfort the three girls.
"How can we not be sad? These people who died were all our friends..."
When Senju Natsuyo arrived in front of the little priestess, she had already stopped breathing.
Her clothes were tattered and torn, with many shards of metallic metal piercing through her body.
"Master Aqua."
Broly could only turn to Aqua for help.
"I don't know if it will work, but I can give it a try."
Aqua took out her lotus staff.
"Lady Aqua, what do you want to do?"
Tendou Kisei looked at Aqua with some confusion.
"What else can we do? Of course, we can resurrect the dead."
"Huh?!"
Aqua's words took those immersed in sadness by surprise.
"Oh, is it really possible to do something like that?"
Tina opened her mouth wide and asked.
"I have no idea."
Aqua meant to say that, but the words that came out were...
"Who do you think I am? I am the great goddess of water, Lady Aqua!"
The resurrection magic circle began to unfold.
"Broly, piece together some of the mangled corpses!"
Aqua didn't know if it was possible to resurrect the dead in a world without ghosts, but she was certainly increasing the possibility of resurrection.
Broly quickly picked up some of the most gruesome pieces of the body and pieced them together.
"Innocent victims, may you be restored to your former state by the divine power of the great Lord of Water, Shenwu!"
The staff was slammed into the ground with a clanging sound, and a large number of metal pieces were pushed out from the bodies of the corpses and the wounded by an invisible force.
"Rise, my faith, uh, my beloved daughter, the Scorpio believer!"
The wounded were healed, and the mangled corpses were restored to their original state, but Aqua was somewhat uneasy. According to the rules of the heavens, the dead cannot be resurrected at will.
Of course, she was not a goddess who followed the rules of heaven, but she worried that her resurrection magic might be useless to the creatures of this world.
"Lady Aqua, what's wrong with me?"
Fortunately, her worries were unnecessary. The little priest opened his eyes and, apart from being a little confused, there was nothing wrong.
In the world of Black Bullets, there is no afterlife; the soul depends solely on the body. When the body dies, the soul dies; when the body lives, the soul lives.
After dying in less than ten minutes and being resurrected by Aqua, no one showed any abnormalities except for crying out in pain.
Aihara Enju, Chiju Natsuyo, Tina: "..."
Apart from Broly, everyone else present was somewhat dumbfounded, staring at this true miracle.
"That bastard who bombed this place, I hope I catch him soon enough! He made me expend so much divine power!"
Aqua's face was a little pale. The mass resurrection of nearly a hundred people was a considerable drain on her, especially since this world had no magical factors and not many of her followers. It relied entirely on her own divine power as fuel for the resurrection spell, yet she was still cursing and swearing.
"Uh, Lady Aqua, someone online has claimed responsibility for this attack..."
"What?"
Tina took out her phone and opened a website.
The Japanese Human Pureblood Society was very high-profile; after planting the bombs, they announced their attack on the Scorpion Cult.
"This is punishment for the cult of traitors; pure human blood is supreme!"
A masked man shouted into the video, then put the bomb into a supply box and recorded a donation video.
"This is a live broadcast of the Pureblood Society's righteous punishment. Fellow purebloods, please watch our righteous sanction against the Traitorous Cult..."
Tina clicked on the link again, and the screen switched from the recorded video to the live stream, which was the live stream footage.
However, compared to the fact that the church courtyard in the outer city was being broadcast live by a remote high-definition camera, the scene of Aqua resurrecting the dead in a group has already raised countless questions among netizens watching the live broadcast.
Live broadcast of the Human Pureblood Society's righteous punishment?
The miracles of the Scorpio Cult should be confirmed on site!
"I rushed over immediately after seeing this."
Tina said.
