Chapter 2945: Chapter 981: Return of the Departed

Murphy was very happy to have received the "True Overlord Learning Machine".

With this thing, the training time for new recruits of the Cadman People’s Army will be greatly reduced, even the training time for factory workers can be saved. And upon learning that the Mechanical Church should have more similar things, Murphy almost immediately issued the first step of the mission chain named "Eliminate Hidden Dangers I" to the players.

The mission requires players to explore the sewers as much as possible and find more Mechanical Church strongholds, with high rewards given according to the number and completeness discovered.

This immediately mobilized the players’ enthusiasm, especially when the front entrusted to the Transylvania Expeditionary Force has been retaken, and the little players were idle during this time. All entertainment facilities at Charldo Harbor during wartime were closed, and except for those friends who had taken missions from Lady Taylor to go play in the black market, the remaining players quickly devoted themselves to this lucrative task.

For a time, the entrances to various sewers in Charldo Harbor had people drilling into them in broad daylight. Players never avoid people when doing this, which led to rumors quickly spreading that the Transia people coming to Charldo Harbor loved the "sewer taste".

But even with this black tech knowledge infusion machine, Murphy still hasn’t figured out what the Mechanical Church wants to do with the Pallian Sisters. Therefore, interrogating those captured Mechanical Church members became a necessary step.

These guys dress in a very punk style, and it’s the most hardcore wasteland style.

Each one is wearing a tattered robe stained with oil, covering their faces with mechanical-style masks. Due to long periods of activity in sewer environments, they also have the habit of wearing respirators, and because they are very skilled mechanics, everyone has a large mechanical backpack.

The Mechanical Church advocates practical engineering, which is not just a concept but a "living attitude" that must be practiced. For better conducting certain dangerous experiments and more precise creations, these guys all have signs of cybernetic modifications to varying degrees.

The most exaggerated guy in front of Murphy connected three differently sized mechanical arms to his back, making him look like a "human spider".

This makes these guys’ attire quite close to the "certain cult" style in Murphy’s mind. Well, it still lacks the incense burners to soothe the machine spirits and the pure skull badges all over the body, and those rather abstract symbols of mechanical faith.

But even just this style has already made some "Loyalty" players quite itchy.

Especially those who also serve as mechanics. They have already started inquiring openly and secretly about how to join the Mechanical Church and then harshly criticize its "lack of loyalty" style, followed by launching a thorough reconstruction in the holy name of Omnisya on this group of mechanics.

Of course, it also includes guys like Loyal Brother who are purely there to learn the skills of these mechanics, hoping to personally create powerful mechanical weapons for Transylvania’s military in the future. But most of the crowd is purely there to learn how to make the "machine spirit delighted".

Uh, it must be said that even in the already extreme Mechanical Church members’ views, the players who shout Loyalty are still a bit too extreme.

"Sorry to invite you over so late."

In a room used as an interrogation room above the shelter, Murphy, who is appreciating the strange dressing style of the Mechanical Church, said to Lady Lionea:

"But I need you to get these guys to talk as soon as possible, at least find out if there is more behind the Pallian Sisters issue."

"I’m happy to help, Sir Morphy, and I also believe that the methods of the Blood Covenant Clan will surely get these gentlemen to talk."

Already an "Honorary Transylvanian", Lady Lionea didn’t mind her temporary task; she simply said in an odd tone:

"But your politeness always seems so strange. Aren’t we vampires supposed to start our nightlife after dark? I’ve heard you still keep the habit of resting on those beautiful nights?"

"It seems Maxim really loves you, even telling you about such matters."

Murphy heard the teasing in Lionea’s words, so he immediately countered:

"So you need to finish this interrogation quickly, to spend a ’beautiful’ nightlife with Mark?"

"I do wish for that."

Lady Lionea sighed as she removed her bow Cavalry gauntlet and said:

"But your previous aura display and nocturnal echo, have left Mark still lying in bed now. His mind seems to have been messed up, muttering about the collapse of some new world, some horrible crime, some guilt payment...

I even suspect if he’s gone mad, but it turns out to be just a spiritual disturbance.

Just like what I am going to do to these unlucky ones...

The Blood Covenant Clan’s guilt perception was invoked, causing her fingers to be stained with a scarlet glow. She stepped forward and said to those stubborn Mechanical Church members who refused to speak:

"Come! Look into my eyes, sinners! Only confession can bring you peace!"
