Aquamarine Fantasy Dormitory, one of the dormitories of the School of Art.

Barry was a little confused, but the patrol route on the map also included the Art Academy, so he agreed to Lin An's proposal.

Arriving at the door of the dormitory, Lin An used the idle mode to specifically look at the address he found yesterday, but unfortunately the other party was not in the room.

"Lindou!"

Continuing to perform the task along the route, Lin An suddenly heard a familiar voice and saw Sang Sang and two men who were also wearing fashionable clothes. They happened to pass by and rushed towards him without any explanation.

"Your friend?" Barry asked.

Lin An briefly explained the ins and outs and saw Sangsang approaching the two of them and looking at Barry curiously. The latter pondered for a moment and did not call the police to drive away the three of them to prevent unnecessary panic.

"We just happen to be entering the interior of the Art Institute. Why not follow them."

"Uncle, are you here to visit our band too?" Sangsang waved to his two companions, "You take Lin Dou and uncle for a walk first, I'll take care of something and be back soon!"

After that, she ran to another road.

"It's great to be young. Alas, I will become an uncle now." Barry sighed with emotion. "It's a pity that I couldn't gather four friends when I was young, let alone form a team to debut."

"If our team forms a band one day, you must be the bassist."

"That's too much, Lin."

"Please, you two are too much." The bass player on the side rolled his eyes, "Can't you see me?"

"Just kidding. Boy, it seems that your band's main focus is groups of handsome guys?" Barry hit a stick and gave a sweet date.

"The person who greeted you just now is a woman." Lin An added abruptly.

"female?!"

Barry obviously didn't keep up with the version updates. He kept recalling Sangsang's appearance and dress along the way. Lin An's words echoed in his mind, and the fragmented world view was reorganized.

The School of Art has four floors. The exterior walls are like a colorful universe, full of unique and colorful creative street graffiti. The interior of the building is more like a living organism full of artistic cells, with various art works hanging, placed, and played everywhere.

From paintings to photography, from sculpture to installation art, from saxophone to organ, from classical music to hip-pop, the talents and innovative spirit of college students are all on display.

The School of Music is on the left and the School of Painting on the right.

While Lin An was chatting with two band members, he kept scanning the surrounding people in the empty mode, but there was still no trace of other mysterious people.

The investigation yielded no results, so Lin An simply interrupted the current topic of the bassist and drummer.

“Where is your former frontman Deval Lumsden?”

"Dezi?" The bassist shook his head in surprise, his dreadlocks like a waterfall, "What are you looking for her for?"

"Perfect synchronization, defeating the Seventh Apostle Musical Angel together."

"ha?"

"Just asking a few questions." Lin An said, "You are friends, right. Do you have any clues about her trajectory?"

Hearing this, the bassist and drummer looked at each other, and the former suddenly put his arm around Lin An's shoulders.

"Idol, if we tell you what happened, can you agree to participate in our show? Lugou?"

"I just want to say that I don't want to say that I turned left to social media."

"Ah this..."

The drummer scratched his head and scratched his head, then spoke after a long while: "Actually, we are not familiar with Dezi... Do you want to know why he left the band?"

"Don't care. Barry, are we still on the patrol route?"

"Well, the Music School has four floors, the Art School has four floors, and then go out and turn left to the Astronomy School."

"wait wait wait!"

When the band members saw Lin An parting ways with them, they quickly caught up with them and recounted their grievances in an attempt to impress Lin An.

"Idol, here's the thing. Sangsang likes to ride motorcycles, but one day he was hit by a drunk driver. At that time, the doctor said that he would most likely become paralyzed or even become a vegetative state."

"To our surprise, within a few weeks, his injury healed. It was truly a medical miracle. The hospital couldn't find a way to explain it. What they told us was that Sangsang had strong self-healing power. Fortunately they didn’t detain him for study.”

"Later Sang Sang was discharged from the hospital safely. At that time, the relationship between Dezi and him was at its most intense. They hung out together every day. We were so angry that we wanted to quit the band!"

At this point, the drummer whistled.

"Until ten days ago, they suddenly had a big quarrel, and I thought it was just an ordinary quarrel. Unexpectedly, Dezi really left, and Sangsang was depressed for a few days, and he was looking for a new lead singer."

The bassist interjected with a hint of rancor.

"To be honest, I have disliked that bitch Dezi for a long time. He is crazy and full of swear words all day long. He drags Sangsang to go to nightclubs every day. It's not my fault. At least he got admitted to Ann Arbor University. Rock and roll is his hobby. Someone really takes it seriously. Being a homeless hippie is my graduation goal.”

Their account was more detailed than Lin An's, because the Internet only mentioned that Sang Sang was injured in an accident, took a few weeks off, and came back from the hospital. It did not mention that her injury was serious and she was almost paralyzed.

A miraculous recovery...

"There's no need to bury your former lead singer. Maybe she was the one who cured Sangsang." Lin An said.

"How is that possible!" The bassist and drummer shrugged neatly, "During that time, Dezi, besides drinking and messing around to wake up Sangsang, she also attended various parties. She didn't mind making a fool of herself, but she was happy to eat everywhere."

Listening to their complaints, Lin An figured out the whole story.

This former lead singer named Deval Lumsden is 99% Ghost Unit 2!

And similar to what was discussed on the World Tree Forum, what Unit 2 awakened was the mysterious prototype of the "Way of the Saints".

This religion comes from Lower East Asia. It was originally intended by missionaries to use the Redemptorist sect to convert thousands of Yoruba people who were brought to the New World by slave traders, so that they could decorate their houses with pictures of the saint and the Son, and hold masses and prayer ceremonies. .

Unexpectedly, these slaves from South China learned a lot from each other afterwards.

They used statues of saints, but still worshiped the gods in a southern way of worship, using holy images to pray for help from the invisible spiritual world.

The descendants of slaves continued to believe in this new religion, which spread widely and was named "The Way of the Holy People."

The core of the way of the saints is to interact with the Holy Spirit Orisha, and obtain the power given by him through the medium of the saints. There are seven saints, namely Obatar, Elegu, Chango, Ogun, Oshien, and Ye Maya and Oya.

They control different cosmic bodies - drawing on Greek and Roman teachings - and control all aspects of human life, so believers get different witchcraft from them.

However, the gift is time-limited, and believers must strengthen the aura of the saint through continuous sacrifices.

The sacrificial ceremony lasted for seven days, during which the sacrifice would be kept motionless in the room, waiting for it to empty its body of filth and usher in its final death.

After killing these sacrifices - chickens, cattle or sheep - the believers place their severed heads on top of the altar, cook their organs, and eat them.

The most important thing is the blood of the sacrifice, which will be retained and sprinkled on the body of the worshipper.

Through this kind of sacrifice, the saint attached to the worshiper will strengthen the aura by swallowing the blood of the sacrifice, further strengthening the connection with Orisha, thus making the witchcraft mastered by the worshipper more powerful.

Machine No. 2 used the witchcraft of the saint to extract the blood of a certain sacrifice, strengthen its strength, and allow Sangsang to recover quickly without leaving any sequelae.

The core of the way of the saints is continuous sacrifice. I am afraid that after tasting the sweetness once, Unit 2 will start to use mystical techniques to kill people.

Due to the concealment and weirdness of witchcraft, Machine No. 2 kills people very quickly. The victims are scattered in every corner of Ditli City, allowing him to escape the capture and sanctions of the Foundation and the police again and again.

Lin An was thinking about it and suddenly stopped.

He has one more question.

"De Waal...isn't a woman?"

"She, uh, he is a psychological transgender. Underneath, he is still a man, but his appearance and recognition are that of a woman. In order not to create conflicts, we usually refer to Dezi as 'she'."

Lin An was not surprised. The Way of the Holy People is a religion that has always been known as "female-oriented and female-normative", and women can hold the highest leadership positions.

Not only that, their teachings are very loose, and their believers include a large number of gays, transgenders, and queer people.

Very good, now Unit 2 is the prototype of the Way of the Saints.

"Stop, I don't understand." Barry, who was eating melon on the side, frowned, "Let me explain the relationship between Sancher and De Waal... one of them is a woman, and the other is a man; the other is a man, and the other is a man. woman?"

"Sang Sang appears to be a woman, but is actually a male, and is heterosexual. He likes women; Dezi appears to be a man, but is actually a woman, and is also heterosexual, so he and Sang Sang became a couple. It's very complicated. ?I think it’s okay.”

"Isn't it just a male and female couple?" Barry revealed the secret.

"Hush! Uncle, you dare to talk like that in our university. Do you want to be criticized?" The bass player quickly interrupted, "That's called a slut couple."

"Well……"

Barry was speechless. He was about to talk to Lin An, but he suddenly spoke.

"Barry, I remembered something." Lin An ran up the stairs, "You and the two brothers are chatting first."

"Send me a message when you're done, and I'll ask the captain and Mr. Modiric to come over and clean up the mess." Barry replied calmly.

Lin An made an "OK" gesture.

Going to work with Barry is convenient, and this kind of trust that maintains a sense of distance is exactly what Lin An needs.

Although he admired the captain's character, Simon was too just. On the contrary, it was Barry who was both good and evil who made Lin An feel more comfortable getting along with him.

In the vent mode, Lin An discovered the specific location of Unit 2. He was currently on the top floor of the Art Academy.

Just as they approached the rooftop, a high-pitched and harsh voice came.

"Sanchel, Sangsang! I love you to death!"

"What the hell! Get away, or I'll call the police!"

"You stinking bitch, don't be shameless! This is the last warning! Go back to my side!"

"Ping!"

Lin An kicked open the door, causing a pair of entangled ladies to turn around sharply.

"Little brother, your tea has arrived!"

After glancing around, the system attached a panel to the legendary Ghost Unit 2.

Just as he guessed, this person is one of the seven saintly mediums of the Way of the Saints, the maternal spirit Yemaya, the daughter of the moon, the controller of soul magic and witchcraft!
