第三百九十七章 失败的潜入

“居然敢这么大言不惭？你肯定不知道属于我的圣械的力量吧！”
刻意压低的声音出现在西卡身后，毫无疑问，这是另一位红衣主教梅莉莉现身了，看到戴丽娜轻松抓住了几乎没有反抗能力的西卡，梅莉莉甚至有一种“烛火也不过如此”的感觉，所以说话的语气不免越发嚣张。
However, Sika will not be thrown off balance by the taunts of the enemy. Despite being captured by the Red Robe Bishop and feeling the fear of death, he is surprised to find that he doesn't feel any sense of retreat. Instead, he feels a hint of regret in his heart.
"Without me... the candle will have to find another doctor. I hope it doesn't make Miss Felinta feel too troubled..."
Having such a calm thought, Sika even used his acting skills from the theater performances to buy some time. He pretended to huddle and tried to free his neck from Darina's grasp, while controlling his muscles to make it appear as if he was filled with fear.
"No... Please... I'm just responsible for doing odd jobs at the camp, the things I know are worthless, don't kill me... I don't want to die..."
That's right, Xika didn't pretend to be righteous and say nothing. He was afraid that the other party would really be impatient and kill someone. But he also didn't intentionally elevate his identity to make it seem like he knew a lot. He was afraid that these two red-robed bishops were not greedy at all and would just capture him and retreat.
At this moment, appearing to know a little bit about something yet not having a complete understanding is the most appropriate. Coupled with Sica's exquisite acting skills, I believe even the guards in charge of interrogations in those small towns wouldn't be able to see through it.
But... "
So you were trying to buy time?"
While Sika's acting was flawless, quick-witted Melili still managed to discern the true intentions of this seemingly reserved boy before her.
"I have to say, as a Candle Spirit Medium, it's impressive to still have such courage, but it's a pity..."
Melili's expression turned cold and merciless as she brought out all the huge sword blades in her hands, aiming them at Sika Jung-hu's face.
My saint's name is 146—Koran, and its ability is to release powerful electric currents to attack enemies. It can inflict unbearable pain on people and even cook living creatures. Initially, I intended to use it to interrogate you, but for now... just let me sleep peacefully. Although it may seem a bit pitiful, when you wake up again, it might be in Moswich."
Without giving Sika another chance to speak, Merilili's enormous sword blade glimmered with dazzling electric light. These currents surged directly towards Sika, while Davina held his throat tightly. The pitiful young spirit user couldn't even let out a scream as he was engulfed in the surging electric currents.
After about five seconds, Xika finally stopped his painful struggle and was stunned.
"With this level of electric current, the central nervous system of the brain has been damaged. A normal organism would have died, but he is an anomaly. He won't die, but he won't wake up until the self-repair of his nervous system is complete. I really don't know what his spiritual power is, but a spiritualist like Zhuhuo would undoubtedly stand out after being turned into a divine machine."
Sika threw her soft and fluffy body into the bushes, and Merilli seemed quite excited about what they could gain from this trip. It's important to note that the promotion path for red-clothed bishops is very limited, and unless one has exceptional talent, they will hardly receive any support or resources. However, apprehending a spiritualist is definitely a huge accomplishment. If they can truly bring the spiritualist back to the holy city, apart from the rewards in position, the red-clothed bishop will also receive a large sum of money for indulgence as a bonus.
Don't think it's vulgar. Cardinals are also human beings and they also enjoy indulgence. However, the "salary level" of cardinals is not particularly high, so it is completely impossible for them to live a luxurious life like the nobles. That's why many cardinals are willing to marry the children of nobles and rely on "easy meals" to legally obtain high-quality lifestyle and enjoyment.
Of course, it was a bit too arrogant to start thinking about enjoying ourselves immediately after ambushing and knocking down Sika. So, now, Delia simply plans:
"Until now, we haven't been discovered, it seems that the spiritualist who can sense enemies on a large scale and Carlos are not really at the Candlelight Camp. But judging from this guy's delaying tactic, it's likely that the night patrols at Candlelight are rotated regularly. If he doesn't switch posts on time, it's not a joke – it will immediately trigger an alarm. Therefore, in order to avoid being surrounded by more than ten spiritualists and facing such an extreme outcome, we need to speed up our actions."
Although Dahlia is confident in her combat abilities compared to Melily, she is far from being arrogant. The abilities of spiritual beings are varied and unpredictable, often surpassing imagination. When attacked by multiple spiritual beings at once, it is highly possible that she wouldn't even know what strange abilities she was being attacked with before dying.
Therefore, even if Carlos is not in the camp, the infiltration operation can only be an infiltration operation.
However... Will such an operation really go so smoothly?
Merrily and Delia quietly left, it seems that they plan to patrol around the campfire again to find the best route for infiltration.
And just about five minutes after the departure of the two bishops in red robes, in that inconspicuous thicket of bushes, Seika, whose clothes had become somewhat blackened, slowly and unsteadily stood up.
"It hurts so much... Are they trying to electrocute me? My nerves feel like they're burning, I might actually die. I was so close to dying!"
Every part of his body ached, and Sika strongly suspected that he had actually passed out from the pain earlier. The Scarlet Bishop had been much more brutal than he had anticipated. He had thought that the most normal "abduction" method would be to knock someone unconscious and tie them up, just like in stories. But he never expected that the way that girl, Merrily, dealt with things was by burning the nerves with electric current, completely eliminating the need for ropes to tie him up. Even for an ordinary spiritualist, it would take at least three or four days for the nerves to recover after being burnt.
Just that... But it is also because Dahlia and Meryl were too unfortunate. They didn't know that Sica, as a spirit user, has the ability of "rapid healing." Not only can he quickly heal wounds for others, but when healing himself, he can even surpass speed and precision.
From the moment Merily confidently dropped a unconscious Sika into the bushes, their infiltration had already failed.
