"It's so noisy, it's affecting my ability to hear the voice of the gods."
"God, are you a Taoist monk?"
Nathaniel's brow furrowed slightly upon hearing Hiersta's words.
"Monks? I'm not like those Roman relics! I'm a priest! Don't underestimate my faith, '800'! Garbage!"
Seeing Nathaniel suddenly erupt in rage, it was clear that Hiesta hadn't expected it either.
However, just as she was pondering how to respond, a red light brushed past the space between their brows.
It struck the seats behind the two people directly, and the sharpness of the blow was so great that it sliced the seats in two.
Its sharpness was comparable to a water jet, and the flight attendant was so frightened by this sight that her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground.
However, Hiersta's expression remained unchanged after witnessing this scene, and he quickly made the most correct decision.
"Please allow me to apologize; I had no intention of looking down on your faith."
"Fine, it's not my job to defeat you here."
"Oh, so what exactly is your purpose?"
"Let's play a game."
Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Kanzaki Teru felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.
However, Hiersta was clearly intrigued.
"Games? What kind of games do you want to play?"
"What kind of game do you think it could be, since I've already called a detective? Detective Conan."
"I see, it's a deduction game."
"That's right! It's a deduction game! Although being a servant of God is not my original intention."
But I also have my own lofty dreams, so I had no choice but to get my hands dirty.
"I see. It seems you are a very ambitious person. So what kind of mystery game are you playing with us, someone with such a strong belief?"
"Guess how these people died. If you guess correctly, I will stop killing other passengers."
And it won't put up any resistance as you take it away.
Hearing what that person said, Kanzaki Teru was also stunned.
After all, the facts were almost obvious: the injuries on these three corpses were almost identical to the attacks launched by Nathaniel earlier.
All the wounds were on the neck, and they looked like a fatal blow. The purpose was probably to prevent the victim from making a sound at the moment of death.
Furthermore, there were numerous wounds on the back of the corpse, indicating that it had clearly been killed with a single blow.
Nathaniel's further torture of the corpse is incomprehensible, especially considering he was a Christian.
Just as Kanzaki Teru had guessed at the beginning, the group of people were either acting out of obligation or for work-related reasons.
In the end, he rushed forward but was killed in retaliation. However, since the other party proposed such a game, the answer could not be so easy.
"Oh, is that so? Isn't the answer a little too simple?"
However, while Kanzaki Teru was pondering, Hietha gave his answer without even glancing at the corpses...
"Is that so? But in my opinion, the answer to this question is not that simple."
"But aren't you only able to hear the voices of the gods? Did the gods even tell you things like this?"
"The voice of the Lord should be listened to with your heart, not actively asked. This is what a pastor should do."
To convey the Lord's will to the world, and to engrave the Lord's words in the hearts of every person.
He was a complete priest, and now Kanzaki Teru understood that this was not a disguise.
After all, who would want to play such a thankless and arduous role if they were to pretend? After all, a priest is completely different from an ordinary person.
Such groups can devote themselves to the faith of God with fanaticism, after all, faith is the foundation that supports their hearts.
"Okay, then that's the answer."
"what!?"
Faced with Hiersta's answer, Kanzaki Teru was stunned and unable to react.
"Hey! What are you saying?!"
1. "I said the answer is mainly that they died."
"Are you kidding me?! Besides, gods are..."
Before he could finish speaking, Kanzaki Teru felt a chill.
Following the source of the chill, Kanzaki Teru saw Nathaniel's murderous gaze.
After all, if he were to utter the words "non-existent," it would be tantamount to blaspheming his faith.
So Kanzaki Hikaru swallowed those words, but even so, Hiesta understood what Kanzaki Hikaru meant.
Chapter 307: The Lord's Consciousness
"But didn't he himself say it? [To convey the Lord's consciousness to the world and to engrave the Lord's words in the hearts of every person]."
Take a close look at these corpses, especially their frontal views.
Only after hearing Hiesta's words did Kanzaki Teru realize what was happening.
Because they were all lying on the ground, Kanzaki Teru assumed that they were killed because they attacked Nathaniel.
After all, this is the only way to be normal, and the body will lean forward and fall to the ground due to the inertia of sprinting forward.
However, after being reminded by Hiesta, Kanzaki Teru carefully turned all the corpses over.
Although it might disturb the crime scene, the murderer is already right in front of us, so it doesn't matter if it's disturbed.
At first, Kanzaki Teru thought the wound on his neck was the fatal one, but now it seems that might not be the case.
Because the scene in front of these three corpses was far more tragic than the scene behind them.
There was a wound resembling the shape of [B] in the area around the heart, which was deeply sunken and mangled.
This corresponds perfectly to Nathaniel's earlier statement—"Let the words of the Lord be engraved in the hearts of every man."
However, no matter how you look at it, this only deepens the suspicion against Nathaniel, and has nothing to do with the Lord's will.
"So what? Can you draw your conclusion based on this alone?"
"Assistant, how can you remain unfazed by such a scene? Do you have any humanity left?"
"Who gave you the right to say that! Besides, aren't you just like me?!"
"After all, I'm used to it."
"That's the real problem! What high school student would be familiar with a corpse?!"
"Aren't there two right here?"
He pointed to himself and Kanzaki Teru, a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
"But you're really useless, assistant. You've seen so many clues, how can you not deduce it?"
"Why should I be blamed by you! You were the one who forcibly dragged me here!"
Nathaniel looked somewhat helpless watching the two bickering.
He should have been the center of attention here, but the two of them didn't even acknowledge him.
"May I ask you how you came to this conclusion?"
Despite Nathaniel's question, Hiersta remained arrogant and haughty.
"It's a very simple line of reasoning. If they discover someone has broken in, the first thing the police should do is question them—"
Listening carefully to Hiesta's reasoning, Kanzaki Teru also wanted to see how she arrived at that answer.
"—But if that's the case, then one should lie down on the ground, not be prone."
After all, if you're standing and get attacked head-on, the impact will knock you down.
He pointed to one of the corpses closest to Nathaniel and looked at the bloodstains on the ground.
Although the blood flowing from the corpse had almost completely stained the entire space red, it was still possible to discern the blood spurting with a little effort.
"But that's not how it is in reality. Why is the corpse, which should be lying down, facing forward? I'll leave that question to you, assistant."
Although he followed Hiesta's train of thought, Kanzaki Teru hadn't expected to suddenly be asked to answer questions.
However, Hiersta has already given enough hints, so the answer to this question is not too difficult to come up with.
If this case is indeed, as Hiersta claims, due to the will of God.
There is only one answer to this unreasonable situation.
"Did Nathaniel do it?"
“That’s right, that’s exactly it. Although it’s very illogical, it would make a lot more sense if the Lord asked him to do it.”
"But... would such a thing really happen?"
Do you believe in the existence of gods?
Instead of answering Kanzaki Hiroki's question directly, Hiersta asked an unexpected question.
"That's really sudden, but I don't believe in the existence of gods."
After all, if one acknowledges the existence of gods, wouldn't that be tantamount to denying the meaning of one's own life?
"That's well said, assistant, but that's not what I wanted to say."
What I want to tell you is, "You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish?"
Are you trying to say that I'm not a believer, and therefore don't know what believers can hear?
“That’s right. After all, Mr. Nathaniel has been listening to the voice of his Lord. Can you deny him?”
"Having said that..."
Although the reasons are somewhat messy, they seem to make a lot of sense at first glance.
Kanzaki Teru himself is not religious, but he cannot easily dismiss the other party's views.
