First of all, the man in front only said that he had eaten people and did not describe the process. The woman seemed to be very pitiful and innocent. She was not necessarily wrong. According to the law, both of them were guilty and the man who was punished previously was also guilty. The question was, how should they be judged? What was the basis of this?

After thinking about it for a moment, there was still no answer. Weiss saw that Elena was still sobbing beside him. Was she really going to be punished? Could he really punish this deskmate of his? He pressed down these doubts. There were two others. He might as well listen to them.

With this thought in mind, Weiss looked at the other three people.

A man in a military uniform suddenly stood up and walked towards the confessional as if he could not stand the oppressive atmosphere.

After a little while, the priest’s voice came from the confessional.

“Believer, what crime have you committed?”

“I’ve been serving the country my whole life. The only people I’ve let down are those brothers who died in battle. I didn’t take good care of their families. Their families are missing. They might have been kidnapped by hostile organizations.”

The priest chuckled meaningfully.

“You did speak of your sins. The Lord will forgive you.”

With that, they both walked out. The man walked straight back to his seat. The priest did nothing else.

“There’s only the two of you left. One of you can come.”

With that, he ignored them and walked back to the confessional.

Elena looked at Weiss with pleading eyes but when she saw Weiss’s helpless expression, her eyes dimmed.

“Lost Lamb, ask the Lord for forgiveness and repent from the bottom of your heart.”

“I didn’t do anything wrong. When my mother gave birth to me, she died in childbirth. My father also hated me. What wrong did I do?”

As soon as she finished speaking, a series of cries sounded.

Weiss was surprised. Elena was so innocent. How did she get in here? Was she the innocent one?

The priest’s gentle voice could be heard.

“Think about it carefully. There will always be one.”

Elena whispered in a sobbing voice,

“Is it because my best friend committed suicide by jumping off a building? I only spoke a few words to her boyfriend.”

Weiss had also heard about that incident. A female high school student had jumped down from a tall building. In the end, the case was left unsolved. It turned out that it had something to do with Elena.

“Alright, you can leave now.”

They walked out of the confessional side by side. Elena was still crying.

Weiss began to think back to everyone’s conversation. There was no clue. It was as if everyone had their own reasons. There were a lot of missing details and a lot of them simply weren’t worth mulling over.

For example, the suicide case that Elena mentioned, there were many areas that were not clear at all. The police had closed the case quickly. Thinking about Elena’s identity, it could not withstand any scrutiny.

Weiss looked around and saw some murals on the stools around him. There were six of them. One was a demon holding a child and gnawing on it. The other was two demons flirting, like…
