Chapter 1045 - 1045 719 Soul Loss Syndrome
?Chapter 1045: Chapter 719: Soul Loss Syndrome Chapter 1045: Chapter 719: Soul Loss Syndrome When Duanmu Huai returned to Arkham City once more, everything remained orderly as ever.
The only thing to mention is…
“Mistelina, what in the world is with that crowd of people outside?”
After Duanmu Huai returned to the city, the first thing he did was to find Mistelina and voice his confusion.
Upon his return to Arkham City, the first thing Duanmu Huai saw was the long line of people queued up outside the domain’s gate, which puzzled him. Considering it was the deep winter in the Faelun world, weren’t these people afraid of freezing to death by aimlessly coming here?
“Ah, I was just about to report to you, Great Judge. Currently, there is a curse known as Lost Souls Syndrome spreading throughout the Northern Lands, and those… are refugees seeking sanctuary. In fact, this matter has a little to do with you.”
“Lost Souls Syndrome? What is that? How is it related to me?”
Upon hearing Mistelina’s reply, Duanmu Huai looked puzzled, but Mistelina quickly started to fill him in on the details.
Previously, after Duanmu Huai had dealt with that envoy of the True God and their base, he had shared the information with all the churches in Arkham City. Frankly speaking, it was akin to how a police department shares case files with other stations, asking them to be on the lookout for similar incidents within their jurisdiction.
Putting aside Evil Gods like Shawl, benevolent Deities like Tyler naturally would not stand by idly. Upon further investigation, everyone was shocked. They had always assumed that this so-called Supreme True God was perhaps a newly risen cult, but careful investigation revealed that this faction had been lurking in the Northern Land for many years, and all the while spreading the Lost Souls Syndrome curse.
Simply put, those afflicted with this curse start by acting groggy and dazed, then appear soulless, left with just an empty shell. Subsequently, they disappear, and when found again, they have joined the cult and become its fervent believers.
For instance, Amelia and Kasim also investigated this matter and found out from the wife of a farmer outside Baldur’s Gate that her husband had had an encounter with these mysterious individuals. Subsequently, he changed completely, turning from a spirited young man into one seeming to suffer from dementia, and then he just vanished.
Following the trail, Amelia and the others tracked down a base of the Supreme True God nearby. To their surprise, the missing farmer had already turned into a complete zealot and an important member of that place.
Of course, Amelia’s group later stormed, overcame the cult hideout, and captured people like the farmer, who were then sent to jail. However, no matter how he was interrogated, the farmer would repeat, over and over, that he worshipped the only True God, who would eventually devour the world…
The reason this affliction was named Lost Souls Syndrome was that, after inspections by priests and Sacred Knights, it was shocking to discover that these individuals had no soul within them; their souls were completely untraceable!
Now, this was strange.
Logically, if the soul is annihilated, the body must be dead. And if a body is alive without the soul, it should be classified among the Undead Creatures. However, these people were not Undead Creatures; they lacked the characteristics of the Undead. In contrast, their behavior was almost indistinguishable from when they were alive, except for the loss of soul and the fanatical worship of the supposed Supreme True God.
“So, what’s with all those people outside?”
