As time went on, Celestia's passion quickly faded. The main content of the notes was completely different from what she had anticipated. There were no stories, only accidents. As her mind cooled down, the bad feeling began to rise from her throat again as she recalled that all the experimental materials were living organs.

Before long, the two of them also became bystanders, leaving only Li Xin still reading.

"Travis, please place everything on the table for me. It looks like it's going to take some time," Li Xin said.

"Okay." Travis nodded.

"Is there an order to the notes?" Li Xin asked while reading.

"No, no one can understand it, and even within the Church Court, people are very resistant to it."

Even the Law Enforcers of the Inquisition felt resistant to this, fearing that their souls might be unknowingly polluted. Actually, Warner also wasn't very supportive of Simmons and Celestia getting involved, as for Li Xin, he was, after all, Night Patrol.

Isaac's artificial human technology was based on the Earth Mother Goddess Court's Forbidden Technique of Life Science. Li Xin wasn't looking to learn this—it was too complex, involving many fields such as barriers, spells, magic potions, medicine, and more. The notes' sequence was definitely messy.

The notes themselves were very clear, the content was very strict, and the handwriting wasn't messy, indicating Isaac's concentration and emotional stability while recording the notes.

Such a quantity of notes was only a part of the latter stages; some of the early drafts had already been destroyed by Isaac.

Inside the great hall, it was very quiet. Five clergymen stood like statues, just watching Li Xin and the notes. They had to ensure no accidents happened, regardless of whether the reader was reliable or not—it was their duty. Travis, Simmons, and Celestia were also watching Li Xin, unsure of what Li Xin would find from this.

"Li Xin, do you understand it?"

Li Xin shook his head at the words but continued reading.

"Then what are you looking at?"

Li Xin didn't answer but instead turned to Travis, "Travis, I remember you said Isaac didn't get along well in the Church Court?"

"Yes, he's a life science doctor, part of the Church Court's research personnel, but he's antisocial and arrogant, seeming to look down on everyone, never being put to good use, so he moonlighted as a coroner here with the Funeral Attendants to obtain some experimental materials." Travis said, "Unfortunately, I never had direct dealings with him, oh, the research institute is an organization within the Church Court, dealing broadly, primarily with the Abyssal Fallen and cult heretics."

Researching these things, dissection was inevitable.

Li Xin nodded and continued to slowly flip through the notes. Simmons and Celestia joined in again for a while but soon gave up. Travis had the most patience, as reviewing files was standard practice for the Funeral Attendant, but he genuinely didn't know what Li Xin could find from this pile of stuff. The Church Courty's research people had checked; the intention was to create soulless monsters, and the result was a failure.

Yes, the result was a failure, he didn't succeed.

As time slowly passed, Li Xin and the others had their meals at the Church, the meals were, needless to say, very exquisite and luxurious. Just the plates alone made Li Xin want to stash a few into his bracelet. During this time, Metropolitan Warner also came by, talked with Celestia for a while, and checked on her condition.

In essence, the Metropolitan also wasn't too concerned about this sealed object. Desacrilege was a matter of power, requiring someone of Warner's level to worry about whether the behavior would infringe upon divine authority. However, the experiment was a failure, and even if it had succeeded, it wouldn't reach that level, of course, once any desecration is discovered, it must be nipped in the bud, not given a chance to develop.

So upon discovering someone continuing the experiment, the Church would support it, otherwise, sealed objects were not allowed to be taken out. The reason they weren't taken to the Church was because Li Xin was Night Patrol, he couldn't enter the Church Court.

After dinner, Li Xin didn't continue reading; Travis, Simmons, and Celestia, like three curious children, had already endured a whole day. Watching Li Xin studying so seriously made the three of them seem quite silly, even the accompanying clergymen found them odd since they were supposed to be investigating a case but weren't reading anything.

"Have you found anything?" After Li Xin finished eating, Celestia finally couldn't hold it anymore, she also couldn't understand how Li Xin could have such an appetite, even eating her and Simmons' shares.

"No."

"What?" Celestia stood up immediately, "Brother Li, are you teasing us, after looking for so long?"

"Yes, teasing you, but there's a bit of a find." Li Xin laughed, "Travis, aren't you drinking that? If not, I'll drink it."

Travis handed it to Li Xin, "I'm not thirsty."

Li Xin downed it all in one go; the food here at the Metropolitan's was truly amazing, the best, of course, being the Gourmet Association, and then here. It looked quite ordinary, but the taste was indescribable, he just loved this kind of back-to-basics cuisine.

Feeling full, Li Xin patted his belly, "There's something wrong with this Isaac."

"Of course we know he's problematic, he's a desecraer!" Celestia, who's usually not this impatient, but after having her curiosity piqued all day, didn't think Li Xin could find any clues.

"The content of the notes, I don't quite understand, but I'm mainly looking for descriptions in there that can show his emotions and personal characteristics, these can all reflect his state."

"We've also looked, but didn't find any useful information." Travis nodded.

"Right, that's the problem, in an experiment notebook, Isaac paid special attention to controlling his emotions, or rather, he was very focused and stable during the experiments, the purpose was very clear, this doesn't seem like the stability someone introverted and poor in communication would have," Li Xin said.

"Not necessarily, some obsessive people can be very stable about what they focus on," Celestia retorted.

"Yes, there are certainly such people, but look at his notes, he is a very knowledgeable person, skilled in various abilities, and also very bold, daring to study this in the Church, he would certainly find various excuses, but he would be bold and careful, after such prolonged research he was only discovered, this isn't something an obsessive person can achieve, he even became a coroner to obtain materials without drawing attention. Now, you tell me how such a formidable person could have been doing poorly in the Earth Mother Goddess Court, it terrifies me just thinking about it, could he have infiltrated the Church just for this experiment?" Li Xin said.

Celestia and Simmons were still a bit dazed, while sweat beaded on Travis's forehead, his heart was pounding. As a captain among the Funeral Attendants, he had come across various criminals, the Fallen, and Cultists, including some talented individuals, but none who could have such meticulous intentions; anyone with such capabilities would never be obscure.

"What is most needed to create artificial humans?" Li Xin asked.

Simmons and Celestia exchanged glances, feeling like fools, Travis frowned, "To grant life to lifeless things, it must be life force, and in the Earth Mother Goddess Court, they possess the most knowledge in this area."

"So now there are two questions, is Isaac really dead, and does Isaac have any relatives or friends?" Li Xin inquired.
