Exorcism 011

The bald man's heart-wrenching screams made the few people running ahead run even faster.

Wei Kaiyang suddenly saw a building appear ahead: "Go there, go there!"

Zhao Lei also looked up. It was a place that looked like a church. He encouraged his other companions.

Meanwhile, the corrupted Xiao Lu behind them had gotten up again and was chasing after them.

The bald man's face was completely ruined, and he lay twitching on the ground.

After Xiao Lu left, he suddenly sat up, and the destroyed skin on his face began to gradually recover.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness my skill hasn't been used up yet, hahaha, didn't expect that, did you?" He turned his head and watched those figures fade into the distance. "I'll let you be the targets. I'm going to that NPC's house. If worse comes to worst, I'll take his family hostage and force him to protect me!"

As he spoke, he turned his head and immediately met that terrifying face from just now.

"Hehe..." Xiao Lu's face was incredibly bizarre.

The bald man finally realized—how could Xiao Lu, as their companion, not know that his skill was resurrection!

Desperate screams rang out once more. Zhao Lei and the others furrowed their brows. Almost there, almost there!

Having dealt with the bald man, Xiao Lu caught up again. His speed was absurdly fast. Just as he was about to grab the girl running at the very back, Wei Kaiyang and Zhao Lei simultaneously reached out and pulled the girl through the door.

Everyone thought they could finally catch their breath, but who knew that in the next moment, Xiao Lu would crash in through the window.

"I thought demons weren't supposed to be able to enter!!!" Wei Kaiyang cursed loudly.

Zhao Lei patted his shoulder. Following the direction Zhao Lei was pointing, Wei Kaiyang saw over a dozen people in robes staring fixedly at them. A weird sensation spread all over Wei Kaiyang's body.

Fortunately, they had officially started the mission. The dozen or so cult members surrounded the corrupted Xiao Lu, chanting incomprehensible spells. As the voices grew louder, Wei Kaiyang and the others also felt a bit dizzy, while the surrounded Xiao Lu held his head in agony, letting out inhuman shrieks. Right at that moment, the statue in the church seemed to come alive.

Both Wei Kaiyang and Zhao Lei noticed a distinct gleam of light emanating from the statue's eyes.

Watching the live broadcast, Lin Ye hugged the beautiful woman he had just hooked up with, letting out a disdainful scoff at the performance of the team on the screen.

"System, how are they supposed to pass this level?"

The system quickly replied: "The early hints were actually very clear. That world is invaded by demons. Upon arrival, they should have directly sought out a power capable of fighting the demons. The hint subtly mentioned a sacrifice, which actually meant they had to sacrifice one of their own to be possessed by a demon, and then actively seek the cult's help as a way to make contact with them."

"However, looking at the current situation, although they've lost a few people, they have technically taken the first step."

"Sigh, say, if someone like me went over there, those so-called demons wouldn't be able to do anything to me, right?"

"That is natural. Host, your ability is immortality; those demons cannot harm you."

"To make these idiots believe me, I have to work hard to put on an act every time, honestly." Lin Ye squeezed his hand tightly, causing the beauty beside him to cry out softly in pain. In order to establish his image as a resourceful mastermind, he left his invincible immortality skill unused and had to ask the system for the optimal solution every time. Over time, although he gained the title of a hero, it also left him somewhat frustrated.

Fortunately, he had already received countless praises and the highest treatment on the entire planet. This kind of life made him rather smug.

Wei Kaiyang earnestly thanked the cult for their intervention. He did not object to their request to join the cult. The whole squad was down to just him, Zhao Lei, and a member named Luo Huan. With fewer people came fewer differing opinions. Zhao Lei was a serious worker, and although Luo Huan lacked initiative, she was obedient.

Hearing that the three were outsiders, the cult members did not refuse their request to stay.

When Fang Zhiyi saw Wei Kaiyang again, he was wearing the cult's robes, earnestly preaching their doctrines to Fang's mother.

Seeing Fang Zhiyi approach, Wei Kaiyang revealed a slightly fawning smile. He knew the methods of this native resident all too well; he just couldn't understand why this young man hadn't joined the cult.

At this point, according to his and Zhao Lei's analysis, this world was simply divided into commoners, the cult, and demons. Although there were some other exorcists, their abilities were far inferior compared to the cult.

Watching his mother go off to busy herself, Fang Zhiyi acted as if nothing had happened: "Haven't seen you for a day, and you've already managed to get a staff position?"

Wei Kaiyang laughed awkwardly: "Just to stay alive..." Thinking of his dead companions, his expression became somewhat unnatural.

Seeing his hesitant manner, Fang Zhiyi spoke bluntly: "You mentioned investigating the cult's secrets, how's that going?"

Wei Kaiyang looked around and said mysteriously: "No clues."

"If you don't have any clues, why are you acting so mysterious?"

"But we do have a theory."

"Oh?"

"That cult might not be a proper cult." Wei Kaiyang relayed the results of his discussion with Zhao Lei. "What you said back then gave us some inspiration. If the cult exists to fight demons, what methods do they rely on to fight them?"

He recalled the tragic scene of Xiao Lu's death and the chanting that still lingered in his ears, feeling a bit unwell.

"Keep going."

"We plan to sneak into their prayer room tonight. I think there must be some clues there." Wei Kaiyang paused. "As a resident here, haven't you ever doubted them?"

"You're trying to get clues out of me, aren't you?" Fang Zhiyi spoke straightforwardly. He instantly understood that the other party was treating him as part of their mission. "To be honest, I haven't even met them yet."

"Then you..." Wei Kaiyang found it a bit hard to ask.

"There are some things you don't need to know." Fang Zhiyi stood up to see his guest out. "It's for your own good."

Wei Kaiyang tactfully stood up and walked to the door. He turned back to thank Fang Zhiyi, but Fang Zhiyi just waved his hand casually and ignored him.

Little Hei spiraled down once more, cursing and grumbling.

It was obvious it had gotten into another fight with that thing.

And it hadn't won.

Wei Kaiyang didn't know that ever since he met Fang Zhiyi, his live broadcast had gone completely black. This sparked countless speculations among the audience. No one knew the reason why. After all, these games that could earn national power had existed for a long time, and it was extremely rare for a live broadcast to be affected.

A message asking for help came through again. Fang Zhiyi sighed and went straight back to his room.
