Wei Kaiyang sincerely thanked the cult for their help. He did not object to their request to join the cult. The team was now down to just him, Zhao Lei, and a member named Luo Huan. With fewer people, there were fewer opinions. Zhao Lei was a conscientious worker, and although Luo Huan lacked his own opinions, he was obedient.

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

When Fang Zhiyi saw Wei Kaiyang again, he was wearing the religious uniform and solemnly preaching the doctrine to his mother.

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

According to his and Zhao Lei's analysis, the world was divided into civilians, cults, and demons. Although there were other exorcists, their abilities were far inferior to those of the cults.

Watching her mother get busy, Fang Zhiyi acted as if nothing had happened before: "You've actually gotten a government job after just one day?"

Wei Kaiyang chuckled awkwardly, "To save my life..." His expression turned somewhat unnatural as he thought of his dead comrades.

Seeing his hesitant manner, Fang Zhiyi spoke frankly: "How's it going with your investigation into the secrets of some cult?"

Wei Kaiyang looked around and said mysteriously, "There are no clues."

"Why are you acting so mysterious if you have no clues?"

"But we have a guess."

"Um?"

“That cult might not be a legitimate one,” Wei Kaiyang said, recounting the conclusion of his discussion with Zhao Lei. “What you said back then gave us an idea: if the cult exists to fight demons, then what means do they use to fight demons?”

He recalled the tragic scene of Xiao Lu's death and the incantation that lingered in his ears, and he felt quite unwell.

"Go on."

“We plan to infiltrate their prayer room tonight; I think there must be some clues there.” Wei Kaiyang paused. “As a resident here, haven’t you ever suspected them?”

"You're trying to find clues from me, right?" Fang Zhiyi spoke bluntly, and he instantly realized that the other party was treating him as part of their mission. "To my shame, I haven't met them yet."

"Then you..." Wei Kaiyang hesitated to ask.

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

Wei Kaiyang tactfully stood up and walked to the door, then turned back to thank Fang Zhiyi. Fang Zhiyi simply waved and ignored him.

Little Black circled down again, cursing under its breath.

It's obvious that it fought with that thing again.

And they didn't win.

Wei Kaiyang was unaware that his live stream had been stuck in a black screen state ever since he met Fang Zhiyi, which led to countless speculations among the viewers. No one knew why, since these games that could grant national power had existed for a long time and it was rare for a live stream to be affected.

When another request for help came in, Fang Zhiyi sighed and went straight back to her room.
