Chapter 019 The Four

To be on the safe side, Tarona stayed in the ghostland of the "Blood Nun" for an entire afternoon. She informed Wuqing in advance and cast a magic of confusion on Wuqing, making the waiter who came upstairs to deliver the meal think that he was the girl who stayed in the hotel during the day.

They were all waiting quietly.

Night finally fell slowly in anticipation. The lights in Jizhou Prefecture were brightly lit and the streets were bustling with people. After asking passers-by, I found out that they had been attending temple festivals in the past few days.

What kind of temple fair is it?

The person being asked looked at him in surprise and said, "How could you not know? This is the Holy Mother of Eternal Life! As long as you make a sincere wish, the Holy Mother will mercifully respond. It is very effective!"

The Immortal Mother?

Golden Sword and Silver Sword looked at each other, strolled around outside the inn, and went upstairs one after the other.

The young master was the only one in the guest room, and Madam Luo was not there.

The two young men were confused but did not ask. Since Madam Luo was not here, she must have something important to tell them.

Under the light of a small lamp, Wuqing unfolded the letters that Jin Jian had searched from Lin Cong's study. Each letter was a ready-made piece of evidence, with detailed records of what was done with whom and when. Neither party in the correspondence had ever thought of hiding the truth from outsiders with obscure words.

They are very confident that what they do will not be discovered by others.

Or, even if it is discovered, others will not be alive to reveal the truth.

If I were braver...

Even if the truth is revealed, there are people who can cover it up and bury the bloody truth under tears and blood.

Wuqing stopped his gaze on the last letter. The last few sentences of this letter mentioned an important figure——

Mr. Ge.

There is only one high-ranking official in Jizhou with the surname Ge.

Ge Tong.

The chief constable lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then put the letter away carefully.

Before leaving, Lady Luo gave him some advice that it is useless to think too much, because some powerful monsters can sense your presence even if they are thousands of miles away as long as you have enough and deep thoughts about them in your mind.

"I'll handle the monster matters, and you handle the human matters."

He just needs to check people's business.

Humans and demons have different paths, so mortals like them should not rashly get involved in matters of exorcising demons.

Seeing that the young master had collected all the letters, the two young men stepped forward and, speaking in tacit understanding, told him in detail what they had found out.

"The Immortal Mother?"

Wuqing asked: "Are they really worshipping the Immortal Mother?"

Jin Jian said, "Yes, Afan and I have asked several people, and they all said that there is a temple ceremony for the Immortal Mother these days."

Silver Sword took over his words and said, "Not just a few people, but the people on the entire street below all looked pious when they talked about the Immortal Mother, as if they had seen the Immortal Mother's appearance with their own eyes."

Extremely weird!

It would be fine if it was just one or a few people, but as long as the people on the whole street talked about the Immortal Mother, no matter what they were doing before, their faces would immediately become extremely pious. This piety was really weird, and it made him and Golden Sword's backs numb.

It's even more evil than any cult they've ever seen before!

Thinking of this, Yin Jian felt a little scared. He couldn't help but lower his voice and ask his master: "Master, do you think that Jizhou Prefecture...is still normal?"

Will this place become the second Yanggu Town?

When he thought of such a possibility, Yin Jian wanted to run away from the city gate immediately with his son on his back.

Yanggu Town is just a small town, but it was already so dangerous. If they hadn't been lucky enough to meet Madam Luo, it would have been unknown whether they could have escaped unscathed that night.

If this Jizhou Prefecture is also...

Alas!

The boy's thoughts were scattered far away. Seeing that he had scared himself, he looked around quickly. There were indeed only three of them and the young master in the guest room. Madam Luo, who could kill dozens of monsters with one sword, was not here. This made the boy feel even more terrified.

I haven't seen any living monsters in the past ten years, but a large group of them suddenly came in the past few days. It's normal for this young boy with little experience to be scared.

Wuqing saw that Yin Jian, who usually liked to act mature, was like a frightened beast, looking here and there, and pouting in disappointment when he couldn't find anyone. He thought it was funny for a moment: "Don't worry for now, the situation in Jizhou Prefecture is still stable, and it won't become the second Yanggu Town."

When entering the city, Madam Luo comforted him, who was still in cat form, that she did not smell any scent of blood debt in Jizhou Prefecture, and this place would not become the second Yanggu Town, so he could go and investigate whatever he wanted without worry.

In fact, if you think about it, you will know that Jizhou Prefecture is a big city with people coming and going, some settled here, some working here, some passing through here, some doing business...all together, there are at least 100,000 or 200,000 people.

If such a big city becomes like Yanggu Town, there will be no need for Tarona to come, as the world consciousness can accurately locate it itself.

As the saying goes, if you are a stunted person, you will die if you dare to waste time.

Knowing this truth, Yichang only dares to cause trouble in those remote towns and villages.

But whether the anomaly is a big one hidden in the city or a small one hidden in the forest, everything can only be determined after Tarona's investigation.

After hearing what the young master said, Silver Sword touched the back of his head embarrassedly and felt a lot more at ease.

Wuqing looked at the night sky outside the window and estimated in his mind the time it would take for Zhui Ming to arrive. There was still some time left.

He turned to look at the two sword boys and said, "It's so lively outside, let's go and take a look."

Madam Luo left a magic trick on them to conceal their true identity. It is impossible for the entire Jizhou Prefecture to be as xenophobic as Yanggu Town, so their safety is guaranteed when traveling at night.

Wuqing lowered his head slightly, and used the cover of his wide sleeves to turn the crystal bracelet on his wrist.

This was also given to him by Lady Luo. He has it, as well as the golden sword and the silver sword.

Said that——

"As long as you silently say 'turn into a cat' in your mind, you will immediately turn into a cat and gain a certain speed increase within twenty breaths. As long as you are quiet, no one will notice you even if you stand in front of people."

This is the life-saving talisman that Madam Luo left for them.

…

Tarona, who was thought by the two children to have important things to do, was wandering around in the ghost domain of the "Blood Nun". She suddenly discovered that this thing had other uses besides being used as a portable space.

It can also be played externally.

Similar to the usage of space overlap, everything that happens in the ghost realm will not affect reality, but it will have a certain impact on the ghost realm itself.

This use was discovered at the right time, as Tarona was worrying about where to set up the battlefield when she faced the anomalies later.

After witnessing what happened in Yanggu Town, Tarona didn't think that the abnormalities in this world could possibly persuade people to turn back, so he decided to go ahead.

She had to fight against the abnormalities, so the problem came -

What to do on the battlefield?

Judging from the repulsive force she felt in Jizhou Prefecture, the abnormalities had most likely regarded this place as their home base or birthplace. Once a fight broke out, there was a high probability that Jizhou Prefecture would become a battlefield between her and the abnormalities.

This is no joke. Any anomaly that can survive the force of space tearing is not weak, and Tarona does not have the ability to kill the opponent in one move.

The fact that it develops in a shabby way doesn't mean it's weak; it's just jealous and afraid of the world's consciousness.

If the anomaly was an object, there would be a way to restore it smoothly, but this is the Immortal Mother, so the anomaly must be alive.

They could not start a war in Jizhou Prefecture, as there was no way for all the humans here to be evacuated in such a short period of time.

This world does not have any supernatural factors. It is impossible for it to be like the Anglo-American world where the agents only need to control the abnormalities and the surrounding humans will be diverted by superheroes. They don't need to be too skilled in doing this.

Super speed, boy!

In order to avoid any surprises, Tarona could not lay down large-scale space transfer magic in advance, and once she fought with the anomalies, she could not guarantee that she would have extra energy to transfer innocent people.

There is a certain risk in eliminating anomalies, especially such a stitched monster. If it attacks unexpectedly, the officers may be thrown to the ground.

The second use of the ghost domain solves this problem in a timely manner.

As long as Tarona drags the anomaly into the ghost realm, no matter how fierce the battle between her and it is, it will not affect reality in the slightest.

It is not easy to drag the anomaly into the ghost realm, but the [Blood Nun] is very powerful, and doing this is as easy as breathing and drinking water.

The solution to a big problem made Tarona feel happy, and she felt much lighter when she jumped on the roof.

Wuqing and his two companions were about to leave the inn and head towards the Temple of the Holy Mother of Eternal Life when Tarona had already arrived.

She landed silently on the roof of the main hall of the Temple of the Immortal Mother, and applied a dozen layers of Ignore Magic to herself the moment she landed. After applying it, she still felt it was not safe enough, so she applied a few more layers to make it a full number.

The Great Witch was looking down at the newly built temple from a high place. People were coming and going below, and the incense was very prosperous. Inside the main hall, in front of the incense burner, under the red trees, people were making wishes, and there was no end in sight.

The bronze incense burner was filled with incense sticks that never burned out, just like human desires that were endless.

Talona saw the same emotion on the faces and in the eyes of these people, a contagious fever that gradually became deeper, from a little to a lot, and finally became incurable.

As long as one enters the gate of this temple and confesses one's desires to the gods on the altar, many people will return ecstatically to fulfill their wishes.

Human desires are never satisfied.

Once one wish is fulfilled, you will want to fulfill your second wish. Once the second wish is fulfilled, you will want all your wishes to be fulfilled.

If they suddenly cannot achieve their goals, they will not doubt God, but only themselves.

Am I not pious enough?

Did I do something to displease God?

Is there anyone who is more favored by God than me?

Is there a wish being made against me?

...There are so many things like this, and the doubts in my heart don’t even overlap.

Those who see that other people's wishes have been fulfilled but their own wishes have not, will only become more obsessed, and then become more stubborn and more fanatical than anyone else.

Because they also want their dreams to come true.

As a result, this newly built temple became more and more magnificent and majestic, and people who saw it could not help but wonder: In a few years, will it be built to the sky?

Faith is originally the spiritual power in people's hearts. Now that there are real ghosts, gods and monsters, faith has become the fuel that strengthens itself.

The more people believe in it, the stronger it will become.

The more fervent believers it has, the safer it is.

When it has enough fanatical believers, it will have the confidence to confront and challenge the world consciousness.

These believers are its hostages. If it dies, they will not be able to survive either!

The world consciousness may not care if there are one thousand people, ten thousand people, or one hundred thousand people, but what if there are hundreds of thousands of people, millions of people, or tens of millions of people?

This is enough to make the world aware of the dangers of taking action.

Therefore, we must not give abnormalities enough time to develop, and we must nip them in the bud in the bud.

Tarona estimated the construction time of the temple. Fortunately, it was not very long. At most one-third of the people in Jizhou Prefecture had reached a frenzy of work.

Fifty or sixty thousand people, no big problem.

She has two packages here: physical awakening and mental attack. If there is enough time, it is not impossible to do both at the same time.

The "Blood Nun" who was between reality and illusion walked through the crowd and stood in front of the statue.

The golden statue on the altar is very tall, taller than the birch witch. It has kind eyes and a solemn appearance. It is obvious at first glance that it is a god who loves all living beings.

Moreover, it is very beautiful and many pilgrims are stunned by it.

His eyes were infatuated, as if he was looking at his dream lover.

Tarona looked at it for a while, took the picture, turned around and left.

[Theseus, you can create a file now. ]

This is a completely new anomaly, and it even has a complete human form.

Theseus: [Received, new file opened, and - are you sure you want to release the ghost realm? This may cause irreversible damage to the [Blood Sister] vest card.]

Once the damage of a vest card reaches 100%, it means that the vest card is useless.

The witch tiptoed and jumped back onto the roof: [Very well planned, isn't it?]

You can draw the vest card again, but you can’t take human life.

Resurrection is a forbidden technique. One or two is fine, but tens of thousands? I'm afraid she will die.

Theseus agreed and opened another calculation interface, which was named——

Statistics and estimates of the probability of having a partner who is not an A-lister.
