After Ye Ye arrived, Weipus and the other two bid farewell to them and followed the Firefly to find Naluo Wukuang.
Jiang Ran also parted ways with Aransta and went about their own business; they didn't need to act together yet.
Two more people met in the square.
The person sitting in the chair with their legs crossed is Bates, an SSS-class ghost storyteller from the Iron-Blooded Kingdom, while the person walking towards them is Yuri, an SS-class ghost storyteller from the Iron Tower Kingdom!
Yuri stood in front of Bates: "His Holiness the Pope told you not to come to this world, but you still came."
Bates yawned and glanced at him casually: "What, are you, the representative of the Pope, here to interrogate me?"
“This is outside my jurisdiction.” Yuri shook his head. “Since you’re here, do me a favor.”
"Oh? My dear [Pope] doesn't want me to participate in this Ghost Story World, and you've come to me for help instead? I'd like to hear what I can do to help you. You can't possibly ask me to help you find stamps or story characters, can you? Clearing the game is meaningless to you."
“Clearing this world is not within my mission scope, and even if I knew, it would be difficult for me to clear it.” Yuri took another step forward. “Because His Holiness the Pope just gave me a mission, and I need your assistance. If you refuse, I will be in a lot of trouble.”
"Oh? What if I really refuse?"
"I'm going to beat you up."
"That's really bad... So, what do you need my help with?"
"I need the location information of all the currently surviving ghost story tellers. Use your [Heavenly Eye] to help me find these people."
Bates asked, puzzled, "There are still more than a dozen ghost story tellers alive. Why are you looking for them?"
"I'm going to kill them." Yuri said in a calm tone, "His Holiness the Pope just gave me the order: except for those who have already awakened the Miracle, I need to kill all the ghost story masters currently in this ghost story world!"
"What did you say?!" Bates exclaimed. "The Pope has gone mad?! You must know that among these people are fallen gods who haven't awakened their divine powers yet, and other true gods who have taken a liking to god-substitutes who haven't been granted power!"
"Moreover, under the rules of this supernatural world, if you kill them, you will also die!"
“I don’t know what His Holiness the Pope is thinking.” Yuri shook his head. “But all I need to do is believe in His words and carry them out.”
“After all, I am His substitute.”
"But don't worry, His Holiness the Pope has temporarily granted me some privileges. Even if I kill someone, I will not be punished by the power of the rules."
"This is insane, absolutely insane!" Bates jumped to his feet, grabbing Yuri by the collar. "I understand less and less what those gods are thinking. Oh well, I can't be bothered anymore. Just do as you please—"
Bates released his grip, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at Yuri indifferently.
"Including your teammate Boulder, are you going to kill him too?"
“He’s not really my teammate, just a temporary colleague,” Yuri replied just as coldly. “You know, even if His Holiness the Pope ordered me to commit suicide, I would have no choice but to obey.”
"Haha, if He ordered you to kill me right now, would you do it?"
"Of course, but His Holiness the Pope has no reason to kill you. My time is precious. Give me a straight answer as to whether you will help me or not."
Bates stood there without giving an immediate answer. After pondering for a long time, he finally said helplessly, "Since you've come to me, I'll help you with this."
"However, it's not you who owes me a favor, but the Pope who owes me one!"
Bates chuckled mockingly, "Yuri, don't be too confident. There are some formidable guys among them. Don't get killed!"
“You have too much faith in those guys,” Yuri shook his head. “No one can defeat [fear].
"Phew—Captain, I think someone's watching us!"
Following behind Bouls, the Iron-Blooded S-Class Ghost Stories Master Sri looked around suspiciously.
“Hmm.” Booles nodded. “It seems that someone has been watching us not long after we got the seal last time. This seal is definitely not something simple. It should be said that it’s a hot potato!”
The two deliberately took a detour, but still couldn't completely shake off the group that was following them. Boers and Boers exchanged a glance and then followed them into a public toilet!
The group that had been following them kept their eyes glued to the toilet door, but they didn't see them come out for a while. Realizing something was wrong, they rushed inside only to find that no one was there!
"Damn it! Those devil's lackeys got away again!"
"But the windows in this public restroom were all sealed shut. How did they escape? And there's no sign that the windows were ever opened!"
Boers and his companion had already hidden in another alley.
"Hahaha! Those people who were following us are hilarious!" Sri burst into laughter. "They never imagined we could walk through walls without a scratch! We have to thank our captain for that!"
Boers smiled as well. After failing to replicate Alex's talent several more times, he finally chose to replicate Yu Cheng's talent, which also gave him the SSS-level talent "Creation"!
Another figure walked into the alley.
"Who?" Sri became alert instantly, but relaxed only after seeing the person's face clearly. "Oh, it's Yuri! You scared me!"
"By the way, where did you go before? Why didn't you come with us?"
Sri greeted him with a smile, and was about to pat Yuri on the shoulder when his pupils suddenly contracted!
Thick black mist emanated from Yuri's body, and a huge black python crawled out from his shoulder, its scarlet forked tongue flicking out!
Sri's expression instantly changed: "Yuri! Watch your shoulder! Damn it! What is that thing?"
Python?! Sri recalled a bad memory. He remembered that when he was eight years old, he went on an adventure in the wild and was bitten by a snake. Since then, he has had a great fear of snakes!
The black python raised its head and opened its blood-red mouth!
"No--"
"Sri! Get down!"
Boers shouted and then conjured a pistol out of thin air, blowing the black python's head off with a single shot!
Sri finally snapped out of his fear and quickly took a few steps back, scrutinizing Yuri with a questioning and slightly hostile gaze!
"Is this your talent 'Fear Manifestation'? You actually attacked us?! Even if the live stream here is cut off, we can still report you after we get back home!"
Yuri chuckled lightly: "You're so naive. Do you really think... you can still go back to the Iron Tower Kingdom?"
