Ji Chuan returned to the shrine and looked at the citizens who were still kneeling around him in a daze, as if he had returned to the time when he stepped into the starry door.
He suddenly thought of something and came to the rescued boy. "How did you get those injuries? Where were you before?"
All the children imprisoned in the church had been released by me, so what happened to this child?
"I was taken away by the Pope before, and I was looking for a chance to escape in the church. I sneaked out late at night when the guards were changing shifts. I didn't know the way, so I groped around. While avoiding the patrol, I entered a room. That room was very strange. After entering, I never found the exit until I was rescued by you. Thank you, Lord God of Faith, for saving my life."
A room with no exit? Ji Chuan narrowed his eyes. Is there any secret in the church? Is it just important? It doesn't seem strange that the Pope built some secret rooms.
"Is there anyone else in that room?"
"Without the adults, I am alone. The room is very dark, and I can't see what's inside..."
The boy's expression suddenly turned painful. "Child? What's wrong?" The mother beside him was a little anxious. "Lord God of Faith, what's wrong with my child? Please save him!"
Ji Chuan frowned. He had clearly used the Holy Healing Spirit on him, so all the illnesses and wounds in his body should have been healed. Why was he still in pain?
He felt that the life of the young man in front of him was quickly slipping away, as if he was attacked by a dark shadow, but he didn't see any dark shadow at the moment. How could this be?
Ji Chuan quickly released the Holy Healing Spiritual Radiance but it had no effect and the young man died in front of everyone.
"My child! My child! Don't scare your mother. Wake up!"
The residents who were still kneeling around looked at each other in bewilderment. How did this child die? Why didn't the God of Faith in front of them save him?
The woman didn't care about etiquette. She crawled to Ji Chuan's legs and pulled Ji Chuan's calves, "Lord God of Faith, why don't you save my child? He is still so young!"
Ji Chuan realized that the power of faith provided by the people around him had disappeared. "I'm sorry I didn't save your child. I will investigate this matter thoroughly."
Ji Chuan's figure disappeared, leaving the residents present looking at each other in bewilderment. How could the God of Faith who worked miracles not be able to save a child?
The woman's crying was so loud that it attracted many residents to stop and comment on it.
Providing assistance in an emergency will be remembered, but long-term help will make some people feel that everything is taken for granted. The death of this child has caused some people to question the God of faith.
"What kind of god is he if he can't even save a child? I think he did it on purpose. You didn't give the god money, did you?"
"The God of Faith is not such a God. Don't insult the God of Faith! This must be an accident. The injuries on this child have just been healed for all to see!"
"How do you know it's really cured? Will the child die if he's cured? I think it might just be a trick. Isn't it the same in the future if you don't pay money and don't save people?"
"Without the God of Faith, this city would have been destroyed the day the goblins attacked it! How can you say such a thing!"
"The goblins now believe in him too. How can you be sure that he is not in league with the goblins?"
The debate in the square continued. A hooded man in the crowd covered his entire head in his robe, and a smile appeared on his face.
"The God of Faith... Only those who have believers are gods. I will destroy the source of your faith and see who has the final say in this city."
His figure disappeared in the crowd, and several people in the city wearing the same robes began their actions.
…
Ji Chuan came to the church. He carefully felt the distribution of life forms and found no abnormalities.
He felt that there must be clues in that mysterious room. The child's death was too strange, and he was very angry that someone dared to do it in front of him, causing the citizens to doubt him.
He started from the room where the children were trapped and explored outwards, imagining the route of the escaped child, and he kept pushing the door of each room along the way.
But there was nothing unusual. If the child wanted to escape, he would not go upstairs. The strange room should be on this floor.
He walked into a room at random, "Xiao Hei."
A one-eyed demon appeared in the room, and although Ji Chuan was not sure that the demon was Xiao Hei, he was too lazy to think of any other name.
In order to avoid misunderstanding among citizens when they see him with the devil, this was Xiao Hei's first summon to be loyal to him. Xiao Hei would not be needed in most things, but he had no idea what to do at the moment.
"Are there any hidden rooms in the church? What do you think about the boy's sudden death?"
"Reporting to the master, I feel the aura of my people. These should be the work of my people."
"Then you don't know how the other party did it?"
"The demons are not a united race. We pursue strength above all else, and we all want to rule the race and the world as powerful individuals."
This is undoubtedly Xiao Hei's way of thinking. If it was the work of the devil, it would be better. As long as Ji Chuan shows up, he doesn't think that the other party can defeat him.
As long as those black shadows don't take action, everything will be fine. The last time we dealt with them was through soul absorption. I don't know if it was a coincidence after the absorption, the vortex door that opened also carried black air.
And he experienced despair and death in that door. Although he didn't feel any discomfort from absorbing those dark shadows, he always felt something was ominous.
"Can you tell how that child died?"
"Forgive my incompetence. Each demon has different methods. In order to ensure our own advantages, we will hide our methods to avoid being seen through by the enemy."
"What are your methods?"
"Parasitism. I can choose a target to parasitize, which is equivalent to possessing the other party's body and abilities. But if the target dies, I will also die, so I have been trying to find a strong person. I wanted to launch the attack on you, but I hesitated and was a step late. After entering your forbidden area, all my abilities became ineffective."
Ji Chuan was a little confused. If it was Xiao Hei normally, he thought it would be some ability to devour and grow, similar to the ability of the Zombie King.
But it is also true that the Zombie King should be an undead, and the one in front of him is a demon with strong parasitic ability, so we should find a good target for him.
"Don't you have any clues?"
"Yes, Master. I can sense the breath of my own kind. My perception is very good among my kind. I can sense the location of all races in a small area."
Ji Chuan narrowed his eyes. Wasn't this ability given to him by the Zombie King? But he really couldn't detect the devil's breath. He could only sense the location of living beings and zombies.
He had no experience with the hiding methods of some demon tribes, after all, these races did not exist in the original world.
"Master, I seem to have sensed it. I will merge into your body and guide you to find him."
