Chapter 215: Feelings Are Just Having Real Skills Yourself!

Those family Cultivators from the Outer Sect of the Immortal Sect who were kneeling on the wet floor of the harbor.

Sensing the aura of that Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator in the sky, they all lowered their heads in fear and trepidation, not daring to move.

They would never have imagined that the Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator in the sky was actually the one with the worst grades in their same cohort...

"Everyone get up; this stretch of sea is no longer safe."

"Leave quickly!"

Su Ping shook his head, having no intention of catching up with old acquaintances or showing off.

After confirming that there was no immediate crisis on the sea surface, he turned and headed to Xuangui Island.

On Xuangui Island, Su Ping could not find peace while fishing this time either.

Perhaps because Xuangui Island was already in the deep sea region, sea monsters appeared from time to time while he was fishing.

Although most only had the strength of the Qi Refining stage.

They could be easily dealt with by relying on Da Hei.

It still made Su Ping feel vigilant in his heart.

If the level of danger continued to escalate.

Could it be that he would have to give up this fishing spot on Xuangui Island?

Su Ping had considered whether he should set up an Array on Xuangui Island.

But he quickly abandoned this idea.

Xuangui Island itself had no secrets, the Spirit Vein had long since disappeared, and no Secret Realm had emerged in the vicinity.

As long as there was no fisherman like Su Ping fishing there, whether it was sea monsters or evil Cultivators, they wouldn't take a second look even if they happened to pass by.

But if Su Ping set up an Array, wouldn't that make Xuangui Island a firefly in the dark?

If those passing Avatars of evil gods were to act on a whim and slap it down with one palm... that would be a sight too beautiful to look at.

【Fishing attempts have been exhausted, please come back next time!】

Having spent the night fishing until all accumulated attempts were used up, the second Su Ping saw the message appear, he vanished directly from the Cultivation World and returned to Water Blue Star.

Water Blue Star, Flower Flag Country.

Xin Yue Ke Shi, one of the top metropolises.

With environmental deterioration and social development, more and more people were flocking here to seek opportunities and a living.

So much so that the registered population gathered here had already exceeded thirty million.

And you could find traces of almost every race on the entire Water Blue Star in this great metropolis.

The Huanxing Qu of Xin Yue Ke Shi, which was neither good nor bad.

The church of the Holy Church was the most important backbone and stabilizer of this community.

Every week, the church organized believers to distribute food together and provided some basic help to those in need.

At the same time, under the leadership of the priest, and in order to ensure that the value of the community would not decrease, the residents contributed money and effort to support the establishment of a patrol team to maintain Order within the district.

These measures reduced the local crime rate and allowed the authority of the church to continue.

Father Wei Ke Tu had been rooted in this community for nearly thirty years.

Satisfied with everything and enjoying his life so much that he forgot about home, he had even declined the recall inquiry from the Holy City a few years ago.

Of course, Father Wei Ke Tu was certainly feeling some regret recently.

Had he known that returning to the Holy City would provide an opportunity to learn extraordinary knowledge.

How could he have been reluctant to leave this church?

Especially since these past two days, as the most outstanding church in Xin Yue Ke Shi, they had received praise from the Holy City.

Then, after replacing the silver cross on top of the building that was said to have a hundred-year history.

Two black gargoyle statues, about one and a half meters tall, were escorted by special personnel and then installed on both sides of the entrance to this Huanxing Qu church.

Like two gatekeeper gods, they watched over the perimeter of the church.

If they were just ordinary statues, that would be one thing.

But Father Wei Ke Tu was clear that these two statues were real, moving gargoyles!

They had the ability of Punishing Evil and Warding Off Evil.

They had recently started being distributed, as it was said that the great Crown had received a revelation that perhaps demons were planning something.

So they were hurriedly distributed to various places to serve as strongholds for local churches to detect abnormalities at the first opportunity.

"Father, the Anderson family is having a haunting again!"

Father Wei Ke Tu got up early this morning, intending to go to the entrance to distribute food as usual, and by the way, use his rich experience as a priest to provide psychological counseling to some people.

He heard his assistant shout from the doorway with a hint of nervousness.

"Haunted again?"

Father Wei Ke Tu frowned slightly, his head starting to ache a little.

This was one of the side effects brought about by the frequent occurrence of extraordinary events, which had made them, these Holy Church priests, famous.

For the residents in these priests' jurisdictions, things like hauntings and demonic possessions also occurred frequently.

It was just that after the priests held their noses and went to deal with it, they often found that the other party was most likely just suffering from a headache or fever.

Most would recover without medicine after drinking holy water containing painkillers for a day or two.

The very few serious cases were mostly mental illnesses; if they refused to go to a mental hospital, it was best to stay at home and recuperate.

The Anderson family was a family in the community with a mentally ill person.

It was just that the parents of this family didn't seem to believe their son was mentally ill, insisting that he was possessed by a demon.

After extraordinary events broke out across the entire Water Blue Star, they spoke about this matter with much more conviction.

Even Father Wei Ke Tu was a little unsure at first.

It was just as the gargoyles arrived.

After he and his assistant brought the other party before the gargoyles.

And confirmed that the gargoyles didn't even have the interest to glance at this chubby boy.

He became convinced that this chubby boy's matter was not under the jurisdiction of the Holy Lord.

"It seems it's not that little An De Sen, but a relative they took in."

"A relative?"

"They've accepted someone from the outside?"

"Yes, but it was reported."

The assistant nodded, picked up their phone to check, and then whispered.

"Alright."

Father Wei Ke Tu muttered, and after dressing neatly, he thought for a moment and still brought a few bottles of holy water with him.

Although he had known for a long time that the holy water they made themselves through prayer only had a psychological effect.

But it had to be said that humans are magical creatures, and psychological effects can sometimes play a great role.

He drove to the An De Sen family's home.

Just as they got out of the car, Father Wei Ke Tu and his group heard a burst of ghostly wailing and howling.

Then they walked into the house and saw a black-skinned man tied to a bed.

This man kept twisting his body, his mouth opening and closing, and black blood flowed from his eyes.

Father Wei Ke Tu looked at the An De Sen family, whose skin was only brown.

Then he looked at that black-skinned man:

"This is your... relative?"

Old An De Sen awkwardly revealed his white teeth in a smile, then nodded slightly.

This person was a relative of Old An De Sen's boss, who needed a place to stay for a while due to some matters.

Because the pay was truly too much, Old An De Sen could only acknowledge this relative.

Father Wei Ke Tu walked into the room.

He immediately felt the light around him seem to distort.

Around the person tied to the bed, there seemed to be thick darkness flowing?

He wanted to look closely, but the more he looked, the blurrier it became.

And... the room's temperature was also constantly dropping.

Goosebumps rose on Father Wei Ke Tu's skin.

But he was still not quite sure if the other party was truly haunted, so he picked up the cross on his chest and watched while chanting:

"In the name of the Holy Lord, all Evil shall retreat!"

"Evil, retreat!"

After shouting a few times and seeing no reaction, he took out the bottle containing holy water, emphasized that the bottle contained holy water blessed by the Holy Lord, and poured it all over the other party.

That black man had no reaction at all, still constantly shaking his head and opening his mouth to hiss.

This reaction actually confirmed to Father Wei Ke Tu that this guy was at least not a believer suffering from hysteria.

If it were a believer who self-imagined they were possessed, upon hearing that the bottle contained holy water, regardless of whether the holy water in the bottle was real, they would let out screams as if they had been splashed with sulfuric acid.

At this time, if an experienced priest took the opportunity to give them a beating, there was a high probability that the other party's hysteria could be cured.

Father Wei Ke Tu felt a bit of regret that he couldn't encounter such a good opportunity to show off his divine power.

After confirming that this was not a matter his holy water could handle.

Father Wei Ke Tu decided to work with the An De Sen family to carry this person out, bed and all.

Then he called over a few residents who were watching the show outside the yard to help.

The group transported that strange man to the church.

Because today happened to be the day for distributing free food, quite a few people had gathered near the church.

Besides those from the Huanxing Qu, there were even more residents and even homeless people who had run over from other districts.

They all discovered this anomaly, and upon seeing the patient being carried down from a small truck, they all let out a burst of exclamations.

A student was stunned for a moment:

"My classmate seems to have posted a similar video; it seems the hospital has also received several such strange people!"

"I know, that must mean the end of the world is coming!"

"Zombies! This must be the omen before the zombie apocalypse appears! Brothers, can you lend me money so I can hoard food and medicine?"

Hearing this, several of that student's cronies immediately started shouting.

Before a few adults who couldn't bear to watch could scold them.

The loud noise emitted by the two gargoyles in front of the church suddenly made the whole scene quiet down.

Everyone looked with awe at the gargoyles that had emitted the loud noise and begun to move.

These two gargoyles spread their wings, and their eyes emitted red light that shone onto the patient who had gotten out of the car.

It was truly magical.

Accompanied by the gargoyles hissing at them.

The patient, who had been screaming unconsciously, suddenly had their body stiffen.

Then, a burst of black energy emerged from the patient's body, and then quickly turned into a stream of black energy that merged into the gargoyles' bodies.

Everyone saw that the patient seemed to calm down.

"Did the gargoyles suck away the possessing demon?"

Old An De Sen saw the gargoyles swallow the black Qi and return to their original positions, only then daring to ask.

Father Wei Ke Tu fell silent, thinking of the Exorcism Secret Record issued by the Holy City a week ago.

He took a deep breath, walked up to the patient, and his expression changed slightly after looking into the other person's eyes.

This person's pupils were pitch black.

Whether in the Exorcism Secret Record or in various long-standing classic exorcism texts, this was the standard sign of being invaded by Evil!

And... a normal person would never have such symptoms appear.

How could anyone have their whites completely covered by a layer of thick, seemingly flowing blackness?

"Send them into the church!"

Father Wei Ke Tu immediately made a decision:

"Under the Holy Lord's Yuanling, they will surely be fine!"

He instructed the An De Sen family and the assistants to help push the now-calm patient into the church.

Seeing that the gargoyles seemed to have no objection to this.

Father Wei Ke Tu was just about to heave a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, a vehicle from the Flower Flag Country security department appeared at the church entrance.

Immediately, two capable agents stepped out of the car and hurried toward Father Wei Ke Tu.

After showing their credentials, the two agents stated their request.

It was surprisingly a hope that Father Wei Ke Tu could go to Xin Yue Ke Yi Yuan to help look at the patients there.

Father Wei Ke Tu originally wanted to say that he, a priest, really did not know how to treat illnesses.

After seeing the content on the screen handed to him.

He gasped:

"Holy Lord above, how can there be so many patients invaded by Evil!"

After experiencing the morning's events, Father Wei Ke Tu had completely accepted the Holy City's revised version of the Exorcism Secret Record.

He no longer doubted that the television station was acting, but that something major had truly happened in the city.

He swallowed hard, not daring to go to that hospital to die.

After finding an excuse that he needed to prepare, he trotted into the church, intending to close the doors and not come out, hoping these agents would seek someone more capable.

However... Father Wei Ke Tu saw his assistant bringing over a phone, and thinking of something, his face turned pale.

Ultimately unable to let go of his current status and position, he took the phone and nodded with a bitter smile.

But not long after, this Father Wei Ke Tu let out an 'eh' sound, his face lighting up with joy:

"Really?"

"Saintess Teresa, will you personally descend upon this land of Chaos to bring us blessings?"

"Holy Lord, I am willing to recite your name on earth, may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven..."

Having learned that the Holy City had not abandoned them and that the Saintess chosen by the angels would arrive soon.

And that His Holiness also had a method to alleviate the Evil invasion incidents recently erupting in Ouluoba, the Flower Flag Country, and other places.

After finishing the call, Father Wei Ke Tu changed his expression, stepped out in solemn, formal attire, and nodded with a smile at the two agents:

"Kept you waiting, let's go!"

The agents were slightly startled and hurriedly nodded.

The residents cleared a path one after another, watching Father Wei Ke Tu leave.

Then they turned their gazes back to the two gargoyles that had just truly moved instead of being mere decorations.

After whispering a few prayers, many people made up their minds that they must come to attend the next service.

Even if there were no seats inside, they would stand in the garden next to it to experience the sense of participation.

Xin Yue Ke Yi Yuan.

A separate building had been set aside to house these suddenly erupted special patients.

Several prestigious doctors were analyzing the situation with the investigators who held the power.

They already knew that the ones who first erupted with these strange symptoms were prisoners in the maximum-security prison.

It then spread to the entire city.

What is currently known is that most patients' symptoms appear very similar to demonic possession in novels and movies.

And they have a certain degree of aggression.

This also made many young people worry that they had encountered a zombie-like crisis.

Of course, if it were really just zombies, those present would actually be less panicked.

Whether it be offense or defense, humanity has mastered many ways to deal with zombies that can be killed by bullets.

"Most of them spend half their day in a state of madness, and the other half recovering to normal, but they are extremely weak."

"There is no distinction of age or gender for those who show symptoms..."

"If we must say there is a common point, perhaps it is that a large portion of them have verifiable records?"

"By the way, a large proportion of them especially used spiritual drugs frequently."

Saying this, a doctor pushed up the expensive gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said:

"Some experts in mysticism believe that this is because these people's rationality has declined due to long-term indulgence, making it easier for their souls to be invaded by Evil."

Because the mystical had long since manifested.

These doctors and experts alike did not actually hold books and shout that it was impossible, but instead accepted the new worldview.

And they never gave up on using scientific and systematic methods to research it.

It is just a pity that Water Blue Star has no Spirit Qi.

Their research was just like physics in the Three-Body world encountering a Sophon.

At present, it is still in a state of seemingly knowing something, yet seemingly knowing nothing at all.

"The priests from each district and those psychics have all been invited!"

Before long, in the investigator's office, everyone looked at the large screen that had been split into dozens of small screens.

Including Father Wei Ke Tu, dozens of priests and psychics invited in by the agents entered the hospital's main entrance, looking somewhat uneasy.

Unlike the priests in formal attire.

The men and women who called themselves psychics were dressed in all sorts of strange costumes.

Added to that were exaggerated hairstyles and various types of makeup.

It actually wouldn't be much of a problem to drag them off to compete in a masquerade ball.

It's just that these people are a type of "old wine in a new bottle" profession active all over Flower Flag Country, and they can truly make big money.

The psychics have a wide range of services, from finding lost kittens and puppies, to helping retrieve memories of past lives, and even to curing terminal illnesses and bringing the dead back to life.

It seems there is nothing in this world they cannot do.

However, as soon as these psychics entered the scene.

Before they even had a chance to perform a Flower Flag version of a shamanistic dance.

An accident happened immediately.

Visible black Qi surged out from several hospital rooms, and then, with lightning speed, submerged into the bodies of the few psychics walking at the very front.

These psychics immediately collapsed onto the cold floor of the hospital lobby, performing a zombie dance for everyone that was stunning enough to shock the whole room.

In the surveillance room, an expert's eyes lit up:

"Quite a few psychics use psychoactive drugs; check it out, I estimate the few who collapsed are definitely heavy users!"

In the hospital lobby, everyone, including the agents, retreated one after another.

Those few agents, even more so, pulled out their pistols while retreating.

Just waiting to habitually empty their magazines at the first sign of trouble.

Only one elderly priest instead stepped forward, holding up the silver coin in his hand and shouting a Prayer at the psychics on the ground.

Father Wei Ke Tu had originally thought he had met a peer, but he hadn't expected the other party to actually be a heretic.

Seeing those few psychics who had collapsed and couldn't get up arch their backs, seemingly about to crawl toward that old priest.

Father Wei Ke Tu sighed in his heart and stepped forward to come to the old priest's side.

Then he held high the pendant on his chest.

He shouted the name of an angel from his mouth.

Instantly!

Just like the red light shroud effect of a gargoyle.

The few crawling psychics' eyes widened, and their bodies stiffened and stopped.

Immediately, black Qi emerged from their ears, noses, and mouths, and dissipated.

It was just that their eyes remained pitch black, and they fainted on the ground.

They became the newest patients in the hospital.

Father Wei Ke Tu sighed, then immediately sensed that everyone around him seemed to be staring at him with complex emotions.

The corners of Father Wei Ke Tu's mouth twitched.

He also realized in an instant.

So in the vast Xin Yue Ke Shi.

He was the only half-real one!
