"I know you! Lin, come in and fight me one-on-one! Your demonic power may be strong, but Noren's Holy Light is not to be underestimated!"
Noren hung himself on the prison door, his arms stretching out like claws as if he wanted to strangle Lin Qi, green eyes burning as if they could shoot flames.
"......" Lin Qi turned around speechlessly, stepping aside to let Master Fuli in, too lazy to deal with the madman inside the room.
Lin Qi walked over to Li Wenkang, handed over a cigarette, and the two sat across from the cell, not bothering to say anything else.
Extracting information from fanatics through normal means is extremely difficult and sometimes requires the involvement of Vimal's people.
Their faith is extremely devout, their beliefs already transformed into a rock-solid conviction.
The more you torment these zealots, the more they enjoy it, because they believe it is penance, acting on behalf of the gods.
Now... with Master Fuli as their new object of devotion, even if he asks the impossible,
Noren's group would immediately act, even if it meant going from Siam to Korea to make a debut.
Lin Qi really didn't want to waste words on the inquisitor.
"Hey? Can you hear what I'm saying?"
Ansheng glanced at the two old men, rolled his eyes, and looked inside the cell at Noren, asking.
And as Master Fuli faced the cell and spoke, the atmosphere inside changed dramatically.
The manic expression on Noren's face froze, filled with ecstasy as he looked towards the ceiling, as if he had witnessed a miracle, and immediately dropped to one knee, clenched a fist to the ground, lowering his proud head to chant:
"Great and eternal purity, purifier of all filth, the star suspended above the inferno, we devout followers welcome your arrival, we are listening."
"We have always been praying, making every preparation for your arrival....."
Due to cognitive disorders and brain anomalies, even though Noren and the others couldn't see Master Fuli, they could hear him instantly when his divine decree echoed.
"Eep...."
Ansheng almost lost it at those words, the fox's little claws gripping the ground, taking a cold breath, the hair on his arms standing on end, feeling utterly awkward.
"Alright, stop with the weird nonsense. I'll cover your future psychology fees. Now, tell me about Gold-digging Town and that relic."
Ansheng shivered, raising a paw to smooth down the standing fur on his arms, directly asking.
"Great purity, you..." Noren, upon hearing this, tears flowed from his eyes, looking touched, as he slightly raised his head gazing towards the holy light in the starry sky:
"Yes, we will listen to your teachings, practicing selflessness, becoming the exemplary figures admired by followers and citizens alike..."
The suffering souls in Gold-digging Town, the great purity actually turned his attention to this foreign land.
Greatness needs no words, purity is too divine.
As Noren's group shouted with faces full of emotion, a golden light flashed in Ansheng's mind, and a Wish Power came in.
[Master Fuli journeyed to foreign lands, witnessing evil demons wreak havoc claiming to be masters of life, he personally intervened to educate, the path of the sage is the fox's logic, also called: the Fox's Accord.]
[Wish Power +3]
"This...." Seeing the detailed wish list, Ansheng's face was full of shock, eyes almost popping out.
No, guys...
What are you writing there? Quick, burn all the notes on the ground, don't spread them.
"The Gold-digging Town.... is very sinister, there's a purple-black monster hiding in town that can easily hunt people..."
After thanking Master Fuli for his mercy, Noren spoke heavily about what he witnessed following the priest into the town.
The Mayflower Organization had no intention to excavate, but to keep up appearances, they forcibly requisitioned local labor and equipment, intending to have the locals dig.
But strange events occurred that night.
The local aborigines dreamt of a god, guiding them to perform a sacrificial ceremony.
A purple-black tree grew, bearing black fruits on its branches. After consuming the fruits, the aborigines transformed into super warriors, clad in black armor, driving Mayflower soldiers out of town.
The inquisitors didn't stay in the city enjoying air conditioning not because they were kind or didn't exploit the populace.
They were chased out, having to camp in the wilderness eating bitter grains.
Even though they used artillery to drive the monsters back, suppressing the local resistance.
But the Mayflower Organization didn't dare to enter the city, planning to stealthily lay a trap for the Longevity Club.
The locals are quite fierce indeed.
As for the relic, it rests in the water system at the bottom of the gold mine, and to enter, they need to excavate the collapsed mining area caused by the earthquake.
The Mayflower Organization sent out exploration teams to confirm the pattern of the relic, which belongs to the [Olympus Divine Race].
Which means it's a [Second Epoch Ruin], but they haven't found the usual sign stone in front of the relic this time.
Any relic from the Second Epoch that has survived to modern times and is well-preserved is not just an ordinary building.
It could be a research institute, a prison, or the headquarters of a famous top-tier company or organization of that time.
Therefore, there should usually be a metal description plaque in front of a Second Epoch relic.
But according to Mayflower's exploration, this relic is architecturally unique, different from the signature large-ring-in-small-ring style, it's just a sphere.
The relic is a hermetically sealed sphere.
The surface of the sphere is inscribed with numerous characters of the Olympus Divine Race.
"The feeling that relic gives off is like..." Noren deliberated several times and still spoke out his conjecture:
"Imprisoning... something sealed and left there, awaiting further handling."
"Like how our sheriff catch fugitives, when overwhelmed, they use handcuffs to temporarily secure criminals by the roadside while calling for backup....."
"Second Epoch Ruin....."
After hearing Noren's description, Ansheng turned his side to glance at Lin Qi and Li Wenkang.
"Their exploration was more thorough than ours. We only caught the eyewitnesses, without conducting field investigations." Lin Qi spoke to Master Fuli.
Gold-digging Town has employees from Lin Clan International, knowing what happened after the earthquake isn't difficult.
But with a massive underground water flood, fieldwork hasn't started yet, and Mayflower attacked, both sides locked in stalemate on the battlefield, engrossed in fighting.
Noren's account aligns closely with the intelligence, it seems credible enough.
"Great purity, are you preparing to personally descend and annihilate the sins? How may we serve you....."
Seeing Lin Qi speak, Noren turned towards the direction of the divine decree, feeling a surge of jealousy, and directly requested orders from the Holy One.
"Oh God! Please allow your people, to share some of your burdens and mundane affairs!"
"For this, we are willing to give everything, leaving our lives in the Demon Lair, enacting the unfinished Fox's Accord!"
Noren kneeled on one knee, puffing out his chest, looking up at the empty ceiling, reaching out his arm.
"........"
Ansheng's mouth twitched, secretly turning to ask Lin Qi: "Old Lin... does the psychologist you recommended to Lin Ying have availability?"
"Help me get an appointment, send them all to the psychologist. This scene, is really unsettling."
