Chapter 70: Cultists must keep pace with the times

After Conis finished speaking, everyone present turned their attention to Moore.

Moore struggled with his expression and said hesitantly: "I think everyone is very nice. Everyone is very friendly."

He spoke more and more fluently, and finally said firmly: "I don't think they can be bewitched by evil gods. They are all lambs of God."

All of them, except Moore, put on masks of pain.

Big brother, now is not the time for you to reminisce about friendship and bond. We are not writing a passionate youth comic, we are solving a case! If you do this, how can we catch the traitor?

"Is there no one suspicious?" Conis asked with a frown.

Moore responded quickly this time: "No one I know of."

This guy, you say he is not good, but he is still very protective of his child. You say he is good, but in the face of major issues, he does this, isn't this just messing with people's mentality?

Anyway, Luke’s mentality was unstable at the moment, and no one knew how to persuade him, so the room fell into a dead silence.

Moore also noticed the thoughts of others. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Since there may be problems with the armed priests, we should act on our own. The scale of this cult branch is not large. Only the leader is a third-level priest. Four third-level priests are enough to crush it."

Conis subconsciously wanted to object. After all, the role of the armed priest, in addition to fighting, has another aspect that cannot be said directly, and that is to rush to the front line and clear the mines for the clergy.

However, he thought again, it was just a small branch of a cult. He had wiped out countless cults in his life. Now that he was old, he became more cautious and less courageous.

Thinking of this, he no longer worried about things like spies and traitors.

They are nothing but a bunch of maggots. What else can they do except disgust people? Just crush them.

"Then let's do as you say. The armed priests will stay in the church and conduct an internal review. They will stop all activities until the traitor is found. If any traces of the cultists are found during this period, the four of us can handle them."

Seeing their old teacher acting like a young man, Sam and another extraordinary person, Nenad, felt a little dissatisfied.

After all, without the armed priest, someone was still needed to blaze the trail. Conis and Moore were both typical spiritual growth transcendents, so they naturally couldn't lead the way. So the two [Light Chasers] had to take the lead.

However, they had been learning under Conis since they were extraordinary apprentices and had long been accustomed to following his arrangements, so they did not express any dissatisfaction and nodded in agreement.

The armed priests searched the entire apartment, but found no living creatures, except for more details of the cult's rituals.

Finally, with Conis's approval, the priests used fire to "purify" the apartment and then returned to the church together.

In a basement five kilometers away from the cult's stronghold, a red ball of flesh and an egg were beating slightly like a heart. In the middle of the egg, the cult priest in red looked towards the direction of the abandoned apartment with lingering fear.

On the screen of his mobile phone, the fire in the stronghold was burning fiercely, and the figures of extraordinary people such as Moore and Conis naturally passed by the screen.

Although the armed priests checked the activities of people and signs of sorcery inside and outside the abandoned apartment, they did not notice that facing the door of the apartment, under an inconspicuous surveillance camera, a red light spot representing operation was always on.

"Your intelligence is very accurate." He did not turn around and said to the woman behind him: "God will remember your contribution. After this great ceremony is over, I will personally hold a transformation ceremony for you and let you directly become a [Phosphorus Powder Waiter] like me." "As long as you become a [Phosphorus Powder Waiter], the thing you desire will be easily achieved."

"Go ahead and continue your mission. The preparations for the ceremony are almost complete."

The robin nodded and walked out carefully along the gap in the middle of the red egg.

"You see, he can still be trusted, and we do need his strength." The red priest said to the empty basement.

"You're right." A python-like figure slid out from the darkness. If you look closely, you can see the dense maggot legs on its abdomen. "I feel like he's very different today than before. Did he advance?"

"Yes, the next level of the Instigator is the Word Spirit Mage," the red priest's eyes flashed with fear, "and he has already broken free from the Robin Thorn."

"Robin Thorns? What are those?" the giant maggot asked in confusion, "Those thorns wrapped around his body? I thought they were some kind of quirk of his."

"It is a very special extraordinary tool, one of the masterpieces left by ancient alchemists." As the big event was approaching, the red priest was in a good mood and explained, "The user must tie it to his body from the time he becomes an extraordinary apprentice and endure the pain of the thorns at all times. This pain lasts every day and every minute until he is promoted to level 3."

"When promoted to level three, the [Robin Thorn] will automatically break apart. The power accumulated in pain will be returned to the user from the broken thorns, greatly increasing the effect of a certain extraordinary ability of the user."

"Nice props." Maggot commented.

"Oh, if only it were that simple." Red Clothes knew this extraordinary item very well. "There are quite a few [Robin Thorns] left, but most of them are collected and few people actively use them. As time goes by, these thorns will pierce deeper into the flesh and blood, causing the host exponential pain and torture."

"This kind of pain that lasts 24 hours a day and gets worse all the time is hard for even those who enjoy pain to accept."

"Then can I use it? I don't feel any pain!" said the maggot excitedly.

The red priest denied it, "Power comes from pain. Without pain, there is no power. And I just said that it must be used starting with the extraordinary apprentices!"

"Brainless thing!"

After being scolded, the maggots did not get angry. Instead, they curled their bodies into a circle and lay on the eggs made of flesh and blood like a hen incubating eggs, and fell into hibernation.

The red-robed priest turned off the video surveillance on his phone and nodded with satisfaction.

Although God's power must be used in battle to demonstrate God's majesty, these useful modern technologies are still necessary in daily life.

Monitoring is a really good thing, and Robin is a talented person.

It seems that the plan needs to be changed. Perhaps transforming him into a third-level [Worm Nest] will be more useful than directly transforming him into a giant worm to serve the gods.

As for the [Phosphorus Waiter], how is that possible? No one can threaten his leadership position in this sect, even with the slightest possibility.
