Chapter 197 Prepare to save people

Almost at the same instant, a dark green light suddenly shone from the tall and strange statue behind him.

As the light grew stronger, a dark green orb exuding an eerie aura gradually emerged.

The sphere of light seemed to have a life of its own, slowly rotating in the air and gradually approaching the high priest.

When the ball of light finally touched the high priest's body, there was no sound, but everyone present could clearly feel a surge of powerful energy.

The dark green orb of light entered the high priest's body without any hindrance and merged with him.

The next moment, radiant halos began to emanate outwards from the high priest's body.

These halos, layered upon each other, form a magnificent array of light. Each halo shimmers with unique light and runes, intertwining and merging to create a breathtaking and mysterious spectacle.

"Wow~"

A gasp went up from the crowd below, and then the prospective believers, and even the surrounding believers, knelt down and prostrated themselves on the ground in worship.

As the dazzling light gradually faded, the high priest, with a joyful expression, loudly announced to the crowd that the sacrifice had been successfully completed.

He then methodically directed his followers to distribute the supposedly blessed food. However, only a few knew that this seemingly ordinary food had actually been corrupted by a mysterious force—the originally snow-white honey had been transformed into a bizarre black by someone unknown.

Everyone present was overjoyed to receive a sumptuous meal, and to their delight, each person also received an extra cup of fragrant milk tea. They eagerly began to savor this rare delicacy.

Just as everyone was immersed in the satisfaction brought by the delicious food, a strong green light suddenly burst forth from the underground space that had been hidden by bright lights.

In an instant, the once calm ground seemed to be shattered, and countless streams of dark green silt gushed out like spring water.

They spread rapidly at an alarming rate and, as if alive, burrowed straight into the bodies of the nearest people.

Upon seeing this, screams of terror erupted from the crowd. Some tried to struggle, but found themselves unable to move, as if nailed to the ground.

Because Er had replaced the green light with his own power, Lin Xiyue and the others were safe in this area. In fact, because it was a replacement and a deception, no green sludge invaded their place.

Of course, since they knew what was in the food, no one ate it and secretly threw it into Earl's space.

Just then, Lin Xiyue's gaze was suddenly drawn to a scene not far away.

A little girl, who was closely following her mother, suddenly began to tremble violently without warning! She swayed precariously like a leaf in a storm.

Even more chillingly, it seemed that countless writhing worms were hiding beneath the little girl's skin, crawling and scurrying freely inside her body.

In an instant, the little girl's originally clear and bright eyes suddenly turned pitch black, deep and terrifying.

At the same time, her cherry-like mouth opened to an incredible degree, and a sharp, piercing scream burst forth from deep within her throat.

The sound was like the roar of a demon from the depths of hell, piercing the eardrums and sending chills down one's spine.

Almost at the same time, other people around them also underwent the same terrible changes one after another.

Some people were convulsing uncontrollably, some had their faces contorted in agony, and others were spewing black smoke from their mouths... In the blink of an eye, the entire scene descended into chaos.

Those who were still relatively normal were terrified and tried to escape this nightmarish scene.

They ran frantically toward the exit, but the followers who had been silently standing at the edge of the field quickly grabbed them one by one and threw them back into the center of the field without mercy.

For a moment, the entire venue resembled a living hell.

"What?! What do we do now?!?!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ"

Lin Xiyue was stunned by what she saw. She turned to look at Earl and Lingyan, and asked them, somewhat at a loss.

“Okay, let’s move now. You go with Meros and knock these mutated people unconscious. Earl and I will take control of the high priests and bishops. I’ve already sent a message, and the people from the Psionic Center will be here to help soon.”

Seeing Lin Xiyue's eagerness to help, Ling Yan asked her to help control the civilians. He planned to go with Earl to capture the strange high priest and the other high-ranking officials.

"it is good."

"OK, no problem."

Lin Xiyue and Earl both agreed.

Earl and Lingyan slowly crept towards the high priest, who was floating in mid-air, smiling as he looked down at the demonic scene below.

They planned to control him, and it would be even better if they could control him without him noticing.

After Earl and Lingyan went to prepare for the ambush on the High Priest, Lin Xiyue also carried Moros to the side.

She searched and picked through her own space, but couldn't find anything that was handy and convenient to use to knock someone out.

[Hehehe, now you need me, right! Let me tell you, you can use a Life Card, it's still available in the limited-time shop, and I'll give you a discount. You only need 500 Energy Coins to buy one Life Card! How about that, pretty good deal, right? (*^▽^*)]

At this moment, the system popped up.

"??!!!"

"You scared me to death! Why did you suddenly come out?"

Lin Xiyue was genuinely startled, and she couldn't help but pat her chest.

[How dare you say that to me?! What have you been doing with that guy named Meros these past two nights? Huh?! (▼へ▼メ) I've been blocked for two nights!!! Ugh, do you know what it feels like to be in a dark room? And you didn't even tell me beforehand, I was suddenly locked out! I'm so wronged!!! e(┬┬﹏┬┬)3]

Upon hearing Lin Xiyue ask this, the system suddenly burst out with a barrage of complaints and grievances, making Lin Xiyue feel terrible.

"you you you!!!"

?(? ???w??? ?)?

e＝e＝e＝(＞д＜)?

Lin Xiyue couldn't even think about saving people anymore; instead, she wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground so no one could see her.

Why do you care so much? →_→ Besides, you haven't accomplished anything.

Meros suddenly interrupted, his words revealing his dissatisfaction.
