Listening to Doctor Lu's popularization of benefits, Yuan Zhu increasingly felt that the 'Reverse Pinduoduo Amateur Sacrifice Convention' was even more valuable than he initially thought.
Even employees of top-tier legal major religions have to stop patients in hospitals to chat and solicit business, delaying treatment.
So, it seems reasonable that a group of illegal, 18th-tier small Evil Gods would fight tooth and nail to respond to an amateur sacrifice full of mistakes. In this world, not only mortals are hustling, but the divine realm is even more competitive.
After saying a bunch of words, Doctor Lu took a big breath, drank the tea in his hand, and showed a satisfied expression: "What do you think?"
Yuan Zhu: "I think it's not bad, but I need to consider how to specifically modify my beliefs. Anyway, I just need to submit it before the end of the year."
Doctor Lu: "Make a decision early, act early, and enjoy early. Believing in the Holy Church is definitely not a loss. We are a global top-tier orthodox religion with many internal factions, there's always one that suits you. Okay, I see you don't seem interested in these, so let's get straight to the point and accept the Holy Light's examination! Many loyal believers have personally experienced it once before changing their original thoughts and deciding to embrace the Holy Light."
Yuan Zhu felt that something was strange. How did it sound like this Holy Light was poisonous, with its own brainwashing effects? It made him a little scared.
Lucius stood up, came to the open space in the consulting room, and reached out to take a cage containing a large white rat from a shelf fixed to the wall. Then he signaled Yuan Zhu to stand opposite him and wait for the Holy Light to shine.
Yuan Zhu then realized that there was actually a row of cages placed on the angle iron shelf on the wall, each containing a white rat.
These rats didn't make a sound or move. They just quietly lay in the iron cages, silently watching below. Even when Lucius caught them in his hands, they didn't struggle or resist, as if they were stupid.
Could this also be the effect of the Holy Light? Making the rats collectively calm down, as if they had undergone a frontal lobe removal surgery? "Why are you holding a rat?" Yuan Zhu couldn't help but ask.
Lucius replied in a matter-of-fact tone: "Of course, it's the price of driving the Holy Light! The Holy Light is one of the few forces today that is globally recognized as safe, controllable, and capable of suppressing, expelling, and even completely purifying Evil Spirits and pollution."
"Among these legal systems, the Holy Light has the highest exclusivity and the purest quality. At the same time, it is the most friendly to humans and has the fewest side effects, and can even transfer the cost. And the essence of the Holy Light is to burn and dedicate oneself, use light to dispel darkness, and bring warmth to the world."
As he spoke, he took off his right glove, revealing his finger with a small half of the joint cut off.
The first joint of his right index finger now only had half a nail left. The cross-section of the finger revealed a stubble of pale white bone. The flesh wound around the bone looked like a lit cigarette butt, with dark red sparks and flesh hidden in the charred black, looking like it could reignite at any time.
Yuan Zhu suddenly widened his eyes. Was this still a human finger? Or a fleshy cigarette butt? Why was Doctor Lu's expression so calm? Didn't he feel the pain?
Just the sight of the finger's cross-section being burned to a crisp, charred black, made his scalp tingle involuntarily. He couldn't imagine how painful this was. The moment Lucius took off his glove, the Blank Immortal Scripture also howled, beeping non-stop. Obviously, another source of pollution had appeared! "Surprised? This is the fire of the Holy Light. Didn't I say that the essence of the Holy Light is to burn and dedicate oneself, use light to dispel darkness, and bring warmth to the world. And this, is burning oneself."
As he spoke, he shook his severed index finger at Yuan Zhu.
As the fingertip moved faster in the air, the charred cross-section came into contact with more air, and the hidden sparks of light became brighter.
Good heavens, so it really was 'ignition' in the literal sense? After briefly showing off his unique index finger, he said to Yuan Zhu: "Stand there and don't move, don't panic, just wait. Everything you see next is normal."
He saw him clench the white rat that had given up struggling in his right hand, exerting force with all five fingers, especially the severed index finger, which pressed the cross-section against the rat's chest.
The charred, sparking severed finger pressed hard against the rat's chest, burning the white fur with a sizzling sound. As the pressure from the fingertip increased, the numb white rat twitched in pain. Out of biological instinct, it struggled and resisted, and its mouth let out a sharp, shrill cry.
Lucius's index finger sank deeper and deeper, directly piercing into the rat's body. A burst of high temperature erupted from the fingertip, followed by the spread of milky white light. It was like turning on the flashlight mode on a phone, but with the index finger pressing down, a small amount of white Holy Light escaped from the cracks in the wound, but more light continued to gather inside the rat's body, roasting its internal organs.
At this moment, the rat transformed into light, illuminating the world!
Well, in Yuan Zhu's view, the rat's internal organs, entire body of flesh and blood, soul, and even life force, all became fuel for converting Holy Light.
An unspeakable mystical reaction erupted in its body. The rat's brain might have burned out in an instant, but its body trembled frantically in Doctor Lu's hands like it was possessed by a demon.
In the end, the high-energy reaction gathered in its body took its eyes as pressure relief points, and white Holy Light as its form, frantically venting and shining outwards.
He saw Lucius holding the Light Rat, with a solemn expression, constantly chanting, and raised his right hand to point the rat's head at Yuan Zhu, squeezing it hard. The rat, convulsing frantically and struggling madly, immediately widened its eyes in a desperate wail, and shot two beams of Holy Light at Yuan Zhu like searchlights.
Lucius kept chanting scalp-numbing incantations, while drawing an equilateral triangle circumscribed by a circle with his left hand, and shaking his right hand, using the Light Rat Handheld Biological Holy Light Lighting Tube to shine on Yuan Zhu from head to toe, and circling around him.
Scan the front once, scan the side once, and then scan the back again, over and over again... until the rat's life and soul were squeezed out by the Holy Light, and it couldn't even struggle or twitch in the end, turning into a shriveled rat skin with a burnt smell, only then did this long and agonizing minute and a half end.
It was too damn hopeless!
Just seeing the Light Rat's crazy and desperate post-mortem twitching performance was enough to imagine the pain and torment of sacrificing oneself for the Holy Light.
This was the globally recognized legal, just, safe, and efficient white-path extraordinary power for exorcising demons? And it was being performed impromptu in a hospital, had they considered the attitude of animal protection organizations? Apart from the rat, whose brain was burned through immediately, Yuan Zhu himself also felt the torment.
When the milky white divine light hit the surface of his body for the first time, the Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture, as expected, began to scream and warn.
This time, the mental pollution and erosion he suffered was unprecedentedly strong. Every moment, it was refreshing back and forth between -2 and -3. Fortunately, it didn't exceed the upper limit of his passive defense. Although the mental channel was tense, it was still shielded and blocked by him.
His body had not been eroded and transformed by the Holy Light, but his mind was very tense.
He now had two conclusions: First, the Immortal Scripture, this spy plug-in, because of its incompatibility, regarded all non-Immortal Dao Universe power systems as toxic substances that pollute the soul.
Therefore, it blindly and brainlessly rejected all unfamiliar external forces except Shadow. Even the publicly recognized safe white-path Holy Light was screaming and warning like it was killing a chicken.
The second possibility was that although the Holy Light of this world was touted as a global top-tier orthodox religion, the safest and most harmonious extraordinary system, the most friendly to humans, burning oneself to illuminate others... blah blah.
But its essence was equally evil and filthy, an evil force disguised as a 'holy (light)' facade. And the Immortal Scripture's fairy-like screams and warnings were indeed protecting itself from external pollution.
Yuan Zhu also couldn't determine which guess was correct, but the scene of Doctor Lu igniting the rat to illuminate himself and using Holy Light to disinfect back and forth was indeed chilling. Recalling it now, it still lowers his Sanity a bit.
The screaming, struggling corpse, the surging Holy Light, the rapidly shriveling rat skin, the shockwave of warm soul light. The rat used everything it had to illuminate Yuan Zhu in the darkness, illuminating a mysterious corner of this strange world.
After ending all of this, Lucius threw the shriveled rat skin into the trash can, put his gloves back on, and sat back in his chair, looking at Yuan Zhu, who was still savoring the experience (or rather, still in shock).
The row of surviving rats on the wall shelf were also bathed in the Holy Light that had just dissipated. At this moment, they were all dull and numb, unmoved, looking like they were brainwashed and ready to dedicate themselves to the Holy Light at any moment.
"How do you feel?"
Yuan Zhu felt extremely terrified, but he didn't say it, casually making up something: "Much more relaxed and comfortable, like a heavy burden has been lifted."
"That's normal. After bathing in it a few more times, you'll fall in love with this warm soul feeling."
Oh? So, you guys use Holy Light to create this kind of brainwashing feeling? I want to try it too.
