Eerie Gods Card Master: Starting With Myriad Ghosts Night Parade

Lin Chen was content with quietly striking it rich. After all, he'd already reaped the biggest rewards. He'd even scraped off a layer of plaster from the bar walls to use as building materials for his cards, so he was satisfied.

After confirming his story with Chen Xiao Diao, he remembered to cancel the scheduled alarm email. The two then prepared to leave.

It was already dark, and the sky was extremely overcast.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Chen stepped outside, he saw three or four Card Masters in Security Bureau uniforms had cordoned off and surrounded the entrance to the bar.

The leading Card Master, upon seeing the two emerge, immediately took out a card and activated its flashlight.

A strong beam of light pointed at Lin Chen as he said:

"Don't move! You are suspected of involvement in a major heretical cult incident!

Cooperate by reporting your identity information!

Otherwise, you will all be treated as cultists!"

Chapter 45: Your Excellency Bishop, I Don't Want to Work Hard Anymore!

Being illuminated by a powerful flashlight and pointed at by a card was an uncomfortable experience for anyone.

"Quickly report your identity information!" the leading Security Bureau Card Master shouted.

Lin Chen wasn't one to be pushed around. He immediately pulled out of his pocket—

A "For Bravery in Action" medal officially awarded to him.

Instantly, the atmosphere in the area eased, and then became a bit awkward.

The Security Bureau Card Master had almost thought Lin Chen was going to pull out a card to attack them.

The Card Master softened his tone, but still held his card, maintaining a degree of caution, and asked:

"Oh, are you a Card Master who has cooperated with us before? What are you doing here?"

Then, Chen Xiao Diao squeezed out from behind Lin Chen and said, "They're our people! I'm Chen Xiao Diao from Patrol Team One!"

It turned out Chen Xiao Diao was too short and had been blocked by Lin Chen before they came out, so the Security Bureau Card Masters blocking the entrance hadn't recognized her.

Seeing familiar colleagues, these Card Masters relaxed and tossed over two sanity detectors.

"Let's just go through the process, okay? Test your sanity."

The tests were completed quickly, and both were within the normal range, though Chen Xiao Diao's was slightly lower.

Only then did the few of them fully relax and begin to communicate.

It turned out they were colleagues from the Department of Supernatural Affairs. Earlier, when they had tried calling Chen Xiao Diao's communication bracelet, they had heard Lin Chen's unfamiliar male voice.

Combined with the fact that the wine they were testing had mutated, they suspected Chen Xiao Diao had fallen into an eerie incident.

They had investigated the source of the wine all the way until they discovered it was the Amber Bar.

They had called a few colleagues over to seal off the bar and block the entrance.

Just as they were about to go inside to investigate, they saw Chen Xiao Diao safe and sound, which put them at ease.

However, when they heard Chen Xiao Diao say that a Blood Sacrifice Ritual had just concluded inside, the Card Masters gasped again.

When Chen Xiao Diao added that an Evil God's Progeny had been born inside, their jaws dropped even further. Were Evil Gods running rampant these days?

"So, after experiencing all of that, how did you two manage to get out alive?"

Chen Xiao Diao blushed, and Lin Chen quickly nudged her.

She could only recount everything according to Lin Chen's story, reluctantly taking all the credit herself.

"It's a bit unbelievable, but if Lu Zhishen had slammed the Evil God egg to the ground, it would make sense."

The Card Master colleagues expressed their approval of Lu Zhishen.

"And who is this?"

The Card Master colleagues looked at Lin Chen again.

Lin Chen waved his hand. "I'm just an ordinary Card Master who helped Xiao Diao make a card once. I was just passing by with her to buy materials, who knew we'd run into such a strange incident!"

His tone was sincere, and his expression was genuine, as if he were just a passerby who had stumbled into a crime scene.

Upon hearing that Lin Chen was the one who made cards for Chen Xiao Diao, the Security Bureau Card Masters immediately showed great respect and insisted on exchanging contact information!

Lin Chen was puzzled. When had he become so famous?

Chen Xiao Diao chuckled and pointed at the Lu Zhishen card.

Lin Chen suddenly realized. It turned out he was the one who made the infamous Lu Zhishen for Chen Xiao Diao, which was why these card masters knew she had a powerful Card Master backing her.

In this era, there were plenty of combat card masters, but powerful Card Masters were extremely rare.

Furthermore, while there were many Card Masters, only one in a hundred could craft cards using eerie objects!

According to protocol, after a major heretical cult contamination incident, one had to visit the Security Bureau for a thorough purification check.

Even after passing the check, a seven-day home quarantine was still required.

Lin Chen hesitated slightly. Was he going to end up in the Security Bureau this early?

But it wouldn't hurt to go. He hadn't been inside the Security Bureau before.

Just as the group was about to leave, the wristbands of several Security Bureau card masters suddenly beeped!

After checking the messages, their expressions changed drastically!

Lin Chen didn't even have time to ask what happened.

Chen Xiao Diao had already exclaimed, "Deep Blue Level Crisis Event! An emergency ghost tide has erupted in the Binjiang waters, and thousands of walking corpses and drowned ghosts are storming ashore!"

The leading card master said, "All Patrol Team members report for duty! All nearby card masters of Junior level and above are conscripted! No exceptions, drop whatever you're doing and head to the Binjiang waters immediately!

We can't accompany you back to the Security Bureau. We need to head to the front lines to provide support!"

Chen Xiao Diao jumped up. "I'm going too! I'm part of the Patrol Team!"

The card master frowned. "Don't cause trouble. Miss, you should go rest and recover your strength first!"

Then, they all sped off towards the Binjiang waters, leaving only a parting message:

"We've approved your request. Go to the Church of Light for purification! The Security Bureau is short-handed and can't handle you right now!"

"What do we do now?" Chen Xiao Diao asked.

Lin Chen replied, "Follow the procedure and take orders. Let's go to the Church of Light. But when your Security Bureau is short-staffed, can you outsource work to the Church of Light?"

Chen Xiao Diao said, "Yeah, after all, they're one of the few Benevolent God churches. They've been cooperating with the Security Bureau for a long time, and many card masters in the bureau are church members!"

While idly chatting about gossip, the two arrived at the H City Church of Light Cathedral.

It was a massive, sacred, Roman-style dome cathedral, exuding an aura of peace and purity.

This was Lin Chen's first time visiting a religious hall in this world.

They entered the reception area, identified themselves, and stated their purpose.

A nun wearing a protective mask led them to a confessional room.

The nun said softly, "Please relax your mind and body, and don't resist. We will be performing the [Advanced Purification Technique] on you shortly."

It was Lin Chen's first time undergoing [Purification], and he felt a little nervous.

I hope they don't think I'm a demon possessing the original owner's body and purify me, an otherworldly soul!

Fortunately, as the Holy Light shone upon them, neither of them reacted. Instead, they even recovered some mental power.

Lin Chen's body even emitted a golden light, as if declaring ownership.

The nun observed them for a while, then said, "The purification is complete. No abnormalities were detected. I will sync the results with the Security Bureau. You are free to go~"

She then escorted them out of the confessional room and paid them no further attention.

As they were strolling out of the church, they brushed past a White-robed Bishop.

"Please, wait a moment."

A gentle yet unyielding voice suddenly sounded. The White-robed Bishop politely stopped Lin Chen and Chen Xiao Diao.

"Is there something wrong?"

"May I ask where the aura of the Holy Grail on your bodies comes from?"

The White-robed Bishop asked politely with a smile, but the divine light emanating from him had already begun to shine.

Lin Chen instinctively tensed up. He felt that the divinity attached to the bishop was no weaker than his own!

He must also be a wielder of a God's card!

That was why he could so keenly detect the aura of the [Blood-Meat Holy Grail] on Lin Chen and Chen Xiao Diao.

"Our Church of Light cooperates closely with the Security Bureau, so feel free to share any information."

The White-robed Bishop added, easing Lin Chen and Chen Xiao Diao's concerns.

Although the divine radiance on the bishop's body was not violent, it was as deep and long as the undercurrents of the deep sea, exuding an oppressive feeling.

It was as if he was stating his intention – he was determined to know the answer.

However, there was nothing wrong with revealing this matter. Chen Xiao Diao was supposed to report it anyway. Even if she found it inconvenient to speak, Lin Chen could do it.

"It's the God of Wine. His priest used a Holy Grail to revive a piece of His divinity."

After hearing Lin Chen's words, a hint of surprise… and fear appeared on the powerful bishop's face.
