Hostility

The main reason for this is that most people believe in the existence of gods.

Although the last miracle was a long time ago, with technology controlled by the Holy See, it's hard for ordinary people not to believe in the existence of gods.

From Ye Xin's perspective, just by observing the feelings of these two boys, one can sense a sense of awe in the face of such a colossal figure.

"Under normal circumstances, there's really no need to bother the Holy See, it would be a waste of a lot of money. This time, I've invited a professional for you." Jiang Ye said, then leaned closer and lowered his voice, mysteriously adding, "This young lady is from that circle."

The student's expression changed, and he quickly stepped out of the doorway to look at the girl standing by the stairs on the left.

"Hello." Ye Xin smiled slightly at him.

The student was also surprised to find such a beautiful young woman and became a little reserved for a moment. "Hello, please come in, I'll make you some tea."

Ye Qian, who had been invited in, quickly sat down on the sofa in the living room.

There were some pastries on the table, and two cups of green tea were placed in front of me.

Since Ye Xin transmigrated here, she has basically not had the habit of drinking tea. Now, as she picks up her teacup, she thinks about how the Easterners in this world live in an environment full of European-style architecture, and how they Fusion so perfectly without any sense of incongruity. She can't help but feel a little emotional.

But this clearly didn't happen without reason, because cultural Fusion had already been completed in past eras. Conflicts between different forces were at most manifested in religion. And behind religions, there were often different deities.

In other words, if an extremely intense conflict occurs between the world's most powerful forces, to the point of involving top-tier experts, it likely signifies a divine decree from the gods behind the scenes.

So, is there a distinction between East and West in the concept of God?

Unfortunately, no!

Overall, the relationships between the gods are relatively harmonious in this era. Although some say that the conflicts between the gods were extremely exaggerated at the end of the Second Era and the beginning of the Fourth Era, and that countless gods even perished, the specific information is completely inaccessible to ordinary people except for some hidden powerful forces.

"My sister is preaching inside... no, it can't be called preaching. She doesn't seem to be a follower of any particular sect. She's like she's possessed, leading her classmates in rituals. I've already written down what's been happening in my notes. Please take a look."

He treated Ye Xin with great respect.

This student clearly believed Jiang Ye's words and thought that the person he invited must be extraordinary.

Ye Xin actually discovered through the Mystic Thread that he originally did not believe in any superstitious things, but after witnessing his sister's absurd state, he gradually began to believe in the existence of something unclean.

Perhaps many dangerous rituals are simply not to be touched.

After reading the contents briefly, Ye Xin understood why the other party was so worried.

Bloodletting, kowtowing, burning palms with candles... some rituals have reached the point of self-harm, but when put together, they seem to be a form of worship.

Her sister did all this to please the supreme being of "blood".

"I understand. Can you let me see the people inside now?" Ye Xin asked.

"If we rush in and disturb them, they'll go crazy. But there's one inside who seems relatively normal, so the impact won't be too serious. We can call him out."

"Then you give it a try."

"Okay." As if making up his mind, the student stood up.

After opening the door to the large room next door and going inside, I soon heard shouts of cursing and smashing coming from inside.

Didn't I tell you to get out?

It was clearly her sister who spoke.

"It's alright, it's alright, I won't bother you. I just hope Xiaoyu can come out for a bit. I need to ask him about the blood."

Upon hearing the word "blood," the younger sister's tone softened slightly. "She doesn't understand anything, what can she possibly ask? Get lost."

And so, the little fish was kicked out.

After leaving the house, the classmate looked somewhat heavy-hearted and uneasy.

"In..."

"I already know." Ye Xin had witnessed the scene through the Mystic Thread, breathed a sigh of relief.

It's all blood; they bled too much.

The younger sister was already pale and had numerous wounds on her body; several of her classmates were also in bad shape. This little fish was also in a terrible state; she was clearly unwilling, but was forced to cut her wrist.

After coming out, Xiaoyu, who had glasses, two long braids, and black-rimmed glasses, sat nervously opposite Jiang Ye and Ye Xin, looking at them with a slightly flustered expression.

"Xiaoyu, the specialist I've hired this time can help your classmate recover, and also help my sister get back to normal."

"Yes, yes." Xiaoyu nodded immediately. "Xiaoli is already very abnormal. If the people from the Light Prayer Church find out, she might be arrested and interrogated. I hope to bring her back from her madness, but she..."

"This is no longer just her own wish." Ye Xin interrupted Xiao Yu, drawing everyone's attention to herself.

"This ritual itself has touched some kind of hidden power. Your sister... well, about Xiao Li, if it were just something she liked, she wouldn't have gone to such a crazy state in such a short time. It would also be difficult to persuade so many classmates to join in. Xiao Yu, let me ask you, did you feel any kind of bewitching?"

"Bewitched?" Xiaoyu frowned, trying to understand the meaning of the words. "You mean that feeling... of wanting to do it too? I didn't feel it at first, but after the first bloodletting, I actually felt that it wasn't so bad. Of course... strictly speaking, I still can't accept it."

"Seriously?" The student looked extremely shocked. "Sir, do you mean that if we don't stop her, Xiaoyu will end up like my sister?"

"To put it bluntly, yes." Ye Qian didn't deny it, pointing to the room. "The way the items were arranged, the patterns formed by the flowing blood, and the words they spoke during the process have all formed a week-long prayer ritual in the dark. In this world, any ritual that is not from Orthodox God Church and whose origin is unknown is extremely dangerous, and it most likely points to some unknown being. That being, whatever its true identity, has probably already entered the realm of some kind of Evil God. Perhaps... we should call it 'He'."

Ye Xin's words immediately made the faces of the people present change color.

"I've heard that this kind of ritual is very dangerous. The Holy See has warned us before that any response to heresy is fraught with danger, capable of driving people mad, corrupting them, and causing death at best, or worse than death at worst."

"That's true in a sense." Ye Xin didn't deny it. "Even reciting the name of a god might attract their attention. And generally speaking, being watched by an unknown being usually leads to a terrible result. Although there's a possibility of a good outcome, the probability is about the same as winning the lottery multiple times in a row."

Ye Qian didn't make the probability too low, after all, her Dusk was still pretty good. Amia was incredibly obedient under her tutelage, and of course, she only listened to her, her mother.

"If it involves Evil God, is the only option to contact the Light Prayer Church?" Jiang Ye's expression darkened further. He knew what contacting the Holy See meant: if his sister wasn't properly investigated, she might be sent to the Heretic Tribunal trial.

"Unless absolutely necessary, do not alarm the Light Prayer Church. I can try to help you. However, given the inherent danger of the matter, I cannot guarantee success." Ye Xin stood up.

Chapter 109 Enemy

"Really? I didn't expect there to be hope for a solution to something involving Evil God? Thank you so much."

The classmate was extremely excited. He knew that this matter was of a very high level and not something that ordinary people could participate in, which further confirmed his belief in Ye Xin's identity.

Jiang Ye knew exactly what the word "Evil God" meant. Not to mention an ordinary, Hidden One like him, even a truly Transcendent would probably not dare to easily touch that level of power.

"Please come in."

Ye Xin quickly arrived at the door of the room, led by her classmate.

Click!

The door opened, revealing the scene inside.

The scene that came into view could only be described as bizarre.

Four students were kneeling on the ground, their bodies covered in scratches, while the ground was stained with bright red blood.

On the table in front, two candles, one white and one red, were burning, and around them were sesame oil, spices, herbs, and other items whose purpose was unknown.

Overall, it does indeed look like some kind of religious ritual.

The moment the door opened, several people opened their eyes simultaneously and cast cold gazes over.

Her younger sister's eyes were filled with anger, and she screamed almost hysterically, "Why do you have to bother us again?!"

"Hey everyone, I'm here to check if the ceremony is going correctly." Ye Xin waved her hand directly into the room.

"It's none of your business," the younger sister said angrily, standing up.

"No, no, no, this is absolutely necessary. In any ceremony, if even the smallest detail goes wrong, it is a great disrespect. Are you really confident that you have done every step correctly?"

Ye Xin stepped inside, an eerie feeling immediately enveloped her.

She frowned slightly.

"It seems I was right. This feeling... the rhythm created by the way objects are arranged has already stirred up some kind of power."

She didn't know if she had really communicated with some Evil God, but in any case, the younger sister and several classmates were clearly bewitched and had become like madmen.

Is some Evil God watching this place?

Her gaze drifted over the simple "altar," and she began to try to decipher some meaning within it. She also took the opportunity to communicate with the loli dragon Amia, asking her to use her own powers to judge the differences.

A few seconds later, Amia responded, "Mom, nothing is watching you."

Ye Xin: "..."

Okay.

At this moment, the younger sister's expression slowly turned suspicious. Although she was disgusted by Ye Xin's sudden intrusion, she seemed to be wondering if there was something wrong with her ritual.

It was like a lump in her throat, a situation she simply couldn't tolerate.

Ye Xin arrived at the altar, where blood mingled. She extended a finger and touched it, and to her surprise, the blood seemed to be alive, surging up Ye Qian finger and trying to devour her.

However, perhaps because they had drunk the Water of Purification before and the effects hadn't worn off, the blood flow seemed to be somewhat hindered upon contact.

A kind of incomprehensible, Pollution aura emanated from her, as if trying to tell her something.

"Mother!"

Amia's words immediately awakened her.

Ye Xin then came to her senses and realized that she had been standing there for quite a while.

Looking back, the expressions of those people were all filled with surprise.

"I'll help you get rid of that bastard!" The loli dragon snorted breathlessly, releasing a weak aura that instantly Fusion with Ye Xin's body. Then, as if encountering a natural enemy, the blood was instantly forced back.

The aura spread, causing the candlelight to flicker violently and extinguish one of them.

The girls behind him shuddered and stared blankly at the scene before them.

"This..." The younger sister was stunned into thought.

Ye Xin turned around and noticed through the Mystic Thread that the girl's mind had suddenly cleared up, at least not like before when her mind was filled with rituals and blood.

"Have you come out of the frenzy?" Ye Xin herself was a little surprised.

Amia's abilities are that effective?

Or is it that the little loli dragon's status is actually very high, making this hidden being representing "blood" feel wary and dare not take the initiative to contact her?

As she was thinking this, the younger sister suddenly knelt on the ground, covered her face, and said, "What did I do?"

Ye Xin sighed and slapped a decoration off the table, instantly dispelling its wonderful charm.

Then she turned around with a smile and looked at the girl, saying, "It's alright. You were just bewitched by an Evil God. As long as you realize that your behavior is wrong, the problem is not serious."

She squatted down and pointed to the blood on the ground. "Look how much blood you've lost. At this rate, you might die from blood loss before the ritual is even completed."

It's also possible that they won't die; anything can happen with rituals related to Evil God.

Outside the door, the older brother rushed in and hugged his younger sister tightly. "Are you alright? I'll take you to the hospital?"

"Waaah, I'm sorry, brother."

Seeing this, Ye Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

But then she thought about it again and realized that her suspicion of having a connection with that "blood" person meant she had become enemies.

Little Amia, you need to advance your rank quickly, because your current position isn't enough to suppress that kind of thing.

Although that's what she thought, Ye Xin wasn't actually afraid of anything, since these were all clones, not her original body.

Once outside, Jiang Ye approached and said, "Thank you so much, boss."

"No need to thank me." Ye Xin took out her phone and glanced at the time. "You should worry about yourself. I have an organization behind me to deal with interference in matters concerning Evil God. It won't be difficult for us to fight back. Besides, our forces don't care about the Blood Faction's beliefs. You're just an ordinary person. Be careful in the future, lest you be cursed for no reason."

"Ah?"

Jiang Ye was dumbfounded.

He never expected that this matter would involve him.

"Well, don't worry too much. What I said wasn't absolute; I was just reminding you to be more careful."

"Alright," the boy said with a wry smile.

"Well, I'm leaving now. Anyway, you've already given me the 50,000. Let's contact each other again if anything comes up."

After saying that, Ye Xin didn't waste any more words and left the scene directly.

This incident marked the first time Ye Xin had witnessed something divine. In a sense, it was also a clash between Amia, this half-baked god, and another deity. Of course... strictly speaking, it couldn't be called a clash at all; rather, the other party was frightened.

"Generally speaking, unless someone is doing exceptionally poorly, an Evil God will definitely have their own power in the mortal world. Will that god issue some divine decree targeting me? Or... will they do nothing? Hmm, whatever the purpose, I need to thoroughly search Konghai City during this period of time, and it wouldn't be a problem to launch an attack on them."

With God's power, dealing with anyone would be easy. The reason we're barely surviving and living in hiding is because we can't interfere with reality and are being suppressed by the Orthodox God Church.
