• Ozero recited a hymn as the statue produced a bloody mist, but the ritual still lacked enough power.

• Ozero fed captured thugs to the divine statue, and the blood mist revived dead magical beasts as fighter jets dropped bombs that vanished without exploding.

• Yin Nu summoned the Voodoo Doll and approached the phone, while Xu Rou sensed its Weird aura with her Weird Umbrella.
• The phone rang urgently, and Xu Rou pressed answer with the umbrella’s handle, causing its screen to distort.

Xu Rou and Yin Nu investigated the anomaly haunting Cheng Jian through his phone and judged it to be a vengeful spirit-class threat. An unknown attacker stole the anomaly during a smoke-bomb ambush, and Xu Rou returned to find Cheng Jian still marked.

• A threatening call reached Xu Rou, and she recognized the voice as her dead husband’s, while Yin Nu reassured her about her past.

• Xu Rou touched the Bone Umbrella to Cheng Jian’s palm, and he felt a bone-piercing chill.

Xu Rou removed the mark from Cheng Jian and reported the stolen Weird to Headquarters, where the Anomaly Containment Association agreed to declare war on the Church of Birth and send its S-rank Contract Anomalists. Meanwhile, Shen Yu used Void to contact the Church of Birth, and their bishop invited him to meet in Near City as both sides argued over sharing intelligence.

• Void accused the bishop of withholding intelligence, while the bishop challenged Disaster to share useful information in return for the Church's cooperation.
• Evil Mouth complained that the bishop wanted free intelligence, and Love Resentment reported that the Church's recent operations had badly harmed the Anomaly Containment Association and left an S-rank Contract Anomalist with severe psychological trauma.

Void met with Evil Mouth and Love Resentment as they discussed trading intelligence about the Anomaly Containment Association's Chairman to an enemy faction. He then met a bishop from the Church of Birth, who tried to persuade him to join while praising the Mother of Birth.

• Evil Mouth proposed selling intelligence on the Anomaly Containment Association's Chairman to the faction seeking to bring the Association down.
• Love Resentment considered how the Anomaly Containment Association and Calamity Organization had become enemies, while Evil Mouth suggested profiting from the faction's attack either way.
• Void received a message, left Evil Mouth and Love Resentment, and went to the Stilt Teahouse to meet the bishop.
• The bishop praised the Mother of Birth and tried to sway Void into joining the Church of Birth, but Void listened without agreeing.

Void negotiated cooperation between the Calamity Organization and the Church of Birth, offering intelligence on the Anomaly Containment Association’s Chairman in exchange for the Church’s goodwill. The bishop accepted the information and decided to increase the reward.

• The bishop urged Void to join the Church of Birth’s plan to lure and eliminate the Anomaly Containment Association’s Contract Anomalists.
• Void asked about the plan, then offered the bishop important intelligence in return for further information.
• The bishop explained that only the Church’s bishops knew the plan in any detail.
• Void revealed that the Calamity Organization had obtained information about the Anomaly Containment Association’s Chairman and handed the bishop a slip of paper.
• The bishop judged the intelligence likely genuine, promised compensation, and decided the Church’s prepared reward was not enough.

The bishop explained to Void how the Church of Birth planned to use a phone-cursing Weird, empowered by the Divine Stone, to kill people on a massive scale. Void warned that Contract Anomalists could resist the curse, but the bishop argued that their human ties left them vulnerable.

• The bishop revealed that the Church of Birth had taken a weak Weird from two Contract Anomalists and wanted to use the Divine Stone to raise its rank.
• The bishop explained that the Weird cursed people through mobile phones, causing each marked victim to die by suicide before the curse passed on.
• Void pointed out that Contract Anomalists knew the Weird's ability and could resist its curse until reinforcements arrived.
• The bishop acknowledged the risk but argued that Contract Anomalists still had human ties that the Church could target.

Shen Yu tried to draw the Church of Birth’s attention away from Contract Anomalists’ relatives and toward himself, while the bishop returned to Church of Birth Headquarters with information about the Chairman of the Anomaly Containment Association. The cult leader accepted the intelligence as genuine and ordered Calamity’s reward increased.

• Shen Yu reasoned that the Church of Birth could target Contract Anomalists’ distant relatives, friends, and other loved ones, so he used Void to make himself the Church’s target.
• The bishop, excited by Void’s information, returned to Church of Birth Headquarters to report to the cult leader.
• The bishop told the cult leader that the Calamity representative had seemed unmoved by temptation but had provided intelligence about the Chairman of the Anomaly Containment Association.

Shen Yu returned to Yeyang City and used his Ghost Domain to create a seemingly ordinary neighborhood, where he disguised himself as a student. Meanwhile, a Bishop from the Church of Birth arrived to investigate rumors that the Anomaly Containment Association's Chairman was in the city.

• Shen Yu arrived in Yeyang City and created a bustling replica neighborhood in Yong'an District using his Ghost Domain.
• Shen Yu put on a high school uniform and sat in a classroom at Phantom High School.
• The Bishop entered Yeyang City with devout believers, who praised his power and ambition to become the next Cult Leader.
• The Bishop reviewed the gathered intelligence and wondered why the Chairman might be drawn to the city, where Yi Gui Company operated as an Anomaly Containment Association subsidiary.

After learning that the Anomaly Containment Association’s Chairman might be in Yeyang City, the Church of Birth’s bishop disguised his followers as employees of an investment company to investigate. The group established the Biotechnology Research Company and entered the city, where they were preparing to find The One.

• Void told the bishop that intelligence pointed to Yeyang City as the likely home of the Anomaly Containment Association’s Chairman, but he had avoided investigating further because a Weird inside him made him easy to detect.
• The bishop decided the Church of Birth’s believers could investigate without attracting attention if they concealed their identities and dressed like locals.
• The bishop and his followers changed into local clothes, and he adopted the name President Sheng.
• After the cultists located The One, the bishop instructed them to pose as employees of the Biotechnology Research Company and consider forging documents for a convincing cover.
• The followers registered the Biotechnology Research Company in Yeyang City, and the bishop transferred ten million in overseas donations into its account.
• The bishop presented himself to local authorities as an investor, claiming the company planned to build a biological research institute and related factories.

The bishop secured approval to build a biological technology factory in Yeyang City’s undeveloped District D, using overseas believers’ money to establish a cover for the Church of Birth and gather intelligence. After learning that Phantom High School was managed by Yi Gui Company, he and Void suspected the Chairman of the Anomaly Containment Association was hiding there to stabilize his humanity, and the bishop planned to disrupt that balance.

• Yeyang City’s higher-ups approved the bishop’s factory proposal and welcomed his choice of District D as the construction site.
• District D’s residents heard that a factory would be built nearby and hoped it would bring jobs and schools to the area.
• The bishop raised funds from wealthy overseas believers and used the factory plans to inspect the area around Phantom High School.
• Shen Yu read the report and recognized that the factory would let Church of Birth members operate openly as business owners.
• The bishop learned that Yi Gui Company managed Phantom High School and its neighboring street, then suspected the Chairman of the Anomaly Containment Association was hiding there.
• Void theorized that the Chairman lived near ordinary people to resist being assimilated by his Weird, and the bishop decided to break that balance in hopes of making him lose control.

The bishop sought more resources from the Church of Birth so he could build factories and strengthen his position while pursuing the Anomaly Containment Association’s Chairman. He visited Phantom High School as President Sheng, offering support for poor students and asking to observe a class.

• After speaking with Void, the bishop applied to the Church of Birth for resources and resolved to proceed cautiously while pursuing his ambitions.
• Students at Phantom High School heard that a successful entrepreneur would visit and speculated about new factories, jobs, and scholarships.
• The bishop arrived at the school with its leaders, listening as the principal described the district’s poor facilities and lack of educational resources.
• The bishop offered to fund support for students with financial difficulties, and the principal thanked him.
• A believer told the vice principal that President Sheng wanted to sit in on a class and observe the students’ learning environment.

The bishop toured the school under the pretense of investing and sponsoring students, while secretly searching for Chairman. He watched two acclaimed academic geniuses in class but sensed that neither was the person he sought.

• The principal sent the vice principal and several cultists to inspect the laboratory building while he escorted the bishop through the school.
• The bishop reassured the principal that students could enjoy recess, then asked about high-achieving students from poor families.
• The bishop offered to sponsor the university expenses of those students and other poor children, concealing his specific interest in a few of them.
• The principal took the bishop to two academic geniuses' classrooms, where the bishop listened to a lesson and instinctively ruled out both students as Chairman.
