Entering

Because of his physical affinity with shadow, Adre had established a connection with Lu Li through dozens of prayers. Without Lu Li's interference, he was infected by Lu Li's shadow creature form and awakened some shadow abilities.

Furthermore, as their connection Deepening, his body instincts told him to maintain respect, even worship, towards Lu Li. This internal conflict made him extremely irritable, his eyes bloodshot, and he appeared to be losing his composure.

"In that case, I won't bother you any longer." Jasmine nodded, got up, and left the specially built teleportation room.

"Boss..." Adre stood at the door, somewhat hesitant. His communications department had been transferred to Lu Li's name, which meant that Lu Li was now his boss.

"Come in," Lu Li said with a light laugh, looking at the person opposite him. If nothing unexpected happened, then this person would be the high priest of the Church in the future.

"I understand your concerns, please don't worry too much." Lu Li had a saintly smile on his face, and having shed the Seven Deadly Sins, calling him a saint wouldn't be an exaggeration.

"It's just a transitional adjustment, like the growing pains of adolescence. As humans transition from ordinary creatures to extraordinary ones, they inevitably experience unease."

"You just need to let go of your excessive worries and follow your instincts, and your heart will be at peace," Lu Li said with a smile. These words were indeed very good, but you should know that your body can deceive you, your instincts are mostly physical reactions, and your heart can also change because of changes in your body.

Adre's body had already been largely infected by Lu Li due to the connection, so asking him to follow his instincts and his heart at this point was practically the same as asking him to completely trust Lu Li.

At this moment, Adre should have trusted reason, but unfortunately, he had been misled by Lu Li and chose to believe his instincts. When he opened his eyes again, his gaze towards Lu Li was one of fanatical worship.

"Then from today onwards, you are a true priest. Once the Church has developed, you will be the high priest." Lu Li thought for a moment, then took the floating mask of Pride and handed it to Adre: "You can use this mask. Don't disappoint me."

"Yes, boss." Adre's eyes were filled with fanaticism. The mental conflict that had been tormenting him had completely disappeared. Why think so much? Just hand over your weight to God, and you won't have to worry about anything.

Lu Li could feel that his connection with Adre Deepening further. He estimated that it wouldn't be long before Adre would become half-shadowed and then completely become one of his servant races.

Lu Li then slowly disappeared from the spot, leaving behind only Nine Masks. Adre will manage the company for him, mainly because it won't be long before almost all the people in the company become his followers.

Their daily prayers were essentially a form of self-hypnosis. Since their prayers were genuinely effective, they gradually came to believe in the prayers wholeheartedly. After a month, they had all become Lu Li's followers.

Given that they share the same faith, Adre was even given a mask by himself, if he still can't manage this group, then it can only mean that he is incompetent.

The consciousness was transferred from the original body and entered this clone.

Seeing a sliver of light shining through the curtains outside the window, Lu Li instinctively frowned. He pushed open the door and saw Wang Wencheng walking out with Big Black under his eyes, mumbling a greeting to Lu Li.

After washing up, Wang Wencheng seemed to have been fully recharged, and he pulled Lu Li to talk endlessly about his adventures last night, unaware that Lu Li had been in the other world for almost half a year.

"We almost got caught last night, and then we were caught by security. It's all Chen Qiao's fault. He was so timid. If he had been quicker, we wouldn't have been caught." Wang Wencheng sat at the cafeteria table, still talking about his regrets from last night.

"It was clearly you who caused such a commotion." A voice came from behind Wang Wencheng. It was Chen Qiao, the protagonist of Wang Wencheng's words.

Lu Li nodded and gestured to Chen Qiao. Everyone had gotten to know each other at the dinner party Albert had hosted last night. However, looking at Chen Qiao, Lu Li smiled slightly, as there was still a faint smell of blood on him.

This guy should also be an Alienation Path gamer related to blood, but he probably hasn't played many games. Of course, Lu Li didn't rely entirely on the smell of blood to judge, but rather looked at a small pendant on the other person's chest, on which was a Three Suns Seven Stars symbol.

If Lu Li remembered correctly, this pendant was one of his creations. Its function was to activate a layer of spiritual light protection after a certain amount of energy was input, regardless of resonance, and the strength of this protection was quite good. The forum alias of the buyer was: Alex.

Most of the magical items Lu Li sold had the Three Suns Seven Stars symbol, while a small number did not. Lu Li did not use any underhanded methods on these items; he merely left a small amount of harmless magic power at the mark, which could even be considered a form of marking.

Of course, this is only true when facing someone of Lu Li's level or similar. If Chen Qiao were in his current state, the magic power Lu Li on it would be enough to interfere with the operation of the magical artifact, causing him to die without knowing why.

After breakfast, everyone dispersed, since it was the last day of the holiday. There were still some students registering at the gate, but there were only eight of them from the Mystic Department. Then Lu Li an eyebrow; the dungeon quest was over, so he returned to the dormitory.

Lin Tong frowned as he watched the crowd registering. That student from before seemed to have some issues, though he hadn't looked closely enough to know exactly what they were. Remembering the others he'd seen before, Lin Tong sighed inwardly, "Once Miskatonic University opens, all sorts of weirdos and monsters appear."

Lu Li felt a flicker of uncertainty. He had a feeling of being watched, but Lu Li was confident that his clone had done a good job. Although the other party might sense something was amiss, they probably wouldn't get much information.

"Forget it, I should improve my concealment next time, otherwise it's easy to run into problems," Lu Li thought to himself, before starting to access his current mission instance.

This is the third update. I feel pretty good about it, and I should be able to add another update later.
