The black net seemed to have sensed Qin Ze.
It suddenly became extremely agitated, constantly colliding with the Sidelines its Spiritual Sea of Consciousness, trying to break free.
However, his Spiritual Sea of Consciousness kept it firmly locked inside.
After observing it for a moment, Qin Ze figured out what it was all about.
The Spiritual Sea of Consciousness of the clone is very special; it is connected to a vast and intricate Local Area Network.
The spiritual Corruption from this Preacher was unlike any other spiritual Corruption Qin Ze had ever encountered before.
It does not spread through mental networks, but through the physical body.
When a fanatic gets close to a "blank slate," the " Corruption " within their Spiritual Sea of Consciousness will extend "tentacles" and burrow into the "blank slate's" Spiritual Sea of Consciousness to complete the Corruption.
Then came the passing sequence: first to second, second to fourth, fourth to eighth...
As Miss Sword Case said, the " Corruption " will spread like a plague, and all intelligent life in the world will turn into fanatics.
Fanatics forget everything about themselves, their hearts filled only with devotion to "the Lord".
This is precisely why the Believer Clone was disconnected from the Local Area Network.
Before the Local Area Network was disconnected, it activated an emergency procedure, locking the Corruption within the Spiritual Sea of Consciousness.
Divine Markings appeared in Qin Ze's eyes, and a golden light emanated from his palm.
The "black net" in the Spiritual Sea of Consciousness vanished instantly under the illumination of the divine light.
The Believer Clone's eyes regained their clarity, and the signal reappeared on the Local Area Network.
He looked around, puzzled, and asked, "Why are you tying me up?"
"This scene looks like a medieval witch execution."
The surrounding clones were immediately disappointed upon seeing this.
"Boring, I want to see burning at the stake."
The clone tied to the pillar suddenly opened its eyes wide. "You're going to burn me to death?"
The Dharma King stepped forward and untied his ropes. "Calm down, that was before. Now you don't have to die."
The clone firmly shook its head. "No, I mean please continue."
"This will give me a taste of what it's like to be burned at the stake for being a heretic."
The Dharma King's hand movements froze.
Qin Ze and Miss Sword Case have returned to the second floor.
Through the experiment he had just conducted, he discovered that the Golden Source of God had a remarkable effect on Corruption Preacher.
However, finding out how to identify this Preacher has become a problem.
He couldn't just stay in Snow City like a priest and offer purification to the fanatics.
Qin Ze looked at the Sword Case beside him. "Do you know which evil god made it?"
Miss Sword Case replied, "There are so many evil gods, how would I know which one it will be?"
Qin Ze sneered, "Another remnant of the old regime."
Miss Sword Case suddenly said, "I just remembered something. The Preacher's abilities only work on intelligent life. Logically, War Puppet shouldn't be infected..."
At this point, Miss Sword Case fell silent.
The more she thought about it, the stranger the whole thing seemed.
Qin Ze's War Puppet possessed such strong initiative that they were like living, breathing people.
Miss Sword Case, after all, has existed since the time of the gods and has never seen such a strange War Puppet.
Qin Ze said seriously, "We're best friends, aren't we?"
Miss Sword Case answered firmly, "That's right."
Qin Ze then said, "Now, my best friend, could you please keep a secret for me?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Miss Sword Case replied, "Of course."
Qin Ze sighed, "You saw the War Puppet outside too; they're very special."
"That's because I succeeded by using ancient methods combined with the Source of God."
I hope you will keep this secret for me.
"If those evil gods found out, they would definitely try every means to get the method of making War Puppet from me."
Upon hearing this, Miss Sword Case realized the seriousness of the matter.
She also wanted Qin Ze to take her to the Land of Origin, and she absolutely couldn't let her guide fall into the clutches of the evil god.
"I see."
"I will never mention your War Puppet to anyone again."
Qin Ze said gratefully, "Thank you, you truly are my best friend."
Miss Sword Case twirled around happily.
Doesn't the fact that she and Qin Ze share a secret mean their relationship has progressed further?
Miss Sword Case murmured to herself, "Great! I'm getting closer and closer to the Land of Origin!"
Qin Ze asked, "Do you know how to find Preacher?"
Miss Sword Case replied, "I don't know."
" The Preacher is empowered by the evil god; unless he reveals himself, he is almost impossible to find."
Qin Ze frowned. "So, in your time, how did the gods deal with the situation after they discovered a world with Preacher?"
Miss Sword Case said calmly, "It's simple. Just kill all intelligent life in the world, and then destroy the world."
"Generally, it involves directly waking up the World Overlord, which is convenient and quick."
Qin Ze's face darkened upon hearing this.
That's pretty simple and straightforward.
Since that's the case, it's better to become a fanatic; at least you'll still have a chance to live.
Qin Ze asked, "Are all evil gods Strange Beast God?"
Miss Sword Case replied, "The vast majority are."
"What about the very few?"
"Descended from a righteous god on the side of the Goddess of Life."
Are there traitors even among the gods?
What Qin Ze didn't understand was why the Fallen God would side with the Strange Beast God; what benefits would that bring them?
The gods seem to fear Preacher, as their approach is to destroy the entire world upon discovery.
Qin Ze: "Even if the whole world becomes a world of fanatics, and all the gods reside in the Land of the Gods, it won't have much of an impact on them, right?"
Miss Sword Case couldn't answer that question either.
"I don't know about that."
"I remember that Preacher usually appeared much later in the day."
The rest of my memories are very blurry.
Miss Sword Case said that this was all she knew.
Qin Ze raised his eyebrows.
How long is "a long time"?
Before or after the Star Gate Star Gate?
"A discovery has been made."
Suddenly, Thousand Faces sent a message via the Local Area Network.
Qin Ze snapped out of his daze, "Speak."
Thousand Faces spoke up, "In the past week, twenty martial artists have died in Snow City, and the culprit has yet to be identified."
Qin Ze frowned.
On average, three people die every day. What are those people in gray coats doing?
Thousand Faces continued, "Since there have been no leads, rumors are flying everywhere."
"As the story spread, it evolved into a tale of alien invasion."
" The Inspection Team was at a loss, so they sought help from the Hunter."
After that battle three years ago, the Hunter went from hiding to being in the open, and at least all the major official organizations knew of Hunter existence.
"The bodies are all in the morgue. I've examined them all. Their deaths were unusual; their minds were completely blank." Thousand Faces smiled. "Did you think of the Ghost Type?"
"Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with the Ghost Type."
"Their brains were more accurately described as exploded, turned into a puddle of mush, and plastered all over the inside of their skulls."
If the Ghost Type were to make a move, not a single drop of porridge would be left.
Qin Ze had been thinking for a while that the Preacher had been in Snow City for quite some time.
Preacher are hard to find, but eccentric fanatics are always easier to spot, right?
But Lao Dao still came up empty-handed.
After hearing Thousand Faces's autopsy report, Qin Ze had his answer.
