This actor is full of tricks.

Behind the curtain, ghostly figures loomed, muttering and cryptic, performing a ritual to worship the gods.

Lin Jue had seen cultists in white robes before, but this was the first time he had seen one in a red robe. The dense black aura proved that the red-robed figure possessed a formidable strength at the B-level.

This guy must be the boss of this script.

"A bunch of weirdos are worshipping gods here, they're completely insane!" Captain Wang muttered under his breath.

"Captain, should we go in?"

Seeing such a large and bizarre number of creatures, the team members were terrified. They knew they were about to face a tough battle.

This is no longer a question of whether or not to broadcast live; rather, the Jiuyuan Inspection Division has been pressured by headquarters to thoroughly resolve the Golden Rose Hotel issue, or all its staff will be held accountable.

"Put on the talisman given by the old Taoist priest!" Captain Wang shouted, taking out a talisman and sticking it on himself. The other team members also took out yellow talismans and stuck them on themselves in a similar manner.

The moment the talisman touched the body, it turned into golden light and melted into the skin. All the members of Tie Ning's team were covered with a golden light film, somewhat like the bronze statues of Shaolin Temple.

[The Vajra talisman looks so familiar with its drawing technique.]

Lin Jue noticed the old man's comments floating in the live stream. A thought struck him: the old man had once said that he had practiced in a temple that combined Buddhism and Taoism. Could it be that the old Taoist priest that Tie Ning's team had been talking about also came from that temple?

After pasting the yellow talismans, Captain Wang was the first to lift the curtain and rush in. He instinctively sensed that he couldn't let this strange ritual continue, as something unexpected might happen if the ritual was completed.

The moment he rushed in, the ritual was forced to stop. All the ghosts turned to look at him, their eyes sinister, but without any surprise. It was as if they already knew someone had broken in.

“Ignorant and foolish humans, are you here to participate in the sacrificial ceremony as well?” The red-robed figure’s face was cold, but he did not make a move immediately. His tone was seductive: “You have done many wrong things in the past and offended Father. But Father is benevolent to all people. As long as you are willing to turn back in time, Father will be magnanimous and accept you and forgive all your mistakes.”

No wonder this guy can wear a red robe that is completely different from other believers. He is the most devout follower of the Father. Even if the person in front of him is an enemy, he still wants to persuade more believers for the Father.

"A ritual? Father?" Captain Wang held a rusty sword, and several flashes of sword light cleaved the nearest white-robed monster into pieces.

The minced flesh was swallowed by the floor, and all the blood and gore in the room seemed to be reveling.

"So it was you who turned this hotel into a mess? Killed so many people, all for this so-called ceremony?"

"Today I will slay the demons and monsters, restore peace and order to the land, and seek justice for the dead!"

Captain Wang stood with his sword in hand, speaking with a powerful and resounding voice. He had clearly memorized his lines before coming, determined to establish the image of the Jiuyuan Inspection Division as a great and righteous force.

The man in the red robe stared eerily at the pieces of flesh on the ground that had been devoured, his facial features contorted in a grimace.

"Can you bear your father's wrath for interrupting his dinner party?"

He spoke in a erratic manner, completely like a thoroughly brainwashed cultist. "Take their eyes off them; the eyes of these superhumans will surely become Father's most delicious food."

"Let them also merge into the ocean of the Father's loving divinity."

The white-robed monsters exuded terrifying resentment, their voices were shrill and ferocious, and their expressions were insane. They uttered all sorts of venomous words, displaying extreme malice, and looked at Tie Ning's team as if they were offerings.

The supernatural is inherently eccentric, but this group of cult members is even more insane. People can do anything after being brainwashed by a cult, let alone the supernatural beings who are mentally deranged.

The battle was about to break out. Lin Jue put his phone in his pocket and hid in a corner. What was about to happen was no longer suitable for the viewers in the live stream.

He had no idea that when he was filming the bloody corridor earlier, quite a few viewers had already soiled themselves.

"Gouge out their eyes and offer them to the greatest and most benevolent father!"

"This is the best offering; my father will grant me God's baptism!"

The red-robed monster let out a sharp cry, and all the white-robed monsters stood up from the ground, charging towards Tie Ning's team with crazed expressions.

"Do it!"

Captain Wang shouted, and the team members behind him could only grit their teeth and charge forward. There was no turning back now; fleeing in fear would only bring them accountability from headquarters. If they could handle this matter well, the benefits would be extremely substantial.

In the blink of an eye, all sorts of extraordinary and bizarre abilities collided, causing what felt like a magnitude 10 earthquake to erupt in the room. Yet, even under such a terrifying impact, the surrounding flesh and blood remained completely unharmed.

Most of the white-robed ghosts were at the D-level. Although their numbers were twice that of Tie Ning's team, their attacks could not harm the members of Tie Ning's team at all. When their strange abilities hit the golden membrane, they made a "clang" sound, as if they had hit a heavy iron block.

Upon seeing this, the members of Tie Ning's team were immediately invigorated. The attacks of these white-robed monsters could not break through their defenses at all, while they could unleash their full power to injure or even kill the enemy.

The most eye-catching one was Captain Wang. Although his character might not be the best, his third-tier strength was undeniable. He wielded the rusty sword with incredible skill, and with each few strikes, a white-robed monster was torn to shreds by the sword light.

The death of their companion did not frighten the cultists; instead, they became even more frenzied, wanting only to kill the humans who had offended their father in order to gain his favor and forgiveness.

From the very beginning, the red-robed monster stood calmly to the side, showing no sign of making a move, simply watching coldly as the white-robed monster was killed and its corpse was devoured by the blood and flesh.

Lin Jue huddled in the corner, feeling as if the flesh and blood around him had become even more vivid, as if fresh blood was about to seep out.

The red-robed ghost clearly possessed strength surpassing all the ghosts and demons present, yet it hesitated to make a move, even performing a strange sacrificial dance: "My believers, your deaths are not the end. You will eventually return to the Father's embrace and gain eternal life."

Although he sensed something was amiss, Lin Jue didn't rush to make a move. Instead, he quietly observed from a corner. Since Captain Wang dared to take on the challenge, he must possess some powerful trump card. He could leave the fighting to the Investigation Department; he just needed to stay here obediently and wait for the script to wrap up. (End of Chapter)
