Chapter 219 I Want to Build a Temple on the Top Floor

The Human Torch, John, and Standin—these names would easily qualify them for a character with lines in a movie.

On his way here, Li Xuan was thinking about the 'Grim Reaper' and was feeling rather depressed. He never expected that he would be left speechless by the appearance and names of these three people...

Ethan and Kotoko introduced themselves.

Li Xuan also said, "Li Xuan is Chinese and also related to this profession."

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Standin turned on a projector and projected images onto the wall, instantly displaying dozens of small surveillance screens. He said:
“The frequency of death incidents has been increasing in recent years, and they happen in almost every place. However, people die without realizing it and think it is just an ‘accident’.”

"More than twenty exorcists have died in the process of investigating this invisible 'death god'."

"Over the years, we have been fighting against 'death' and have also hired many powerful exorcists from other countries to join us, but unfortunately, none of them have been very effective."

"However, this Ms. Higa Kotoko from the island nation has extensive experience in exorcism and has almost no defeats. She gives us new hope, and perhaps this time she can really end the 'Grim Reaper'."

When Standin got to this point, Higa Kotoko nodded slightly, smiled, and pointed at Li Xuan, saying, "This Mr. Li Xuan is a more powerful exorcist than me, and he also has rich exorcism experience. I hope that he can have the same authority as me in terms of personnel deployment, or that my authority can be transferred to him."

Kotoko Higa's name was renowned in the exorcism world of Japan, and Standin never expected that she would admire a foreigner so much.

It's not that China lacks skilled exorcists, but Stantin tried searching for them and found that those people didn't like appearing in public. He went three times but couldn't find any.

Of course, I am overjoyed to have such an unexpected surprise.

He smiled and said, "Of course."

Just then, a small square on the surveillance screen turned red. Standing took out a laser pointer and pointed at the square. The screen immediately enlarged, revealing a somewhat chaotic street with a sedan whose front end was blown off and a black minivan with its trunk mangled. The two vehicles had collided, with debris scattered all over the ground and bloodstains.

Just as Standin picked up his phone, another call came in: "Mr. Standin, there was a car accident at number 110. During the impact, his seatbelt buckle came loose, and he was thrown out of the windshield due to inertia, hitting his head on a flower bed. He has been confirmed dead at the scene..."

Ethan's face turned pale, and he forced back his nausea as he said, "I saw that the man who was hit by the car was this man. He was hit by a large vehicle and his head hit the flower bed."

Li Xuan didn't know any of these people; they just happened to be on the same flight.

But watching them die one by one is still a bit hard to bear.

What's more, I'm on the list too.

He didn't intend to play guessing games with the so-called "Grim Reaper." When faced with something like this, the best strategy was to directly use the most powerful means.

Looking at the surveillance footage, the young exorcist, Thunderbolt, said, "According to my father's notes, 'Death' caused an accident to kill the survivors. None of the props, whether it was the broken wires or the leaking pipes, had the sulfurous smell left by the demon's spell, nor the fishy smell of ghosts. Everything was so natural, as if the pipes and wires had indeed reached the end of their lifespan."

He touched the silver stud in his ear, a cold light gleaming in his eyes.

The people standing nearby could all feel Thunderbolt's barely suppressed killing intent and rage...

This smells like revenge.

Li Xuan said, "The Queen's Building has been completed for a while now, right? It seems that apart from the third to the twentieth floors, the other floors haven't been rented out yet?"

Standin explained, “Originally, we wanted to build an exorcism building, but in terms of funding… those people up there felt it wasn’t necessary to invest too much here, so we had to raise money elsewhere.”

Currently, the building is divided into two floors: floors 20 and below, which are used for profit; and floors 20 and above, which serve as offices for exorcists. However, exorcists are very rare, coming from various states and even different worlds, and seldom spend time in the building. Therefore, floors 21 to the top have always been deserted.

When Li Xuan came up, the elevator was transparent at both ends, and he could vaguely see the situation in other buildings.

He saw that some floors even had temples built inside, just like the True Immortal Temple in the world of "Double Vision".

Hearing what Standin said, he immediately had an idea and said, "The target of the exorcism is 'Death,' and the information we have is extremely scarce. If we want to increase our chances of success, I want to build a temple, a temple to the Great Emperor of Fengdu."

Standin paused for a moment, hesitated, and said, "If we can really defeat 'Death,' this is not an excessive request. But that will be the reward, and there will be nothing else."

Li Xuan said, "There are various temples in this building, so I should be able to choose this place too."

Standin gasped. There were indeed temples inside the building, but those were the fruits of the exorcists' many near-death experiences, and symbols of honor...

This young man came up and asked that a temple be built in the Queen's Building; his appetite is terrifying.

He was silent for a moment, then said, "Have you chosen a floor?"

Li Xuan said, "I feel that the top floor has a wide view and a good area, so it's very suitable."

Standin lost his initial composure, his eyes twitched slightly, and he said:

"The Queen's Building has a special location and a very high construction cost. Only the strongest exorcist can build a temple on this top floor. You're new here... so it might not be suitable."

"Although the 'Grim Reaper's' modified rules for killing are somewhat tricky and unsolvable, it mainly kills by 'accident' and will not cause widespread panic."

His meaning was simple: lower the price.

Li Xuan knew that Standin was trying to lower the price, and he didn't know how long he could stay. Since he was going to build a temple, he definitely needed to choose a good location...

“Mr. Standin, I dare say this because it must be of great value.”

The Fengdu Emperor Temple must not be overshadowed by foreign temples.

After thinking for a long time, Standin said, "I can't decide this on my own, but I can agree to let you build the temple at a height of more than thirty stories. As for the top floor, let's start the 'exorcism' work first."

I still need to discuss this with the other shareholders.

Power in the United States is not pure; it is permeated with commercial influences.

Even exorcist organizations are not immune to this law; some people can't stand it and become lone, untrained exorcists...

Standin's attitude was very sincere, and it was clear that he was not managing the Exorcist Building with a purely business-minded approach.

The elevator dinged.

The survivors of the flight gradually appeared, their faces bearing strange expressions.

This is understandable. As an exorcism building, it's inevitable that some things will sneak in. So when you come out of the elevator, you have to go through at least three security gates and pass through various exorcism symbols... Only after being screened layer by layer and confirmed to be human can you appear in important areas...
