My clone invades all realms

Chapter 65 Temporarily Lowered Vigilance

"I'm sorry, I think you've misunderstood."

"I can't breathe," Roya said with a sigh.

"I didn't die at the time, I was just very sick, so Pera took me to another place for treatment, and I've only just recovered and come back."

"You're lying!"

From the crowd, a burly man immediately spoke up in rebuttal, holding a pitchfork in his hand.

"The best doctor in town says you're beyond saving!"

Roya turned his gaze to the burly man and calmly asked in return.

"But you didn't see my body, did you?"

One sentence left everyone speechless.

A hush fell over the room.

That seems to be true.

Everyone initially thought Roya was dead, but because Roya had no relatives in the town, his funeral arrangements were handled rather hastily.

Then news spread that the body had disappeared. Looking back now, it seems that no one ever actually checked where the body went.

This is all the information about Roya's identity this time.

A lie that seems full of loopholes, yet makes it impossible to find conclusive evidence to expose it immediately.

All eyes turned to the sole exorcist.

They didn't know anything about the Black Order, but they knew of the existence of the Holy See, and this man had Holy See identification on him, which was enough.

Moreover, the ability to conjure a steam arm out of thin air proves that his identity is definitely not fake.

The exorcist's brows furrowed, his gaze sweeping back and forth over Roya.

He was also hesitant.

Holy showed no reaction.

This is the most crucial point.

The evil aura of a demon should evoke a resonance with holiness, but at this moment, he did not feel a strong sense of holiness on his arm.

The other person's breathing, heartbeat, body temperature, and all vital signs were exactly the same as a normal person's.

He speaks fluently and logically, without the stereotypical stiffness and repetitive language of a demon.

It is said that the science team at the Black Order headquarters has developed an instrument that can directly detect demons, but that is not something that an ordinary exorcist dispatched from elsewhere could access.

Outside, exorcists often rely on their experience and the guidance of holiness to identify demons.

Judging from the experience, being resurrected from the dead seems to be a way for a demon to be born.

But he couldn't find any trace of evil in the person in front of him.

Looking at the exorcist's expression, Roya took the initiative to speak.

"Since the exorcist suspects my identity, why not let me follow you around?"

"In this way, you can monitor whether I am a demon at any time. If I am, you can eliminate me immediately, and if I am not, you can clear my name as quickly as possible."

This is Roya's true purpose.

Roya didn't care what would happen to the town.

He needs to obtain accurate information about the current state of the world from this exorcist.

The exorcist scrutinized Roya for a moment longer.

This suggestion sounds reasonable, even very cooperative.

If the other party is a demon, daring to make such a decision means either extreme arrogance or utter impunity.

Finally, the exorcist nodded.

"This is the only way for now. With you by my side, I can be on guard at any time."

The mayor, leaning on his cane, glanced at Roya, then at the exorcist, and finally had no choice but to compromise.

"Then let's do it this way."

"I disagree!"

A sharp female voice suddenly rang out, shattering the consensus that had just been reached.

It's Pera.

Luo Ya turned his head and looked at the woman.

His face was expressionless, but something in his eyes made Pera's voice stop abruptly.

That was a pure, unvarnished warning.

This woman is starting to get in the way.

Pera felt the pressure in Roya's gaze; it wasn't the tenderness of her lover that she had imagined, but something that made her tremble from the bottom of her heart.

Her lips moved, but she ultimately lowered her head, her voice barely audible.

"—If that's what you want."

Roya withdrew his gaze as if nothing had happened, then turned to the exorcist and extended his right hand.

"Roya".

The exorcist hesitated for a moment as he looked at the hand extended in front of him.

The steam-powered fist on his arm disintegrated in a burst of green light, transforming back into a glove covered with cross patterns.

Equipment-type sanctity.

He extended his hand, which was gloved with holy glove, and took Roya's hand in his.

The moment the two hands touched.

No abnormalities occurred.

At least that's how it seems to exorcists.

He felt as if he were holding a normal human hand.

The exorcist breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Roya in front of me is really not a demon.

"Stay with me for now. If I confirm that you are not a demon, I will personally clear your name from the townspeople."

Luo Ya also released his grip, a gentle expression on his face.

"Thank you for your help."

Luo Ya withdrew his hand and subtly turned his palm behind him.

If someone could see his palm, they would find a charred mark there, as if it had been branded with a hot iron, with black smoke rising from it and then quickly dissipating.

The power of holiness is truly effective at restraining demons.

Even a simple touch can cause injury.

However, the other party's senses were not so sharp that they were completely unaware of the pain and abnormality that Roya had endured in an instant.

Luo Ya's hand gently clenched behind his back.

A flash of white light appeared in his palm and then disappeared.

The authority of God.

redemption.

The charred wound on his palm healed at a visible speed, and his skin returned to its original condition.

"Come with me."

The exorcist said something to Roya, then turned and nodded to the mayor as a greeting.

"Everyone, disperse, disperse."

The mayor waved his hand, signaling the onlookers to leave.

He had originally called these able-bodied young men along to bolster his courage, just in case.

Although the exorcist hasn't explicitly stated that Roya isn't a demon, he's implicitly allowed Roya to stay by his side and observe.

The town mayor had no choice but to accept the outcome for the time being.

But in his heart, he still firmly believed that Roya was the devil.

With expressions of surprise and uncertainty, the crowd glanced at Luo Ya a few more times before slowly dispersing, looking back every few steps.

Roya turned around and smiled at Pella, who was still standing there in a daze.

"You stay here. If anything happens, I'll come back to you."

Luo Ya really didn't want to be an ungrateful person, but only if this woman didn't become an obstacle for him.

Pera's eyes were filled with complex emotions. She hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"I will wait for you here, and I will wait for you to come back."

Then let's just keep waiting.

Luo Ya silently recited a phrase to himself, then followed the exorcist out of town without looking back.

The two walked one after the other on the dirt road at dusk.

"I am Kristoff, an exorcist of the Black Order."

The exorcist walking in front introduced himself.
