He took the script of an exorcism legend, but became the number one anti-fraud expert.

At the northeast corner of Bond Street in Windhowl Town,

Roland gently raised his hand, and the pendant hanging from the middle finger of his iron gauntlet dangled in the air.

He pointed directly at Benjamin, who had just turned and entered the barracks.

Heavy breathing echoed inside the helmet. She carefully put the pendant away, lowered her arm, and the armor emitted a soft tinkling sound.

I never imagined that Benjamin would still be alive!

but,

I always felt that Benjamin was genuinely working for Windhowl Town. How did he become a second lieutenant in the guard in such a short time?

Moreover, his silver tongue was completely unlike the Benjamin she had heard about from Lillian before.

I don't want to be a fool who gets completely fooled by the nun.

Although I hadn't checked the bastard's body in the sewers beforehand, divination is never wrong.

This guy either faked his death using some method, or he was possessed by an evil spirit.

The fact that the rotting smell of the evil spirit could not be detected at this distance indicates that the possessing evil spirit is quite extraordinary!

only.....

What connection did he establish with the spirits of the fallen heroes?

Could it be that a heroic spirit has possessed him?

No, it's unlikely.

Roland refused to believe that Benjamin had ever awakened any virtue; he was nothing but a lowly rat, utterly unworthy of being noticed by a heroic spirit.

It's even less likely to be an evil spirit.

Everything was shrouded in mystery.

but,

Without a doubt, this trip was the right one.

Without Lillian present, Roland summoned the ghost carriage, which arrived in just one night.

Why don't we just capture this guy and torture him to extract a confession?

But what if he's just a human? Targeting a human... without proper reason or documentation, getting caught will only cause trouble for him.

After all, the other party is now a second lieutenant.

Importantly, Roland felt that this approach did not align with his style.

Let's learn more about it...

Thinking of this, Roland turned and walked into the alley.

This armor is too conspicuous, but it is indeed the best thing to conceal oneself and one's true identity.

She no longer wanted to dress up as an old witch like she used to.

After all, the bookstore owner no longer exists.

"Huffing and puffing!"

A swift figure darted through the street, drawing the attention of countless people.

"He's that newly promoted second lieutenant, isn't he?"

"That's right, it's him. I heard he killed a lot of evil spirits outside the town these past two days and even brought back the missing townspeople."

"That's not all! He also arrested the big liar Robin!"

"Robin? That priest?"

"That's right! They caught him this morning, it really gave me a sense of relief."

"Quick! Tell me the details..." A townsman, making no attempt to hide the glee in his eyes, hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the details.

Benjamin ignored what others were saying about him and focused solely on his running training.

Today's training task is to run along the main street of Windhowl Town, which is quite challenging and requires speed control.

Another reason for not staying in the barracks was to increase contact with people and see if there were any unfamiliar faces.

After all, the powerful figure who could guide him to become an exorcist would appear in Windhowl Town according to the log.

Thinking of this, Benjamin slowed down.

He parted his lips slightly and exhaled the 'waste gas' from his body.

This is Bond Street, and the north gate of Windhowl Town is located here.

Originally, Fenghou Town had three gates: west, south, and north. Now, only the north and south gates are open for entry and exit.

Pete said that Raven Village, located to the west of town, was even poorer than Windhowl Town, and that it was home not only to homeless people but also to many bandits. For safety reasons, the mayor closed the west gate and said he would not associate with Raven Village.

It faces due south to the sea, with only one small gate leading to the shore.

Port gates are typically opened only when doing business with foreign ships.

After the mayor left, Avery even removed the guards from the north gate, partly to prevent refugees from coming to seek refuge, and partly to save on manpower costs.

Benjamin hurried through the gate he had crossed yesterday to reach the Black Swamp, which was now locked.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The town of Wind Howl was now like a closed island. How was he supposed to get his exorcist guide in?

But thinking about it, as an exorcist, he must also have special abilities to cross the city walls.

Cross Bond Street and you'll soon reach Vincent Street, where Lillian used to work.

Unlike Bond Street, Winnie the Pooh Street has no clanging of metal or pungent smoky smell.

The people who make a living on Winnie the Pooh Street dress more appropriately; if one had to make a comparison, Winnie the Pooh Street is like the only sanctuary in Windhowl.

Most of the people living there are relatively wealthy, a conclusion drawn in comparison to other parts of Windhowl Town.

Every year before the cold wave, these wealthy people leave Windhowl Town well in advance, and now, very few of them even return.

Strangely, despite the sparse population of Winnie Street and the fact that the sheriff's office is located on Mink Street, the mayor has deployed more guards and patrols on Winnie Street more frequently.

Therefore, the local thugs from Shizijie rarely caused trouble here in the past.

The only time I heard about it was when a few migrant vagrants were harassing Lillian on the street, and Benjamin's predecessor encountered them.

Eager to prove his self-taught exorcism skills, he started fighting with the three men without thinking.

The result was obvious, and from then on, Lillian looked at Benjamin with new respect.

I heard that the three thugs were later severely punished, beaten to a pulp, and their final destination is unknown.

Unbeknownst to him, Benjamin had arrived at Winnie the Pooh Street.

When you see the end of the street, the "Redwood Forest" sign, engraved in gilded gold, is still there.

Benjamin was filled with many thoughts.

If it weren't for that blanket and the money Lillian left behind, I wouldn't have had any strong feelings towards Lillian after transmigrating.

But strangely, even though he had never met Lillian in his current identity,

Yet he always remembered her, perhaps because Lillian was the first person who was genuinely kind to him.

The blanket she gave him, which stayed with him day and night, always haunted his dreams.

However, at this moment, the smell had never been so strong.

It felt like they were right next to me.

So strong.....

Ok?

Benjamin had stopped walking without realizing it. He stood there, sniffing the air, trying to find something.

This smell... it's definitely right!

In Windhowl, besides Lillian and the bookstore, where else can you find this smell?

Could it be a bookstore?

He frowned and looked in confusion at the bookstore window, which was about twenty meters away with its doors tightly closed. He could even see the dimly lit scene inside through the window.

Obviously, besides dust, there shouldn't be such a strong odor in the bookstore that can be smelled even across the street.

Ah! It's too strong.

Could it be because I miss you too much?

I never imagined that I would fall into a long-distance relationship after arriving in another world?

Surely it's not like I'm hallucinating?

*Clang!*

Excuse me.

Benjamin was startled when someone gently bumped his shoulder from behind.

The other person's voice was deep and somewhat androgynous, clearly indicating that they had deliberately lowered their voice.

The armored vehicle's voice was heavy, which was clearly abnormal; what townspeople in Windhowl Town would dress like that?

This mysterious guy just swaggered past me.

Moreover, she carried a rich fragrance, as if the scent of Lillian that I had smelled before was merely superficial, while this scent was the true essence.

How could this happen?!

There's no way I could be wrong; I fall asleep every night smelling this scent, so I can't be mistaken.

Benjamin stared at the figure in silver-gray armor a few steps ahead, unable to calm down for a long time. He slowly raised his hand, wanting to call out to the other person.

But when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she didn't know how to address her. Should she use "Feed"? Or "Sorry..." or just call her by her first name—Lillian?

When caught in an internal struggle, one finds it difficult to speak.

However, this person's figure is completely unlike Lillian's; she is taller and more slender.

Although wearing women's armor is not wrong...

but,

Tsk, Benjamin felt it was a pity.

Because the [Torture] option was chosen previously, the only talent available now is [Actor].

If it were a virtue, one could use caution to discern whether the other party is trying to scam them.

however,

Then Benjamin suddenly realized something was wrong.

The other party is clearly heading towards us!

It wasn't just because the other person's attire was strange, but also because of the familiar scent. Wasn't this a blatant attempt to lure her into a trap?

More importantly, Benjamin looked around.

Could this be any more obvious?

There are only the two of us on this street right now. Is it really necessary for him to just walk right past me?!

Thinking of this, Benjamin quickly checked his purse...
