I am a necromancer, and I absolutely love America.

Calvin approached Richard:

"How are you feeling?"

He valued this boy from Dongda University very much.

There was a strange light in the other person's eyes, which confirmed to him that he had found a sacred feeling.

It was an indescribable feeling, one I'd only ever seen in the Popes of the Vatican.

No, even the Pope's eyes are not as bright as Richard's!

This is a treasure that God has given me, and I must bring it into the Lord's flock!

However, Richard's aloofness bothered Calvin.

"Don't rush things. Richard is a gem from the land of the faithless; we can't rush him," Calvin thought to himself.

Richard said devoutly:

"I really like this place. It makes me feel very peaceful. After I graduate from university, I will join the Catholic Church. I wasn't in a hurry before, but now I'm actually a little impatient."

Calvin smiled with satisfaction:

"No, faith and academic studies are not mutually exclusive. What university do you want to apply to? If needed, I can provide you with a letter of recommendation. You know, believers of the Lord are everywhere, and the Lord's light shines on His shepherds."

Richard said:

Princeton.

"Princeton..." Calvin said awkwardly.

This is too difficult for the priest in the chapel.

……

The night was dark.

Richard, dressed in all black, arrived alone outside the church. He parked his car some distance away and walked over, without feeling any surveillance along the way.

BG Gang has stopped keeping an eye on me lately. I don't know if they've given up or if they've figured out my patterns of action and are plotting something.

Richard climbed over the church wall and, after some time, had a very clear understanding of the situation there.

Father Calvin's sleep schedule is very regular; he goes to bed promptly at 11 p.m. every day.

The church security guard was an elderly man who spent all his time sleeping in his room and never patrolled.

There should be some homeless people on the benches in the main hall.

However, they strictly followed the church rules and never dared to run around, exchanging obedience for a place to rest and shelter from the wind and rain.

Richard, familiar with the place, arrived at the iron gate of the clock tower and opened it with the key.

After being unlocked by the magic hand once, he clearly remembered the internal structure and the length of the gears, so he spent a little money to have a key made.

In short, save as much magic as you can.

Click, the lock opened.

Richard moved the clutter in the stairwell, passed through the passage, entered the ancient cemetery, and arrived at the ossuary.

Last time, he planted a vine in each of the two bone pits.

Now, the Netherworld Soul-Devouring Vine has grown to over 1 meter tall, winding around the stone pillar and climbing upwards, with two strange white flowers blooming on each vine.

The white flower's material and color resemble bones, and its shape, at first glance, looks like a wailing ghost face, which is very eerie.

It sensed the death mage aura emanating from Richard, and its face contorted into a smile, as if in homage.

The surrounding area was filled with white bones, all of which had turned to dust and disappeared, leaving a large open space.

The roots of the vines, like the tentacles of a giant sponge octopus, burrowed deep into the skeleton.

From being as thin as a hair at the beginning, it has now grown to the thickness of a thumb, and is deeply intertwined within the soul bone.

The pile of bones in the skeletal pit has clearly been significantly reduced, and it is at least 1 meter shorter than before.

The deathly aura has dissipated considerably compared to last time.

"They actually used up so many bones?"

Richard frowned slightly.

The amount of bones consumed to cultivate the Netherworld Soul-Devouring Vine far exceeded expectations.

At this rate of consumption, at most eight or nine Netherworld Soul-Devouring Vines would devour all the bones, and these vines are still growing, so they might consume even more.

Richard observed carefully and found the seed among the white flower with the ghost face.

Each flower produces only one seed, for a total of four.

Richard picked the seeds and planted two more in the pile of bones.

Richard put away the remaining two seeds, and with the ones left over from last time, he now had three Netherworld Soul-Devouring Vine seeds. His magic power was finally sufficient to deal with any trouble!

......

David walked out of the hospital in a daze.

He just had a vial of blood drawn, some skin tissue taken from behind his ear, and a tuft of hair taken. Although it did not cause any physical harm, he is under tremendous psychological pressure.

He always had a sense of unease, feeling like he could become a guinea pig at any moment, thrown onto the operating table and sliced ​​up.

It's all Richard's fault, that bastard!

David cursed in his heart.

If it weren't for that kid, I would still be a good quarterback, and my family wouldn't be so in debt, forced to sign this damn volunteer agreement!

He wandered aimlessly through the streets and unknowingly walked into a secluded and deserted neighborhood.

It was daytime, and David wasn't very nervous.

Suddenly, a car screeched to a halt in front of him, and the door was flung open!

David sensed something was wrong and turned to run, but a masked man had already pointed a gun at him and shouted:

"If you run, I'll kill you!"

"Don't kill me!" David decisively raised his hands and knelt on the ground.

"I have no money! I'm just a student!"

He was almost in tears. What a mess this is!

Ever since he fought with Richard, he felt that his life had changed.

The life of an urban student has turned into wilderness survival, and the person in question is the prey being chased by the hunter.

In his more than ten years of life, this was the first time someone had made him urinate on him, the first time someone had filmed him in an embarrassing way and posted it on social media, the first time he had been a guinea pig on an operating table, and the first time he had gone to a bar and been threatened by two black men. If the police hadn't arrived in time, he would have been forced to take drugs...

Today was the first time I was robbed in the street!

"I have no money!" he yelled. "I'm just a poor student! You can take my bag! And my phone!"

"Get in! Now!" the other party shouted coldly.

"Huh?" David was dumbfounded.

Isn't this robbery?

Two men rushed down, grabbed him, shoved him into the car, tied his hands and feet behind his back with plastic cable ties, and blindfolded him with a black cloth.

"Don't kill me! Help!"

"Shut up, you white pig!"

A barrage of punches rained down on David, making him howl in pain and no longer daring to call for help.

He endured the terrifying darkness for 20-30 minutes before the car finally stopped in one place.

David was dragged out of the car, and when the blindfold was pulled off, he found himself in a room.

It was pitch black all around, with only a blinding searchlight shining directly at him.

David ducked his head to avoid the light, trembling all over.

Several gang members stood vaguely in the darkness, their faces obscured.

A gang member with a skull mask covering his face stepped forward.

A tear was tattooed at the corner of his eye, a mark of someone who had killed.

"Don't kill me..." David was terrified.

"Relax," the man with the skull mask asked coldly.

"I'm only asking you a few questions, and I'll let you go if you tell the truth. Did Richard make you pee yourself?"

Upon hearing this, David momentarily forgot his fear.

What kind of nonsense is this?

How come the whole world knows that Richard made me piss myself?

But he dared not argue, and could only agree with a mournful face.

This made him feel incredibly humiliated, and he clearly saw the mocking looks on the faces of the gang members opposite him.

The man with the skull mask continued:

"You have a grudge against Richard, so nothing will happen to you. Don't worry."

Huh? Is he Richard's enemy?!

David breathed a sigh of relief.

Why did Richard offend this gang of members?

Could it be... revenge from the BG gang?

He wasn't stupid; he quickly thought of the Stinger Bar.

However, he dared not reveal it and could only pretend not to know. If he revealed the other party's identity, he might be silenced.

The man with the skull mask plays with the knife in his hand:

"I have a question for you, answer honestly and I'll let you go! A while ago, Richard rescued a congressman named Brian Anderson, is that true?"

The BG gang could deal with a Tokyo University exchange student, but they would never want to involve a member of the House of Representatives, as that would cause them a lot of trouble.

They only discovered Richard had a contact with Brian during their investigation, which startled them; otherwise, they would have taken action a few days ago.
