I traverse America, using holy light to quell American terror!

"Servants? What are those?"

Samara looked at Li Yuan with a puzzled expression.

"Just think of it as a contract."

Li Yuan gave a concise explanation, then emphasized:

"If you say you're willing to become my servant, I can take you away."

Samara was overjoyed and quickly moved closer to Li Yuan, replying:

"I'm willing! I'll do anything you ask, as long as you can take me away!"

"If you're willing, then things will be much easier."

Li Yuan smiled meaningfully.

Then, he reached out his other hand and placed it on Samara's forehead.

He asked in a solemn tone:

"Now, I am formally extending an invitation to you."

Samara, would you be willing to become my servant?

Feeling the large hand covering my head

Samara, whose mind was full of calculations, couldn't help but feel a slight sense of fear.

She lowered her eyes and replied in a trembling voice:

"I...do."

"Buzz—"

The instant Samara finished speaking,

A dazzling holy light suddenly emanated from the two people at the wellhead.

The entire No. 12 cabin was bathed in light, making it appear as if it were daytime.

Samara was terrified as she faced the holy light that enveloped her.

But these holy lights did not cause her any harm whatsoever.

Instead, Samara felt a sense of warmth.

[Ding! The other party is willing to become your servant. Conversion successful!]

[Servant Loyalty 20/100 (Note: Even if a servant's loyalty drops to 0, the servant will not harm the host, but it will affect the experience gained by the servant from killing monsters!)]

[Note: The Holy Light and experience points gained by your servants when they slay evil creatures will be credited to your host!]

[Please select three abilities to bestow upon the other party!]

Upon seeing the loyalty rating, Li Yuan was startled.

Although he guessed that Samara was not very willing to become his servant,

But I never expected his loyalty to him to be so low.

However, Li Yuan was not worried.

Once the conversion is successful, the other party will be unable to disobey their orders.

With this in mind, Li Yuan selected three weaker skills for Samara.

These are [Holy Light], [Sense Evil Creatures], and [Cleanse].

As the skill selection was completed, the surrounding holy light instantly receded and surged into Samara's brow.

It transformed into a pair of small, golden wings and slowly disappeared into her body.

Sensing the changes in her soul, Samara slowly opened her eyes.

He stared at Li Yuan in shock.

"you......"

Samara was about to speak when he seemed to realize that such a form of address was somewhat inappropriate.

He then changed his tune and said:

"Big brother, who exactly are you?"

Just as Li Yuan was about to answer, he saw Keller in the room, whose holy light had subsided.

He asked with some concern, "Your Excellency, are you alright?"

Li Yuan shouted upwards:

"I'm fine, don't worry, I'll be up in a bit."

As he spoke, Li Yuan turned to Samara and explained with a smile:

"Just think of me as the embodiment of holy light."

Samara, I'm going to check on your remains.

Upon hearing that he was to move his own body, Samara nodded happily.

She fell back into the well water, guiding Li Yuan in the right direction.

Seeing this, Li Yuan shouted to Keller above:

"Keller, throw the rope down!"

The rope had already been tied by Noah, so Li Yuan just happened to have one ready-made.

"Okay! I'll throw the rope down right now!"

A moment later, Keller dropped a bundle of rope.

Li Yuan threw the rope into the well, then pulled out the Hell Detective who had crawled into his collar and placed him beside the well.

"You stay here and wait patiently, don't run around, okay?"

Hellstalker tilted his head back and glanced at the well opening.

It jumped aside in disgust; this little guy hates water the most.

Li Yuan chuckled and shook his head, then grabbed the rope and quickly slid down to the bottom of the well.

In the well water, Samara pointed to the skeletons at the bottom and said softly:

"Big brother, my body is right there."

Li Yuan nodded, held his breath, and dived directly to the bottom of the well.

Soon they saw Samara's body, which showed no signs of decay.

The corpse remained exactly as she was when she was alive, which reminded Li Yuan of...

The events that occur when Keller retrieves Samara's body in the story.

Once a Samara body is removed from the water, it decomposes into a rotten skeleton.

Once brought out of the ancient well, one's strength will be significantly enhanced.

With that in mind, Li Yuan decided to offer the other party a promise.

He pointed upwards toward Samara.

Instead of retrieving Samara's body directly, they swam straight up to it.

"Splash—"

Li Yuan surfaced and took a deep breath.

He said to Samara, who looked puzzled:

I think it's better not to fish it out.

Perhaps, I'll have the ability to resurrect you someday.

Li Yuan's statement wasn't entirely empty promises.

As a paladin, you should have a resurrection skill.

It's just that I haven't gotten it yet.

However, Samara was completely stunned upon hearing this.

This was the first time she had ever heard of someone being able to resurrect the dead.

However, she showed little emotional reaction after hearing that she might be resurrected.

Samara whispered to Li Yuan:

"Actually, there's no need to go through all that trouble. I don't really want to be resurrected."

Samara's answer surprised Li Yuan:

"Why do you say that? Isn't it good to be yourself?"

Samara gently shook his head and murmured:

"I hate my past self."

Thinking of Samara's past experiences,

Li Yuan subconsciously reached out and ruffled Samara's wet hair:

"You didn't do anything wrong, and you don't need to hate your past self."

Samara should live in this world as Samara.

Instead of some other worthless identity.

[Ding! Servant loyalty +80! Loyalty: 100/100]

Samara slowly raised her head, and a few tears rolled down her already wet face.

Her originally pale and swollen face gradually transformed into the appearance of a normal girl.

"Thank you, big brother."

This is the first time anyone has ever said something like that to me.

Samara was very grateful for Li Yuan's comfort.

She glanced at her own corpse lying at the bottom of the well and said softly:

"Then let it stay here. We'll take it out when my older brother can revive me."

"Okay, it's settled then."

Li Yuan glanced at the corpse in the well water and said softly:

"Let it stay here."

As he spoke, Li Yuan reached out and tugged at the rope, saying to Samara:

"Let's go, let's leave here together."

Then, a human and a ghost,

He then slowly climbed out along the slippery well wall.

Along the way, Li Yuan also saw the scratch marks on the well wall.

These were probably left behind by Samara when they escaped.

Li Yuan climbed over the well opening, turned around, and reached out his hand to Samara inside the well.

His soul was finally able to leave the ancient well.

Samara was overjoyed. She smiled and reached for Li Yuan's hand, intending to leave the cage.

Just then, the well wall suddenly cracked open!

Countless black arms suddenly stretched out and tightly wrapped around Samara's body!
