This isn't a souls-like game at all.

"Then it's yours." Ye Yiyi winked at her cunningly, turned the double-headed axe back into a hammer head, and stuffed it into the female knight's hands.

"Thank you!"

Bai Yu held the hammer and axe and spoke to Ye Yiyi seriously.

"For you, I will use this weapon well!"

"What do you mean by for me..." Ye Yiyi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "Don't do it for me, do it for yourself!"

The female knight didn't answer, but just hugged her mace a little tighter.

About half an hour later, Ye Yiyi quietly pushed open the door of the room, turned his head to look outside, then walked into the corridor silently and closed the door.

"Then let me see what the Earth Mother Cult has hidden in the church."

Chapter 227 [Phantom Dust] and the Son of Cyber

After making sure that there were no members of the Earth Mother Goddess Cult monitoring the corridor, Ye Yiyi immediately followed the same path he came from and came to the stairs.

Looking at the stairs leading deeper underground, Ye Yiyi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

“Wait a minute, the hairless cat said we can’t go to the upper floors of the church and the towering tree, but he didn’t say we can’t go further down, right?

"What's going on down here?"

Since the cat man didn't say anything, it means it's not prohibited to go there.

He thought for a moment, then walked up the stairs and down.

"Ah woo~"

Halfway up the stairs, Ye Yiyi stopped and crouched down vigilantly.

He heard the cat-man yawn.

Squatting at the corner of the stairs and looking forward, a straight corridor and the steel gate at the end of the corridor suddenly came into view.

Next to the steel gate, there were two cat-man knights with rapiers hanging on their waists standing guard.

"Maybe this is one of the roads leading to the underground ruins..." he quickly came to the conclusion.

After all, they live on the upper floor. Since they can't go anywhere else, they should go directly underground from here.

"Has everyone here tonight arrived yet?"

"They're already here, meow. This is the team led by Wator, meow."

While Ye Yiyi was thinking, he suddenly heard footsteps and voices coming from the stairs above his head.

"Fuck... What a coincidence?!" His expression darkened.

The floors below may not be prohibited for people to come, but if someone finds out, it will probably arouse suspicion.

Then the subsequent stealth will be difficult.

"Watol again? If I remember correctly, this is the eleventh time he has come here, right?"

"Yeah, I have to say that guy is really lucky, meow."

The footsteps stopped on the upper floor, and the two people who were talking happened to be staying in the corridor.

Judging from the voices, one is a cat person and the other is a human.

And the cat man happens to be that hairless cat.

What a coincidence.

Ye Yiyi rolled her eyes, looked around, and then saw the portrait hanging on the wall, her eyes lit up.

"Lucky? I don't think so." The man's voice was filled with contempt.

"I've looked at his records. He's made ten dives, and the entire team was wiped out in the first seven. He was the only one who survived... Do you think it was just luck?"

"I don't care, meow~"

The Hairless Cat Knight said indifferently:

"Perhaps he orchestrated the deaths of his teammates in order to pocket all the rewards... But, every time, Wator surrendered more than 10 hyphae, which is several times more than other bounty hunter teams.

"He's very efficient, and the bishop is very satisfied. Our progress has also been greatly accelerated because of him."

"Speaking of progress, where are we now?"

The man lowered his voice, and the footsteps sounded again, walking down the stairs.

"The cultivation of the fungus has been successful, and it's growing well. The first three strains have entered the developmental stage and have been taken to other cities for testing.

"If everything goes well for Wattol this time, the fourth plant will enter its growth phase tomorrow."

"That's good."

The Hairless Cat Knight accompanied a man in a red woolen coat, a top hat and a monocle down the stairs to the lower level.

"And those two newcomers," the man suddenly mentioned, "would you like to check their background?"

"Only living people are qualified to be investigated, meow~" The Hairless Cat Knight smiled sinisterly, "If I can still see them tomorrow..."

As the conversation died down, the creaking sound of a steel door opening and closing could be heard from the end of the corridor.

In the empty stairwell, the portrait hanging on the wall suddenly trembled, and then in a flash of gray light, it turned into a living person.

"Cultivating bacteria? And getting test results from other cities?"

Ye Yiyi frowned, thinking about the conversation he had overheard, and his expression gradually became strange.

"I knew this was no simple matter. Now it seems that this group of people are indeed causing trouble!"

He took out the painting from the four-dimensional chrysanthemum, hung it back on the wall, and then walked up the stairs.

"Although the purpose is unclear, members of the Earth Mother Cult are using sclerotia obtained from underground ruins to cultivate fungi.

"The fourth fungus strain will be ready tomorrow. That thing might be on the upper floor of the church. I have to look for it and see what it is!"

Ye Yiyi's expression was somewhat solemn.

Using the sclerotium that can produce fungal zombies to cultivate a plant, you know without even thinking about it that the fungus is not a good thing.

And since we want to conduct the experiment, why do we have to take it to other cities?

It is obvious that he is guilty and afraid that the impact will be discovered by bounty hunters who have been to the ruins.

"Damn it, why are there always people seeking death?!" He couldn't help but curse in his heart.

When he reached the stairs, he took out the invisibility wand and the phantom powder from his windbreaker.

The former is a magic catalyst he found in the body of the mimic monster in Garden Village. It is used to cast attack magic, but the damage is too low, but it can greatly increase the casting speed.

He had previously avoided the sight of those two people by using the concealment short staff to perform [Mimicry].

The phantom powder was one of the props he bought from the Moon Mystic Workshop for stealth.

【Phantom Dust】

Item Description: A gray dust once used by the magicians of the Hidden Palace.

Splashing towards the sky, bathing in the falling dust,

It can temporarily weaken one's sense of presence.

But those with keen senses can still detect the moving presence.

It is said that this is a prop used in conjunction with [Offset Light].

Can make the stealth spy disappear completely.

"Kit Kat Workshop is fucking outrageous!"

Ye Yiyi said in his heart, holding a handful of powder and throwing it into the air. As the powder fell, his body was covered by a layer of light gray mist.

"How dare they sell something like this? Aren't these magicians really afraid that someone will use this thing as a magic killer? Or have they completely become capitalists?"

Ye Yiyi complained silently, confirmed his condition, and then used the short staff of concealment to cast a layer of [Silence] on himself to completely eliminate the sound.

It's a pity that I don't have [Deflection Beam], so I can't be truly invisible, but for now I can only make do with it.

Holding the short stick in his hand, he bent over and walked out of the stairs along the corner. As soon as he raised his head, his expression suddenly froze.

Not far away, two men wearing the same knight uniform as the cat knight came towards them, chatting and laughing.

Ye Yiyi clenched the short stick in his hand and squatted in the corner, not daring to move. The tension in his heart almost overflowed.

"How's your marriage to that girl going?"

"Don't even mention it. Her father complained that I didn't have a house in Saint Pegasus. That old bastard! House prices in Saint Pegasus are sky-high! With my current salary, I can't afford to buy one in fifty years!"

"Then why don't you take out a loan? Doesn't the Imperial Bank have a policy of reducing interest rates on installments?"

"Am I sick?! I'm going to be in debt for the rest of my life just for a woman?"

"Then you won't chase me anymore?"

"I've been dating her for six years, and I really can't bear to give up. But I need to think carefully about the loan..."

The two knights walked away without even lowering their heads, and did not notice Ye Yiyi squatting in the corner.

"Get married, flip real estate, and pay off the fucking mortgage?"

Ye Yiyi cursed in his heart, damn son of cyborg, coming to the border to play this trick, right?

Sooner or later, your ashes will be scattered!

"Marry your mother, and I'll have the money to have fun for the rest of my life, right?"

Muttering softly, Ye Yiyi bent over and moved slowly forward.

Although there are too many flaws, the effect of the phantom dust is still great. The two knights were less than two meters away from him at their closest!

But even so, the other party still didn't notice her.

"It's a pity that I don't have any way to eliminate the smell at the moment...otherwise it would be perfect."

Soon, he groped his way to the grand staircase in the side hall of the church, which led to the upper floors of the church.

There are two cat-man knights stationed above the stairs, one is hairless and the other has a short blue coat, standing there on the left and the right like door gods.

"Not very good, we'll be discovered right away if we go up like this."

Ye Yiyi pondered for a moment in the corner and looked at the marble pillar not far away.

Skill trait: Ghostly (20), which allows him to crawl on rough rocks and walls.

But the marble columns before him were too smooth, and there was no place to hold on to.

He frowned and looked up at the second-floor corridors on both sides of the hall, which were less than four meters high.

"At this height, the Power can jump up directly, but if the movement is too big, the cat people will easily notice us. It seems we need to divert their attention first."

Ye Yiyi smiled. Coincidentally, he had a spell in his spell slot that could divert other people's attention.

He quietly took out the short staff, and the tip of the staff flashed with light, and the magic [Homesickness] was activated.

On the wall behind the two cat-man knights, above the huge portrait of the towering tree, a faint starlight suddenly lit up.

The cat knight fell into a trance, turned around slowly, then came to the portrait and looked up blankly.

The magic worked!

Ye Yiyi was delighted and quickly switched to the Power. Then he jumped and quietly came to the corridor on the second floor.

The corridor was empty and led deeper into the church.

Ye Yiyi leaned over and glanced at the two knights, observing their condition. Until the starlight on the portrait disappeared, the two cat people not only did not notice anything unusual, they even started talking to each other.

"I don't know why, meow, but I just thought of my mom."

"I also thought about my two kittens. I haven't saved enough money for their schooling this year."

"No, meow? Could it be that those two of yours go to public school?"

"Yeah, it's the Cui Lengbai Public School branch, meow. The tuition is tens of thousands a year!"

"You're so willing to do this. Is it really that difficult to raise a kitten?"

"You'll know when you give birth to puppies, meow."
