I have a city in another world

Having extensive experience can help avoid many problems and reduce the chances of mistakes and accidents.

For example, at this moment, Yves, relying on his experience and intuition, judged that there was something wrong with the place where the hostages were being held.

The facts proved that his judgment was absolutely correct; this place was indeed a deadly trap.

If no one comes to the rescue, the hostages will remain imprisoned; if someone does come to the rescue, a violent explosion will occur.

Fortunately, no large number of people entered; only a divine servant was sent in to investigate. Otherwise, if this booby trap had been successfully activated, who knows how many casualties it would have caused.

As the fireworks soared into the sky, everyone was filled with anger. If Yves hadn't seen through the trap, another large group of people would probably have died.

"Those damned bastards!"

Some believers cursed under their breath, their eyes filled with murderous intent. Having been repeatedly targeted and attacked, their patience and bottom line had long since disappeared.

My only thought at that moment was to capture the enemy as quickly as possible and make them pay a heavy price.

As thick smoke and flames rose, the building collapsed with a roar, and at the same time, a figure rushed out.

It was the divine servant who was conducting the reconnaissance; he looked slightly disheveled, but that did not hinder his actions.

"There is a group of people trapped underground; they should still be alive."

The servant of the gods was not good at communicating; he was usually taciturn and even more sparing with words when he did communicate.

Fortunately, the situation was explained in just a few words.

The fact that the violent explosion just now failed to kill the kidnapped believers is indeed somewhat surprising.

Such a large-scale explosion was clearly intended to kill both the hostages and the rescuers, with absolutely no intention of holding back.

At that moment, ripples suddenly appeared above the explosion site, and an invisible force enveloped the fire scene.

In the blink of an eye, the raging flames suddenly went out, as if the oxygen that fueled the combustion had been removed.

Then rain began to fall, fast and heavy, truly astonishingly torrential.

The still-burning coke was extinguished by the sudden downpour, and wisps of blue smoke rose up.

"Go in and check quickly!"

Seeing the method used to extinguish the rain, Yves knew that the temple had intervened and that all safety hazards had been resolved.

At this point, it is imperative to take the lead and be the first to rush into the explosion site.

If we don't act now, when will we?
After rushing into the ruins, the group immediately began clearing and searching, and soon found a passage leading underground in the garbage.

In a short time, the entrance to the passage was cleared, and then everyone rushed in.

A bloody smell filled the air, and several corpses lay at the entrance of the passage, likely members of an armed group.

They didn't die from the explosion, but were killed by a single sword strike; the attacker must have been a divine servant who was conducting the investigation.

Passing through the passageway into the interior, there was another large hall, now in a state of disarray.

In the center of the hall, there is a deep crater, which should be the epicenter of the explosion.

There should be a bomb placed in the center of the hall, surrounded by a group of kidnapped messengers and believers.

The terrifying power of the explosion was enough to tear a person to pieces, and the inside of the body would rot into mud under the influence of the shockwave.

Not only were their bodies torn apart, but they were also barely clothed, and the state of their remains was extremely gruesome.

But looking around the blast site, a group of believers were unharmed. Apart from their terrified and disheveled expressions, they hadn't suffered any injuries.

Even the dust from the explosion didn't fall on them, as if they were completely shielded from it.

This was absolutely not a coincidence, but rather an intervention by external forces that saved the lives of a group of hostages.

Everyone immediately realized that this was a divine intervention to save people, and they cheered excitedly.

The miracles witnessed firsthand deeply moved the believers, who now believe that divine beings will protect them in times of danger.

Little did they know that this situation was actually a form of special care; normally, if they encountered such an attack, they would have no chance of survival.

There's no need for excessive explanation; let people understand and feel it for themselves. Forcing a definition of something is a mistake.

The idea, if spread by many, will obviously have a better effect. "Quickly save them! Get the injured to the temple!"

Although they weren't torn to pieces, everyone was in poor condition; over 90% were unconscious or injured.

The injuries were sustained earlier, likely during the kidnapping, and several of the victims are in critical condition.

The men in black robes who participated in the kidnapping clearly did not intend to leave any survivors, and naturally would not provide any medical treatment to the injured.

As the injured were being taken outside, the large, humanoid birds descended to assist in transporting them.

They have humanoid bodies, but are nearly three meters tall and have a strong, muscular physique.

Especially the muscles in its chest, which are probably nearly half a meter thick, make it extremely powerful when flapping its wings.

The humanoid bird had six arms. After embracing the injured person, it soared into the sky and flew rapidly towards the temple.

For those whose injuries are not serious, the accompanying divine messengers chant incantations to draw life energy from the plants for healing.

Upon seeing that one of the women was conscious, Yves immediately went up to her and asked her what was wrong.

"Tell me in detail what happened, without omitting anything."

The female believer being questioned was Mina, who had just escaped danger.

Mina looked at the monk in front of her and confirmed that he was a formal wizard; his special aura was impossible to erase.

To be a wizard and yet become a lackey of an evil god is indeed a shameful act.

However, life is unpredictable, and everyone has their own destiny. In order to go higher and further, cultivators often have to make various choices.

For example, those wild wizards, if they don't do some illegal and disorderly things, they simply can't obtain enough resources for cultivation.

The various wizarding organizations, large and small, control the vast majority of cultivation resources, making it extremely difficult to progress unless one seeks an alternative path.

Even though Mina comes from a legitimate wizarding organization, they cannot guarantee her a supply of resources and she also faces fierce competition.

If given sufficient resources, Mina would definitely choose to retreat into seclusion and focus on her cultivation rather than risk her life to carry out a mission.

The rewards she received were all hard-earned money, some of which she even had to risk her life for.

If Mina were to truly reach a dead end, and if someone could provide sufficient resources for her cultivation, she would not hesitate to join them.

The thought flashed through his mind, but he remained outwardly calm and recounted what had just happened.

Yves listened intently, while simultaneously analyzing the situation to pinpoint the culprit.

Little did they know that at that moment, the female believer on the other side had already identified the real culprit.

According to Mina's analysis, there is a greater than 90% chance that the mastermind behind it all is a Descendant like herself.

The target of the possession is likely a member of an armed group with certain authority.

The other party used their position to recruit a large number of armed personnel to launch attacks on believers and divine messengers.

Perhaps they wanted to use this method to provoke conflict between the temple and armed groups, so as to reap the benefits.

If the operation succeeds, some people will inevitably take the opportunity to stir up trouble and contact various forces to attack the temple.

To achieve their goals, the Descendants will stop at nothing and do not care how much sacrifice is made.

Mina noticed something amiss and realized that the other party wanted to use her as bait to launch an attack on the temple personnel who were coming to rescue them.

If the operation succeeds, I will certainly not escape death.

In the critical moment, Mina immediately shouted out a code word to reveal her identity to the other party.

She noticed that when the code was shouted, a man in black robes reacted, glancing at her with lightning speed.

However, after that one glance, there was no further reaction.

Mina felt a chill in her heart, realizing she had encountered a cold-blooded person who didn't want to reveal her identity and even wanted to take the opportunity to eliminate her competitors.

Indeed, when interests are involved, one needs to be wary not only of enemies, but also of one's own allies. (End of Chapter)
