Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 423 Admission
Before the agreed time, Duan Mingyuan completed the investigation of the parasite.

Without their targets to parasitize, these void creatures became just a few harmless fat bugs.

After absorbing the life energy, the appearance of the parasite changed significantly, from its original pitch-black state to a translucent white state. Its emotions were no longer agitated, and it regarded the glass container as its new home.

Duan Mingyuan speculated that the appearance of the parasite was most likely related to the type of energy it absorbed.

However, he was not comfortable leaving such an adult in the mansion, so he brought the glass container with him.

"Boom boom boom——"

There was a knock on the door at the right time. Jiuyue and Jinli had already dressed up. After an afternoon of racing games, the two became good friends who could talk about anything.

When he opened the door, Duan Mingyuan was slightly stunned.

Today, September is dressed like a medieval noblewoman, wearing elegant and luxurious clothes, which were carefully selected by the servants of the mansion.

There are large-scale sacrifices in the Holy City from time to time. During the sacrifices, every judge must wear appropriate attire and attend on time.

"Mr. Mingyuan, what do you think of this outfit?"

September puffed out her chest proudly and asked knowingly.

She knew she was very beautiful, and what she needed now was not evaluation but praise.

Baptism changed into a gorgeous clergy uniform, which wrapped her thin body tightly. But from her expression, it was not difficult to see that she did not like this bloated outfit, nor did she want her happy game time to be interrupted.

It was rare for her to have a full set of deluxe gaming equipment and to have good friends with whom she could play racing games. These two happy things should have brought her more happiness, but the choir once again ruined everything.

They are preparing a grand performance in the Holy City Cathedral. All the important people who come to the Holy City to attend the meeting tonight will attend the choir's performance. After the performance, the Pope has prepared a grand dinner for these guests who have come from afar.

Although the Holy City is caught in internal and external troubles, face-saving projects are still indispensable.

Therefore, even without Duan Mingyuan, as a judge of the church, she had to participate in that annoying choir performance.

But for Duan Mingyuan, this may be an opportunity.

After understanding the principles of the parasite, he can conduct an experiment.

Lower-level void creatures cannot disobey the orders of their superiors.

He could easily use this trait to confirm whether the Void Creatures had infiltrated the highest levels of the company as Billy suspected.

When the group arrived at the Holy City Cathedral, Duan Mingyuan finally saw truly excellent security measures for the first time in a long time.

With just a cursory look, he saw four Long Branch Guards patrolling the periphery. They must have known about the parasitic infection that had broken out in the Holy City, and everyone was on edge.

In addition to the Nagaeda Guards, you can also see clergy holding long staffs.

The combination of futuristic technological armor and retro clergy has a rather bizarre feel.

"Those people are the Holy City's staff-bearing team, professional fighters."

As they passed by, Baptism manipulated the eyeball robot and whispered an introduction.

She clenched her fists and her palms were sweaty.

There are so many people here, and there are so many new faces. Her social phobia has given her warnings many times.

She hid behind September, wishing she could get into September's furry tail and become one with it, so that no one would come up to talk to her.

After entering the Cathedral of Saint Metropolis, Baptism finally grabbed the corner of September's clothes and closed his eyes completely. You can't see me, you can't see me.

It was dark in front of her eyes, so other people probably couldn't see her either.

Unfortunately, the immersion prayer did not work. Before she took a few steps, a somewhat weird voice floated towards her.

"Hey, isn't this our Grand Inquisitor's baptism?"

The person who spoke was a young man in his twenties. He was standing with several clergymen wearing the same attire. When he saw Baptism following behind September, he came over on his own initiative.

They looked Duan Mingyuan and Jiuyue up and down. When they saw the tail behind Jiuyue, they were stunned at first, and then said in an exaggerated tone, "I know, this must be the Blue Star monster friend you know... Is this tail real? It looks very fluffy."

Hearing this, Jinli suddenly opened his eyes, took a step forward angrily, and stood in front of Jiuyue.

This action startled the young man. After a long pause, he said angrily, "We have all heard about Yelena. She has caused a lot of trouble to the church. There are also rumors that she stayed in your mansion for a whole day."

The young woman spoke very loudly on purpose, so people around her who had not noticed the baptism also cast inquiring glances at her.

This made Jinli, who was not used to being stared at, shrink his neck.

"Ignore him, let's go."

September pulled up Baptism's arm.

The last time they met, she had heard that Baptist's interpersonal relationships in the church were somewhat strained. Because she couldn't speak, she was often the target of teasing and bullying by others, and all the difficult tasks were thrown to her.

As for those people who took the initiative to cause trouble, Jiu Yue could only silently wish them well in her heart that they would trip over the stairs and knock out their front teeth while walking.

Her blessings are often fulfilled quickly.

As the three walked into the church's praise room, there was a commotion behind them.

Someone screamed.

For a while, the young man held his mouth, and blood flowed through the gaps between his fingers.

Jiu Yue covered her mouth and chuckled at Jin Li, "You see, this is the fate of people who like to stir up trouble."

The commotion attracted the attention of the guests in the Ceremony Room. Perhaps to strengthen security, the Ceremony Room was divided into areas, and each company's guest had an independent room. Duan Mingyuan looked up and saw the bigwigs on the second floor.

Although he knew nothing about these big shots, he could guess their identities from the armored Nagaeda guards in the VIP room.

Duan Mingyuan and the other two stayed in the public area on the first floor. They seemed out of place among the group of clergymen, and the surrounding Ashes Church believers also cast curious glances at them.

In theory, the choir's hymns are solemn and sacred, and this is not a place where pagans can enter casually.

"Mr. Mingyuan, I always feel that the atmosphere here is a little weird."

Jiu Yue looked around, then leaned close to Duan Mingyuan's ear and whispered, "I feel like I've seen this scene before. Maybe someone will suddenly appear from the crowd and assassinate or shoot the bigwigs of the company."

"Where have you seen it?"

Duan Mingyuan was a little surprised.

Could it be that the diligent and studious September has taught herself the wizard's art of prophecy and thus foresaw the changes that were about to happen?
“From the movies.”

September's tone was full of pride, "I think it's called 'Theater Shock'."
