My mom is waiting for treatment, and you're summoning me to be a hero?

Xiao Mo, my son:

They all say you ran away, that you took the money for Mom's medical treatment and didn't come back, but Mom doesn't believe it.

I know my son.

You must have your own reasons.

Forget about the money, and forget about Mom.

When you're out there, make sure to protect yourself and stay safe.

As long as you're okay, I don't care what happens to Mom.

……

The handwriting was a little crooked because my mom's hands were trembling.

Every word seemed to have been written with all of Mom's strength:

Upon seeing this, Lin Mo's tears flowed again.

He wanted to keep watching, to etch every word his mother said into his heart.

However, at that moment, a pulling sensation suddenly came.

He immediately understood what had happened from that familiar feeling.

Ten minutes have passed.

"Give me just one more minute! Just one minute! Let me finish watching!"

Lin Mo roared madly in his heart.

Consciousness desperately tries to hold onto the scene before it.

But reality is cold and unforgiving.

The scene before my eyes.

The father's hunched back.

My mother's unfinished letter...

Everything started to become blurry.

Ultimately, it was completely swallowed by darkness.

……

My consciousness was suddenly pulled back.

A wave of intense dizziness and a profound sense of loss overwhelmed Lin Mo instantly.

He suddenly opened his eyes.

Before me was the tavern's simple ceiling.

Beneath me was a soft bed.

"Have you finished your 10 minutes?"

Lin Mo murmured.

He felt his face was wet and subconsciously wiped it away before realizing it was his tears.

After realizing what had happened, the memories of what I had observed earlier resurfaced.

Lin Mo felt a sudden tightness in his chest.

Ten minutes is still too short; I must continue to get stronger to extend the time.

Just as he was thinking this, he heard a cacophony of voices around him.

These are adventurers drinking in the tavern.

These sounds disrupted Lin Mo's thoughts.

His brows furrowed, and a murderous intent unconsciously emanated from him.

If it weren't for that damn summoning circle...

If it weren't for the damn rules of this world!

My mother's condition wouldn't have worsened, and she wouldn't have written that letter.

My dad won't go gray overnight and have to endure those vicious comments!

The noisy conversations and clinking of glasses downstairs sounded incredibly jarring at that moment.

What gives these people from another world the right to live peacefully here, drinking and making merry?

Kill them all.

This idea grew wildly like a poisonous ivy.

Kill everyone in the tavern.

Kill everyone on the street.

Kill all those charlatans in the church.

Slaughter all those arrogant fellows in the city lord's mansion...

I will grow stronger with their blood and souls, and then return to my parents' side...

Just as his murderous intent was almost solidifying, his fingers cracked from clenching his fist.

A faint yet clear fluctuation of soul energy appeared suddenly and abruptly, diluting his boiling killing intent.

Lin Mo turned his head and saw that the sound was coming from the backpack on the bed.

It was that spider egg that had not yet hatched.

That fluctuation was very immature.

With unease and a hint of dependence, it was as if she were calling out to him.

It was as if she was cautiously asking him what was wrong.

This pure connection of life was like a bucket of ice water, extinguishing the evil fire in his heart that wanted to destroy everything.

Lin Mo took a deep breath.

The cold air filled his lungs, calming his manic emotions slightly.

Now is not the time to let anger cloud your judgment.

Mindless killing not only fails to solve problems, but also creates more problems.

I need to calm down and think about what I can do.

He forced himself to sit down and began to sort out his chaotic thoughts.

The goal is to return to the original world and save his mother.

The only way to return to that world is through Yin Xue.

Become stronger, level up, and restore Yin Xue's power.

My most pressing task right now is to break through the level 20 bottleneck.

It is about obtaining the right Beast King Essence to break through the bottleneck.

But even if they reach level 30 or 50, according to Yin Xue, it can only extend the observation time.

What's the point of watching for longer?

Are you just going to watch your mother's condition worsen and be powerless to do anything about it?

No, we must find a more direct method!

The doctor's words echoed in my mind.

"My mother's condition has worsened because of my disappearance; she needs to recover before she can have surgery..."

"After surgery, targeted therapy will be needed to maintain..."

"Targeted therapy... targeted therapy..."

……

medicine!

As Yin Xue mentioned before, alchemy has various effects.

Maybe there's a cure for Mom in this world?

Lin Mo's eyes suddenly lit up.

According to Yin Xue, at level 100, she could briefly tear through space and send him back for a period of time.

Then... before I reach level 100, could I ask her to send the smaller version of the medicine back?

Even just sending some medicine to alleviate my mother's symptoms and help her regain the strength to undergo surgery would be helpful!

This idea instantly ignited hope.

Even if they can't return immediately, they should at least do something.

His spirits lifted, and he immediately wanted to ask Yin Xue a question.

But looking around the room, where was that little devil?

Even Ottomu is gone.

Lin Mo frowned, his mind racing, and he used the soul connection to sense Yin Xue's location.

"Huh? Why did she go to church alone?"

……

Meanwhile, in the center of Mingbei City, inside that tall, solemn, greyish-white church.

The once solemn and dignified prayer hall now had an eerie atmosphere.

On the stone ground in front of the altar, a middle-aged man dressed in a priest's robe lay lying.

His eyes were wide open, but he was already lifeless, and blood was splattered all over the ground.

The candlesticks around were still burning.

But the candlelight had somehow turned dark red, casting a blood-red and eerie glow over the entire hall.

Ottmu stood a few steps away from the priest's body, still wearing that gentle smile.

However, a hint of worry was visible in the eyes of the puppet beast tucked under his arm.

In the center of the hall, crimson blood floated in the air.

Before her floated a fist-sized ball of dark red light that constantly wriggled and changed shape.

It emanates a soul fluctuation that is of the same origin as Yin Xue.

This is precisely a fragment of her soul that was sealed here!

Yin Xue stretched out her small hand and gently touched the red light with her fingertips.

The red light, like water finding its home, quickly spread along her arm and finally merged completely into her body.

After completely absorbing the soul fragment, Yin Xue's small body trembled slightly.

The aura emanating from his body had noticeably increased.

A few seconds later, she opened her eyes, her blood-red pupils gleaming with a mixture of dissatisfaction and greed.

"Too weak... It's been purified too much, leaving it with only this much power. But..."

She then looked at the tightly closed church doors, as if she could see through the thick wood to the outside.

"However, there will be fresh blood of heroes to absorb soon, which should make up for some of the losses."

Just then—

boom!

The church's two heavy oak doors were suddenly pushed open from the outside!

Moonlight streamed in, tearing a hole in the blood-red hall.

Three figures appeared at the doorway, standing against the light.

They were dressed in civilian clothes, but the weapons they gripped tightly gleamed with a pure and dazzling light.

It is the Holy Armor of Light!

Leading the group was none other than Zhou Buyan, the hero who had casually discarded the puppet monster and called himself "Jojo."

He was accompanied by a man and a woman.

The man was tall and wielded a battle axe, while the woman held a staff and looked wary.

The three of them were stunned the moment they saw the scene inside the church.

They completely ignored Otmu, their eyes fixed on Yin Xue.

A moment later, Zhou Buyan spoke first: "As expected! I knew this guy was no ordinary person back at the casino! His stupid act during the day was just an act, wasn't it? He's a spy from the Demon Clan!"
