I work as a sorcerer in the US, and my side hustle is building Gundams.

"Danbala has clearly stated who this despicable traitor is?"

Caribou's voice was icy cold and filled with overwhelming killing intent. He stood up abruptly, his aura so low it was frightening. His underlings around him instinctively lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

Lynn didn't call out names directly. Instead, she picked up a bowl of spring water, walked to the center of the five-pointed star, and sprinkled the water on the sugared apples.

Water droplets fell on the apple's surface, reflecting the flickering firelight. He spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of mystery:

"Danbala has water as his eyes, which can see into people's hearts. The person who poisons must be hiding fear and greed in his heart. As long as you pour this bowl of clean water on him, Danbala's divine power will make him reveal himself and the poison marks will be immediately visible."

As he spoke, he picked up the bowl of spring water, his gaze slowly sweeping over the crowd surrounding the formation, finally settling on Moreno.

At this moment, his face was pale, his eyes were darting around, and his legs were trembling slightly. He wished he could hide behind the crowd immediately!

Moreno was in a state of extreme panic. He was only thinking of letting Carib slowly take effect, and then pretending it was a backlash from the evil poison.

Unexpectedly, a white witch doctor suddenly appeared and saw through his poisoning method at a glance!

"You, come here."

Lynn pointed at Moreno.

His voice wasn't loud, but it was like a thunderclap that exploded in Moreno's ears.

Moreno froze, instinctively shaking his head and taking a step back.

"No...it wasn't me, witch doctor, you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm just a henchman, how could I dare to lay a hand on the boss..."

Before he could finish speaking, Francisco stepped forward, grabbed him by the collar, dragged him to the center of the formation, slammed him hard onto the cowhide, and then slapped him across the face, drawing blood from his mouth.

"The boss has treated you well, how dare you do such a thing? If the oracle of Danbala comes true, I'll skin you alive!"

Moreno was beaten senseless, but he remained defiant and struggled desperately.

"I didn't, I really didn't, boss. He's framing me. He's a liar, trying to sow discord..."

Caribou walked up to him, looking down at him with a murderous intent that was almost overflowing in his eyes.

He turned to look at Lynn and said in a deep voice:

"Witch doctor, summon Danbala and let me see if this is the traitor who betrays us."

Lynn nodded, picked up the spring water, walked to Moreno, and began to pray again.

This time, his voice was clearer, filled with phrases commonly used in Voodoo rituals to commemorate Danbala:

"The waters of Danbala reflect the heart of evil; poisonous spirits cling to the body, their traces impossible to conceal..."

"If this person is the murderer, he will be harmed by your great power; otherwise, he will be unharmed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and splashed the spring water in the bowl onto Moreno's face!

Water fell on Moreno's face and trickled down his neck into his collar.

The next second, something strange happened!

"Ouch! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

A wisp of black mist instantly appeared above his head and then enveloped his entire body!

Moreno let out a scream, reaching out to grab his head, neck, and shoulders, his face filled with terror. The black mist seemed to be alive, crawling across his skin and bringing waves of excruciating pain!

The surrounding henchmen instantly erupted in chaos, their faces filled with horror. They all took a few steps back, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Moreno.

"He's really injured! That guy's a traitor! Danbala has appeared to us!"

"No wonder the boss's been acting strange lately, it was this bastard's doing!"

"How dare they secretly poison the boss! They're practically asking for death!"

Caribou looked at the faint black mist around Moreno and his painful writhing, and the killing intent in his eyes exploded completely!

He reached out and grabbed Moreno's hair, slamming his head hard against the leather, his voice icy:

"Tell me, why did you want to kill me? Who ordered you to?"

Moreno was trembling with pain and fear, and dared not be defiant anymore, crying and begging for mercy:

"Boss, I was wrong. I shouldn't have coveted your territory. I shouldn't have tried to hurt you out of anger. I... I was just confused for a moment. Please forgive me, please forgive me, God Danbala..."

His words completely confirmed Lynn's statement, and the last trace of warmth in Caribou's eyes disappeared!

He abruptly released his grip, drew the Desert Eagle from his waist, pressed it against Moreno's temple, and without the slightest hesitation, pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

With a deafening roar, the surrounding henchmen shrank back. Moreno's head exploded instantly, splattering red and white matter all over the ground, and even the black mist disappeared in the bloody light.

Lynn stood aside, watching this bloody scene, his heart suddenly trembled, and he subconsciously took half a step back.

My palms were sweating. Even though I've watched countless American TV shows, I've never seen such direct killing.

But he knew he couldn't show any fear at this moment. He forced down his fear and stood there expressionless.

He even bowed slightly and gave a voodoo salute to the sugared apple, as if thanking Danbala, but secretly gave himself a big thumbs up in his heart.

"Hehe, I never thought [Corrosion] could be used like this! I'm such a clever little devil, haha!"

Carib blew away the gunpowder smoke from the muzzle and tucked the Desert Eagle back into his belt.

At this moment, the way he looked at Lynn had completely changed.

Gone was the previous scrutiny and doubt; only awe and conviction remained, even with a hint of ingratiation.

"Witch doctor, thank you for using Danbala's divine power to help me see through evil and dispel the poison. I am deeply grateful."

In his view, the black tarnish on Moreno's body was irrefutable proof of Danbala's manifestation.

The white boy in front of me is no ordinary witch doctor, but a powerful being who can truly communicate with the Loa.

Lynn nodded slightly, his face still bearing that solemn expression:

"This is due to the mercy of Danbala, and also to Mr. Karibu's daily devotion to God, which is why you have received Loa's protection."

Although the evil poison has been temporarily neutralized, some residue remains in your body. You need to drink this medicine once a month for three consecutive months to completely eliminate it; otherwise, there is still a risk of backlash.

Only then did Lynn take out a bottle of green antidote from his pocket and hand it to Caribou.

He deliberately brought up the remaining toxins to make Caribou become dependent on him, so that Caribou wouldn't dare to harm him easily, and would even have to respect and protect him.

"Alright! Alright! We'll do whatever the witch doctor says!"

Without a second thought, Karibu immediately and readily agreed.

Francisco looked at Lynn with awe, completely stunned by the sight of Danbala's apparition.

Seeing Carib's respectful demeanor, Lynn breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he was safe for the time being.

He walked to the candied apples, reached out and picked up the apples that were stained with spring water and blood. A notification immediately popped up on the system panel:

[You used the name of Danbala to uncover the poisoning plot, resolve the backlash of the evil poison, and gain 20 character experience.]

[You used the "Danbala Water Purification Technique" to detoxify, increasing your First Aid skill by 10%].

[You have acquired the identity of a "Voodoo Healer." Members of the Carlos Gang and all those who know of this and follow Voodoo will greatly increase their respect for you.]

"Alright, you've proven your sincerity, as well as your identity and abilities."

Caribou nodded at him with satisfaction. This time, the way he looked at Lynn no longer seemed like he was looking at a homeless man who could be thrown away as a blood bag or a drug mule at any time.

"White kid, you've proven yourself to be a pretty good witch doctor. While I'm grateful, however..."

He looked troubled, but continued speaking very calmly.

"Carlos Bond does not accept bad debts. According to our rules, since you sold Thomas's body, you should naturally assume his debts."

Having had the toxins removed from his body, Kalibu was now feeling extremely comfortable.

But what he said showed Lynn once again what the shamelessness of a gang leader truly meant.

"I'll give you two choices. Either continue paying off your debts, or come work for us as the witch doctor for the Carlos gang, and I'll forgive your debts."

"You can consider it. The Carlos Gang has always treated its members well. Alright, Francisco, you can see the witch doctor out of here."

Lynn had no desire to work for the mob; it was never an option for him.

But now that he was under someone else's roof, he could only try to take his leave in a nonchalant manner.

But after taking only two steps, he turned back to Caribou and said:

"By the way, Mr. Caribou, I promised them during the psychic session that I could help them with their burial."

"Yes, that's no problem. They're dead, so the debt is settled. Considering how much you've helped us, I have no objection if you're willing to help with their burial."

With the matter settled, Caribou waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.

Francisco then led Lynn out of the courtyard and into the Ford they had just driven over.
