"I wonder if you, Branch Chief, have ever heard of this 'parasitic blood snake'?"

"Hmm... This is the first time I've heard of such an evil thing."

After listening to Fike's description, Branch Chief Pam felt a chill on his back, and Heloise beside him also seemed to be shivering.

——(If such a thing really existed in the world, it would be too terrifying and impossible to guard against.)

"If we want to eliminate or expel this thing from the body, do you have any suggestions or methods?" Fei Ke asked again.

Minister Pame thought about it, and then told Fike that if you want to deal with such evil things, usually you have to go to the church and ask the clergy to deal with it. However, there is no church in a small place like Dris Town.

"I'll ask someone in Dris Town. If I have any news, I'll let you know as soon as possible... Also, may I ask, is there someone you know who has been harmed by this evil creature?"

Fike sighed deeply and then replied.

"He is an important relative of mine."

Seeing the slightly sad expression on Fike's face, Branch Chief Pame's impression of the young man changed.

She originally thought he was just a young and frivolous reward hunter, but now it seems that his unruly style may just be his superficial appearance.

"I understand. I'll do my best."

After leaving the mission union, Heloise followed Fike to the hotel recommended by the head of the Pame branch.

On the way, Heloise asked about the "parasitic blood snake". She was very curious why even Fike, the "messenger of the good god", could not deal with it.

Fike replied that because the use of divine power is restricted, the messenger of the good god cannot use divine power on himself and his relatives.

Heloise nodded, not quite understanding, and silently sighed that being the messenger of the good god was not easy either.

Soon, the two arrived at the door of the hotel. At this time, Fike asked Heloise a question.

"By the way, Heloise, do you mind sleeping in the same room with me tonight?"

6.59 - The Second Step of Instigation (Part )

"Eh?"

“Eh——???!”

Looking at Heloise's surprised expression, Jiang Ran was not surprised at all.

This is the effect he wants.

There is a little trick in psychology. When making a request to someone, just make an excessive request first, and then make a request that is relatively easy to achieve. The second request is often more likely to be adopted than when either is made separately.

Jiang Ran's goal at this time was to make Heloise promise him that if someone came to see her at night, she must ask Jiang Ran to go along and not meet him alone.

As for sleeping in the same room, it was just an "excessive request" deliberately made by Jiang Ran.

"Then... that's fine."

But what Jiang Ran didn't expect was that Heloise actually agreed.

(Well……?)

Looking at Heloise's shy appearance and then at her inner thoughts, Jiang Ran was speechless for a moment.

He didn't expect that Heloise's previous idea of ​​wanting to attract "Fike" to propose to her was actually true!

·

In the last minute, Heloise mustered up the greatest courage of her life.

She knew very well what it meant to spend the night in the same room with the opposite sex.

——(That’s right…)

—(That guy Fike…)

——(He must be trying to take advantage of me while I'm asleep...)

——(Hold my hand secretly!)

Although the tiger-man's adoptive parents had never told Heloise in person, Heloise had heard about it from her playmates.

As long as a boy and a girl of appropriate age hold hands and sleep together at night, a baby will be born the next day!

—(This guy, Fike, pretended to be unresponsive to my proposal, but it turns out he really wants to be my wife!)

——(How dare you even make such a bold request!)

——(Humph! That Evil Tiger King God's Apostle will fight to the end!)

Heloise felt relieved after giving her answer. She even looked at Fike with some pride, wanting to see an expression of embarrassment and shame on his cold face.

"I'm glad you don't mind. Let's go in."

As a result, Fike still had that poker face, without any sign of wavering.

Now, the pressure came to Heloise.

·

Heloise stumbled into the hotel lobby, each step feeling like walking in a quagmire.

Heloise climbed the stairs panting with every step, as if she was climbing a ten-thousand-meter-high peak.

Heloise followed Fike into the room tremblingly. If someone didn't know her, they would think she was shaking so violently because she was about to enter the ancient labyrinth.

Then, the only bed in the room dealt a fatal blow to Heloise's young heart.

——(It’s over. What should I do now?)

Heloise stood at the door of the room, her body stiff and wanting to turn around and run away.

However, she said it herself. If she regretted it now, it would undoubtedly bring shame to the Tiger People!

——(Evil Tiger King God... please tell me what to do... wuwu...)

Just then, Fike saw Heloise still standing at the door, so he turned around and walked towards her.

Now Heloise became even more nervous, and her whole body was shaking like a sieve.

"Hero..."

"Fei Fei Fei Fei, do you like boys or boys?"

Heloise bit her tongue nervously, and Fike frowned and looked confused when he heard the question.

"If you say you like boys, then hold my left hand at night. If you say you like..."

"What boy or girl? Come in quickly."

Before Heloise could finish her words, Fike pulled her into the house.

Then, Fike brought a quilt, spread it on the ground, and told Heloise, "You sleep here tonight."

This time, it was Heloise's turn to be confused.

·

·

Heloise was troubled for most of the night, only to find out that she had misunderstood.

Fei Ke had no intention of sleeping with her at all, but they slept in the same room just to save on room charges.

Unable to bear the humiliation, Heloise shouted that she had money and wanted to get a room alone. However, before she even walked out of the room, she realized that she had left in such a hurry that she forgot to bring any money, so she had to return to the room in shame.

At this moment, just when Heloise needed some gentle comfort, Fike stabbed a knife into her self-confidence as a woman.

"Don't worry, I won't even touch you."

At this point, Heloise finally let go of all her reserve and shyness. She swore to the Evil Tiger King God in her heart that if she didn't make Fei Ke completely bewitched and infatuated with her in this life, she, Heloise, would be a puppy!

In the hotel room in the town of Driss shrouded in darkness, Jiang Ran was preparing a potion while "chatting" with Heloise.

"Heloise, if you're willing to be honest about this karmic matter, perhaps we can reduce the number of 'purification rituals'."

Heloise originally didn't intend to pay attention to Fike for the time being, but what he said was too tempting, so Heloise had no choice but to respond.

"Confess what?" Heloise asked.

"That day, after you spoke to 'someone' in the woods, you learned that my original name was 'Banning', right?"

Jiang Ran opened the topic straight to the point. Since they had already arrived in Dris Town, it was time to put the battle against the "Earth Ghost" and the "Snake Shadow Society" on the agenda.

"Uh... no, no, that was a fateful day. I received the revelation from the Evil Tiger King God in the woods, so I know your former name...!"

Heloise hesitated for a long time before making up an unconvincing statement. Jiang Ran had anticipated this, so he directly began to shake Heloise's trust in the "Earth Ghost".

"Heloise, lying to the 'Messenger of Goodness' will only increase your karma."

Jiang Ran's words undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Heloise's innocent heart.

"Also, I know everything about you serving the Snake Shadow Society and the fact that the 'sir' you mentioned is actually called 'Earth Ghost'."

Immediately afterwards, the release of information from the Snake Shadow Society and the Earth Ghost dealt a fatal blow to Heloise.

At this moment, Heloise felt as if she was a child, secretly playing on the computer while her parents were not at home, and then turning off the computer before they came back and pretending to be reading, thinking she had done it perfectly. But as soon as her mother came back, she pulled out the surveillance video that had been installed at some unknown time and put it in front of her.

Heloise's heart at this moment was colder than a toilet seat in January.

"Feifeifeifeike..."

"Yes, I know. No need to explain. Anyway, the 'Purification Ceremony' will last for another three days."

Just like that, Heloise never dared to lie to Fike again.

Then, after Jiang Ran used the stick, he used candy. He told Heloise that he didn't actually want to do anything to "Lord Earth Ghost". On the contrary, he did this to help "Lord Earth Ghost".

"Heloise, you must know that the good God is merciful."

Jiang Ran continued to activate his "Trickster" skill, going further and further on the path of playing the role of a charlatan.

[img=675,1200]https://rss.sfacg.com/web/novel/images/UploadPic/2022/12/2247059d-ac40-473c-9af9-bc0fc21af05e.jpg[/img]

6.60 - What to eat for breakfast

Jiang Ran did not directly tell Heloise that "Earth Ghosts are demons and evil people."

Similar to the previous strategy, Jiang Ran pretended that he didn't know the true identity of the Earth Ghost, and intervened in the conversation between Heloise and the Earth Ghost in the manner of a "friend".

"Heloise, the reason the good god 'telepathically' told me about the 'Earth Ghosts and the Snake Shadow Society' was to save the 'Earth Ghosts' who had lost their way and didn't know how to return."

"Not only did the 'Earth Ghost' mistake me for a demon, he also mistook the identities of many other good people. If this continues, his karma will become too great to be purified."

Combined with his skill "Trickster" and mind-reading ability, Jiang Ran's charade performance made Heloise believe it without a doubt.

In Heloise's opinion, it was unbelievable that Fike, who was not a member of the Snake Shadow Society and had never seen Lord Earth Ghost, could know all this.

If it wasn't a revelation from the good god, there really is no way to explain it.

"So, next time the 'Earth Ghost' comes looking for you, please let me have a word with him. This is very necessary to save a soul that has made mistakes but can still be saved."

After seeing that the time was ripe, Jiang Ran brought out the real purpose of this conversation, and Heloise had no doubts at all and immediately agreed with a solemn vow.

"I understand. When Lord Earth Ghost comes to see me again, I will definitely let you know!"

At this point, Jiang Ran's second step of inciting Heloise to rebel was officially completed.

Next, we will wait for a head-on confrontation with the earth ghost.

·

That night, after countless failures, Jiang Ran finally succeeded in concocting three bottles of intermediate antidote and five bottles of primary purification potion (pharmacist experience: 300+210↑/600).

But by the time he succeeded, Heloise had already fallen into a deep sleep, so the experiment on the effectiveness of the new potion had to wait until tomorrow.

(If all goes well, the infection should be delayed for another day or two...)

(Heloise, you have to hold on.)
