Chapter 47: Witch God Church
Upon confirming this, Laura was on the verge of tears. No one else could see this man, which meant no one could help her.
If it were in the past, she, bolstered by her divine powers, wouldn’t fear anyone. But now she was just an ordinary girl, how could she possibly stand a chance against a ghost?
More importantly, she had sent away all the old men of the temple, and now, even if she wanted to seek help, it was too late.
Based on the course of events in horror films, Laura would end up being completely killed by the ghost when she was alone...
Watching Laura’s tearful eyes, Alexander found it amusing.
"So you’re scared now? To be honest, I never liked that arrogant demeanor of yours. It would be better if you could break this bad habit," he said with a chuckle.
"Alright, I apologize. But I am a Holy Maiden of the temple. Many times, even if it’s just a facade, I have to put on a haughty look because I represent the temple," Laura quickly explained.
"You settle the bill. We should go," Alexander said.
Upon hearing Alexander’s voice, Laura was pulled back from her inner world of fear.
"Okay, alright," Laura called the waiter over, taking out several banknotes from her purse and handing them to the waiter. "No need for change, the rest is your tip. Also, could you confirm for me again if there’s someone at that spot?"
"Thank you for the tip, but there really isn’t anyone there. Maybe you’re too tired. There are many hotels nearby, I suggest you two take a rest," the waiter suggested.
Her face instantly turned red and she quickly got up, pulling Alexander towards the exit.
The restaurant gave her an eerie feeling, the longer she stayed, the more uncomfortable she felt. She just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Alexander was pulled out of the restaurant by Laura and they walked along the pedestrian path outside. It was two in the afternoon, the sun was shining high, and the temperature was not low.
But Laura felt a chill throughout her body. Holding Alexander’s hand, she wandered aimlessly forward.
What to do? What to do!?
Laura didn’t dare turn her head, fearing that she would see that man following behind her.
"Where do you want to go?" Alexander, who was following behind, asked after a while.
Laura stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Alexander. For her, at this moment, Alexander was the only person she could rely on.
"Alexander, there’s something I need to tell you. You must believe me," Laura said, her face pale as a sheet.
"What is it?" Alexander asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Just, just now in the restaurant, I asked you..." Laura began in a trembling voice. In the midst of her speaking, she absentmindedly glanced behind Alexander and saw a dark figure. It was that man!
Laura could no longer hold back, she screamed and buried her head into Alexander’s chest, wrapping her arms tightly around him.
"Alexander, I...I’ve seen a ghost, I’m a little scared," she sobbed.
Laura was shaking violently, clearly terrified to the extreme.
"This girl doesn’t have strong psychological endurance," thought Alexander, "Otherwise she wouldn’t have injured her own divine power out of competitiveness, leading to her being a regular person these past few days."
"Alexander, you believe me, there really is a ghost..." Laura sobbed.
"Of course I believe you, there are ghosts in this world. However, the man you saw, he is not a ghost," Alexander said calmly.
"Hmm?" Laura lifted her head, looking at Alexander with tear-filled eyes.
Alexander gently pushed Laura away, turned his head to look at the man in black not far away, and said, "Is it fun to scare people with magic?"
The man thought Alexander couldn’t see him.
But Alexander’s words changed his complexion.
"How could he see me? I clearly used the invisibility spell!" The man was shocked.
But he quickly reacted.
The invisibility spell was a secret technique taught by the Saint. It could not go wrong!
The other party was just bluffing!
As long as he didn’t make a sound, he would not expose himself!
"So you thought I couldn’t see you? Well then." A mocking smile curled up at the corner of Alexander’s mouth, and his hand reached forward.
The man immediately felt a tremendous force pulling him forward!
"Ugh!"
The man fell flat on his face in front of Alexander, his nose bleeding profusely.
He lifted his head and saw Alexander’s smiling face.
"Is it fun?" Alexander asked.
The man struggled to stand up, but couldn’t move at all!
A force was heavily pressing on him, and it was getting heavier!
At this moment, the man realized he had encountered a formidable opponent!
The Alexander in front of him could indeed see him and was far stronger than him!
He lifted his head with difficulty and begged, "Master, I was just confused, please spare me..."
"Spare you? Ask her if she agrees."
Alexander turned his head to look at Laura who was still stunned.Laura hadn’t yet reacted to what had happened.
Couldn’t Alexander see this man before? Why did he suddenly take action?
"You scared her until her eyes were swollen from crying, how could I let you go easily?" Alexander said with a smile.
While he was speaking, the pressure on the man increased a few notches!
The man let out a cry of pain.
As it was noon, there were no other people passing by this street.
Therefore, the man’s scream had no effect.
"Master, I am a member of the Witch God Church, please spare me in consideration of the bishop!"
The man knew that if this continued, he would either be killed or crippled!So, he tried every means to escape.
If Alexander happened to know about the Witch God Church, maybe he would spare him!
Sure enough, after hearing the man’s words, the pressure on him suddenly lightened a lot.
"You are from the Witch God Church?" Alexander raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Yes! Yes! I am a member of the Nan Du branch of the Witch God Church, my name is Kerry." The man nodded repeatedly.
"Nan Du branch..." Alexander muttered.
Kerry knew his words had worked.Alexander indeed knew about the Witch God Church!
"Master... I really realize my mistake, please spare me in consideration of the Witch God Church." Kerry seized the opportunity to continue.
"In consideration of the Witch God Church?"
A smile spread across Alexander’s face, "Alright, as long as you answer a few of my questions, I will let you go."
"Good! Good! I will definitely answer whatever I know!" Kerry’s face brightened.
"Where is the location of your Nan Du branch?" Alexander asked.
"It, it’s..." Kerry’s face changed.
He didn’t expect that as soon as Alexander started asking, he would ask about the prohibition that was strictly forbidden to reveal to outsiders!
Especially in the past two or three months, the prohibition has been stricter.
But if he doesn’t answer Alexander’s question now, he will suffer!
"It’s inside a mountain in the suburbs!"
After some consideration, Kerry answered vaguely.
Alexander knew Kerry was being vague, but he continued, "Where is the headquarters of your Witch God Church then?"
"I... I really don’t know... I’m just a staff member of the branch, my position in the church is very low..." Kerry looked distressed.
"Okay, last question, why did you try to scare people by pretending to be a ghost?" Alexander asked.
Upon hearing this, Kerry subconsciously glanced at Laura standing next to Alexander.
To be honest, his decision to scare Laura was spur of the moment.
At first, he just wanted to admire Laura’s beauty.
But later, when Laura wanted to call a waiter to drive him away, he turned the tables and used the invisibility technique he had just learned.
The effect of being invisible was very noticeable, and Laura was quite frightened.
Then, Kerry’s interest was piqued. He followed Laura, looking for an opportunity when she was alone, intending to harm her.
But this idea, no matter what, could not be spoken.
The Alexander in front of him, if not this girl’s boyfriend, was probably something like a bodyguard.
Speaking the truth would certainly invite a beating.
"I... I had just learned this invisibility technique and wanted to try it out. I had absolutely no ill intentions..." Kerry said cautiously.
"Who taught you this technique?" Alexander asked.
"It... it was the Saintess of our church," Kerry replied.
"A Saintess?" Alexander frowned.
Kerry realized he had let something slip again.
However, Alexander didn’t continue to question him about this, which allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Master, I’ve answered all your questions, can you let me go now?" Kerry asked hopefully.
"Of course not." Alexander shook his head, "Your three answers, not one of them is truthful. And you still expect to walk away?"
