My incarnation is becoming a global calamity.

Chapter 54-Baptism

Su Tu stood still and did not move after the thin mist rose.

When we first entered, this palace located beneath the cathedral seemed to pose no danger.

But now that this thin mist is rising, he can't be sure if there will be any danger inside the palace.

His main body has relatively weak combat abilities, so he chooses to stay in place for safety reasons.

He could use the time before the baptism ceremony officially began to clear his mind.

Based on the current progress, the third phase of the mission has been pushed forward significantly.

After today, he will know the identities of those who became a calamity in the capital but still survived.

Knowing the identities of these people, he was able to proceed with the next step of his plan: handing the fans to them individually and attempting to complete their tasks.

He already had a plan in mind for how to complete the third phase of the mission, and he was proceeding with it in an orderly manner.

So he doesn't need to worry too much about the mission right now.

If he had to pick something that was particularly troublesome for him, it would probably be the person who was searched by the reconnaissance team.

Based on the information we have so far, this group of people is arresting someone.

If the information the princess gave him is correct, this person is a newly emerging calamity in the capital.

Moreover, judging from the reconnaissance team's search, this calamity clearly wouldn't be hiding during today's baptism ceremony.

Therefore, this calamity must not be a member of the five dukes' families or a member of the royal family.

His only identity is that of a relatively ordinary resident of the capital.

Thinking of this, Su Tu frowned slightly, feeling a bit of a predicament.

If this person is the target mentioned in the mission, and you don't know their identity, then the difficulty of the mission seems to increase to another level.

This matter must be noted down; I'll find an opportunity to inquire about it from Eve later.

See if we can obtain this person's identity information.

As for today's baptism ceremony, Su Tu wasn't too worried.

Eve just left with that old man in black robes from the church, which means she shouldn't be the calamity of the royal family.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be the only one standing here now.

"It looks like we'll have to proceed with the baptism ceremony first."

Su Tu thought to himself, his gaze sweeping around again, trying to see through the thin mist to the entire underground palace.

Unfortunately, both sight and hearing are severely hampered by the thin fog.

I just don't know what will happen if I walk through this thin mist.

Just as he was about to examine the thin mist, an old voice slowly rang out.

"The baptism ceremony will now begin. Everyone, please stand still."

Upon hearing this, Su Tu, who had been about to take a step forward, slowly withdrew his foot and stood silently in place.

According to the baptism ceremony in previous years, someone should bring a wooden board later.

The so-called sacred fire was started from that wooden board.

If there are no surprises, that wooden plank should be a magical artifact.

Moreover, it was of a fairly high grade.

As his thoughts raced, a figure suddenly emerged from the thin mist before him, walking toward him from afar.

When he got closer, he realized that the person was the white-robed church member standing at the door.

The church member was holding the wooden plank he had just returned from.

After putting the plank down, the man didn't say a word and turned to leave.

Watching the figure disappear into the mist, Su Tu finally focused his gaze on the wooden plank beneath his feet.

Just as I remembered, the wooden board was engraved with intricate patterns, giving it a mysterious feel.

Because his avatar possesses the ability to identify artifacts, his sensitivity to magical tools has also increased considerably.

He could clearly sense that the wooden board was a magical artifact.

Moreover, its level is not low, definitely exceeding that of a B-grade magical tool.

That so-called sacred flame was most likely generated using magic power through this magical artifact.

"Everyone, please stand on the wooden planks."

The aged voice rang out again, interrupting Su Tu's thoughts.

After hesitating for a moment, he also lifted his foot and stood on the wooden board.

The next moment, a cylindrical barrier burst forth from the edge of the wooden plank, enveloping his entire body.

He tried to reach out and touch the barrier, but found that it was so solid that his hand could not pass through it.

In other words, he is now trapped on this plank and cannot move an inch.

However, he was not panicked; he had experienced this situation once before.

If we include the original body, then it should be four times.

The steps are the same every time, with no major changes.

"The baptism ceremony shall now begin."

The aged voice rang out again, and the wooden planks beneath his feet emitted a red glow the instant the voice fell.

*Pfft*

That was the sound of flames burning; the flames were igniting right beneath Su Tu's feet.

Su Tu was unsurprised by this, and his expression remained calm and unchanged.

This is the sacred fire, the sacred fire that can suppress calamities.

It seemed that the fire was fueled by the wooden plank, and it burned brighter and brighter.

The painful feeling from my memory resurfaced and rapidly invaded my brain.

"ah--!!!"

This wasn't Su Tu's cry; when the pain hit, he only let out a muffled groan.

He looked in the direction from which the sound came, but all he saw was a vast expanse of white.

There was a thin fog, obstructing visibility, so the person making the sound could not be seen.

But the voice was both familiar and unfamiliar.

The sound was mixed with a painful tone, making it seem unfamiliar.

The mist can block out most sounds, so the pain this person is experiencing right now must be the first time they've encountered it.

In other words, the person who made this sound was attending a baptism ceremony for the first time.

The sacred flame burned brighter and brighter, but the sound grew weaker and weaker, as if it had lost all its strength.

Su Tu understood this feeling very well; he had felt the same way last time.

Even shouting at the top of one's lungs couldn't release the pain.

However, after experiencing it once, I was still afraid of the next baptism, but I was also mentally prepared.

Of course, even so, this pain will still be incredibly tormenting.

Fortunately, Su Tu was quite determined and didn't make a sound from beginning to end.

At most, he would let out a muffled groan at the beginning.

As that familiar barrier slowly dissipated, Su Tu was completely soaked in sweat.

It has to be said that this so-called sacred flame is quite magical; it can't even evaporate sweat.

The temperature of the Olympic flame is gentle, giving people a warm feeling.

Unfortunately, under the cover of pain, this warm feeling was completely unfelt.

You can only feel it slightly at the very beginning.

When the pain finally starts, all that's left is real suffering.

"call......"

Su Tu let out a soft breath, and his pale face eased slightly.

This ordeal was passed without major incident.

So next, we need to focus all our attention on the third phase of the task.

But at that moment, a strange smell suddenly filled the air.

The moment he smelled the odor, he immediately realized something was wrong and quickly covered his nose and held his breath.

But a living person still needs to breathe, and soon his vision went black and he lost consciousness.
