I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

The place Li Yue chose was very particular, right at the intersection leading to Copper Mine Town.

If the black horse runs to Copper Mine Town, it would be best to lure the Cleaners and the white robes of the New Church there together.

As for Li Yue himself, he slipped into a tunnel along an abandoned house, running in the opposite direction towards the church—having finally created a bit of commotion, he certainly couldn't waste it. While the Cleaners and the New Church were mobilized en masse, he should quickly explore the church.

Li Yue didn't want to be tied down by Mustaffa, which was only a small part of the reason. More importantly, he wanted to quickly illuminate that unknown darkness.

After all, nothing is more important than upgrading his cheat.

As for the issue of his identity being exposed... that could be resolved later.

Anyway, the five towns are all the same, all with remnants of mine tunnels. Living underground in the future wouldn't be a problem.

Fully utilizing his observations of the Iron Mine Town's underground over the past few days, Li Yue sprinted along the tunnel, reaching the sewer of the Town Hall in just a few minutes.

The tunnel here connects to the sewer, and the Town Hall's sewer is also connected to the New Church's sewer system, which is very new, obviously built after the Empire controlled the five towns.

Li Yue shrunk into the sewer, peering upwards. Ignoring the filth, he discovered that the Town Hall and the church were indeed as deserted as he had imagined.

"The war is about to end, has he seen... the approaching eternal night?"

"Is he sure I'm the real culprit behind the Masked Society incident?" Under the town square, a white robe, holding up a light, asked Norton.

Norton was stunned, then his eyes quickly softened. He knelt on the ground, his head facing the white robe, and cried out piously, "It is my incompetence and greed that have caused the loss of faith... I atone..."

"It's not too late to go out now, you can only go to the Admonishment Hall... pretending to have been staying here to watch..." The believer tried to find some excuses.

Just after Jessica walked away, the believer suddenly turned his head.

"Last time? You still want a last time?" Jessica chuckled.

"Fine, fine, fine, as you wish, quickly move aside." The blonde man raised his foot and kicked the believer's calf, "The night has just ended, don't block my way."

"There are believers when retreating into the town, but that doesn't affect my ability to find faith outside the town, does it?" Norton complexly explained Li Yue's origins, "I accepted Horad's commission and came into contact with the Masked Society at the Fractured Site..."

"We must be more cautious." The white robe carried out his weakness, just like he had done to Norton just now.

At this moment, Li Yue was hiding on the row of chairs in the church's small hall, seeing everything in the church—after crawling out of the sewer, Li Yue climbed through the window into the small hall, just in time to see everything that happened outside the washroom.

"I understand." The thin white robe lowered his head even further.

Li Yue only hoped that the real culprit of the "Masked Society incident" would appear, keeping the white robes of the New Church busy all night, giving himself more time.

Li Yue inexplicably felt familiar, only then remembering that when he first arrived at the Town Hall to accept the "Fractured Site" commission, it was this man who handled the formalities for him.

"Maybe, maybe you'll find it boring too." Jessica shrugged, "You wait, until the next time I'm interested."

After a moment of intense activity, the believer was pushed away by a blonde man, quickly tidying his clothes.

"He is already a heretic, all of which is caused by you." Norton directly shifted the blame onto the New Church, "You need to strengthen evangelism, and should let the townspeople live in safety."

The Cleaners and the white robes had already taken to the streets to hunt down the murderer who killed the four white robes.

Li Yue listened to the sound of high heels stepping through the corridor, thinking that Jessica's taste was quite unique, a bit interesting.

Quite poetic...

Seeing through the church, the entire building was shrouded in a hazy light, making it difficult to see clearly. Li Yue had to carefully distinguish the roads leading to the interior of the church.

"For the sake of faith, all actions are worthy of praise." The white robe became more cautious, stepping on the footprints left by the steam machine soldiers and clockwork warriors, and moved towards Copper Mine Town.

While saying this, Norton took off the white armor under his body, and the light emanating from the holes in his body slowly dyed his clothes white.

The light came from the church's small hall, which was the signal that had just ordered all believers to gather.

Even after seeing them, Jessica was mostly certain that there were still some blind spots inside the church.

"We have an agreement with the Empire, it seems that we cannot... instill faith into the Cleaners." Another white robe was very tall, with a thin figure, and raised an objection.

"Go this way! Towards Copper Mine Town! Call the Cleaners of Copper Mine Town to block him! We must not let him run away!" Norton commanded the Cleaners coming and going, looking very busy.

"Really?" The believer straightened his back, trying to expand the coverage of his body.

"Oh, damn, being too close to God just now, I seem to have missed some kind of call..." The believer got up, rubbed his eyes, and noticed the light seeping through the crack in the door.

"Who's here?"

Li Yue almost laughed out loud after hearing this.

"Tsk, but... everything I've experienced with you has made me feel a little interesting." Jessica sighed.

"For the sake of faith, for the sake of faith, for the sake of faith!" Inside the washroom on the side of the church, a believer was launching a final sprint.

"But I am a believer." The white robe originally thought that everything that happened at the altar was related to the Masked Society.

The white robe seemed to be very cultured, waiting until Norton was done.

Norton became a believer.

"Investigate everything." Norton murmured as he got up, ordering the Cleaners around him to drive the steam machine soldiers and clockwork warriors of the Town Hall to join the search for the heretic.

"Damn, it must be important, there's no one there anymore..." The believer peeked into the church's small hall through the crack in the door, no longer seeing anyone else.

Too close to God?

"Yes, not me, Li, a traveler." Norton commanded for a long time, and also conceived everything, "I was originally just a little suspicious, so I routinely checked him, but I didn't expect him to directly attack."

"We should indeed preach well..." The white robe nodded and stuffed the light he was holding high into Norton's mouth.

"I will pray for you." The believer opened the door and let the blonde man out.

The Cleaners quickly left, leaving only two white robes holding up lights under the town square.

"Jessica... when will we meet next time?" The believer turned around, not letting him pass.

The other Cleaners around him were all shocked and didn't say a word.

"Is it important?" The blonde man smoothed his hair, seeming a little unsatisfied, but his tone was indifferent.

"If it's important... then hurry up and get out?" The blonde man put on his glasses and returned to his capable appearance.

"Do you think the Creator Sect will abide by this agreement?" The white robe gathered his hands, "We are competing for faith with the Sistolems of the North, and with the mechanists of God's Oath City, and we are also directly facing all heretics..."

After thinking for a moment, Li Yue didn't disturb the two of them, but instead crawled under the row of chairs and quietly lit up the white on the map.

"Want to." The believer's answer was very pious, "You are not my prayer, but my God."

"He should indeed atone." The white robe helped Norton up, "Now, faith requires him to gather all his strength, find that heretic from the south, open his head, and investigate everything."
