Wu Liugen put down the Gatling gun and took out a woman's handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his bald head.
"This thing really consumes Buddhist power. If it ran for another hour or so, my Buddhist power might be drained by this thing."
Wen Wen's brow twitched. The way he fired, the energy released in just a short while had already exceeded the total of normal Upper Sequence superhumans.
What was this bald man's true power level?
He was probably at least a True Sequence superhuman!
If not a True Sequence, he wouldn't have been able to use that sense-blocking method to control so many cicada insects simultaneously and then easily defeat them.
"Hurry up and set up what you need to. This fight has caused too much of a commotion, and people from the Glorious Church will be here soon."
"Although I'm not afraid of them, they can't see me, or it would be too embarrassing."
Yan Xiu, who had been watching from the sidelines, quickly moved a corpse identical to himself from the church's basement. After some thought, he took off the mask in his hand and put it on the corpse's face.
This mask was his identifier. Without discarding it, he couldn't make the people from the Glorious Church believe that he was the one who had died.
And Wen Wen finally saw what Yan Xiu looked like without his mask.
His eyes were beautifully shaped, no wonder Lin Lu liked him. Below that, Wen Wen couldn't see.
Because Yan Xiu had worn a mask inside his mask!
Over there, Wu Liugen also found a corpse similar in size to his own. Then, Wu Liugen gently tapped the face of this corpse, and its features changed to be exactly like Wu Liugen's.
Seeing Wen Wen looking at him with confusion, Wu Liugen explained, "I've solidified my abilities onto this mask. For a month, anyone who looks at this corpse will think it's me. And the people from the Glorious Church won't keep the corpse for a month."
After they were ready, Wu Liugen and Yan Xiu prepared to withdraw.
Wen Wen looked at the Yan Xiu mask on the corpse and felt it was too much of a pity to abandon such a treasure just for faking his death.
So he pulled Yan Xiu aside and discussed it. After the discussion, Wen Wen made some alterations to the mask and left a spatial imprint.
Once the people from the Glorious Church confirmed Yan Xiu's identity, Wen Wen would use the spatial marker to take the mask.
After obtaining the mask, Wen Wen would hand it over to Red Beard for modification. After a complete makeover, it would be put into use.
Wen Wen wanted to give Yan Xiu a superhuman item he could use as compensation.
After the three of them left, the people from the Glorious Church arrived late. They had received intelligence that there were over fifty cicada insects here, but upon arrival, they only saw two corpses that were no longer human in form.
After conducting a preliminary examination and detecting no anomalies, the Glorious Church added Yan Xiu and Wu Liugen to their death list.
...
Under an orange tree in a park in Liaozhou City, three men were sitting. They were Wen Wen and the others who had left earlier.
They were conducting a transaction. Wu Liugen wanted to purchase the Buddhist Sayings Gatling gun and the Buddhist Sayings handgun.
In exchange, Wu Liugen brought out a pile of items for Wen Wen and Yan Xiu to choose from.
These included a wooden fish made of synthetic wood, rustic prayer beads, a vajra shaped like a rolling pin, relics that looked suspiciously like stomach stones, and Bodhi seeds...
Although these items looked very crude in appearance, none of them were to be underestimated, as each of them possessed an energy level of at least Disaster Class!
"These are all Buddhist treasures I've kept with me since I was young. If you don't like them, I'll bring out another batch. There's always something you'll like."
As a superhuman, Wen Wen was quite wealthy, but he couldn't help but feel a bit envious when he saw what Wu Liugen had brought out.
Although Buddhism was in decline, it still had its foundations. The Containment Facility was just starting out and couldn't compare to them yet.
In the end, Yan Xiu took a rolling pin. That item could enhance his ability, which was the controllable white light. Moreover, as long as he wore the vajra, the light he emitted would turn golden, which would be beneficial for his future concealment.
Wen Wen's Buddhist Sayings Gatling gun was significantly more powerful than the Buddhist Sayings handgun, so he took a Bodhi seed and a beggar's bowl... well, a patra.
According to Wu Liugen, this Bodhi seed came from a Bodhi tree with Disaster Class strength within Buddhism. Wearing it could effectively suppress negative thoughts, which was quite a good item for Wen Wen, who often hovered on the brink of madness.
As for the patra, if thrown out, it could subdue monsters. If the monster was successfully subdued, it could be shrunk and stored in the patra. If not subdued, it could still restrain the monster's actions.
After the transaction was completed, Wu Liugen did not leave immediately but looked intently at Wen Wen.
"Benefactor Wen previously said that you came here to seek help from Yan Xiu. I wonder if there's anything little monk can do to assist. As long as I can help, I will spare no effort."
Yan Xiu's feigned death was akin to apostasy, yet he showed no intention of hiding it from Wen Wen, which proved that Wen Wen knew Yan Xiu's thoughts were unstable.
Therefore, Wen Wen had specifically sought out a traitor from the Glorious Church for help, likely to target the Glorious Church.
Wu Liugen had already made the Glorious Church his primary imaginary enemy, so he wanted to help Wen Wen in this matter. Additionally, he needed the assistance of the Hunter Association to revive Buddhism, making it very necessary to befriend powerful demon hunters.
Wen Wen hesitated for a moment, then decided to hide nothing and told Wu Liugen the purpose of his trip to Liaozhou City.
After hearing Wen Wen's questions, Wu Liugen fell into contemplation. He seemed to know some inside information.
A moment later, Wu Liugen said to Wen Wen, "If Benefactor is investigating this matter, then little monk can provide some clues."
"When I was absorbing advanced experience at the Glorious Church, I inevitably had to consult some written materials, so I visited a few of their libraries several times."
Wen Wen's eyebrows shot up. Libraries were considered forbidden areas, yet you visited them several times?
It seemed that during his infiltration of the church, this fellow had likely engaged in various petty pilfering.
"According to the ancient texts I've seen, a very significant change occurred within the Glorious Church two thousand years ago."
"It seems a battle between Disaster Class beings took place here. Both sides of the engagement were Disaster Class entities, and in the end, two Disaster Class beings perished together."
"Two Disaster Class beings perished together!"
Wen Wen's eyes lit up. Could those two Disaster Class powerhouses who perished together be the mysterious cicada insects and that fallen angel?
