Chapter 34 The Most Critical Part

As the anti-cult lecture in the chapel of Lichtenstein Castle gradually drew to a close, the voice of the person sitting at the lectern grew deeper, like the sound of the wind fading away.

"When we suspect that we or our friends and family may have encountered a cult, we should seek the help of professionals in a timely manner."

The people around listened quietly, their eyes full of focus and thought.

The light from the stained-glass windows gradually reflected Lan Qi's figure brightly in the afternoon sun, as if using a sacred hymn to guide people to the other side of truth.

"..."

While listening to Lan Qi's lecture, Hyperion wondered why she was listening to a classmate's lecture in the Shadow World, and she also began to feel afraid.

She had already moved closer to Lan Qi to protect his safety.

She worried that if Lan Qi continued like this, even if he didn't activate the Great Poet of Love, the two traitors would jump out and fight him.

Putting herself in the shoes of the two Resurrection Cultists, Hyperion felt that she might not be able to handle the mental strain.

Presumably, they were dealing with two super elites of the Resurrection Church who had been cultivated at great cost and perfectly hidden in the world.

It was precisely because of this that the two cultists were extremely dangerous not only in the Shadow World but also in the real world.

No one knew what kind of grand and respectable position the two would unknowingly infiltrate in the real world one day, devouring the real world like poisonous insects and delivering a fatal blow at a critical moment.

Amidst Hyperion's strict defense.

"Let us work together, through raising awareness, actively learning, and seeking help in a timely manner, to resist the harm of cults and protect ourselves, our families, and our society!"

"Alright, today's lecture is over."

Lan Qi stopped speaking and announced the end of the lecture.

He stood up from behind the long table and asked the challengers:

"How is everyone feeling now?"

"Apart from being a little tired, I'm quite happy. Class is finally over."

The young master of the Chamber of Commerce had regained the feeling of attending school, and it was as if the principal had come to the class to teach in person, and no one dared not listen carefully.

The atmosphere of this lecture was not oppressive.

Because the challengers knew that the lecture itself was driving the traitors crazy, sometimes they couldn't help but laugh as they listened.

Now that the lecture was finally over, everyone felt as if the only pressure had been swept away, and they felt refreshed.

"I have learned a lot, Mr. Lawyer."

"It's a great loss to the church that you couldn't join us."

The three clergymen from the Northern Continent seemed to have new insights and gains, and thanked Lan Qi.

They had even begun to draw inferences and discuss how to apply this new type of lecture-style technique for identifying cultists in reality.

"It's okay, I have a good relationship with High Priest Loren. I will do my best to help you."

Lan Qi also nodded in salute, a sense of responsibility arising spontaneously.

He was even more convinced that he should let his clerical friends from the Northern Continent master some practical methods for dealing with cultists.

This was closely related to the public security of the entire Northern Continent.

Undoubtedly, it was doing great good and accumulating great virtue.

"So, what's next?"

The young master of the Chamber of Commerce looked at Lan Qi curiously and asked, wondering if Lan Qi had any more ideas.

The young master of the Chamber of Commerce, who had seen a lot of the world, was now looking forward to it. He had never felt that any Shadow World could be so fun.

After being tossed around by the lawyer, the fifth-tier Shadow World, full of panic, oppression, and suspicion, seemed to have completely deviated from the theme of "killing game." If the lawyer continued to play, the two Resurrection Cultists, as long as they failed to kill the lawyer, would probably leave a lifelong psychological shadow, regardless of whether they won or lost the Shadow World.

Following the detective, the nature of the game had changed again because of the lawyer.

"Of course, what comes next is actually the most critical."

Lan Qi nodded calmly, and a smile appeared on his face again.

"Everyone, please listen carefully. I have a way to make everyone's emotions written on their faces in a moment. In a moment, I will use magic after a countdown. If anyone sees someone showing obvious anger, they can basically determine who the traitor is."

Hearing this, everyone's expression was a little surprised.

There was still such a killer move?

It turned out that the lawyer had been tormenting the cultists to death in order to clearly distinguish the emotions of both sides.

They never dreamed that.

This five-day, five-night reasoning game would reveal the answer unexpectedly before the first night arrived!

"Everyone must calm your minds and concentrate your attention now, do you understand?"

Lan Qi's deep gaze stared at everyone present, his voice low and powerful, like a rolling stone breaking through the wind.

Faced with his gaze, no matter what they were thinking at the moment, people nodded nervously.

The atmosphere in the entire chapel was once again tense to the extreme, like a string about to break.

"Three..."

Lan Qi's voice echoed in the silent hall, like an ancient bell, striking the hearts of everyone, and suspense filled the air.

"Two..."

"One..."

Under that sharp eagle-like gaze, he continued to count down, nearing the end, and people's hearts were in their throats, as if the world would be turned upside down in the next moment.

"Hey, I'll use it later. I'll see who's panicking first."

Lan Qi suddenly raised a playful smile at the corner of his mouth and said easily with his hands spread out.

Nothing happened.

Everyone was stunned, their eyes full of astonishment, and their heartbeats seemed to be disrupted by Lan Qi's sudden joke.

"※!"

"Mr. Lawyer, you better catch the traitor during the day, otherwise I can't imagine what they will do to you at night."

However, the challengers all knew that the hearts of two people must have been about to explode just now.

As a result, Lan Qi's sudden pause was the most psychologically damaging.

"This time it's real, three, two—"

Lan Qi's expression instantly became serious again, as if the joke time was over, and everyone couldn't help but quickly restrain their words.

Because Lan Qi's countdown speed obviously accelerated, they only felt their heartbeats accelerating in an instant.

Then he suddenly laughed again,

"Did anyone panic?"

Lan Qi seemed to be confessing to everyone that it was just a joke to liven up the atmosphere and that there was no such magic at all.

"You're really enough!"

Following the prayer ceremony and the propaganda lecture, it was a stand-up comedy show.

He fabricated such a deterrent magic out of thin air, luring the traitors to consider whether to seize the opportunity to strike before their identities were exposed, which was a pure psychological game.

If he had scared the traitors out just now, it would have been like getting something for nothing. Even if he didn't scare the traitors out, it would only make the traitors even more angry.

And with the traitors unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood, every decision had to be made with tight nerves, allowing Lan Qi to play with their heartbeats!

By constantly alternating between relaxation and tension, torturing and destroying the traitors' minds, and then letting Lan Qi play a few more rounds of the game, the traitors might really not be able to bear it.

It was only a pity.

Looking at the sky outside the French window, the clouds became thicker, with orange-red golden light.

The time they could safely gather together was running out.

It was likely that they would have to wait until tomorrow, when they had a full day, for the lawyer to host activities to torture the traitors again.

But the wonderful thing was that all the challengers inexplicably felt no psychological pressure.

In addition to the reversal of the situation in the morning and playing games for an afternoon, even the danger at night had little to do with them now.

Because all the hatred had been absorbed by one person—

The two traitors could ignore the remaining two-day deadline for their mission tonight.

They could even let the werewolves and witches go.

But it was impossible not to desperately chase and kill the lawyer!

Lan Qi, with his own strength, inflicted an indescribable taunt status on the two traitors.

"..."

Just when everyone thought that Lan Qi's third round of activities had ended in a regrettable failure.

Lan Qi had already smiled and raised his right hand, gently freeing an orange epic card as if throwing petals.
