After a few moments, perhaps because the two men were exorcists, they quickly regained consciousness.
The two of them got up from the ground one after the other, looking at each other with a bit of confusion.
"How did we escape?"
"I'm not sure. I just remember a light shining, and then that demon seemed to say that someone was helping us."
"That's right, I heard it too. The demon said we were saved by some magical artifact given to us by someone else."
As they spoke, they hurriedly reached into their pockets, and sure enough, the pendant was shattered into pieces.
It emanated a holy aura, and you could faintly feel the remaining energy in the pendant.
"This artifact... is brand new!" Henry said, a little unsure. "But how is that possible?"
Now that the pendant was broken, he could see the interior and exterior of it more clearly.
Judging from this, it was definitely a newly made artifact.
But that was precisely why he couldn't believe it.
This artifact could withstand the full force of a demon king, which shows how high its quality was.
Even in the Church, only those artifacts passed down from ancient times could compare to it.
In this current age of dwindling magic, very few people can make such artifacts.
"Henry, your guess should be right," Ryan said. "Remember, before we came in, everyone got a jade pendant like this. If it was left over, there wouldn't be many of them."
"When all the wrong answers have been eliminated, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth!"
"Whoa!"
Henry gasped and said, "There is a powerful, mysterious person living in seclusion here!"
"Exactly!" Ryan's eyes grew brighter, and he felt like he was getting very close to the truth.
"Henry, think about it. This place is full of holy light. How could no one have taken notice of it?"
"And that demon in town, don't you think it's strange? It's clearly powerful, yet it stays in a corner, and it seems like it can't even leave town!"
"That's right, I noticed that too!" Henry nodded.
Although the artifact transported them away from the church and out of danger.
If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
But this place is only a few steps away from the town. For a being like the demon, it wouldn't even take a breath to cross the distance and get here in an instant.
But they just stand in the town, filled with impotent rage.
This clearly shows that their range of activity is limited to the town.
It's like they're pets.
"God, to keep demons as pets, to mass-produce precious artifacts... how profound must this senior's cultivation be?" Ryan exclaimed.
Henry looked longing and said, "If we had such power, wouldn't we be famous throughout the world?"
Just as they were filled with longing, the door of the Death House was pushed open.
Jake and Ethan walked in from outside.
Ethan pointed at the two men and said, "Boss, these two were beating up the actors in town!"
"This master?" Henry clasped his fist in salute, looking inquisitive.
"Our boss!" Ethan replied.
Ryan perked up and quickly asked, "Did you make those pendants too?"
Jake nodded.
Henry and Ryan exchanged glances.
Could this person be the senior they've been discussing for so long?
Henry was a little puzzled and whispered, "Ryan, I don't know, but other than looking kind of handsome, this person seems ordinary."
Ryan coughed lightly and said, "Henry, think of the Ancient One!"
Henry was surprised and said, "You're right! Ability and appearance have no necessary connection!"
"Yeah," Ryan said. "I see that this senior's aura is normal, he must be living here in seclusion, not wanting to be disturbed. Let's play along."
"Got it!" Henry nodded.
"What are you two whispering about?" Ethan shouted.
"S-Sir... Boss," Henry said awkwardly, then continued, "We were reckless. We almost disturbed the boss's plan. We are willing to bear any losses!"
Jake looked up and down at the two men, frowning as he thought.
According to that tourist outside, he saw these two beating a fierce ghost to the ground with his own eyes.
Looking at the way they talk and dress.
Jake more or less guessed who these two were. Probably some exorcists with some skills.
After all, now that the setting of fierce ghosts is established, it's reasonable for a few exorcists to suddenly appear.
While Jake was thinking, the two men were also very nervous, secretly observing the changes in Jake's expression.
This is a senior master like the Ancient One.
If he gets angry, even the Church might not be able to protect them!
They could only pray silently in their hearts that they hadn't ruined the senior's plan and that they could leave with dignity.
"Whatever I say, will you do it?" Jake asked.
"Yes!"
The two quickly clasped their fists and said, feeling very apprehensive.
They didn't know how the senior would punish them.
"In that case, you can come work for me, specifically managing the Death House area," Jake said.
With the expansion of the amusement park, there were already a few employee shortages.
In addition, this town project is indeed a bit strange, and normal people like Ethan are not suitable for management.
The two exorcists are professionals in the field and are used to seeing many strange things, so it will be much easier to manage!
"Let us work here?"
"Really... Boss, are you kidding?"
The two men suddenly looked up, their eyes filled with joy.
They never thought there would be such a good thing.
This person is a real senior master. Following him to cultivate, even if they only learn half a move, they can have fun with it!
The two thought they would be punished.
Unexpectedly, not only was there no punishment, but there was such a good thing waiting for them.
For a moment, the two were dizzy and immersed in the ocean of happiness.
"It seems like you don't have any objections," Jake said with a smile. "But I'll say the ugly words first, your salary won't be very high!"
"We're willing even without money!"
"Being able to follow Sir... Boss, is a blessing I've cultivated for eight lifetimes, how dare I ask for too much!"
The two men quickly expressed their views.
Ethan was dumbfounded.
Wait.
Are people so easily fooled these days?
