Yin Yang had experienced this feeling once before, back when he broke through to Sequence 7 and became a High Priest.
It was as if the entire world had suddenly become more vivid.
However, once he had stabilized at Sequence 7, that sensation had gradually faded away.
Yin Yang turned to look around him. The voices of the sofa, the cabinets, and other objects were very muffled, making communication difficult.
This meant their spirituality was too low. If he wanted to find something with high spirituality, there was one right in front of him.
Canned Food!
In Yin Yang's eyes, Canned Food was no longer just a tabby cat.
He was a dark shadow—a cat-shaped silhouette of darkness.
As if sensing Yin Yang’s gaze, Canned Food shot him a curious look.
“Whew...”
Yin Yang let out a long breath and turned his gaze toward the Security Bureau.
But the moment his eyes drifted in that direction, the hair on his body stood on end!
His very soul began to recoil from within!
He had an incredibly powerful premonition.
Danger!
Death!
This feeling was even stronger than when he had looked at the dark shadow beneath the sea in Huanggang!
Back then, the feeling was that a single glance would lead to being parasitized.
Now, the feeling was that a single glance would mean certain death!
There was an existence inside that building more terrifying than an evil god!
Yin Yang decisively looked away. The world around him returned to normal as he deactivated his Perception skill.
This startled him; he hadn't expected that gathering faith would provide such a benefit. He could now manually toggle his Perception skill on and off, which solved many of his problems.
It was like mind-reading; if one couldn't control the switch, hearing the inner thoughts of everyone nearby would be nothing short of torture.
At the Security Bureau.
Outside the Hidden Vault.
Uncle Guo looked up toward the cafe, light gradually returning to his hollow eyes.
“Who was peering this way?”
He looked left and right, and after finding nothing unusual, he retreated back into his chair, tightening his padded coat around him.
“Troubled times indeed,” he muttered.
...
After discovering that such an entity resided within the Security Bureau, Yin Yang decisively changed locations.
As the old saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.
Then again, a gentleman does not stand under a crumbling wall!
Canned Food followed behind Yin Yang, not worried in the slightest about his subordinate's safety.
After all, a cat's agility was something to be trusted.
As Yin Yang's strength grew, the speed at which the blade-wielding ghost and the lantern-carrying ghost rescued people increased as well.
Previously, the blade-wielding ghost would sense and mark victims, then the lantern-carrying ghost would use those marks to find them, put them into the book box, and carry them outside to be released.
Though the two worked in perfect harmony, their efficiency had its limits.
But things were different now. The most significant change was that the 'retrieval' range of the lantern-carrying ghost's book box had expanded!
It no longer needed to physically enter a space to pack someone away. Now, as long as a target was within a certain range and had been marked by the blade-wielding ghost, it could simply pull them into the book box and release them elsewhere. It was incredibly convenient.
This vastly increased the speed of their rescue operations.
The more people they saved, the more people praised the Lord of Rebirth and Communion!
Gradually, even the security officers became aware that a deity with the honorific title of Lord of Rebirth and Communion was performing miracles to save people!
This left them with very complicated feelings.
On one hand, most of the Security Bureau did not believe in gods. Even if they did, they could only believe in the War God of Great Wei!
This was true for everyone within official channels.
Aside from him, only the Goddess of Harvest was considered an orthodox deity; all others were deemed evil gods.
Was this current display of miracles intended to save lives, or was it a recruitment drive for a cult?
On the other hand, these security officers felt that whether a god was 'evil' or not didn't matter at a time like this. Whoever could pull people out of the rubble was a true god!
Thus, they chose to look the other way, ignoring the growing volume of prayers around them.
Some members of the Security Bureau even began to pray silently in their hearts, hoping this newly discovered deity would save even more lives.
More and more faith converged, snowballing into something massive!
Yin Yang took a deep breath, looking up at the sky with a soft sigh.
“With this rate of growth, I'm almost tempted to manufacture natural disasters myself just to play the savior.”
Of course, Yin Yang was only speaking in jest.
In reality, there was no need for such trouble. As long as he investigated those cults and learned their next moves, couldn't he act as a true savior then?
Not only would that save him the cost of creating a disaster, but he might even gain something extra. It was a win-win situation.
Whoosh!
A figure streaked across the sky, tearing through the clouds!
It was Wang Gen!
Wang Gen's current speed was incredible, comparable to a jet fighter.
While Su Baadao was using a sealed object to trap the Demigods, Wang Gen hadn't been idle either.
Anyone with ties to the cults was being dealt with.
Those with proof against them were killed on the spot!
Those without proof were arrested!
This was typical of him. If it had been Su Baadao, he certainly would have used the chaos to storm into the major families and kill a few people.
After all, with the earthquake and the collapse of communications, what did a few deaths matter?
But Wang Gen was different. He was the Bureau Chief; he had his own bottom line.
It was precisely because of this that he had spent so many years as a Bureau Chief in a small place like Meng City. He had trained generation after generation of disciples, and some had even risen to equal status with him.
If Su Baadao hadn't brought him along, he likely would have stayed in Meng City for the rest of his life, right until retirement and death!
Even so, he didn't regret it, because some things required a bottom line.
Especially in his position, he had to guard that line even more fiercely!
Because if he took even one step back, countless people would exploit the gap in the rules to harm the common folk.
Therefore, he could never retreat!
Whoosh!
Wang Gen vanished without a trace.
Yin Yang retracted his gaze, adjusted his expression, and sprinted back to the warehouse to grab a batch of medical supplies he had purchased earlier.
Originally, these were intended for emergencies—if a cat got injured while he was away and the pet hospital was closed, Nie Pi would have the means to provide basic treatment.
There was also a first-aid kit at the company office, which served as a backup, making this one a backup for the backup.
As for the most comprehensive medical kit, it was naturally inside the lantern-carrying ghost's book box.
However, the lantern-carrying ghost was currently busy saving believers and had no time to return and deliver it.
Yin Yang ran with the medical kit in hand and soon came across an injured person.
The man's shoulder had been crushed by falling rocks. He was bleeding profusely, and his lips had turned white from shock.
A woman beside him was clutching him and wailing, screaming for help.
“Hold on!”
Yin Yang sprinted over, pulled out a pair of scissors, and cut open the man's clothing.
“Don't be afraid. I have a rescue certification and a medical license. This is just a minor issue. I'll give you some emergency treatment first. You'll be fine.”
Hearing this, the woman seemed to find a pillar of support. She sobbed, “Please, you must save my husband. I beg of you.”
“Don't worry!”
Yin Yang cut away the fabric around the shoulder and glanced at the wound. Fortunately, because the clothing had acted as a shield, there was almost no debris inside.
He took out a bottle of medicine and poured it directly onto the wound to clean it. The man's face grew even paler from the pain, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans dripped from his forehead.
“Be brave!”
As Yin Yang spoke, he sprinkled some white medicinal powder onto the wound and then took out bandages to begin wrapping it.
His movements were incredibly practiced, and he finished bandaging the wound with ease. He then packed his things and prepared to run ahead, saying as he went, “Don't make any sudden movements. Go to an open area and wait for rescue!”
Seeing him leave, the woman hurriedly shouted, “Doctor! Which hospital are you from? Where can we go to thank you?”
Yin Yang waved his hand, indicating there was no need for thanks.
It was only then that the woman noticed a line of text embroidered on the back of the 'doctor's' jacket:
Gold Medal Pest Control Company!
