Finally caught, huh?

That was Su Lu’s first thought when Rod was exposed.

Using forged documents everyday, and you thought the detectives and bodyguards don’t possess specialized training in identifying documents?

“Wait… hold on!”

Observing the guards preparing to draw their weapons, Rod hurriedly said to Lady Xi Ling, “Do you also think it’s a case created by ordinary people? This is a supernatural incident, and we are professionals in this field!”

“Supernatural? I see only two frauds!”

A female bodyguard waved her hand, “Arrest them!”

“What do we do?”

Su Lu asked Rod.

“You deal with it, you’re better suited for this situation!” Rod responded, his arms crossed, nonchalantly.

Su Lu sighed, “We truly are Transcendents, why don’t you believe us?”

“Hmph ! ”

The immediate response from the female bodyguard was a scoff. “Watch my spiritual medium power!”

Su Lu took a deep breath and suddenly unleashed his spirit oppression.

Whoosh!

Like a hurricane passing by!

The ordinary people in the living room immediately felt a fearsome weight on their spirits, and their connection with their bodies was heavily suppressed, causing them to collapse.

Especially the bodyguards, they all kneeled down.

After all, they were at most trained ordinary people with a spirit data of not more than 1.5. The gap between them and Su Lu was too big, creating a crushing effect.

This was because Su Lu was being reserved; otherwise, not only would everyone in the room faint, but there may also be the unseemly act of defecating and urinating.

‘You!”

The female bodyguard was kneeling on the ground, her bones creaking, ‘What just happened?”

The evidence was in front of her, forcing her to believe in the existence of supernatural power.

Seeing the situation turning favorable, Su Lu turned to Lady Xi Ling, who was slumped in her chair, “Now…do you believe us?”

“I…believe…you guys! Katy, cooperate with them fully.”

Lady Xi Ling strained to speak, still recovering from the previous oppression, even though Su Lu was very merciful.

“Yes, ma’am!”

The female bodyguard picked herself up, her expression towards Su Lu filled with fear.

In that moment, she almost thought she was facing a Giant Dragon from the legends, confronting its Dragon Might!

The same went for the other bodyguards when they stood up, hardly daring to meet Su Lu’s gaze.

“Good!”

Rod clapped his hands, “In fact… we are protectors sent by the Goddess Church!

Considering Lady Xi Ling is still in danger, we will provide protection!” “Members of the Goddess Church? Praise the Goddess!”

Lady Xi Ling made a prayer sign, her expression considerably relaxed.

The female bodyguard Katy, on the other hand, wore a strange expression, as if she would bite Su Lu if she could – why didn’t you say you were Church members in the first place? What’s the need for fake documents?

After Lady Xi Ling said a few more words, she became shy and went to change her clothes with the help of a maid.

Taking the opportunity, Su Lu went to Rod, “I find one thing strange! With the strength of the Cursed Spirit, it should be no problem to kill everyone in the gallery instantly, so why are there survivors?”

“I’ve heard my father discuss this question.” Rod had a reminiscing expression, “The Cursed Spirit kills according to certain patterns, generally kills one by one and there are certain intervals in between. This is, of course, not because of mercy, but a rule set by those who create the Cursed Spirit, just to spread terror!”

Su Lu immediately understood.

For example, if all the people going to the gallery died at once, it would make a great sensation, then the news would be suppressed and fabricated into a man-made attack or accidental explosion, and the remaining people would go on about their lives.

But according to the Cursed Spirit’s killing routine, there must be a gap between each killing. This is deliberately creating survivors to spread terror, spread various bizarre killing methods, some survivors can live for over a decade, even a lifetime, they are the best witnesses! They prove the existence of the Fierce Ghost, and will actively promote it.

“Any evil entities mostly derive joy from human fear!” Rod concluded, “They don’t need specific faith, as death and fear are the best faith!”

“That’s to say, killing one by one slowly will create a more terrifying atmosphere than killing all at once?”

Su Lu immediately understood, “Indeed, they are all masters of manipulating human emotions!”

Demons and evil entities create Cursed Spirits, forging undying spirits of curses, who tirelessly spread fear worldwide.

This method is completely opposite to that of the church and truly asserts the Evil God’s actions!

“And there’s one more thing… Is it really okay to openly show supernatural power in front of ordinary people?”

Su Lu looked at the guards near them and asked skeptically.

“Supernatural power has always existed. High-ranking officials of the Federation, secret institutions, societies, and even major families or high-level social circles know about this… Even among ordinary people, there are many who know this secret!” Rod shrugged, “What’s the problem with a few more or less knowing? Besides, it’s for their own good!”

Seeing the awe-stricken bodyguards, Su Lu suddenly understood.

Private detectives and bodyguards are perhaps the ordinary people most likely to encounter supernatural power outside the official circles.

Knowing some inside information in advance and maintaining a reverential heart might increase their chances of survival the next time they encounter it.

“Sirs, the lady invites you to dinner!”

At this time, a middle-aged steward came over, inviting them sincerely and politely, “As an apology for the incident just now!”

Rod promptly agreed.

Su Lu had never experienced a wealthy family’s dinner before, so it was a real eye-opener.

In the dining room with a huge crystal chandelier hanging in it, the long table was covered with a white cloth, and the burning silver candelabra and gas lamps drove away all the darkness.

The tableware was all made of silver, exquisite and grand, taken care of, and arranged by specialized maids.

Moreover, in such a wealthy family, various maids’ duties were completely separated, even to a pedantic point.

What Su Lu found most memorable was the lavish dinner, prepared by a specialized chef. After knowing that both of them were from Gusta State, he specially made local pies and grilled fish, which Rod highly praised.

“Praise the Goddess!”

As the master of the house was on a trip for business, Lady Xi Ling was currently the lady of the house.

She was the first to raise her wine glass to toast, and Su Lu and Rod promptly followed, “Praise the Goddess!”

The atmosphere was great for a while, if one could ignore the potential arrival of the Cursed Spirit.

After the main course, the three savored desserts, when suddenly, Lady Xi Ling, holding a wine glass in her hand, looked affected, “I think I remember…

the image of that ghost!”
