"In this life, we have reached our limit. We must be reborn to the next. But this doesn't mean literal death. The burdens of your past mistakes will be carried by your previous life, just as the beauty you long for in your heart will one day take root and bloom," the overlord said.While listening to the overlord's words, Felix had to admit that his speech was incredibly persuasive. If recovering from cancer was also part of the experience, resisting brainwashing would be nearly impossible."Come on, Felix," Yanny urged. "Every new member gets a personal meeting with the overlord after the sermon."As the others left the hall, Yanny led Felix forward.With his palms pressed together and smiles in place, Felix played his role well. He added a touch of awkwardness, letting his eyes show a mixture of uncertainty and longing."Felix, welcome to Rebirth Sect."After supposedly summoning his courage, Felix asked, "When will my illness be cured, sir? The doctors told me I only have thre
Felix narrowed his eyes. He believed this so-called step to some extent. After all, this was an organization; it was normal to haze the newcomers. However, Yanny said that there was a second step, which made him doubtful. Yanny lay on the bed as she looked at Felix, who stood frozen with his head turned away. She said seriously, "Give me a massage, and don't miss a spot. Otherwise, you'll be punished!"Felix heaved a sigh of relief. He had thought it would be something more extreme. But this was harmless, an inconvenience at best. Just as he was about to go over, a thought rang in his mind.No, what if there was a third step? Besides, he didn't know whether she was a human or a Malevolent Phantom. But even if she was human, he would never engage with her this way."I'm sorry, but I haven't been able to feel much since I got a brain tumor."Yanny seemed prepared for this response and smiled. "I'm not asking you for anything. Take this as your treatment. I'm already a senior in Reb
The older woman, Mylo, pounced at Felix, and he quickly grabbed her wrist, pretending to panic. "N-No! I don't want this."In his mind, he thought of a small trick to play on her. If this woman was indeed a Malevolent Phantom, she couldn't resist. Otherwise, if he died, that would be a waste of a soul. Even so, he dared not look at her with his Spirit Eye. He wanted to wait until she showed her fangs. Besides, there was nothing to hide now.Sure enough, Mylo licked her lips and allowed Felix to grab her wrist. She feigned shyness. "Oh! You're holding me too tightly! It hurts!" However, Felix immediately felt a strange disturbance in his soul."Ack! You're not an ordinary person!" she screamed in shock. Fortunately, Felix had set up a sound barrier in advance, so there was no need to worry about sound escaping."Hahaha! So you're really a Malevolent Phantom!" Felix shouted.Mylo had launched an attack on Felix's soul! But it was quickly deflected by his Infinite Shield, which m
Felix was so shocked that he was speechless. Rebirth Sect had 50 Malevolent Phantoms? What was this? If he hadn't just tortured Mylo's spirit and seen the truth with his own eyes, he would've thought she was lying.Upon seeing his reaction, Mylo quickly added, "It's true! There are really 50 Malevolent Phantoms in Rebirth Sect—five A-tiers, 15 B-tiers, and 30 C-tiers. It's all true!"Such a number of Malevolent Phantoms gathering together was unheard of and completely different from their usual way of life. "Why are you all gathering?" Felix asked.Perhaps Mylo was afraid of being tortured by Felix, for she answered immediately, "Because of food! You humans are growing stronger; even martial artists who don't know soul attacks can kill us C-tier Malevolent Phantoms."Besides, we have to avoid surveillance and getting caught. But since we came here, we can eat at least two to three times a month! We don't even have to worry about anything, so why not?"Felix pondered about this.
Mylo explained, "We don't lack food, and these ordinary people are all supported by Yosef. He calls this his long-term strategy. None of us Malevolent Phantoms are allowed to touch the staff here. Otherwise, the consequences would be miserable."People like you in the headquarters know that we can't kill one another, but there are many ways to make us suffer. Sometimes even worse than death."Felix's expression turned grim. "So the 'lack of food' means people like me who come and see Riley for his reputation?"Mylo shrank back from the intensity of Felix's gaze. Murderous energy filled every inch of the room, and she quickly turned away. "Yes, patients are coming here for treatments. Us C-tier Malevolent Phantoms just need to play the role of someone who has already been taken by spending time with their families. That's our task. "We have a week to observe their habits so we don't arouse suspicion. Besides, with human emotions, people experience ups and downs in life and often
Felix knew Mylo didn't mean it."Don't get me wrong. I said you must die because I'm here to devour your soul. If you're still alive, the news will reach Yosef's ears in seconds. No matter if he suspects you or me, nothing good comes from it," Mylo explained.Felix agreed. "Alright, I can fake my death, and I guarantee that no one will notice it. However, you have to tell me how you're going to deal with the dead body first."There was no crematorium here, so it was unlikely that the bodies would be burned. It would create heavy smoke, and Yosef wasn't that stupid."Buried in soil, in the backyard of Rebirth Sect. A layer of underground was dug out during construction, and that's where the bodies are buried. However, fresh bodies have to be stored in the morgue for three days."Some Malevolent Phantoms like to destroy bodies for pleasure, and it's allowed by Yosef. So if someone enters, you'll have to find a way to hide," Mylo said.Felix took a deep breath, composing himself. "W
According to the three-day rule, ten people had died within such a short time. So, just how many people had died since Rebirth Sect was established? Felix feared it was a large number."This group of monsters!" he thought. He clenched his fists angrily but felt powerless. His current strength wasn't enough to protect over a thousand people and kill 50 Malevolent Phantoms at once.His only hope was Billy now. Felix hoped that Mylo could do as promised and pass on his message. If she dared to lie, then he could only wait until he was sent to the burial area before finding a way to escape. Ever since he had entered this place, he had been manipulated at every turn, whether it was the confiscation of his phone or the encounter with the Malevolent Phantom. Otherwise, how could he have fallen for these tricks? All this information could be obtained if he was truly brutal toward Mylo. Instead, he gambled his chances for once. After about an hour, the door rang. Just when Felix thought
Something was wrong, but Yosef didn't know what. The person next to him looked confused and asked, "What do you mean?"Yosef rubbed his chin before finally making a decision. "Gather everyone in the courtyard tomorrow. Remember, I want every single person there. I want to investigate each person one by one."Damn! Over a thousand people to be gathered, and he'd check one by one?"Is this necessary? Isn't that a little too much?"Yosef sneered. "I built Rebirth Sect with my own two hands. I want to play this as safely as I can. I feel like the combustion is too odd. What if, despite all our precautions, someone from the headquarters snuck in?"It's best to retaliate before we get beaten to the ground."The person next to him was still confused. But since they were both A-tier Malevolent Phantoms, he asked a few more questions."But with more than a thousand people as hostages, even if someone managed to sneak in, they would be absolutely helpless. Wasn't that what you said before
