Rhode stood high above, looking down at the pleading evil spirit with a bright smile like an angel descending from heaven.

But in the evil spirit's eyes, this smile was more terrifying than a demon.

"No..."

"May your Lord bless you."

Sacrifice!

A deep light flashed, and the evil spirit in front of him instantly turned into nothingness.

Rhode clapped his hands and stood up.

He wasn't an unreasonable person, and not all evil spirits had to be eliminated.

There were many types of evil spirits, and the one just now was a particularly vicious type.

Relying solely on hatred and obsession, it lingered in the human world and, driven by resentment, would harm all living people around it.

Keeping it around would only be a disaster.

Since living was so tiring, it was better to let him be liberated.

He himself was freed, which could be considered a contribution to spreading justice in this world.

Immeasurable merit.

"I'm such a good person!"

Chapter 39: The Source Beneath the Haunted House!

"I wonder what kind of reward this sacrifice will bring."

Rhode was a little expectant.

After all, this was his first time sacrificing something like an evil spirit.

Maybe it would bring him some surprises.

Whoosh!

A burst of stinging pain suddenly came from his eyes, and Rhode gasped and covered his eyes.

He felt a cold aura lingering in his eyes.

As this tearing pain subsided, Rhode felt as if some unknown change had occurred in the entire world.

"It doesn't seem like there's much of a change?"

Rhode muttered, scanning his surroundings.

His vision hadn't become farther, nor had it become clearer.

It seemed like everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

A glance at the villa behind him caused Rhode's pupils to constrict.

In his vision, the originally high-profile and luxurious three-story villa suddenly became desolate and dilapidated.

The entire villa was shrouded in a layer of terrifying shadows.

Rhode looked at the underground area that was constantly emitting black gas.

Clearly, the reason this villa had become a haunted house was because of something in the villa's basement.

He didn't know what it was, but it had such strong resentment.

Just looking at it gave people a strong sense of discomfort.

Resentment, unwillingness, pain!

Feeling that powerful, hateful, and evil aura, Rhode's scalp tingled a little.

He never thought that there would be such a terrifying thing under this haunted house.

No wonder so many people had died in this haunted house over the years.

Fortunately, this power was confined to the villa; otherwise, the entire town would probably become a living hell.

After calming down, Rhode's eyes showed some eagerness.

Although intuitively, he wasn't sure he could handle that ghostly thing under the villa.

But, should he be a coward just because he couldn't win?

That didn't make sense.

As the saying goes, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

This thing was so dangerous; if he could sacrifice it, he knew without thinking that there would be great benefits.

If he couldn't kill it once, he would just do it a few more times.

Anyway, this thing couldn't move underground; even if he cut it slowly with a dull knife, he could still bleed it dry little by little.

Rhode glanced at the gloomy haunted house and turned to leave.

Sacrificing that evil spirit had given him a pair of spiritual eyes that could see through the realms of yin and yang.

But it hadn't given him the power to fight evil spirits.

Although firearms could kill powerful fantasy creatures like werewolves,

it wasn't certain that they would be effective against incorporeal beings like evil spirits.

Now, the only thing he had that could harm evil spirits was that crucifix necklace blessed with holy power.

The holy power contained in this necklace could easily kill ordinary evil spirits.

But it might not be able to destroy the source of evil under the villa.

Without the means to deal with evil spirits, rashly breaking into the villa with his current strength would be like delivering food.

As for the safety of the Tesa family, he wasn't too worried.

Although he didn't know why, it was clear that these evil spirits were planning something.

Or perhaps there were some rules restricting them, preventing them from harming this family for the time being.

Otherwise, with the means of these evil spirits, killing these three ordinary people would be a simple matter.

There was no need to put on such a show.

The new neighbors wouldn't be in any danger for the time being.

And he needed to find a way to purify evil spirits during this time.

"It wouldn't hurt to try my luck at the church."

Rhode stroked his chin.

The evil spirits in the Beacon Country were not quite the same as the eerie things in his impression.

Or rather, the two things were completely different systems.

The eerie things in his impression were afraid of sunlight.

But the evil spirits of the Beacon Country could still move freely during the day.

Peach wood swords and the like had little effect on evil spirits.

Things like roosters and black dog blood were probably useless too.

The evil spirits here didn't buy into that at all.

On the contrary, things like crucifixes, Bibles, silverware, and mirrors had a strong killing effect on these evil spirits.

Although he didn't know the principle, he could start from this aspect.

This was also called adapting to local customs.

However, ordinary silverware and crucifixes contained very little power.

It was difficult enough to deal with weaker evil spirits, let alone the evil spirit under the villa.

What was truly valuable were those ancient objects that had been baptized by faith and blessed with holy power.

The carrier was secondary; what was truly valuable was the power of faith contained in these ancient objects.

The power of faith came from the mind and soul.

This intangible power was useless to ordinary people.

However, after his sacrifice, it could become a tangible treasure with great power.

His crucifix necklace blessed with holy power was obtained in this way.

His sacrifice ability was essentially equivalent exchange.

He could sacrifice any item and receive an equivalent reward.

And among all the things he had sacrificed so far, the most valuable things were souls and faith.

Secondly, it was knowledge.

Sacrificing knowledge could directly master the knowledge and truth contained within.

Sacrificing souls could obtain the other party's knowledge and power.

And faith was the purest and most mysterious thing.

Any item containing faith, once sacrificed, would receive a return far beyond imagination.

If all the sacrificed things were divided into different grades, faith, souls, and knowledge.

These three things were the top chips in the pyramid.

Therefore, instead of sacrificing ordinary things, it would be better to find a historic church and directly sacrifice the entire church.

It would definitely bring him a rich harvest.

Of course, this was just thinking about it.

If a church mysteriously disappeared, the entire Beacon Country would probably be turned upside down.

It might even be labeled as a miracle.

At that time, he wouldn't be able to hide it anymore.

He would be exposed in minutes.

"What a pain..."

Rhode sighed.

Although it was a bit troublesome, it wasn't without hope.

Those ancient objects with history and origin, if you were willing to spend money, weren't impossible to buy.

In this era of capitalism, money is God.

Returning home, before his butt could even get warm.

Knock knock knock!

The door was suddenly knocked on.

Who is it so late?

Rhode curiously opened the door, and a figure rushed straight towards him.

The familiar scent and feel instantly calmed Rhode, who was about to explode.

"Honey, hurry."
