American Exorcism Male God

Night fell over the deserted forest on the outskirts of Boston, with a fire quietly burning.

Xu Yi sat cross-legged beside the fire, the flames illuminating the huge claw mark on his chest, blood dripping down.

But a miraculous scene occurred, those wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, they were as good as new.

This was the power of Hyper Accelerated Regeneration!

When he awoke, he found not only his torn intestines restored to their original state, but the various scars left from combat had disappeared as well, his body restored to a "perfect" condition.

Xu Yi clenched his fist, feeling an endless power inside his body, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Although Hyper Accelerated Regeneration didn't enhance strength or speed, it greatly increased his vitality and stamina.

During combat, he no longer had to be overly cautious, fearing a little bump or scrape would cut his fighting power in half.

Next to the fire lay the body of a brown bear, and the claw mark on Xu Yi's chest had come from this big fellow.

After waking up, he was covered in a thick layer of blood scabs and felt terribly uncomfortable, so he decided to go to the river for a bath.

Unexpectedly, the brown bear had been peeping at him, which sparked Xu Yi's fury, and he decided to teach this shameless bear a good lesson.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have brawled with the brown bear!" Xu Yi mused leisurely.

There were no bullet holes on the bear's body, its head was a mess of flesh, smashed by Xu Yi's own fists, one after another.

"That really hurts!" Xu Yi winced in pain.

Hyper Accelerated Regeneration might heal wounds quickly, but pain was unavoidable; in fact, the pain was even more intense due to the rapid healing.

"How will you compensate for my wounded soul?" Xu Yi looked towards the brown bear.

A moment later, the aroma of meat filled the air, a pair of bear paws and the best part of the back ribs were strung up and roasting over the flames, sizzling.

Xu Yi kept swallowing his saliva as his stomach growled, he had been asleep for a day and a night and was now starving.

The meat would take a while to cook, so Xu Yi, feeling a bit bored, decided to watch a live broadcast.

Through the Nest of the Evil God, Xu Yi's gaze pierced through thousands of mountains and rivers, descending upon the vampire.

When he clearly saw the situation before him, he was stunned.

In front of him was a huge altar, blood converging towards its center; amidst the surging blood and flesh, a humanoid form was slowly taking shape.

Could this be Ryan?

Feeling the overwhelming aura of the other, Xu Yi couldn't help but speculate.

He looked around and noticed a strange person.

There was a person in black standing next to Barton, shrouded in a black cloak, their face meticulously concealed.

Xu Yi frowned slightly, not knowing why, but the figure gave him a vague sense of familiarity.

As time passed, Ryan's body became more and more "lifelike", with all limbs intact and even his facial features vaguely visible. An ominous aura emerged, and Xu Yi felt an inexplicable unease.

Suddenly he remembered the black tadpole extracted from Ryan's flesh.

Ryan's blood quality was only A-grade, but the black tadpole was S-grade. What kind of creature's blood was it?

A dark shadow suddenly pierced through Ryan's body, wildly dancing in the air.

It looked like a black snake without eyes or similar organs, just a huge mouth that, when opened, revealed a menacing set of teeth.

It was the "black tadpole" magnified dozens of times, and Xu Yi's unease grew stronger.

He wondered, how could someone as powerful as Ryan have died?

The thought took root and grew like a weed in his mind, impossible to dismiss.

He had a premonition that the answer to this question would be very important.

Almost instinctively, Xu Yi took out the Magic-Prohibiting Box from the Treasure Box.

The black tadpole had been lying quietly in the box, but as soon as Xu Yi took it out, it became frantic, banging against the box walls and opening its gaping maw, as if it wanted to bite him.

Xu Yi paused, wondering why the black tadpole suddenly became so violently aggressive when it hadn't before.

Then he realized, it was because of the Hyper Accelerated Regeneration!

The Hyper Accelerated Regeneration entries had transformed his body, as well as his blood.

The black tadpoles craved blood of high quality; previously, they had disdained his common human blood. Now that he possessed the Hyper Accelerated Regeneration entries, his blood had become exceptionally sweet, stimulating a bloodthirsty frenzy in the black tadpoles.

Xu Yi no longer cared whether the barbeque was done or not, he tossed it into the Treasure Box and then sprinted out of the woods – he needed to find a place with a signal to make some inquiries.

His phone had been out of signal, but fortunately, he found a small town nestled between the mountains.

Xu Yi forcefully broke into a resident's home, using just a look to fend off the brawny male homeowner.

The homeowner wanted to retrieve the shotgun from the cabinet, but a stack of Franklins tossed in his face quickly dissuaded him.

"I need to borrow your phone."

Ignoring the homeowner's surprised look, Xu Yi dialed the number for Daniel's family.

"Professor Daniel? I have some crucial questions I hope you can answer," Xu Yi said, cutting to the chase, with no time for pleasantries.

"Daniel is still in the lab."

To his surprise, a woman's voice came through the phone. It took Xu Yi a moment to realize, "Mia?"

"It's me, what do you need to ask? I might be able to help you," Mia said, sensing the seriousness in Xu Yi's tone and immediately sounding more attentive.

"It's about Ryan's death. Do you know how he died?" Xu Yi did not conceal his intent.

"I don't know, Daniel might, but I can't reach him right now. However, I know someone who certainly knows more about Ryan than Daniel does," she replied rapidly but clearly.

As a Great Exorcist, Mia had dealt with many critical incidents and was far beyond the capabilities of common people.

For the sake of secrecy, Scientific Research Team Five didn't have things like telephones, making it difficult to get in touch with Daniel.

"Who?" Xu Yi asked eagerly, surprised at this unexpected good news.

"Kohl, the archaeologist who was in charge of the Ryan ruins excavation. This is his home number. I'll call first to brief him on the situation," Mia explained.

"Okay!" Xu Yi hung up promptly. This was not the time for idle chatter.

While waiting, he looked through the window and noticed a black motorcycle in the courtyard.

"Is that yours?" Xu Yi asked the male homeowner, who quickly nodded.

Xu Yi drew a bundle of Franklins from the Treasure Box space and casually threw it to him. He had stored a considerable amount of US dollars in the Treasure Box space, just for emergencies.

"I'll fill up the tank for you right away!" The homeowner grabbed the US dollars, grinning from ear to ear; the money was enough to buy three new bikes.

Feeling it was about time, Xu Yi dialed the new number, "Is this Professor Kohl?"

"Mia has told me everything, ask whatever you want!" A hoarse voice came from the other end of the line.

"Could you tell me how Ryan died?" Xu Yi asked, getting straight to the question he most wanted to know.

"Ryan?" Kohl paused, surprised that Xu Yi was in such a hurry to ask about an academic matter.

But he quickly responded, "According to the inscriptions excavated from the tomb, our interpretation leads to a speculation that Ryan might have committed suicide."

"Suicide?" Xu Yi hadn't expected such an answer at all.

He immediately pressed on, "Why would Ryan commit suicide?"

"Ryan's kingdom had faced a very rare disease. Ryan cured his subjects' illness, but oddly enough, according to our understanding, Ryan knew no medicine," Kohl continued.

"Then Ryan disappeared for a while, and shortly after, his remains were found in the basement of the kingdom, apparently having died from self-immolation."

Could it be the wasting disease? A thought suddenly struck Xu Yi.

"Although the reason for Ryan's suicide is unknown for now, the word that kept appearing frequently as we deciphered the inscriptions translates to…" Kohl took a deep breath before speaking more slowly, "Evil Deity."

Xu Yi hung up, mounted the motorcycle, and twisted the throttle to the max. The bike roared and darted forward.

The leather jacket rustled in the wind; it was a gift from the bike's owner to Xu Yi.

He continued to observe the altar through the Nest of the Evil God, with more and more "black snakes" emerging from Ryan's body, like countless tentacles. The "black snakes" roared at those present, and a foreboding aura filled the air.

Xu Yi needed to get there immediately to halt the ritual.

He didn't want to play the role of a firefighter, but the memory of the black tadpoles in the forest was still chilling.

He also didn't want to meddle, but if he left it alone, would the creature inside Ryan's body, once it smelled his blood, spare him?
