Chapter 421: Whatever a mortal desires,

Yu Ba, who was guarding the door, waited for a long time.

"Come out?" Seeing them coming out, Yu Ba hurried forward.

With so many high-level contract masters working together, he was not worried about the mission failing.

Mi Lan yawned and stretched, "Don't worry, even though he was a fierce demon, he was finally beaten."

Yu Ba nodded. Seeing Mi Lan's expression, which looked as if she was tired and wanted to go back to sleep, he quickly instructed, "Don't forget to write the mission report."

Mi Lan waved her hand and got in the car: "Let Lu Zhe handle this kind of thing. It's a good opportunity to train his abilities."

Lu Zhe wanted to cry but had no tears, but he didn't dare to complain, so he could only nod in agreement.

Everyone returned to the headquarters, some took a shower, some ate, and some wrote reports.

Only a lot of logistics personnel were left on site to clean up the aftermath.

After this group of newcomers who participated in the mission went back and had a good rest, they met their fellow newcomers and began to brag about everything they saw during the mission.

"Is it really that ferocious and weird?"

"I saw on Yigui.com that everyone in that city was evacuated because it caused quite a stir online. I never thought it was because a ferocious monster appeared in that city."

"I want to see some of these evil-level monsters too. Most of the missions out now are some wandering soul-level monsters, and a few are vengeful spirits."

"Is the Taoist priest so awesome? He can freeze a vicious demon with just one glance?"

"Hiss, Captain Wang is indeed worthy of being an S-rank Contract Master. When I was training under him before, I knew that Captain Wang was definitely a real man. Whoever gets hit by that punch will know for sure."

"Captain Jie is also very bad, right? Schrödinger's A-level, this strength is completely supermodel."

"I know this. Because it's unstable, we can only suppress its strength at the moment. Overall, it can only be rated A."

"Huh? Have you seen the latest news posted on the intranet forum?"

"what?"

"It seems that the Taoist priest is going to preside over a prayer ceremony outside the headquarters to see if it has any effect."

"Pray to the gods? Do we, the Contract Masters, believe in this?"

"No, I heard it's his special ability due to his strange contract."

"I'm a little curious, can we go and take a look?"

"I don't know. I haven't received any notification."

"It shouldn't be a big deal to just take a look. If it's truly a dangerous ability, they probably wouldn't leak the information to the internal network."

The intranet is the website of the Trickster.

All the people active in it are the Contract Masters and some staff of the headquarters, such as logistics personnel, doctors, researchers and so on.

"I see some people are already clamoring to join in the fun."

The Taoist priest handed over the arrangements for the prayer ceremony to the logistics staff.

As for the venue, the Taoist priest chose a place outside the headquarters, on a plain about three kilometers away from the headquarters.

The reason for choosing such a far distance is that we are afraid that something unexpected may happen during the prayer ceremony, which will implicate the headquarters.

After all, there are not only contract masters in the headquarters, but also many ordinary employees with no abilities.

The logistics staff drove to the destination, and after a dozen people were busy running around carrying things, they began to set up the scene.

Soon, an altar for prayer ceremonies was built.

They even set up a huge incense burner, and placed a lot of fruits, vegetables, pig heads, chickens, ducks and other offerings in front of the incense burner.

The Taoist priest calculated the time with his fingers.

On the 20th, eight o'clock in the evening is a good time, which is suitable for worshiping gods.

Although the Taoist priest is not a Taoist in the broad sense, because compared to believing in those Taoist ancestors, he pursues the Tao of nature more.

In other words, he just wanted to become an immortal.

The Taoist priest always said that he wanted to become an immortal, to live as long as the heavens, and to be immortal.

Yang Yu and Zhao Hun followed behind the Taoist priest.

They had just finished Wang Qing's nightmare training and were now new recruits under the guidance of the Taoist priest.

When the Taoist priest talked about this matter, they asked to watch from the side.

The Taoist priest thought about it and nodded, agreeing to their request.

Yang Yu stood at the foot of the altar and asked, "What do you think this prayer is used for?"

Zhao Hun: "Praying to the gods, it sounds like asking the gods for something, probably to summon the gods to come and ask them to satisfy your desires."

"Desire...?" Yang Yu's eyes flashed.

After Yang Yu repeated it, Zhao Hun realized that he had said it wrong. He quickly corrected himself, "Ah? I said it wrong. It should be 'wish'."

The Taoist priest had stood beside them at some point and continued, "It's actually correct to say it's desire."

“Many desires exist in the world.”

“Everyone desires what they want.”

"I am also a mortal, and I am not immune to worldly matters."

Yang Yu: "What is it that the Taoist priest wants?"

Yang Yu was actually quite curious. After all, during the time he had been with the Taoist priest, he could see that the Taoist priest was a very free and easy person.

Maybe it was the Taoist robe that gave him a certain effect. In short, the Taoist priest had the unique temperament of a Taoist practitioner. He looked very calm and unworldly, without the impetuous air of other people.

Sometimes when I follow the Taoist priest, I feel a sense of tranquility and my heart naturally becomes calm.

All those messy thoughts will be smoothed out.

Although the Taoist priest eats meat normally, has no precepts, and even has a strange wife, he has an otherworldly temperament, as if he is not of this world.

"What I seek, do you know what the Tao is?"

Yang Yu and Zhao Hun were confused.

They are all modern young people who have accepted scientific ideas and have no faith. For them, they may cram at the last minute during exams and interviews.

They may even worship the God of Wealth, hoping to get rich one day, but it is impossible to make them truly believe in anything.

Especially after they became tricksters.

The passion of young people always makes them carry a fighting spirit of "my destiny is in my own hands".

As for God?

Is that something edible?

If it works, you can worship it; if it doesn’t work, just forget about it.

Yang Yu thought for a moment and said, "Most of my understanding of Tao comes from online novels, which are probably about the Way of Heaven, laws, and the Great Dao."

Zhao Hun: "Pretty much. I mostly read conspiracy theories, like how the laws of nature are cruel and everything is treated like straw dogs."

Both of them clearly stated that their understanding of Tao is that one of the ten orifices is open, and the other is not.

The Taoist priest smiled, his hands clasped behind his back: "Tao... only I am free, only my mind is free, the Tao follows nature. This is the Tao I have been pursuing."

"Of course, I pursue the Tao for only one purpose, and that is to achieve immortality."

The two of them shouted in surprise at the same time: "Eternal Life?"

"Yes, immortality."
