Confess System: Picking Up Girls After Girls, Try Not to Get Killed! Chapter 227 Purification Ritual



"Lord Felix... is this really necessary?" asked Heloise, visibly hesitant.

"Yes, during the 'Karmic Imprint Purification Ritual,' the sinner must confess their transgressions to the Benevolent Deity," replied Felix.

"But... the tigern race's weakness... cannot be exposed to others..."

"Don't worry, the 'Benevolent Deity' and its 'ssenger' are not 'people'. Our existence is on a different dinsion from yours."

"Alright... then... Lord Nefarious Tiger King, please understand... this is a necessary compromise under the circumstances..."

"Heloise, if it makes you feel better, you can turn your back towards ."

"Mm, okay..."

With great reluctance, Heloise removed her top, her heart pounding furiously.

She had never exposed her body in front of others since her childhood.

"Good, next, drink this."

"What is this...?"

"It's a divine elixir that will help you cleanse your karmic imprint more thoroughly."

"Um... it feels very thick... it's hard to swallow... Do I have to drink it all?"

"Yes."

Heloise swallowed hard several tis, finally managing to consu the divine elixir.

"Good, next, I will sprinkle holy water on your back. It might be a bit cold, just endure it."

"Alright... Ah, ya!"

"Is it very cold?"

"Um... a bit..."

"It's okay, it's over now, you can put your clothes back on."

"Um, okay..."

Despite facing away from Felix, Heloise felt an intense wave of embarrassnt.

Her entire body felt hot, her heart seed ready to leap out of her chest at any mont. All of this made it impossible for her to stop trembling.

But, in order to wash away her sins and karmic imprint, she had to bear it.

After all, she was the one who launched the first attack on Felix.

Even if Felix wasn't a ssenger of the Benevolent Deity, she should have been killed after her defeat. It was Felix's rcy that allowed her to live until now.

Reflecting on her fight with Felix, Heloise now realized that Felix did not attack her at all during the entire battle. He was only defending and evading.

— (The ssenger of the Benevolent Deity is really too kind...)

— (Why did Lord Earthly Ghost get it wrong this ti...?)

— (How can soone as good as Felix be a demon?)

.

After the "Purification Ritual" was completed, Felix told Heloise that he had just expended a lot of divine power and needed to rest.

He then sat down by the fire and began to ditate. Heloise dressed herself and also sat down by the fire.

She didn't dare to disturb Felix's rest, so she just quietly watched the flickering flas, occasionally stealing glances at Felix.

In the depths of her heart, subtle feelings of affection began to stir unknowingly.

What Heloise couldn't imagine at all was that she had been completely fooled by this "ssenger of the Benevolent Deity, Felix".

.

Although Tyler had his eyes closed, he was always aware of the situation around him.

Only after confirming that Heloise had co over to sit down did he feel at ease to truly start thinking.

After all, he didn't want his next move to be disrupted by a sudden contact from the Earthly Ghost.

At this mont, the idiot loli was cursing in Tyler's mind, criticizing him for pretending to be a prophet and taking advantage of Heloise.

Tyler ignored her and skillfully blocked out her voice. In this precious mont, he could hardly spare any effort to think about anything other than rescuing Heloise.

The real purpose of Tyler's trick to coax Heloise into the "Purification Ritual" was to make Heloise believe that "there is a problem with her body that needs to be treated".

Only in this way could Tyler permanently get Heloise to cooperate with the subsequent treatnt plan.

Otherwise, Heloise, who couldn't detect the "Parasitic Blood Serpent," would have no reason to let "Felix" examine her back.

Tyler had accomplished four key objectives during the purification ritual.

Firstly, he confird that the "Parasitic Blood Serpent" was only on Heloise's back.

Secondly, he determined the infection rate of the "Parasitic Blood Serpent."

Thirdly, he administered the "primary antidote" (holy water) to Heloise and recorded the associated data.

Lastly, he splashed the "primary antidote" on Heloise's back to confirm its effectiveness.

Upon completion of these tasks, Tyler concluded the purification ritual. He needed so ti to process the information and ponder his next steps.

The overall situation was a mixed bag of good and bad news, with the latter overshadowing the forr.

The only good news was that the "Parasitic Blood Serpent" was only located on Heloise's back and had not infected other parts of her body.

The bad news, however, was manifold.

Firstly, based on the current rate of infection, the "Parasitic Blood Serpent" would complete the infection around the 7th of July.

This date coincided with the day before Tyler's predicted date of demise and was consistent with his earlier calculations.

If Tyler did not intervene, Heloise would either be killed or self-destruct on the 7th of July, leading to Tyler's death from poisoning the next day.

This ant that Tyler only had three days left to save Heloise.

Secondly, in a desperate attempt, Tyler had Heloise ingest his concocted primary antidote in the hope of seeing so positive effects — such as a slowdown in the infection rate — during the next infection progress check.

Similarly, he splashed the primary antidote on the infected area on Heloise's back to see if the topical application would have any effect.

Unfortunately, the infected area showed no reaction.

Therefore, after these trials, all Tyler could do was to provide treatnt to Heloise as much as possible without delaying their journey, striving to reach Delis Town ahead of schedule.

He hoped to gather information about the "Parasitic Blood Serpent" in the town, or perhaps find the so-called "clergy" to save Heloise.

(No... There are too many "possibilities" and "uncertainties"...)

After his contemplation, Tyler did not experience any enlightennt. Instead, he beca even more pessimistic.

At the mont, Heloise appeared to be a lively girl, but in reality, her life was like a burning candle that had reached the end of its wick, entering the countdown to death.

.

Was there really no other way to save her?

.

Tyler didn't understand why he was so desperate to save Heloise. He knew that his concern went beyond the fear of losing a useful pawn.

Perhaps, he didn't want to repeat the tragedy of his father, whom he couldn't save.

Or perhaps, he harbored other feelings deep within his heart.

Regardless, Tyler would not easily give up.

(No... There's another thod that could be tried.)

Looking at Heloise dozing off beside the fire, Tyler thought of a "person".

This "person" was the Earthly Ghost who had implanted the Parasitic Blood Serpent in Heloise.

(Earthly Ghost, I must confront you head-on.)
