The young man sitting on the sofa was evidently He Hao's nephew, but judging by his condition, it seemed to be more severe than He Hao's.

"It's right up ahead, the Illusion Beast is frozen in the cold storage. Ever since the incident, none of us dared to go near that thing."

He Hao spoke in a deep voice.

Baiyu followed him all the way to the cold storage.

After opening the door.

Bitter cold winds blew out, and in the center of the cold storage, was an Exotic Beast corpse about the size of an elephant, frozen, with its blood having solidified.

This Exotic Beast's fur was pitch black, with a single horn on its head and four eyes.

On its short, stout limbs grew menacing spines, which seemed to be deadly weapons.

But now.

The signs of life in this monster had completely vanished.

Baiyu carefully inspected its body but found nothing out of the ordinary, nor was there any Spiritual Body present in the surroundings.

"How is it? Is there anything unusual?"

He Hao asked eagerly.

Baiyu shook his head, "No, it's just a corpse, no different from other Exotic Beast corpses. Think carefully, is it really a problem with the Illusion Beast, or have you overlooked other clues?"

Reflecting upon this.

He Hao furrowed his brow, recalling the moment when they encountered the Illusion Beast.

Although three months had passed.

The relentless nightmares every night helped He Hao remember the scene clearly, even down to every detail.

When they found the Illusion Beast.

It was on its last breath, covered in wounds, bleeding profusely. So everyone dealt with this Exotic Beast with ease.

"Could it be related to the injuries the Illusion Beast sustained?"

He Hao suddenly thought. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Baiyu observed the dense wounds on the Illusion Beast's body, these wounds weren't caused by sharp objects, but rather seemed as if its own skin could not withstand a certain force and simply split open.

"It's possible, its wounds are peculiar. If you don't mind, we can dissect it for a look."

Baiyu suggested to He Hao.

Naturally, he had no objections, facing possible death, he no longer cared for such matters.

He wasn't afraid that Baiyu might have ulterior motives.

The security in Bailan City was stringent, it was impossible for someone to openly seize anything in such a situation, it wouldn't make sense.

If Baiyu couldn't heal him.

He would have to attempt to destroy the Illusion Beast to see if it could break the nightmares.

Fortunately.

Baiyu indeed wanted to resolve this issue, he felt He Hao's situation was quite odd, such Endless curses that lead to death often had some connection with cults or the Evil God.

The two of them found a scalpel and made a large incision in the Illusion Beast's belly.

To Baiyu's surprise.

Inside such a large belly, there were no organs, or rather the organs had been completely shattered into small pieces of flesh and blood foam, mixed together like a large blood-red vat, extremely nauseating.

"This..."

Even with years of mercenary experience, He Hao felt a bit queasy and nauseated upon seeing it.

Baiyu observed carefully, and after a while said, "The Illusion Beast was severely injured before, it must have encountered non-contact attacks.

Like sonic attacks, Spiritual Attacks, Curse attacks, etc.

Immense force directly shattered the Illusion Beast's organs, even if you hadn't killed it upon discovery, it wouldn't have lived much longer.

My current guess.

The curse on your mercenary team must have transferred from the Illusion Beast, once it died, the curse transferred onto you.

Although it sounds far-fetched, this is likely the true reason for those nightmares."

Upon hearing this.

He Hao hesitantly asked, "If that's the case, is there a way to solve it?"

"Go to the Church."

Baiyu did not hesitate, dealing with these sinister curses was surely the specialty of church professionals with more experience.

He Hao hesitated for a moment.

However, upon reconsideration, indeed the church might solve the problem, but he was not familiar with church people, nor was he a follower of any deity, he had never even prayed at a church.

"Will they help me?"

He Hao hesitated slightly, "After all, I am not a religious person, just an ordinary mercenary."

"Rest assured, they'll help you, if they don't solve it, the curse might spread afterward, causing much trouble."

Baiyu confidently assured.

With Baiyu's assurance, He Hao had no choice but to hold onto the last bit of hope and follow Baiyu to the Church.

This is the Life Church in Bailan City, named "Redemption Church."

It's quite large.

There's even a Bishop in the church.

The Life Sect belongs to the goddess of life, whereas the rebellious Life Church worships the Green Mother, these are two extremes.

But the goddess of life and Green Mother appear to hold the same authority.

Only the goddess of life is a benevolent True Divine, purifying corruption, healing mutations, opposing war, and striving to maintain world stability.

The Green Mother is purely an Evil God.

Stirring conflicts, spreading corruption and mutation, creating various corrupt creatures, and tempting people into degeneration and breaking world stability.

The two oppose each other.

The Life Sect is quite adept at dealing with curses, or rather, they are proficient in all forms of bodily healing, it's said every Bishop of the Life Sect is well-regarded locally for medical expertise.

Baiyu arrived at Redemption Church not as a follower.

He Hao's condition, the average Life Sect follower probably could not handle, but the Bishop of Redemption Church might provide insight.

After questioning by two church personnel, Baiyu showed a Token obtained from Loloya.

This is the Tower of Miracles Token.

Within the Great City area, it made things extremely convenient for him.

Soon.

The members of Redemption Church came and took the two of them to the Archbishop's prayer room.

Upon seeing Baiyu arrive, he promptly asked, "Is this Token yours? Is there anything we can help with?"

Baiyu pointed at He Hao, "This gentleman seems to be cursed, I'm out of ideas, so I came to see if you could take a look."

The Bishop nodded and turned his attention to He Hao, but even with a glance, he couldn't discern anything.

"Please follow me."

The Bishop led Baiyu and He Hao all the way to the back of the church, to a small hospital.

The Redemption Church treated Ice-men in this hospital.

The Bishop took He Hao to the examination room and conducted a full check-up, which wasn't limited to blood tests, but included many other items as well.

Such as inspections of the Spirit.

And it was carried out by church professionals, ensuring no errors would occur.
