Facing Li Hai's “righteous” questioning, the state police personnel left.

Generally speaking, such an extremely bizarre situation would absolutely not occur under normal circumstances.

Because no matter how eloquently one speaks, if the state police want to arrest someone, they will definitely take them away.

But hell, Li Hai's Calming Aura was truly Heaven-Defying; he could make the dead sound alive.

So, the state police who came to investigate the murder were actually fooled by Li Hai's nonsensical words.

Their minds at that moment seemed to be missing a string; they actually felt that what he said made a lot of sense, the logic was perfect, and everything was their own fault.

In addition, Peter's wife, Louise, also declared that she would not pursue the matter and even praised Li Hai for killing well and correctly.

Therefore, the murder case in Yuanha Town became deadlocked for a time, unable to proceed normally at all.

Of course, the state police would not be reconciled to this.

So, in the following half month, Li Hai repeatedly dealt with state police who came to his door, and finally even the Chief himself came.

But the result was still the same as before, remaining in a deadlock.

Consequently, this murder case in Yuanha Town ultimately became another unresolved backlog in the state police archives.

It was completely dropped.

And in this half month, Li Hai's 'father' also did a great thing.

He successfully registered and established a religious sect.

The name of this sect was Saint Anthony Loving Gospel Church.

In the Williams family mansion, Li Hai, the Williams couple, the photographer Charlie, and Father Lowell gathered together.

"I've decided not to go to school anymore," Li Hai said indifferently to the Williams couple, sitting in a chair with his arms crossed, "In this life, I will only obey God's teachings and execute God's will; there's no need to learn Mortal things anymore."

Upon hearing his remarks, the Williams couple looked at each other and then felt that it made a lot of sense.

Oh right, Anthony is already a Saint in this world, so why go to school?

Study? Study for nothing.

"Anthony, you are very right; you truly don't need to go to school anymore."

Mr. Williams agreed, "And I also have some things I want to talk to you about, regarding the church."

Upon hearing this, Li Hai immediately became interested.

In fact, during this period, although Li Hai had not inquired about the Gospel Church.

But through scattered observations and hearsay, he had a rough understanding of the information about the sect founded by his 'father', Old Williams.

After half a month of development, this church has now attracted nearly one-third of Yuanha Town's residents as members, with the number having reached seven thousand people.

During this time, under Old Williams's arrangement, Li Hai performed the Shadowless Holy Sword three times.

Each time, the number of people who came to watch was several times more than the previous time.

Li Hai guessed that the reason this sect called the Gospel Church developed so quickly was probably due to his three performances.

It was also because of the addition of these more than seven thousand members that Old Williams, a former real estate agent, became a millionaire in just half a month.

The reason he was able to earn so much money was because he established a rule.

That is, everyone who joins the Gospel Church needs to pay a membership fee of 153 US dollars.

The number 153 comes from the twenty-first chapter of the Gospel of John in the New Testament of the Bible.

It is the total number of fish that Saint Peter caught in one net from the river after listening to Jesus's words, symbolizing God's grace and bestowal.

Therefore, paying a fee of 153 US dollars also equals piety and gratitude to God.

Of course, if one wants to further extend the meaning, one could even extend it by ten thousand words.

To put it bluntly, this is just a form of verbal packaging.

In short, after Old Williams's verbal packaging of this reason, all members who joined willingly paid the fee.

To this, Li Hai could only sigh in his heart:

"Although God claims to be omnipotent, he just lacks money."

Then he asked his 'father' with a puzzled expression:

"Mr. Williams, although I don't quite understand the procedures required to register a religious organization, it shouldn't be too easy, right? How did you manage to complete this so quickly?"

To this, Old Williams explained:

"Registering a religious organization is indeed quite troublesome, but generally speaking, it mainly involves a few conditions; as long as these conditions are met, and then introduced by a reliable person, after passing the review and approval, the organization's registration and establishment can be completed."

"Conditions?" Li Hai asked curiously, "What are they?"

"They are a certain number of believers, a place for gathering activities, pastoral staff who can preside over activities, rules and regulations for managing the organization, and a certain economic source," Old Williams explained, "At the same time, the pastoral staff needs to have certain Aptitude and qualifications, Father Lowell helped a lot with this aspect."

Father Lowell, sitting next to him, smiled and nodded.

Old Williams continued: "Then there are some miscellaneous things; these contents cannot be explained in a single sentence. In short, Anthony, what I want to say is that you are now the absolute core of the Gospel Church, so as a father and also as a partner, I hope that when you face the believers, you can make your clothing, appearance, words, and deeds more solemn. These small matters can be discussed slowly later."

Li Hai waved his hand to interrupt, "I have a more important matter now that I need you to handle as soon as possible."

"Hmm, Anthony, you say." Old Williams nodded, "I'm listening."

"I want to open an exorcism company."

Li Hai spoke eloquently, "I've already thought of the name; it will be called Williams Company."

I believe that only by officially opening a company can it be more convenient to know where demons are at work, and only then can I better fulfill God's will."

"Anthony, your idea is very good, but I think the company name is a bit inappropriate."

Old Williams pondered, "This company should be named Saint Anthony Exorcism Company; only this name can reflect your existence, you are the core."

At the same time, this company can be affiliated with the Gospel Church, which will make tax evasion more convenient."

"That doesn't matter," Li Hai said carelessly, "I just want to get the exorcism company started quickly. Alas~ you may not know,

God's voice keeps echoing in my ears; he wants me to quickly save those people who are troubled by demons."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but say emotionally, "Every moment, I have a strong urge to save all humanity in my heart; this urge—it makes me restless, Amen!"

Hearing his words, the Williams couple, the photographer Charlie, and Father Lowell were all immediately moved to tears, as if they were possessed.

To this, one can only say that the effect of Li Hai's Calming Aura was indeed too terrifying.

A few days later, the Saint Anthony Exorcism Company was officially established.

At the same time, a documentary about Li Hai demonstrating the miracle of the Holy Sword and subduing the Crystal Lake demon was also aired during the midnight slot of a certain gospel television station.

This television station was very small, and its target audience was mainly traditional Christian believers in some low-income areas of California, plus it was during the midnight time slot.

Therefore, the number of people who could watch Li Hai's exorcism documentary was indeed not large.

But because the effect of the Calming Aura was truly Heaven-Defying.

So almost all viewers who patiently watched the entire documentary developed great trust in the fact that Li Hai was a Holy Sword Angel.

At the same time, they also developed great interest in the Saint Anthony Exorcism Company mentioned in the documentary.

Therefore, some people who genuinely needed exorcism assistance.

They picked up their phones one after another and dialed the exorcism assistance hotline at the end of the documentary shown on TV.

As a result, Li Hai's newly opened exorcism company was quickly swamped by a flood of help calls.

For this, Li Hai had to hire twenty more operators to handle these phone requests.

At the same time, he also excitedly rushed to various places in California to handle various demon possession cases.

In this way, Li Hai was busy for a whole month, handling nearly forty cases.

To his disappointment, however, his busy work during this month did not result in even a single fragment.

This was because all these so-called demon-at-work cases turned out to be people scaring each other, or the callers scaring themselves, or even hidden murder cases; there wasn't even a single evil spirit.

But just as Li Hai was deeply disappointed, KABC, California's largest television station located in Los Angeles, extended an olive branch to him.

KABC TV station hoped that Li Hai could participate in a television program they had recently created—"Psychic War."

From the name, it can be seen that it is a program that uses various superstitious things as its selling point.

Things like psychic abilities, mysticism, fortune-telling, supernatural abilities, haunted house investigations, and so on, are probably the main content of this program.

If it were before, Li Hai would never have participated in such a thing.

But after a whole month of getting nothing, Li Hai's thoughts quietly changed. "My reputation is still too small, limited only to the area around Yuanha Town and some low-income areas in California, such as small cities and towns."

Sitting at home, Li Hai stroked his chin and thought to himself, "I need to spread my name, let more people know about my existence."

It's best if everyone in all regions of the United States knows about a person like me.

This way, I can come into contact with more evil spirits or powerful individuals, and thus obtain more fragments."

Having made up his mind, Li Hai slowly rose from his chair and said profoundly:

"It's time to let more people know what true—feudal superstition—is."

Several days later.

Li Hai, accompanied by the Williams couple, slowly drove away from Yuanha Town in a luxury car, heading all the way towards Los Angeles.
