Godslayer: The different abilities represented by the twelve two-hour periods of the day

"Captain Wang, what's going on?!" The military captain was so frightened by the powerful aura suddenly emanating from Wang that he swallowed hard.

But he still stood tall, suppressing his unease, and asked the king. His voice trembled slightly, but his tone still carried the fortitude and sense of responsibility of a soldier.

Wang Mian took a deep breath and slowly withdrew the suffocating pressure emanating from his body.

He knew that now was not the time to show his strength, especially since he did not have any solid evidence to prove that these soldiers had been parasitized by the "bishop" of Bai Wanglin.

He needs more clues and time to verify his guesses.

Just then, Lin Shi walked up to the soldier captain and asked seriously, "Captain, I'd like to confirm whether this communicator has been in your possession the whole time and hasn't left your side?"

The military captain frowned slightly, lowered his head in thought for a moment, then shook his head and slowly said, "It wasn't always in my possession. This communicator was previously kept by Chen Han..."

At this point, his eyes suddenly narrowed, as if he had remembered something important, and then he muttered to himself, "No wonder... no wonder Chen Han's emotions have been fluctuating so much lately, as if he has become a completely different person."

His voice carried a hint of sudden realization, but also a deep sense of worry.

He turned abruptly, strode over to a squad member, stared at him sharply, and questioned him sternly, "I remember you were in charge of the communicators before. Didn't you notice that the signal was cut off?"

The soldier being questioned was named Chen Han. He appeared somewhat flustered under the captain's stern gaze, but quickly regained his composure.

He looked puzzled and replied in a helpless tone, "Captain, why would you suspect me? Just ten minutes ago, I showed you this communicator, and you confirmed it. The signal was normal then."

Upon hearing these words, the soldier captain's face froze, revealing an embarrassed expression.

He did remember that he had taken the communicator from Chen Han not long ago and checked it, and at that time he did not find anything unusual.

However, the current situation left him extremely confused—if the problem wasn't with Chen Han, then where exactly was the problem?

The details of this period of time flashed through his mind, and he suddenly realized that apart from himself and Chen Han, it seemed that no one else had accessed the communicator.

Could it be... that the problem lies with him? This thought startled him, but he quickly suppressed it.

Just then, the soldier captain's eyes suddenly became vacant, as if he were lost in some kind of memory, or as if his thoughts were being controlled by some invisible force.

His body trembled slightly, and his expression became dazed, as if he was trying to resist something.

On the other side, Wang Mian had already put down his phone.

He had just spoken with Lord Commander Ye Fan on the phone and learned how to identify people who had been parasitized by the "Bishop" in White King Forest.

According to the information provided by Ye Fan, people who are parasitized by the "Bishop" usually have two distinct characteristics:

Firstly, the parasitized person will experience memory confusion or loss, unable to recall certain things, and when someone awakens memories of being controlled by the "bishop," their consciousness will briefly stagnate, as if waiting for the next command.

Secondly, ordinary people parasitized by the "Bishop" will emit a faint but unique spiritual power. This spiritual power is different from the spiritual power of ordinary people; it is a special power that is integrated into them after being parasitized by the "Bishop".

Only through special forbidden objects, or at least through a mental power expert at the "River" realm level, can this anomaly be detected.

However, Ye Fan did not provide a clear answer as to how to detect whether someone who has awakened the Forbidden Ruins has been parasitized by the "Bishop".

Perhaps it's because this method is ineffective against those who have awakened from the forbidden realm, or perhaps it's because the "bishop" simply cannot parasitize such people.

After all, in the numerous tests conducted at headquarters, Ye Fan had never found a case of anyone who had awakened the Forbidden Ruins being parasitized by the "Bishop".

At this moment, a vast and profound spiritual force, like an invisible tide, enveloped all members of the soldier squad, especially the soldier captain.

Wang Mian's brows were furrowed, his expression solemn. His 'Boundless' level spiritual power meticulously traversed the bodies of everyone, trying to detect any abnormality.

Soon, his mental energy locked onto a target—the mental energy of the military captain was clearly different from that of the other team members, as if it had been eroded by some external force, appearing chaotic and distorted.

Wang Mian's gaze sharpened, and he already had the answer in his heart.

Just as Wang Mian stepped toward the military captain, the man lowered his head slightly, his lips suddenly curving upwards into an unnatural arc, and a glint of madness and obsession flashed in his eyes.

However, this eerie expression vanished in an instant, and his face quickly returned to calm, as indifferent as if he had no pity for life.

Wang Mian, through the spiritual power surrounding him, keenly captured this instantaneous change.

His brows furrowed even more, his gaze sharp as a knife, fixed on the soldier captain.

No, at this moment, he was no longer that military captain, but a puppet parasitized by the "Bishop".

The next moment, the parasitized military captain turned around gracefully, his movements fluid and composed, like a noble gentleman.

He gave Lin Shi, Wang Mian, and the members of the [Masked] team a standard bow, a strange smile playing on his lips, his voice deep and magnetic:

"It's an honor to meet Lin Shi, Wang Mian, and the rest of the [Masked] team here. On behalf of my king, I would like to extend my greetings to you all."

His tone carried a chilling reverence, as if he were proclaiming some irresistible destiny.

Lin Shi and the members of the [Masked] team remained completely unmoved by the words of this "bishop".

Having long been accustomed to all sorts of strange and dangerous things, they naturally wouldn't be swayed by the other party's words.

However, the soldiers standing to the side were completely unable to remain calm.

They watched helplessly as their captain, with whom they had spent every day, suddenly became a complete stranger.

Although he still looks like the captain, his words and actions seem to have been replaced by a different soul.

This stark contrast sent chills down the spines of the team members, filling them with shock and fear.

“Team...Captain?” A team member called out to him in a trembling voice, as if that would awaken the familiar captain.

However, the parasitized military captain merely glanced at him indifferently, his eyes devoid of any emotional fluctuation, as if he were looking at an insignificant stranger.

His voice was cold and indifferent: "Your captain is no longer here. Standing before you now is me—Saga Koyuri, the bishop of the White King Forest."
