Start by analyzing the Holy Light

Chapter 1 Gray Mist
Black ink stained the yellowed white paper, and Ryan Dylan wrote a few lines on the paper with a quill.

September 3, overcast.

Today is the seventh day that the fog has shrouded the town, and we still cannot contact the outside world.

……

The characters on the white paper are square and square, completely different from the characters of any race on this continent.

This is a unique text belonging to the world of Ryan's previous life.

After finishing today's diary, Ryan put down the pen in his hand, and subconsciously raised his head to look at the gray fog outside the window.

A month ago, he traveled to this small town called Luyin Town and became one of the only priests in the town church.

The other pastor is the priest of the church, that is, his immediate boss, the head of the church in Luyin Town.

After experiencing the initial panic, he thought he would settle down in this world.

But a week ago, after a gray mist of unknown material enveloped the town at an extremely fast speed, everything changed.

At first, everyone thought it was just a strange mist.

Until two days later, the townspeople suddenly discovered that many people seemed to be missing.

These missing people all disappeared after leaving the town, and no one returned to the town.

It was already the third day that the gray fog had shrouded the town, and no matter how slow they were, the townspeople had already discovered that something was wrong with the gray fog.

However, the gray fog didn't seem to have the intention of flooding the town, it just surrounded it.

Other than that, there were no other abnormalities in the gray mist.

At present, as long as he does not leave Luyin Town, his life is not in danger for the time being.

So the town can barely maintain calm.

At this moment, a sudden knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Dong dong dong."

After putting away the diary on the table, Ryan pulled the doorknob and looked at the person outside the door suspiciously.

"You are. Kevin?"

The person who knocked on the door was a farmer in the town. He usually came to the church to pray every week. He was one of the relatively wealthy believers, so Ryan had some impressions of him.

"Mr. Ryan, something happened!" Kevin's face was very nervous.

"What happened?" Ryan frowned slightly. What could make this guy so nervous? Could it be that the gray fog invaded the town?

"Let's talk as we go." Ryan casually took a windbreaker from behind the door, and followed Kevin towards the outside of the church.

The layout of Luyin Town is Feng-shaped, and the church is located in the center of the town, so it is very convenient to go anywhere.

A few minutes later, Ryan followed Kevin to a residential house not far away. Many people had gathered in front of the house, which was very noisy.

"Mr. Ryan is here, everyone get out of the way." Kevin yelled, and the crowd turned around and hurried out of a narrow aisle.

After entering the house, Ryan's face changed slightly.

A faintly visible black phantom floated in mid-air, and the lower part of the black shadow was connected to a corpse on the bed.

But the other people in the room were completely indifferent to the black shadow, as if they couldn't see the existence of the black shadow at all.

"Mr. Ryan, look." Kevin turned his head.

"You go out first."

Ryan's face was a little serious. Seeing that other people seemed to be hesitant, he said in a heavy tone: "There may be something wrong with his death. It's not safe for you to stay here."

The few people who were still a little hesitant heard this, and quickly withdrew from the house, and Kevin closed the door intimately.

Seeing that he was alone in the room, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief, but instead of praying, he focused on the light curtain that suddenly appeared in front of him.

[When karma is detected, whether to charge or not]

"Karma? Do you mean this black shadow?" Ryan frowned, and glanced at the black shadow above the corpse.

After he crossed, the system panel appeared in front of his eyes, but it was still in an inactive state.

And this panel has been hanging in the corner of his vision, and it can neither be activated nor disappear, which is very annoying.

In order to activate the system, Ryan tried many methods, and even thought of recognizing the Lord with a drop of blood, but he was still unable to activate it successfully.

I didn't expect to see this corpse today and successfully activate the system.

Thinking of this, Ryan did not hesitate, and silently chose to collect karma in his heart.

【Activating.】

With the appearance of these words, the black shadow above the corpse began to distort, and in the blink of an eye, it condensed into a spot of light that sank into the center of his eyebrows.

【Activation succeeded】

The system interface suddenly changed at this time, from the original light curtain to a transparent virtual panel.

There are only two categories to choose from above, which are warehouse/analysis.

"Analysis? What do you mean?" Ryan frowned. The interface of this system was completely different from what he had imagined.

After hesitating for a moment, Ryan chose the analysis option with his mind, and then a ray of light spread out from his body like a pulse, and the whole room changed in his eyes, and everything seemed to be covered by a layer of light.

Suddenly, the concept of analysis came to his mind.

To use an inappropriate analogy, analysis is equivalent to a hospital's X-ray, which can disassemble and analyze a target.

[Please choose the analysis target (Note: Currently, the remaining energy can only analyze one target, please choose carefully)]

After roughly understanding the ability of "analysis", a light flashed in Ryan's eyes.

Does this ability seem interesting?
Looking at the stiff corpse on the bed, Ryan hesitated.

Although there must be something wrong with this corpse, the bigger problem lies in the gray mist. The cause of death of the corpse may have something to do with the gray mist.

After thinking for a while, Ryan gave up his plan to analyze the corpse. Even if he could analyze the cause of death, it is obviously unrealistic to solve the gray fog with his current ability.

"If you want to break the situation, it seems that you have to try other methods." Ryan's eyes flickered, and he suddenly had a bold idea.

Then he clasped his hands in front of his chest and murmured softly.

"You are the greatest element."

"You are the light that guides us."

"Holy Light, please grant me the power of purification—purification technique!"

After chanting the spell, Ryan felt that the elements of the outside world began to respond to his call, and then a bright but not dazzling white light appeared in his hands.

Purification is one of the only two divine arts he knows, it can clear most of the negative effects, and it also has a certain amount of damage.

This is also the priest's only lethal spell.

But Ryan's purpose is not the corpse, but the purification itself,
The moment the Holy Light appeared, Ryan had a thought and activated the ability to analyze.

[Target selection—first-order spell, start analysis]

"It's done." Ryan looked happy.
