Sixty-eight. The truth

Lu Li stared at the Giant Tree Professor, waiting for his explanation.

"There was never a second returning exorcist, only you, sir."

Professor Ernie Hamilton Wayne revealed the truth.

Klein Manifested University was too eager, they began promoting without confirming Lu Li's identity.

The Giant Tree, the Church, and the City Hall could not stop it in time and had to remedy the university's oversight—by creating another exorcist more important than Lu Li to replace him, expose him, and protect him.

This was difficult, as the story of Lu Li nearly solving the third disaster alone spread across the Barren Lands, and hardly anyone was unaware, nor could they find a more renowned choice.

So they resorted to a clever ploy—using the identity of Yenada Mathews, one of the founders of Midnight City, and an exorcist.

He was not as good as Lu Li, but he meant more to Midnight City.
