This strange phenomenon was very abnormal, but Eddie didn't mind. He used his anti-magnetic ability to fly directly to the Clock Tower in the village.
Standing over twenty meters high, he could see the entire village.
Eddie took out a compressed biscuit to replenish his energy, while also looking around, intending to find the location of the church.
Regarding Ashley, he still felt she was worth saving. Ashley was pretty and had a good figure, so it would be a waste for her to die.
At this moment, a figure climbed into the village from the outskirts.
Her agile figure, clad in special combat attire, still couldn't hide her proud physique.
It was Alvara, the younger sister whom even HUNK couldn't defeat!
Alvara infiltrated the village, took out her phone to communicate, "I have reached the target location."
Ye Minzhi's voice came through, "Very good, continue investigating. If Eddie is here, there must be something that interests him."
"Is it the women here? He can barely go a day without women," Alvara said disdainfully.
"Heh heh, you and I can barely catch his eye; how could those peasant women possibly appeal to him? Go and find out why the villagers nearby are being controlled. Also, hide your identity," Ye Minzhi said before hanging up.
Alvara scoffed, then immediately turned and delivered a spinning kick that instantly killed a pair of male and female villagers who were about to attack her.
The explosive force struck vital points. Villagers, whose digestive systems were only slightly stronger than ordinary people's, naturally couldn't withstand such a blow and died instantly.
Tapping her special combat suit, Alvara vanished as if into thin air, leaving no trace.
Eddie, however, saw everything clearly. This suit couldn't go into water; once it encountered water, the wires would short-circuit, a very obvious weakness.
At this moment, Leon also infiltrated the village, but he was quickly discovered.
The villagers immediately roared, "Despicable outsider!"
"The outsider is here!"
"Kill him!"
All sorts of obscure dialects were nothing but curses.
Seeing that the situation was bad, Leon immediately ran into a house, blocked the door with props, and then ran to the second floor to look for an escape route.
On the other side, another agile figure was preparing to sneak near the church, intending to find other documents to see if there was a way to deal with these villagers.
And another figure also arrived at the village, lingered for a while, then left again.
Although the figure's speed was very fast, Eddie still saw his face: Albert Wesker! What kind of trouble was this guy trying to stir up?
While Leon was struggling, another commotion erupted on the other side of the village, with villagers shouting and attacking, and gunshots ringing out.
Alfred, disguised as a woman, slipped out of the church and came to the village outskirts, using a high-powered sniper rifle to help Leon repel the villagers.
Alvara, on the other hand, quickly left, knowing there was nothing to gain here, and followed Wesker's footsteps towards the back mountain.
After killing for an unknown period, nearly a hundred villagers were killed by Leon and Alfred.
With the commotion still ongoing behind the village, Leon could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Eddie's mind stirred, and he flew directly to the front of the church.
To get from the village to here, one had to pass through a secret passage.
Ordinary people would have to search for the path step by step, or climb over walls to reach the church located behind the village.
As for finding keys? Eddie found that to be a lie; who would be so bored as to scatter keys? They would surely be kept close.
The so-called key hunting simply didn't exist for Eddie.
Next to the church was a small castle.
When Eddie arrived, he saw a burly man over 2.5 meters tall leading several villagers into the castle.
Standing in front of the church, he found that the church's main door required a special key to open.
Lisa snorted and unlocked the door using sound waves.
In less than a second, Eddie pushed open the door and walked in, without any difficulty.
He locked the church door behind him. This was the most sacred place in the village, and at this time, there weren't many villagers inside.
Only two pale-skinned cultists, seeing a stranger enter, immediately grabbed their weapons and charged.
Eddie snapped his fingers, and the two cultists were crushed into fragments by the magnetic field, along with the parasitic Plaga, turning into residue!
The distorted magnetic field, which only strong people could withstand, was an unfailingly effective method against these cannon fodder.

Having dealt with the two black-robed cultists, Eddie continued forward.
The church was not small; it had a confessional and a grand hall for worship.
In one room, as soon as he opened the door, a wooden stick flew out.
Eddie caught it with one hand, and then several more wooden sticks were thrown, soft and without any force.
"Go away, get out of here quickly, don't come over!" a sweet female voice called out. It was Ashley, the target he was looking for!
"Hey, it's me, I'm here to save you!" Eddie said helplessly.
"You are! You are Eddie!" Ashley exclaimed.
"It's me, you still remember me!" Eddie threw the wooden stick aside, looking at the surroundings, "How long have you been held here?"
"Two days. Before, I was always in a castle. How did Eddie get here?" Ashley asked, surprised and delighted.
"I drove here. Your father sent many agents to save you. These kidnappers said they would release you for five hundred thousand US dollars. Your father outwardly agreed, but in fact, he sent agents to rescue you. I was affected; someone slandered me, claiming I was involved in your kidnapping case."
Eddie took out a cigarette and lit it.
"It has nothing to do with you! Eddie, you've come to save me, so let's leave quickly!" Ashley said, mustering her courage.
"Not yet. I've found a clue. It's very disadvantageous for you to leave now. They've used a parasite on you that will control your thoughts and turn you into their slave. They plan to infect you, get the ransom, then send you back to your father, infect your father, and thereby achieve the goal of controlling the Western Federation," Eddie explained.
"What! What should I do!" Ashley was a little at a loss.
"It's alright, aren't I here? You forgot, besides being the secret crush of countless young girls, I'm also a very clever scientist. I'll find a way to restore you. Do you believe me?" Eddie grinned mischievously.
"Of course, I believe you, you're a good person!" Ashley said without hesitation.
"My help isn't free, you should know that. Later, I might ask you out for dinner, and then go to a hotel," Eddie smiled like the Big Bad Wolf.
Ashley was a little embarrassed and angry, yet also a little expectant, "We'll see about that then. If I'm in a good mood, maybe I'll agree."
"Alright, let's go, I was just teasing you. I would never harm a girl, but if a girl offers herself, I won't be polite either." Eddie smiled and pushed open the door.
Ashley rolled her eyes. Would she actively throw herself at him? "Wait for me," she said, then jogged to catch up.
Young Ashley truly had a good figure and was full of vitality. And the identity of the president's daughter also made it exciting; who doesn't have a dream of saving a princess?
The three came outside the church and saw two villagers, holding pitchforks and axes, walking towards them with their heads down.
When they looked up again, their eyes were blood-red.
Between the two villagers, a burly man over 2.5 meters tall walked over, holding a special forces member who had been knocked out. He looked somewhat familiar.
"Chief Mendez?" Eddie was a little confused, looking at the unconscious team member who was being held; he seemed somewhat familiar.
Chief Mendez dropped the team member and quickly ran towards Eddie.
Lisa took a small step forward in her high heels, colliding her fist with the Chief's.
The immense force sent the Chief flying directly, soaring ten meters high, and smashing like a cannonball over a hundred meters away.
