With the help of the cover of the optical camouflage cloak, Lin Chi came to the main entrance of the interior of the hall to check the situation nearby.

The dark red gate was four meters high, and it was clear that it could not be opened by one's own strength. Luckily, next to the gate, there is also a low, inconspicuous side door that is supposed to be accessible for staff.

Lin Chi stretched out his hand and pushed the side door, the door was indeed locked as he thought, and the drop-shaped keyhole on the door was very conspicuous.

It does not match the level of technology in this era, the lock of this door is quite retro, according to Lin Chi's years of game experience, this kind of door lock is actually very easy to open.

If this lock is not the kind that the game system has judged to be "unopen without a key", it is not difficult to pick it yourself......

Thinking of this, Lin Chi retreated to the corner of the hall, took out the ACR from his backpack, took out a metal "long needle" from the multi-functional butt, and began to try to pick the lock on the side door.

Not long after trying, a friendly "click" sounded, Lin Chi put away the gun accessories, gently opened the side door, and entered the shadow behind the door.

Unlike the brightly lit halls, the "Inner Sanctuary" is shrouded in shadows, with dark red lights on the walls on both sides, giving it an eerie atmosphere, a bit like a gathering place for the Bloods or other monsters that see the light of day.

If there was still a little concealment in the hall, this was the unconcealed bloody realm, the pungent rancid smell was blowing in his face, and the many carrion of unknown origin piled up in the corner of the wall made Lin Chi feel a sense of danger in his heart.

- This place, should it be ......

Speculating on the situation of the place, he continued along the dark passageway, and after walking for less than a minute, he saw a huge statue emerge from the shadows in front of him.

The statue was carved out of black rock, the top of which was completely destroyed, and the remaining lower body was draped in a robe, and its body was unusually curved, revealing several insect-shaped pincers in front of it, taking on the strange form of half human, half worm.

In front of the statue stands a small pedestal, flanked by ornaments in the shape of bat wings. And above the pedestal, it was a man's head!

"I'll rely on ......," Lin Chi lowered his voice and scolded.

The skull was neatly cut off from the neck, and blood was still flowing from the fracture, obviously not long after it was cut off, the two eyeballs were so wide that they almost fell out of their sockets, and the open mouth didn't even have time to close, with a frightened expression on his face.

Could this be the scavenger who was caught just now?

Looking at the human head, Lin Chi pondered for a moment, and then suddenly hid in the shadow of the corner, and the footsteps coming from behind the statue began to quickly echo from far to near, in the empty inner temple.

Lin Chi looked behind him silently, only to see two black-robed men walking over, holding blood-stained rotten short knives in their hands, their faces completely shrouded in the shadow of their robes, and they couldn't see their faces clearly at all.

The two black-robed men didn't notice an invisible intruder nearby, but kept muttering something to the ruined statue, walked over to the ruined statue, and then knelt down with a thud.

"Please give us the strength to survive in this wasteland......"

"Please the Goddess give us the strength to become the most powerful of the clans......

"Please give us the power of the goddess to rule over this barren land......"

"Please give us the strength to escape into the realm of darkness......"

The two black-robed men kept praying, their voices cold and reverent. However, if the head of the person in the place of tribute was replaced with something else, the scene here might be much more harmonious.

-- Cult believers.

Listening to the prayers of the two, the two big words "cult" immediately flashed in Lin Chi's mind. Having dealt with the "Blood Worship Cult" in the Frozen Savia Valley, he also knew something about the cult.

Everything that happens here is completely in line with the characteristics of "cult sacrifice."

However, this sect certainly has nothing to do with the Bloodworship, as the Bloodworship worships vampires, not goddesses.

- Have you seen this scene somewhere?

Although he didn't know much about this sect, Lin Chi always felt as if he had encountered a similar sect in some game.

This bloody sect that uses human sacrifices is basically from ancient times. If there is a sect that worships a worm-like "goddess" and uses human sacrifices......

"Please the Goddess bless us."

The bodies of the two black-robed men fell to the ground, and they paused for ten seconds before finally slowly standing up and walking back into the shadows inside the temple.

Seeing that these guys had finished the prayer ceremony, Lin Chi also tiptoed over, trying to figure out what kind of place this was.

The further you go inside, the dimmer the light becomes. Lin Chi's visibility is also getting lower and lower, but this darkness also provides a better concealment effect for the optical camouflage cloak on his body.

Not to mention using optical camouflage here, you should be able to sneak in even with a black cloth. If he hadn't seen the heavy shadows at the feet of the black-robed man, Lin Chi might have directly bumped into the black-robed man.

Entering the dark realm feels like stepping into hell. The further you went, the more intense the rancid smell in the air, something made a disgusting "crunch" in the darkness, as if it was eating something.

Even if he couldn't see what was going on here, Lin Chi had almost made up a bloody picture in his head. In fact, the dim lighting here may be a good thing for players. Because even he may not be able to withstand the impact of this kind of scene.

- Carol shouldn't have been killed here too, right?

Lin Chi stared at the game's tooltip, but the prompt for the player's death did not appear. Standing in the shadows of darkness, cult followers are praying in whispers for strength and food to the goddess of terror who needs a human head as a sacrifice.

The devout believers, completely unaware of the invisible intruder at their side, continued to pray until the gentle female voice sounded again, overpowering theirs:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this ceremony is over. We have finished feeding in front of the Goddess, and the Venerable Goddess has decided to lend us some of her divine power for the time being! ”

"Oooh!" The congregants cheered.

"There's another piece of good news." The female voice sounded happy: "Today, a new believer has joined our sect, and her name is Carol!" She will join us in serving Namira, the goddess of decay! ”
