But the thought only flashed through my mind.

No matter how many misunderstandings there are between me and Shen Jingyun, and how much I am dissatisfied with him, I always believe in his character, he is not a bad person. Even, I still remember his resounding words, "Cultivators always have to bear the morality of the world", just imagine, how can such a person get a secret prison here?

I looked at Xu Lang, who brought me here, and he didn't shy away from it, but his eyes were full of pity.

The people here also seem to be very familiar with Xu Lang, except for those who are not normal at first glance, most of them are so timid and frightened that they are not in an ordinary state, they have reluctantly regained their composure and greeted Xu Lang, but that's all.

I took a closer look at the layout of the caverns, and although they were simple, they were as comfortable as possible.

Although there is no problem with ventilation here, the underground is damp, so every earthen cave here is paved with thick fur mattresses, and daily necessities are also very intimate and comfortable. Also, some of the girls' rooms have some trinkets, which makes me confused, what kind of place is this?

Xu Lang strode me through this passage, and at the end of the passage, there was a huge cave. The difference is that the cave is locked by an iron gate.

Walking here, Xu Lang stopped and said to me with a heavy face, "See? These are all victims. ”

I asked tentatively, "You mean the victims of the cult?" ”

Xu Lang nodded, leaned on the earthen wall next to him, clasped his hands on his chest and said to me, "Yes, they are all victims from the cult. What you see is only a small part, a part of what we have worked so hard to save from the cult, but some of them are too late, and the soul is broken. I heard the boss say that if you want to recover, only by completely destroying the evil god, those suppressed souls, or remnant souls, can you regain freedom, and the remnant souls can return to the master's body, and the souls of those who have died can re-enter reincarnation. ”

I listened a little incredulous, but Xu Lang's face was by no means joking with me, and he continued to say to me seriously: "It sounds like it will make people feel a little comforted in their hearts, especially when they see those poor girls and children." But the Boss also said that those souls or remnant souls will not exist forever, they will be slowly absorbed by the evil gods with evil magic, and then strengthen themselves. If you drag on any longer, the girls you see with dementia will be hopeless. ”

There was a wave of pity in my heart, and a strange, indescribable sense of responsibility, as if I had the ability to make sure that these people lived in peace. At least in this respect, ordinary people are not allowed to reach and then be harmed.

I would think of the girls I saw in the cave, all of them were very young, and I couldn't help but ask Xu Lang: "Are they all young?" ”

Xu Lang nodded, his emotions seemed to be a little excited, frowned, and slammed his fist on the earthen wall, making a dull sound, and then said with some anger: "Yes!" The evil god's 'taste' is very perverted, he wants children under the age of ten! And then there is a woman under the age of twenty, and she must be that kind of pure ......" Xu Lang looked at me with some indescribability.

I reluctantly said calmly, "I understand, you mean that kind of girl who has no personnel." ”

Xu Lang nodded hatefully and said, "Yes, these are the purest groups in the world, and the evil gods seem to be happy to destroy them. The boss is leading us to act, destroying one stronghold after another of the cult, and saving people again and again, but unfortunately, we tried our best, but we couldn't save all the people, only some of them were rescued, and more were sent to the real headquarters by those cultists. ”

My heart was filled with that kind of sympathetic compassion and anger, and I muttered to myself, "Headquarters? ”

Xu Lang looked up to the sky and sighed, and then slammed his fist on the earth wall, and said, "Yes, headquarters." It's like the stronghold we're in right now, the closest to the cult's headquarters. There are tunnels here to sneak into the edge of their headquarters. In the past, our strength was not enough, and we didn't dare to act rashly in the territory of their headquarters, because there were many masters of the Cult of Evil Gods inside. No, it should be said that all the masters of the Cult of Evil Gods have gathered here! We had a small detachment that explored here for nearly a month, sacrificing three comrades-in-arms before we could figure out the general terrain of their headquarters and some important Tangkou branches. ”

"I feel sorry for my fallen comrades, but I am also proud of them! Because when I think of the frightened and helpless faces of the girls and children who died in the action to save those innocent lives, I feel that death is nothing. And it is a matter of pride to die for this. ”

"Yes, a proud thing." I nodded, agreeing with Xu Lang's words very seriously.

Xu Lang looked at me in surprise and said, "Xiaoshuang, do you think so too?" ”

"Naturally, who does not have a good side in human nature? And I am the kind of firm belief that if the whole human environment of the world would be better, and there would be less naked plundering and oppression, the human heart would be kinder. Because who doesn't want to be an upright and warm person in their heart? "I said some of my thoughts to Xu Lang.

Indeed, I have had such a deep-rooted idea since I was a child, hoping that I would not violate my conscience in my life and work, and that the people around me would also be full of warmth.

Xu Lang was a little excited when he heard my words, looked at me and said, "Then Xiaoshuang, since you think so, then you must also be determined to cooperate with our actions, right?" ”

In fact, I don't know what their actions are at all, I always feel that Shen Jingyun is a little reckless, and I mean to take risks, and aside from Shen Jingyun's factors, as far as I am concerned, after seeing the faces of those children and girls, although I am still a little scared in my heart, I am still willing.

So, I nodded slightly, a little apprehensive, but didn't back down.

Xu Lang smiled, gave me a thumbs up very exaggeratedly, and said, "Xiaoshuang, you are really a very brave girl, which is unexpected." ”

I smiled, what can I say? Even if I myself was reluctant because I was afraid, morally I owed Master Shen Jingyun a favor, and even my grandfather agreed to this matter, and I had no way out. What's more, in my heart, if I can do something for these poor people, I am always willing.

But these topics don't have to go on forever, I saw the iron door and asked tentatively, "Is our action this time related to what is behind this iron gate?" ”

Xu Lang was a little surprised, looked at me and said, "Didn't the boss tell you the specific action?" ”

I jokingly replied to Xu Lang: "He didn't say anything to me, in fact, I don't even know where the headquarters is." ”

Hearing me say this, Xu Lang had already taken out the key and was about to open the iron door, but he immediately took back the key and said to me: "Although time is running out, I still need to make something clear to you." If you don't volunteer this action, Xiaoshuang, no one can force you, otherwise, this is a risky action If something happens to you, I won't be happy. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Lang scratched his head, and muttered to himself with some puzzlement: "What does the boss think?" ”

His tone was a little complaining, but it could be seen that he actually admired Shen Jingyun very much, and he had not questioned Shen Jingyun so far. Then, Xu Lang smiled embarrassedly and said to me, "Xiaoshuang, do you remember the first time we met, the two villages I mentioned to you?" ”

"Of course I remember, it was you who went to investigate a missing person case, and then you were inexplicably attacked and sent to a mental hospital." Of course, I still remember this incident, and I have always been deeply impressed by Xu Lang's conversation with Shen Jingyun that night.

"Yes, those two villages, that's the headquarters of the Cult of the Evil God. It's already two dead villages......" Speaking of this, Xu Lang sighed slightly: "Two villages with not too many populations, but those villagers, strictly speaking, are no longer human." They are more like the walking dead, strictly controlled by the cult of the evil gods. The Boss once took a risk and went in and grabbed a villager to investigate, and they were in a state like the kind of people who had lost their souls, and then they were completely controlled by something else that they couldn't say what it was. During the day, they work and eat like normal people, and outsiders can't see any clues, and at night, they are the most loyal servants of the cult. The cultists would start to operate quietly at night, and the whole village would be their best cover. ”

"Don't the villagers in those villages have relatives who are away? Didn't those relatives notice those abnormalities? I asked quickly, thinking that I couldn't think about this matter carefully, and there was a taste of deep thought. Who can accept that their loved ones are no longer the familiar ones, but have another "terrifying" face, controlled by something that doesn't know what it is?

Hearing my question, Xu Lang smiled bitterly, wiped his face, and said, "In general, at the beginning of contact, there is absolutely nothing unusual. After all, it's still that person, it's still that face, even if there are some abnormal behaviors, who would have thought that it was no longer their own relatives? And when relatives from other places return to these two villages, do you think they can still go out? ”

When Xu Lang said this, I understood, and he smiled bitterly and said: "And the biggest trouble with this kind of thing is that it is difficult for the relevant departments to act easily." You know, what they're going to do, because there's so much involved, there's always going to be strong evidence. But this seems to be a normal village, and there is no concrete evidence, even if they know that there is something unusual, it is not good for them to act in a big way. ”

I can understand this kind of constraints, and the rules of their affairs, once it involves the national level, some things cannot be done so simply.

But thinking of this, one of the biggest questions finally popped up in my heart: "Isn't the Cult of the Evil God from Southeast Asia?" Why is it so unscrupulous in our country? And almost all the masters have run here? ”
