Chapter 63: A Shadow in the Dark
When the godson said this, I knew that all peaceful, illusory pretense would be torn away.
The bloody and evil side of this cult will eventually be revealed, just as a venomous snake finally opens its mouth and shows its fangs.
At this point, all my composure began to disintegrate, and my palms were slightly wet.
In this last moment, what can I do? I hope Shen Jingyun and them can be in time.
I clasped my hands on my chest, put my fingers on my shoulders, pinched my fingers to make a special gesture, and numbly saluted to my godson, surrounded by the deafening words of "I wish to offer my loyalty", and even the tip of my nose was slightly moist.
"Good." The godson seemed to be extremely satisfied, and once again jumped off the platform, and he glanced at the crowd, and at this time, eight more figures came out, both male and female. The men are muscular and tall, and the women are tall and tight, and they all look very handsome.
It's just that they covered their faces and stood on both sides of their godson.
The godson walked down the steps again and said in a serious voice: "Faithfulness is not so easy to prove, and it takes a painful baptism. Have you seen all these people around me? They are those who have been baptized by faith, and God has given them new bodies and stronger souls, and the miracles are not to be believed. ”
As they spoke, the eight people also folded their hands in front of their chests, showing pious expressions, and then, they also sat down cross-legged, their bodies slightly suspended in the air, although they were not as relaxed as their godsons, but they did it.
The people around me were breathing rapidly.
Not to mention this powerful ability, as long as people have the pursuit of beauty, although these men and women cover their faces, but the perfect body is like the most exquisite carving, it looks like a visual enjoyment, how can these ordinary people who don't know the truth not desire?
If this is mobilization and brainwashing, it is indeed very successful, but I can't say anything but silence.
The reaction of the crowd has already made the godson feel that the effect is almost the same, who dares to despise and laugh at his immature face at this time? He glanced at the crowd majestically, then put his hands behind his back and said, "As long as you are faithful, the Holy Church gives you infinite possibilities. But betrayal is blasphemy, and I don't need to say much about the consequences, right? ”
The terrifying scene in the bamboo forest was the best lesson for everyone, and the faces of several girls around me turned pale.
"Therefore, in the baptism of faithfulness, you must remember that piety cannot be disguised, and God perceives everything. Whether you are experiencing pain or hallucinations, you must not resist, but hold on to the thought from your heart that your soul belongs to God and that you will become one with God. In this way, God will eventually hear each and every one of you, and you will be redeemed from your afflictions in faithful baptism. Otherwise, it will only sink indefinitely, and there will be no salvation, understand? The godson began to tell everyone the final precautions.
Perhaps only true cultivators can understand that this is not salvation at all, and that if the soul does not resist, they can better bind and devour a person's soul, which is simply to deceive the ignorant to send them to death with lies.
Anger welled up in my heart, and I quickly thought of all possible ways, but what could I do to stop it? I can only act on the opportunity.
"Holy Maiden." Just as I was thinking, my godson stood silently in front of me again.
Seeing the face close to me again, I was already able to resist, not as I was before, I was almost unable to hold back, I pretended to be reverent and fanatical to look at him. He grinned at me wickedly, his childish face and smile in such a strong contrast that it only made people feel chills from the bottom of their hearts.
"You have always been the most loyal to my Holy Sect. I believe that the loyalty of the newcomers you personally recruited this time will move God, don't you think? "My godson said something to me inexplicably.
"Yes, they will be most faithful to the Holy Church." I didn't understand why my godson said such a thing to me gloomily, so I had to follow his words. However, my heart began to feel uneasy, and I could only wait and see.
"Let's go, to the land of sublimation." But the godson no longer looked at me, but turned and sat down on the platform, and the eight handsome men and women lifted his platform together, and then walked towards the left side of the hall.
At this time, I realized that there was a well-hidden secret door on the left. I stood up and had to follow my godson towards the secret door, and everyone behind me saw the "miracles" that the ordinary world could not see at all, and they had been completely brainwashed, and where there was any doubt and fear, they all got up and followed me and walked towards the secret door.
The secret door led to the third courtyard.
Compared to the first two courtyards, the third courtyard is several times larger. Here, without any disguise, there is a uniform tone, a dull black. Compared with the sacred temple of the first courtyard, the gorgeous mansion of the second courtyard, it is gloomy, secluded, and full of a sense of solemnity.
But no one cared about that anymore. It's as if heaven has been revealed to them, and as long as they have gone through the test, they will completely melt into the good, so what is everything in front of them?
I felt a sad feeling in my heart, I was obviously going to die, and I didn't know anything, how many times did this kind of tragedy happen here?
In this courtyard, paved with black smooth bricks and stones, and black masonry buildings, I always felt an offensive warmth, coming from my feet and from all directions.
It's like the weather in the 30s in summer, but it's not the natural temperature in nature, it's like ...... The body temperature of the person. I didn't dare to think about it anymore, my scalp exploded, and my godson was still carried in front of me, and in the blink of an eye, I entered the largest building in the courtyard.
My footsteps were a little slow, and then I observed the building in front of me through the dim light, very strange shape, a large house in the center is circular, twice as large as the surrounding huts, and the surrounding huts are connected to the big houses by a narrow alley that is completely enclosed, some are long and some are short, some are big, some are small, I really can't tell what it looks like?
The godson entered the big room in the middle.
I didn't dare to delay too long, so after taking a look at the shape of the buildings here, I followed in.
After entering the room, several black-clad members stopped us, and the godson had already come down from the platform and stood in front of us.
In front of us was a black hall, a small rectangle that stretched out on either side. And there is no decoration here except for the dim oil lamps, and there is oppressive black everywhere. Due to the distance between the two sides, it is not clear to see from five meters away, and the only thing that can be seen clearly is directly opposite, because all the light sources are concentrated there.
There is a wooden gate, and on either side of the gate, two sculptures are carved out of black rock.
The two statues are two incomparably pure maidens, kneeling opposite each other, their eyes showing infinite devotion in the same direction, and their eyes are towards the center of the gate, and if you look closely, there is a pair of eyes carved on the wooden gate.
This is the first time I have examined these eyes, and I found that these eyes are very special, and there is a small pupil in the pupil, which is curved like a crescent moon, and it looks like a cat's eye, but it is not like it.
Heavy pupils! My heart sank, did I ...... I couldn't help but think of myself, and I remembered the face that was similar to mine when I visited the temple before.
Am I an evil god? A ridiculous idea abruptly abruptly in my mind, but the next moment I firmly denied it, I asked myself to be a person who put my conscience and bottom line in an extremely important position, and I would never be the mad evil god, and I was also normal, never showed any dual personality.
Thinking of this, my eyes became clearer, but I found that the people around me began to become trance one by one, but their eyes became more and more fanatical! There was a faint smell of blood in my nostrils, and I quickly pretended to be in a trance, for I knew in my heart that there was a trick to confuse people in this hall, otherwise no evidence would have given me the idea that I was an evil god.
The godson stood quietly, as if observing us.
At this time, in the darkness that could not be seen clearly from both sides, a rickety figure wearing a black veil walked out, and I don't know if she was born like this, or after a long time, her body has shrunk into a ball, and it looks like she is only about 1.3 meters tall.
This figure was holding a cane in the shape of a girl, and it was very difficult to walk step by step, and the godson looked at this figure coming, and his expression became very complicated.
Before the figure arrived, the figure ...... burst into laughter, and the sound was unpleasant, like a night owl in a graveyard.
"Why are you here?" The godson asked in a very cold voice.
"My dear master, this is an important sacrifice of yours, how can I not come and see if these sacrifices are qualified?" There was a hint of gloom in the tone of the figure, and the words were clear, and there was no scruples.
A few strands of white hair hung down from her black veil, and she finally walked in front of her godson, as if she was gasping for breath with some physical exhaustion.
From some details, I judged that she was a woman, although I didn't see her face, I still sighed, how could anyone be so old?
The godson's face was still very complicated, and he could see that he had a trace of anger, but he forcibly suppressed it and said: "I advise you to be careful when you speak, otherwise they will have other thoughts in their hearts, and their souls will not be so pious and pure." ”
