Chapter Forty-Eight: Exploring the Cult

Looking at the dim and deep hole, the female killer Shadow Kill was undoubtedly a little hesitant, her years of experience as a killer and her inexplicable inception told her that there must be a huge danger inside!

"Damn, what's next?"

Reason told her that she should stay away from here, or even escape from this strange castle immediately.

However, when she thought of Dong Xuan's chilling cold gaze that seemed to be engraved on her soul before departure, as well as that kind of magical equipment, she gritted her teeth and continued to follow.

"Bastard, this time it's really a fight with your life! After I go back, I want Dong Xuan's guy to compensate for five years of going back to me, no, ten years of youth! ”

After secretly being ruthless in her heart, Shadow Kill quickly adjusted her mood and completely entered a state of no waves, although her subconscious mind was still constantly issuing warnings, but it was no longer able to make her already make up her mind shake in the slightest.

Dancing on the blade and putting life and death out of the way, this kind of will that will not change even if the sword mountain and sea of fire in front of her are the manifestations of her real promotion to a subversive state as a top killer!

She's really going to die!

As soon as Shadow Kill, who was in a cold state of mind, stepped into the hole, his eyes suddenly lifted.

Because at this moment, she seemed to have stepped into another world, not only did the temperature around her drop by at least four or five degrees in an instant, but she was also keenly aware of a strange power that made her feel a little restless

"What is this?"

Squinting, Shadow Slayer turned around and carefully examined the strange carved patterns on both sides of the straight stone passage in front of him.

Judging from the information that Dong Xuan revealed that this was a gathering place for cultists, as well as the mysterious things before, these are undoubtedly religious-related paintings.

But unlike the most common and widespread cults in the United States that use the name of Christ, the mural depicts something completely different from the story of the Bible

The Bible, as the theological foundation of Christianity, the largest religion in modern times, is said to have been inherited and compiled by Moses, David, Solomon, Matthew and others at different times.

It consists of two parts: the Old Testament in Hebrew and the New Testament in Greek.

It tells the story of the promise and deliverance of the LORD God to His chosen people, the Israelites, and the national history of the Jewish people from the golden age of slavery in Egypt to the captives of Babylon.

It is precisely because of the influence of Christianity, the world's number one sect, that most of the petty sects in the United States are attached to it like selling dog meat on the head of a sheep.

Of course, this also undoubtedly represents an even greater danger.

"This three-eyed guy is the god they worship?"

Looking at the image of the deity, which was clearly different from Christianity or Catholicism, Shadow Kill felt a deep sense of jealousy.

Can a piece of meat be cut off in the realm of one of the strongholds of Christianity, can this sect be a good stubble?

In addition to the secrecy of the operation, there must be something special about being able to achieve such an astonishing scale.

"I hope I don't run into a monster that claims to be a god"

Thinking to herself, her steps did not pause in the slightest.

Although the diagonal downward passage was narrow and straight, with only a few torches in the dim light to bring some light, fortunately there was no such thing as electronic surveillance, not even a single guard.

This undoubtedly made the speed of Shadow Kill's next move significantly faster, and he even quickly vaguely saw the back of the previous tracking target, as well as the faint conversation between the other party and several people in the same black robe.

Since she couldn't use the mute ability for a long time, she didn't dare to get too close, so she only captured a few keywords such as "high priest", "holy woman", and "monthly sacrifice".

Still, it was clear that it was enough for her to deduce a lot in her head.

"It seems that these people have arrived here one after another because of the monthly sacrifice ceremony?"

This coincidental timing undoubtedly made her suspicious of Dong Xuan's order that he had to find this place before today, and it was clear that this damn bastard obviously knew something.

"In that case, why didn't he tell me any news?!"

Although she was puzzled, she still tried to capture the innocence that kept coming, so that she could figure out the current situation as soon as possible.

After walking like this, for about three or four minutes, the people in front of them suddenly stopped, because a huge stone gate stood in front of them.

This time, Shadow Kill finally found the guards, two guys dressed similarly to those on the city walls, but with golden runes, guarding the stone gate.

Through the conversation of several people, she finally learned the identity of this kind of dressed guy - sacrifice

"So this is the sacrifice in this cult? It seems that it is completely ordinary people."

Squinting his eyes, Shadow Kill looked at the two of them seriously, but he didn't find anything special.

Even judging from the obviously loose muscles and white palms, these two people obviously lack exercise, and it is estimated that they may not even be as good as construction workers when they really fight.

But she still didn't dare to be too careless, just in case she used the silence technique directly and then carefully sandwiched between several black-robed believers and passed through the gate opened by the two, during which the two priests did not react to her, which immediately made her breathe a sigh of relief.

"These sacrifices can be judged as no threat for the time being, but I don't know, those high-level sacrifices, and even the high priests and saints in the mouths of those people, will have any special power?"

With a little curiosity, she walked into the corridor behind the door, and when she stepped through the small corridor that was only a few meters long, she saw the scene behind her, and Shadow Kill was shocked.

It is an extremely large oval hall that can easily accommodate at least a few hundred people, and the overall building is made of huge stones like the previous ones, but there is a noticeable change in style.

The three-meter-high stone walls have been used to create a harmonious pattern in gold and pink with a large number of colored paints.

The hanging candles all over the head emit a pale pink glow, all of which feel as strange as stepping into a pink world from a dark ghost.

Shadow Kill felt like he had goosebumps.

"It's actually something like this"

Looking at the men and women who had untied their cloaks, wearing masks, and wearing all kinds of costumes that were more seductive than nothing, Shadow Kill already knew exactly what kind of sacrifice these guys would be.

But it's not surprising when you think about it, the nature of human inferiority hasn't changed much for thousands of years, and the Seven Deadly Sins are all very clear

- Arrogance, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, gluttony, lust. Desire.

Obviously, these guys are all cultists of the last item.

This sentence is undoubtedly the most direct explanation for the beginnings of many cults.

Whether it is the ancient aristocracy or the modern magnates, these powerful people can finally make them feel stimulated after experiencing all the things that can be enjoyed in the world, except for poison. It is estimated that only the prohibition remains. Don't rejoice. The pursuit of pleasure.

Even the most serious Germans often do this kind of thing, not to mention the fall of the United States, which Europe calls a place of depour, and it is not surprising to think about it.

Whether it is the cultural atmosphere or the will of the whole, it is simply a natural hotbed for the development of this kind of cult

This made the shadow killer, who was actually an Italian, suddenly full of contempt for these depraved guys.

"A bunch of scum!"

She was still so nervous and cautious, but she didn't expect that these people turned out to be the most unpopular kind of guys in the cult.

Although she herself is not from a good background, this does not affect her at all from standing on the moral high ground to look down on this most despised scum with extremely weak will and spirit.

It's a pity that the next moment reality gave her a slap in the face - she was actually discovered by these guys who looked like waste in their eyes!

"Wow, wow, looks like there's a special little mouse mixed in?"

Hearing this voice that seemed to sound directly in his ears and was full of charm, Shadow Kill's heart suddenly tightened.

"Did you find out?" “

Subconsciously, she glanced in the direction where the sound came from, and immediately saw the other party.

It was a woman standing on a high platform at the front.

Unlike those worshippers, she wore a pale gold outfit that was more of an alternative evening dress than a priestly garment.

Under the scattered long golden hair is an extremely charming and bewitching face, and under the background of the curvaceous evening priest's dress on the body, the extremely bumpy figure, coupled with the golden scepter in his hand, it is almost thought that Athena has descended to earth

The woman who was suspected to be presiding over the priest looked at the location of the invisible shadow killer with a pair of pale green eyes as charming as water waves, and the corners of her red mouth were slightly hooked, turning into a seductive and mysterious smile.

It's a pity that that smile made her shudder in Shadow Kill's eyes, because she felt a familiar, death-like aura in this woman

"Run!"

The only thought filled her mind, and Shadow Kill glanced at her without saying a word, and took advantage of the fact that the stone door behind her had not been completely closed, and directly turned on the silence technique, and then ran wildly towards the exit, while clenching her silver teeth and feeling extremely resentful in her heart.

"How did you meet another guy who ignores invisibility?! If you keep encountering this kind of guy, it seems that you won't be able to do this job as a killer in the future, it's too dangerous! ”

It's okay if you just ignore invisibility, but now Shadow Kill is still very confident in his combat effectiveness.

And what she is most afraid of is undoubtedly that the other party has arranged a large number of traps in the lair, and it is difficult to dodge in this kind of straight passage, which is a real desperate situation for her.

But unfortunately, Shadow Kill quickly realized what Murphy's Law was
