Chapter II
Sitting happily on a yacht carrying six members who had been screened and allowed to participate in the Purification Society, she did not expect that things would go more smoothly than she expected.
Coincidentally, after the strange man who claimed to be the owner of the panther warned her not to meddle, the next day a female guest approached the Psychic Club to find out the whereabouts of her husband, Barco Wells, who had been missing for more than a month.
The female guest chose the "Divine Calculation" to achieve her hope, and explained that her husband Ba Ke joined the Pure Soul Society more than a month ago, and since then he has disappeared and has not contacted her again.
It was a task that had fallen from the sky into the hands of Cheriel, and for that reason, she could legitimately investigate the matter of the Purifying Soul Society and the Black Panther, instead of listening to the meaningless chatter of the Phantom Night Divine Movement, although when he learned that she was going to infiltrate the Pure Soul Society, he had asked him to complete the commission in her place.
"I'm going to the Soul Purification Club to find someone, why are you so nervous?" she asked, puzzled.
"Are you really just looking for someone?" asked Phantom Night Visionary.
"Of course, what do you think I'm going to do?"
"I can predict that you will make a big deal this time. โ
"Why?" When did the Phantom Night Divine Xing become a fortune teller?
"Because it's a devil's cave! When you get there, you're bound to get on the other side. "Phantom Night Shenxing said as if he had seen her make a big fuss about the Purification Meeting.
"Isn't that interesting?" she said, covering her mouth, not only not dismayed, but more excited.
She still remembered the angry and funny look on her face when she said this, and he couldn't do anything about her.
Now, she easily passed the screening of the Pure Soul Society, took a plane to Puerto Rico in the Caribbean, and then boarded a yacht to participate in their spiritual training camp and headed for some unknown island.
It is not easy to join the Pure Spirit Society, they require many conditions, and the main reason why Quelier can successfully blend in is money.
With money, it's especially easy to get things done, and this is the iron rule to survive in this real world.
And the Ai consortium has a lot of money, which is a weapon for Quelier to be allowed to join the club immediately.
Most of the members of the Pure Soul Society are middle-class financial people, and the qualification requirements for new members are also similar to a certain degree of financial resources, and Quelier grasped this important point and showed off the personal savings in her name that her father had given her, and was immediately greeted by the recruiters of the Pure Soul Society. At that time, she knew that she was on the list of selected birds.
The boat continued to sail into the blue sea, the warm sea breeze blowing, and she stood on the deck and seemed to enjoy the scenery, but in fact kept an eye on the course.
In the vast sea, if you don't see the way back, won't you be trapped alive when you escape?
She dared to pack a ticket with God, this luxurious private yacht was definitely a one-way transport, and as soon as they entered that mysterious island, it would be difficult for them to get out.
The yacht was well-equipped and richly decorated, and it was evident that the Pure Soul Society must be a religious organization with very deep pockets, and how much money had it had exploited from its followers? She didn't understand why the recruits were all young women? She had secretly looked at their profiles, and they had nothing in common with each other, the only similarity was that they were all middle-class and upper-middle, and one of them was the daughter of an entrepreneur.
As far as she knew, the Pure Spirit Society did not only recruit female apprentices, it was both male and female, as long as there was money, it would not be too difficult to enter, but why was it completely female this time?
Odd!
As she pondered her question, the ship was slowly approaching a lonely island, covered with oily green trees, and looked like a round green hat emerging from the sea.
The boat docked at a sturdy, makeshift pallet dock, and she and the other women disembarked, a nine-seater station wagon waiting outside the pallet.
While the other women were basking in the pleasure of a vacation, Quelier felt that there was an indescribable gloom on the island, and the more she walked into the island, the more yin aura prevailed.
Phantom Night said that this was a demon cave, and it was really aptly described! But, what would the demon king look like inside? She was quite curious.
The car drove on the narrow asphalt road, through the winding trees, and after seven minutes, a castle that did not match the whole scenery at all came into view.
Castle Yay! Queliel almost ran out of breath. To be honest, in a place where there should only be a holiday cabin, this gray castle is as if it were cut in with a movie technique, which is too unreal.
"Excuse me, this isโ" she turned to one of the staff members leading them.
"This is where the altar of the Pure Soul Society is located. The staff had a look of reverence on their faces.
"Yes, this is the only time a year that devotees of the Spiritual Camp can enter the island and worship the leopard god in person. When the staff said the word "leopard god", they also bowed their heads reverently.
"Leopard God?" Yes, the idol worship of the Pure Spirit Society is the leopard, she has known this for a long time. But I wonder if the panther is here?
Through the huge city gates, Cherier truly understood the mystery and power of the Pure Soul Society.
The castle was not as dark as she had imagined, on the contrary, the daylight and art lamps brought in from the patio illuminated the whole space very warmly, and the greenery and beautiful statues everywhere showed the magnificent landscape moderately, standing in the ancient hall, she saw the spider web-like passages extending in different directions, and many worshippers in white robes walking around the corridor.
A man named Sika appeared with a smile, he was young and handsome, also dressed in a white robe, and his beautiful blonde hair faintly glowed in the light, and if he was not careful, it was very easy to mistake him for an angel sent by God, if he could add a pair of wings.
"Welcome to the altar of Leopard Island, my dear companions, where you will be purified of your soul and feel a completely different kind of peace, so put aside all your worldly thoughts and concepts, and let us pray together to bring us new life and strength from the Leopard God and the Sect Master. โ
Sika's singing, graceful voice immediately captured the hearts of the women, who smiled dizzily and nodded frequently.
Quelier struggled to resist the urge to laugh, and she didn't listen to the ridiculous and cookie-cutter words.
"Please refrain from speaking loudly when you enter the castle, it will alarm our great Master, Mr. Fonzi. The festival begins at twelve o'clock at midnight, when we will wake you up in your room, and until then, you would do well to stay in your room and not move around. When Sika had finished speaking, he motioned for the staff to take them away.
The six staff members led them to different corridors, and Quelier said, "Why did you separate us?"
"Yes, Miss Alang, every newcomer must be quarantined during devotional, that's the rule. The staff member walking in front of her explained.
"That's rightโ" she elongated, remembering the passages she had taken.
After walking for nearly five minutes, she was brought to a wooden door with golden apples cast in it, and the staff opened the door to let her in.
The room almost comparable to the superior suite was refreshing to her, and she nodded with satisfaction, and was about to ask more, but the staff member quietly retreated, closed the door, and said to the door: "Please rest, dinner will be delivered here." With that, he left.
Queliel walked to the door, grabbed the handle, and it was locked as she had predicted.
"I'm going to be imprisoned, right?" she frowned and sneered.
Turning around, she simply studied the layout of the room, in this room of about 40 square meters, the classical four-poster wooden bed is very eye-catching, reminiscent of the court life in the eighteenth century, the brocade sofa, the artistic lamp, and the famous paintings on the wall that cannot be distinguished from the real from the fake, all of which make her suspect that the designer here may have a special preference for Gu Dong furniture.
The bathroom was also full of antiquity, and she looked at every nook and cranny and shrugged her shoulders mockingly. If you've lived here for a long time, you can't figure out what era you're in.
Then, she rolled her eyes and saw two floor-to-ceiling windows covered by heavy curtains, so she walked to the windows and tried to open them, but when she opened the curtains, she saw two blocked walls.
It's just a window in disguise!
Clarier's heart moved, and she was a little disgusted by the way the Pure Spirit Society treated the new recruits.
What exactly do they want to do?
What is the purpose of imprisoning a new believer?
It seemed that the interior of the Pure Spirit Society was not pure, and Quelier quickly recalled in her mind a lot of information she had checked before leaving. It seems that the members of the Pure Soul Society will live here for a period of time before being sent back, and after her investigation, everyone who has been to the Pure Soul Society has changed their personality and behavior one hundred and eighty degrees even if they return home, and these people have become fanatics of the Pure Soul Society, regardless of their family income, they will also donate most of their income to the Pure Soul Society, but these unreasonable behaviors are covered up under the admiration of personal love.
What kind of treatment have those people been treated here? That's the main purpose of Chellier's involvement. In addition to bringing her client's husband back safely, she also had to find out if the Pure Soul Society was an unscrupulous organization that cheated money in the name of religion.
Wow! What a sense of justice!
She was amused that she was still in the mood to laugh at herself, compared to the previous incidents, this time the incident between the Pure Spirit Society and the Black Panther aroused her great interest, because she didn't quite understand what the reasoning was, maybe the relationship between the Black Panther impressed her too much.
Sitting on the couch, she relaxed her limbs and forced herself to close her eyes for a moment before seeing the opportunity to act.
๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ
In the house, there was no sky outside, and she looked at the watch on her wrist, pointing to 6:40, she was a little hungry, and she didn't know when dinner would be delivered, so she was so bored that she was locked in her room waiting for dinner to live like a prisoner. She walked impatiently back and forth dozens of times, and seeing that the carpet was about to be trampled into a groove, she finally decided to go on an adventure before dinner.
She waited impatiently until midnight, took out a combo gun from her luggage and took it with her, and used her telekinesis to instantly come to the door, probe left and right, and after making sure that there was no one, she quietly walked towards one of the channels.
It would not be an exaggeration to describe this place as a labyrinth! As she walked, she marveled at how someone could build such a complex castle, and she had a good memory, but she couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.
However, when she was confused, she still noticed a strange thing, the white-robed believers she had seen near the hall were gone, and the corridor was silent, strangely quiet, and everything seemed strange and unpredictable.
She took a few more steps, turned a big corner, and before her she saw an extremely large space, with a high vaulted roof, marble floors, and rows of futons that could be used for worshippers to kneel down.
Could this be a church-like meeting place, did it? she wondered.
She walked in cautiously, only to see a circular three-dimensional relief on the wall directly in front of her, it was a black leopard's head, with amber beads in its eyes, its mouth wide open, showing its sharp teeth, facing the whole field with a mighty and terrifying expression. Under the relief is an altar, and on the altar there is a rectangular platform, which is not clear for what it was for.
Perhaps because the festival has not yet begun, there is no half of a figure here, and there are small lamps hanging on the four walls, which feels a little gloomy, and even the totem of the black panther on the ground also looks like a cloth. Queliel looked at it for a while, deciding to look somewhere else, but she had barely taken a step when a slight voice came from behind the altar.
Bursts of low panting and groaning sounds, sounding like... The sound of men and women having fun!
Startled, she slowly walked along the wall in the direction of the altar.
Ten meters from the altar, she heard a woman's murmur distinctly.
"That's it!ah! That's it! Barco, you're amazing!"
"It's... Dear saint, you have given me this strength... Ahh
The gasp continued for a moment, and the man and woman, apparently finished, began to talk again.
"You don't have to go back, stay... Stay here and stay with me forever..."The woman's sensual voice is extremely seductive.
"I'm never going to go again. Saint... I only serve you..."There was a hint of respect in the man's panting voice.
"Very well, don't forget that your soul is already mine, and those who break their oaths will not live long. Do you understand?" the woman said warned.
"Yes, I love... Saint... My man and soul will always belong to you alone..."
"Okay, wait for me here tomorrow evening. โ
"Yes. โ
After the conversation, a black fan stood up from behind the altar, only a white satin robe was draped casually over her shoulders, her peach eyes and apricot cheeks, red lips and nose, and her plump breasts loomed on the clothes, which was very attractive.
What kind of world is this?
Then a shirtless man also stood up, looked at the woman obsessively, and kept saying, "You are so beautiful! Ever since I came here and met you, I've been thinking about you all the time. โ
"Then listen to me obediently and forget about your wife and the affairs of the family. The woman cupped the man's chin and sneered.
"I don't remember anything about my wife," he grabbed her hand and kissed her hard.
"Good. โ
Queliel looked at the man's face from afar, only to realize that he was the missing man she was looking for... Mr. Barco Wells!
Seeing how fascinated he was, it was impossible for him to go back now.
She was in a daze when she noticed another person behind the altar.
"You're too arrogant, Rita, take the believers out on your own **, are you still worthy of being a saint of the Pure Soul Society?" said the newcomer coldly while standing in the shadows.
"Leopard... Leopard God..."Ba saw the most sacred person of the Pure Spirit Society appear, and his whole body trembled with fright.
"Are you jealous? Rita smiled back, unconcerned about her behavior and her disheveled clothes.
"I feel disgusting!" Qiu Lie paced out, still dressed in black that blended with the darkness.
It's him?! Clariel didn't expect to see the panther owner here.
"Youโ" Rita's face changed, her gorgeous face twisted into a ball.
Qiu Lie turned his head and glared at Barco, and shouted in a voice that could almost freeze to death: "You still don't get out!"
"Yes!" Barco hung his head back, and he could tell from his back that he was almost paralyzed with fear.
"Liberation and love are among the dogmas in our society, so what's wrong with me doing that?" Rita angrily walked up to him.
"Don't talk to me about dogma, I'm too lazy to listen to that. Qiu Lie snorted softly and turned to leave.
"Qiu Lie!" Rita suddenly hugged him and said excitedly, "I actually only want you, but why don't you hug me lately? Why? I'm so lonely, I will..."
"Go and wash your disgusting smell away, Rita, that smell makes me want to vomit!" Qiu Lie scolded unceremoniously.
"You... Count you ruthless! Don't want me when you're done!" Rita yelled angrily.
"Everyone is preparing dinner at the moment, do you want to alarm them to come and see the show?" Qiu Lie sneered.
Dinner? Oops! The peeping Chilier couldn't help but pat her head, remembering that the staff had said that dinner would be brought to her room, and if she was found missing, wouldn't things be a mess?
This small gesture of hers immediately attracted Qiu Lie's attention, and he stared keenly at where she was and strode over. "Who is it?"
"Revenge," Rita called out to him.
"Go back to the room!" he commanded, turning his head.
Hell, run! Quelier had no time to think about it, and moved to the channel with mental power, she couldn't take care of it, she had to find her way back first.
Qiu Lie rushed over to take a look, but found no one, and when he was suspicious, he heard footsteps on the left side of the channel, so he followed silently.
Queliel knew that she was in a little trouble, and that her mind had to move as she pleased, but now she couldn't even figure out whether her room was east or west, and even if she did, it would be useless.
From one corner to another, and finally came to a black wooden door, and was hesitating to enter, when suddenly a large hand reached out from behind her to cover her mouth, and took her hand and pulled her aside.
"Who allowed you to walk around casually?" Qiu Lie asked gloomily.
Queliel was really taken aback, she didn't even know when he was coming behind her. She'd always felt the proximity of others, but this time... She didn't even notice it, why?
The shock made her forget to move away, and she just stared stupidly at Qiu Lie's murderous handsome face.
Qiu Lie's eyes widened when he forced her to face him, because he never thought that the ghostly woman in front of him would be Iran Elli!
"You?" his shock was no less than hers. "What are you doing here?" did she take his words as wind in her ears?
"Uh... Is that your attitude toward you new believers?" she regained her composure, shrugged, and smiled at him.
"Believer, you?" Qiu Lie didn't know why he was so angry. If this girl is discovered by Sect Leader Fangzi, she will definitely die!
"Yes, I'm an official member of your club now!" she leaned on her head with a smile on her face, and her beautiful and beautiful facial features were all shocked and fearless.
"You're one of the six new female members this time?" his brow tightened. Recently, I was in a bad mood, and I didn't turn on the computer to check the information of the new recruits, so I damn let her in.
"yes!"
"You... You're killing yourself!" he remembered the purpose of the six young girls being recruited this time, and he pinched a cold sweat for her.
"In order to accomplish the mission, it is inevitable to be born and die. She smiled open-mindedly.
"You have ignored my warnings, Miss Alan. Qiu Lie was almost angry with her.
"Hey, I was actually entrusted to find someone, not to deliberately find your guild's ballast, I listened to your warning, but work first, task first, I still have to come!" she said smartly.
"Who are you looking for?" his face grew more and more ugly.
"Find a man who has abandoned his wife and children. โ
"Tell me who it is!"
"What are you doing, you want to help me find him, and then get me away quickly?" she read through his thoughts.
"It's better to leave early, or you may not live to be nineteen. He said coldly.
"Yes, if it were supposed to be like this, I would admit it. Actually, you don't have to worry too much about me saving your leopard, for your own good, you just don't see me and don't know me. She brushed the hair from her forehead, wondering why he remembered the little thing about saving the leopard so clearly.
"Indeed, I have warned you not to step in, it is your duty, and it is none of my business if you want to die here. His words were not so much to refute her, but to tell himself not to care too much about an outsider.
"So, if you don't tell me who I really am, I'd be grateful. She smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and ran out naturally with no big or small movements between the Phantom Night Divine Walk and the Thunderbolt.
Looking at her innocent smiling face, Qiu Lie thought of the scene of her being sucked dry of blood by the sect leader for no reason, and his stomach twitched frequently.
"You... Do you know what will happen to you six women at the last festival?" he grabbed her hand.
"How?"
"It's a blood sacrifice, and the blood of the six of you is going to be used to nourish Fangz's energy. He said calmly.
"Wow! so cruel?" she said, her eyes wide open, her expression exaggerated.
"If you're smart, leave before midnight!" Of course he knew that she was not afraid at all, and her eyes were full of playful light, who raised this girl so boldly?
"Then I can't go, if I don't rescue the other five women and the client, it will damage my reputation as a 'divine calculation'. She said.
"You idiot!" he bullied her, and couldn't help but scold.
"Hey, growing up, you're the first person to call me an idiot!" she thought it was quite fresh, her super high IQ and superpowers had already pushed her to the throne of "genius", when had she ever heard such adjectives?
Qiu Lie had to admit that she was completely different from the women he had ever seen, she looked innocent and beautiful, but in fact she was smart and clever, and under her nonchalant attitude was a stubborn head harder than a stone and a damn adventurous spirit. She is actually not easy to see, he knows that the future successor of the Ai Consortium is a genius with an IQ of more than two hundred, and ordinary people can never guess what is going on in the genius's head.
"Those who enter the Soul Purification Society and want to get out of it are idiots!" he sneered.
"That's... Maybe there will be exceptions starting with me. There was a sense of confidence in her sarcastic words.
"You don't know how powerful Fonz is, Miss Alanโ" He frowned involuntarily at the mention of Fonze.
"Call me Quelier, you'll find out my details anyway. And you, I heard that woman call you Qiu Lie?" she interrupted him.
"How long have you been eavesdropping at the altar?" he glared at her.
"Soon, I just happened to see some strange sights...", she stuck out her tongue.
"The woman is the Holy Maiden of the Order, and her name is Rita. He explained.
"Holy Maiden? Well, that's what the Holy Maiden looks like. "Shouldn't all saints be as guarded as jade? Why are the saints here so excited? Sure enough, it's a cult!
"Watch out for her, she's the eyeliner of Sect Leader Fangzi. โ
"Your lover too?" she asked, looking up at him, curious. Thinking of what Rita had said to him, the saint seemed to be very fond of Qiu Lie.
He froze for a moment before replying, "No." โ
"Sorry, too many questions, isn't it none of my business, right?" she raised her hand and made a sorry gesture.
"That's right. He grimaced.
Pursing her lips, she thought his attitude was funny, he was not cheerful, even full of depression, but for some reason she always couldn't help but want to tease him, wanted to see him laugh. It's a pity that so far, he has been with a straight face, a high-level virtue, even if the corners of his mouth are raised, they are all sneers or sneers.
What is his status in the Pure Soul Society?
Suddenly, her mind turned back to her own danger at the moment, she didn't have time to stay here and think nonsense, she had to go back to her room before dinner was served, so she hurriedly grabbed his clothes, and said, "I forgot to tell you, can you take me back to my room?
"Which room do you live in?" he looked down at her beside him, and a throbbing that even he didn't understand instantly enveloped his body.
"Apple, there's a golden apple on the door. She quickly answered.
"Follow me. "It's not in her interest to make a mess now, Fonzi is a very suspicious man, and if he is suspicious, Queliel Alang will be finished.
Quelier spun around behind Qiu Lie, and within a few minutes she was back in front of her room. It seems that the food delivery has not yet arrived, and everything is calm and normal.
"Hey, you're familiar with this place!" she admired.
"Of course, I grew up here. He looked at him expressionlessly. The dark, perverted castle was his childhood residence.
"You grew up here?" she froze. Does he have a deep connection with the Pure Soul Society?
"I've seen too many people die here. I advise you to leave by tomorrow, there is a speedboat at the private dock on the east coast, you can..."
"What about the others?" she interrupted him again.
"Don't worry about other people, her sense of justice and great mind can be saved here, there may be a chance to go alone, and it is definitely a dream to take those women away. Don't expect me to help you, for in my capacity here, my warning ends here, and I won't interfere with anything that happens to you. His face grim and he decided not to care about her.
"Who are you, what are you?" she asked.
"You'll find out at midnight. He replied coldly, then turned to leave.
Looking at his graceful and agile walking posture, Quelier suddenly called him: "Qiu Lie, where is your leopard?"
Qiu Lie was stunned, didn't look back, and said behind her back: "Don't worry about it, it's very good." After a few seconds, he added softly, "Don't drink the soup for dinner." โ
Why can't you drink it?
Just as she was slightly startled, his figure had disappeared around the corner of the channel. When she got back into the house, she couldn't digest what she had seen and heard in the hour, so when dinner was served, she was no longer hungry, so she stuffed a few mouthfuls of chicken and vegetables at random, and went into the bathroom to take a shower, waiting eagerly for midnight to come.
