Chapter 107: Slaughter Secret Society (IX)

Suddenly there was a chuckle in the crowd, with a hint of sarcasm. The crowd spread out on both sides like Moses dividing the sea. An unusual man slowly came out of the crowd, just like a queen who was presented by her ministers. Under the aura of confidence and strength, even strangers could not help but make way for him.

“I didn’t expect to see an acquaintance here.” Red curled the corners of his mouth, and his gorgeous face showed no delight in meeting an old friend, but instead provocation.

Luo Yishan, standing under the altar, paused. He felt that the people in front of him was a little familiar, but when he recalled, there was no such person in his memory. It was strange. This kind of flamboyant aura and rare style of dress, if he’d seen it once, he could never forget it… Unless…

“Are you…” Luo Yishan suddenly remembered a man, a newcomer with a different temperament from the man in front of him, who was later taken away by the Trial.

Red smiled, and his brown eyes were suddenly stained with blood. The original enchanting face suddenly revealed a demonic symbol, which entangled with the tattoo at the corner of his eye rendered the pale skin with a sense of bright and fragrant lust. The demon’s unabashed power spread from him, and the people around him in this hot purgatory were overcome with the feeling of suffocation!

“Dear Mr. Luo Yishan, we meet again.” Red showed sharp fangs and smiled enigmatically.

Luo Yishan, who had been called his real name, was silent for a few seconds: “I really didn’t expect… the ‘newcomer’ I met on the airship to turn out to be a demonized player.”

“I’m not surprised. The smell of Slaughter on you was too strong. Even if you can fool the Court’s examination, you can’t fool my eyes,” Red said mockingly, looking haughtily at Luo Yishan.

He didn’t explain why he acted like a newcomer at that time, nor did he explain his coat bearing the Holy See’s emblem, nor did he explain his bizarre resurrection on the airship. He even provoked Luo Yishan unscrupulously, but the more puffed up, the more cautious the other party was, the more initiative they took to weave his behavior into a logical story.

“Let me introduce you to Mr. Red from the Underground Ant City, a master who recently came to the Village of Dusk. He was originally affiliated to the Underground Ant City’s branch, but he hasn’t returned for a long time because he was honing himself in purgatory.” Mrs Kathleen duly introduced Red’s origin to everyone.

Red looked around at the believers, and the demonic smile on his face seemed to grow.

“I came for someone, and I think everyone is familiar with him.” Red deliberately prolonged his tone and said slowly, with a cruel smile at the end. “His name is Kuangshan, my lover.”

“So?” Luo Yishan calmly asked.

“So, I will accept his ring,” Red said lightly, glancing at the ring on Luo Yishan’s thumb.

He spoke calmly and understated it as if he were stating a fact, but it doing so, his words became more terrifying. His mysterious origin, his demonized body, and his imposing manner of oppressing people forced the others to pay attention to him.

The expression on Luo Yishan’s face was stiff, and his identity as a holder was inevitable, which was bound to offend Red…

Red’s origin was too mysterious. He’d disguised himself as a newcomer who had just entered the game on the airship, killed the believer who was overcome by his seed by means of bizarre resurrection, and deliberately let him see the Vatican’s emblem on his clothes. Was this a way of testing him? At that time, he didn’t feel the smell of Slaughter on Red’s body. Even the Trails Office couldn’t find it.

This man was so unfathomable… He would have to deal with him carefully.

Luo Yishan, who was caught in conspiracy theories, laughed heartily: “According to the rules of the Slaughter Secret Society, any believer is qualified to compete for the position of the holder. If there are many people competing at the same time, the first person to complete the task is the winner.”

Red crossed his arms but didn’t refute. He just said arrogantly: “What are you waiting for? Who else wants to compete for the holder, stand up together. But the person who will eventually bring the sacrifice back will only be me.”

No noise was made, the only sound that of the rolling magma, which rose and fell in this underground lava cave.

Red laughed, as if laughing at their timidity, but no one dared to show dissatisfaction.

Luo Yishan stood on the altar, and the ring on his hand touched the groove of the altar. A beam of light rose from the altar and sank into the dome ceiling covered with blue fluorescent fungi. A few lines of golden words emerge in the light:

[SACRIFICE TARGET NAME: Ning Zhou]

[GENDER: Male]

[AGE: 21]

[AFFILIATION: Holy See]

[PERSONAL INTRODUCTION: An exorcist of the Holy See, a knight of high rank, who is suspected of holding semi-finished products. At present, he is in the Village of Dusk and is closely related to the Court]

At that moment, Qi Leren failed to conceal his horrified expression.

“What’s the matter?” Mrs. Kathleen noticed his look and asked curiously.

Red lowered his eyes, and a strange smile spread on his mouth. He licked his red lips with great interest: “Ah, it’s him…”

He glanced at Luo Yishan and threw a kiss: “Sorry, I won this task.”

Luo Yishan’s heart sank and his face was silent: “It is not known who will die.”

“Haha, so, I’ll bring this person back alive, and let you meet the Vatican’s exorcist. No matter how firm one’s faith is, it’s so vulnerable in the face of desire and hope… But the more painful it is when it falls, the more delicious the soul is, making one… unable to stop.” Red looked at the golden words emerging from the beam, showing a subtle complexity in his expression.

Red turned away and smiled strangely. The demon’s bright red eyes seemed to be flowing with hot magma, making those around him dare not stare: “I will use his blood to begin the coronation ceremony and sacrifice him to my Lord.”

Luo Yishan, who had a heavy heart, reluctantly smiled: “I will wait and see.”

After leaving the field, Qi Leren returned to the place where they had entered the field, but found that the time inside and outside the field was synchronous. He clearly remembered that there was a significant difference between the speed of time inside and outside Su He’s field, probably because this field was a semi-finished product attached to a memento.

With Red’s persona, Qi Leren lightly avoided Mrs. Kathleen’s temptations and left.

Seeing Ning Zhou’s name at the Slaughter ceremony really surprised him, but he soon realized that it might be a good opportunity for him. If Ning Zhou was willing to cooperate with him, he could bring the living Ning Zhou into the Slaughter ceremony and take the memento ring.

In a word, let’s discuss it with the Court first.

That night, Miao Li appeared in Qi Leren’s dream. After learning the true identity of the agent, she was surprised and said she would inform her boss.

“We’ll inform Ning Zhou that he’s locked in as the ceremony’s target. As for whether he’s willing to cooperate with the task, it depends on his attitude. After all, he’s not an employee of the Court, and we have no right to order him to do anything,” Miao Li said.

Qi Leren had a feeling that Ning Zhou would agree to help… He just had this feeling.

Ah… Don’t worry about debt, don’t worry about debt.

No, no.
