Chapter 109: Slaughter Secret Society (XI)

{cw: brief transmisogyny}

“You are in a very dangerous situation,” Mrs. Kathleen said to Red while enjoying Ashley’s black tea.

Red was still careless. He gave Mrs Kathleen a smile after hearing her words.

Ashley, who stood on the side, was worried. Although it hadn’t been long since he’d become a follower of Slaughter, he’d already seen blood shed in several selection ceremonies. Those candidates had put aside their tasks and become absorbed in dealing with their own kind, and almost every time all would be killed except the final winner. He couldn’t help but worry about Red. He had heard that he’d left the Underground Ant City’s branch of the Slaughter Secret Society several years ago, so it was inevitable that he was unfamiliar with the situation in the Slaughter Secret Society now.

“If you’re worried that Lie Yang will suddenly attack me, hehe, I think I’m a little smarter than him.” Red pulled out a cigarette for himself, threw another one to Mrs. Kathleen, and then looked straight at Ashley.

Axi went red in the face, bending down to light Red’s cigarette.

From this overlooking point of view, he found for the first time that the intimidation had faded away from Red’s body. He was still indifferent and careless, but under the thick makeup, he seemed to have a delicate face, which was both strange and novel…

Feeling his line of sight, Red raised his face to look at him, and his light brown eyes reflected the scarlet light of the sunset. At close range, this was more terrifying than he was in his succubus state.

Ashley went back to Mrs. Kathleen in a panic and lit her cigarette. Mrs. Kathleen said jealously, “My underling seem to like you very much.”

“No, ma’am…” Scared, Ashley hurried to defend himself.

“He’s cute, but unfortunately I’m not interested in this kind of soft boy.” Red gave a smile as enchanting as a passing cloud, flicked the cigarette butt, and continued, “You didn’t come here today just to tell me about Lie Yang.”

Being ignored, Ashley stood behind Lady Kathleen. Still, every time Red ignored his existence, it made him feel more silly about his feelings. He would rather choose a man who was useless in bed, or wasn’t concerned with greetings, or was even stingy with kisses. When would he be able to talk and laugh with him like Mrs. Kathleen? Would there really be that day? Ashley, who was eaten by his inferiority complex, watched secretly, and his heart was filled with humble acidity.

“Lie Yang is also very wary of me now because I’ve referred you, but I still have good relationships with a few friends, so I will hear some things. I suggest that you complete the task as soon as possible and bring the target’s body into the field as soon as possible. It’s best if before Lie Yang is ready, I threaten him with my friends and ‘force’ him to hand over the ring,” Mrs. Kathleen said.

“As long as the ring is still in Lie Yang’s hands, he won’t hand it over,” Red said coldly and smiled mockingly. “I prefer to bring my prey into the field alive and begin the ceremony by watering the altar with his and Lie Yang’s blood.”

With a hand over his heart, Red spoke with a look of longing and enthusiasm: "Only in this way will my Lord notice me, and see that I’m his most loyal believer!”

Mrs. Kathleen’s expression was stiff. Obviously, she was not such a fanatical believer. When she met a fanatical believer, she would feel uncomfortable: “If you insist on this, it will be risky. After all, your prey is a firm hierophant. You might not be able to control him.”

“Compared to my Lord, this danger isn’t worth mentioning,” Red said, his expression decisive.

“OK…” Mrs. Kathleen’s expression could be summarized as: Although I don’t quite understand what you crazy believers think, it’s good that you’re happy.

Mrs. Kathleen left. Although she couldn’t reach an agreement in this meeting, she was still willing to bet on him. She also inquired about Ning Zhou. Qi Leren vaguely said that he’d formed a relationship with him by approaching him while pretending to be a woman. After all, hierophants of the Holy See resisted same-sex love. Mrs. Kathleen looked at him with surprise and even her subordinate, Ashley, was shocked.

They thought it was a terrible thing to let the world know that you used to change your hat and dress as a woman.

Ning Zhou, who was sitting in the basement with his black bird, must think so, hehe.

The underground cave filled with hot lava was once again opened to the Lord of Slaughter’s believers. This half-field was like a solidified space, with no potential for growth, but it was an excellent shelter that allowed believers to not have to gather in a specific place in the Twilight Township, thus reducing the risk of being caught by the Court.

But today, it was about to fall into enemy hands.

Luo Yishan, standing at the edge of the altar, looked dignified. He didn’t expect Red to play his hand so fast. When he was still searching widely for clues about Ning Zhou, Red had already completed the task. Although he hadn’t had enough time to finish the task, it was enough for him to arrange manpower to deal with Red. As long as he killed Red, he was the only candidate. Even if he didn’t not finish the task, the ring in the half-field belonged to him.

On the stone bridge over the rolling magna, holding a chain in hand, Red laughingly came to the altar, and the crowd made way for him spontaneously.

He dragged the man dressed as a Vatican exorcist, but the collar of his shirt was half unbuttoned, revealing large areas of kiss and scratch marks on his clavicle. He looked ahead with empty eyes, wearing a metal collar around his neck and with his hands bound in metal handcuffs, and he walked forward silently and blankly. In this half-field where the heat was like hell, all the places he stepped seemed to be covered with invisible snow and ice.

Red, who showed signs of demonization, looked back lazily, stroked the beautiful abstinent exorcist’s face, and winked in Luo Yishan’s direction: “The exorcist of the Holy See, I brought him alive. How about it? Don’t I have a good style? This fallen pure soul is the best gift to sacrifice for my Lord.”

Red eyed Luo Yishan’s ring. Luo Yishan immediately felt his line of sight and a wave of anger welled up in my mind. He would never hand over this ring! The manpower had been arranged, as long as he gave the order…

Red suddenly showed a strange smile, and the chain held in his hand loosened and fell to the ground with a crunching sound. He had rushed to Luo Yishan like an arrow, and with a wave of his dagger in the air, he moved like the wind - his cheetah-like speed was too fast and amazing, and he threw him to the ground!

“Start it! Get him!” There was a chilling coolness from his wrist, and the severe pain turned Luo Yishan’s command into a scream. The left hand wearing the ring had been cut off by the dagger, and the blood flowed wildly. The defensive shield he used to protect himself was immediately broken, and Red flew out like a bullet. However, he flew too much, and Red fell directly into the rolling magma, turning to ashes in an instant.

Luo Yishan and his men were still stunned by the sudden end of the battle, when an arrow flashing with a silver luster flew like thunder, and the translucent shield was like glass, crashing and breaking under this arrow!

The Vatican exorcist, who had originally been controlled like a marionette under Red’s masterful technique, had opened the shackles on his hands when everyone’s attention had been turned, and Red, who had disappeared into the magma, appeared in front of him again…
