War Paradise

With the help of an optical camouflage cloak, Lin Chi came to the front entrance of the hall to check the surrounding conditions.

The dark red door is four meters high, and obviously it can't be opened by one's own power alone. Fortunately, beside the gate, there is an inconspicuous low side door, which should be used by staff.

Lin Chi stretched out his hand and pushed the side door. The door was locked as he thought, and the drop-shaped keyhole on the door was very conspicuous.

Inconsistent with the technological level of this era, the lock of this door is quite retro. According to Lin Chi's years of gaming experience, this kind of door lock actually opens very well.

If this lock is not judged by the game system as "cannot be opened without a key", it is not difficult to pick this lock by yourself...

Thinking of this, Lin Chi retreated back to the corner of the hall, took out the ACR from his backpack, took out a metal "long needle" from the multifunctional butt, and began to try to pry open the lock of the side door.

After trying for a long time, the kind "click" sounded, Lin Chi put away the gun accessories, gently opened the side door, and entered the shadow behind the door.

Unlike the brightly-lit hall, the "Inner Temple" is shrouded in shadows, with dim red lights on the walls on both sides, making the atmosphere here a little gloomy, a bit like a blood family or other monsters that don't see the sun. Assembly point.

If there is a little concealment in the hall, this is an uncovered **** realm, where a pungent rancid smell rushes to the face, and the many unexplained carrion piled up in the corner of the wall makes Lin Chi feel dangerous .

——This place, shouldn’t it be...

While guessing the situation here, he continued to advance along the dark passage. After walking for less than a minute, he saw a giant statue emerging from the shadow in front.

The statue was carved from black rock. The upper part was completely destroyed. The remaining lower body was dressed in a robe, and the body was abnormally curved. Several insect-shaped clamp limbs were exposed in the front, showing a strange shape of half human and half insect.

In front of the statue stands a small base with ornaments in the shape of bat wings on both sides. And what is displayed above the base is the head of a man!

"I rely on..." Lin Chi cursed in a low voice.

The head was neatly cut from the neck, and blood was still flowing out of the fracture. It was obvious that not long after it was cut off, the two eyeballs almost fell out of the eye sockets, and the open mouth was too late to close, with a face. Face of horror.

Could this be the scavenger who was caught just now?

Looking at the head, Lin Chi pondered for a moment, and then suddenly hid in the shadow of the corner. The sound of footsteps from behind the statue began to reverberate rapidly from far to near in the empty inner temple.

Lin Chi silently stared at the rear, only to see two men in black robes approaching, holding blood-stained rotten knives in their hands, their faces were completely covered by the shadow of the robes, and they couldn't see their looks at all.

The two men in black robes didn't notice an invisible intruder nearby, they just kept muttering something in a low voice, walked to the front of the damaged statue, and then—kneeled with a plop.

"Please the goddess to give us strength so that we can survive in this wasteland..."

"Please give us the power from the goddess so that we can become the most powerful tribe..."

"Please the goddess give us strength, let us dominate this barren land..."

"Please the goddess to give us strength so that we can escape into the dark realm..."

The two black-robed men kept praying, their voices cold and pious. However, if the head of the tribute is replaced by something else, the scene here may be much more harmonious.

——Be a follower of a cult.

Listening to the prayers of the two, Lin Chi immediately flashed the words "cult" in his mind. He had dealt with the "blood worship" in the frozen Savia Valley, and he also knew something about cults.

Everything that happens here is completely in line with the characteristics of "cult sacrificial offerings."

However, this sect must have nothing to do with blood worship, because blood worship worships vampires, not goddesses.

——Have you seen this scene somewhere?

Although he didn't know much about this sect, Lin Chi always felt that he had encountered a similar sect in some game.

This **** sect that uses humans as sacrifices is basically from ancient times. If there is any sect that worships a bug-shaped "goddess" and uses living human sacrifices...

"Please protect us from the goddess."

The bodies of the two black-robed men lay down on the ground and kept this movement for ten seconds before they finally stood up slowly and walked back into the shadows inside the temple.

Seeing these guys completed the prayer ritual, Lin Chi also tiptoed over, trying to figure out what exactly this place was.

The more you go in, the darker the light here. Lin Chi's visibility is getting lower and lower, but this darkness also provides a better concealment effect for the optical camouflage cloak on his body.

Not to mention the use of optical camouflage here, even if you put on a black cloth, you should be able to sneak in. If it hadn't been for the heavy shadows around the black-robed man's feet, Lin Chi might have hit the black-robed man directly.

The feeling of entering the dark realm is like stepping slowly into hell. The more you move forward, the more rancid smell in the air becomes, and something makes a disgusting "crunching" sound in the dark, as if you are eating something.

Even if he couldn't see what was going on here, Lin Chi had almost made up a **** picture. In fact, the light here is dim, which may be a good thing for players. Because even he may not be able to withstand the impact of such a scene.

——Should Carol be killed here, too?

Lin Chi stared at the prompt bar of the game, the prompt of the player's death did not appear. The followers of the cult standing in the dark shadows all prayed in low voices, praying for strength and food to the goddess of terror who needed a human head as a sacrifice.

These devout believers did not notice that the invisible intruder was around at all, but continued to pray until the gentle female voice sounded again, overwhelming their voices:

"Everyone, this ceremony is over. We have finished eating in front of the goddess, and the noble goddess has decided to lend us part of her divine power temporarily!"

"Oh!" The followers cheered.

"Besides, there is another good news." The female voice sounded very happy: "Today, a new believer has joined our sect. Her name is Carol! She will be with us, Serve the decadent goddess-Namira!"

It seems to be the double monthly ticket event. Although there is no hope for this book to be on the list, as an author, I still decided to ask for votes. Thank you.
