Chapter 38 Despair

Maple Street, in a small building with white exterior walls.

The fragments of the corpse have been cleaned, but there are still blood stains on the ground that have turned dark.

The smell of blood also turned into a rotten smell and filled the air, and some vague buzzing sounds could be heard.

It was the flies fighting for food on the sticky floor...

On the second floor, I found the pattern in the room.

At this moment, two figures were standing in the room.

The patterns on the ground have also turned dark and most of them have been cleaned up by the guards.

However, there are still traces on the wooden floor, which appear blurred in the dark room.

"This is a summoning ceremony!"

One of them suddenly said, his voice a little old, but calm and confident.

He then snorted coldly, his voice full of disdain.

"Hmph! The Immortal Cultivator Group only knows this, and the ritual masters they train have not made any progress! This level cannot even be an apprentice in the Secret Language Cultivation Society!"

"Also, the pattern is not complete. If I were to draw it, there were still many places worth improving, such as..."

When the young man heard the old man talking endlessly, the young man next to him felt a headache and quickly interrupted him.

"Teacher, let's find Edith first before talking about this!"

The old man opened his mouth and swallowed the words back, turned his head and asked his student:

"Well, can you be sure that Edith was captured by them? Although the people from the Immortal Cultivator are not easy to use, they have an extremely strong physique and are still a bit troublesome to deal with."

The young man nodded: "It can be basically certain that Edith's disappearance case was taken over by the temple, which is related to the sacrifice ceremony here, and you see this..."

While speaking, he handed over a note.

"Two dark blue plum fruits, one ounce of aged wine over ten years, an Akma feather, and a sharp blade that has harvested intelligent life in twenty-four hours."

The old man whispered the materials on the note and frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

"This is a ceremony that Edith accidentally discovered, and she must have performed it." The young man quickly explained.

"So I was caught by the Immortal Cultivator, right?"

The old man immediately asked, "So too, this kind of ritual that you can tell at a glance is an evil god. Why don't you teach her in advance to give her a certain discernment ability!"

The young man looked bitter: "I went out of the city to find materials last month, and I only came back a few days ago. Who knows..."

The old man waved his hand and interrupted him: "Let's not talk about this for now. Have you brought the things you prepared?"

"It's ready, this is her usual pen."

The young man took out an ink pen from his bag.

The old man took it and took out a small glass bottle from his waist under his robe.

The glass bottle is only the size of a thumb, and the bottle stopper is also made of glass, which is very exquisite.

There was a small purple fluorescent ball in the bottle, with soft light, like a firefly.

The bottle plug opened, and the purple fluorescent light flew out. After wrapping it around the ink pen for two circles, it flew out in a certain direction...

No. 84 Rust Water Street.

The room was filled with a strong smell of blood, as if he was in a slaughterhouse.

Edith curled up in the corner, her green eyes shining dimly, as if she had already accepted her fate.

"Mr. Naix, we may have been discovered here. Should we continue to transfer?"

A voice sounded from the darkness, humble and cautious.

Nix also rang out like a hoarse voice coming from the depths of hell.

"No need, the ceremony has been almost ready! The fog has not swallowed enough flesh and blood before, so let these extraordinary people in the temple fill it up!"

"Hehe! You guys go and notify..."

From Edith's perspective, a brief conversation came from the door, and then the door closed again.

The terrifying figure came to her again.

His dark shadow just enveloped Edith's thin and trembling body, making her feel like she was strangled by an invisible hand, and her breathing became extremely difficult, as if she was about to suffocate the next moment.

"What a pity! Miss Edith, your help message doesn't seem to work! Does the Secret Language Society no longer pay attention to their apprentices?"

Every time she heard this hoarse voice, she felt chill all over and trembled slightly uncontrollably.

A fear that originated from the depths of her soul arose, bit by biting her little courage.

"But the soul of a ritualist, the great master of flesh and blood, will definitely be interested."

Is what is coming finally coming?

This sentence completely put Edith in despair.

In the past two days, she had seen dozens of living people being made into sacrifices by the madman in front of her, struggling to beg for mercy in pain, and then died with extreme reluctance and fear.

Edith buried her head between her knees, held her fists tightly, prayed secretly in her heart, and even thought of committing suicide.

If you die, you may not have to suffer that extreme pain.

...

Meanwhile, the city center.

The fifth team followed Tiya. As soon as he returned to Shijiang Hall, he saw Ms. Kasan who was about to go out to find them.

Kassan's face was solemn at this moment, and his voice was a little low.

"Someone sent a letter here, and now I have only read it!"

She handed the letter to Tiya first.

After taking it, Tiya opened the letter and glanced at it, her expression also turned solemn.

The content in the letter seems very short, but it tells a serious fact.

Then, the letter paper was passed between Mike, Fry and Alder.

When Martin wanted to take the letter from Alder and see what it was, Alder hesitated for a moment and did not hand it to him, but looked at the captain and Tiya.

"Martin, you and Doriani are here in case there is any other situation. Don't participate in this action!"

Captain Mike said suddenly.

Tiya nodded, agreed with Mike's statement, and then quickly arranged the work.

"Ms. Kassan, please inform the Temple of the Craftsmen. Ald, go to the Temple to inform Father Stefan and ask him to bring the reserve team to come. Let's verify whether the information is true first!"

In less than a minute, only Martin and Doriani were left in Shijiang's hall.

Doriani sat in a daze, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Martin frowned and sat on the chair thinking about what the letter would be.

The captain and Tiya did not allow the two novices to participate, which means that there must be danger and it is not small.

Combining what happened in the past few days and the reactions you have seen on the paper just now, it is mostly related to the cult ritual they are pursuing.

Could it be that the whereabouts of the cultists were found?

That's probably it!

Doriani's ability is divination, which is completely auxiliary skill, and it is indeed not very helpful to combat.

But his [Spirit of Gaze] was at least a strong combat ability, but he was also kept.

Obviously, it was the captain and Tiya that was protecting them.

After all, they are novice in all senses and do not have enough experience in dealing with cultists.

Rather than taking them out for adventure, let them stay here.

Otherwise, once you encounter danger, you have to spend your energy to take care of them.

Thinking of this, Martin sat down with peace of mind and obediently obeyed the arrangement.

Since both experienced captains and Tiya think there is danger, it is better to believe them.

He took out the essay from the drawer and continued to read it.

But I am always uneasy and can't see it.

More than ten minutes later, Doriani, who was also reading a book, suddenly raised his head.

She first glanced at the pocket watch carefully, then looked up at Martin, and whispered:

"Well, didn't you say you needed divination before? You can use your abilities now."

Upon hearing this, Martin immediately put down the book and asked impatiently: "Then I'll trouble you, how do I need me to cooperate?"

Doriani replied softly: "It depends on what you want to divine, and how you want to divine."

"I just started and now I only know three types, namely Tarot card, Dream Entrance Method and Spiritual Mirror Divination."
