Of course, I understand but I don’t care.

He paused and said, "Well, let's officially begin now. You should be a smart man, right? Let's not waste each other's time, okay? Well, the first question... I heard that you have a big move recently, can you tell me more about it?"

Qin Jinnian asked the first question.

The red-robed man came back to his senses, and the sinister face under the mask changed several times, but in the end, he still showed some reluctance and stubbornness: "Kill me if you want. Do you think I will tell you?"

Qin Jinnian sighed: "You really make it difficult for me."

The man in red robe wanted to say something, but the next moment, his expression suddenly changed drastically and an unbearable scream came out of his mouth.

The black shadow wrapped around him extended a large number of tiny black thorns as small as cow thorns, which penetrated into his body and extended under the epidermis of his skin. In the blink of an eye, a large number of black lines appeared on his face.

This was an extremely sharp pain. These black shadows pierced directly into the ends of his nerves. The unprecedented severe pain made his brain go blank for a moment, and he had the illusion that his soul was ascending to heaven.

However, it wasn't enough to make him pass out, the pain in every inch of his body was so real and intense.

“Ah, ah!!!”

He screamed miserably, his whole body seemed to be in spasm, as if cramping. In just a short while, his face was covered with spider-web-like black lines, and saliva, snot, and tears flowed uncontrollably from his hideous features...

Under the altar, the Nightblood Cultists who were also tied up all looked at the scene on the platform with pale faces, feeling unprecedented fear...

This is Lord Night Ghost.

In their minds, it is synonymous with power and terror!

At this moment, unexpectedly, unexpectedly...

The expressions of the believers changed one by one, and panic and anxiety appeared in their eyes.

Zhang San was hanging in the air, smiling and saying, "If you want to answer my question, just tell me, but you'd better make a decision quickly. I don't think you have the power of the End Cultists. If this goes on for a long time, I'm afraid your nerves will be completely destroyed, and you won't be able to say anything when you want to."

The red-robed man screamed miserably, about ten seconds later...

"Ah! Say it, I, I say it!..."

He couldn't resist it after all.

Because this kind of severe pain is really not something a normal human can endure.

If he had divine blood in his body, this damage could be repaired.

But now, he is just an ordinary person. Even if he is a person with special abilities, his recovery ability is obviously not as good as that of a person with divine blood.

As soon as he finished his words, the black thorn retracted, his whole body convulsed, and after a scream, he gasped wildly, his eyeballs were covered with bloodshot... He felt that his body was no longer his own. Although the pain was not as severe, the damage had already been done.

Endless despair emerged in his heart, and he realized that his life might really come to an end today.

The only difference is... whether you die happily or miserably.

Before this, he would not have had the slightest fear of death, because God existed and He promised him that the death of his human body would be the beginning of his new life.

But now, now that God seemed to have abandoned them...for the first time, a strong desire for life emerged in his heart.

He doesn't want to die!

"Promise me you won't kill me, and I'll tell you everything!"

He panted heavily, raised his head, looked at Zhang San in the air and spoke. But he couldn't bring himself to beg, instead it seemed as if he was negotiating terms.

"There are nearly tens of thousands of women and children under this altar, right?" Zhang San asked, "Did they beg you before they died? Did you let them go?"

The man in red robe trembled violently and was silent for a while.

Zhang San said calmly, "Have you thought it through? Do you want to answer or do you want me to continue?"

After a long time, the trembling voice of the man in red robe even had a sobbing tone: "I, I know I was wrong. Please, please... ah!!!"

Before he could finish begging, severe pain swept through his body again and he screamed miserably again.

"I'm telling you, I'm telling you!! I just want you to be happy, happy!!!"

He finally faced reality.

The severe pain subsided, and his breathing became heavier. It seemed as if his body was no longer his own, and he was helplessly bound by the black shadow.

"Um?"

Zhang San waited for a moment, then nodded.

He reacted with a start, then bit his lip and said hoarsely: "I don't know."

"Don't know?" Zhang San narrowed his eyes.

"I really don't know!"

Hearing this tone, the red-robed man immediately became anxious. He was afraid that the other party would torture him again, so he said hastily: "You can see that we have lost the divine blood, because we, our gods... No, that's not right, it's the 'Quink Tribe' of the Abyss, who lost contact with us for some unknown reason. We, can't contact them."

At first he was still talking about God, but as he spoke, resentment appeared in his eyes. He no longer called the other party God, but called him the 'Quink Tribe'.

The Kunke people are the race whose gods they believe in.

Similar to the 'Mara tribe' believed in by the End.

"Oh? What happened?"

Qin Jinnian had felt that the situation of the Nightblood Cult was a little strange just now. Now it seemed that their "God" had abandoned them? This aroused his interest.

The man in red gritted his teeth and immediately told the whole story without trying to hide anything.

Qin Jinnian was also a little surprised after hearing this, but after thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out.

After thinking about it for a while, I simply put this question behind me...it seemed to have nothing to do with him anyway.

"So, since you can't contact the so-called 'Quinke Tribe', you don't know what specific 'big things' you are going to do? Then why do you want to slander me?"

"Because of this matter, no one else can know..."

The red-robed man had given up hope and simply told everyone everything that was going on inside the evil church.

In order to avoid being destroyed by other evil churches, they could only pretend to have received the "oracle".

When Zhang San heard that Hongpao knew some of the secrets of the Vacuum and the Church of the End, his eyes lit up slightly: "Tell me in detail, which evil churches are there in Canglan City at present? The more specific the better."

The man in red robe raised his head and glanced at Zhang San. After being silent for a long while, he finally spoke honestly.

"There are currently five churches active in Canglan City. In addition to us, there are the End Church, the Vacuum Church, the Blood Rose Church, and the Devil's Hand... The End Church and the Vacuum Church both have bases in Canglan City and have been operating for many years. The Blood Rose and the Devil's Hand are not mainly active in Canglan City, but in Yefeng City and Diexi City... Not many people from these two churches came this time, and it is said that they are cooperating together. But for more details... I didn't dare to ask more. Because their cooperation should be a collaboration at the level of the Abyss, and it was also notified through the means of the 'Oracle'. If I ask too much, it will easily expose the fact that we can no longer contact the Abyss."

"I only know that Blood Rose and Devil's Hand each sent a red priest... but they never showed up. I don't know their whereabouts."

Yefeng City and Diexi City, these two cities are still far away from Canglan. Qin Jinnian also knows them... although he has never been there.

Then he noticed something unusual.

"Isn't that right? Since the Abyss races behind you can communicate with each other and even join forces to deal with the Earth, it means that they are connected to each other. The fact that you, the Nightbloods, were abandoned by the Abyss race should not be hidden from other Abyss races, right? If they are in contact, then why didn't other Abyss races tell their believers about your abandonment? If they are not in contact, then how could their believers find you?"

Qin Jinnian asked with some confusion.

Hongpao had obviously thought about this matter as well... after all, it was related to his own family's wealth.

But in the end, he couldn't come up with an answer.

"I, I don't know either."

There was confusion in his eyes.

As a fanatic, being abandoned by one's own 'God' is quite a blow.

Qin Jinnian raised his eyebrows, then shook his head after a moment.

Forget it. He couldn't do anything about the abyss for now anyway. If he couldn't figure it out, he would just change the subject.

"Okay, let's not talk about this... You said that Zhongyan and Zhenkong both have bases in Canglan City? Where are the bases?"

This is the key.

If I can find their base... then my revenge this time will be perfect.

The red-robed man obviously hesitated for a while, but finally said: "Outside the Iron Dome... The base of the End is deep in Ruins No. 1. The vacuum is deep in Ruins No. 3."

Qin Jinnian raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"yes."

"There are so many monsters in the ruins, aren't they afraid?"

"They have divine blood bestowed by the Abyss race... The monsters will regard them as their own kind."

"Oh? So... you Nightbloods don't have a base?"

“…”

The red robe was silent for a while, and after a long while, his eyes dimmed and he said, “Yes, we were in Ruins No. 5 before. But… that day the divine blood disappeared, and the monsters around the headquarters suddenly launched a surprise attack on us… Everyone in the ruins at that time died.”

Zhang San was stunned. Because they had divine blood, the monsters in the ruins treated them as their own kind.

But Yexue lost his divine blood... and was eaten by the monster?

It really is...

You deserve it.

He was not sympathetic at all.

In his field of vision, there was not only the other person's gloomy face... but also the corpses of thousands of women and children at his feet!

The despair and pain they expressed before death were still frozen on their faces, telling of their miserable experiences before death.

Sympathize with them?

It's better to sympathize with a dog.

"So, you know quite a bit about the ruins?"

Zhang San's question made Hongpao stunned. After a moment of silence, he said, "The ruins are a silhouette of the shadow world... On the night of the blood moon, the shallow abyss will briefly overlap with the earth. During this process, the abyss will 'copy' the topography of the earth and form a 'shadow layer'. The main activity area of ​​the weirds is in this layer."

"This interlayer is usually temporary. As the blood moon fades and the abyss moves away, these gaps will also disappear. But in the areas with the heaviest aura of the abyss... these areas will be solidified. These solidified fragmented worlds will become the current black markets, ruins, and other places."

"But unlike the black market, the black market can only be considered a 'temporary' solidified area. As the blood moon fades, the abyss aura is constantly dispersing... This will cause the black market space to be unstable and even get smaller and smaller. This is also the reason why the black market portal is not fixed. If you want to stabilize the 'black market', you must constantly inject the abyss aura into it... This is the origin of the road guide."

"And the ruins are completely stable shadow fragments. They can exist for a long time without the injection of 'Abyss Breath'... because, inside the ruins, there is a stable source of 'Abyss Breath' that provides the ruins with it."

Hongpao not only did not give a perfunctory answer, but also explained the origin of the ruins in detail.

Not only the ruins, but even the origin of the black market was revealed.

And when it was mentioned that there was a stable source of 'abyss breath' inside the 'ruins', he showed surprise.

"So, the rumor that the ruins connect to the shallow layer of the abyss... is it true?"

Unexpectedly, the red robe shook his head.

"No. It's not connected to the abyss... The abyss is vast and boundless, and the Earth is just a drop in the ocean compared to it. If it really connects to the abyss... even if it's just the shallow layer, within a day, it will be enough for the entire Earth to become part of the abyss."

"The source I'm talking about is that kind of thing... that contains a huge amount of abyssal energy. Maybe it's a plant, maybe it's a piece of ore... I'm not sure about the details. But such a thing definitely exists."

After hearing this, Qin Jinnian suddenly understood.

So that’s how it is…

"You haven't looked for it? It is said that such things should be treasures for the Abyss race, right?"

Maintaining the existence of a huge relic, and the abyss breath that has been permeating for many years has never withered... Although I don't know if it is of any use to the abyss race, I think it is useful. That's why Qin Jinnian asked this question.

"Of course it's a treasure, so the previous gods... the Kunke tribe kept asking us to look for it. But it's hard to find. And even if we find it, it's useless... The closer we get to that thing, the stronger the monsters that gather around it will be, and it may even give birth to an entire race... That race only recognizes 'that thing', and any other creatures that dare to get close will be killed by them. We have found the location of the thing in Ruins No. 5. At that time, a true god personally led hundreds of believers who were endowed with divine blood. As a result, they were wiped out in one encounter... The true god fell directly. Later, there was no further investigation."

Hongpao's words reminded Qin Jinnian of the bats in Ruins No. 4...

So, those bats are the species that was spawned by that thing?

Thinking of the terrifying bat, his eyes became solemn, and he began to understand how terrifying that thing was...

"Besides that thing, is there anything else that emits golden light when attacking?"

Qin Jinnian thought about it and asked another question.

The golden light of Ruins No. 6 also made it a little difficult for him to let go.

"Golden light?"

The red-robed man was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly shook his head and said, "I don't know... at least I haven't seen it."

Qin Jinnian thought about it and nodded.

After asking a few more questions, he said, "Anything else you want to say?"

Hearing this, the red-robed man's body trembled violently. He moved his mouth and finally said in a hoarse voice, "Really, you can't spare my life? I, I still know a lot of information. If you want to take revenge on the evil church, I, I can be of use."

Qin Jinnian just looked at him and shook his head calmly.

The red-robed man's eyes showed despair. In the end, he murmured, "I, I just want to live better in this dangerous world. I, I just want to live..."

"It looks like you have nothing else to say. Goodbye, then."

Zhang San said this calmly and clenched his right fist.

The next moment, all the dark shadows that were binding the Nightblood Cultists suddenly tightened.

Thousands of believers finally reacted and realized that they were going to die, and they all panicked.

“No! No!!”

"Please, spare us!"

"My God! My God!!!"

But the next moment.

Puff puff puff!!

Blood spurted out of their mouths as the black shadow crushed their bodies. They died one after another in despair.

The man in red robe also spat out a mouthful of blood, and the shadow thorn between his eyebrows pierced through his head.

His eyes widened, and he lost consciousness in despair...

"You just want to live, but what about the others you killed? How can I be fair to them if I spare you?"

Qin Jinnian looked at the red-robed corpse without any emotion in his eyes.

He didn't consider himself a hero, but at least he was still a human being.

The crimes of the Nightblood Cult are too numerous to list. How could he let the Red Robe go just because he was submissive to him under pressure from the situation?

As for dealing with the evil church, he now has enough clues and no longer needs the red robe.

Thousands of believers turned into thousands of corpses in an instant.

Qin Jinnian took a quick look and made sure that there were no survivors, then the shadow slowly shrank back.

Finally, he lowered his head and looked at the only living person in the field...

That girl.

The moment Qin Jinnian's eyes swept over her, he found that the girl's whole body trembled.

She fell down among several corpses in white robes and looked at Qin Jinnian with a bit of fear and uneasiness.

After thinking for a while, Qin Jinnian said, "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person... What's your name?"

He spoke to the other person for the first time.

The girl was stunned for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, she pulled off the white cloth that was blocking her mouth and stammered, "My name is Bai Yichan... Thank you, thank you for saving me!"

Her voice is clear and pleasant, just like her appearance, which makes people feel refreshed when they hear it.
