Chapter 298: One on Two
"Sorry to bother you~" Chen Xiao'er gently pushed open the door.
The sound of music from inside the door was so loud that it made people feel uneasy. If anyone lived downstairs from this organization, they would definitely bring their friends and the police to argue with them.
It's a bit strange. Shouldn't cults play some spiritual music for hypnosis in order to facilitate their preaching?
Chen Xiao'er suppressed the doubts in her heart and hurriedly took Xinnaya's hand and walked inside.
She tensed her body the moment she entered the room, on guard against attacks from the front, back, left, and right by professional assassins. However, as soon as she raised her head, the solemn expression on her face was immediately broken.
I saw several believers wearing casual T-shirts, with their jackets tied around their waists, jumping around on the dance mat with their bare legs.
The dance mat under their feet was probably an anime peripheral that had been moved from a warehouse. It had a magic circle in the style of Hyaku Sakura drawn on it, and in the middle was a plastic candle that kept playing "Happy Birthday to You~", which played loudly in harmony with the loud speakers in the room.
Around the dance mat stood a group of pale-faced people who looked as if they had been up all night.
They looked like a group of unlucky people who had been lured here by the Society of Hope for various reasons. They all watched the believers' dancing with their heads down.
The one who danced the hardest among this group of people was naturally the pyramid scheme leader who played the role of the cult leader.
He was wearing a high-end custom-made COS costume that could be sold for at least a thousand dollars, and he was doing Thomas turns on the ground while muttering to himself.
The man suddenly fell down as she entered the door, and his limbs began to tremble like Parkinson's.
Great acting…Are you playing a medium possessed by an evil spirit?
Although she had decided to play the role of a naive and curious baby who was wandering around everywhere, Chen Xiao'er couldn't help but reveal an awkward expression that made her laugh.
The group was probably sitting in a circle around the dance mat, but because some people left the group and came to dance on the mat, there was a noticeable gap in the middle of the circle.
Chen Xiao'er gave Xinnaya a wink, and without caring whether she understood it or not, she sat down at the gap first.
Xinnaya seemed to understand her hint of "Be quiet and observe your surroundings carefully" and sat down beside her with her legs crossed obediently.
Was Chen Xiao'e's meaning, "Watch my gestures before you act," or "You must leave me alive?" Xinnaya fell into deep thought, not immediately deploying her feeding domain, and her aura diminished considerably.
However, no one present noticed the devil hunter, and everyone's attention was focused on Chen Xiao'er.
The links constructed by the ritual were all interrupted by the intrusion of this black-haired girl - who is she?
My Lord, who is she?
The Archbishop questioned Despair in his heart. He didn't hold out much hope. After all, this great being didn't favor him and would give him little in return, only issuing orders based on his needs.
【"enemy"】
This time Despair gave a clear answer and at the same time issued a vague order.
"You can try to kill her."
What does this mean?
The bishop was stunned. From a human perspective, one could even discern a hint of irony in these words.
Did the Great Being want me to literally try to kill His enemy, or was He taunting me with "Can you kill her?"
The archbishop hesitated for a few seconds and decided to take it literally.
After all, this person is an enemy of the gods, and the orders given by the gods are usually very straightforward. If I can really kill her, it will definitely greatly please the great beings in the abyss.
Thinking of this, he showed Chen Xiao'er his signature loving expression.
Although the archbishop was young, he had honed this expression over many years. In the village he originally controlled, even the most irritable tribesmen would feel guilty or afraid because of this expression full of pity.
Attitude, gestures, and words have power, sometimes even greater than supernatural powers. Perhaps I can use this skill to kill this unimaginable enemy.
Chen Xiao'er sat on the edge of the dance mat, trying her best to blend into the atmosphere here.
As soon as she looked up, she saw the MLM leader smiling sweetly at her, and she couldn't help but shudder: Ah, his outfit is so typical.
The leader in front of him looked to be between 30 and 40 years old. He had delicate and fair skin and wore a pair of gentle gold-rimmed glasses.
The leader's appearance is quite decent, but not so outstanding as to cause inexplicable panic or hostility.
His beard was neatly trimmed, but his hair was deliberately styled into a naturally slightly curly mess, giving him the typical image of a cult leader in movies and TV dramas.
"My dear friend," the Archbishop said in a unique voice, tinged with the ethereal spirit of a singer. "In you, I sense a profound connection between you and our Lord. Now, let us begin the most important ritual of inspiration."
The archbishop's movements seemed relaxed, but he was actually paying attention to the position and status of everyone in the room.
Needless to say, the black-haired girl and the blonde girl who just entered the room were in a state of panic. The group of captives next to them were still tied up and unable to move rashly, but that kind of restraint was enforced by our Lord and could not last long.
After reviewing everyone's condition, the archbishop's heart sank. He thought he understood what the Lord had just said: He must have literally meant that he hoped I could solve it independently.
The girl before me must be a very precious and special enemy, which is why that great being deliberately used his own power to strengthen the restraints of more than a dozen sacrifices, allowing me to undergo this trial.
Click, click.
The last few captives, still engrossed in the afterglow of the illusion, also lost consciousness. They stopped dancing and lay silently on the ground, their chests rising and falling, as if they had fallen into a deep sleep.
Now there are only eight people left that he can use. Can they really deal with that black-haired woman?
“Her name is Chen Xiao’e.”
Despair revealed her power to the believer.
"Chen Xiao'er possesses an extremely special ability. You can understand it as being able to ignore any attacks with abnormal elements. Furthermore, only attacks she deems effective will have any effect on her. Consequently, she and those around her will also be affected, and can be treated as ordinary people."
Thanks for your pointers.
The archbishop actually noticed that the supernatural power in his body was now as calm as water and could not be mobilized at all.
The other party's ability is so strong, no wonder he can become the enemy of my lord.
The Archbishop was mediocre but not stupid.
Even though Despair did not mention power, Chen Xiao'er was able to become the enemy of God. Obviously, she was immune to the power of God. Could such a person still be called a human being?
Fortunately, this troublesome power is a double-edged sword, and the other party is also under the influence of a certain field.
He looked at the two women opposite him and grinned: There are nine of us here including me, and the advantage of nine to two is huge!
"Don't rely on those who are bound. Once you order them to attack Chen Xiao'er, the restraints could break at any moment."
It turns out that you can't... The archbishop put away his blasphemous thoughts and responded respectfully in his heart.
That's troublesome, I have to fight two people alone.
The archbishop was multitasking. On the one hand, he gently asked Chen Xiao'er and the people around her to hold hands and form a circle, while on the other hand, he was thinking about how to proceed.
The god's words could also be understood as meaning that as long as I didn't order others to attack the girl directly, He could control this group of people.
Now that we have all become ordinary people, that girl herself cannot threaten me.
The Archbishop could sense a tranquil and gentle aura from her, which easily made people relax physically and mentally, and believed that she was safe.
Judging from Chen Xiao'e's size and her arms which showed little signs of training, it would be difficult for the young woman to defeat a larger enemy.
I am just the opposite. I have been practicing ancient martial arts diligently since I was a child!
Those who succeeded the position of leader of a sect these days were either gifted with special abilities and a dedicated deity, or exceptionally charismatic and powerful. Most leaders possessed both.
The Desperate Archbishop's abilities weren't exceptional, but rather mediocre. Therefore, in order to maximize the effects of his alienated organs, he never slacked off in his martial arts training.
Even if he couldn't use the octopus tentacles he once had on his body, he was confident that he could completely control this girl who was full of flaws within a few moves.
But the blonde woman next to her was in the way.
When the archbishop shifted his gaze from Chen Xiao'er and looked carefully at the woman beside her, a strong sense of crisis suddenly burst out from his chest.
monster.
Desperate remained silent, as if the woman was insignificant. But the Archbishop instinctively sensed that this thing was not human at all.
It's a monster, a very powerful monster.
He had a strange premonition. If the black-haired girl hadn't been sitting there, the blonde woman would have transformed into an extremely powerful anomaly, devouring everything in sight!
Don’t, don’t be afraid!
The Archbishop controlled his body and managed to stand. "My opponent is just an ordinary person now. I can win."
Gurgle.
He looked at Xinaya's body which contained powerful explosive power and couldn't help swallowing.
No, this woman's physique is too exaggerated, isn't it? Look closely, it's all trained muscles. She could crack my skull in less than three punches.
We can't face the enemy head-on, we must use some means to get rid of her first.
Yes, he suddenly had an idea and silently called out for despair in his heart.
My Lord, what you mean is... Chen Xiao'er must be killed using a method approved by her, but that blonde woman won't be that troublesome, right?
"If she firmly believes someone is safe, then the world will still consider this attack ineffective."
What a terrifying ability!
The archbishop was almost in despair, but despair was not an option.
He gritted his teeth: Isn't it just that before doing something bad, Chen Xiao'er must see it first?
"Now let us feel the happiness and tranquility bestowed by the Lord..." The archbishop uttered the most gentle words, with a warm smile on his face.
He inched his way along the wall to the other side of the diagonal line, eventually getting behind Chen Xiao'er and the blonde woman. They had already held hands with the people next to them, and for the time being, they couldn't see him.
The Archbishop's gaze passed over the place where the ritual implements and special artifacts had been stored. He was delighted to find that although the objects had changed in appearance, their storage locations had remained the same.
He tiptoed to the box that had been turned into a storage cabinet, then gently opened the drawer and took out a small glass bottle.
The archbishop stroked the bottle excitedly, a hint of blue in his eyes: This man-made wonder has extremely terrible toxicity. As long as the active substance inside enters the body, even the behemoth of the abyss can be knocked down.
Of course, he didn't expect to use it to defeat the power holder.
The bishop's gaze passed over Chen Xiao'er and locked onto Xinnaya beside her - no matter how strong this woman was, she couldn't sink into the ground. Before she transformed, she was at most at the level of a behemoth.
He constructed a complete set of combo skills in his mind.
First, pour the poison in the glass bottle onto the handkerchief, then hold the handkerchief up and walk behind the blonde woman.
Then I would warn Chen Xiao'er, who was participating in the ceremony, and let her see me covering the blonde girl's mouth and nose. Then I would loudly tell her, "This is a handkerchief covered with poison!"
It's a rough plan, but it's worth a try. I don't have time to optimize it anyway.
The archbishop steeled himself, held the bottle and slowly poured the poison onto the handkerchief.
The originally highly active medicinal liquid had indeed lost its unique activity and flowed into the fibers of the handkerchief as coolly as ordinary ice water.
Whoosh.
The archbishop held his breath and tiptoed towards Xinaya's back.
