There were corpses lined up in the narrow corridor. If an ordinary person saw this horrific scene, he would probably be so scared that he couldn't sleep for days and nights.
Fortunately, both of them were martial artists and had seen everything. Although they felt terrified, they were able to bear it.
“This…this…” Hui Ge was speechless after seeing the scene before him. Hearing Hela’s question, he felt even more confused. “I bought the information on the black market.”
"What is the seller's appearance and identity?"
Hela stepped directly over the corpse, her high heels making a crunching sound.
"Black market transactions are always carried out by specialized intermediaries. Unless a request is made, buyers and sellers cannot see each other."
After a few seconds of silence, Huige slowly spoke.
He was no fool. With a little deduction, he understood what Hela meant. “Are you trying to say…?”
“What if the person who sold you the information was sent by Vidan?” Hela laughed bitterly before Huige could finish. “We’ve all been tricked. This is a dead end.”
If Weidan hadn't died, the nature of the whole incident would have been completely different.
He gave up running the company, sent his daughter to other countries, fabricated the illusion that he was murdered by someone, and used the Force Crystal left behind as bait to spread intelligence everywhere, thereby attracting many high-level martial artists who were eager to awaken.
"But if that's the case, why did Weidan kill so many martial artists?"
Huige was stunned for a few seconds and thought carefully, but he couldn't figure out this crucial question.
If Weidan is really so powerful that he can kill so many martial artists, but use such a long and complicated process, what is his purpose?
"Look at this."
Hela continued walking forward, looking left and right from time to time. Suddenly, her eyes fixed, and she pointed at the mural next to her and raised the old lamp over.
The structure of this stone painting is very rough, but it seems to be quite old and looks extremely ancient and antiquated.
The content of the painting above is very simple, with several human figures kneeling together in a circle. In the middle of them are piled up human figures lying down, which are peeled open from the middle. A totem pole is inserted in their heads, and around the totem, there are circles of strange patterns, surrounding the entire top.
"It looks like a totem civilization from thousands of years ago." Huige had some understanding of human history. After looking at it several times, he slowly said, "But I don't know what it means."
This kind of thing can generally only be understood by specialized scholars.
Hela glanced at Hui Ge calmly. "This is a ritual, perhaps a blood sacrifice, sacrificing a living being in exchange for something beyond the realm of possibility."
"Blood sacrifice?" Huige's doubts deepened. "Weidan sacrificed these martial artists to blood? What could he gain from it?"
This ritual sounds extremely ancient and evil, giving people a bad feeling.
“I don’t know his purpose.” Hela shook her head and said in a deep voice, “But the only thing I can be sure of is that he is definitely a Force user, and a Force user who is related to the dead.”
"If your speculation is true, then we... may not be able to get out."
There was panic in Huige's eyes, and he said this sentence with some difficulty.
If this is really the case, Weidan's strength is simply immeasurable. The two of them are not even seventh-level martial artists. How can they escape from a force user?
“Not necessarily. Since Vidan didn’t kill us personally, it means he may have some limitations.” Hela seemed accustomed to life and death, and her expression showed no fear. “But you should still prepare for the worst. We may indeed stay here forever, just like these people.”
After saying this, she pointed to the martial artists around her who had died long ago.
Huige nodded with a heavy heart, and did not continue speaking, but slowly moved deeper into the cave.
They didn't know how long they had been walking, but suddenly everything in front of them became clear. The corridor gradually became wider, and there were torches lighting the surroundings. Then, after walking for another ten minutes, a stone gate appeared directly in front of them.
But what startled them both was a petite figure squatting in front of the stone gate, playing with an old-fashioned mobile phone in the dim light with a look of concentration.
If they didn't have good eyesight, they might have ignored the little girl.
"drop--"
As the phone made a slight sound indicating low battery, Xu Xianxian's snake took over the entire screen and finally broke the previous record.
"Finally broke the record, it wasn't easy!"
Xu Xianxian stood up, stretched herself, and let out a sigh of satisfaction.
However, her breath was not colorless and transparent, but had a dark red color. It fell on the stone gate and immediately corroded a tiny gap.
After reaching the seventh level of martial arts, she had never used her full strength, so she couldn't judge the power she possessed. But now, every move she made, even the breath she exhaled, could injure people without being noticed.
"Hehe!" Xu Xianxian put the phone into her pocket with a look of darling, rubbed her soft little hands, turned to look at the two people behind her, and said with a smile: "Two more people are here to die."
Her sweet, baby-like voice sounded indescribably strange at this moment, especially with the tattered dress and blood-red pupils.
In the eyes of Hela and Huigo, the little girl in front of them had pale skin, ink-black hair, bright red lips, and an exquisite and pure appearance. She looked like a clockwork puppet instead of a real person.
“Who are you…?” Hela sensed the scent of death from the little girl and took two steps back. “Did you cause all this?”
In this place full of dead bodies, seeing such a weird little girl playing mobile games so comfortably, anyone would think she is the murderer.
"No...it shouldn't be her..." Before Xu Xianxian could answer, Hui Ge next to her suddenly said, "I've seen her. She's a minor who ran a red light, just like you."
"...Wow, I've heard that twice!" Xu Xianxian frowned, looked at Hui Ge carefully, and whispered, "But you should be a real person."
The Hela and Huigo we met before were illusions created by resentment, but now these two people have powerful blood and energy, so they should be real people.
"What real person?"
Huige looked puzzled.
Xu Xianxian didn't bother to answer the question. Instead, she looked at Hela and said, "Do you want to go in? My intuition tells me that there is a threat of death inside this stone door, so I'll wait and see for a few people to go in and die first. An old monk went in before, and there's no movement yet!"
She was not in a hurry to go in now. After all, the power of resentment was still increasing. With every additional attribute, her chance of survival would be greater.
