Chapter 375 A Huge Sacrifice

The base of the God Worshipping Cult in Yuncheng was destroyed, but the Black and White Impermanence, who were the agents of the branch cult, did not despair. On the contrary, they were very excited.

Why did the higher-ups give them such a mission? To come to Cloud City to summon the Nian Beast?

The Nian Beast is a legendary evil beast, neither a demon nor a monster. Its power comes from people's fear, despair and other negative emotions (probably something the cult imagined).

In a sense, the Nian Beast can actually be called an alternative god of faith.

Because its strength depends entirely on the amount of "negative emotions" it can absorb.

The God Worshipping Cult has long known that incense is poisonous. In today's Daxia, the positive emotions from incense have long been planned as food for the incense gods that the residents 'domesticate', but the negative ones have never been well utilized.

This gave the God-worshipping Cult an opportunity to take advantage. After all, no matter how devout their followers were, their numbers were too small. Even if they were able to worship a certain god, he would not be very powerful.

And this is when negative public opinion comes into play.

Therefore, most of the gods worshipped by the God-worshipping religions are evil gods.

This time, the Nian beast is one of them.

According to custom, they would search for everything related to the legendary Nian Beast as ritual materials, and through their bug-like beliefs, summon it from the ancient legend. Afterwards, the Nian Beast would absorb the negative public thoughts accumulated by Daxia, grow rapidly, and show the world what the true legendary god is with an absolutely ferocious and powerful attitude.

However, among the materials for summoning the Nian Beast, there is a core ingredient that the God Worshipping Cult has no clue about.

The legendary monster Nian only appears on the night of New Year’s Eve every year, which is when the old year turns to the new year.

The name of the beast Nian came from this, and its real name should be "Xi".

It only appears at a specific time and possesses extremely powerful power. According to legend, no one has ever been able to find the New Year Beast at a time other than New Year's Eve, so the Cult believes that this evil beast should still possess some of the power of time.

In other words, the core material of the ritual, the carrier used to carry the Nian beast to its descent, must possess the power of time.

Over the years, the Cult of the Gods has not been able to successfully summon the Nian Beast even once, because they could not find the 'carrier of the power of time'.

The reason why the top leaders of the God Worshipping Cult assigned such a mission to the Yuncheng branch was that they received a piece of information from somewhere.

The 'Bearer of the Power of Time' will appear in Cloud City...

It may seem a bit irrational for a city branch to risk being exposed and make an attempt based on a piece of news that is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

But don't forget, they are a sect, a sect that can only survive in the cracks.

Just having news is enough.

Anyway, they usually perform various sacrifices to summon the legendary evil gods, and it doesn't matter who they summon. The mission of the Cloud City branch is just a move for the sect's top leaders, but now, the "core material" has actually appeared...

Therefore, even if the Black and White Impermanence were caught, the first thing they thought about was not how to escape, but how to pass on the message.

The Black and White Impermanence, whose masks had been removed and who were handcuffed with special rune handcuffs, looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes.

“Uh uh uh!

”

During the escort, Hei Wuchang's eyes suddenly rolled back, his body began to twitch wildly, and a lot of white foam came out of his mouth.

"Brother Hei!" Bai Wuchang was panicked: "What's wrong with you, Brother Hei! Are you sick again? Where are your medicines? Take them quickly!"

Hei Wuchang was still twitching.

Bai Wuchang quickly pleaded with the law enforcement officers who were escorting them, "I know that the crimes we committed are unforgivable, but Brother Hei is ill now. You may not know that he has congenital epilepsy since he was a child..."

A law enforcement officer took a look at the information in his hand and asked in confusion: "Li Erdan, what are you doing? We have all your information from childhood to adulthood. Why are you pretending to have congenital epilepsy?"

Bai Wuchang's expression froze.

'Li Erdan' is the title of Hei Wuchang's book.

What Bai Wuchang didn't expect was that they had just been arrested and their normal identities were completely exposed not long after they were unmasked.

The trick of pretending to be sick seems...

Upon hearing this, Li Erdan became furious and directly mobilized the spiritual power in his body, breaking several meridians in his body.

For a moment, Li Erdan's breath became disordered, his face turned pale, and he even spurted out a mouthful of blood, his face as pale as gold paper.

The accompanying law enforcement officers' faces changed.

A law enforcement officer who had learned some Chinese medicine quickly stepped forward and grabbed Li Erdan's wrist.

Li Erdan felt relieved. He cut several of his meridians. If he used special instruments to check, he would definitely be able to find out the problem. But if he just took his pulse, he was confident that no matter who took his pulse, they would only come to the conclusion that "this person is seriously ill"!

And it doesn't matter even if it is checked by professional instruments.

As a professional sectarian, he had rehearsed similar situations countless times.

His injuries seemed serious, but in fact they would not last too long. With the special skills he practiced, the broken meridians would heal themselves in a very short time.

By the time he is formally examined with specialized instruments, he will be back to normal.

At that time, he only needs to insist that this is just a hidden illness of his own, a hidden injury left over from his early years of practice, and that it cannot be cured.

He even said with tears in his eyes: "If I didn't have a hidden disease that prevented me from doing a normal job, how could I have joined a sect to earn money to support my family?

This society is full of discrimination against people like me with special diseases. Even if I were to be reincarnated as a zombie, I would only be an inferior zombie.

I became a sectarian because I had no choice!"

Thinking of this, Li Erdan couldn't help feeling proud.

If he handles it well, he might even get a certain degree of leniency during the interrogation stage!

He was well aware that the sect was illegal, so he had already considered what would happen if he was exposed.

The above rhetoric, after being perfected countless times by him, has become impeccable...at least that's what he thinks.

And now is the time to use this rhetoric.

He had a good idea. If everything went well, he would be able to use the backup plan he had prepared long ago to spread the news that the "carrier of the power of time" had appeared.

Then, he strives for lenient treatment by explaining his "unspeakable secrets" and his good behavior during his sentence.

Finally, he can "reform his past" and "turn over a new leaf", and it is even possible that he can infiltrate the Judicial Department and become a positive example of "abandoning darkness and joining the light"!

Those leaders like him for this kind of thing.

The God Worshipping Cult will also promote him because of his outstanding contribution...

Wouldn't it be great to get double salary then?

As he thought about it, Hei Wuchang began to drift away.

He was already immersed in the perfect future he had built for himself.

"What's the matter? Is there any problem?" the law enforcement officers asked quickly.

The 'intern Chinese medicine practitioner' felt Li Erdan's strange pulse that appeared and disappeared from time to time, as well as the strange and strong vitality hidden under the pulse, and his expression became extremely strange.

"The pulse is intermittent, and it is true that he is seriously ill, but..."

Li Erdan was still feeling proud, but suddenly when he heard the word "but", he felt a little puzzled.

But in this situation, it was not his turn to ask anything.

Fortunately, Bai Wuchang's reaction was not slow, and he asked anxiously: "But what? Is Brother Hei okay?"

"How can I put it..." The 'intern Chinese medicine practitioner' had a tangled look on his face. He looked at Li Erdan, then looked around, and finally sighed.

"Li Erdan, although this may be a little inappropriate, I still want to congratulate you."

"Um?"

Everyone was stunned.

Even Li Erdan, who was showing off his acting skills, couldn't help but prick up his ears. He was very confused as to why this guy was congratulating him.

Could it be that he could take my pulse and know what I was thinking through the pulse?

The trainee Chinese doctor took a deep breath and said, "You are pregnant. Although you can't see it from the outside, judging from your pulse, the day of pregnancy is not far away."

Li Erdan: “???”

He couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood.

What the hell! I am a man!

Everyone was stunned. Bai Wuchang asked blankly, "No, Brother Hei is a man! I took a bath with him. I saw it with my own eyes! I even touched him!"

The people around him looked strange.

It’s fine if two men are taking a shower together, but why are you touching him?!

The trainee Chinese doctor said seriously: "Medicine is serious, the pulse cannot be false, this is the pulse of pregnancy, he is pregnant!

I have never felt such a strong pregnancy pulse. Li Erdan's child is very healthy."

Li Erdan: “…”

He could never have imagined that his act of severing his own meridians and then quickly healing himself through secret methods would actually be identified as a pregnancy pulse...

Li Erdan had a toothache, but now that things had come to this, he could only say to the devastated Bai Wuchang with a weak face: "I'm sorry, Brother Bai, I kept it a secret from you for so long. In fact, there was a big problem with the technique I was practicing, but I didn't understand it before. By the time I discovered the problem, it was too late...

Because of this technique, the yin and yang in my body are mixed up, and most of the time my gender is mixed up. I have been carefully hiding it, but I didn’t expect it to be exposed...”

Bai Wuchang trembled and said, "We have been in the sect for three years. We are as close as brothers. We have always been together and even slept in the same bed. Whose child is this?"

Li Erdan was silent.

How does he know whose child it is!

He doesn't even have any children!

But it has come to this point, and I can only grit my teeth and continue acting.

He had already made such a great sacrifice. If he still couldn't pass on the news, he would not be able to stay in the God Worshipping Church anymore. Even his normal life would be affected. If a man got pregnant, people would definitely gossip about him...

It was Li Erdan's silence that made Bai Wuchang panic.

"I was wondering why you sleep so badly, often crawling on top of me in the middle of the night. Turns out, turns out..."

Bai Wuchang's heart is bleeding.

"I treated you as a brother, and you treated me like this!

!”

Li Erdan's heart was also bleeding.

He doesn't want to either!

Who knew that his pulse would be felt as a sign of pregnancy?

He doesn’t understand Chinese medicine!

The expressions of the sect members who followed behind him and were arrested were also very strange. Li Erdan even heard someone whispering, saying that besides the other Lord God's Messenger, he was also close to whom...

Li Erdan was extremely upset. His reputation within the sect was completely ruined.

However, as long as the message can be delivered, it is all worth it, even though the sacrifice is a bit great...

Bai Wuchang's expression collapsed.

He was not a fool, but the incident happened suddenly and was completely different from the several emergency plans they had rehearsed countless times before. In addition, the "trainee Chinese medicine practitioner" provided serious evidence... Bai Wuchang was panic-stricken and had no way to calm down and think about the key points.

Bai Wuchang's mind is now full of the "intimate actions" that took place between the two of them earlier.

Originally, Bai Wuchang didn't think there was anything wrong, as it was just a normal interaction, but now... he can no longer face that experience.

Li Erdan suppressed his anger and said, "My Lords, I am a little dizzy. Can we go down and walk for a while?"

The law enforcers hesitated.

Hu Wang was not sure what the situation was.

It seemed that his life became strange after Ji Ruo appeared again.

In just one day, the three perspectives he had built up over the past twenty years had already suffered a severe shock and were on the verge of collapse.

He couldn't help but whisper to the 'intern Chinese medicine doctor': "Are you sure? Is this really a pregnancy pulse?"

The trainee Chinese medicine practitioner nodded seriously and said firmly, "Yes! Director, that is the pulse of happiness. Please believe me, I am a professional!"

"Okay..." Hu Wang opened his mouth and said, "Let's go down and take a walk. It will also be a good opportunity for people to see these arrested sect members..."

Li Erdan got what he wanted. The moment he landed, he activated the secret method and triggered the backup plan he had prepared long ago, and delivered the message through some means.

Then, listening to the whispers of his former compatriots behind him, Li Erdan burst into tears.

His sacrifice was truly too great!

…………

On the other hand, Liang Shixian did not stay at home for long after dinner and went out to look for Ji Ruo.

Liang's father and mother also knew that Liang Shixian was looking for a plan for something important, so they didn't say much.

The two elders just asked Liang Shijing to come along because they wanted to take this opportunity to help the two children improve their relationship a little.

"Xiao Jing, how old are you this year?" Liang Shixian had no experience getting along with his sister and was dumbfounded trying to make small talk.

"Don't call me Xiao Jing!" Liang Shijing said angrily, "Also, who would ask a girl about her age right away? Don't you know that this is a personal privacy?"

"Oh this..." Liang Shixian scratched his head, "Sorry, sorry, I really don't know this."

"Humph! Straight man!"

Liang Shixian: “…”

After a pause, Liang Shixian recalled what Liang Yong had whispered to him before he left the house, and said, "Xiao Jing, I'm sorry. It's because of my sudden disappearance that your childhood was so miserable... But don't worry, we'll go back after Ji Ruo finishes his business... When I go back to 20 years ago, I will definitely compensate you and not force you to watch "Armor Hero" so many times..."

"It's all happened in the past, what's the point of talking about it now?" Liang Shijing sneered, "Even if what you said is true, will it have any impact on me?

Growing up, my only memory of you is the movie "Armor Hero" and the photos my parents kept. Even if you could really go back in time, the impact you have had on me now is already a fact! How can you change it! How can you compensate me! "

Liang Shixian was silent.

Yes, how can we change it? How can we make up for the lost twenty years?

Seeing this, Liang Shijing continued to mock, "Besides, even if you go back 20 years, you won't be able to find me."

Liang Shixian was stunned when he heard this: "Why?"

"Because twenty years ago, there was no me!" Liang Shijing took out his ID card: "Look, I'm sixteen years old!"
