Chapter 255: White Orchid Rain Festival (Thirty-Seven)
People cheered loudly, as if they had not experienced such an occasion for a long time.
The evil god stood at the highest point and looked at the believers below. She could see the black lines spreading from their bodies and could hear their inner prayers.
"Pray for the evil god to come and bless the world..."
The Gambler's Guild President and the Miaojiang Guild President mixed in the crowd and knelt down with the crowd, muttering these words that sounded like brainwashing while looking at the altar not far away.
"What is the probability that this side quest is related to the evil god?" Miao Jiang President touched the Gambler President's arm. "And how credible do you think these rumors and stories are?"
They were already confident of victory. After all, they had witnessed the power of the black lotus. Plus, the president and the eldest lady had not recovered their memories yet, so there was no suspense in this side quest.
Only then did President Miaojiang turn his attention to the content of this side quest. Because the sacrifice has a fixed time point, although it is unclear how much of the time they spent here accounted for in the copy time, the two of them spent a solid day here and learned some stories about Jiusheng and the evil god.
If it was just a general setting framework, there shouldn't be such a seamless background, so Miao Jiang always felt something was wrong.
"It's mentioned in the mission description that everything that happened here, at least what happened to the young lady and the first president, is the opposite of what really happened," the Gambler's Guild President kept looking in a certain direction on the altar, and seemed a little absent-minded when talking to Miao Jiang, "But it's not ruled out that it also wanted to get a scene like this at the time, but unfortunately it failed, so we have this copy, and now the two of us are here..."
"What's going on here?"
Miao Jiang tried to understand what she said, but she stopped talking halfway and asked, "Where have you been looking since just now?"
Miao Jiang also stretched his neck to look at the altar, "Didn't they say that those tied up in the back are all dragons? And the dragon lord or something? Why are you so excited? Be careful or you'll be discovered."
She reached out and pulled the Gambler's Guild President back. After all, everyone was kneeling and reciting prayers, and if they moved too much, it would attract attention.
Now it has come to the final moment, it is best not to give any provocation to the president and the eldest lady. This is the countermeasure they discussed last night.
They would hide in the crowd, and if anything went wrong, they would just stay on the black lotus. They just needed to stay still and not let the eldest lady and the first guild leader notice anything was wrong, so that the other party could kill the dragon clan members smoothly. So she didn't understand why the gambler guild leader was suddenly so excited.
"I seem to see..."
The Gambler's Guild President stopped talking halfway, and then seemed to come to his senses. He bent down according to Miao Jiang's strength and said, "Take a look at the Dragon Lord's appearance..."
In fact, he noticed from the very beginning that the so-called dragon lord on the altar was not the virtual black dragon he had seen in the pawn ticket before, but was transformed into a human form.
But because they were some distance away and the other party seemed to be injured and kept his head down, the Gambler's Guild President did not notice anything wrong.
It was not until he looked at him from this distance just now and the other party happened to raise his head that he realized that the profile of the so-called Dragon Lord was almost exactly the same as the one he had just seen.
"Hurry, be gentle, don't draw attention."
The Gambler's Guild President was not sure, so he had to whisper to the Miao Jiang Guild President to confirm. The latter did not understand why he suddenly became interested in the Dragon Lord, but still took a quick glance at him when no one around was paying attention.
Then, a voice even more surprised than the Gambler's President burst out, "Isn't that President Yi? Am I dazzled? They look exactly the same?"
Her voice suddenly rose, then suddenly dropped, and the air squeezed out of her throat made the sound a little strange.
"What's going on? Is this a hint from the system? Isn't this a clear hint to them? Wouldn't it make them confused or remind them of something when they see that face? Should we take action?"
The cooked duck has not flown away yet, but there are signs that it is about to fly. President Miaojiang was a little incoherent for a moment, and his thoughts suddenly jumped to whether he and President Gambler should directly deal with this so-called Dragon Lord, or find a hidden place first and think of a way to get the black lotus out and let it work harder.
"Calm down," the gambler's guild leader couldn't stand her noise. He thought that the guild leader had a bad mental state or suffered from PTSD from being abused by the eldest lady and the first guild leader. In short, he always overreacted when encountering such things. "Have you forgotten what we heard Jiusheng, the eldest lady, say outside the evil god's temple yesterday?"
"They should have met yesterday. Although the young lady hesitated, she didn't think about it, so this little stimulation should be okay."
What's strange about the Gambler's Association President is actually another thing.
Because in the current situation, the sudden appearance of a Dragon Lord who looks exactly like the President is really unreasonable. If this is a prompt from the system, then there shouldn't be only the President with a familiar face. They and the eldest lady haven't seen their own faces.
If the game has been unbalanced at this point because of the intervention of the evil god, then a face that looks exactly like President I shouldn't appear.
If it is to make up for the unfairness brought about by the intervention of the evil god, then why is there no face that looks like the eldest lady?
The Gambler's Guild President has entered so many copies, and he never believes that there are any coincidences in the copies. Either there are some clues that he has not discovered yet, or this is a hint given by the system. As for what this hint is, the Gambler's Guild President cannot figure it out for the time being.
Fortunately, after listening to his words, President Miao Jiang finally calmed down a little, but he was still a little worried.
"Is the black lotus in your hand still motionless? Do we need to get closer? Is it relying on induction, or something else..."
The Gambler's Guild President ignored what the other party said. After all, he had been trying from yesterday to today to communicate with the black lotus in his body and even make it appear. But unfortunately, this kind of communication and its appearance seemed to be one-sided, and the Gambler's Guild President could not influence it at all.
At this time, Jiusheng on the altar was standing next to the wooden statue of the evil god, shoulder to shoulder with the other party, looking at the devout believers below.
I have clearly been waiting for this day for a long time. In just a little while, all beings will be proud to believe in the evil god. They will build a brand new world, and the evil god will have a warm body.
Everything was what she had been looking forward to for a long time and was about to come true, but why didn't she feel happy? Instead, she had a bitter feeling in her heart.
But she realized belatedly that the source of this bitterness was the existence on the altar called the Dragon Lord.
She had clearly only met her once and they had never even talked, but why did the frown on her face seem familiar to her? Why did the sight of her being accidentally injured make her feel inexplicably distressed?
These dragons should have been dealt with yesterday, but due to the heartache for unknown reasons, it was postponed to today.
"The auspicious time has arrived..."
The elongated tone made the voice of joy seem sad.
Jiusheng had a torch in his hand, the crowd was shouting, the power of faith was gathering, Jiusheng could feel the evil god's power growing, and at the same time he could feel the other party's expectations.
"Wait for me, everything will be as we wish soon."
She pressed her forehead against the evil god, whispered this promise, then held up a torch and walked resolutely towards the sacrifices.
Nothing is more important than the coming of the evil god. Those are all illusions, she told herself in her heart with every step she took.
The other party did not receive any medical treatment for his injuries.
That's true. After all, she will be used as a sacrifice today, so no one will treat her.
There were traces of blood on her clothes, and she was fixed to a wooden stake with a pale face. Behind her were her tribesmen. Logically, she should hate herself in this situation. After all, it was she who led people to find their hiding place, captured her and her tribesmen, and used these tribesmen who were unwilling to believe in the evil god as sacrifices to complete the final birth of the evil god.
But what made Jiusheng feel strange was that there was no hatred or unwillingness on the Dragon Lord's face. He just looked at him calmly. However, those overly deep eyes made Jiusheng feel very familiar.
Her hand holding the torch trembled. She should have lit the altar directly, but for some reason she stopped.
The cheers from under the altar stopped along with her movement. The Gambler's Guild President had already found a handy weapon in the control panel, ready to rush up as soon as he discovered any signs, but the black lotus had already emitted a black gas, which fell on Jiusheng's body.
"What's the problem?"
The evil god not far away noticed that something was wrong with Jiusheng. She couldn't see the whole picture from her perspective, so she could only ask.
Jiusheng came back to his senses slightly, looked at his hands, and then lit the altar, "Nothing..."
The cheers continued, and the people below the altar let out loud shouts.
The flames suddenly shot up high, and soon the fire gradually grew larger, approaching the Dragon Lord's wooden stake, and the encirclement was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Jiusheng did not leave immediately, but stood in front of the fire and looked at the Dragon Lord. She wanted to see if the other party could maintain such a calm expression when facing the fire.
The firelight flickered in her eyes, and Jiusheng seemed to see some images in it.
The two shadows played together, fought side by side, and were jealous of each other. Those images were like a revolving lantern, reflected in the eyes of the Dragon Lord.
Jiusheng became fascinated as she watched, but she couldn't see the shadow clearly.
The fire grew bigger and bigger, and she unconsciously walked closer, wanting to see the two shadows more clearly, until she confirmed from the other person's eyes that one of the shadows was herself.
Before her brain could react, or even before anyone else could react, she had already stepped into the fire.
