betray
Guan Yingying held a strand of hair by her ear with her right hand and walked out of the temple in high heels.
She smiled peacefully and greeted every believer who passed by naturally along the way. She looked no different from usual.
But only Guan Yingying herself knew that her cold sweat had almost soaked the lining under her coat.
A new list of all members of the "Art Hall" was imported into the mobile phone in Guan Yingying's left coat pocket.
She didn't know why she suddenly made such an impulsive move, but ever since Su Mu and Lin Lang joined the organization, she began to suffer from sleepless nights.
Guan Yingying's mind was constantly circling with the various actions she had done in recent times, which were pious yet crazy, and made her shudder.
Guan Yingying asked herself over and over again: Do I still believe in the goddess and this place?
The answer is undoubtedly "faith".
After coming here, she witnessed what a true "God" is, saw a new world, and also possessed superhuman powers that she had never dared to imagine in the past.
She once thought that bringing other artists here was a kind of "salvation" for them, so that they would not waste the blessing from the goddess and would get them a ticket to the kingdom of God.
But have I never had the slightest doubt about this place?
Guan Yingying questioned herself like this until Lin Lang and Su Mu, two children under the age of 18, joined the "Art Hall". Her doubts and guilt reached their peak. The small emotions that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time were completely detonated by some unknown force, causing her to doubt and resist uncontrollably.
Then, a strong idea occupied her mind - she wanted to get the list of members of the "Art Hall" as a trump card in her hand just in case... or hand it over to the authorities.
Guan Yingying didn't even know why she had such a thought, but every time doubts came to her mind, a gentle female voice echoed in her mind: You are not betraying. If the "Muse" is really a god, how could she be afraid of being registered with the government? A true god was born in China. As a Chinese official, after learning of this great news, they will definitely assist the goddess and let the goddess's glory spread to every corner of the earth.
This voice suppressed her confusion and anxiety, and induced her to return to the "Art Hall" and quietly stole the list.
I am doing this for the Goddess, I am helping Her!
Guan Yingying kept talking to herself in her heart, and her steps became faster and faster.
——There is a huge teleportation magic circle in the southeast of the "Art Hall". As long as you pray to the "Muse" sincerely and use the "Holy Pearl" given by the goddess, you can return to the original place just like you came here.
The number of "holy beads" is limited. Before receiving a new round of blessings from the goddess, it means that the number of times one can come to the holy land to pray and even pay homage to the goddess is something that every believer desires to obtain.
Just like when she came here, Guan Yingying placed the "holy beads" on the magic circle, clasped her hands together and silently prayed, her heart pounding: I will be able to leave here soon!
The "Holy Pearl" broke into two pieces, and magic power flowed into the magic circle, but it did not work as Guan Yingying imagined.
Is it the same as before, that the goddess didn't hear my call?
Guan Yingying wiped the sweat from her forehead, put another "holy bead" in, and was about to pray when a familiar male voice sounded in her ears.
The voice belonged to someone who was about thirty years old, mature and pleasant, with undisguised disappointment.
"Guan Yingying, you can't leave."
Guan Yingying's body froze. She quickly adjusted her facial expression, turned her head and pretended to be confused: "Brother Sun, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand? Doesn't Her Highness the Goddess have time to respond to our prayers today?"
The man known as "Brother Sun" is none other than one of the senior believers of the "Art Hall", the leading actor of the organization's self-directed and self-acted scripts, and Sun Yiming, a new generation actor with extremely high popularity in the Chinese entertainment industry.
He joined the "Art Hall" earlier than Guan Yingying, so his status is naturally higher than Guan Yingying. He is the first artist to enter the core circle.
Sun Yiming has always been very optimistic about Guan Yingying, a newcomer who has made outstanding performance shortly after joining the organization. Guan Yingying was able to get the role of the female lead with his full recommendation.
However, Guan Yingying betrayed his trust and stole important information from the organization, even trying to leave with it.
No matter where this information goes, it will be a serious judgment for the "Art Hall", and Sun Yiming will also be suspected and hated by the core circle managers.
That was why he appeared here impatiently, busy using Guan Yingying to prove his innocence.
A drop of cold sweat slid down Guan Yingying's forehead, but at this moment she knew that she must not be discovered, so she could only bite the bullet and pretend to be confused: "Brother Sun, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"
"Guan Yingying, do you want me to make it clear? You stole the church's membership list, who are you going to give it to?" Sun Yiming said angrily.
"Sun, Brother Sun, you misunderstood me..."
"Misunderstanding?" Sun Yiming sneered: "The goddess has withdrawn your gift, and you can no longer leave here. Do you dare to swear in front of the goddess that you have never done anything to betray the goddess!"
Guan Yingying clenched her fists. Under the guidance of magic, she did not feel that there was anything wrong with her logic at this moment. Instead, she said loudly and confidently: "I swear to the goddess that I have never betrayed the goddess!"
"You..." Sun Yiming choked. He originally felt righteous, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
But Sun Yiming soon realized what was happening and became even more angry: "Well, you have already betrayed your faith in the goddess! It's a pity that the goddess has always taken good care of you!"
"I didn't!" Guan Yingying's voice was sharp, and she had completely lost her mind: "It's them! Su Mu and Lin Lang! It's because of them that I completely lost the favor of the goddess! Brother Sun, I'm going to do something big, believe me... As long as I have this list, I will definitely be able to double the size of the church again... No, it will become the largest religion in China!"
"You're crazy!" Sun Yiming obviously didn't believe Guan Yingying's nonsense: "Who is behind you? If you give them away, I can still spare your life!"
"Brother Sun, please believe me! I really didn't betray the goddess!" Guan Yingying screamed hysterically.
While Guan Yingying was making a mess of the temple, two figures hidden by magic quietly hid aside, watching and complaining.
"What if Sun Yiming wants to attack Guan Yingying?" Su Mu asked curiously.
"Then Guan Yingying will enter version 3.0." Lin Lang said: "She will directly become an emotionless "killer". I have implanted magic power in her, and I will operate it myself later, and I guarantee that she will kill everyone."
Su Mu: "What about the documents on Guan Yingying? Should we collect them after she finishes typing?"
Lin Lang: "Of course not. You underestimate this organization, don't you? What Guan Yingying stole was of course fake. For this kind of criminal organization, the member list and financial statements are the two most important documents. One is a bargaining chip to deal with the authorities, and the other is effective proof of criminal information. Do you think such important documents can be accessed so easily by a member who has just joined the organization?"
Su Mu was not surprised: "I thought so too, but I saw that the fake goddess trusted Guan Yingying quite a bit."
Lin Lang said: "Of course she trusts them, but the members who help her run the organization may not trust them. Guan Yingying has not been a member for long enough for them to include her in the core system."
"I understand your idea. You are trying to lure the snake out of its hole!" Su Mu understood: "Guan Yingying is the one favored by the goddess after all, and the power of faith is flowing to the goddess, there is no doubt about that. If a person who clearly believes in the goddess betrays, it means that the faith they firmly believe in cannot guarantee a person's loyalty. Therefore, if there is only Guan Yingying who betrays, there must be a second and a third person."
Lin Lang nodded: "That's right. When a structure that was thought to be indestructible suddenly has cracks, what will be the first reaction of the people hiding inside it?"
"Find the most important file, make sure it's safe, and move it immediately if necessary." Su Mu said.
Lin Lang said: "So for people who possess supernatural powers, do you think they are more willing to believe in technology or in their own strength?"
Su Mu said: "Do you think the fake goddess would use space magic to hide the documents?"
Lin Lang said: "That's right. So I have already set up a magic circle here in advance. Once there is a trace of space magic, it will be forcibly taken over and the objects hidden in it will be seized..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Lang raised his eyebrows: "Sure enough, he's here."
The magic circle was quickly activated. Even with the magic power of the evil demon, Mu Jingbai was only a junior magician after all. How could he be compared with Lin Lang, who used magic with pure passion?
Before she could finish casting her space magic, Lin Lang had forcibly moved the space in front of her, opened it, and something hidden inside fell out.
Lin Lang and Su Mu were stunned: "This is..."
The imagined USB drive or hard drive, or even paper document, did not appear. Instead, there was a girl of six or seven years old, with a pale face, as if she had lost her life.
Lin Lang quickly placed his hand on her carotid artery and carefully sensed it. After a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, she is just in a coma, but still alive."
Su Mu was a little surprised: "This little girl is the "list"? Did they hide the file in this girl's brain?"
Lin Lang did not speak, but placed his palm on the girl's forehead. A huge amount of information continuously poured into Lin Lang's mind - it was the membership list and financial statements of the "Art Hall".
Lin Lang immediately used magic to transmit the information and coordinates to the students in Class 9 on the South Island thousands of kilometers away, who then quickly passed it on to the Chinese authorities.
In an instant, strong magical shocks suddenly came from all directions - someone was trying to block the space, and the level of magic was far beyond what the fake goddess could compare to.
It seems that the evil demon hiding in the dark has awakened?
Lin Lang snapped his fingers, and a new barrier was formed outside the underground temple in City S, locking all members underground. At the same time, the space beside Lin Lang and Su Mu was violently torn open, and Rui Hang, who was wrapped in a black cloak, Gao Shu, who was joining in the fun, and Lin Yuan, who came with a few students to visit and do internship, all walked out of the cracks in the space.
Through the crack, one can vaguely see the "Tower of Babel" behind everyone, as well as "Rui Hang" created by illusion, standing behind the students with a worried expression.
Lin Lang stretched, activated his and Su Mu's invisibility magic, and used the amplification magic to transmit his righteous voice to every corner of the temple.
"Hello, this is the Chinese police. You have been surrounded. Please immediately put your hands on your head and squat on the ground. You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be used as evidence in court."
The believers stopped what they were doing and looked up in confusion.
"I've been wanting to say this for a long time!" Lin Lang said happily, "It's really enjoyable!"
But Rui Hang waved his hand, motioning Lin Lang to move closer.
Lin Lang: “???”
Rui Hang's disguised, cold voice resounded everywhere: "Surrender or die, choose one for yourself."
Lin Lang/Su Mu/Gaomasu/Lin Yuan: "Murder is against the law! Your Majesty the Demon King, calm down!"
