The direction Xu Liang was pointing was not towards the gate of the abandoned church, but in the opposite direction.
Surrounded by the vigilant gazes of the crowd, Qiao Ruoxi walked through a long corridor and saw oil paintings hanging on the gray walls at the end of the corridor.
Finally, Xu Liang stopped in front of the oil painting "The Last Supper".
He raised his hand to take down the painting, and a combination lock suddenly appeared on the wall.
Xu Liang pressed a long and complicated password, and in a moment, there was a "click" sound, and the word "passed" appeared in green on the small screen.
Then there was a loud "boom" sound, and a crack appeared in the wall, slowly separating to both sides.
Half a minute later, a dark road leading underground appeared in front of everyone.
"Follow closely. If you get lost, don't even think about getting out alive." Xu Liang raised one corner of his lips and gave Qiao Ruoxi a playful smile.
Qiao Ruoxi glanced at the people gathered around her and asked, "Do I look like I might get lost?"
Xu Liang laughed loudly and waved his hand: "Everyone follow me in!"
With a few "click" sounds, the people following Xu Liang turned on their flashlights, and the dark underground passage suddenly became bright.
Qiao Ruoxi looked around quietly.
The walls of this underground passage shone with a cold metallic glow, probably made of cast iron sheets. It was as sturdy as an air-raid shelter, but its design was more like an underground tomb.
Just as Xu Liang said, this passage has countless forks.
Xu Liang stopped at a fork in the road, pointed his flashlight at a fork on the left, and asked Qiao Ruoxi, "Guess what would happen if we walked on that road?"
Under the light of the flashlight, countless tiny dust particles swirled and danced around the light, but if you look closely, you can find that there are actually several corpses with their bones exposed.
Xu Liang shook the stone in his hand and threw it towards the fork in the road.
There was a sound of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh", and several holes appeared in the wall. Countless sharp arrows shot out from them and smashed the stone into pieces.
Qiao Ruoxi raised her eyebrows. Although this looked very much like the design of an ancient imperial tomb, the technology was obviously not from ancient times. For example, the arrowhead was obviously a metal synthesis using modern technology.
Seeing this scene, Xu Liang became even more excited, with a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes: "See? Without my guidance, that stone would have been your fate. Isn't that cool?"
Then, he looked back at Qiao Ruoxi with a threatening look: "Don't blame me for not warning you, if you dare to have any evil ideas, you will only end up dead!"
Qiao Ruoxi raised her red lips slightly: "Don't be too nervous, I'm here to join you, not to fight against you."
This sentence successfully aroused Xu Liang's emotions: "I'm nervous? Why should I be nervous? You should be the one who is nervous!"
Qiao Ruoxi raised her eyebrows and said nothing more.
After walking for about three more minutes, the road finally reached the end. In front of Qiao Ruoxi was another gray wall, an iron door and a combination lock.
Xu Liang pressed a long password again, and the door opened with a clang, and a bright light shone in from outside.
After getting used to the light, the first thing that caught my eye was Lin Jing standing on the platform.
Lin Jing was wearing a golden robe and a golden crown on her head. She had changed her previous plain and noble appearance. Now she looked more like a queen standing high above everyone else, with her chin held high, looking down on everyone in the audience.
Behind Lin Jing is a huge screen.
The man on the screen was wearing an iron mask and giving a speech in a high-pitched voice.
"My faithful believers, she withstood Satan's test, became my partner, and gave birth to my son Satan. Today, she officially becomes your godmother. You must treat her as you would me and devote everything you have to her!"
Everyone in the audience crossed their arms in front of their chests, knelt on one knee, and made strange noises like birdsong.
"My faithful believers, before the banquet begins, please offer your most sincere heart to your godmother!" The man on the screen raised his hands high.
At this time, a silver bowl as big as a face was brought up.
Everyone in the audience stood up and lined up in front of Lin Jing. They picked up the knife on the tray with a solemn attitude, cut their wrists, and dripped blood into the silver bowl.
Faces flashed before Qiao Ruoxi's eyes, and they looked so familiar.
There are political bigwigs who often appear on TV, entrepreneurs who are frequent guests in financial magazines, and even biologists who are well-known in academic forums.
Among them, she knew Gu Yan, the eldest son of the Gu family.
At this moment, the arrogance on their faces disappeared, leaving only dullness and greedy desires.
Qiao Ruoxi could clearly see that they were surrounded by black mist, some even had their eyes obscured, and the air was filled with a smell of decay and corruption.
It is quite appropriate to arrange this so-called banquet in a place that looks like a mausoleum.
When the last person dripped blood into the silver bowl, the silver bowl was just full, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood.
Lin Jing, however, seemed not to care at all, and even longed for it.
She walked forward, picked up the silver bowl, and drank the blood in one gulp.
Her lips were stained bright red, with a trace of blood hanging from the corners, but the people in the audience cheered one after another.
Xu Liang also clenched his fists excitedly: "Great! It's their honor to be able to nourish the godmother with their blood!"
Qiao Ruoxi: ...
Isn’t this a modern version of the blood oath?
Scientific reports have said that blood contains a large amount of toxins and metabolites. The fact that he can still drink this shows that Lin Jing's cultural level is... just so-so.
"What are you daydreaming about? Godmother is calling you up!" A cold voice sounded in Qiao Ruoxi's ears.
Qiao Ruoxi finally came back from her trance and looked at Lin Jing who was standing on the high platform in front of her.
"Why, are you scared?" Lin Jing smiled contemptuously.
But she was soon slapped in the face by Qiao Ruoxi's actions.
Qiao Ruoxi walked towards Lin Jing with a smile on her face. When they faced each other, Qiao Ruoxi spoke first.
"I didn't expect that my sister-in-law is not my sister-in-law, but the sacred Godmother. Does the Pei family know about this?"
Lin Jing's face suddenly turned gloomy. He took the tissue handed to him by the person next to him, wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, and then spoke.
"The Pei family is nothing but a stepping stone on my road to progress. This is my home, my innate mission!"
Looking at Lin Jing's mouth full of blood, opening and closing, Qiao Ruoxi felt a little disgusted.
But what surprised her was that the little guy in her belly was surprisingly sensible at this moment and didn't make any noise at all.
"What about you, Qiao Ruoxi, do you know what you are doing?" Lin Jing suddenly grinned.
