“Ah Su!”
A bit dazed, he said, “He’s a cultist, don’t kill him!”
“?”
Su Qi looked at the corpses scattered on the ground, “What did you say?”
The youth then realized he had gotten a bit too panicked, as there was only one person left alive.
His eyes slightly lowered, and in a hoarse voice filled with gravity, he said, “It seems you still don’t know…
when cultists are killed, the pollution power within them will follow you like a relentless parasite, frantically attaching to you and then consuming you.”
He bent down and lifted the…
white clothing from the bodies on the ground.
Indeed.
On each one was a…
black pattern, entirely different from the many town residents.
The pattern bore strange eyes – one glance would make you feel as though falling into the abyss.
This also explained why earlier, everyone showed the black stripes beneath their clothes, except for these individuals who didn’t react at all.
Su Qi calmly opened the book again, “No rush, you continue searching for information.”
“Still not panicking?” The youth’s eyes widened, “Your heart is too big, they are all cultists!
It’s the terrifying power of the Abyss!”
“Merely contact brings immense misfortune!”
“Just do as I say,” Su Qi spoke softly, “Now we have plenty of time, enough information, the advantage is ours.”
“The one pretending to be calm…” The old man was also staring intently at Su Qi, laughing crazily, “Whatever you try is futile, you can’t escape!
When the Venerable returns!”
“You will die…”
Su Qi stretched out his hand, and with a snap, the Dark Star Dagger directly pierced through his throat.
However.
He didn’t completely kill him yet, the old fellow still had his uses.
“I certainly didn’t expect all this to be connected to the Evil God.”
“And…”
“Although I don’t know what kind of being that…
Venerable is, nor what role he plays in the Abyss Cult, this old guy mentioned the four words ‘Venerable’s plan.'”
“I have a bad feeling about this…”
Su Qi flipped through the books in his hands, which recorded the notes of that Venerable – murder, Chaotic, rituals, methods of communicating with the above, etc.
He had already seen plenty of information.
For instance, there’s more than one Venerable; it seems to be a kind of sacred title, those who inherit the title…
seem to achieve infinite glory and are sculpted into beings worshipped by countless people.
“The incident in the Anxious Land just ended, and they’re quickly planning something new.”
However.
Su Qi understood that their power seemed to have nearly reached a peak, about to burst forth, opening the prologue between the Present World and the Abyss.
This point.
Was the information revealed to him by the Traveling Merchant.
“Ah Su, these are all the materials about Chaotic and the rituals I found.” The youth was capable, very quickly finding many forbidden books in the Venerable’s study and retrieving valuable information from them.
“And…here it mentions the whole town is covered by a mind-controlling ritual, the Transmission Array and other key elements seem to be in that location.” But the youth shook his head, “Yet I can find no clues.”
“Normal, after all, such a confidential area isn’t that easy to find, and…there’s no need to look for it.” Su Qi casually flipped through the materials brought to him, “Everything will become clear tomorrow.”
He learned that the black liquid is known as Chaotic, an extremely precious substance possessed by the upper echelons of the cultists, which they cultivate and absorb a sufficient amount of sin before gathering it together.
The purpose of the gathering, although not specified in the information, Su Qi knew must be linked to the so-called Venerable’s plan.
And Su Qi looked at the window that popped up in front of him again.
[Main Quest: Escape]
[This is a town of terror and strangeness, filled with dangerously wicked people, and there seems to be a tremendous secret hidden deep within.
Players, please seize every opportunity to escape!]
He didn’t know how many times Paradise sent pop-up alerts, each time seeming to rush Su Qi as if something terrifying was about to happen.
But Su Qi didn’t bother with it.
If he followed the main quest directed by Paradise, that actually would be somewhat similar to the youth’s course of action – sneaking out in the depths of night, avoiding surveillance, entering the Venerable Garden, dodging various taboos and guards, sneaking in stealthily.
Then he would discover all sorts of photos in the corridor, revealing the dangers of the town.
Next, finding an opportunity to enter the Venerable’s room, uncovering secrets and clues, then searching for the Transmission Array.
Of course.
If he wanted to lower the difficulty, it would mean teaming up with the newcomer youth.
But only.
Su Qi completely ignored them and headed straight to the Watcher’s location, pulled them into the Magic Cube Domain, and directly crushed the cube!
Then he entered the Venerable Garden and gathered all the Guardians into the Venerable’s room.
He commenced a siege on them.
Everything that was happening had long since deviated from the main plot.
Initially, Su Qi was interested in the Chaotic, but now that he had discovered the Abyss, Evil Gods, and other clues, he was even more determined not to overlook them.
“Now…”
Su Qi slowly stood up, “It’s about time to leave this place.”
There was no more information to be had.
The young man paused slightly and pointed at the elderly man struggling against the wall,
“What about him?”
“Bring him along,” Su Qi said with a smile.
The old man stared intently at Su Qi, who was strolling casually; he could barely tell if this person was just acting tough.
After all, countless people who heard their names harbored fear, dread, and fled in terror.
And now…
he didn’t care at all.
The young man picked up the old man and carried him on his shoulder.
He had been unwillingly drawn into this, but there were no other options at present because the Transmission Array had indeed been concealed.
He had seen the information he needed to see and found no clues.
Before him,
He could only follow the actions of this Brother Su.
However, the other party made him somewhat puzzled since it seemed that Ah Su didn’t know about the existence of the Abyss Cult or Cultists—their expression hadn’t changed just now.
It was more like a question asked with interest.
Could it be that he’s from the native world, someone who has had no exchange of information with the Present World?
That was a possibility.
The young man carried the old man out of the Venerable Garden, speaking as he walked,
“That Ah Su, the real danger is not the Cultists we see now, even though they claim to be followers, they haven’t merged much with that black liquid.
Instead, it’s all the townspeople, these thoroughly evil individuals have, over time, fused with a large amount of the black liquid and their spiritual wills are highly unified.”
“Once it bursts, we will have nowhere to bury our dead!”
His tone was very serious, with a slight tremble.
After all, the photos in the corridor had profoundly shocked his young mind.
“You’ve got one thing wrong.”
Su Qi, walking ahead, spoke softly.
“The real danger isn’t them.”
The young man was taken aback, “Is it the imminent arrival of the Venerable and his protectors?”
According to the information, the Venerable and two protectors had gone out and would return tomorrow.
Being the existence devoutly worshiped by countless people here, the Venerable must hold a great threat.
“No.”
Su Qi shook his head yet again, “The real danger…”
“Is this town.”
The young man paused again, observing the surrounding town.
The dark night was upon them, with little light to be seen, but the pervasive, heart-stirring fear seemed like something was burrowing into his spirit.
Yet, standing beside Su Qi, it seemed to be blocked.
“What do you mean?”
“You’ll find out tomorrow…”
Su Qi said quietly.
Ever since arriving here, he felt everything was eerily familiar, especially that spiritual influence.
No matter where in the town, one would gradually succumb and become one of the town’s blissful residents.
And these…
they were too reminiscent of the Evil God’s Strength.
It was the Source of Pollution itself, and the Pollution would madly decrease sanity, affecting the mind.
Previously, he just sensed familiarity but didn’t see any indications, after all, there were not a few in the Present World who possessed Spiritual Ability.
But now, knowing all this was related to the Cultists, linked to the Abyss Power, and even directly mentioning the Evil God,
Then,
Su Qi was almost certain of his suspicions.
“Evil God…”
“What exactly are you planning…”
