Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 94 The Spirit of the Dead

"Dead for a while."

The man, who was dressed in armor, was about thirty years old, with a cold and hard temperament and three-dimensional facial features, but his aura was as if he had walked out of a sea of ​​corpses and blood, spoke calmly.

A gentle lady, dressed in a slim-fitting robe and with long hair tied up, appeared beside the river. The place where she stood was filled with flowers, as gentle and tolerant as nature.

"It does look like a sinister sacrificial ritual, Mr. Augustus. Have you noticed anything?"

The lady asked softly.

The person in charge of examining the bodies was a young man wearing a top hat, a straight suit, a high nose bridge, a broad forehead, and healthy wheat-colored skin. He did not look like a battlefield, but rather like a gentleman at a high-end dinner party.

He had a pair of golden eyes, and under those eyes that seemed to hide lightning, he kept scanning the corpses around him.

After making sure that there was nothing missing, he took off the gloves that had just touched the flesh and blood and threw them into the river that was completely contaminated by blood.

He casually said, "Recently, the Beyonders from the Abyssal Path have been trying to instigate wars between nations. I wonder if this counts."

The gloves fell into the river, emitting a golden light, purifying the remaining resentment, distortion, corruption and other emotions there, and purifying the spirits of these dead people.

The lady, as gentle as the earth, picked up the flowers on the ground. When she heard what Augustus said, the flowers bloomed in her hands and the petals fell into the blood.

"May the Mother Goddess protect them."

The lady was muttering something in a low voice, while the two men beside her were trying their best to organize the information they knew and exchange it with demigods from other countries to a limited extent.

"An apostle of desire wants to start a war? Those devil-worshipping lunatics of the Blood Cult have become increasingly rampant recently." The armor-clad, tough-guy demigod Intis said coldly.

"The demons of the Blood Cult have been making quite a few small moves lately. However, from what I understand, there seem to have been several cases of mass sacrifices in Intis recently, resulting in the deaths of a large number of residents in the town."

"I don't know. I don't care about that."

Demigod Intis said, "However, this sacrificial ceremony is a little different from the previous ones."

"Yes," Rupert Augustus said calmly, "The ritual is becoming more complete. We arrived just a little late, and the spirits of these victims have already suffered irreversible damage. They have become dark, twisted, and corrupted, beyond redemption."

The lady, as steady as the earth, had also finished her prayer at this time. She raised her hand, and the flowers, plants and trees around her suddenly grew rapidly, surrounding the corpses with distorted and hollow faces arranged in various shapes, and pulled them into the earth, returning them to the kingdom of the Mother Goddess.

At this time, by the banks of the Alexi River, the bodies had been buried, the contaminated blood had been purified, and everything had returned to peace again.

"We must apprehend the mastermind behind this. Reliable intelligence indicates that all of the Blood Cult's actions are directed by an Apostle of Desire," the woman said. "Regardless of the friction between Loen, Intis, and Feynaport, the demons who worship this evil god of the dark side of the universe and who may even be receiving rewards must be eradicated as soon as possible."

She made a thunderous announcement, startling both demigods. Intis's demigod frowned. "Received feedback from the evil god? So, all the Blood Cult's recent actions have been in service of the evil god they believe in?" "Yes," the woman whispered. "I can feel the passage of life. There's a power at work here that shouldn't be there. This is definitely not a ritual effect that a Sequence 5 demon from the Abyss could create."

"Demon rituals themselves are accompanied by massive sacrifices of blood and flesh. The demons of the abyss want to stir up conflict between nations in order to engineer a situation that is advantageous to them."

The demigod Intis sneered, "That's really interesting."

The lady spoke again: "If you want to ask for help, it's better to ask for help as much as possible.

"Based on the completeness of the ritual, the remaining spirits, and the feedback from the surrounding plants, I suspect the Apostle of Desire has received assistance from the dark side of the universe and has ascended to godhood."

Several demigods also frowned, and then left the river bank, leaving behind the corpses that had long been completely buried and the purified river water.

Just a few minutes after they left, a figure slowly emerged from the spiritual world.

Tang and another traveler puppet appeared here.

He first looked at the nearby Honachis Mountains, their towering peaks reaching into the clouds. The sun in the distance had dispelled some of the long-standing fog that had covered the peaks, revealing the dense vegetation that grew there. It looked completely ordinary and familiar.

And he could feel a throbbing sensation coming from somewhere in the Honachis Mountains. It was an instinctive yearning stemming from the law of Beyonder characteristic aggregation.

"Luckily, I know what's on the mountain. Otherwise, if I had followed my heart, I might have walked into the mountains and walked to a tree, and suddenly found a deserted town with a ceiling full of secret dolls constantly shouting 'Honakis, Fregola!'"

Tang breathed a sigh of relief. He had no plans to go up the mountain to meet Antigonus, the Angel King who was half a fool.

"After all, this is a secret town created by the Goddess of Night. Without full preparation, even if I were a Sequence 1 Mystic Servant, I wouldn't risk breaking in."

He couldn't figure out the attitude of the Night Goddess on this matter. After all, his own buffs were even more stacked than Xiao Ke's. Who knew whether the Goddess would let him go or give him a blow to make him completely "calm down"?
Tang retracted his gaze and looked around again.

"Those guys just now should be the demigods stationed at the borders of Loen, Intis, and Feyneman. However, I didn't expect that it wasn't the Beyonders from the three major churches in Loen who discovered the problem, but rather the believers of Mother Earth."

But no matter who it is, it's good to notice it.

After putting the Traveler's Secret Doll into the system space, Tang once again entered the Euclidean space to look for traces left by the god from the dark side of the universe.

"This place has obviously been cleared. The Beyonders from the Abyssal Path are experts at countering divination and prophecy. They interfered with this, preventing the demigods from other paths from finding him through divination. It's very simple."

Tang looked at the remnants of the dead in the Euclidean space. They were so weak that they were almost imperceptible and would completely dissipate soon. They were polluted to the point that only the purest fear remained. He slowly looked into the distance along the direction where the spirituality was spreading.

"That should be where the God-descended One is."
