Suspicion and Excitent
Jian Changsheng didn't answer imdiately.
He lightly rubbed the key in his palm, his gaze constantly searching for sothing in the crowd, as if sowhat absent-minded.
"Spades!" Sun Bumian called him again.
Jian Changsheng recovered his senses. He hesitated for a mont, but still spoke:
"You say... that Scarlet Heaven Cultist who sent us the keys, what exactly is his background?"
"The Sacrificial Rite is about to begin, are you counting on him to help us?" Sun Bumian imdiately shook his head,
"Although I don't know why he gave us the keys, but let's just consider him a good person with a conscience... He secretly gave the keys, but on the surface he was still interrogating, which ans he doesn't dare to act recklessly in the open, at least still constrained by the other Scarlet Heaven Cultists and Bishops.
So no matter what, after the Sacrificial Rite begins he won't be able to help us. Secretly giving a key is probably already the limit of what he can do."
Hearing this, Jian Changsheng hesitated to speak.
Sun Bumian keenly captured the abnormality in his eyes. As if realizing sothing, he spoke with a strange expression:
"Don't tell , you want to say that guy is Hearts..."
"Uh... is it impossible?"
"Please! What do you think Hearts is, a ubiquitous ghost? This is the depths of the Gray World, the territory of the Scarlet Heaven Cult! He is still at the Integration Faction, how could he be a Scarlet Heaven Cultist here?" Sun Bumian was sowhat speechless,
"You really need to change that bad habit of yours..."
"What bad habit?"
"The bad habit of whenever a stranger treats you a little bit well, you want to tear off their facial skin to see if they are Six of Hearts!"
"..."
Jian Changsheng still wanted to refute, but the Archbishop and the two red-robed Bishops had already stood still in front of the altar.
At the sa ti, on the edge of the many Scarlet Heaven Cultists, a figure draped in a red robe silently mingled in.
These ordinary cultists scattered according to fixed intervals, surrounding the bonfire. Under the illumination of the raging flas, they looked like a red halo... Perhaps because the number of people had already sharply decreased by nearly half, the red halo surrounding the bonfire appeared thin and simple.
Chen Ling just stood on the periphery of the crowd like this. On one hand, it was to quietly observe everything on the altar from a bystander's perspective; on the other hand, it was to avoid exposing a flaw due to not knowing the procedure, letting the other Scarlet Heaven Cultists discover sothing unusual.
But even though Chen Ling had already hidden on the very edge, the mont he appeared, there was still a gaze accurately looking towards here.
It was exactly Jian Changsheng who was being used as a sacrifice.
"... What does he want?"
Sensing Jian Changsheng's gaze, Chen Ling could only pretend not to see it, honestly playing the role of an ordinary Scarlet Heaven Cultist, but several thoughts flashed through his heart.
Could he have seen through my disguise?
No... This guy doesn't have that strong reconnaissance ability. He should just be curious about my identity.
Chen Ling understood Jian Changsheng too well, imdiately guessing the other party's psychology. And Chen Ling was quite reassured about his disguise level. As long as he was willing, Jian Changsheng wouldn't be able to see any clues...
"It's ti." Zheng Ye stood at the very front row of the ordinary cultists. After glancing at the position of the stars in the sky, he spoke in a deep voice.
"&#!...!!"
The Archbishop standing in front of the altar suddenly roared, giving Chen Ling and the Jian Changsheng trio a big jump.
Imdiately after, he picked up a sharp stone from the table edge, forcefully slashed his palm, and dark red fresh blood slowly squeezed out from it, then heavily slapped onto the surface of the altar!
Bang——!!
A muffled loud noise resounded through the village.
"Slurp..."
The mont the Archbishop cut open his palm, a wave of extre sweetness drilled into Chen Ling's nasal cavity. The instinct carved into his body directly made him secrete a large amount of saliva, almost dripping from the corner of his mouth...
But Chen Ling's reaction was still extrely fast. He imdiately suppressed that craving to eat, and with a gulp, swallowed all the saliva into his stomach.
Chen Ling's small movent was quite subtle, none of the surrounding Scarlet Heaven Cultists noticed anything unusual...
With the exception of one person.
A certain figure locked in front of the stone rampart, who had been staring closely at Chen Ling, saw Chen Ling's instantaneous swallowing movent. He was taken aback first, then seeming to feel sowhat familiar, slightly frowned and began to ponder...
And then, he shockingly opened his mouth slightly. The gaze looking at Chen Ling was like seeing a ghost, his pair of eyes bright as stars!!
Jian Changsheng beca visibly excited to the naked eye.
Chen Ling: ...
Chen Ling saw this scene from the corner of his eye, and had an ominous premonition in his heart...
As the Archbishop cut open his palm and heavily slapped the altar, the other two red-robed Bishops also followed closely behind. They respectively cut open one palm and pressed it onto the surface of the altar. Three lumps of fresh blood flowed down along the specific guiding grooves on the altar, ultimately converging into the raging bonfire.
Boom——!!!
The flas behind the Jian Changsheng trio suddenly explosively ignited, and then bizarrely surfaced a touch of deep red.
The scorching flas danced wildly in the air. The surging heat wave even began to ignite the corners of the Jian Changsheng trio's clothes. Watching the small flas randomly darting in front of his eyes, Sun Bumian couldn't help speaking again:
"It's too late, we can only fight them!"
"No! Wait a bit longer!" Jian Changsheng stared dead-on at Chen Ling's direction. "Things can't be this simple... There will definitely be an unexpected turn of events!!"
"Unexpected turn of events? Where would an unexpected turn of events co from?" Sun Bumian looked along his gaze, and it was that ordinary Scarlet Heaven Cultist again. He clicked his tongue. "Spades, I think you're possessed."
"I'm not! I dare to bet!! That guy is ten thousand percent Hearts!! If not, I'll take your surna in the future!!"
"???"
Before Sun Bumian could say anything more, the deep red Torchlight behind them had already surged into the sky like a tornado, as if connecting to another space in nothingness, blowing up all the gravel on the ground.
"#(*&￥)!!"
The Archbishop's palm pressed dead-on the center of the altar, maintaining that Torchlight soaring into the sky. He let out a low roar, and the two red-robed Bishops seed to receive so kind of order, their gazes simultaneously looking at Jian Changsheng and the others under the Torchlight.
They took a step and walked towards there.
Jian Changsheng and the others realized that it was ti for the sacrifices to play their role. That Torchlight containing Red Star Aspiration Power had already connected to the distant Red Star, and now the Scarlet Heaven Cultists needed to transmit Earth's "coordinates".
Sun Bumian's face was incomparably gloomy. He exchanged a glance with Jiang Xiaohua and Jian Changsheng. In the next mont, the stone locks on the trio simultaneously unlocked!
Clang——
The heavy stone locks landed, emitting a few muffled sounds. Many Scarlet Heaven Cultists saw this scene and were slightly taken aback.
Just as Sun Bumian was preparing to fight them, the earth beneath the trio suddenly collapsed. Amidst flying dust and smoke, the trio directly fell underground, disappearing without a trace...
Looking at the deep hole under his feet, Sun Bumian's gaze turned from original astonishnt to pleasant surprise:
"Senior is indeed worthy of being a Senior. At the critical mont, he is still very reliable!"
