Daring! She cheated in the thriller game

Yu Lan had already worked very hard to suppress the negative impact of the red power on her, and she didn't have the strength to climb up the several-meter-high pool wall, but she couldn't let Lucius find out. After weighing the pros and cons, Yu Lan thought for a while, jumped lightly, and used the energy she had just absorbed.

The power she absorbed just now was more red than black, so she used the red one first. However, because it was her first time using it, she was not very skilled, so she jumped directly into the church door a few meters away.

Yulan: ...

Yu Lan turned around slowly and met the eyes of Lucius, who had climbed halfway up the pool wall.

Lucius: You're making us look stupid for crawling so obediently.

He pulled the corner of his mouth, then walked to Yu Lan as if nothing had happened: "Ting Lan, did you find anything?"

Yu Lan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Well... I feel the breath of the old god."

Lucius curled his lips again and said, "Nonsense, this is the church of the old gods, it would be strange if it wasn't his aura."

But this also explains some problems. He stroked his chin and thought: "But wasn't the old god killed by the new god? Why is his breath still in the church?"

"Maybe it's because the holy relics left behind by him or his believers are still here." Yu Lan said, trying to push the door of the church, but was suddenly bounced back by a powerful energy.

Yu Lan looked down at her hand that was hurt by the shock. Fortunately, she had used her magic power to protect her hand, otherwise it would not be as simple as just having her hand blown away.

However... at that time she used red mana, which is the power of the old gods, to open the door, but it was bounced back by the door. This is very strange, could it be that the power that bounced back at her was some other power?

Thinking of this, Yu Lan looked at Lucius and said, "You guys try it."

Lucius also noticed something. Although he didn't feel as much as Yu Lan, he could also see that the church was resisting Yu Lan's contact.

He braced himself, then put his hand on the church doorknob - no response.

Lucius and Yu Lan looked at each other, which made Yu Lan confirm what she was thinking.

She smiled: "Open it."

Lucius didn't find anything wrong. He exerted force with his hands and pushed the heavy door in front of him open, revealing its dilapidated interior to them.

The front hall of the church was damaged by an unknown force and was in tatters. There were broken stones and fragments of stained windows everywhere. Although it was severely damaged, some clues could be found from the debris on the ground.

First, the front hall of the church, which is usually where believers pray, and there should be some chairs for believers to sit and listen to the gospel. But there are none here, only the rubble of the wall on the empty ground.

Secondly...Yu Lan raised her eyes and looked at the gorgeous chair in front of her.

This church has no statue of God, only a chair.

This is very intriguing...Is the king's power granted by God, or are there only humans behind God?

Lucius also noticed this problem. He walked to the ornate chair and turned around: "Where is the statue of the old god? Is it in the back?"

"Then let's go and take a look." Yu Lan suggested. There was indeed nothing in the front, and the red threads in the air went backwards.

Lucius thought so too. He nodded, then walked to the back with Yu Lan. The other team members stayed in the lobby of the church to search to see if there was anything suspicious.

The two walked in the narrow aisle, and the blue lantern in Yu Lan's hand illuminated the small area.

"Tinglan." Lucius suddenly said, "I have a question. Those people said that the new god massacred several cities... What do you think was the reason?"

"Should you ask me this?" Yu Lan said in surprise. She wondered who were the believers of the new god?

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I almost forgot that you don't know what happened." Lucius laughed twice: "In fact, I believe in my Lord very much! My Lord is omnipotent. I don't think he is such a cruel god. There must be some unknown secrets behind his massacre of the city!"

Yu Lan twitched her lips. No, the name of you new god's followers is ascetics. To become a follower you have to suffer. Which god makes his followers suffer every day? Isn't this cruel?

However, the matter was not clear yet, and Yu Lan did not dare to jump to conclusion. Her intuition told her that the new god was not a good thing, and the old god was no good either.

"Lucius, I think there's another problem you haven't discovered along the way."

"what?"

"Massacre the city, massacre the city... You said the New God massacred the city, but where are the bodies? We didn't see any skeletons along the way."

Lucius suddenly realized, yes, they had entered several houses, there were no corpses inside, and they did not sense any resentment. Apart from the circle of red shadows and the undead on the city wall, they did not sense anything. This city was too clean.

Thinking of this, he pushed open the door leading to the atrium. Lucius's surprised expression appeared in front of him, and Yu Lan also knew the result of her question just now.

A pile of white bones was piled up in disorder in the atrium. There seemed to be thousands of corpses among them, and the height of the pile of bones was almost half the height of the church.

"So the bodies of the people in the city are all here." Lucius murmured, "But, the one who massacred the city was the new god, so why are the bodies in the church of the old god? Could it be that the old god wanted to protect their believers?"

"Is this how your new god protects corpses?" Yu Lan couldn't help but complain. If it was for protection, the corpses should have been properly placed, not just buried or cremated. Piling them up in piles, isn't that disrespectful to the corpses?

She thinks protection is fake and harm is real.

The red threads in the air also reached their end at this time, densely entangled on the white bones, looking like a red mountain from a distance.

Yu Lan looked at the skeletons in front of her and suddenly thought of a question: "Lucius, do you know which cities the New God Slaughter is?"

Lucius was stunned by this question, then smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This is not something we can know. I'm afraid the only one who knows this is the high priest."

"High Priest...it seems that this part of history cannot be mentioned?"

"Not really." Lucius held it in for a while, then said with a strange look, "In fact, the New God did not hide this matter. On the contrary, he did not restrict others from talking about him, but no one dared to mention it, for fear of angering the New God."

Perhaps because he thought this matter was a little strange, Lucius directly called it the New God.

"I see. I see." Yu Lan nodded calmly, and then she and Lucius walked past the pile of skulls and went to the backyard. The two walked around the church, but still did not find any statues of the old gods. There was only a cross representing them, and nothing else.

"That's strange." Lucius scratched his head. "Why can't I find the statues of the old gods anywhere? Could they have been destroyed by the new gods?"

"Or in other words, there was no statue of the old god from the beginning to the end?" Yu Lan looked at the high chair from a distance, and a sense of sarcasm inexplicably arose in her heart.

She walked up the steps slowly, poked the gorgeous golden chair with the lantern, and then kicked it hard in front of everyone's surprised gazes -

She used the magic power she had just absorbed for this kick. For some reason, she subconsciously used the smaller amount of black magic power.

"boom--"

With a loud bang and the ground shaking slightly, the chair that looked very sturdy was kicked open by Yu Lan and broken into two pieces.

Yu Lan kept kicking her feet in silence. After a while, when the dust settled, she calmly retracted her feet: "Haha, this chair is made with shoddy materials."

Lucius was silent. He recalled the solid sound of the chair hitting the wall. How could a plastic chair make such a loud noise? Otherwise, he should put aside his plan to target Yu Lan. He was afraid that Yu Lan would kick him in half.

Yu Lan twitched her lips in embarrassment, and she glimpsed something under the chair. She put away her embarrassment, pushed aside the debris in front of her, and saw a door handle.

There must be something hidden underneath. Thinking of this, Yu Lan pulled the handle in front of her, and the floor under the chair was lifted up by her.

"This is..." Lucius spoke in surprise, and quickly walked to Yu Lan and wanted to reach out to pick up the thing on the ground, but found that an invisible force blocked him, just like when Yu Lan opened the church door.

The only difference was that Lucius was thrown out without any preparation.

Yu Lan picked up the treasure box on the ground and heard a reminder sound in her ear. She was stunned for a moment, then walked casually to Lucius who was helped up by his teammates and said, "Cultivator, are you okay?"

Lucius twitched his lips. Yu Lan's concern was really not sincere. He shook his head and looked at the box in Yu Lan's hand, looking at her in confusion.

Why wasn't she blown away?

That's of course because the protective mechanism protecting the treasure box detected the red mana of the same origin, so it did not reject Yu Lan.

Yu Lan chuckled. This trip was really interesting. The power to "protect" the church was black. When Yu Lan used the red power, it would resist her. The power to "protect" the box was red. When Lucius approached, it would resist him.

Among these, who is the real "protection" and who is the real "resistance"?

"Tinglan, can you open this box? This thing is hidden so deep, it must be an important item of the Old God Sect!"

Yu Lan nodded slightly and opened the box with one hand.

Inside the box inlaid with gems was a piece of fine red velvet, and between the red velvet was a piece of bone!

Lucius wanted to pick up the bone to see what it was, but Yu Lan turned around and refused: "Don't touch it."

"Why?" Lucius asked in confusion. Did Yu Lan want to keep it all for herself?

"If you don't want to be cursed." Yu Lan chuckled and closed the box: "The breath of the old god comes from here. I can feel his breath corroding this bone, but this bone is also resisting. Under the chair of the old god church is a cursed bone corroded by the power of the old god. It's really interesting."

Lucius's expression changed: "Cursed?"

"Yes." Yu Lan nodded and said, "That should be a rib. Judging from the size, it should be a child's rib. Normally, after a person dies, obsessions will not remain on the body, unless the resentment before death is extremely deep, so deep that the resentment attaches to the body and becomes a curse."

"Whose bones are these? Why are they cursed?" Lucius asked puzzledly: "Logically speaking, this should be a holy relic."

Holy relics include not only papyrus printed with doctrines, jewels and jades with scriptures carved on them, and various utensils used by famous believers, but also the believers themselves, that is, the flesh, blood, and bones of saints are also a sacred part of the sect. Therefore, some sects will make holy relics of their believers' corpses, blood, and various parts of their bodies after their death. Not only in the West, but also the relics of Buddhist monks who passed away are considered holy relics, but they are called differently in both sides.

"Perhaps this is a rib that the Old God Cult obtained through improper means. The deceased was unwilling, so he cursed his own bones and cursed those who used his bones."

But unfortunately, his curse did not work and was still used by the people of the Old God Sect, otherwise it would not have been preserved under this throne.

"It would be very dangerous if this thing gets leaked out, so let me keep it." As she said that, Yu Lan put the treasure box into her storage ring without giving Lucius any reaction.

Lucius gritted his teeth in anger. Why was this NPC stealing other people's things?

Yu Lan pretended not to notice Lucius's look. She looked towards the center of the courtyard and said, "Ascetic, what do you think we should do with the skeletons at the back?"

"What else can we do? They are no threat to us, right?" Lucius looked at Yu Lan in confusion. Yu Lan suddenly realized something. Yes, Lucius couldn't see that there was a thread connecting the skeletons of the undead outside.

She sighed and shook her head, even though there was no threat, Yu Lan wanted to untie their restraints, at least to get them out of the control of the church.

"You guys go back first, I'll see the deceased off."

"Okay." Lucius sighed in distress. This trip was a waste of effort. He found nothing. The only thing he found was snatched away by Yu Lan.

Lucius and his companions turned to leave. At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "I will go with you."

"Long Shiqing?" Lucius shouted, obviously dissatisfied with his teammate's taking the initiative.

Yu Lan looked back in surprise: "Oh?"

"Since there are so many corpses back there, as a trainee nun, I can't just sit there and watch." Long Shiqing lowered her head and held the silver jewelry in front of her chest, making it impossible to see her emotions.

"In that case, thank you very much." Yu Lan nodded to her with a smile. The two were about to go to the courtyard together, but were stopped by Lucius.

"Long Shiqing, do you want to disobey my orders?" Lucius gritted his teeth and whispered in Long Shiqing's ear.

Long Shiqing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her pretty face remained expressionless: "Sorry, Captain, I think Tinglan is hiding something from us, so..."

Lucius instantly understood what Long Shiqing meant. He immediately changed his expression, smiled with satisfaction and patted Long Shiqing on the shoulder: "In that case, then you work hard and report to me immediately if you find anything."

"Yes." Long Shiqing bowed slightly and respectfully sent Lucius away. After they disappeared from view, she raised her head again and walked to Yu Lan with an expressionless face: "Let's go."

Yu Lan couldn't understand what Long Shiqing was thinking, so she nodded calmly: "Please."
