Daring! She cheated in the thriller game
Chapter 277 Falling into a trap
"Wait!" The red-robed bishop tried to stop Yu Lan from leaving, but he saw a figure leaving under the red spell. He looked at the light of the spell in front of him in shock. Who is Yu Lan? Why does she have the breath of the old gods when she casts spells? !
Yu Lan didn't know how big a "surprise" she had left for the red-robed bishop.
She left the rocky forest, concealing her breath, and waited until there was no one around before she opened her storage ring and took out the four boxes.
She opened the boxes one by one, and found different human body parts inside: eyeballs, ears, a piece of human skin, and the rib that Yu Lan got at the beginning.
I turned around and looked at the system backend prompt. The names displayed on it were all [Sacrificial XXX]. Judging from the curse aura above, it was obviously the same sacrifice.
"Lanlan, now that we have the things, what do you want to do?" The little paper man followed Yulan's instructions and, right under the nose of the red-robed bishop, replaced the things in the stone chamber with fakes that Yulan had disguised with magic, and added the same magical aura.
I don’t know when the Red Cardinal will find out.
"I'm curious about who this sacrifice is, and how many parts it has." Yu Lan placed her hand lightly above the ribs. The curse on it sensed the breath of a living person and began to surge madly, trying to attach to the hands, but was suppressed by Yu Lan who ruthlessly closed the lid.
"Now, let's go to the main city first." Yu Lan took out the Hanquan Jade Incense Burner, and the cold air that came out automatically gathered into a misty line and floated away into the distance.
Before this, Yu Lan had placed something on the leader of the camel caravan. As long as she cast a little magic, she could follow the breath of that thing.
Judging from this direction, the leader of the camel caravan should be heading to the main city, which happens to coincide with Yu Lan's goal.
Without further ado, Yu Lan cast a spell to shrink the earth into an inch, and soon left this place and arrived outside the main city.
As the name of Red Shadow City suggests, the sand in the desert is all yellow, while the sand near Red Shadow City is all a dull red, which looks very strange when paired with the black main city.
Yu Lan followed the scent here and became suspicious when she saw the very familiar city gate.
"Lanlan, what's wrong? Aren't you going in?" asked the little paper man.
"No, nothing." Yu Lan shook her head and suppressed the doubts in her heart.
Chiying City is worthy of being the main city. Although most of the buildings in the city are black, you can see that the workmanship is very good. Before entering the city, you can hear the bustling sounds of people coming and going.
Yu Lan walked slowly to the city gate and was stopped by the guard at the gate. He looked Yu Lan up and down and said, "Who are you and why are you covering your face? Take off your hood!"
Yu Lan felt that after Li Shixi's disguise, it shouldn't matter if she took off her hood now. She reached out and pinched a corner of the hood and was about to take it off when she suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from the city, and then the guard in front of her respectfully walked aside and bowed his head.
Seeing Yu Lan still standing there in a daze, he quickly pulled her aside and said, "The high priest is here, don't be rude!"
High priest? Is he the high priest of the new god?
Yu Lan was confused, but she still stood aside and bowed her head respectfully like the guards. After a while, several people carried a luxurious sedan chair out of the city gate.
When the sedan chair passed by Yu Lan, she looked up, wanting to see what the high priest looked like.
At this moment, the person in the sedan seemed to have sensed something and looked down outside the sedan.
The wind in the desert was not gentle. It swept across the crowd violently, lifting the black gauze curtain on the sedan and the hoods of the two people in robes.
The two looked at each other in surprise, then immediately looked away, their hearts filled with shock.
While everyone around her was bowing their heads in greeting, Yu Lan quickly entered the city and disappeared into the crowd, while the high priest on the sedan chair went deep into the desert under the protection of the guards. Both of them tacitly did not ask why the other was here.
Yu Lan trotted along until there was no one around and then stopped. She calmed down a little, and then continued to follow the instructions of the incense burner to a courtyard.
She knocked on the door. The person inside felt strange when hearing the noise, but still came to open the door.
"I'm here! Sorry, boss, we've sold out today's goods. How about you come another day..." Before he could finish his words, the camel team leader was so surprised when he saw the red-robed woman standing in front of him that he almost shouted out loud.
"Sir!" The camel team leader called out softly, "You're back. Are you okay?"
Yu Lan shook her head slightly: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."
"Hey, look at me." The camel team leader looked around and confirmed that there was no one around before ushering Yu Lan in: "Master, please come in."
Yu Lan nodded slightly, and after entering the house, she said directly: "I have something I want to investigate, and before that I need your help."
"Of course, sir, just tell me what you want me to do." The camel team leader said bluntly. Regardless of Yu Lan's identity, the fact that she brought them back from the depths of the desert and saved him when they met the red-robed swordsman made the camel team leader help Yu Lan no matter what she said.
"This matter is a bit dangerous. You should think about it carefully." After hesitating for a while, Yu Lan said, "After all, this involves matters between two religions. If you are discovered, you will die."
The leader of the camel caravan was stunned. He didn't expect things to be so serious.
While the camel team leader was thinking about it, Yu Lan took out some gems with little magical power from her storage ring. It should be given to her by her family as funds. After all, jewelry is hard currency when the currency is unclear.
The crisp sound of the gems colliding awakened the camel team leader's thoughts. He looked at the jewels in front of him in surprise: "This..."
"If you agree, the jewels are yours. If you don't, I will delete all your memories of me, and we will say goodbye."
"Oh, sir, what are you saying?" The camel team leader looked at Yu Lan seriously and said, "I won't take your jewelry. Sir, just tell me. I will help you no matter what!"
Yu Lan breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't show it on her face. She walked to the table and sat down, saying, "I want to know what's going on in the city now. Can you explain it to me?"
This was not a difficult problem. The camel caravan leader immediately agreed and took out a map.
He explained to Yulan until late at night, and his mouth was dry. Yulan finally understood the current situation in the city.
She tapped the center of the map. "You mean, the old god's temple hasn't been demolished and is still in the center of town?"
"Yes, it has been converted into the temple of the new god. But we cannot touch the temple. The only person who is qualified to enter the temple is the high priest."
"High Priest..." Yu Lan was in a dilemma. She wanted to investigate the temple, but didn't want to confront the high priest directly.
"Sir, do you want to go in?" The camel team leader looked at Yu Lan cautiously. "The high priest is not in the temple now. He will randomly go to a town every two months to check the situation. These two days happen to be the days when he is out."
What this means is that if you want to enter the temple, you can only do so during these two days.
"Okay." Without further ado, Yu Lan did not hesitate any longer. She stood up, adjusted her cloak, and went out, leaving the camel team leader alone, staring at her back, with a gleam in his eyes.
"Huh... weird, why am I standing at the door?"
The camel team leader scratched his head and walked into the door in confusion.
Yu Lan carefully followed the route on the map to avoid the patrols of the city guards. It was late at night and most people in the city had gone to bed, but it was inevitable that there would still be some unconventional people hanging around.
The patrol route of the guards was right in front of them, and it was difficult to avoid them because there was no cover. Yu Lan thought about it and walked into the alley next to her to take a detour.
Just as she turned around, a net made of red silk threads fell from the sky and tied up Yu Lan tightly. Then several big men in long robes and cloaks jumped out, picked up Yu Lan, covered her mouth with one hand and knocked her unconscious. When Yu Lan woke up again, she found herself in a pitch-black place.
Yu Lan rubbed the back of her neck which was aching, and she suddenly found that her cloak was gone.
Just as she was surprised, layers of candles suddenly lit up around her. A group of people in red robes stood around Yu Lan, each holding a candle in their hands. It looked very strange.
Yu Lan looked at them warily and touched her fingers. Very good, the storage ring was still on her hand.
"Are you from the Red Church?"
Yu Lan asked, but no one answered.
They were silent, but the burning eyes looked straight at Yu Lan through the red cloak, as if the gaze was real, which made Yu Lan feel very uncomfortable.
"Welcome back, sir—"
A vicissitudes of life voice sounded from the crowd. Yu Lan looked towards the place where the voice came from, only to see an old woman with a hunched back walking out of the crowd. In her hand was a cane made of a skull and spine. She was thin, but her eyes, which were deeply sunken, were wide open. She was looking at Yu Lan with a very fanatical look.
Yu Lan glanced at her crutches and asked calmly, "Who are you? What did you do to capture me?"
"My lord, no... Goddess, you misunderstood." At this time, a familiar voice came, and the cardinal walked to the old man, and his voice was also a little fanatical: "We didn't capture you, all this is arranged by fate! The God of Light sent you to us, and it was God who gave us guidance! Let you lead us to dispel the darkness and welcome the light!"
What is this? Yu Lan was a little confused.
At this time, the old man walked towards Yu Lan step by step, looking at her hair greedily. She couldn't help but want to touch it, but she stopped trembling when she was about to touch it.
She couldn't help but let out a weird laugh, muttering, "Hehehehe...all this is God's will, God's will!"
As he spoke, the old man seemed to have thought of something, his eyes suddenly became full of resentment, and he tightly grasped the skull on his cane in his hand.
Looking closer, Yu Lan confirmed what she had been thinking. The aura on the crutch was exactly the same as the aura on the body parts of the four sacrifices. It seemed that it was also a part of the sacrifice's body.
Got to find a way to get it.
Yu Lan lowered her eyes, clenched her hands in the air, and summoned a locust wood lantern. She moved the lantern, and the flame on the lantern instantly grew larger, and the candles in the hands of the believers around her suddenly became fiercer, and the flames turned blue.
The faint blue firelight illuminated the entire room. Yu Lan saw that it was similar to a lobby. There were strange stripes under the feet, which seemed to be a magic circle.
And she herself was standing in the center of this magic circle.
"My Lord, stop struggling in vain." The red-robed bishop smiled and couldn't help but feel relieved. Fortunately, he felt that there was something strange about Yu Lan, so he called the red-robed leader to ask. If you don't ask, you won't know. Once you ask, you will get a lot. I didn't expect Yu Lan to have white hair! That is the symbol of God! You must not let Yu Lan run away!
So they summoned the believers hidden in the city to wait for Yu Lan and captured her.
The white-haired woman lowered her head to think, and the people around her did not urge her. After a while, she raised her head and looked directly at the red-robed bishop. Her deep black eyes made him feel cold in his heart.
"Tell me clearly what you want to do."
"Tinglan, you are one in a million." The red-robed bishop pondered for a while and said, "Everyone carries sin since he was born, but our God, Carmel, can cleanse our sins!"
"But some people are very lucky. They are born with pure white bodies. They are the children of God! They are the ones who can bring us light and hope!"
"Tinglan, you are that kind of person!"
Yu Lan fell into a strange silence. Suddenly, she touched her hair and said, "Because I have white hair?"
"Yes!" the red-robed bishop said excitedly, "Only the purest and most innocent people are born with white hair, while those with sins have other colors. And those with deep sins..."
As he spoke, the red-robed bishop's face suddenly twisted, as if he remembered something particularly unpleasant: "Those who are born with black hair should be damned."
"laugh."
A hint of disdainful laughter suddenly rang out in the silent room.
"Who!" The red-robed bishop was furious and looked around.
Yu Lan lowered her eyes. People would laugh out loud when they were extremely speechless. She wanted to laugh just now, but managed to hold it back.
After listening to what the red-robed cardinal said, she felt it was absurd. Why should hair color be used to determine whether a person is guilty or not? This reason was too speechless.
No wonder Lin Qing wanted her to change her appearance, it turned out that it was not because of her face, but the focus was on her hair color. It seems that Lin Qing also knows something about this copy. So, Yu Lan chose white hair but Lin Qing did not say anything to stop her, which shows that white hair is a very important point.
It can be pursued further.
