Yu Lan smiled silently, reached out to support her cheek, and put her hand down silently when she didn't touch the familiar glasses. She interrupted the red-robed bishop's anger and said, "I can promise you, but the premise is that you tell me everything you are going to do, and you can't restrict my freedom."

As soon as the voice fell, everyone in the room looked at Yu Lan. To put it nicely, Yu Lan was the goddess they had found. To put it bluntly, Yu Lan was just a chess piece they had captured.

What right do chess pieces have to be free? They took a step closer without making a sound, and suddenly found that they had been entangled with red silk threads without knowing when.

"Don't think I'm a soft persimmon." Yu Lan raised her hand, and saw red silk threads wrapped around her left hand, and the other ends of the threads were connected to the red-robed believers.

The silk threads had already sunk into their clothes. If they made the slightest movement, the threads would suddenly sink into their skin and tear them in half.

“Hahahahahahahaha…” The old woman suddenly let out a strange laugh. She stared at Yu Lan intently: “You are worthy of being the child I have chosen… No problem, I promise you.”

As she spoke, she waved her hand and said, "Take the goddess to the room."

The two red-robed believers behind him bowed respectfully and politely asked Yu Lan to go with them. Yu Lan looked at the old man deeply, then turned around and left with the red-robed believers.

After Yu Lan left, the red-robed bishop laughed out loud: "That evil creature probably never expected this, God is really helping me!"

"Don't be happy too soon." The old man looked at the cane in his hand and said meaningfully: "That woman is not a simple person. If she wants to accomplish our goal, she is not qualified yet."

"I understand, Archbishop." The red-robed bishop smiled slyly, "Don't worry, I have arranged everything."

The old man called the Archbishop sneered and walked away with his cane.

At the same time, a green light flashed across the silent night, and a man in gorgeous sacrificial robes hurried to the back of the hall. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the person lying on the stone stool was safe and sound.

He cast a spell to sense the temple, and only left after confirming that there was no sign of anyone having been there. After leaving the temple, several people in black robes showed surprised expressions when they saw him.

"High Priest, why are you back?"

The high priest was silent for a while, and his voice under the black robe sounded unexpectedly young: "I noticed some movement in Carmel, so I came back to check."

"What, the Old God?!" The black-robed men who were asking questions became alert after hearing the name of the Old God: "We will increase patrols immediately. Sir, has the God given any oracle?"

The high priest shook his head, and the men in black robes showed regretful expressions. God had not given them any oracle, so they inevitably felt that they had been abandoned.

But they soon cheered up, and the high priest didn't say much: "Do your best to protect the temple, and don't let the people of the old gods touch the treasures of God."

"Yes!"

The men in black robes responded and left, leaving the high priest standing alone outside the temple.

He looked up at the solemn and majestic temple behind him. Upon closer inspection, he could see tattered cracks everywhere beneath the gorgeous decorations.

This temple has been decaying since the time of the old gods, and now it seems that it can no longer hold out for much longer. The high priest sighed helplessly. He had been feeling uneasy since he saw the woman in red today, and he hoped that his premonition would not come true.

After all, they are so similar, and the latter has white hair...

The two red-robed cultists took Yu Lan to her room, and she found herself back under the rocky forest. She even met Lucius and the others here.

Lucius and the others had never seen Yu Lan's face, but they recognized her identity from the lantern in her hand.

"Tinglan?! Why are you here?" Lucius asked in surprise. The black robes they were wearing had changed color, indicating that the Red Church had allowed them to join.

Before Yu Lan could answer, the two red-robed believers beside her angrily rebuked Lucius in a very serious tone: "This is our goddess! You have to respect her!"

Lucius looked doubtful. What? The goddess?

The wandering NPC who was just following him suddenly turned into the goddess of the church he had joined? How fast?

But soon, his attention was attracted by Yu Lan's white hair. It was the first time he saw a white-haired NPC in this dungeon. Recalling the information he had collected, Lucius's face suddenly changed.

He smiled ingratiatingly at the two red-robed believers beside him: "I know the goddess. Where are you going? If possible, I would like to go with you."

This person completely forgot how directly he had sold Yu Lan before.

The two red-robed believers hesitated, and Yu Lan just found it funny. She lowered her eyebrows and curled her lips to smile, which was an inexplicable weirdness under the blue candlelight.

"It's okay, let them come together." Yu Lan said, "They are all from your church, so it doesn't matter."

"Goddess, you are wrong. It should be 'we'." One of the red-robed believers corrected.

"Whatever." Yu Lan waved her hand and took the lead: "Let's go."

The two red-robed believers looked at each other. The goddess meant something special to their church, so they had no choice but to agree.

The group walked in silence. The road was rugged. Yu Lan no longer remembered how many paths they crossed and how many turns they made. She only remembered that they walked down for a long time.

An iron gate appeared in front of them, and the red-robed believer pushed it open and said, "We're here."

Yu Lan looked inside the room. There were no windows, only a bed, a pair of tables and chairs, and some unclear scratches on the floor.

This is not a room for the goddess, it is a place to imprison people.

Yu Lan walked into the room leisurely. The red-robed believer behind her only said "Have a good rest" and left. Before leaving, he took away Yu Lan's lantern.

The iron door behind him slowly closed, taking away the last bit of light for Yu Lan. The whole room was so quiet that only the sound of one person's breathing could be heard.

Yu Lan groped her way to the bed and sat down. The darkness came over her like a tide, making her feel as if she was drowning and having difficulty breathing.

She closed her eyes, trying hard to forget the fear in her heart.

Alone in the darkness again, she still couldn't bear the loneliness of being abandoned.

Yu Lan endured it for a while, but she couldn't bear it anymore, so she took out the flashlight from her storage ring with tears in her eyes.

Haha, you never expected that, little bastard.

The small flashlight could illuminate the entire room. Yu Lan placed the flashlight where it would not flash in her eyes and then lay back on the bed.

"Hiss, something is hitting my head..." Yu Lan reached out and touched it, then put the thing in front of her eyes and was slightly stunned after seeing clearly what it was.

It was the hairpin that Erwin gave her.

"Oh my, which little brother gave you this token of love?"

Yu Lan blushed inexplicably. She cleared her throat and sat up with a somersault. Then she pushed the talkative little paper man out through the crack in the door and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Go out and help me find out the situation."

"Oh my~" the little paper figurine made a teasing sound: "Lanlan, are you shy?"

"I didn't!" Yu Lan puffed up her face angrily. After sending the little paper man away, she sat on the bed and stared at the hairpin in her hand in a daze.

The high priest I saw today...although I didn't see her face, that must be her illusion.

The little paper man went out to gather intelligence for several days and did not come back. Yu Lan leaned against the wall and fell asleep and woke up, woke up and fell asleep again, over and over again several times. She felt that time had become blurred.

No one came to see her, which made her feel a little bored.

"Oh, if I had known, I would have made a clone and gone out to play." Yu Lan sighed helplessly, and looked into the storage ring to see if there was anything to entertain her. At this time, a flat head popped in from the crack of the iron door: "Lan Lan, someone is coming!"

When Yu Lan heard this, she quickly put away the flashlight and sat on the bed, pretending nothing had happened. After a while, the archbishop came over with a group of people.

The heavy iron door was opened from the outside. The old man looked at the calm Yu Lan with his cloudy eyes, feeling a little dissatisfied.

She tapped her cane, and someone came forward holding something.

They put the things beside the bed. Yu Lan couldn't see clearly in the dim light, so she could only ask in a groping way: "What does this mean?"

"This is the clothing a goddess should wear. Do you want to change it yourself, or do you want us to help you?" the archbishop said unhappily.

Yu Lan chuckled and tucked up the hair beside her ears: "Although I can wear it, I still hope you can return my clothes. That robe was given to me by my elders at home. I like it very much."

"No problem." The archbishop said, "Anything else? If you want to ask about food or something, then I can only tell you with regret that the goddess cannot eat before the ceremony. Mortal food will pollute the goddess's pure body."

When the archbishop said this, Yu Lan immediately understood their intention.

To put it nicely, she is a goddess. To put it bluntly, they treated Yu Lan as a ritual sacrifice.

She couldn't help but laugh. It had been a long time since she was used as a sacrifice again.

"No problem." Yu Lan said indifferently. She still had food in her storage ring, so there was no rush. Instead, she was very curious about what kind of ritual the archbishop wanted to use her as a sacrifice. Was he going to summon the god of light, Carmel, to descend upon her?

"If that's the case, that's good." The Archbishop was quite satisfied with Yu Lan's understanding. It didn't matter if the long-term torture of darkness didn't break her spirit. The plan could be carried out as usual and the final result would be the same.

"In that case, we'll take our leave first." The archbishop nodded slightly at Yu Lan, turned around and left without waiting for Yu Lan to respond, with a superficial attitude.

The heavy iron door was slowly closed, and the little paper man poked his head out. After a long while, he came back and said, "Everyone is gone."

Yu Lan nodded, but didn't take out the flashlight immediately. After a while, someone knocked on the door and brought in a dark red robe.

The man lowered his head slightly and did not hold a torch to illuminate the area. Yu Lan could not see his face clearly, so she was more cautious.

The man put the things down in silence and stood there without moving. Yu Lan did not make a move either. After a while, a deep and hoarse female voice sounded: "Xiao Yu."

"Poetry?" Yu Lan replied with some surprise, and then heard a sob from the other side.

"Xiao Yu... I'm sorry..." Long Shiqing cried softly. Her hoarse voice showed that she had been crying for a long time before she came.

Yu Lan stood up and took two steps forward. She couldn't see the direction of Long Shiqing, so she reached out her hand and groped in the direction of the voice, then hugged Long Shiqing, who was crying with her head down, in her arms.

"Okay, okay, why are you crying? Nothing's wrong with me right now."

"No, this is all my fault." Long Shiqing's tears flowed even harder after being hugged by Yu Lan: "Lucius wanted to pass the level quickly. He wanted to absorb your power to increase the power of other people in the team. If I wasn't strong enough, he wouldn't have teamed up with the Red Church to capture you."

Yu Lan was both angry and amused. She patted Long Shiqing's back to comfort her for a while, then said confidently, "Don't worry, they can't hurt me. But you, why are you in an S-level copy? You shouldn't be S-level now."

The two of them entered the game world at almost the same time. Yu Lan used a cheat to enter the A-level copy early and ended it early, but how could Long Shiqing, an ordinary player, enter the S-level copy so quickly.

Long Shiqing wiped her tears and whispered, "After I separated from you, I received an invitation from a guild and I accepted it."

At the beginning, everything was fine. The members of the guild would help each other. Long Shiqing passed the B-level dungeon with the help of the members. She thought she would build the foundation step by step to the A-level like other players, but she didn't expect that before entering the second B-level dungeon, the president of her guild found her and taught her a way to quickly improve her strength.

Yu Lan had a bad feeling in her heart, and she quickly asked, "What is it?"

"Yes..." When talking about this, Long Shiqing was still afraid: "The president asked us to find the core of that copy, and then use the method he taught us to set up the formation. In this way, the power of that copy will be absorbed by the formation and transferred to us. This is a way to make us stronger quickly."

She only used it once and didn't dare to use it again, because she found that if she activated the formation, all the players in the dungeon except her would die, and even the dungeon would be damaged to a certain extent. That scene was so horrible that Long Shiqing didn't dare to recall it, nor did she dare to continue.

"Sacrifice all the people in the copy, and also cause a certain degree of damage to the copy?" Yu Lan asked, her voice very meaningful.
