Chapter 442: Chapter 108: Mysterious Church, Curse Fetus Just Formed (Request for Monthly Ticket)_2

[?]

[Your bad thoughts are at play again, but it doesn’t matter, you are just a small Curse Fetus now, no one will blame you.]

[What bad thoughts could a little baby have?]

[Under the protection of your "Cattle Prison" form, Xie Xiaochan ultimately escaped by luck. After Qi Lixiang wandered away, she dashed toward the church in the north. At the last moment, she rushed in, rushed into the courtyard filled with worshippers prostrating on the ground, and behind her was the meaningful gatekeeper with a large axe, who slowly closed the gate.]

[The moment the door closed, the sky suddenly darkened.]

[Without any hesitation, it felt like moving from daytime to deep night instantly, darkness enveloped the land, lit only by the faint light emitted by the moon covered by dark clouds.]

[Screams of extreme agony played tricks, turning into roaming black crows, echoing in every nook and cranny, weaving through the streets and alleys, whispers of dead spirits from Hell, complaints of residual souls from the human world.]

[Even as a Daoist, Xie Xiaochan was still terrified by such a spectacle. She was also very wary of the ordinary people trembling on the ground around her. She knew well that this was ruins, and these "ordinary people" might not be real humans at all; perhaps they had died already and were just walking corpses kneeling and praying here.]

[During this, many of those kneeling on the ground turned their eerie eyes to Xie Xiaochan, men and women, old and young, eagerly inviting her, "Young lady/sister/little sister/auntie... come, join us in prayer, pray for the protection of the Dark Mother Goddess."]

["Dark Mother Goddess?" Xie Xiaochan was alarmed; this church was clearly different from the Mother Goddess Church worshipped in reality, it must hold a huge secret if delved deeper.]

[She chose... She chose to decline their invitation, instead walking on the edge, not trying to provoke any anomalies here.]

[She walked through the corridors, her lively twin ponytails bouncing behind her head, gradually moving away from the church door, away from the unique mass sounds coming from the temple entrance, and came to a relatively secluded corner of the church courtyard, where she quietly waited.]

[In the corner, a group of plainly dressed men and women in hoods noticed Xie Xiaochan approaching, one of them asked, "Stranger, are you also here to seek the Divine’s Left Hand?"]

["No." Xie Xiaochan shook her head.]

[The leading man immediately became interested, "I see you are quite capable, want to join us? Look, our team is very strong, we have men, women, old people, children, want to join us for an adventure?"]

[As he spoke, the mentioned men and women lifted their hoods, revealing fanatical and sinister eyes, quietly fixating on Xie Xiaochan. Quietly, watching.]

[Xie Xiaochan hesitated briefly, noticing that they clearly weren’t normal, so she quickly refused, "No thanks."]

[Having said that, she decisively retreated and left the area amidst a few regretful looks, heading to a secluded part of another corridor.]

[Good, Xie Xiaochan, who lost her teammates, is a person of the heart like you, she decided to remain hidden until the end, never to trigger any potential problems she was unclear about.]

[Because she couldn’t defeat the boss in this space of ruins, she couldn’t leave directly and had to wait silently.]

[It was dark for a full twelve hours; the next morning, all the believers of the Mother Goddess finished their prayers and left without a word, their faces extremely cold, bearing deep wariness and hostility towards each other, as if they weren’t the ones who warmly called each other brothers and sisters like a family the night before.]

[Xie Xiaochan also hastened to leave the church, not wanting to stay a moment longer. As a Second Rank Seven-color Taoist, this was the most frustrating encounter she had in ruins.]

[Before leaving, she sneaked a peek at the entrance of the church, where there was a large circle of red candles, completely burned out, the wax like congealed plasma, with exactly seven people, men and women.]

[Their bodies were shriveled to the extreme, like deflated leather bags, just shriveled and sticking to the ground, their eyes revealing terror, ecstasy, anger, sadness, multiple emotions.]

["A sinister sacrifice? They offered a sacrifice to seek the protection of the Dark Mother Goddess?"]

[Xie Xiaochan was terrified, dared not to look further, and quickly fled the scene, feeling somewhat pleased with herself; judging by the expressions left on the sacrificed ones’ heads, it seemed that the believers were sacrificing more than just lives, but some sort of "emotion."]

[As a nearly max-level fully reached Great Perfection "Seven-color Taoist," Xie Xiaochan believed she alone could match up to seven of them.]

[Of course, she surely wasn’t willing to actually do that.]

[After leaving that eerie church, Xie Xiaochan didn’t continue to cause trouble, instead she found a ruin by herself and crouched down again.]

[A few more hours passed like that, and it finally marked the end of the burning in the Heart Fire Incense Burner she left outside. Without its assist, she faced repulsion from this space and her body uncontrollably got thrown out of the ruins, returning to the entrance.]

[Then, she decisively chose to transport directly back to the Female Void Palace located in the North Field’s D2B9 area.]

[After this setback, Xie Xiaochan became withdrawn for a full thirty minutes, readjusted her mindset, her desire to become stronger grew even more urgent, and she also realized her opportunity; she understood that some monsters in those ruins and her "Daoist" path seemed to have some connections, which would surely be her chance.]
