Chapter 563 You underestimate the power of the Witch Gu Cult
Queen Snake's nervous look also made Qiu Gongyue and Evelin become cautious.
Although the two of them are very confident in their own strength, they will not underestimate their opponents, especially after learning a lesson.
I originally thought that the internal environment of the Witch Gu Palace would be eerie and terrifying, but unexpectedly it turned out to be elegant and quiet, with no one making loud noises or moving around.
It's right to think about it. Although the Witch Gu Cult sounds like an ancient cult that came out of the Middle Ages, no one will give up the convenience of modern life. Even cultists still want to enjoy industrial products.
However, the Wu Gu Cult also pays attention to the decoration here. Traditional wood carvings and bead strings are hung everywhere, and various strange statues are erected on both sides of the road, which looks full of exotic style.
Under the leadership of believers, more than a hundred girls came to an altar that was obviously transformed from a large auditorium.
On both sides of the altar are two lifelike statues of evil spirits with ferocious faces. At first glance, they seem to be alive, which makes people shudder.
The girls did not dare to take a breath. Under the command of the believers, they sat cross-legged on the mats laid on the ground.
After waiting for more than half an hour, a beautiful mature woman dressed up slowly came over, climbed onto the altar, and stood between the two evil ghost statues.
This beautiful mature woman looks to be in her thirties, has a gorgeous appearance, and a sexy and voluptuous figure, which is unforgettable.
She is the confidant of the great wizard, nicknamed the Black Widow. She is a medium who can communicate with the dead or spirits. It is also up to her to select the suitable saint.
Black Widow is very famous in the Witch Gu Cult. Under the altar, many girls are looking up at her with reverence in their eyes.
The black widow looked at the group of young and beautiful girls below with a flash of disgust in her eyes, especially Qiu Gongyue and Evelin, who were the most beautiful ones. She stared at them for a long time.
Qiu Gongyue and Evelin both lowered their heads slightly, not looking at the black widow.
According to the information revealed by Queen Snake, Black Widow is not weak at all. She is almost the second most powerful person in the Witch Gu Sect. Except for the great wizard, no one is her opponent.
The black widow stood on the altar, muttering something in her mouth, then twisting some powder with her fingers and throwing it outwards.
Soon, a black circle was drawn out of thin air on the floor around a girl below.
This means that she was selected as a candidate for the Saint.
The girl cried with joy, while the others next to her looked at her with envy and jealousy.
If they can be selected as saints, their families outside will be able to receive a large amount of materials and money.
Black Widow did not stop, and more girls were selected.
However, Qiu Gongyue and Evelin remained silent.
Logically speaking, no matter their looks or temperament, they stand out among the hundreds of carefully selected girls and cannot be ignored at all.
But Black Widow just turned a blind eye to them.
Qiu Gongyue and Evelin were not surprised by this, because Queen Snake had already told them that this black widow, for some unknown reason, was very repulsive and disgusted with those beautiful women.
If it weren't for the image issue of the Witch Gu Cult, Black Widow would probably deliberately choose some ugly people to become saints.
After selecting a dozen people, Black Widow finally stopped chanting the curse, and neither Qiu Gongyue nor Evelin was selected.
"Lord Black Widow!"
The Queen Snake held a suitcase in her hand, quietly climbed onto the altar, and came to the Black Widow through the cover of the evil ghost statue.
Black Widow glanced at her, her eyes stayed on her gorgeous face for a few seconds, and then she said in a nonchalant manner: "It's you, it's still some time before the great wizard gives the elixir, why did you come here so early?
Already?"
The elixir refers to the antidote to the fatal poison, which the great wizard will give to his subordinates at a fixed time every year.
Most of the warlords active throughout Southeast Asia are also controlled by the Jue Ming Gu and have to obey the orders of the Witch Gu Cult.
"Of course I came earlier to listen to you and the great wizard's teachings."
Queen Snake laughed along with her, and then pointed at Qiu Gongyue and Evelin: "My subordinates have worked hard to find these two. They have the qualifications to be selected from a million, and they will definitely be able to meet the requirements of the Saint."
Black Widow glanced at the two of them and said calmly: "I am the one who selected the saint. Are you teaching me how to do things?"
"Of course not."
Queen Snake said with some fear: "I just hope you can be accommodating."
While speaking, she had already opened the suitcase in her hand.
Black Widow looked down and saw gold bars stacked inside, and her cold expression became slightly better.
Although she is very repulsive to beautiful women, she is very close to gold bars.
Queen Snake is also well aware of Black Widow's money-grubbing character, so she can handle it accurately.
"Forget it, for the sake of your good intentions, I will help you and I won't do it again."
Black Widow said calmly, then she took up a bunch of ashes again and threw them out.
A black circle was immediately drawn on the floor next to Qiu Gongyue and Evelin, indicating that they were also selected.
"Thank you, Lord Black Widow! Thank you, Lord Black Widow!"
Queen Snake thanked her profusely, put down her suitcase on her own initiative, and walked backwards away from the altar.
The girls who were not selected were filled with grief and were taken away sobbing softly.
The remaining dozen selected girls were gathered together and taken down by believers to prepare for their audience with the great wizard tomorrow.
Qiu Gongyue and Evelin mingled in the crowd and glanced at the Queen Snake in the distance.
Queen Snake cast a veiled look at the two of them.
She can only help so far. Whether they can successfully approach and assassinate the great wizard depends on their own performance.
More than a dozen girls were taken to an indoor heated pool filled with various weird medicinal materials, and then asked to go down and wash their bodies.
Qiu Gongyue and Evelin were extremely wary of witchcraft. Who knew if there might be something strange hidden in the pool that could get into their bodies while taking a bath.
Evelin simply used the hypnotic ability inherited from the assassins and hypnotized the several believers who were responsible for guarding. The two of them hid aside and did not go down.
After washing their bodies and putting on the prepared clothes, everyone was taken to the room to rest in groups of two. Qiu Gongyue and Evelin just happened to be together.
As soon as she entered the house, Qiu Gongyue relied on her extensive experience in installing cameras in Xu Cheng's home and noticed that there were at least four pinhole cameras hidden in the room.
Evelin subconsciously wanted to speak, but she noticed the look Qiu Gongyue cast towards her.
She understood in her heart, so she lay down on the bed in silence.
"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly."
She obviously didn't speak, but her voice clearly reached Qiu Gongyue's ears.
This is the air-distance sound transmission ability in the assassin's heritage, also called ventriloquism. It can condense the sound into a line and transmit it into the target's ears without opening the mouth.
Qiu Gongyue lay on her bed and also used the ability to transmit sounds through the air that she learned from Evelin.
"I feel a little strange."
"Strange? What's strange?"
"I can't tell, it's just intuition."
Qiu Gongyue has been a killer for so many years, and she has already developed some intuition, and she vaguely feels that something is wrong.
Before, she would have immediately chosen to end the mission and leave this place.
But now there are only ten days left of the fatal Gu in Dinah's body. Time is too tight. Even if it feels wrong, she can only continue.
The two of them were lying on the bed motionless, seemingly asleep, and no one could tell that they were communicating in private.
Early the next morning, at the urging of the believers, the girls got up one after another, gathered together after washing, and were taken to see the great wizard.
Everyone was nervous, including Qiu Gongyue and Evelin, who had to cheer up.
A dozen girls lined up in two lines, and the two of them happened to be walking at the front, passing through the complex indoor environment and arriving at the deepest part of the Witch and Gu Palace.
A somewhat dim corridor appeared in front of him, with no end in sight.
After entering the corridor, the atmosphere gradually became a bit eerie, with many lifelike ghost statues painted on the walls on both sides.
Evelin was keenly aware of the changes in the environment. The concentration of spirit seeds here was much stronger than outside.
She subconsciously looked towards her companion and found Qiu Gongyue with a calm face.
There were many forks in the middle of the corridor, and the girls following the two were gradually taken away. In a blink of an eye, they were left alone, with several believers staring at them eagerly, as if they were escorting them to the execution ground.
Even Evelin felt something was wrong at this time.
"Don't look around."
The believers behind scolded.
Qiu Gongyue didn't respond, and Evelin could only endure the increasingly bad premonition and continue to move forward.
Under the escort of several believers, the two of them walked all the way to the end of the corridor and entered a strange room. It was dark inside and it was impossible to see how big it was.
A large number of silk threads hung from the ceiling in the room, with various strange things tied to the ends. They were densely packed, forming a large curtain.
Evelin looked intently and felt her scalp numb for a moment.
I saw that these tied things were specimens of various animals, including toads, spiders, centipedes, poisonous snakes, and even newly developed baby embryos.
Bang!
There was a loud noise, and several believers had already pushed out and locked the large iron door at the entrance.
Evelin felt her heart beat a little faster. Although she had obtained the power inherited from the assassin, she did not have much combat experience.
On the contrary, Qiu Gongyue was extremely calm, her eyes passed through the layers of curtains and locked somewhere in the darkness for an instant.
She stepped forward, and Evelin quickly followed.
After passing through countless specimens, the two finally arrived at the deepest part of the room and saw two figures, one tall and one short.
The short one was an old man who was sitting cross-legged on the mat. He was about seventy or eighty years old. He was like a skinny skeleton. He was extremely old and thin. Even his hair had fallen out, leaving only a few strands.
This old man, who seemed to collapse at the slightest wind, was the leader of the witchcraft sect, the great wizard, who ruled half of Southeast Asia.
There was no grand residence or luxurious ostentation. He was like a dying old man, sitting quietly in such a dark room with his eyes closed.
And that tall figure turned out to be Queen Snake, standing next to the great wizard, looking at the two of them with a smile on his face, and an obvious sense of ridicule in his eyes.
Seeing Queen Snake here, Qiu Gongyue and Evelin's hearts suddenly sank. She said that it was difficult for her to see the great wizard, but now she appeared here with such a look.
Did she betray the two of them and violate the contract they signed?
Qiu Gongyue looked at Evelin, who had a solemn look on her face. She clearly felt that her contract with the Queen Snake was still there.
If the Queen Snake betrays or dies, the contract should be broken.
"You are here."
Queen Snake said: "I have been waiting for you here for a long time."
"How did you do that?"
Evelin was still in disbelief: "Why did you break the contract between us but nothing happened?"
Queen Snake covered her mouth and smiled sweetly: "That's because you underestimate the power of the Witch Gu Cult."
Evelin was about to continue speaking, but Qiu Gongyue raised her hand to interrupt: "She is not the Queen Snake, but the Black Widow."
Evelin was immediately startled: "What?"
Qiu Gongyue believed in her own vision. As a professional killer, even though it had only been two days, she had already figured out Queen Snake's tone, tone, and behavior.
Although the woman in front of her looks exactly like the Queen Snake, her tone of voice and behavior are slightly different. Instead, she looks more like the Black Widow whom she only met once yesterday.
"Oh, I have good eyesight, I saw through it so quickly."
The Black Widow pretending to be the Queen Snake couldn't help but praise: "I thought I was disguised very well."
Evelin asked: "Where is the Queen Snake?"
Black Widow did not answer, but said: "You two are guests from afar. Our Witch Gu Cult is very hospitable and has prepared a gift for you."
After saying that, she raised her hand to grab a thread next to her and pulled hard.
Bang!
Something seemed to fall from the ceiling, and it was pulled back by the silk thread tied to the body, swinging back and forth in the air.
Qiu Gongyue and Evelin looked up and held their breath at the same time.
What fell down was a person with blood-red muscles and blood vessels all over his body, and blood was still flowing on his body - it turned out to be a woman who had been skinned alive. She was not dead at the moment and was still breathing weakly.
Evelin was so shocked that her expression froze. She had already recognized that the skinned woman was the Queen Snake.
Immediately afterwards, a chill arose in her heart, and the Black Widow not only skinned the Queen Snake, but also wore her skin on her body.
Qiu Gongyue's eyes instantly became sharp and she looked at Black Widow.
Queen Snake is not a good person, and she is even worthy of death. After all, many innocent people died in her hands.
But the reason why she is suffering such torture now is because of Qiu Gongyue and Evelin.
"Oh, what a murderous intention."
Black Widow was almost knocked down by Qiu Gongyue's murderous wave, and took a step back to hide behind the great wizard: "Do you like this gift?"
"you!!"
Evelin came back to her senses and glared at her. If this mysterious wizard wasn't still there, she could hardly help but take action.
Qiu Gongyue felt that her murderous intention wave was resisted by the great wizard with his eyes tightly closed, and asked in a deep voice: "When did you find out?"
