When the wooden sticks wrapped in cotton cloth were ignited one after another, the fire jumped from the wall, completely illuminating the entire underground temple. The smoke from the burning grease floated faintly around the countless tools on the wall.
Among the statues, Lin Sanjiu was reminded of the fishy breath in the nose of the Mother Goddess.
"Human oil," a fallen species suddenly bent down and smiled at the two of them as they passed by. "The torches are soaked in human oil."
After saying that, it raised its feet and walked away.
There was no reason - it obviously just wanted to tell them this detail.
Lin Sanjiu lay on the ground, unable to say a word, staring closely at the fallen species that had walked away. Beside it and behind it, more and more fallen species flowed out of the entrance like a swarm of insects.
Come down and gather together, making the underground temple look like a field plagued by locusts.
However, even if so many fallen species were gathered, they would probably still be less than a fraction of the number of idols.
...Lin Sanjiu had never seen so many statues in her life.
The underground temple occupies a vast area, and even with her eyesight, she cannot see the edge of the ceiling; even the farthest corners are still shrouded in darkness that cannot be touched by firelight.
At this time, this astonishingly huge underground space was filled with statues of the Mother Goddess.
Pottery, clay, wood, stone, iron, the materials of the statues are all inclusive. It seems that no matter what the material is, as long as it can depict the appearance of the mother goddess, it has been used to make statues. Even the stone walls are covered with
There are reliefs; there are big and small statues of gods, the largest is as tall as a person, and the smallest is probably only as long as a finger——
The Mother Goddess closest to the two of them is about the same size as a human, with her lips raised high. There are smaller Mother Goddess standing on her head and shoulders, and her raised hand is densely penetrated.
There were dozens of smaller statues of gods; in the clothes she was wearing, almost every space that had a gap was filled with a mother goddess of the same appearance.
At a glance, the density of the Mother Goddess in the underground temple has almost reached a disgusting level.
Hundreds of fallen species were now crowded into the last open space in the center of the temple, forming a semicircle. I don’t know which fallen species dragged the unknown evolver over who was covered in blood, and threw him away.
On the ground - the firelight was blocked by layers of statues, and when it hit the ground it was already dim. Only a silver ring on the ring finger of the man's left hand was glowing slightly.
A fallen species coughed twice happily, stepped forward, grabbed the evolved person's head by its hair. The eyes on that unfamiliar face were still closed.
"Oops, wait, I almost forgot," a fallen species standing next to the priest suddenly said, "We should call the previous ones down to watch the baptism together."
This proposal seemed to be welcomed immediately - the fallen species laughed hummingly and immediately sent out a few and left through the entrance.
Lin Sanjiu fell to the ground. From the corner of his eye, he could only see those deformed blue paws running past him; not long after, they hurried back again - this time, behind the fallen species, they followed.
There were several pairs of human feet with soft lines and rough and cracked skin; it was obvious that they had brought several women with them.
...Of course, it takes a little imagination to see that these are human feet.
"Just sit here," one of the fallen species said with a smile, "Look, you are going to have two more compatriots soon. It will be great to watch the baptism and get to know new friends at the same time."
As soon as it finished speaking, a slime-like tail-like thing behind it swung violently, pushing the three women down at once, and then without a second glance, turned around and walked back——
It seems that it is very clear that once these people fall down, they will definitely not be able to stand up by their own strength.
Feeling a shadow covering her face, Lin Sanjiu turned her eyes hard.
When a huge belly came into her sight, she was even startled.
Looking at it up close, the belly is even more shocking - as the fetus grows, the skin of the belly is torn, healed, and torn again, covered with layers of cracks and scars, oozing with yellow
The skin was stretched into a thin layer of oil, as if it was about to explode.
Looking down her swollen legs with bulging veins, you can see an iron chain sticking out of one ankle and pierced into the other ankle; although the root of the iron chain has been covered by proliferated tissue,
But because of the few steps he took just now, he was still bleeding.
"The chains are wrapped around my ankle bones," a breathless bass voice suddenly startled Lin Sanjiu, who was dumbfounded, "so as long as I walk, the wound will open and it will never heal."
Lin Sanjiu had seen a lot of miserable and terrifying scenes; but as soon as she saw the protruding shape of the chain under her skin, she immediately moved her eyes away, and a rush of stomach acid rushed up her throat - she saw
Not seeing the face of the speaker, but the woman's tone, there was a trace of calmness that was completely incomprehensible.
"I know you can't talk now, and that's how I came here too." From above the head, the woman's voice continued to be heard, and something was strange somewhere. "... Take a good look at this baptism, and my belly, my
Feet... Of the captured female heretics, there are only three of us left alive, but the two of them have long been stupid."
Lin Sanjiu was almost driven crazy by all the questions, but she couldn't do anything but blink hard.
"Shh," the woman still shushed even though she knew she couldn't speak. "Look, the baptism is about to begin."
Before she finished speaking, she heard the group of fallen species in front suddenly burst out with a chorus of shouts, which shocked Lin Sanjiu, who was nervous at this moment, and her heart skipped a beat - when it became clear that what they were reciting was just an oracle.
, she breathed a sigh of relief again in confusion.
"The eyes of the true God will always follow us, everywhere. She is omniscient and omnipotent." The fallen species whispered like they were singing. After one of the fallen species finished singing this sentence, he suddenly shook his arm and took off his clothes.
The robe. It was covered with short green sprouts, and when it walked, it looked like a huge, disgusting sea anemone. The fallen species reached out and grabbed the collar of the evolver and pulled him up from the ground.
"Those who follow God will not die and will enjoy everlasting life; anyone who disobeys God can be killed."
The fallen species lowered his head and smelled the male evolver's face, as if he was satisfied - two fleshy whiskers protruding from the eye sockets slowly slid across his cheeks.
Lin Sanjiu felt nauseated.
"It seems that he was just transferred here not long ago," the woman, who seemed to be permanently out of breath due to the weight of the fetus in her belly, whispered with some difficulty: "I don't know who should envy whom between me and him.
"
What's the meaning?
As soon as this idea came up, the woman behind me spoke. "They won't do anything to women right away. After taking away the special items and figuring out the evolutionary ability, if you can control it, then control it, like me; if you can't control it,
If you do, you will be baptized like a male evolved person. Oh, by the way, my evolutionary ability is mind reading - so if you have any questions, just ask them, I can hear them."
There was a strong sense of self-deprecation in her tone.
Mind reading, no wonder she was controlled——
"Yeah, it's totally useless. They are eager to spit everything they want to do in my face." The woman behind said with a sneer.
Lin Sanjiu's stomach felt heavy.
After the oracle finished reciting, the fallen species suddenly hissed, as if it was very happy, and pinched the evolver's chin, forcing him to open his mouth; then, it opened the
The black hole - a thick fleshy tongue covered in mucus, stretched out bit by bit from the hole; it was already coiling outside as long as a water pipe, but the fleshy tongue still seemed to have no end.
"Ah, yes," the woman's voice murmured.
She trailed off when she heard a "plop" sound, and the thick fleshy tongue suddenly sank into the mouth of the evolved person - the middle of the fleshy tongue seemed to be hollow, and there were streams of something flowing from the body of the fallen species, along the way.
The tongue of flesh flowed into the man's belly, and his belly quickly swelled up like a balloon.
Every muscle on the male evolutionist's face could not help but tremble. However, he had just struggled a few times in a coma, and with a fierce thrust of his fleshy tongue, he suddenly stopped moving again, and his body hung down softly.
.
"The internal organs are mashed," the woman explained calmly behind her, "...spit the mucus in first, and then mashed the internal organs."
Why?
"You will know soon," accompanied by the woman's voice, several fallen species approached the male evolved man, pulled his mouth open, and looked through the hole that was dug out. One of the hands
There is also something like a flashlight on the top - I don’t know which world it came from.
"Listen, we don't have much time," the woman suddenly spoke faster and lowered her voice: "As soon as the baptism is over, they will come to test your evolutionary ability. Is your ability strong? Can you be defeated?
Control it?"
Lin Sanjiu was shocked, and reflexively suppressed her thoughts, forcing herself to turn her mind to other things, instead of thinking about her ability to evolve - until she understood the situation, she did not dare to trust this woman at all;
For a woman who had been imprisoned and abused, her attitude was strangely calm.
"Oh? You don't believe me and don't want me to know your abilities..." The woman's voice lowered and she said noncommittally. "You can't see it. If you don't cooperate, you will end up like me.
Yet?"
So first tell me, what is going on with your belly? What is your purpose?
Lin Sanjiu asked silently in her heart.
The fallen species have simply broken away from the human structure and do not have the ability to conceive - could they be those men with thin bodies and numb expressions outside?
"It's not them," the woman read every word in her heart, and suddenly said it very urgently, and the words burst out as if they were squeezed out of her throat - and then she heard a completely incompetent sound coming from behind.
There was a self-controlled vomiting sound, and a splash of acidic water splashed on the floor, immediately creating a sour smell.
"Those men have not evolved," she said before finishing her sentence, and said "Uh-huh" again, which even caused several degenerates to look this way: "...And, adultery between men and women is in the doctrine.
It is a mortal sin that all men must remain virgins until death."
Huh?
The third time there was only water left in the vomit, dripping from the woman's body onto the floor: "...Every woman will be handed over to the Mother Goddess, and when she comes back, she will -"
The loud sound of vomiting interrupted her again, and several degenerates took two suspicious steps towards this direction; probably seeing that the woman was just vomiting, they stopped again.
"Don't make me think," the tone that had always been calm suddenly became distorted, as if it was about to collapse, revealing a hint of hysteria. Lin Sanjiu anxiously repeated it countless times in her heart before finally comforting her.
After living for a while, the voice he called her lowered again: "...Don't let me think of it! Anyway, in short... there are six fetuses at a time, once every three months. After a few years of raising the children, they will be
Hand it over to get pregnant..."
Lin Sanjiu thought of the voice of the Mother Goddess again - the kind of voice that sounded like a man raising his voice, deliberately pretending to be a woman's voice. Goosebumps suddenly appeared all over his body. She - let's call him "she" -
— Are you relying on this method to continue to increase your number of followers?
Lin Sanjiu did not dare to ask the Mother Goddess in her mind how she did it. She was afraid that the woman would collapse this time.
"Yes," the woman gasped, "...I don't know how many years have passed since the end of this world, but the people you see are all here."
Lin Sanjiu was so surprised that her thinking stopped for a moment. Just as she was about to ask the next question in her mind, she heard a sudden commotion from the group of fallen species not far away - and then some whistled a few times.
It seems to be celebrating.
She quickly raised her eyes and was stunned.
The fallen species carrying the corpse of the evolved person let go as if performing a show, and the corpse fell down immediately - but when it was about to fall to the floor, the corpse suddenly tilted its body, and then stretched out a hand.
, holding on to the ground. Then, he stood up unsteadily, with a "wave" sound, his eyeballs fell from his face, and rolled not far away in front of Lin Sanjiu and the other two.
Lin Sanjiu stared at the standing figure and understood.
"If they do this, the dead people are likely to become fallen species... This is baptism. It is not the Mother Goddess who destroys the world, so she tries not to kill the evolvers, because in that case, in addition to getting a corpse, she
You can't get anything." The woman lowered her voice, "...many of these degenerates were once women. Because I couldn't control myself, I simply baptized them - I saw at least five or six of them.
It’s happened once. I don’t know which of us should envy whom.”
She said this again.
What are you going to do? Lin Sanjiu felt the hairs on her back suddenly stand up with a gust of cool wind.
The fallen species in the distance were still buzzing and buzzing, not knowing what they were doing.
"Today is your lucky day, because I was finally assigned to make an iron statue." She said vaguely, and the coolness of the metal touched Lin Sanjiu's carotid artery. "Don't worry, I will help.
This favor of yours will allow you to die happily without getting pregnant or becoming a fallen species... If I kill the four of you, I will also commit suicide."
