I'm on the Ark, and I started as a succubus.

After a brief moment of stiffness, his body began to tremble violently, the intensity of which was like that of a live fish plunged into a pot of boiling oil, almost as if he were about to break his back.

She's beginning her descent into the ultimate purgatory, or perhaps she's slowly making her way to paradise.

244 Chen Huijie: Come at me if you dare!

The sounds of splattering and crackling echoed all around.

The sound echoed and overlapped repeatedly in the small, dark space, becoming virtually omnipresent and disturbingly chaotic.

Just like the temporary iron tents where infected people in the Longmen slums live, the sound of rain is always like this, pattering and splashing, during the rainy season.

It was so noisy it was really annoying.

Chen Huijie let out a long breath and gripped the hilt of the Chixiao sword tightly.

Chixiao kept trembling, as if it had come back to life.

Whenever she encounters strange dangers or unknown forces, Chixiao will send her a warning by trembling violently.

But today, Chixiao was unusually noisy, buzzing and vibrating incessantly in her palm, making it impossible for her to figure out where the danger was.

After a strange change occurred to the servant named 'Caitlyn', she was teleported to this strange passageway.

The overall environment was cramped and dark, with only a small lamp providing illumination at intervals. It was so quiet that she could clearly hear her own breathing, yet also so noisy that it was irritating.

The clattering sound echoed in a place that seemed both far away and very close, lingering in her ears.

It's like an endless downpour.

The rain came in varying degrees of intensity, sometimes light and rhythmic, sometimes heavy and violent, sometimes so intense it seemed to be pounding against the roof of the awning with loud bangs.

"*Longmen profanity*, *Longmen profanity*, where on earth is this?!"

Chen Huijie paused, raised her hand and slammed her fist against the wall, gritting her teeth, her rose-red eyes filled with rage.

She had been walking here for a very, very long time. The dark and gloomy passage seemed to have no end, trapping her here until she died.

I tried to use the Crimson Sky Sword to break through the wall, but after the entire sword was inserted into the wall, I was shocked to find that the walls on both sides were incredibly thick, and I couldn't reach the other side of the wall at all.

After exhausting herself, she finally gave up on the idea of ​​breaking through the wall.

Swish!

Chen Huijie drew Chixiao again, its tip pointing straight at the ceiling, and roared like a fierce demon:

"Come out if you dare! What kind of person hides like that? *Longmen profanity*!"

The Crimson Sky Sword in his hand trembled violently, even showing a tendency to break free from his control.

Chen Huijie looked surprised. In that instant, she seemed to sense that Chixiao wasn't giving her warnings at all, but rather it was afraid.

These swords, which were unfavorable and could almost cleave everything in two, were constantly afraid, even terrified.

"Hey! *Longmen swear words*, what do you mean? You're actually scared at a time like this?"

Chi Xiao's reaction only made Chen Huijie even angrier.

She angrily flung the Crimson Sky sword in her hand and put it back into its sheath.

My gaze inadvertently swept forward and I noticed that the passageway seemed to have become brighter, and more light seemed to be shining in from the front.

"Ok?"

Chen Huijie frowned slightly and gripped the hilt of Chixiao's sword tightly once more.

The long passage seems to have come to an end?

She remembered it clearly; just moments ago, everything in front of her was still that ghostly appearance.

Did her words have an effect?

Chen Huijie stared intently at the suddenly changing light and shadow before her for a moment, then crept forward little by little.

Despite her fiery personality, she is actually very calm and composed in her actions, especially when encountering enemies, and she will do her best to ensure the safety of every member of the Guard Bureau.

"Eee-oh-oh-oh-woo-ah!"

The sudden sound made Chen Huijie shudder. He abruptly lowered his center of gravity and adjusted his stance so that he could use the scabbard to unleash a powerful draw slash at any moment.

She has practiced this martial art for many years and has almost reached a state of perfection.

With the powerful physique bestowed by the dragon race, which enhances the strength of the longsword, and the activation of the Originium Arts that stimulates the magical units within Crimson Sky at that moment, Crimson Sky's power and sharpness will reach a state close to perfection.

"call……"

Chen Huijie slowly exhaled, having resolved a state of unified internal energy in martial arts.

It's still the same.

A sound that seemed to come from near and then away.

This sound had been heard from time to time before; sometimes it was a loud wailing, sometimes a hoarse growl like a wild beast, and sometimes a scream like someone on the verge of death.

The only thing they had in common was that the sounds were all very strange.

It seemed to be in great pain, to the point of contorting and screaming, yet it also seemed to be in great pleasure and enjoyment.

Yes, there's another thing in common: the voices all seem to be female, and they all have a very familiar feel to them.

It was as if, as if... as if those voices were coming from people she knew.

Chen Huijie couldn't be sure if those voices were from people she knew; the ethereal quality of them, sometimes near and sometimes far, made it impossible for her to make an effective distinction.

However, after a voice that sounded a lot like Hoshiguma appeared, crying incessantly and begging for forgiveness, Chen Huijie became certain that those voices were just her imagination.

Is it a delusion caused by her excessive worry about her lost friends, or is it an enemy lurking in the unknown, trying to break her will?

joke?

Hoshiguma can cry?

She couldn't imagine Hoshiguma wailing and crying, let alone imagine her lowering her voice and pleading for mercy with such sorrow and pitifulness.

Even if a knife were to be slashed at their head, those ghost sisters wouldn't even blink an eye, okay?

Hmph, if you want to disturb her mind, you should do your homework first.

"Hey! *Longmen profanity*! *Longmen profanity*! Aren't you always resorting to these petty tricks? You can do whatever you want, come out and have a look."

Chen Huijie chose to perform language output again.

But in the next instant, the sound, which seemed to come from near and far, suddenly became incredibly clear, so clear that she could clearly visualize the scene unfolding in her mind.

"Hiss, hiss... Oh my god?! Where, where are we?... No, no! That will definitely break!"

Chen Huijie listened intently for a while, then was suddenly startled to realize that voice, that voice! No

There was no mistake; she was certain that the voice belonged to Lin Yuxia's pink-haired mouse.

"Ouch...it hurts so much, ah—oh my god, I'm going to die, I'm really going to die! Sigh...this is so strange, it's become so strange..."

A look of shock and anger flashed across Chen Huijie's face as she shouted at her surroundings, "Come out! *Longmen swear words*! If you've got the guts, come at me! Get out here!"

245 Run, Inspector Chan!

Gripping the sword hilt tightly, Chen Huijie glared around before finally looking angrily at the end of the narrow passage.

Gritting her teeth, Chen Huijie took a step forward and quickly passed through. The light in front of her became brighter and brighter, and she, who had been used to the dim environment, felt a little uncomfortable.

He reached out and partially covered his eyes, peering through the gaps between his fingers at the suddenly open space—a huge, towering stone chamber.

No, to be precise, it should be a strange temple.

The spatial structure is somewhat like a giant theater, the kind of theater where traditional operas are performed. It is generally semi-elliptical, with gold leaf covering the walls. Under the illumination of countless crystal chandeliers above the half-open theater dome, it bursts out with a dazzling light that is almost blinding.

A giant mirror, resembling one placed in the center of a stage, magically reflected the starry sky amidst the dazzling light pollution.

In the middle of the huge, silvery mirror, a strange purple-pink stone staircase stood there in an indescribable way.

The purple-pink stone steps stretched upwards, breaking through the temple's towering dome and reaching the vast starry sky above.

Chen Huijie strained his eyes to look, but he still couldn't make out what was at the top of the white jade steps. He only vaguely sensed that it should be the location of the strange deity statue worshipped in this temple.

An incomprehensible structure.

If, if... she were still on that landship, then none of this should have happened.

Neither the size of the temple before us nor the incredible purple-pink stone staircase should be something that could appear on a land-based ship.

They are far larger than a landship.

A strange discomfort suddenly spread, burning hot, as if something was awakening.

"Ok?"

Chen Huijie frowned, feeling as if she heard low snickers coming from all around her, and then that strange feeling suddenly vanished without a trace.

"What are you? Show yourself!"

Chen Huijie drew his Chixiao sword and glared angrily at his surroundings.

She discovered an altar similar to the one used by the Great Yan people to worship their ancestors—the kind of ancient altar where slaughtered scaled and feathered beasts were placed during festivals and holidays.

Ordinary people would simply place the offerings on the ground as a token gesture, but the powerful families of the Great Yan Dynasty would have special containers for holding sacrificial offerings during important festivals.

The altar she was seeing was exactly the same shape as the Great Yan altar. The only difference was that this altar was almost entirely made of jade, with a warm and lustrous color. You could even feel a faint oily texture when you touched it.

It is the finest mutton fat jade.

The altars vaguely resembled beds, but after being covered with a layer of bright red velvet, that bed-like feeling disappeared, and they became purely sacrificial vessels for placing offerings.

It looks like someone's up there?

Chen Huijie frowned and examined the altar for a while, then turned his head and looked around. After failing to find any trace of the enemy, he gripped the hilt of his sword and walked to the altar.

After confirming once again that it was safe, she climbed up and, upon seeing the scene before her, felt a tremendous shock, followed by anger.

A beautiful girl with a strong sense of justice decides to make the bastard who committed such a heinous act pay the price!

Chen Huijie recognized the beautiful girl in the center of the altar, her fair wrists and ankles bound by leather straps. Few in Longmen didn't know her; she was Longmen's most sought-after idol—

--null.

However, this idol was in a terrible state at the moment. The leather buckles binding her wrists and ankles had almost turned this youthful and energetic idol into a frog-like creature lying on its back.

Her hands were raised high above her head, bound on the left and right sides respectively, as were her fair and slender legs.

A state of being stripped of all defenses, left only to be slaughtered.
