Chihaya Aine will not fall into the Shura field, never!

"I know the two ladies have some doubts about me, so I have prepared a plan to make them believe me."

As he spoke, Deng Jin took out a box from the magic of his storage space.

Upon seeing what was inside the box, Ai-yin and Su-shi's expressions changed simultaneously; they naturally knew what was inside.

Greedy Contract

Unlike the equal contract of magic, the contract of greed is an unequal contract, similar to the contract of slavery. Once the contents of the contract are violated, the one in control will not be harmed; only the one being controlled will be affected.

"Shouldn't that prove my sincerity?"

Ai Yin took out the contract and looked at it carefully, then nodded to Su Shi.

“Su Shi, there is no problem with the contract.”

This means that once this greedy contract takes effect, Deng Jin's life or death will be entirely in the hands of either Ai Yin or Su Shi.

"Will you sign or should I sign?"

"You do it."

Su Shi abandoned this choice and looked at Deng Jin as Ai Yin signed the contract.

"But you trust us that much?"

“Because I have no other choice. I want to break away from the Zero Cult. To do this, I must create the illusion that I am dead. And you are the opportunity I have been waiting for.”

Deng Jin calmly looked at the two people in front of him.

"If you want to leave the Zero Cult, why not just leave directly? Is it really necessary to make things so complicated?"

Ai Yin was somewhat puzzled.

"It's not that simple. You are well aware of the situation of the Zero Cult. Why do you think they would establish their stronghold in such a place?"

"Isn't it so that we can better attract followers?"

With so many people coming and going in the city center, it is undoubtedly the best place for the Zero Cult to recruit believers.

Afterwards, as long as the believers are kept hidden, no one will know whether the people around you are actually members of the Zero Cult.

"Yes, and then, what do you think is the reason why the Zero Cult can attract so many followers? It's common knowledge that the Zero Cult's followers are crazy, but have you ever thought about it? Are there really that many crazy people in this world?"

There are zero-worshippers in every country in the world; you can't arrest them all. Have you ever wondered what kind of magic this zero-worshipping cult possesses that makes so many people willingly follow it?

This problem does exist.

People have thought about it, but those who advocate zero tolerance have never mentioned anything about it.

However, it is impossible to communicate with the people of the Zero Cult. Various countries have also planned to send infiltrators into the Zero Cult, but they were all turned against them without exception. Over time, countries stopped sending people to the Zero Cult, and the question of what kind of magic the Zero Cult possessed was temporarily put aside.

"Is there a reason?"

"Only those of the rank of Holy Son or Holy Daughter are qualified to know about this matter."

Deep within this stronghold lies a massive magical device powered by the Seed of the Holy Stone, capable of subtly altering a person's consciousness and forcing them into absolute loyalty to the Zero Cult. Without proper precautions, one might unknowingly fall victim to its effects.

Actually, if you weren't with me, you'd probably already be starting to have a favorable impression of the Zero Cult by now.

Deng Jin's expressionless words sent chills down one's spine.

"When priests recruit believers outside, they use hypnotic magic to briefly hypnotize them, then take them to a base equipped with the device and keep them there for about three days, after which they will completely defect to the Zero Cult."

Therefore, if I leave directly, it would be tantamount to telling the Zero Cult that I have broken free from their brainwashing control, and in that case, the Zero Cult will not let me go.

mygo!!! Chapter Thirty-Nine: A Clear Goal

If what Deng Jin said is true, it's no wonder that so many informants who tried to infiltrate the Zero Cult ended up becoming believers inexplicably.

Moreover, the Chongling Cult did a very good job of keeping secrets. If it weren't for Deng Jin, they would have had no idea that such a thing existed here.

"Why can I avoid being brainwashed by being with you?"

Su Shi pressed Deng Jin for answers.

"That's why."

As he spoke, Deng Jin took out a Zero Beast statue from his bosom. It looked even more handsome than the Zero Beast statue in the room. However, when Deng Jin took it out, Ai Yin and Su Shi couldn't understand it. Wasn't this still a Zero Beast statue?

"wrong!"

Suddenly, Ai Yin was slightly surprised.

"This statue is covered with magical energy!"

Moreover, it is a type of auxiliary magic, like illusion magic. However, this kind of magic is very secretive. If it weren't for Tōjin wanting Aine to discover it, Aine probably wouldn't have found it.

"This statue can be considered a sub-product of that magical device, possessing the same effect. However, I did it this way, which is why it can resist the effects of the magical device."

The illusion's magic vanished, and what appeared before Aine and Suze was the head of the Zero Beast statue placed upside down on its body, with tear stains etched on its face, as if it were weeping.

Such an act is undoubtedly blasphemous. If the Zero Cult found out, burning at the stake would probably be the least of their worries.

Ai Yin is now beginning to believe that what Deng Jin said is true. She really wants to leave the Zero Cult. Judging from the behavior of those lunatics in the Zero Cult, no matter how much they try, they would never test their faith.

“Su Shi, I think she might not be lying.”

Ai Yin's words appeared in Su Shi's mind. At this moment, Su Shi almost completely let down her guard because she and Ai Yin were thinking the same thing.

"Okay, we can trust you."

Su Shi nodded slightly. Although the Greed Contract could make Deng Jin's life and death uncontrollable, who could understand the thoughts of a madman? Before seeing the Zero Beast Statue, Su Shi had always been skeptical, even though Deng Jin had signed the Greed Contract.

"Now, can you tell us the location of the magical device?"

"can."

Deng Jin nodded without hesitation.

"However, if you are going to take action, I hope you can wait three days."

"why?"

"First, you've only just arrived. If something were to happen at this time, the Chongling Cult would undoubtedly place their suspicions on you newcomers immediately."

Secondly, I've also found some helpers myself. It will take three days to create the anti-magic devices for them. I hope you can work together with her from the inside to wipe out all the core members here in one fell swoop.

Outside, she couldn't easily fake her death, but once she was sent inside, things might be different; the influence of the Zero Cult was quite weak inside.

Nighttime, the deacon's private lounge

The Saintess's deacons were not just Ai Yin and Su Shi. In addition to the two of them, there were eight other girls of similar age who were currently educating them about the Chongling Cult and the greatness of the Saintess.

While dealing with the enthusiastic girl, Aine also discussed matters with Sose using telepathy.

"Su Shi, what do you think about what Saintess Deng Jin said about making us wait for three days?"

"Although we have now confirmed that Saintess Dengjin is alright, three days is still a long time. Dengjin and the others are still waiting for our news outside. Moreover, we don't know if the helpers Saintess Dengjin found are reliable."

"That's right."

While Aine maintained an expression of attentive listening to the girl explaining the knowledge, her mind was completely wandering.

"Su Shi, how about we test the waters a bit later? We need to figure out the size of the guards around that magical device first, right?"

"Alright."

Su Shi thought about it and agreed with Ai Yin's statement. Since their goal was clear—to seize the Holy Stone Seed and destroy the magic device—they should first conduct a thorough investigation beforehand.

So, a little later, when the lights in the lounge were turned off, Aine and Suze secretly used magic to evade the senses of the other eight people in the room and left.

"Actually, I can do it all by myself."

Aine originally planned to go alone, but Suze insisted on coming with her.

"Then what's the point of me joining in?"

That rhetorical question shut Aine up.

For Su Shi, Aine couldn't afford any mishaps at this time. After all, she was currently the key to stabilizing Xiao Deng and Li Xi.

The two evaded the patrolling members of the Chongling Cult and secretly made their way to the depths of the stronghold, a place even the Holy Maiden was not allowed to approach without special circumstances, to the location of the magical device that could brainwash people.

The closer Aine got to it, the more abruptly she felt that she must be wondering if what she was doing was really the right thing to do. Was it really right to go against the doctrines of the Zero Cult?

Snapped

Just as this thought popped into her head, Aine's hand was grabbed.

"Chihaya-kun, let's go back. Maybe the Zero Cult isn't as bad as we think."

Su Shi calmly said this to Aine, her face showing no sign of anything unusual.

But what's even stranger is that Aine actually nodded seriously.

"That's true. We should observe the Zero Cult first, or we might wrongly accuse good people."

Heart of the Crown: ? ? ? ?

Holy crap, did Master's brain break down that quickly?

A glint flashed in the ruby ​​on Ai Yin's chest, and then...

"Hey!"

It felt like someone was stabbing Aine in the forehead; the stinging sensation spread throughout her body.

"

Heart of the Crown, what are you doing?

Ai Yin immediately discovered the culprit.

"Are you back to normal, Master?"

The Crown Heart's indifferent response sent a chill down Aine's spine. She recalled the thoughts that had been swirling in her mind earlier. Was this magical device really that powerful in bewitching people?

"What's wrong, Chihaya-kun?"

A question from Su Shi came from beside her, and only then did Aine remember that there was another person here who needed stimulation therapy.

Such a tangy and refreshing feeling shouldn't be enjoyed by her alone, right?

then.

"Hiss~~~~"

Su Shi touched her head; the stinging sensation was still faintly present.

"I know you're trying to help me, but could you please go easy on me, Chihaya-kun?"

"It's not my fault. I don't know how much force it would take to get you back to normal."

Aine looked completely innocent.

"What if you don't recover and expose us?"

"makes sense."

Looking into the depths, although there were no longer any patrols, Su Shi now understood why. Perhaps the Chongling Cult felt that there was no need for anyone to guard this place anymore.

"What should we do next?"

“We were unprepared before. Since we can recover, it means that the magic device does not have a very deep control over us. So, let’s give each other a hint. As long as we develop a favorable feeling towards the Zero Cult, the hint will be activated immediately to stimulate our brains and bring us back to our senses.”

"For now, this is the only way."

mygo！！！！！：Chapter 40: Warming Feelings?

It must be said that although this method is quite unpleasant, it is very effective. At least, Ai Yin and Su Shi have not completely sided with the Zero Cult.

In about ten minutes, the two arrived in front of a huge stone gate.

The magical fluctuations emanating from within told Aine and Sue that they had arrived at their destination.

"What should we do? If we just push the door open like this, we'll definitely be discovered!"

Aiyin looked at Su Shi and asked her a question using telepathy.

There was no one guarding the outside of the door, but that might not be the case inside. No matter how much you trust the magical device, there would definitely be someone guarding the place where it was placed.

"Let me take a look."

Su Shi sighed. She finally understood that Ai Yin's Eagle Eye magic probably couldn't penetrate the obstacles of buildings to achieve the effect of X-ray vision.
