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

"The Zero Cult has actually built such a facility not far from Tokyo without anyone noticing."

Su Shi felt a chill run down her spine when she recalled the photos of the massive underwater facility that Deng Jin had sent her.

It's unimaginable how much time and manpower the Chongling Church spent to build such a large underwater facility, almost the size of a town.

"Let's go. We'll decide what to do with this underwater facility after we've seen it with our own eyes."

Ai Yin slowly opened her mouth.

Aine and the others continued swimming downwards, and after about twenty minutes, Aine saw...

At the end of the seabed, however, all that remained was seabed rock and soil, with no facilities in sight.

"Master, fluctuations in the spirit barrier have been detected."

Just as Ai Yin was wondering, the voices of the Emerald Sword and the Nine Star Rings rang out at the same time.

At the same time, the Crown Heart's words also appeared in Aine's mind.

"Is that so? No wonder no one has noticed anything unusual about this place."

After hearing the sounds of the Emerald Sword and the Nine Star Rings, Su Shi understood somewhat.

Even though the facility is on the seabed, there are quite a few marine biologists in Tokyo who come to explore the seabed from time to time, so there's no reason why they haven't discovered anything unusual.

"Jade Sword, if we enter the barrier like this, will we be discovered?"

"No problem, Master. With the assistance of the Nine Star Rings, I am confident that I can hide Master and his party from being discovered."

"I will handle it."

Xiao Jiu appeared on Xiao Deng's shoulder, patting his chest.

"That's no problem."

Li Xi immediately indicated that everything was ready.

Subsequently, with the assistance of the Emerald Sword and the Nine Star Rings, the group entered the spiritual barrier.

Among the underwater facilities

The photos sent by Deng Jin showed the same thing: the entire underwater facility was built like a small town. When Ai Yin and the others entered, they were in the mountains inside the town.

It's quite peculiar, isn't it? Mountains that usually only appear on land have appeared even though it's underwater.

"So, did you just storm their place and destroy that thing called 'Lost Paradise'?"

Lixi spoke first.

"Let's take a look at the situation here first."

Upon hearing this, Ai Yin shook her head.

"If we start fighting, this underwater facility probably won't survive."

After all, if the fighting gets too intense, at least ten people will directly transform into True Transformation. Just two or three True Transformation Mages fighting each other would be too much for this underwater facility, let alone ten.

"Although this is the territory of the Zero Cult, we won't be heartbroken if it's destroyed, but we still have to see if the people here can be saved first."

Once the underwater facilities are destroyed, the people living here will definitely be homeless. Even though there is a protective barrier that prevents the sea from crushing the area, who can imagine what the Zero Cult is thinking?

What if they think there's no hope left here and cancel the spirit barrier?

Although Aine doesn't consider herself a saint, she still can't bring herself to convict someone or take their life without seeing it for herself.

"If there is any hope of rescue, and if there are still people who want to leave this place, we will have to find a way to secretly send them out."

Fortunately, the Zero Cult members hadn't discovered them yet, and Aine and the others still had enough time to consider such matters.

"Alright, so what's the plan now? Should we split up or go together?"

Lixi nodded, and then asked this question.

"Let's go together, Lena, it's up to you."

Aine made that decision, and then unleashed her deadly weapon.

"I?"

The cat tilts its head.

"Which direction here makes you feel uncomfortable?"

"Well...."

The cat raised an eyebrow, and then its heterochromatic eyes revealed a sense of unease.

“They’re everywhere, but there are two places that I hate the most.”

Lena pointed to the north and northeast.

"These two places."

"Two places?"

Ai Yin hesitated for a moment.

"Then let's all go and take a look."

One of these two locations must be where the Divine Punishment Squad is located, so Aine didn't suggest any separate actions.

However, what surprised her even more was that there was a place here that could evoke the same level of disgust in Lena as the place where the Divine Punishment Squad was located.

Later, when they went to a place where people lived, Aine and the others noticed that the people there wore clothes that were different from what they were wearing now.

Indeed, this place is located underwater, isolated from the world, so it's naturally impossible for it to be the same as the outside world.

People who worship zero do not seem like the type to bring outside culture here.

So, Ai and the others could only sneak into a clothing store and secretly steal a few coats to wear over their clothes.

There's no other way. Ai and the others can't exactly use money from outside to spend here, can they? That would expose them in no time.

As for using magic to block vision like we did in the other world before?

Haha, doing this is no different from spending money outside the company.

"Strange, why are all these people heading in this direction?"

On their way to the direction indicated by Rana, Aine and the others quickly discovered something unusual.

Everyone in the town, regardless of age or gender, was walking in the same direction as them.

The magical barrier simulated the weather outside, with day and night, thunderstorms and clear skies, which is why Aine found it strange.

In broad daylight, don't these people have any work to do? Why are they all heading in the same direction, and all of them look anxious, as if they're afraid of missing something?

Should we ask?

Lixi asked.

"No, perhaps not."

It wasn't Ai Yin who spoke, but Xiao Deng beside her. Xiao Deng has always been very sensitive to emotions.

"What's wrong? Light."

"Hmm, I have a feeling that if I disturb them, we'll be exposed."

Xiao Deng couldn't explain it clearly either; he just tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying this.

Succubus Chronicles: Chapter 128 Just Wait to Die, There's No Hope

"Since Tomorin has said so, let's not alert him."

Upon hearing this, Ai-yin could only say this.

"Anyway, we're heading to the same destination, and we'll find out sooner or later."

However, what happened next shocked Aine's worldview, and if she could, she would rather not have known about it.

In just over ten minutes, Ai Yin and her group arrived at their destination.

It was a huge square, with rows of stone crosses lined up in the square.

The moment Aine saw these things, she had a bad feeling.

"Aine, this is the place that makes me very uncomfortable."

Lena narrowed her eyes, her calm pupils revealing no emotion. But Aine knew Lena well; she always reacted this way when Lena wanted to destroy something.

"Hey, I hope my guess is wrong."

Su Shi spoke up at this moment.

“These crosses remind me of bad things.”

Not to mention Su Shi, even Aine herself had this thought, and judging from Li Xi and Xiao Deng's expressions, they were probably no exception.

Unfortunately, in the end, what Su Shi feared still happened.

In about five minutes, seven children were grabbed by adults and tied to a cross.

Re .!:.; ??.._ ?:;-- .;-~- :--~~ -_~__ ~~!

.: ~-~-? ?:!:; can

The children, both boys and girls, were only about six years old. Although they struggled, their strength was no match for that of adults.

One by one, their mouths were covered with rags, preventing them from crying out or begging for mercy.

What frightened Aine even more was that the people around her took it all for granted.

From eight or nine-year-olds to eighty-year-olds, they all considered it perfectly normal. Ai Yin discovered that in their eyes, there was the gaze of a pope fanatic.

At this moment, an old man with fervent eyes walked to the very center of the square.

"Ladies and gentlemen, originally we offered this to our great god...blah blah blah..."

Ai Yin could no longer hear what the old man was saying.

Because without even listening, Ai already knew what they were planning to do: a living sacrifice!

This kind of love song, which she had only seen in books and online, was something that only ignorant people in ancient times would do. Now, it was being performed right before her eyes!

They did this because the Zero Cult they believe in required them to do so!

From the whispers of those around them, Aine and the others learned that this was how everyone here had always lived.

They specifically target children as human sacrifices? Good heavens, and you still have so many people here.

"...Finally, we offer our most fervent faith to our great God, and pray that He may forever bless us!"

May our God bless us forever!

A large crowd in the square shouted in unison. Ai Yin couldn't count how many people there were, but she knew that she didn't hear a single dissenting voice among them.

"Anno-chan".

Xiaodeng looked at Aiyin, whose face showed some anxiety.

The children on the cross were crying out, their eyes filled with tears and fear.

Obviously, what others consider a great honor is nothing but bullshit to these six-year-olds who haven't been influenced by adults too much!

They don't want to die!

“Children, do not be afraid. You are not dying, but returning to God’s embrace. This is something we all envy. Be happy and proud.”

The old man's eyes revealed madness. He walked to the side and picked up a torch, while the area beneath the cross was already filled with firewood by the townspeople.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

One of the girls, with cherry-colored eyes, kept shaking her head as the old man drew closer, trying to persuade him to let her go.

However, the old man ignored this and was about to throw down the torch.

"Hey, let me ask you, did you feel even the slightest bit of remorse for doing such a thing?"

A deep voice came to the old man's ears, and only then did the old man realize with astonishment that his right hand was gone and the torch had fallen to the ground.

"Ahhhhhhh!"

She belatedly let out a mournful cry, rolling around on the ground. Ai-ne, wearing a mask, glanced at her with disdain. In her arms, she was still holding the girl with cherry-colored eyes who had been tied to the cross earlier.
