Chapter 20 The Silent Assassin(2/2)
"I...I'm warning you, if you dare to kill me, we will definitely not..."
"Two sentences."
"I...I know. It turns out that the prophecy is true. What the great Shepherd said is unnecessary. You are...you must be..."
"boom!"
The gunshot sounded, and there was a transparent bullet hole in Scott's head. His body slowly fell limp, and the blood slowly flowed into the fire, causing the flames to make a crackling and burning sound.
"Where's all this nonsense?" Brandy stepped forward angrily, groping back and forth on the still fresh corpse for a while, and finally found a small note.
He opened the note and read the contents carefully silently by the light of the fire. A satisfied smile appeared on his lips: "Sure enough, I expected it to be good. You can indeed provide me with more information."
Brandi was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind. He looked back at the corpse, and the smile on his lips became a little cunning: "But I think you can help me more in other ways.
Isn't it?"
A secret cave hidden among the nearby mountains, less than half a mile from the camp.
The cave has obviously been artificially transformed, and the mountain walls have been polished and reinforced to ensure its stability and the sensory comfort of the people living here.
The cave is not deep, and after only a dozen steps along the narrow and winding cave road, it suddenly becomes clear.
Deep in the cave is a stone chamber that has been artificially repaired. In the center of the stone chamber, seven stone statues of goddesses with rough workmanship but still charm stand in it. They have the same posture, but their faces have different expressions, such as joy, compassion, anger, and indifference.
, sadness, crying, hatred, just like all living beings.
Under the stone statue, a woman in black robe is holding a beautifully decorated dagger. Her eyes are closed and her hands are open, as if she wants to hold the world in her arms. In front of her, two men and one woman are kneeling, with the woman in the middle
Their faces looked pious and expectant, and the men kneeling on both sides had fresh cuts on their foreheads, and there was even fresh blood flowing out of them, leaving vertical and horizontal marks on their faces, but they seemed to have no regard for it.
He didn't feel anything, he just looked at the woman in black robe standing under the statue of the goddess with a look of enthusiasm, her whole body seemed to be enveloped by a divine aura.
"To the goddess, we are meeting here today to give our new partner the permanent protection of the goddess to help her be brave, fearless, and invincible in the difficult struggle in the near future," the woman in black robe held up her hands.
Holding it high and reciting the words of prayer, she opened her closed eyes, looked at the kneeling woman in front of her, and said, "Those who are kneeling, the goddess asked me through my mouth, are you willing to devote yourself to the great cause of my teaching?
After death?"
"I do." The kneeling woman said without hesitation.
"Are you willing to sacrifice your life to defend the glory of the goddess, no matter what?"
"I do."
"Very good," the woman in black robe put down her hands, nodded, and said, "The goddess will use my hands to provide you with the blessing of grace. I hope you will not disgrace your oath today and become a loyal guard of our religion."
When the dagger in the black-robed woman's hand was about to cut the woman's forehead, an untimely voice interrupted this sacred and weird ceremony: "Sorry to bother you, Mr. Missionary, but I think our baptism ceremony can be
It’s over now.”
The woman in black robe looked at the uninvited guest with some confusion and anger, and said: "Scott, you should know that one of the focuses of our gathering today is to engrave the stigmata on the new brothers and sisters. You should also understand that at this time,
Interrupting the ceremony is one of the greatest acts of blasphemy against the goddess and the Shepherd. If you don't give a suitable reason now, I will definitely sue the Shepherd and give you the most severe punishment."
"The reason is very simple, Ms. Bethany Delamere," "Scott" said as he slowly took off his hood, revealing Brandy's smiling face, "you are going to be finished soon.
."
"It's an intruder!" Bethany Delamere shouted in panic, "The time has come to show your piety and loyalty, believers, kill him!"
After hearing Bethany Delamere's order, the three kneeling believers stood up in a hurry, took out the revolvers hidden under their robes and shot wildly at the intruder.
Brandy, however, took off his robe before they shot, and flicked it, blocking the opponent's sight. All the shots from the opposite side fell into the air.
The three people panicked and fired all the bullets in the gun chamber, but only shot the robe full of holes. When they pulled the trigger but there was only a crisp "click" sound, Brandi ushered in the counterattack.
Good opportunity.
Three gunshots were fired almost in succession, putting a transparent bullet hole in the eyebrows of the three new believers. Brandi turned the revolver in his hand while staring at the frightened people with provocative eyes.
Bethany Delamere.
Bethany Delamere saw that the man in front of her killed three gun-wielding believers in less than three seconds, like a god of death, and knew that she had no retreat. She tightened the dagger in her hand and shouted
With a sound, he rushed towards the young man, and the tip of the dagger was about to go into the man's chest and abdomen.
"Pah! Pah!"
Brandi held the revolver in her hand and did not fire. She just opened her bow left and right like a mouth twitcher. Two heavy blows hit Bethany Delamere in the face, knocking her to the ground and making her unconscious.
"Okay, I got another three hundred dollars." Brandi took off the rope from his waist, tied Bethany Delamere up tightly, swung it over his shoulder, and walked away.
In the early morning of the next day, a joint search team composed of Valentine police, New Hanover State Marshals, and Mounted Police discovered a "Seventh Generation" in the Ambarino Mountains based on the information provided by the bounty hunter "Angel Eyes"
The stronghold of the sect, because it seemed to have been washed with blood, so they did not expend any effort. They just took away the surviving members of the "Seventh Generation" sect and burned the place where the seven goddesses stood.
The cave is like a cave, and their internal merit books also record the great achievements of these heroic people who defended the people's happy life. This is both reputation and political achievement.
