The Big Sister of the Brotherhood of Extreme Desire

The silence didn't last long this time, because Xilolin, who had been thrown into the pit, soon woke up.

The first thing she did after waking up was not to scream or cry for help, but to endure the excruciating pain in her body, grit her teeth, and stare at the three powerful outsiders in front of her with a pair of astonished eyes.

There was no anger, no fear, not even panic in her eyes; only calmness and scrutiny.

She never considered retaliating. The disparity in strength between the two sides was too great. She knew she had no chance at all. Judging from the heavy blow she had just taken, even if the entire Brotherhood of Extreme Desire from the Door of Falling were combined, they probably couldn't defeat one of these three. Not to mention the two good cops watching the show from the sidelines. At this moment, it seemed that these two were not easy to deal with either.

However, Xilolin was not worried. Given the vast difference in strength, the fact that the other party had the opportunity to kill her instantly but still chose to save her meant that they had something to ask for. She saw the playful look in Cheng Shi and the other two's eyes and was certain that they were not there for revenge but to gather information.

Ironically, within this Door of Falling, she was confident that the information she possessed was enough to save her own life.

So, shortly after regaining consciousness, she took the initiative to fight for a chance to save her life.

"It seems I have offended you all. We could have had a much better chance to have a conversation, but now, it's up to you."

She grinned, sucked the blood from her mouth, looked at her two severed arms, which were far away from her, and gave a bitter laugh:

"Ask me anything, and I'll answer you obediently."

"..."

Although the shantytown leader was pragmatic and knew how to assess the situation, the tone and expression in which she spoke gave Cheng Shi the feeling that the other party was in control of the situation.

He raised an eyebrow, and to prevent this shrewd and capable woman from playing too many tricks during the questioning, he chuckled and walked past Qin Xin to retrieve an arm from outside the shack. He then casually rinsed it with the wine on the table, took out a set of needle and thread from his spatial storage, and gestured at the position of the arm, seemingly intending to sew it up.

But this gesture alone caused Xilolin's expression to change drastically, even though she hadn't panicked before.

Cheng Shi noticed the other person's expression and smiled kindly:

Why are you looking at me like that? Are you scared?

Relax. I am a Doctor, an excellent Doctor. Well, I should say I am an excellent Fate Weaver. My specialty is mending other people's Destiny. The limbs are considered the carriers of Destiny, and naturally belong to Destiny as well, so I am also very good at it.

Don't be afraid, you'll recover soon.

Xilolin gritted her teeth and nodded, not daring to refuse. Her face was pale, and she was sweating profusely. Looking at the knitting needle and a ball of colorful yarn in Cheng Shi's hand, her whole body began to tremble slightly.

Cheng Shi's kindness was so much that the two Passing the Flame couldn't stand it anymore. Qin Xin coughed twice and stopped talking, Blind Man simply found a stool and sat down to listen quietly to the Fate Weaver's performance.

Cheng Shi was incredibly skilled at interrogation—no, incredibly skilled at communication. He used a thread-picking needle, slightly thinner than the Scalpel, to hold up a few lines near Xilolin's severed hand, and asked with a smile:

Do you know her?

Xilolin was startled and looked in the direction the needle was pointing. She finally saw Aromani, who had been abandoned by Qin Xin outside the shack. A look of surprise flashed in her eyes, followed by a look of sadness.

"She's dead?"

"It seems you know each other, but I'm sorry, your answer is wrong."

As he spoke, Cheng Shi plunged a needle into Xilolin's shoulder. The strong siren finally couldn't bear it any longer and collapsed to the ground, wailing in pain.

However, Qin Xin had already blocked out the surrounding noise, so no one cared about her wails. He had no sympathy for the Believer of [Filth and Decay]. She should have thought of her fate the moment the other party "poisoned" her power.

"I...know!" Xilolin gritted her teeth and answered the question again.

"Very good. Second question, has she shown any unusual behavior recently?"

Abnormal?

What could be unusual about an ordinary Believer in the Brotherhood of Extreme Desire, a woman whose looks and figure are not particularly outstanding in the shantytown?

Who would bother to pay attention to Aromani's abnormality?

Xilolin's eyes widened, a hint of confusion flashing in them, but she dared not disobey. She could only quickly search through her chaotic Memory, but she was in too much pain, so much pain that she could hardly continue.

Just then, a pure Healing Art landed on her, greatly relieving her pain. After feeling the healing aura on her body, she looked at the "Doctor" in front of her in disbelief and was shocked to find that the other party was actually healing her.

But that yarn...

She looked at her arm and saw that a thread had connected her severed arm and shoulder, and the bleeding had visibly stopped under the healing spell.

Madman.

The word suddenly popped into Xilolin's mind, but she quickly calmed down and recalled everything about Aromani.

She wasn't moved to take the initiative; rather, she was afraid to be passive because she was afraid to act.

"No, everything is normal."

"Are you sure?" Cheng Shi frowned and threaded another needle through Siren's shoulder. "I heard that one night, she was beaten by a miner?"

"?" Xilolin gritted her teeth again, trembling and panting heavily, "It's perfectly normal for people living in this shack to get beaten up. I get beaten up all the time too. It can't be considered abnormal."

"If one day no one gets beaten up, that would be truly abnormal."

"???"

Cheng Shi blinked, stunned, and even forgot what he was doing.

"Interesting. What, are you all embracing Painful Desire?"

"No, it has nothing to do with our desires, but with the desires of the guests who come here."

Since you were able to find me, you must know about our Brotherhood of Extreme Desire. Don't worry, I won't use the Brotherhood to threaten you. A distant water can't quench a nearby fire.

What I'm trying to say is that if a fraternity wants to expand, it must guide people to acknowledge and indulge their desires.

Therefore, being beaten is not misfortune, but glory. The scars on our bodies are never suffering, but medals earned through devoutly spreading His Will, and the desire that those who awaken and break free from confusion will eventually embrace!

"..."

Goodness, this Brotherhood of Extreme Desire really something. Even in this state, they can still proselytize.

Cheng Shi was speechless. He thought of what Aromani had said in the inn. These two girls from the shack were surprisingly similar in their devotion to their Lord of Grace.

Most Believer of the "Filth and Decay" group like to use piety to disguise their desires, but the one in front of me seems to be truly devout. In that case, the spiritual core and cohesion of this Brotherhood of Extreme Desire are indeed worthy of "admiration".

He shook his head and chuckled, then asked about some things Aromani had mentioned. Xilolin's answers were not lies; aside from unintentional forgetting, there were almost no problems.

Upon hearing this, all three people present frowned slightly. It seemed that the problem wasn't with Aromani, but with Yadelik.

Cheng Shi gazed toward the mine, feeling that things weren't going as smoothly as he had expected.

Seeing that one-sided questioning was not yielding any results, Qin Xin brought Aromani, who was outside the shack, inside. He woke the shack girl up, and then, amidst Aromani's fear and Xilolin's sighs, he went over their past again.

However, apart from a few minor details that still need to be verified, there are still no major problems.

This means that the "Cencha" one of the two is indeed Yadelik, while Aromani seems to have nothing to do with the Trials.

So, the guidance of Destiny... is gone?

Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow and looked at the Blind Man behind him, only to see the Blind Man suddenly stand up and place a Dice steadily on the table. It was a 17-sided Dice, and the number it showed was 17.

"I was afraid that my divination was too broad, so I specified the location as the shack area. Although desires clouded my vision, they could not stop His guidance. He told me that we had found the right place."

Therefore, the other "Cencha" one should be in this shantytown right now.

Traveling together as a group of three is too time-consuming. To improve efficiency, I think we should split up.

Qin Xin and I will go and investigate the other areas of the shack. As for you, Cheng Shi, I'll trouble you to stay here and keep an eye on this Siren. I have a feeling she might be helpful to our upcoming Trials."

Cheng Shi was instantly delighted upon hearing this arrangement:

"You? Go to investigate the shacks?"

What, didn't you say you couldn't see the Destiny here, only the surging desires?

Now you want to take a swim in the river of desire?

The Blind Man seemed used to Cheng Shi's teasing; she chuckled and shook her head.

"I know my efficiency may not be high, but this is the optimal solution."

After Xilolin was taken into custody, the desires outside lessened considerably. On the contrary, staying here to keep an eye on her was the most difficult thing for me.

But she's important. We need to keep her safe until we find a clue, so..."

"Laugh--"

"Bang!"

"?"

Before the Blind Man could finish speaking, Cheng Shi made his move. He thrust the long needle in his hand through Xilolin's neck, and then, as the other woman's expression changed drastically, he threw the corpse of this shantytown boss to Qin Xin was equally bewildered.
