"Heavenly Bane Cult?" Doctor Brennan frowned.
He was about to ask a question, but Gilan raised his hand first to signal not to speak.
"Let's retreat temporarily."
Gilan Seeing that Maive's legs were weak, he reached out directly, grabbed her waist with one hand, supported her knee socket with the other hand, and hugged her horizontally.
Immediately, he took the lead and retreated a hundred meters away towards the way he came, hiding in a stone and wood bungalow on the roadside.
Maive was gently placed on a stone bed covered with straw.
"Miss Maive, do you recognize the group just now?" Doctor Brennan couldn't help but ask at this time. "They are so heartbroken and crazy... They seem to be performing human sacrifices on the residents of this village!"
Maive hugged his knees, his mood was low, and he seemed a little scared.
She bit her lip and was silent for a while before speaking:
"My family is in the south. My father is a bank executive and my mother runs a clothing store. I also have a younger sister who is in ninth grade in a public school... It seems like a very ordinary family, but in fact our whole family is a member of 'Heavenly Bane Cult'."
"?!"
The doctor was quite surprised.
He didn't expect that Miss Maive's family was actually full of members of that kind of cult.
"'Heavenly Bane Cult' believes in the first Year-God among Old God, 'Scar Father', calling him 'Father God' and believing that He is the master of the world... And because 'Scar Father' desires wounds, bloodshed and killing, the members of the sect often use living sacrifices or self-mutilation to please Him, eager for Him to grant miracles."
"First Year-God'Scar Father'..." Gilan asked the girl, "Miss Maive, can you tell me about these 'Year-God'?"
Maive glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, then nodded with his lips pursed.
"It is rumored that the four Year-God participated in the creation of the world. They are ordered by the four seasons and are also symbols of the four pillar elements that make up the world..."
"The first Year-God'Scar Father' represents 'spring and fire'; the first Second Era-God'Mother of Fertility' represents 'summer and water'; The third Year-God 'Miss Gloomtear' represents 'autumn and wind'; and the fourth Year-God 'Mr. Pearl' represents 'winter and soil'."
"The four of them are also called 'Old God'."
When Maive said this, her tone trembled slightly, as if revealing all this information made her bear the sin of blasphemy. After saying that, she brought the topic back to "Heavenly Bane Cult":
"Because of their belief in 'Scar Father', the members of 'Heavenly Bane Cult' are very extreme and murderous. There is even an iron rule within the family called 'Firstborn Offering System'... The eldest son of any member's family must be sacrificed and killed alive in a large-scale ceremony dedicated to God the Father, and then eaten by the members."
Doctor Brennan and Gilan felt chills running down their spines as they listened to the girl's description.
This "Heavenly Bane Cult" is really inhumane and extremely cruel!
"Actually..." Then, Maive's tone was low and he stammered:
"Originally, as the eldest son in the family, I should have been sacrificed, but my mother couldn't bear it, so she raised me as a girl. Because of this, I have always lived in the world as a woman. Until last month, this matter was exposed, and my mother arranged for me to leave the south and study abroad to avoid the coercion of the cult..."
Brennan Doctor's mouth opened wide with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Maive little... sir? Are you a man?!"
"Woman!!" Maive looked very hurt when she saw the surprised expressions of the doctor and Gilan. She almost shouted in a collapsed tone.
The atmosphere was silent for a few seconds before Maive lowered his head and explained:
"I have been like this since I was a child... all the male characteristics of my body were removed by my mother using the 'Life Alchemy' technique, and mysterious means were added to completely complete the sex change. In fact, apart from being infertile, I am no different from a normal woman."
"I'm sorry, Miss Maive." Doctor Brennan apologized quickly, caressing his chest and bowing his head. "I would like to express my sincerest apology to you for my rudeness."
"It doesn't matter, I want to tell the secret myself."
Maive shook his head.
Gilan glanced at the girl in the white skirt and double ponytails without leaving any trace. It was indeed as the other party said. Her appearance, voice and even the psychological level were all the same as those of women. She was even more natural than ordinary women. This was much better than the sex reassignment surgery he knew in his previous life.
While I admire "Life Alchemy" in my heart, I am also surprised by the cruelty of "Heavenly Bane Cult"...Firstborn Offering System, this is simply killing the humanity of every member.
"Doctor Brennan, Miss Maive, you two will wait here for a while. I will go to the living sacrifice statue to investigate the situation again."
Gilan thought for a while and spoke to the two of them.
Maive's face changed slightly, and there was worry on the pretty face without blood.
"Mr. Gilan, those members of the cult will not communicate with you at all. They will even treat you as a living sacrifice and harm you..." she said.
"Don't worry, I'm sure to protect myself." Gilan said calmly. "The more you stay here, the more risk you will take. Those guys are blocking the only way to pass through the square. If we don't find a way to deal with them, we won't be able to get through at all."
Looking at his firm expression, Maive did not try to dissuade him anymore, but just said:
"Be careful, Mr. Gilan."
Gilan nodded to her, and asked Dr. Brennan to pay attention to the surroundings to avoid being discovered by the crazy villagers. He immediately took steps and left the Shimu Bungalow.
He hunched over and quietly walked a hundred meters away, once again arriving near the stone sculpture of the living sacrifice.
After thinking for a moment, Gilan took out the short-barreled revolver from his waist and tentatively pulled the trigger at one of the wolf-headed men.
Bang!!
The sound of gunshots echoed in the square. Gilan was only twenty meters away from the members of the cult, and the shot accurately hit the guy's head.
I saw a hole in the dead wolf's hood, blood spurting out, and it tilted its head and fell down.
'You'll die if you get shot!'
Gilan narrowed his eyes.
'It seems that it is still within the scope of ordinary people, which is very good!'
After experiencing two kinds of enemies, Prisoner Monster and Axe Man, he was almost suffering from sequelae. Now that he was facing a target that could be killed by a firearm, his mood suddenly improved a lot.
The sudden attack shocked the members of the cult who were dancing around the stone sculptures and chanting strange prayers.
The dead wolf hoods they were wearing all turned around and turned to look at Gilan. Under the hollowed-out wolf eye holes were pairs of bloodshot eyes.
"It's an outsider."
"To disrupt the rituals of God the Father is considered provocation and blasphemy."
"Mutilate him and present his flesh and blood as a sacrifice to God the Father."
Their hoarse voices came out from under the wolf hoods, and they communicated indifferently. At the same time, they held torches, saws and bone chopping knives in their hands, and surrounded Gilan.
Gilan did not take a step back, holding the gun expressionlessly.
Stroke the hammer with your left hand and squeeze the trigger with your right index finger at the same time.
Bang bang!!
Only two gunshots were heard, and the revolver fired five times in succession. Five Cultist fell to the ground immediately, three of them were shot in the head, and the other two were shot in the chest, bleeding all over the ground.
