CHAPTER 148: CHAPTER 98: SHADOWS BEHIND THE CURTAIN (PART 2)

"Just now there wasn’t, but now there is, what’s with all this messy chiseling," Number Zero leaned on the pillar, inspecting the first row of characters that Yijie had carved, crooked and skewed like a row of earthworms bravely crawling forward.

"We should leave this place as soon as possible," Yijie had no desire to encounter such a thing for a second time, this temple, and that woman called Ziyu, were both too strange.

"Before we leave, let’s find a suitable spot for this pillar," instructed Number Zero, pointing at the stone pillar, its appearance may be unsightly, but it could still be used to fool Ziyu.

At another place in the temple. "Goddess?" Maid Fu Li had come looking for the Goddess before, and she wasn’t there at that time, but now, hearing some noise from the Goddess’s room, she came searching again.

Painful moans were coming from inside, and Maid Fu Li hurriedly pushed the door open, only to quickly shut it upon seeing the scene before her.

Apoli lay naked in front of the bed, her pure white body displaying a fiery red divine image.

Maid Fu Li fixed her gaze on that divine image and hastily knelt down to worship.

"Fu Li... help me up," Apoli felt a burning pain in her chest as if seared by a hot iron.

"God, please forgive the Goddess’s capriciousness," Fu Li muttered prayerfully, her face numb, completely oblivious to Apoli’s anguish.

"I am the Goddess, Fu Li," Apoli cried out, her fingers twisting into the carpet. The soft carpet had been pulled and distorted by her grip.

"No, you are just the Goddess chosen by the Main God," Fu Li prayed devoutly.

As if responding to her prayers, the fiery red divine image gradually turned white, and the visage of a woman emerged on Apoli’s chest.

"Apoli, I have told you many times before, you must rid yourself of lust, otherwise, you cannot continue to act as the Main God’s Goddess," Apoli was beautiful enough, but the woman’s visage on her chest was a thousand times more so.

The woman’s visage was pure and holy, while Apoli was covered in filth like dust.

"Stop pretending to be the Main God’s Messenger, it was you who made me kill my sister, and you who told me to seduce the men who stay here overnight, you are not the Main God’s Messenger, you oppose the Hammurabi Code, you are a demon’s messenger," Apoli turned all her pain into hatred and accused the woman of her crimes.

"Fu Li, let your Goddess rest properly, she has gone mad over an unsuccessful seduction. And keep an eye on the two soldiers who have moved in, especially that woman." The woman’s visage was still shining. She and Apoli had always been good partners. Apoli was licentious by nature, and she used the Forbidden Technique to help subdue those men.

Apoli and her sister Ziyu were different; she had no talent for healing but was eager to truly take on the role of a Goddess. Apoli’s temperament was also more easily manipulated, which is why the woman had bewitched her one night.

But just now, an ordinary player had broken her "Forbidden Technique," something that wouldn’t even happen in reality.

Fu Li complied, helping Apoli onto the bed and feeding her some calming powder. Once Apoli calmed down, the woman’s visage also disappeared.

The nights in Babylon were long and pitch black, with everyone engaged in their secretive deeds.

On Birui Island, Xianxian exited "Military Road." There was confusion in her eyes. It was a pity that Number Zero and Yijie didn’t see the visage on Apoli’s chest; otherwise, they would recognize that Xianxian, the Holy Daughter of the David Sect, was indeed the "Living God" referred to by Maid Fu Li.

"Why did Father choose such a method to enter ’Military Road’," Xianxian seemed to have become distant from Lin Yi after the last time Saint Father David forbade her from contacting him, but, in fact, she had not given up. When Saint Father David asked her to find a way into "Military Road," she began to merge into "Military Road."

She didn’t have a soldier’s ID, so she couldn’t normally enter as a soldier player. After a long search, she found a loophole and accessed Military Road in the guise of a Main God’s Messenger, leaning over Apoli.

Tonight, when Apoli tried to seduce and control Yijie, Xianxian, seeing Yijie who also had strong military traits, couldn’t help but ask.

Although Yijie did not respond, she thought of a way to contact Lin Yi. As long as she found Lin Yi’s identity in the game, she could connect with him through it.

"Military Road" felt so real, as though it were reality itself.

"If I can exist as an identity within the game, can I break through the barriers of reality and be with Lin Yi," Xianxian sighed, nurturing an idea that had been brewing in her heart for a long time.

"Xianxian," a pleasing male voice came from who knows where.

Xianxian tensed up, Saint Father David was not someone who liked to interfere in personal lives and was not strict with her, but he seemed to be omnipresent. This made her even more anxious.

"How is everything going in ’Military Road’," Saint Father David did not appear before Xianxian. While speaking, the computer in front of Xianxian lit up, and Saint Father David appeared on the screen. It turned out to be through the computer network, and Xianxian breathed a sigh of relief.

"It’s all going smoothly," Xianxian was careful not to let her previous emotions show on her face, "but tonight, I met someone inside who was able to break my psychic constriction."

"Oh? Where did you meet them, and do you know who it is?" Saint Father David had great confidence in the David Sect’s psychic constriction techniques; he was quite surprised and curious as to who had that kind of ability. (To be continued.
