Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 31 Shadow (Please read!)
Index was unsure how much the priest in front of her knew, let alone what he was thinking.

But in fact, for Luo Xiu, what he thought or said was not important.

——This is a purely "psychological" game.

"You only told the truth at the end."

"Luo Xiu said calmly: "Want to kill the Lord of Blood Sacrifice... Well, we have the same goal for the time being."

"But you tried to deceive me. You have missed the best opportunity to confess."

"If I kill you now, rumors will spread that I just killed a cultist in accordance with the mission of [Glory]."

"And you, you will die with regrets, you will have nothing, you will only become my stepping stone."

"..."

Finally, Index's forehead began to sweat slightly and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"I'm not...I, I didn't..."

She started to get scared...?
This is exactly what Luo Xiu hoped to see, the result of the "fear" he personally created.

"Then...Intis Fugne."

Luo Xiu said calmly: "I can give you one more chance. This is the last chance."

"There are only two choices before you at this moment."

"Or, I will kill you with my own hands..."

"Or, become my shadow...Intis, you have great potential."

Luo Xiu crossed his fingers and said the last sentence in a cold voice:
"Tell me, what is your choice, Intis?"

……

silence.

There was a long silence.

"I want to live, my lord." Index finally said, "But, compared to 'that person', you are still too weak..."

"Weak?"

Luo Xiu smiled slightly, "Weakness is the best disguise... isn't it? This can make the enemy unconsciously relax their vigilance."

"But since you said so, I can also tell you..."

Luo Xiu changed his tone and said, "I know all the weaknesses of the 'Lord of Blood Sacrifice'."

What...? Index opened her eyes wide.

"For example," Luo Xiu tapped his fingers, "your 'lord' needs to undergo 'blood transfusions' regularly, otherwise he will die."

"......!" Index's eyes were filled with astonishment. When she looked at Luo Xiu again, she felt that he was covered with a thick fog that was difficult to see through.

"For example," Luo Xiu continued, "for a week before and after every full moon night, he cannot step out of your "forbidden area" because of the "curse", otherwise he will die."

"You...how do you know..." Index murmured. These were the "secrets" that only the top leaders of "Blood of Thorns" could access!
Even Index had only heard of this secret, but never fully understood it!

"Also," Luo Xiu continued with a smile, "He has already sacrificed half of his soul to the 'Throne of Destruction', so he needs to sacrifice the souls of others regularly, otherwise he will die..."

"…Am I right, Index?"

After saying these "secrets", Luo Xiu asked with a smile on his face.

"..."Intis was silent.

At this moment, no words could describe the strong shock that Luo Xiu brought to her.

Index only vaguely knew about this "secret" information, but she herself realized that what Luo Xiu said about the weaknesses of the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" was very likely to be true!

"..."

Finally, after a fierce psychological struggle.

Index knelt on the ground and performed the "servant" etiquette to Luo with a humble attitude.

"I don't have the power to choose, sir..."

Index whispered:
"...From now on, I will be your shadow, at your disposal."

……

……

This was the first time that Luo Xiu showed his evil face in front of the NPC.

What Index obviously didn't know was that... these hidden weaknesses of the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" that Luo Xiu knew about actually came from information from his previous life.

In fact, according to what Luo Xiu remembered at this moment, regarding the various secrets of "God's Destiny", he could already open an intelligence station and become the intelligence chief who sold intelligence.

Of course, this might also make him die faster... Luo Xiu shook his head and threw this sudden idea out of his mind. ...

After completing the "conquest" of Index, Luo Xiu naturally obtained the "two-faced doll" from Index.

In order to prevent Index from betraying him again, Luo Xiu performed the "Family Inscription" on her.

This is a usage of the [Abyss] engraving technique, and the effect is equivalent to a primary slave emblem. It can sense the opponent's state from the source, and deprive the opponent of some of his power when the opponent intends to hurt himself.

However, this type of engraving is unstable and can only temporarily replace the specialized "dependency" or "slave emblem" skills, and also needs to be reinforced regularly.

But Luo Xiu knew that given Index's current mental state, she would not have any rebellious intentions in the short term... She still needed time to digest the huge amount of information.

After that, Luo Xiu opened the window and let Index leave on her own.

From then on, Index was his shadow, his most hidden blade.

……

The next morning.

When Luo Xiu woke up and opened the door, he ran into Priest Ivan who had just gotten up.

Ivan glanced over and saw Luo Xiu's messy room.

There was a huge hole on the floor, many glass and ceramic ornaments were knocked over and broken, and there were pieces of cotton flannel in every corner...

Just as Luo Xiu was about to explain something, Ivan spoke first:

"You really work hard, Luo Xiu. I didn't expect that you were also diligently practicing 'Holy Light Annihilation' last night..."

"...?"

"Well... yes, did I disturb you?" Luo Xiu followed suit.

Ivan waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I was drunk last night too. I only heard a little noise."

"I'm glad I didn't disturb you." Luo Xiu nodded.

To be honest, Luo Xiu was really exhausted after fighting last night.

So he fell asleep after letting Index leave, planning to clean up in the morning.

This was not stained with blood like the last time when he killed two blood disciples. From Luo Xiu's own point of view, this could only be considered an ordinary house demolition at best.

……

Luo Xiu quickly changed into his priest robes and then went to the church hall.

From today on, Luo Xiu will no longer have to preside over the "Praise" - since Ivan came back and he himself was promoted to a transcendent with a double destiny, the task of guiding the believers in the praise will officially fall back on Ivan's shoulders.

So this day is a rare holiday for Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu glanced at Priest Ivan's back.

Since Ivan returned to the church, he seemed to be enjoying his time during the "Praise".

"Father Ivan!" The ladies in gorgeous clothes surrounded Ivan. "Are you going to preside over the ceremony today? We haven't seen you for a long time. We really miss you and are looking forward to it!"

"Oh, beautiful ladies..."

An extremely contagious smile appeared on Ivan's face. His already fair face, after being carefully groomed, had a delicate texture like a woman's under the sun.

“The glorious scriptures have recorded that worshiping together with all of you nectar-like ladies is the greatest gift that can be bestowed upon us at any moment…” Ivan said with a smile.

"...?"

"…Are you sure these are in the scriptures?"

Luo Xiu tilted his head, but looking at Ivan's gentle and cheerful state, he just shook his head, too lazy to expose him.

Ivan... Never mind, let him be.

According to Luo Xiu's plan, he should leave Chenxi Town tomorrow, so he is very casual about everything now.

Tomorrow, Luo Xiu will prepare to report to the "Holy Court" branch in Sina City, and there he will take the final test to "become a Holy Judge."

But today, he still had one last thing to do in Dawn Town.

After conquering Index, the crisis of "Dawn Town" being destroyed by the Blood of Thorns was basically resolved.

However, Luo Xiu still remembered another purpose of Thornblood's massacre of the entire town in his previous life...

——The ancient seal at the bottom of Chenxi Town, and the "ancient existence" sealed in it!
This is the biggest hidden danger in Chenxi Town!

"Those cultists want to awaken it and enslave it..." Luo Xiu shook his head.

"That can only be my prey."
