My esoteric uncle Jules

Chapter 25 The Wave and the Secret of the Red Cup

Karl turned his eyes with difficulty, trying to see Jules' appearance clearly.

"Who are you……"

That shot was definitely blessed with the destructive power of the Forging Code!
Even though he was a second-level feaster, he would find it difficult to resist such terrifying power if he was caught off guard.

After a long time, he felt the fear of death again.

Jules looked down at Karl and said calmly:
"Tell me, after you kill Ruth, what are you going to do with her?"

He discovered that Carl's body was surprisingly strong. In just a moment, the terrible injury had even begun to stabilize.

After twitching for a while, Carl's condition gradually stabilized and he said with difficulty:

"You won't let me go, why should I tell you?"

Jules stared at Karl, his eyes narrowed slightly:
"But I can let you experience what you call 'wanting to live but not being able to, wanting to die but not being able to'."

He took out a knife and slowly cut a piece of meat from Carl.

"what!"

The severe pain caused Carl to scream again, but he quickly suppressed the pain and showed a strange smile:

"It's useless. We are already pursuing pain, and your actions will only make me more happy."

Hearing this, Jules just smiled:
"That means the pain isn't enough."

He slowly removed the Holy Emblem from the pistol and then attached it to the knife.

Although the shape was funny, it made Carl even more frightened.

"You, what are you going to do!"

Jules said nothing, but just leisurely made some fancy moves on Karl's arm.

This time, Carl was not as calm as before, but screamed wildly. Along with the screams, there was also a strange smell of meat, which even made Ruth, who was not far away, swallow her saliva subconsciously.

As Jules tortured Karl to death, he sarcastically said:

“The cup’s temptations are greater than its pain, yet pain is its true nature.

It seems that you are still quite far away from the Red Cup you serve."

"Introduction to Mysticism" mentions that the field of the Law of Cups is related to desire, pain, fertility, etc. The hour of this law is called the Red Cup, "food, sex, and indulgence without return."

But the book also emphasizes that while superficially following the rules of the cup may bring temporary pleasure, they will ultimately lead to deeper pain.

Simply put, the esoteric believers who follow the code of the cup are basically all somewhat perverted, a bit like the "Slaanesh" that Jules had learned about before.

However, after hearing Jules' words, Carl, despite screaming, still managed to roar back:

"Wrong, absolutely wrong. The Red Cup is nothing but a false god. The god we serve is a truly great being who existed before the birth of mankind. Wave!

The Red Cup thought it had drunk the tide and usurped its authority, but it must be understood that the tide is endless..."

Wave? Hearing this name, Yule's eyes showed a wave for the first time.

Could it be that the call from the depths of the ocean, and the seabed that Lolita mentioned, is related to the waves?

Even when Lolita described her dreams every day, she would occasionally mention that there were huge waves sweeping away everything.

Although Carl did not mention the scope of his abilities, judging from the phrase "usurping authority", Wave's scope obviously overlaps to a certain extent with Red Cup.

Jules pondered for a moment, then began to make some fancy moves on Karl.

"I don't care which god you believe in. If you don't spit something out of your mouth, don't blame me for continuing to cut."

He was not too worried that someone would find this place. He had checked it during the day. The sound insulation here was very good. Moreover, the location was remote and rarely visited. Even if Carl shouted at the top of his lungs, no one would come.

Carl obviously also realized this possibility, he screamed:

"I say, I say! Ruth is the surviving descendant of the Red Cup, so I will force her to commit suicide and sacrifice her to the Great Wave to begin the ritual!"

He spoke very quickly, fearing that Jules would cut him with the next knife.

Yule's hand hovered in the air and he asked calmly:
"Then, you will remove her internal organs and flesh, turning her into a zombie driven by desire?" Carl retorted subconsciously:
"How is that possible? That would be such a waste! I must have eaten it..."

After he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong and his face turned pale.

Jules sighed and shook his head:

"Sure enough."

He had already guessed about this, but hearing it with his own ears was a completely different experience.

The other party is indeed addicted to cannibalism and is beyond cure.

Ruth was already frightened out of her wits, but she had already calmed down a lot. When she heard Karl's words, she was even more angry:
"It's all because of you. If my mother hadn't come into contact with you, how could she..."

Karl suddenly cursed:
"You know shit! The adult world is never as easy as you little brats think! If it weren't for my help, do you think you could still live the comfortable life you have now?!"

His eyes were a little red, but after looking at Yule, he was immediately frightened and calmed down a lot.

Because he saw that the knife in Jules' hand was shaking and about to fall.

"Tell me, what's the situation with Titanic's machine spirit?"

Jules used a knife to scrape Karl's skin layer by layer, smiling harmlessly:

"I heard that the Church of Steam was 100% certain that Titanic had no Machine Soul, but I found the shadow of a Machine Soul. What's going on?"

Karl's expression suddenly changed, but it wasn't one of panic, but shock.

"How did you discover the Machine Soul?!"

Jules said in a cold tone:

"I'm asking you now, not you asking me." As he said this, he cut another piece of meat from Carl.

"The Church of Steam wanted to build a giant ship that would not give birth to machine souls, but I mixed something into the steel I supplied them." Carl was a little confused, and even more frightened.

How come the person in front of me knows everything?

A giant ship that won't give birth to machine spirits? Yule suddenly felt a little confused. He had always believed that machine spirits were something the Church of Steam actively created and coexisted with. Why would they deliberately exclude them?

He thought for a moment and said:
"Do you know why they do this?"

Carl shook his head frantically:

"I don't know. If I knew, I wouldn't just be practicing the invisible art in secret."

Jules was silent for a moment, then asked one last question:
"What's on the bottom of the ocean?"

Carl's eyes suddenly became pious and fanatical:

"My Lord, the Wave, sleeps in the endless depths of the ocean! One day, He will return and shatter the Red Cup!"

"I see," Yule nodded and stabbed the back of his head with a knife. "Goodbye, I won't see you off."

He had no intention of letting the other party go from the beginning.

Carl's expression gradually froze, his eyes lost their luster, and he became completely dead.
