Inner Destroyer

　The girl went to capture Professor Vanstra five days ago and ended up

14

　Wen Lan, a magical girl from Singapore, was abducted by hypnosis.

　And she was already dead.

　Someone dug out the magical girl's heart with a sharp knife, then stuffed something into the empty chest to fill it up again.

　Eight maidens carried the chest to the black stone platform and sang as they opened it: "Great Old King, the Green God!"

　"Respond to his pain and help him start over!"

　“Perfection comes through suffering, and glory comes through trials!”

　As they sang, they took out the body of a chickenless man from the box, chopped it into fourteen pieces, dug out the internal organs, squeezed out the juice, then filled the hollow pieces with frankincense and cinnamon, and sewed the pieces back together with needle and thread.

　Wash the corpse, apply makeup, and then carefully wrap it with white linen strips - just like that, a mummy is freshly baked!

　The maids pushed the mummy to the front of the Black Throne while it was still hot and retreated respectfully.

　"who--"

　Then Professor Vanstra tapped the ground twice with his cane and said in a deep voice,

　"Is it our goddess?"

　"Isis, Isis."

　The girls chanted the name softly and repeatedly. Their eyes were hazy, but their emotions were excited, as if they were high.

　"Isis, Isis."

　“Who is our God?”

　Professor Vanstra continued to ask.

　"Osiris," the four chickenless men answered in unison. "Osiris, Osiris."

　"Who will sit on the throne?"

　Professor Vanstra asked a question.

　"Horus,"

　The men and women answered together,

　"Horus! Horus!"

　The moment she heard the name, Elaine knew things were going to get bad. But she didn't move. She didn't dare. If Qi Xing were here, he might be able to leap out and disrupt the ceremony with a single punch, but Elaine didn't have that kind of strength.

　"Great Osiris, the Green King."

　"Respond to our pain and guide us to start over."

　"For perfection comes through suffering, and glory comes through trials!"

　"Osiris will triumph over his enemies and become immortal like Ra; just as Ra was reborn yesterday, so he will be reborn today!"

　Professor Vanstra raised his cane and intoned, then commanded, "It's time!"

　At the call, the maids began to pour a large bucket of mummy juice into the mouth of the magical girl Wenlan's corpse, until her stomach was swollen like a balloon.

　In an instant, something invisible to the naked eye began to stir and wriggle wildly in her stomach!

　This was not a tragedy that a human body should endure at all, and it horrified Elaine, who was also a woman.

　This is the ultimate █ ...

　"Isis, Isis," the girls sighed.

　"Osiris, Osiris!" the men roared.

　"Horus! Horus!"

　They called out together.

　With a "puff," the sound of water could be heard. However, that was not the sound of birth, but the body of the magical girl Wen Lan, unable to withstand the overwhelming influx of divine power, exploded into a pool of blood amid the shouts of the crowd.

　At the same time, the mummy placed before the throne spontaneously combusted, the entire body burning to ash in just a few seconds, leaving only billowing smoke and rotting bones.

　It seems that their call was unsuccessful.

　"Damn it, I still failed!"

　Professor Vanstra was obviously very disappointed and angry. He hit the ashes hard with his crooked stick.

　"Failure, and then failure again! What's wrong?! How can I make this penis grow back?"

　The hypnotized maids were not afraid of his anger and meekly suggested, "Perhaps it's because the person playing the goddess is not good enough?"

　“Perhaps a real wife is needed to play Isis in order to revive Osiris,” another maid suggested.

　"Where can we find such a young girl who just got married and has magical talent?" Professor Vanstra gritted his teeth, dissatisfied.

　"Just now, a young Greek couple boarded the ship at Tokyo Harbor," the third maid said gently. "Why don't we try it with the wife?"

　Elaine, who was hiding in the shadows and peeking, was now sweating profusely.

　006: It won’t be given for free!

　As an exorcist nun assigned to the "Association", Elaine has been working with Qi Xing to exorcise demons for two years.

　After two years, she couldn't be said to have particularly rich practical experience, but just by playing supporting role beside Qi Xing and seeing all kinds of big monsters and evil creatures coming and going, she could not be considered an inexperienced rookie.

　Even so, even though she had faced many powerful enemies before, she couldn't help but tremble now. An incomparable fear gripped her heart.

　Exorcists live in close proximity to death, but Elaine isn't particularly afraid of it. It's the inevitable fate that befalls everyone, and for believers, it's the gateway to heaven. Too much fear can lead to nothing. Furthermore, exorcists are a profession that values ​​their own lives, sacrificing them for the peace of others, let alone the need for it.

　However, Professor Vanstra was perhaps the most powerful psychic she had ever encountered. Just looking into his eyes would hypnotize an ordinary person; if an ordinary exorcist stared at him for too long, they would likely suffer a mental breakdown and go insane.

　She knew very well that some things were more painful than death.

　(His file a year ago was just an ordinary

15

　A master, at best, is considered a [Mentor Level (5=6)], it's impossible to reach this level in just one year.)

　But no matter how scared she was, Elaine could still force herself to keep thinking. This qualification was also why she could still play support beside the strongest despite her second-rate combat ability.

　(Using a holy relic to strengthen it? But that's not how the Holy Lance should be used... After he dug out the magical girl Wenlan's heart, did he put something else in it?)

　Sometimes brute force alone can't solve everything. Someone has to rack their brains to gather intelligence, formulate plans, and prepare backup plans so that they have a way out when the critical moment comes.

　(I saw the ceremony, understood its meaning, had a rough idea of ​​the key points, and knew where half of the children had been taken.)

　Now you have a ridiculously powerful demon in front of you, what should you do?

　Common sense says that it's almost time for Derby to go up and get killed.

　But Elaine chose to hold her breath, hide her breath, turn around and slowly run away.

　A lot of crucial intelligence had already been gathered. At this point, if he didn't flee quickly, didn't quickly go back and shake Qi awake to fight the boss, or even foolishly rushed to save them, he would be truly foolish.

　Although there are too many exorcist girls in this world who are not smart enough, at least Elaine has been raised to 60 points by Qi Xing.

　"Young couple? Don't talk nonsense!"

　But in the distance, Professor Vanstra was furious.

　"How could a second-hand item like that, which must have been worn out by the wayside, become the Goddess of Birth and make me whole again?!"

　After cursing, he turned to look at the little girls kneeling around him. His eyes were like a desperate middle-aged man looking at a small advertisement for men's health treatment on a telephone pole.

　"Only these pure children, uncontaminated girls, might have a chance of curing me..."

　Elaine, a 100% virgin, shuddered secretly and quickly continued to slip away.

　But the next moment, she found herself unable to move.

　A powerful spiritual energy had forced her to stand still.

　"Everyone be quiet!"

　Professor Vanstra's annoyed voice suddenly changed its tone, becoming serious and solemn.

　"We have a new guest among us. A pure and fearful guest... peeking in."

　At the same time, Elaine felt a sharp pain in her head, a burning sensation that penetrated her very bones—Professor Vanstra was scanning and searching for her with his terrifyingly powerful will.

　Although Elaine immediately erected a mental barrier in her heart to isolate her thoughts, this could not prevent the hypnotist from discovering her presence.

　"Come out quickly, little exorcist girl."

　He sneered, his voice filled with a smugness that he was too lazy to hide.

　"I thought she was secondhand, but she's actually a rare virgin married woman! This is the perfect miracle to become a Birth Goddess. Come out now!"

　One had to admit that he was deeply versed in this art, and his immense spiritual power was not to be underestimated. Even after preparing herself mentally, Elaine's calf still twitched, and the stabbing pain in her head grew more intense.

　"You can't get away, young lady. Show yourself."

　Maybe he's not wrong.

　Elaine took a deep breath and began to prepare. She pulled a piece of paper from her clothes and gently pressed it against the bulkhead.

　She was terrified. But theoretically, even if her life became worse than death, as long as she could pass on key intelligence about the enemy to Qi Xing, she wouldn't consider her life a complete failure.

　Qi Xing might be tired and exhausted, and would complain about his ten years of demon-slaying with no results, but Yi Lian scoffed at this because she never felt that way.

　Because she truly believed that as long as the evil demon was dragged onto a fair stage, Qi Xing would definitely be able to slay the demon and defeat the evil. Only in this matter did Elaine absolutely believe in Qi Xing and his "strength".

　So Elaine never intended to give it away for free.

　She took a deep breath and exhaled, her heart beating violently in her chest. Two revolvers fell out of her sleeves and into her hands, which she held tightly.

　“O Lord my God, you will make my lamp shine; you will illuminate my darkness.”

　Even if she was still afraid the moment before, as soon as she opened her mouth to pray, the fear would dissipate from Elaine's heart, and confidence would overflow from her chest, as if a flame was ignited in her heart.

　"I will charge into the enemy with your help. Your light will be like the breaking dawn. The glory of the Lord will be my rearguard."

　just sing!

　The blessed girl prayed loudly. In an instant, sword-like rays of white light pierced through the darkness, like the intestines of a monster, exploding with a brilliant light even brighter than the sun!

　"Ahhh?!"

　Dozens of worshippers and maids were pierced by the unbridled light. The holy light bestowed by the merciful God mercilessly burned their eyes.

　"Being clever."

　Only Professor Vanstra was unaffected. He just tutted in annoyance and raised the staff in his hand.

　But Elaine had already pulled the trigger.

　The ammunition consisted of consecrated pure silver .45 bullets, a human weapon theoretically capable of killing demons. Twelve bullets flew towards the professor, several maids, and the Black Throne—and for some reason, they even specifically targeted the pool of magical girl's flesh on the ground!

　The professor snorted coldly. The bullets flying towards him were ripped apart by the telekinesis that twisted space; the three bullets that flew towards the flesh and blood on the ground were frozen in mid-air.

　On the contrary, he ignored the other bullets and let the consecrated bullets hit the Black Throne and rip the throats of several maids.

　The Holy Bullet was useless to him. But this just confirmed Elaine's guess—

16

　The professor must have placed something important inside the magical girl's body, and he didn't even dare let the nun take a crack at it. The importance of the object he was concerned about was obvious.

　This information was enough for Qi Xing to gain an advantage in the battle.

　She silently apologized to the victims in her heart, and without saying a word, Elaine turned around and ran away!

　The depths of the "Inner World" are a different world where the creator is a god. However, such great power often comes with a price, such as conditions or weaknesses. For example, the creator needs mental energy to maintain the "Inner World". For example, if they escape through the passage and return to the shallow layer or even the "Surface World", their influence will be greatly reduced.

　Every level of every "inner world" has at least one passage leading to another level or another world. Elaine only needs to take one more step!

　"stop!"

　Unfortunately, her feet were still a little slow.

　In that split second, the professor roared, and the chill that chilled the nun's entire body pierced her back like an ice knife. Just as her foot was about to step into the exit, her body froze again.
