Rebirth: Kill Through the Doomsday Game

Chapter 45 Cult
Gu Lingxin gathered strength around her body, and blazing flames burst out. The [Fire] attacked the woman at an unavoidable distance. Although the woman immediately raised her knife to deal with it, her skin was still burned black. Together with the Zhenwu sect disciples and officials who had just seen that the woman had the upper hand and wanted to rush to deal with her, they were all blasted away.

Although he could use [Devil Whisper] to affect the woman herself, which was a countermeasure to a certain extent, but Gu Lingxin really didn't want to face that terrifying face.

[Reproduction] Among the information collected about other awakening abilities, there is one thing that Gu Lingxin has never quite understood. Is the term "danger level" judged by the ability itself, or by the owner of the ability?
Gu Lingxin thought about it for a while and came to the conclusion that it was the former.

[Devil Whisper] is indeed a very terrifying ability, but looking at the woman's violent reaction just now, it is obvious that when Gu Lingxin [reproduces] and uses this ability, the power it exerts is greater than when the woman uses it herself. More, she could guess some of the reasons. After [swallowing] the spiritual crystal of the sea chasm, the power that can be used to activate the awakening ability is enhanced. The power produced by using [Devil Whisper] is greater than that used by the woman.

Without giving the woman a chance to react, Gu Lingxin put away her grimace and quickly formed two wind blades in the direction of the woman's retreat.

"Puff!" The wind blade hit the woman, leaving two blood marks that were deep enough to show the bones.

The woman was in pain and glanced at Gu Lingxin resentfully, then turned around and ran back without looking back. Upon seeing this, the officials who were wearing the same clothes as her stepped forward to cover her retreat in solidarity. Gu Lingxin mobilized her strength and ran back again. Several air blades condensed from [hurricanes] passed by, scattering the NPCs gathered at the front who were eager to try. Seeing that the situation was over, everyone fled one after another.

Gu Lingxin did not use her awakening ability anymore. She looked at the quickly retreating crowd, thoughtfully.

It seems that the ones who instigated the NPC to encircle and suppress the Blood Clothes Sect were Wen Renchang and the female awakener with [Devil Whisper]. The latter is not wearing Zhenwumen costumes, so this player is assigned to the third camp in this "game"...

This "game" is really interesting. Gu Lingxin and other people walked away, their figures gradually becoming illusory. They stepped past the corpses on the ground, and using the cover of [Shadow], they followed a small group of NPCs in official uniforms from a distance.

The officials dispersed after returning to the government office. Gu Lingxin was in the [shadow] and his eyes quickly locked on a thin woman wearing a police officer's clothes.

If she remembered correctly, the awakened person with [Devil Whisper] just now seemed to have conspired with this woman before taking action. But he was far away at the time, so Gu Lingxin didn't hear it.

Activate [Remake] on it and find that the other party does not have the ability to awaken.

The other party returned to the private room in the government office, washed up neatly, and fell into a deep sleep.

Gu Lingxin:...

Not getting any information, Gu Lingxin turned around and was about to leave, when she caught a glimpse of many files stacked on the bookshelf against the wall. After a brief hesitation, Gu Lingxin walked over and opened the books one by one with the faint light coming from the window.

This should contain important plots and information about the "official" camp.

However, the scroll that Gu Lingxin received when opened was not a record of the sect's secret knowledge similar to what she had seen in the Blood Clothes Sect's books, but a brief description and development process of the Zhenwu Sect.

Gu Lingxin read ten lines at a glance and quickly realized that the Zhenwu Sect was an ordinary Jianghu sect, with nothing special about it other than being Wen Renchang's "camp".

Gu Lingxin grabbed another scroll and opened it, "Xiaoyao Sect", "Flying Tiger Sect", "Youyan Sect"... Until she picked up the scroll of "Blood Clothes Sect", she thought they were all the development of sects she had seen in the Blood Clothes Sect. History, but Gu Lingxin took a cursory glance and was suddenly stunned.

"The Blood Clothes Sect of the evil cult takes the blood of living people to make poison, and gouges out the corpses of the dead to make corpses. The crimes are difficult to describe, and everyone can punish them. However, its internal skills and martial arts are so powerful that there are few opponents in the world..."

"...The Secret Technique of the Blood Clothes Sect is only passed down to direct descendants. Hundreds of corpses are refined, and half of them, men and women, are placed in the formation. At the eye of the formation, one can gain the art of controlling the corpse..."

"...Ten sects joined forces and were able to destroy the Blood Clothes Sect. The witch Li Sang fell off the cliff, but her body was not found. Her direct descendants fled and are missing. Anyone who finds her whereabouts will be rewarded with a thousand gold..."

This Li Sang should be the previous blood-clothed sect leader.

The Bloody Clothes Sect is a cult? Gu Lingxin stared blankly at the columns of words, feeling confused. But she didn't see anything related to corpse refining in the books recording martial arts techniques in the Blood Clothes Sect. Besides, in such a small courtyard, how could a large array of hundreds of corpses be arranged?
But it was true that the sect was on the verge of being exterminated. The only disciple she could come into contact with was Li Xu - a teenage boy who only knew how to farm and cook, and had nothing to do with refining gu and refining corpses. Moreover, since he was not an upright martial arts sect, why did Shu Shihan, a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect, be friends with Li Xu and Li Pan's masters?
Gu Lingxin continued to look back. The second half of the file recorded the Jianghu sects and some villages that the Blood Clothes Sect had massacred. Judging from the level of detail, it seemed that this was indeed the case, which was why it later aroused public outrage in the martial arts world, causing various sects to fight against each other. The factions joined forces one after another.

Gu Lingxin frowned and put the scroll back on the shelf. Because she was distracted thinking about things, she didn't pay attention and the scroll fell down unsteadily.

"Who!" The female detective was wearing pajamas, holding a knife and sticking her head out to look at the bookshelf.

Gu Lingxin was in the [Shadow] and was not worried that she would find him, but the file of the Blood Clothes Sect actually fell to the ground.

The female catcher quickly saw that the scroll had fallen and looked around cautiously. The door of the house was closed and the windows were also closed. She breathed a sigh of relief and bent down to pick up the scroll.

Gu Ling thought for a moment and lifted the [Shadow].

A person suddenly appeared in front of her, and the female detective's eyes widened. However, before she could cry out, Gu Lingxin covered her mouth, pressed her against the wall, and snatched the knife away from its sheath.

"Woooooo!" The female agent had seen Gu Lingxin's abilities during the day, and with her knowledge of the Blood Clothes Sect, she struggled particularly hard under Gu Lingxin's hands.

"My lord, could you please be quiet?" Gu Lingxin's eyes suddenly glowed with a golden light, accompanied by the aura of a superior person who was not angry and confident. The female catcher only felt that she was in those eyes. Under the watchful eye, all intentions of escaping were known, and there was no loophole to exploit.

But she still kept making "wow" sounds out of nervousness.

"Shut your mouth if you don't want to die!" Gu Lingxin showed the face of a female devil that fit the disciples of the Blood Clothes Sect.

The female catcher quickly lowered her voice and became quiet.
