354: Chapter 238 I Want to be a Venerable!
354 -238 I Want to be a Venerable!
Worship.
Parade.
Prayer.
The park, dense with flowers and grass, surrounded the fountain where people sang songs.
They also ate freshly baked, fragrant pastries, sitting on the grass and enjoying the sunshine and afternoon tea.
Such was a beautiful day in this town,
only the young boy was shivering in fear.
Though this day was filled with peace and everyday life, and everything seemed so normal, beautiful, and leisurely.
But…
The boy, fully awake, could see that every corner, every aspect of this place was filled with cruelty, the hidden sins were much thicker than imagined.
“The tiles of the church conceal various rotting viscera.”
“Below the soil among the flowers and grass, lies the foul stench of blood drenched.”
“The trees bear the traces of torture devices.”
“And…
the bread from the oven and those afternoon snacks, all reek of foulness.”
The boy almost vomited.
But he dared not react.
For some reason, his mind was unusually clear, and the ability to repeatedly escape during pursuits had returned.
Now he…
was well aware of the current situation.
“Many people are forced into this world, the only ones who survive are…
those who assimilate into everything.
Those who sense something wrong, struggle, resist, or run away are completely killed.”
The boy held the tea in his palm, pretending to drink but daring not to taste it.
Everything here…
had a hallucinogenic effect, including the food.
Even if his head knew he was facing death, he did not want to become one of those blurred in consciousness, blending in with everyone, and genuinely grateful to the Venerable.
Danger.
Everything was extremely dangerous.
…Though everyone here seemed like ordinary people, smiling comfortably and enjoying everything.
Sometimes they would warmly greet him, offering him food.
But…
the eeriness, bloodiness, and darkness of the entire town told him
that once these people showed their true nature, they would be…
vicious and brutally murderous.
They all had a lethal nature, and a bloodlust that not even white garments could conceal.
“I must escape, otherwise when the Venerable returns…
I fear I’ll never have a chance again.”
However,
the boy looked at the black pattern on his chest, then looked up at Su Qi, who originally seemed like a normal person—now turned the host of the parade.
He felt deeply despondent, with a sense of desperate sorrow.
“Can I really escape?”
Soon, the sunset appeared in the sky, and the sunlight faded.
The crowd also ended their day at the park, leaving cheerfully, not the least bit tired.
And the boy’s eyes slightly darkened as he returned to his place first.
Everyone had a separate room, where he could at least breathe a sigh of relief at night.
Yet,
he could still sense numerous gazes secretly watching him.
As the new guy…
unless he completely assimilated like them and entirely changed, he would always be under the surveillance of sinister gazes.
Thinking of escaping seemed like mere folly.
“And there’s not much time left.” The boy clenched his teeth.
Based on the information from today’s tea party, the Venerable and two protectors were scheduled to return tomorrow.
The Venerable, whom everyone devoutly worshiped—what kind of dangerous entity was he?
Once that entity returned, he probably would truly have no chance to leave.
“So, I must escape tonight.”
The boy’s eyes were resolute as he made his decision.
His abilities were not weak, he even had surprising talent and potential, but was unfortunately forced to flee, inadvertently getting involved in this perilous place.
“Now to wait.”
He would wait until everyone had gone to sleep, until the late hours of the night, using some of his evasion Tools to see if he could avoid the surveilling gazes and find a chance to escape.
The boy turned off the light.
In the dark environment, only his faint breathing could be heard, the surroundings were extremely quiet, the empty window frame allowing the pale moonlight to be seen.
At night it seemed everyone was resting.
Lying quietly for a while longer, the boy slowly got up, took a deep breath, and quietly left the room.
For some reason,
he felt that the surveilling gazes around him were gone, the surrounding silence was terrifying.
Cautiously treading around the house, looking back several times as he headed toward the central area.
“According to everything in this world, the residents have no channels to leave, but the Venerable, along with the protectors, can leave this world, which means there’s a transportation ritual in place.”
“After all, if this Venerable could tear through the spatial channel, his power must be similar to that of a Family Head; if he was a sequence five, there would be no need to establish this town.”
Of course, if he was wrong, so be it.
The boy’s mind was very clear right now, he wasn’t just playing along today but was gathering various pieces of information, assessing everything.
“The existence of this transportation ritual should be in the central Venerable Garden, where the baptisms take place and is also guarded.” The boy recalled today’s experiences: “Apart from the baptism, today’s garden visit was the only place I hadn’t approached close to.”
The boy had a plan and clues, and immediately began to act.
“First is the guard…”
Very tricky.
He had noticed on the first day that there were many guards in the Venerable Garden…
at least ten.
They did not mingle like the residents, never participating in parades, but a dangerous aura could faintly be sensed from them.
