Chapter 512
"Anybody? Go and check whether the two women over there are still breathing or not . "
After they blocked the entrance, the group of duoluozhong began to search the underground shrine . They tore the entire space down yet nobody saw any sign of their two soon-to-be comrades . Warden remained standing still . It gave its order, and a duoluozhong dawdled to his side and kicked the woman that laid lifelessly on the ground .
"She is dead," unlike its confrère, the sound of this duoluozhong was soft and melodious . Its voice was coming out directly from its arctic-white head that deprived of any facial features, "No, wait, it seems that this one…"
Although one of the pregnant women had survived the stabs, she looked like a person with her one foot in the grave . The duoluozhong lifted her by grabbing her already weakened neck, without minding on the strength it used .
Crack .
As a result, it crushed her throat .
"Oh, now she's dead," the faceless duoluozhong shrugged, hurling the pregnant woman's corpse to the ground .
"Hah!" The woman let out a sarcastic laugh, causing the warden to turn its head around .
"Tell me, where are they?" The warden asked the woman softly, " . . . You should know very well that even though you bear the child of God, we still have many other ways to deal with you . "
Spit .
The woman spat phlegm and blood on the warden's face .
Raising her head, the woman revealed her face that was hidden under her unkempt hair . She had high cheekbones and an etiolated complexion . Perhaps the only thing that remained unchanged on her face was her straight and sharp nose, "Just kill me!"
Her answer amused the warden a lot . It tilted its head and scrutinized her from her head to her toes . After a few seconds, the warden turned to the duoluozhong standing next to it and asked, "Where is the last child she gave birth to?"
"In the nursery area? I don't know . We can take her there and ask around . "
The woman froze and her face twisted in disgust and fear .

The warden clicked its tongue twice as a satisfied smile blossomed at the corner of its mouth . It then spoke, with its sticky voice, "As a mother, do you not miss your own offsprings after being separated from them for so long? Especially your daughters, oh those cute little bundle of joys . When they are being offered to God, I believe that you must want to see with your own eyes such a regal and great event, don't you?"
The woman's throat gurgled, and a trickle of gastric juice lined her lips . If it wasn't for the grip, she might have thrown up already .
"Yuck, this is so gross," the warden took a step back and waved its dead twig like arm, "If you don't wish to be taken to see your children, then be more cooperative . As far as I know, the effect of the stigma still hasn't worn off yet so, how did they escape?"
Heaving several times like a blacksmith's bellows, the woman began to speak again .
"That is her ability," her eyes gleamed, and there was a tinge of madness in her expression, "One of them can negate or render anomalies ineffective . The stigma has long gone…"
The warden's face sank . Its layers of dried skins folded together, and a solemn look graced its face . It turned around and yelled at the crowd of duoluozhong in the center of the underground shrine, "Cease whatever you are doing right now . Those two bitches have already escaped! Close the entrance to the shrine and search outside!"
"How about her?" A duoluozhong asked as it showed the warden the woman in its hand .
"Bring her with us," the warden's sunken yellowish eyes rolled around in the sockets . Then, an evil smile appeared on its face, " . . . Bring her to her children . "

As the woman roared in rage and struggled with all her might, the crowd of duoluozhong began swarming towards the entrance . The warden had a sour expression on its face . Suddenly, its face wrinkled like the bark of the pine tree as a sinister thought crossed its mind . It stepped on the chain in between the woman's ankles, causing the woman to fall with her belly hit the ground first .
She faced straight towards an idol at the direction she fell . The woman glanced at the idol for a moment before lowering her gaze again . She then clambered up from the ground .
The warden's eyes rolled again . It spun to the duoluozhong standing next to it and ordered, " . . . Send somebody in to clean up this mess . Deva will not be happy to see this . "
The duoluozhong could not speak, merely opened its face and revealed its row of sharp metallic teeth that lined from its forehead to chin . Saliva dripped to the ground, and the warden took it as a yes .
Perhaps they realized the gravity of the situation, all of the duoluozhong left the underground shrine in a blink of an eye . They snuffed out the fire on their way out . As the steel door closed with a loud bang, the entire underground shrine was plunged into absolute darkness .
Lin Sanjiu let out a sigh of relief, but the anxiety in her heart did not abate at all .
The woman, which they had just met a few hours ago had sacrificed herself to give them a chance to escape . Lin Sanjiu did not have the full picture; however, from their conversation alone she knew that those monsters wouldn't let the woman get off that easily . She tried desperately to move her fingers, but her body wouldn't budge .
"How long I have to wait before the stigma goes away?"

"This is your chance to regain your Higher Consciousness . You shouldn't make any moves until you've recovered at least half of your Higher Consciousness," Mrs . Manas seized the chance to nag her again, sounding like a noisy parakeet .
She knew her grand prize was not far away from her, hiding under the mimicked [Elementary Grade Ambient Color] although she couldn't see right now . Somehow, she felt relieved a bit as no matter how anxious she was, she couldn't do anything if she couldn't command her body at will .
As the minute dragged along, Lin Sanjiu was getting more and more anxious . Her anxiousness squeezed her heart, and her mind was tortured by the fact that she couldn't move her body still, even after a long time had passed . The footfalls overhead were loud, but she didn't know what was happening up there . The tremor caused the dust on the ceiling to fall on the ground . After what seemed like an eternity, the light bulb in Lin Sanjiu's heart blinked .
Fearing that it was just a false alarm, she slowly lifted her finger .
Her finger that refused listen to her command a while ago flicked in the air . As if a chain-reaction, the moment her finger left the ground, her entire body shook and her mobility returned . Her heart thumped wildly with joy . She immediately put away the [Battle Item] and jumped up from the ground .
"Grand prize, can you move now?" She called out into the dark before summoning the [Ability Polishing Agent] to her hand . Beams of silvery light instantly filled half of the space and lit up the faces of Deva's idols . It seemed like they were all smiling at her .
"Let's get out of—"
Before she could finish her sentence, she turned around and swallowed her next words back into her stomach .
Ji Shanqing had stood up as well . Although he, like her, had also regained his mobility, he wasn't moving on his free will . A tendril had wrapped around his face, so he couldn't speak . His body was tied up, leaving only his two eyes glistening with fear were exposed .
"I should show my gratitude to you for showing yourself," the silver light had cast a symphony of light and dark on the warden's face . It smiled, " . . . You have saved us ample of time and energy . "Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
