Volume 3 Obsidian Chapter 260: The Chrysalis of the End, the Three Ladies of Pain
"The curse of Ragnar the Blasphemer, this is the work of the Red Apple Church... Why did it appear in the hands of the members of the Chrysalis of the End?"
Chen Lun said secretly.
He looked at the black rose ornament in his hand, and the general outline of the whole thing emerged in his mind.
The stalker he killed, as a member of the Chrysalis of the End, received a mission assigned by the organization. While hunting down low-level extraordinary people like Morey, he was waiting for an opportunity to seize the Sunset Chrysanthemum Dew.
He set a trap for Maledice.
He disguised himself as a toy merchant and sold cursed objects to Rui Yi, and then appeared as a "savior", making the old man work hard to raise Sunset Chrysanthemum Dew to save his granddaughter.
This way, he would not be delayed in his "hunting" and could also obtain important mission items.
'Poor girl, she ended up being the victim of this whole scam... If I hadn't intervened, the guy from the Chrysalis of the End would have immediately fled after killing Morey and defrauding Maledice of the Sunset Chrysanthemum Dew, leaving no trace.'
Chen Lun rubbed his chin and guessed.
And based on the curse on , he also saw a difference between him and Noah.
Although Her Majesty the Silver Dragon Witch could not completely remove the curse, she should still be able to curb its effects, so much so that Chen Lun initially thought that the curse would only make people fat and ugly.
But in reality, blasphemous curses are lethal.
From the heart pain that Rui Yi mentioned, we can get a clue.
"It's a very vicious plan..."
Chen Lun murmured and shook his head.
He picked up the black rose ornament in his hand and immediately used his divination ability, using it as a clue to divine where the contact person of the Chrysalis of the End was.
After the blessing bestowed by Her Majesty the Witch was upgraded, his divination power was enhanced again. Just by using the divination stick, he could easily confirm the approximate direction.
Then Chen Lun used playing cards to predict the degree of danger of this trip.
Three cards flew out of the deck and hovered in front of him. They were all red number cards. Chen Lun immediately read the meaning behind them:
"There is a certain degree of danger, but it is within the tolerance range..."
…
…
…
Yellow Iron City.
A low-rent area in the north.
Further ahead from here is a continuous mountain range, which is a mineral mining area.
The roar of machines and the smoke in the sky never stop all day long. The workers work day and night, sweating just to earn a meager salary to support their families.
Most of the low-rent areas are inhabited by low-level workers. The environment here is terrible, but fortunately the rent is cheap and can barely provide a place to rest under the wind and rain.
As long as you can tolerate the stench of garbage piled up everywhere, the noise that never stops 24 hours a day, and the malice that comes from the darkness from time to time... it can be considered a place with good value for money.
Chen Lun took advantage of the night and entered this low-rent area.
Because of the [black-patterned cufflinks], no one noticed him along the way.
His high-end attire and temperament that are out of tune with the environment can easily cause unnecessary disturbances.
After all, he didn't want to be robbed by a group of greedy but ignorant hooligans just for his black hat or silver cane and give up his life in vain.
Stepping through the dirty and muddy water, smelling the strong sour and rotten stench, Chen Lun frowned slightly.
He quickened his pace and came straight to a narrow alley.
The shabby little house on the right side of the end is the final direction pointed by the snake head on the cane handle.
“The contact person for the Chrysalis of the End is hiding here…”
Chen Lun's bright eyes flashed a little in the shadow under the black hat.
He walked slowly over to the door of the hut.
It was pitch black inside, but Chen Lun could hear some faint breathing.
He pushed a card through the crack in the door at the bottom, then raised his hand to cover one of his eyes and saw the scene inside the house.
There were four men sleeping on two beds, all of them were extraordinary people.
"The feedback from the life-gaze is that there is one [Gourmet], three [Butchers]... all of them are low-sequence transcendents."
Chen Lun said secretly.
He raised his windbreaker and walked into the house.
Looking at the four sleeping people, his eyes were calm, as if he was looking at four corpses.
After a moment.
The room was filled with the smell of blood, and blood was all over the sheets.
Including the Sequence 8, the three had their eyes wide open. There was a hole in their heart and between their eyebrows, which were the wounds caused by being pierced by the cane. They were a bloody mess.
The remaining man was kneeling on the ground with confused eyes, obviously hypnotized by the [Siren's Song], and was telling the secret that Chen Lun wanted to know.
"...a small group of monks from the Red Apple Church recently contacted the organization's top brass. I don't know what kind of agreement they reached, but they asked us to collect a large amount of mysterious substances and the extraordinary material Sunset Chrysanthemum Dew..."
Chen Lun listened silently and fell into deep thought.
From the information revealed by the other party, we know that the deity worshipped by the organization of the Chrysalis of the End is "Lady Dull".
It was that Flesh and Blood Sequence 1 Angel who, in a fit of rage, caused the death of Dolomypurnis, the former Pope of the Red Apple Church, and six of the "Ten Cores" high-level members of the Scarlet Monastery, including the Blasphemer Ragnar.
Logically speaking, the Chrysalis of the End and the Red Apple Church are at odds with each other, but this time, the two sides conspired together, and no one knows what conspiracy they have.
Chen Lun raised his silver staff expressionlessly, pierced through it, and with a dull sound of "puff", he killed the extraordinary person.
[Kill Weber, a common member of the "End Chrysalis", and gain 900 experience points! ]
The man fell to the ground with a thud. The severe pain woke him up, but he could only make a slight gurgling sound.
He dug his five fingers into the floor, leaving bloody marks, and finally his eyes widened as he died while struggling.
Chen Lun ignored the corpse and searched the room, stepping on the pool of blood.
He found several pamphlets, all of which were mysterious books related to the organization called the Chrysalis of the End.
Because he thought the bed was too dirty, he simply stood there and snapped his fingers, causing a ball of flame to hang in the air as a simple lighting.
Then he quietly opened it and started reading.
A booklet records the legend of the "Three Ladies of Pain".
They are the images of three female gods who protect the world and save people from disasters.
The legendary story has only four chapters, all of which are extremely short and concise. The first three chapters correspond to the stories of three ladies , and the last chapter is about their joint efforts to expel the evil god.
Lady Silence, in her human incarnation, is often an older person who is deaf but kind and gentle. Her symbols are purple chrysanthemum, black skirt, night and crow.
The Lady of Sighs, incarnated on earth as a mature and charming woman, mute but extremely wise. Her symbols are shells, green skirts, the ocean, and Whale Island.
Lady Dull, incarnated in the human world, is often a young girl, blind, but lively and cute. Her symbols are apples, red skirts, blood and red butterflies.
'The Three Ladies of Pain...'
Chen Lun frowned as he looked at the cryptic text involving a high-level existence in the mysterious realm.
Some impressions of the three emerged in his mind.
"Moon Goddess..."
Chen Lun murmured.
The old lady he met at the beginning fits the image of Lady Silence very well, and this honorific title is also an incarnation of the moon goddess Margaret.
The Moon God, Lady Silence, and Lady Purple Moon can all refer to the true God of the Moon Path.
'So how did the Moon Goddess get involved with the other two ladies...'
Chen Lun was a little confused.
As for Ms. Sigh, he had seen this name from Philip's last message.
Philip said that he was deceived and guided by his teacher, and had a great connection with the deep sea, so much so that he would be forcibly dragged into the dream world every day when he dreamed.
The gate to the dream world is guarded by the Lady of Sighs and he cannot escape.
A similar scene was recorded in "Dream of the Town of Kazite". The drunken sailor walked down 70 steps in his dream and saw the "Sleeping Door". A lady in a dark green dress stood at the door.
All these can show that Ms. Sigh has an inexplicable connection with the dream world and the deep sea.
As for the last lady, Chen Lun knew very little.
In addition to learning about His existence from Her Majesty the Witch, it was also this time, when I encountered the organization "Chrysalis of the End", that I got a general understanding of this god.
He is a Sequence 1 Angel of the Flesh Path, but he does not believe in Lady Rose, and is unique. There are also dedicated believers who have established an organization called "Chrysalis of the End" for him, with unknown intentions.
Chen Lun pondered over these three ladies. They seemed to represent the moon, the deep sea, and flesh and blood respectively. Logically, it was impossible for them to be united together.
'Did the three ladies form some secret alliance to rebel against the true God? But that doesn't make sense... After all, Lady Silence represents the Moon God.'
He felt that there were too few clues and that the secrets were too high-level, making it difficult for a Sequence 7 like him to start.
He looked at the other booklets in his hand. Most of them were about the history and background of the esoteric cult "Chrysalis of the End", as well as some unique ritual activities.
One of them contained the detailed name and prayer of the Dark Lady.
Chen Lun didn't dare to read it out loud, for fear of attracting that person's attention.
Just recite it silently in your mind and commit it to memory.
'The blind lady of pain, the fairy of the stagnant cup, the manipulator under the apple tree... the noble and spiritual lady of darkness, Judelia.'
To go with this, there are extremely strict and detailed prayer ceremony specifications and requirements.
If you want to summon the Lady of Dusk, you have to set up a corresponding ceremony, which includes the most important extraordinary material, Sunset Chrysanthemum Dew.
'So these people collect sunset chrysanthemum dew to arrange frequent prayer ceremonies?'
Chen Lun guessed.
Now that the Red Apple Church is involved with the Chrysalis of the End, there is a feeling that a terrible vortex is being born invisibly.
Chen Lun had a bad feeling.
Spiritual intuition also gave an extremely strong warning regarding this matter.
"So I'd better not investigate this matter any further. It will do me no good at the moment, so I'll just stop here..."
Chen Lun made up his mind.
