Chapter 234 I am the real resurrected goddess.
Most of the buildings in the old city were built during the war. In order to prevent air raids, each household was equipped with a basement as standard.
It was such a building that Jing and Ai Wanxin appeared in.
When Ai Wanxin pushed open the wooden board on the top of the basement and climbed out of the storage room, the guard who was dragging a woman out by her hair was stunned.
"Where did this woman come from? Why didn't you report it?" The bearded man quickly came to his senses and asked loudly.
The woman whose hair he was pulling held his hands with both hands to relieve the pain of her scalp being pulled tightly. She shook her head with tears in her eyes: "I don't know, I don't know..."
The man immediately let go of her and strode towards Ai Wanxin.
"Let's go. The city lord has ordered that all women must go to the Temple Square. I'll settle the score with you for sneaking in later."
"I understand. I'll go for her." Ai Wanxin responded.
The man walked closer and reached out to take off her towel: "Didn't you hear what I said? The city lord wants all the women to go, you can do it for me—"
A large hand with long fingers appeared above the man's head. The hand reached down, grabbed the roots of the man's short hair and suddenly pulled it up.
"Ah——" The man felt pain and was about to fight back when a dark, transparent blade was pressed against his throat.
"Didn't you hear what she said? Do you want me to repeat it?" The tall, silver-haired young man appeared behind the man like a ghost and asked him intimately in his ear.
The man was pressed against the blade and didn't dare to move at all. He raised his hands subconsciously and said repeatedly: "No, no need to repeat."
The woman who was slumped on the ground looked at everything in front of her in a daze. A child with shaved hair jumped into her arms and cried, "Mom——"
The child was about six or seven years old, with black ash all over his face and short hair. At first glance, it was hard to tell whether he was a boy or a girl, but as soon as he spoke, you could tell that he was actually a little girl.
"Don't be afraid, Youyou, Mommy's fine." The woman patted her daughter on the back and coaxed her.
"Don't be afraid, just find a place to hide, and it will be over soon." Ai Wanxin said gently.
The woman was surviving in the apocalypse with her daughter alone, so she reacted very quickly. She nodded, climbed up holding her daughter, and ducked into the basement where Ai Wanxin came out.
With a bang, the wooden door of the basement was closed from the inside behind them.
There were only three of them left in the cabin.
The other guards outside the house were searching frantically. Big Bearded Man was shouting wildly in his heart, hoping that his companions would notice something strange here and come to rescue him.
However, in the small house surrounded by the shadow barrier, even if a concert was taking place inside, no sound could be heard from outside.
"You, what do you want to do?" the bearded man asked cautiously, trying his best to stay away from the tip of the knife against his throat.
"Do you know who I am?" Ai Wanxin took out the ring of law and discipline from the space and put it on her index finger slowly.
The bearded man wanted to shake his head but stopped: "No...I don't know."
"I am the real goddess of resurrection." Ai Wanxin raised his index finger, and a dark blue rune flashed under his feet.
The big stubble was stunned: "What?"
Ai Wanxin's cold eyes fell on his face: "You just said something that made me unhappy. Anyone who offends the goddess must be punished by having his tongue cut off."
"What--?" Just as the bearded man said one word, Jing's big hands like iron clamps grabbed his throat.
He had no choice but to open his mouth and stick out his tongue. A dark shadow flashed, blood spurted out, and half of the purple tongue fell to the ground with a "click" and bounced twice like a spasm.
After a second, the heart-wrenching pain entered Big Beard's brain. He fell to the ground howling, grabbing his mouth and throat with his hands, and rolling on the ground.
Ai Wanxin looked down at him, watching him choke to death on the gushing blood, and then said, "If you submit to me, I will grant you a tongue-severing rebirth."
Blood flowed down Big Beard's neck and soaked half of his body. In the severe pain, the last bit of his remaining will to survive made him tremble and turn over from the ground. He crawled at Ai Wanxin's feet, knocking his head repeatedly and making vague "hmm" sounds.
Ai Wanxin leaned forward slightly and pointed a finger at his forehead. A soft white light lit up, and the blood in the bearded man's mouth stopped immediately. The tongue that was cut off by Jing really grew back.
He touched his tongue in disbelief, looked up at Ai Wanxin, and said in a daze: "You...you really are..."
Ai Wanxin took out a handkerchief from the space and wiped the fingers she had touched on his forehead.
"Someone is pretending to be me and doing something unjust. I am very unhappy." She threw her handkerchief on the ground. "Now, I want to take back everything that belongs to me."
The stubble nodded blankly.
"Have you seen him?" Ai Wanxin signaled him to look in Jing's direction.
The big stubble was confused: "Look... I saw it."
"He is not a human." Ai Wanxin said coldly, "He is my Ghost Rider."
Jing's eyes curved slightly, and he suddenly disappeared from where he was, then reappeared behind Ai Wanxin.
"I have just put the mark of the goddess of resurrection on you, and my ghost knight will keep an eye on you at all times. If you dare to betray me, the pain of having your tongue cut off will be repeated day and night on you. Do you understand?"
The bearded man was a little dizzy due to excessive blood loss, but he nodded hurriedly: "No, no, I will always be loyal to you."
"Take me to the Temple Square." Ai Wanxin ordered.
The bearded man staggered to his feet from the ground. He looked down at the bloodstains all over his body. He knew he would definitely be questioned if he went out like this.
Ai Wanxin pointed to the empty rice jar in the corner. Clear water slowly rose from the empty jar until it overflowed the edge and flowed onto the ground.
The bearded man watched all this in amazement. The last bit of hesitation in his heart disappeared, and he was completely convinced of her identity.
He rushed to the rice jar, scooped up some cold water and poured it on his face and body: "This is holy water, the holy water given to me by the goddess..."
Where he couldn't see, Ai Wanxin's expression was indescribable.
You don't have to believe it to this extent...
The bearded man washed the blood off his face and body, turned around and said respectfully to Ai Wanxin: "I will lead you to the Temple Square, Your Highness the Goddess."
Jing disappeared behind her and then he smiled widely.
It turns out that staying with my sister is the most interesting thing.
He removed the shadow barrier, and with a big beard, he led the way, leading Ai Wanxin out of the hut and joining the crowd heading to the temple square.
