unfamiliar with this name, and she didn’t understand what this name represented.
However, from the eulogies around her, it could be seen that this person was a very significant figure.

She continued to walk forward, and a faint scream of pain could be heard around her.
Gunali’s body subconsciously trembled.
Then, she looked in the direction of the scream.
Under her gaze, there seemed to be a figure in a corner.
A faint cry could be heard as if he was shouting something.
‘Is someone else there?’ Gunali thought.

‘Then, she looked at the figure curled up in the corner.
After hesitating for a long time, she made up her mind and began to walk forward.
She walked very slowly, afraid that she would encounter something terrifying.

After a long while, she walked behind the figure, maintaining a certain distance, and tried to speak after stabilizing her emotions, “May I ask…”

The faint moonlight shone outside the window, and she could barely see a thing.
However, as Gunali was facing the back, she could not see the figure’s appearance.
As she spoke, the constantly-shouting figure seemed to have reacted and started to turn around slowly.

Gunali’s voice instantly stopped when she saw a ferocious face appearing before her eyes.
She could vaguely see the face of a boy.
However, the flesh on his face had entirely rotted.
Maggots were squirming on it, moving up and down.
There was even a smell of rotten flesh.
Her mind turned blank, and she
subconsciously wanted to shout out loud.

A pale arm suddenly stretched out and covered Gunali’s mouth, dragging her to the side and pressing her to the ground.

“Don’t make a sound, do you understand?” In the darkness, a low voice sounded.

Under the faint moonlight, Gunali could see the face of the person in front of her.
She was a young girl, about fifteen to sixteen years old, wearing a long black robe.
At this moment, she was carrying Gunali and moving away quickly from the previous area.
The young girl seemed to be very agile.
In a short period, she brought Gunali away and quickly arrived at another area which was a blind spot.
Faint moonlight shone around her, making her appear very bright.
After arriving at this area, the thick malice that had previously shrouded Gunali’s heart, making her almost impossible to breathe, began to subside.

Without the invasion of that malice, Gunali’s emotions gradually calmed down.
The girl looked at Gunali’s appearance and put down her hand covering Gunaliss lips.
Then, she asked, “Are you okay?”

‘1…” Gunali looked at the girl before her and was about to speak.

“This is the Red Lotus Society’s headquarters.” The young girl glanced at Gunali and immediately knew what she wanted to ask.
“You came here because you were chosen.”

“Twas chosen?” Gunali was a little confused when she heard the girl’s words.

“Yes.” The girl nodded and continued, “The people who come to this place are the sacrificial offerings chosen by the Red Lotus Society to be offered to the Black King.”

“Sacrificial offerings… The Black King…” Gunali’s mind went blank.

Gunali didn’t understand the meaning of sacrificial offerings.
She just instinctively knew that this wasn’t a good word.

The girl looked at Gunali’s appearance and wasn’t surprised by her reaction.
“I’ve been here for half a month, and I haven’t seen you before.
You were captured today, right?”

“Should be…” Gunali nodded and said with uncertainty.

She didn’t know how she got here.
She only slept for a while, and then here she was after waking up.
She didn’t know whether this was counted as being caught or not.

“Except for a small number of people who came here voluntarily, most people here are like you.
They woke up here…”

“Voluntarily?” Gunali was a little puzzled.
“Is there anyone who came here voluntarily?”

From the current situation, this place was abnormal, didnt look like a good place.
The outcome of being sacrificed didn’t seem like a good thing.

‘Under such circumstances, was there anyone willing to come here? Gunali was a little puzzled and couldn’t understand.

“There are always some people who would be willing for various reasons…” The girl sighed and said tiredly, “For power and wealth, some were abducted and sold by their parents, and some were deceived…”

‘Is that the case?’ Gunali blinked as this thought flashed through her mind.

“The person you saw before was sold by his parents…” The girl sneered and said, ‘Just for two Golden Dragons.”

‘Two Golden Dragon..’ Gunali was a little confused.
Would someone sell their child just for two Golden Dragons?

For Gunali, who came from a wealthy family and was the pearl of the Oriel family, even two hundred Golden Dragons were no big deal, not to mention two Golden Dragons.
She could not understand.

“After he was sold, he was tampered with by those people.
Then, he went crazy and became like this.”

The girl sighed and said, “Your situation just now was dangerous.
He has already gone crazy.
If you approach him without permission, something will happen.”

The two of them slowly conversed.
Perhaps it was because there were not many ordinary people in this place, or perhaps Gunali was still young and very cute.
The girl chatted and explained a lot to Gunali.
Gunali also trusted the girl.
mn her perception, the girl had good intentions and didn’t have any malice toward her.
Based on Gunali’s experience, this meant that the girl could be trusted.

During the conversation, Gunali also learned the girl’s name and identity.

Her name was Mary, from another kingdom, but she was only a commoner.
As for why she came to this place, she did not say, but it seemed that others did not kidnap her.

“My father is mighty.
He will come to save me.” Regarding the situation before her, Gunali was still rather optimistic.
“And my Big Friend will also come to save me.’

She seemed to be very confident with her father and Big Friend.
Even though she was here, she firmly believed they would come to save her.
Mary shook her head and did not say anything about Gunali’s confidence.
After staying in this place for more than half a month, she met many people.
Some of them were of noble birth and had strong backgrounds.

In the beginning, these people were like Gunali.
They believed that their family would come to save her.
But as time passed, they were eventually placed on the altar and became sacrificial offerings.
As for their father and friends, they did not appear in the end.

Based on her past experience, Mary did not think much of Gunali’s words.
But even so, she only smiled and did not say anything.
The situation before her was already like this, so why add to her worries? It was not a bad thing to die with hope.
At least waiting in hope was much better than suffering in
despair.
But Mary and Gunali did not know was that there was already someone standing there.

“Is this the place?” In the spacious palace, Chen Heng was strolling and looking around.
Under his gaze, the surrounding appeared.
The huge and exquisite stone tablets, large amounts of runes, and eulogies all appeared before him.
‘The Black King… He is the ruler behind the Red Lotus Society? Chen Heng thought as he walked through this area and looked at the contents of the eulogies.

In the palace before his eyes, the objects of the eulogies were all very unified.
All of them were for a person called the Black King.
The stone tablets in the surroundings were also very unique.

Like how Gunali could sense the dense malice within these stone tablets, Chen Heng could also sense the existence within these stone tablets.

Within these stone tablets, there were traces of spiritual marks left.
These spiritual marks were highly chaotic.
Most of them were unable to maintain their consciousness.
They had already disappeared, leaving behind only a bit of their instincts..
