Chapter 184: Killing is Her Specialty

~9 min read 1,651 words

He could still question, only because what pierced through the heart of Haide Kanpu was an arm extended by Xiaoliuzi, only that arm had already transformed into an evil Mojui Tengwan.

Madaha struggled, wanting to break free, but discovered the vines were tightening more and more, until it made his breathing difficult, and he could no longer say a single word.

Over here, Haide Kanpu also finally understood Liu Mu's meaning, and asked in disbelief, "Are you, that Liu Mu?"

"Mu Liu, Liu Mu, look, it's very easy to guess." Liu Mu was not surprised that Kamp knew her name; after all, this was still within the territory of the Southeast Three Provinces, and with the intelligence sources the Shengjie Xiuni should have, knowing who she was was inevitable.

"It's a pity, you clearly can speak Chinese, why were you unwilling to use even this little bit of brainpower?"

Liu Mu drew her blade and, amidst the angry cursing of Haide Kanpu, chopped the goddess statue into several pieces.

"Blasphemer, you will receive the punishment of being skinned and having your tendons pulled; the great Sister Mixiasha will personally punish you for the crimes you committed today; she has already seen everything!" Haide Kanpu was not reconciled to being deceived, or even dying just like this; he wanted to pray to the goddess he believed in, and wanted to transmit Liu Mu's crimes to the Holy See.

"That is why I made her lose the ability to 'see' at the very first moment, Kamp; did you think I didn't know what you all had done?"

Liu Mu pointed at the ceiling of the Xiaojiaotang, where intricate religious paintings hid the filthy sacrifices of the Shengjie Xiuni, "Sorry, the Extreme Cold is coming; I don't have time to continue playing faith games with you."

The cold light of the blade flashed past again, and screams rang out once more in the otherwise peaceful Xiaojiaotang.

This screaming did not come from Kamp, whose hands had been severed; facts proved that the human body cannot emit sound when suffering extreme trauma.

"No! No! Pastor!"

The released Madaha was like a pet that had lost its Master, rushing over and kneeling beside Haide Kanpu, his whole body trembling like a broken branch in the wind, tightly hugging Kamp's body, which was missing its arms.

"Stop yelling!" Liu Mu was annoyed by his screaming, "You should be grateful that Ma Dajie is your mother; now get back to the Mine, and you had best not say a single word about what happened here, otherwise neither you nor your mother will see tomorrow's sun!"

"You devil, you will be punished, you all will be punished, monster!"

Madaha's body was frail; he was originally just a manservant who served tea and poured water, and before the disaster, he was the target of bullying.

In the past, he would gloomily curse everyone who bullied him, but when facing those thugs, he lacked the courage to even throw a punch, and could only shut his mouth and endure all the bullying.

At this moment, he wanted to protect Haide Kanpu, wanted to defend his faith, but when he looked up and saw the terrifying appearance of Xiaoliuzi and met Liu Mu's icy gaze, the courage he thought he had possessed disappeared once again in a shameful way...

"Leave as fast as you can!"

Liu Mu dropped this sentence and turned to leave; Xiaoliuzi's body returned to human form and followed closely behind.

Bang—

The door of the Xiaojiaotang opened, then closed.

The not-so-loud sound startled Madaha, who had been lost in his own emotions.

The young man looked at the bloody Haide Kanpu, as if waking from a nightmare, let go of the corpse, and crawled backward using his hands and feet, wanting to get far away from the blood covering the floor.

"No, don't, don't come over..."

He seemed to have fallen into a terrible nightmare, not understanding what had happened before his eyes, or why it had happened.

But what he wanted to escape was not what was before his eyes, but the nightmare.

Haide Kanpu's heart was pierced, his arms were severed, yet he was still kneeling toward the goddess he had sacrificed to.

His head hung low powerlessly, like the goddess statue broken into several pieces, having already lost the breath of life.

But the candle had not gone out, and the shadow on the ground was not kneeling; it was a standing human shape, moving as the several candle flames flickered, spreading bit by bit until it landed on the frail young man...

Madaha's escape had lost its meaning; he knew it, this day had come after all.

His faith required sacrifice; before it was piety, now it was his body.

"Child, we are returning to the Holy See."

Even though it was the young man's body, what came out of his mouth was Haide Kanpu's accented voice.

After leaving the church, Liu Mu did not return directly to the Mine, but drove all the way along the already planned railway to Linjiang Zhen.

Linjiang Zhen was the hub connecting the Mine to the outside world; she needed to come to "pick up the cargo."

The supplies for the Mine were all transported by water; Liu Mu felt it was a pity that she did not have time to find more information.

This time, a large ship had come, just as Madaha had said before; they had brought the freight train and materials for laying tracks.

"Xiao A, tell Big Sister to tidy up; it's about time."

Liu Mu was racing against time, but things were just like that; even if you know this matter might happen at any time and is bound to happen, and have made many preparations for it, when it does happen, it still catches one off guard.

Heitao A sent the Cold Wave warning to Xu Xiaofeng; with her there, the Barrier side would also react immediately.

Over the last year, that side had been making preparations, so Liu Mu was not too worried.

But right now, she looked at the large ship and felt somewhat powerless.

"Calculate the storage capacity again; if we dismantle the ship, can we fit it all in?"

The ten-thousand-ton freighter had a deep draft while sailing on the river, and this was the second time the church had sent it to deliver supplies to the Mine.

The first time was to deliver the professional mining and transport equipment that Haide Kanpu had listed.

Heitao A only took ten seconds to give the same answer: 【If you clear out the fishery and other waste, you can fit the entire ship's contents.】

"Can you stop talking nonsense!" Liu Mu gnashed her teeth; of course she could throw away those other items of hers, but the fishery brought from Hong Hu could not be discarded.

Under the Extreme Cold, food would be even more precious than after the disaster; she was still counting on these fish to feed the people in the Barrier.

She had already come to receive cargo several times, and the people left behind at the pier were also arranged by the Mine; seeing her, they hurriedly greeted her.

As for the people on the ship, Liu Mu had originally intended that, except for the church members, the others could be taken back to the Mine to do hard labor.

But heaven did not grant her wish, cutting off the possibility of them staying alive.

Liu Mu told the workers at the pier to pack their things and return to the Mine, the reason being that there were new work arrangements.

The workers' luggage was simple, and it did not take much time before they were driven away by Xiaoliuzi.

After the people left, she boarded the ship herself.

The captain and crew escorting the cargo had to be loyal believers of the church; ordinary people could not get close at all. Even Liu Mu only had the qualifications to come and pick up the cargo now after being personally brought up several times by Haide Kanpu.

The people on the ship were all gathered on the deck, waiting to unload, and could not help but complain that Liu Mu had come too late.

The rest of the matter was simple; killing was Liu Mu's specialty, even if these people had been brainwashed by faith to the point of not fearing death.

Liu Mu loaded the cargo on the ship into her space; of course, this included not only the freight train and tracks, but also the supply replenishment for the Mine for the next three months.

Liu Mu was unwilling to accept this. "Really, really, really no way? I'm asking, did the space size not change at all with this upgrade?"

Heitao A, 【It expanded by one-third of its original size. Host, have you ever considered that perhaps you just have too many things?】

"Didn't it expand by several times during the last upgrade? Why is it so little this time?" Liu Mu touched the ship's railing; how could she throw away such a good cargo ship?

It was practically a crime.

However, the return trip could not be made by water; first, no one could pilot the ship, and second, there were other plans for the journey.

Her fingers felt the chill from the steel, and Liu Mu frowned fiercely. When she looked closer, white crystals had actually appeared on the railing; it was frost formed by a sudden drop in temperature when the air humidity was sufficient.

Sighing up at the sky, she had no choice but to leave immediately.

After getting off the ship, she headed straight to the Mine using Space Jump, which was several times faster than driving.

She left in such a hurry that she did not cross paths with another luxury sedan rushing toward the pier.
