Chapter 19: Xiu Si Da Er: How Did I Become the Great Pain Priest?
Several Pain Disciples tortured enough by Big Boss to be sharp-tongued gathered before him, crawling down to kneel.
This kneeling was not only because of fear of Big Boss.
But because of the mark on Big Boss's back of hand—the Pain Thorn.
The Pain Thorn is an insignia personally branded by the Pain Mother Goddess.
It is an insignia only the most devout and most talented Pain Disciples are qualified to obtain.
Across the entire Pain Sect, fewer than ten possess it.
One could say, with this insignia, one is truly a Mother Goddess Guard, an existence all other disciples look up to.
Obviously, this Xiu Si Da Er Adult before them is not at all an Order Believer.
He is a genuine high-ranking member of the Pain Sect! The disciples looked at Big Boss with resentment, their eyes full of sorrow.
If you're one of our own, fine, but you specially came over to train us all together.
Isn't this too much?
Although the Pain Sect does very grim things, after all they spread pain, and everyone on Tianming Continent shouts to beat them.
But internally they are still very harmonious, after all there are many masochists and sadists within the sect, wanting one-on-one then one-on-one, wanting many-on-one then many-on-one, wanting to impart then impart, quite compatible.
How is it like now, not distinguishing right from wrong and just training us all at once.
The disciples' faces were green and purple, full of resentment.
Big Boss looked at these disciples, expressionless.
In the PC version of "Tianming Chu Sheng", the world's forces are divided into two sides, namely the Abyss Sect and the Tianming Sect.
Needless to say about the Abyss Sect, their disciples are living beings of the continent, but the god they believe in is an outside god from another world.
Can be called traitors.
Twisted by the will of the god, the sect has long been the executioner slaughtering the world, the source without source of devouring and destruction.
The Abyss Sect also contains many small sects, such as the Pain Sect, Lust Sect, Anger Sect, Freedom Sect, etc.
And the Tianming Sect is the native sect of Tianming Continent, divided into Orthodox Sects and Evil God Sects.
Orthodox Sects are basically the sects of the Human Race and Elf Race, mainly the Five Great Teachings—Order, Initial Fire, Source Flow, Shadow, and Furnace.
Evil God Sects are more numerous, the Crimson Blood Clan believing in the Crimson Mother Goddess, the Full Moon Wolf Clan believing in the Bright Moon... all sorts.
Although Orthodox Sects and Evil God Sects don't deal with each other, under the threat of the Abyss Sect, they can only put aside personal grudges.
The overall situation is very much like the Three Kingdoms standing in balance, Orthodox and Evil united, resisting the Abyss.
Although a triangle is the most stable shape, one cannot help that the Orthodox Sects are like Sun Quan, from time to time backstabbing the Evil God Sects.
Previously the Order Sect wiped out the Red Moon Empire in one pot, and even framed the Abyss Magic Dragon—that is the best example.
This also causes the relationship between the Evil God Sects and Orthodox Sects to not be very good.
Non-human races such as the Blood Clan, Succubi, Werewolves, etc., do not live too well on human territory.
The so-called united, many times is infighting within the nest, a plate of loose sand.
And the PC version of "Tianming Chu Sheng", as an open Souls-like game, players can naturally join various sects and obtain the insignias of various gods.
Big Boss, as a High Player, can be said to have collected all the insignias obtainable in the game.
He can responsibly say, in the PC version wanting to obtain the Pain Insignia is absolutely not that easy.
Need to complete a series of side quests.
Thinking carefully, Big Boss figured out where the problem lies.
To pass review, the PC version game does not have cruel skills like limb-breaking, electrotherapy, skinning, so players naturally cannot obtain the insignia by gaining the appreciation of the Pain Mother Goddess.
Just like because there are no R18 elements, players also cannot obtain the Lust Insignia by fancy techniques.
'Sure, Quantum Technology, the Brain-Computer Version added these things for realism. But this Pain Mother Goddess is really something, I don't look like a Pain Disciple no matter how I think?'
'Also, since the Pain Insignia can be obtained, does that mean the Lust Insignia can also be obtained?'
Big Boss laughed lightly.
This light laugh reached the disciples' ears, making them tremble involuntarily.
Is it starting again? "Alright, don't be nervous, our own people."
Big Boss shrugged, after obtaining the Pain Insignia, his next plan would be easier to execute.
"Hehe..."
The Pain Disciples' mouth corners twitched.
You really are one of our own.
At least thirty percent of this squad were tortured by you into suicide.
The disciples dared to be angry but not speak.
Just then, Karte suddenly clapped his hands: "I understand!"
The disciples doubted: "You understand what?"
Karte glanced at them, held his head high and chest out, and sneered: "This is actually Adult Xiu Si's test! Those disciples who committed suicide are just cowards who didn't pass the test!"
"Those who can't even pass Adult Xiu Si's test are not qualified to be Pain Disciples at all."
The disciples:...
No, boss, are you sure it's like that? I feel like you just want to get ahead too much?
Big Boss looked at Karte: "You don't hate me?"
"I certainly won't hate." Karte said righteously and sternly: "Disciples unworthy of the Pain name are just bugs. Adult Xiu Si helping the church remove these bugs is a great merit, how could I hate him?" The disciples' mouth corner twitching became even worse.
This experience package is so stupid, but it can be utilized... The Big Boss also reined in his smile: "Correct, I am indeed testing you. Your task is to chase Latanaya, right?"
"Correct." Karte nodded: "The Mother Goddess's Divine Oracle says she is inside the prison."
"You came too late, Latanaya has already escaped, and is now on the way to Full Moon Academy."
"What!" Karte turned pale with shock.
"Moreover, she now has a powerful guard by her side. With your current capabilities, you simply cannot deal with that guard. So, call for reinforcements. The Mother Goddess yearns for a new Saintess; this matter cannot fail." Li Cheng added.
Hearing these words, Karte became even more certain of his speculation.
He hurriedly saluted: "As you command, Adult. I will now mobilize all disciples near the Witch Prison to jointly hunt down Latanaya. We absolutely will not let her escape."
"Then it is settled."
Li Cheng's figure and voice together disappeared into the shadows.
Until everything related to him had completely vanished, Karte only then slumped to the ground, panting heavily.
"Boss, do we really have to listen to him and call reinforcements to hunt Latanaya together?" Another disciple crawled over: "Wouldn't that make our merit smaller!"
"You don't know shit!" Karte slapped him across the face.
"Bo, Boss..." That disciple looked utterly wronged.
"Hmph hmph, you lot, you lot, it's just that your eyesight and initiative are too poor, that's why you've ended up in today's sorry state." Karte stood with hands behind his back, letting out a cold snort: "Hmph, let me ask you, have you ever heard the name Xiu Si Da Er?"
"No, never..."
"Then, have you ever heard of the Seventh Seat High Priest?"
"Se, Seventh Seat..."
The disciples' faces instantly turned deathly pale.
Under the Ku Tong Huang Di, there are a total of seven High Priests. Each one is an executor of pain, a chanter of the gospel.
And among these, six are active within the Order Sect's interior.
Only this Seventh Seat has never been seen.
Legend has it that this Seventh Seat High Priest is a disciple even more brutal than the other six High Priests combined.
He has already transcended the low-level hobby of manufacturing pain.
Devoting himself to the advanced undertaking of turning pain into art.
Known as the Phantom Seventh Seat!
And according to information Karte had once overheard, this Seventh Seat High Priest is infiltrated within the Order Sect!
"Bo, Boss, you mean..." The disciples swallowed their saliva.
"Just as you're thinking, think about it." Karte raised his head. His gaze, full of wisdom, swept over every disciple's body, as if piercing through their shells, reaching straight to their Souls:
"Among all the people we've seen in our lives, is there anyone who can make someone taste the pain of childbirth like Adult Xiu Si Da Er?"
"No, none..."
"Then is there anyone who can restore the prey's state again and again, just to inflict infinite punishment upon the prey?"
"No, none..."
"Then is there anyone who, while savoring the prey's pain, can reveal a sunny cheerful smile like Adult Xiu Si Da Er?"
"No, none..."
"No mistake, hahahaha!" Karte raised his head: "I've seen through everything long ago. Adult Xiu Si Da Er is the Seventh High Priest! The Phantom Seventh Seat! He is the final line of defense the Mother Goddess sent to guide us!"
The disciples stared blankly at Karte. The scene fell into dead silence.
A few seconds later, thunderous shouts suddenly erupted.
"So that's how it is!"
"No wonder, everything explains itself!"
"OH!!!"
"Still Boss, figuring out Adult Xiu Si Da Er's identity in one go."
The disciples all raised their hands and clenched their fists in high spirits, moved to tears of gratitude.
Did not expect the Mother Goddess to actually favor them so much, fearing they couldn't complete the Tasks, even sending a High Priest Adult to help them!
Karte pressed down with his hands twice, also revealing a moved Expression: "Alright, everyone, follow me to bring reinforcements! Adult Xiu Si Da Er won't make a mistake. We absolutely cannot betray his trust!"
"Hunt Latanaya!"
"Whether we can improve... whether we can succeed, hinges on this one move!" —— The other side.
Li Cheng stood on a tree branch.
Seeing his Armored Cars so spirited, a sunny smile appeared on his face again.
The plan was proceeding exactly as he envisioned.
Wait for his Armored Cars to assemble.
Then wipe them all out in one fell swoop.
While thinking this, he plucked off the Void Mask.
Moose Scapegoat Style, really useful.
