1136 Seizing The Buddhist Relics (2/2)

This can be exchanged for a sacrifice? Gu Liang threw a glimpse at Lin Tong, realizing that she had found a document. She picked up the telegram and the password book and read it attentively with her brows furrowed, completely disregarding what was happening around her. Then, she brought the Eye of Desire that she wore on her finger closer to the two Buddhist relics.

As they came into contact, the two Buddhist relics dissolved abruptly. One of them turned into a golden silhouette from the Divine Intervention. On the other hand, the other turned into a black and red evil of the Race Annihilation. The two of them entered the Eye of Desire and disappeared completely.

The Eye of Desire that had been normal after the summon of the Golden Sage Robe had once again deepened!

”I should accumulate more so I can fulfill better wishes…” Gu Liang thought to himself.

Suddenly, his little universe spun and the constellations appeared. As though it shared the same perception as the glabella of the senior of the Anti-Buddhist Sect, the Yin and the Yang attracted mutually as the Buddha and the devil countered each other!

A red and black colored reverse swastika appeared at the glabella of the senior of the Anti-Buddhist Sect. Gu Liang felt as though it had creepily became part of his body. He recollected himself. The next second, he watched as the dead body stood up unsteadily, scaring Lin Tong into activating the holy rays of Vairocana.

”Chief Inspector Lin, it's me! I can pilot the corpses,” Gu Liang explained succinctly.

Stupefied, Lin Tong stood still. In a split of a second, her face lit up, ”That's great!”

”What's great?” Gu Liang asked in confusion.

Lin Tong answered confidently, ”Based on the information and the password book, I have decoded the telegram. I found out that the Anti-Buddhist Sect are currently working on something big. They are going to produce holy items before they deliberately start a war. Amid the havoc, they will sacrifice one of the bustling cities in exchange for the revival of the Anti-Buddha.”

”Some 10 years ago, the Anti-Buddha once briefly returned. However, after all the preparations, the silence resumed for an unknown reason.”

”Since you can control the corpse, we can temporarily pretend that nothing has happened here. Meanwhile, you can interact with other members of the Anti-Buddhist Sect with the corpse in order to seize the location of the Hierarchy and the inheritance of the core. With that, we can eventually eradicate them!”

For the sacrifices, Gu Liang agreed with a muffled voice, ”Roger that, Chief Inspector.”

After a short practice, he noticed that he could only control the corpse within a radius of 100 meters. Therefore, he decided to rent an apartment nearby. Lin Tong, on the other hand, was in charge of hiding the operation from the other members of the Special Operations Division while she explained the situation to the superintendents and the senior superintendents who came to support.

...

The silence remained for a few days. Nobody had contacted the senior of the Anti-Buddhist Sect. Although Gu Liang was forced to be homebound, he was intrigued to cultivate his little universe and was not irritated at all.

In the middle of that night, someone banged on his door loudly. Controlling the body of the senior, Gu Liang opened the door. Followed by that, he witnessed many religious followers swarm into the apartment, almost filling it to its brim.

”Oracle, it is the day to offer sacrifice. We would like to invite you to host the ceremony,” the leader of the followers said benevolently.

Sacrifice? Ceremony? Gu Liang recalled the information he had read and said in a sombre tone, ”You may proceed to start the preparation.”

The senior was one of the oracles!

All the followers dispersed and surrounded the senior that was now merely an avatar controlled by Gu Liang. They danced an ancient and ferocious dance. They gradually fell into a trance and their faces were slowly plastered with creepy smiles. Subsequently, they knelt down and pulled out their respective daggers.

It was then Gu Liang realized that some of them had lost their fingers. Their bodies were littered with scars. It was obvious that they self-mutilated to appease the Anti-Buddha to complete the offering ceremony.

What should I do now? As a considerably righteous and kind police officer, Gu Liang feared to imagine the following scene.

Can I watch as they harm themselves without feeling remorseful?

No, I have to stop them!

But, how? Gu Liang's one and only idea was to make a wish and ask for help from the God of Storms and Natural Disasters.

After a part of his offerings was consumed, he heard god's words that were guiding him. Abruptly, his expression was distorted.

Before the followers pushed down the dagger, a resonating and solemn voice echoed, ”Wait a minute.”

For some reason, the voice sounded exceptionally trustworthy. None of the followers had the audacity to disobey as if they were personally facing the Anti-Buddha.

”The Anti-Buddha was not satisfied with the previous ceremonies. He has ordered for some amendments. You will have to follow me and relearn the procedure,” Gu Liang instructed via the voice of the Anti-Buddha. His little universe rotated and disturbed the minds.

The lead follower agreed, ”Please guide us, oracle.”

The oracle nodded his head and continued, ”Follow me.”

Then, he said with a solemn face,

”The ceremony starts now: The Seventh Set of Radio Calisthenic!”
