Chapter 6: The Second Call (1/2)

Aina woke up to see the dark ceiling and found herself still lying on the operating bed, but the iron ring on her hands and feet had been untied. There was no one in the basement, and the light in the room was still dim.

"Where did they go?"

Aina sat up on the operating bed, confused, and walked down barefoot. She suddenly felt a rush of heat in her chest.

"Woo."

A mouthful of hot blood poured out of her mouth, the floor was covered with blood-red color, and pain rose in her heart. Aina knelt on the ground, shaking. She felt her blood flow become chaotic, her heart started to hurt more, and a great fear spread inside her.

'Am I going to die... I don't want to die.'

She was miserable, desperate, and at the same time bewildered.

'God's command was to keep her alive. Why do none of them care about this? These people seem to only care about God's gift and the Burning Blood.'

She knew that the Order had been trying to obtain it from the Lord of Ashes for thousands of years and had made countless attempts. However, even though the people outside say 'great', do they really believe in the Lord of Ashes?

Aina huddled up in pain and fell on her knees. She felt weaker and weaker, there was a deep sense of drowning, and her hot body gradually became cold. The drowning made her feel so much pain. She lay down on the ground and struggled. Her mind could no longer function properly, and she had a strong sense of dreaminess.

A long time passed.

In the basement, the little girl lay flat on the ground, her eyes closed. She was finally freed from the pain and suffering. Aina gradually recovered from her drowsiness. Her consciousness was still a little tranced, and her body's senses had not fully recovered. 'I feel dizzy.' 'Where is this place? Am I still alive?'

It took a while for her to come out of the trance, and gradually her senses returned. She was finally able to distinguish her surroundings. She found herself still in the basement of the villa on the small operating bed. But the basement, which was dim before, was very bright at this moment.

A bright spotlight burst upon Aina's head. The white light was so intense it made her very uncomfortable, and the stimulation of the light made her shed tears.

"It's so bright. Oooh!"

She tilted her head and tried to muster the strength of her limbs to get up, but she couldn't move. Once again, her hands and feet were firmly clamped by strong iron rings.There were people dressed in black gathered around her, and they were wearing a kind of faceless mask. They should be the seniors of the church.

The joy in Dr. Norn's eyes was hardly concealed, but he still tried to keep his tone as calm as possible. Otherwise, he would appear unkempt and unpolished.

"It seems that our operation was successful, and she is still alive." "This time, the gift of God is genuine. We now have the first real Child of God, not in history, but in front of us."

His voice was not calm, and the expression on his face grew more excited.

"There's still some burning blood left, but we need a more stable method. Sooner or later, everyone here will be a ‘child of god'."

Aina was being stared at by the eyes of greedy and envious people. She felt like she was an object. She couldn't move even if she wanted to and was placed here for a weird exhibition.

The exhibition lasted for a long time, and Aina, in the spotlight, stopped struggling and let people watch her. The people suddenly retreated to the sides, and the senior priest slowly came to the basement.
