Chapter 632 Believers

Placed in front of them were corpses with extremely strange death conditions.

Apart from these corpses, there were only Ichiki, a Jonin from the Kingdom of Demons, and a medical ninja, a total of three living people in the room.

Under the watchful eyes of Kazuki and Jounin, the medical ninja carefully inspected the corpses neatly arranged in the room.

Due to the active treatment, there is no odor even if it is left for a period of time.

The medical ninja held a miniature flashlight and shined it on the body parts of the deceased, including the pupils, nostrils, mouth and other locations, which were his key inspection targets.

Of course, there were also the bulging chests of some corpses, as if huge tumors had suddenly grown.

The corpse of the deceased maintained its original posture, and even the fear and pain on his face were vividly displayed without being damaged.

"how?"

Kazuki took a step forward and asked the medical ninja about the results of his examination.

After two days of long journey, she has led a small team of ninjas from the Kingdom of Ghosts to the Kingdom of Valley.

Start investigating the militia injuries here.

Such an abnormal way of death was obviously not done by ordinary people, but by ninjas.

Not only the militiamen, but also two ninjas from the Kingdom of Ghosts were murdered here.

The manner of death was exactly the same as that of these militiamen. They died at the hands of the same person, and they did not offer any resistance during the attack.

The attacker was very strong, at least as strong as a jounin, and he was still a very powerful jounin.

"Some people died because their throats were blocked by objects, and they slowly died. In other cases, objects flowed directly into the body, slowly squeezing out the internal organs. But no matter which way, the deceased is not alive. He died instantly, but slowly watched himself die, struggling for at least half an hour before dying."

The medical ninja had a look of regret on his face.

Generally speaking, ninjas use the simplest and clearest killing methods to kill people. They torture a living person for half an hour and let the living person watch him step into the abyss of death... This kind of cruel killing method feels uncomfortable. Like something a regular ninja can do.

Yiji's face darkened slightly, and the atmosphere in the room became depressing.

She pointed to the swollen chest of part of the corpse and said, "Cut it open and see what's inside."

"yes."

The medical ninja put on protective clothing and a hood. Before he knew what object was in the bulging chest of the corpse, he had to take precautions in advance.

He picked up the scalpel and uncovered the clothes of a deceased person. The open chest revealed a hemisphere. When he touched it, it looked like a balloon, as if the chest was filled with water.

But...this doesn't feel like a water balloon.

This made the medical ninja feel very puzzling.

With curiosity and skillful techniques, he used a scalpel to cut open the deceased's bulging chest.

Pooh.

Pooh.

A soft, disgusting fluid spurted out from the torn wound, splashing all over the medical ninja.

"Is this... mud?"

The medical ninja clearly saw what these soft fluid objects were.

This soil is softer than ordinary soil and can flow well.

Because not only water but also human blood is mixed in, the color of the soil tends to be reddish brown.

"What kind of ninjutsu is this? Did you die after falling into an earth escape technique such as the underworld?"

Yiji raised her eyebrows.

The medical ninja shook his head slowly and replied: "No, the way he died in Huangquannuma was not like this. It should be some unknown ninjutsu...or the blood inheritance limit. The soil was mixed with water and earth. This change in chakra properties is not a simple escape technique."

He pinched a ball of soft mud and sensed the changes in the chakra properties of water and soil.

It means that this kind of mud is an escape technique formed by mixing water and earth chakra.

After being mixed with water attribute chakra, the earth has terrible fluidity, possessing not only the fluid nature of water escape, but also the tenacity and defense capabilities of earth escape.

"Is there a ninja village in Valley Country?"

Ichiki asked the jounin next to him.

"There is no ninja village in the conventional sense... However, there seemed to be a concentration of defected ninjas here in the past, called the 'Valley of Hypocrisy'. However, I remember that the Valley of Hypocrisy was eliminated by Lord Liuli a long time ago. I heard that people from this place later migrated to other countries.”

The Jonin thought of something and answered.

"You continue to be responsible for following up the investigation. I will take others to the Valley of Hypocrisy to have a look."

Yiji gave the order and left the house, leading people to search for the Valley of Hypocrisy.

Although it is not certain that this incident was caused by people from the Valley of Hypocrisy, this possibility cannot be ruled out.

"ah!"

In the forest, the man who was about to attack suddenly covered his heart.

There was a sharp pain, like a knife blade piercing his heart. As he screamed, a large mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

He looked in disbelief at Hidan, who was standing in the blood-red magic circle, piercing his heart with a black spear. There was a moment of confusion in his eyes, and he had no idea what was happening.

Why did the other party pierce his heart and his heart was also damaged?

With such confusion and unwillingness to die, the man fell to the ground, twitched twice and then became motionless.

"Haha, have you seen it, you atheist, this is the consequence of violating the will of Lord Evil God!"

Seeing the bounty target die in doubt and confusion, Hidan felt filled with joy.

God is ‘redeeming’ the lost lamb.

That's how it feels.

"Next, it's time to complete the final prayer ceremony."

Although the process of 'redemption' is very important, the finishing work after 'redemption' must also be perfect without leaving any regrets.

Just as he was about to lie down and pray for the deceased, an inappropriate voice sounded in his ears:

"It's really amazing. Even if your heart is punctured, you won't die?"

This is the voice of a stranger.

It's not that Bai Jue came to find himself.

"Asshole, who's there?"

The prayer ceremony was interrupted, and he was unable to enjoy the redemption and mercy brought by the killing. Hidan immediately cursed and looked towards the source of the sound impatiently.

Perhaps because of his unusual ability to become immortal, Hidan didn't feel the slightest sense of vigilance when a stranger approached him.

You can call it no sense of crisis, or you can call it rough nerves and low alertness to danger.

"I'm Yixue, good afternoon."

A young man walked out from behind the tree. He had the same brown skin and silver hair as the people from the Kingdom of Thunder. His figure was not as tall and powerful as the people from the Kingdom of Thunder. He was a slender type, and even his appearance was more neutral. Soft and delicate, with a delicate face.

But what concerned Hidan the most was the other person's eyes.

It is a pair of eyes of nothingness and emptiness.

But at this moment, a look of curiosity flashed through these empty and nihilistic eyes.

He was probably slightly interested in the 'Evil God-sama' that Hidan had just called.

"Good afternoon, you brat. You interrupted the important prayer ceremony of the Evil God Religion. If you don't get rid of the saboteurs like you who disturbed the ceremony, the Evil God will punish you. So, please be aware. !”

It was determined that this young man was not an ordinary person, but a powerful ninja like the bounty target he had just killed.

Hidan picked up the blood-red March Sickle and showed a bloodthirsty smile to the young man named Yixue.

"Evil God Cult... Lord Evil God..."

Yixue repeated these two nouns.

"That's right!"

"Great, how can I join the Evil God Sect? I want to join this sect!"

Yixue suddenly raised her head, as if she had found some answer, and looked at Hidan with burning eyes.

"Well……"

Instead, it was Hidan who got stuck first.

I didn't expect that the other party would do something like this.

Judging from the sincere and pure eyes of the other party, it seems that he is not joking, but the truth.

The other party really wants to join the evil cult he belongs to.

An unfounded feeling filled Hidan's heart.

He has preached the teachings of the evil cult within the organization more than once. However, the people in the organization are all a group of atheists with no faith.

Not only did he reject him, but he also ridiculed the evil cult he belonged to.

If it weren't for the oppression of the leader, I really wanted to use all these people as sacrifices, carry out 'salvation', and sacrifice them to the great evil god!

While interrupting the ceremony, a trial is required.

But if you come with a noble belief in Lord Evil God, well, from Hidan's point of view, this is a forgivable behavior.

Thinking of this, Hidan couldn't help but burst into tears.

Finally... someone finally realized the greatness and sublimity of the Evil God Cult.

For a moment, his face was filled with excitement:

"You are really discerning, kid. Yes, the Evil God Cult is a unique religion in the world. This rotten ninja world can only be saved by the great Evil God!"

Yes, this ninja world is rotten.

In Hidan's view, this boring ninja world needs saving.

And the way to save is to kill.

Creating ‘redemption’ through killing.

Send the lost lambs into the warm embrace of the evil god, and then ascend to heaven.

"Uh-huh."

Yi Xue seemed to agree with this point of view.

He felt yearned for the strong faith that burst out from Hidan's eyes.

"Okay, I will tell you about joining the sect after I finish praying."

With that said, Hidan lay down in the bloody magic circle, raised his chest that was pierced by the black spear, and started to pray to the evil god of the evil cult with a silver pendant.

"Please let me see the glory of Lord Evil God up close!"

Yi Xue solemnly requested from the side.

What a faithful and steadfast believer!

Hidan wanted to be moved to tears.

"Please feel free to observe as long as you don't disturb me."

Hidan didn't mind Yixue approaching him at close range.

Yi Xue also quickly walked over and knelt down next to Hidan in an extremely upright posture, as if she was studying seriously.

He seemed to exude the brilliance of a pilgrim.

…

"Remember, Yi Xue, if you want to join the Evil God Cult, you must understand several important purposes of the Evil God Cult."

After the prayer ceremony, Hidan stood in front of Yi Xue, a young man who wanted to join the Evil God Cult, and spoke to Yi Xue about the various purposes and teachings of the Evil God Cult with a solemn and solemn expression.

Yixue also listened attentively, without any impatience.

Such an attitude made Hidan feel like he had found a confidant.

"First of all, 'You have to kill your neighbor', 'If someone hits you on the right cheek, you go and rob his heart on the left side', 'Killing is equivalent to salvation, denying all meaningless killings'..."

Hidan began an education that seemed very long and boring to outsiders, but he enjoyed it and worked tirelessly to convey the ideas of the Evil God Cult to Yi Xue.

And Yi Xue has always maintained the attitude of a believer who listens carefully.

"Have you remembered all of this?"

"Yes, Hidan-san."

Yi Xue responded loudly.

"No, you should call me the leader now. After all, the Evil God Religion has got rid of the one-person religion. Well, you are now the bishop under the leader."

Hidan lectured.

"Okay, Master."

Hidan was undoubtedly extremely satisfied with Yixue's attitude.

Hierophant... what a beautiful word.

Great, the distance between him and Lord Evil God has been shortened again.

Once the first believer joins, can the second believer be far behind?

Reviving the Evil God Cult... Such a great ideal suddenly came to Hidan's heart, making him extremely excited.

"Speaking of which, Yi Xue, which village's ninja are you from?"

Hidan asked the question again.

"Me? According to the Lord, I come from a place called the Valley of Hypocrisy."

"The Valley of Hypocrisy? What's there?"

Hidan was curious.

He had heard of a lot of ninja institutions, but never a place like the Valley of Hypocrisy.

"...Simply put, it is a place to escape from the world. Dangerous fugitives from the outside world build a paradise together to avoid trouble. But because the gatherers are dangerous fugitives, in order to maintain order and prevent the occurrence of feuding fugitives During the battle, everyone who comes in must transform, switch their personalities, and live a new life with a new identity, which means that they will no longer be involved in the disputes of the ninja world and enjoy long-term peace."

Yi Xue briefly described what kind of place the Valley of Hypocrisy is.

"Ha." Hidan laughed sarcastically, not hiding the contempt in his tone: "What are these, a group of cowards who dare not face reality? They say they want peace, but they are just cowards who are afraid of death. There is no one more superficial and ignorant than someone who always talks about peace.”

"Well, the leader is right, that's why I think that place is becoming more and more boring. I think the Evil God Cult might be more suitable for me. That kind of peace is just a false peace."

Yi Xue nodded in agreement.

Obviously, he was extremely dissatisfied with the current situation in the Valley of Hypocrisy.

"That's right, Yi Xue, our evil sect exists to judge these boring and naive people. We must punish fools who indulge in false peace. Want peace, hate war, no matter which path , will eventually lead to the path of killing."

Hidan's tone seemed quite serious, no longer full of nonsense like before.

"There is no paradise in this world. After all, if you want to escape death and war, just die. But cowards don't dare to resist or die, they only escape from reality...Yixue, I Let me tell you the ultimate teaching of the Evil God Cult - peace means killing!"

"Peace...is killing..."

Yixue thought about this matter carefully, looking quite shocked.

"Yixue, in order to complete your redemption, I now order you to destroy the place called the Valley of Hypocrisy. The existence of this place seriously violates the purpose of the Evil God Cult. The Evil God Cult must clean up such moths! "

Hidan issued such an order to the new believer Yi Xue.

It is in line with the concept he preached before-you have to kill your neighbors!

"That's actually not necessary, Master."

Yi Xue paused and said this.

"Well, what's wrong?"

Hidan didn't understand why.

I saw a cheerful and happy smile on Yixue's pretty face.

"Because I have killed all the people there not long ago. Well, there are a total of two hundred and three people...one or more, and I have killed them all."

"Oh, you are indeed my bishop. Well done, Yixue! You have completed the true redemption. You are indeed a born believer of the Evil God!"

Hidan patted Yi Xue on the shoulder, feeling proud that he had such a vision.

"Well, yes. Next, I have to kill someone."

When Yixue said this, a sharp murderous aura flashed through her turbid eyes.

"who is it?"

"A woman named 'Uchiha Ruri'. She killed the village chief I had admired in the past in the Valley of Hypocrisy. If it weren't for her, the Valley of Hypocrisy wouldn't be like this... Everything is her fault, yes She disturbed the tranquility of this land... She broke my perception of hypocrisy and reality, allowing me to walk from illusion to reality. She inadvertently became my guide. Therefore, in order to thank her, I must kill She...well, then she will dedicate her heart to the great evil god!"

Yixue muttered something.

Although many years have passed since this incident, the name 'Uchiha Ruri' and her appearance are still engraved in his heart, and he has not forgotten them all these years.

That woman.

Respectable woman, hateful woman.

It was she who awakened the reality of the valley of hypocrisy and shattered the hypocritical peace that once shrouded the valley of hypocrisy.

He has always been worried about this and vowed to kill the other party.

It can be said that after burying the Valley of Hypocrisy with his own hands, killing Uchiha Ruri was his only pursuit and goal.

"Uchiha Ruri...Have I heard this name somewhere? It sounds like he is from the same family as That Itachi."

Hidan tilted his head and thought hard about where he had heard this name before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

In fact, he didn't particularly want to know anything other than the Evil God Cult.

"Does the leader know her whereabouts?"

Yixue asked excitedly.

"It's not very clear. But among the people I know, there is indeed a guy named 'Uchiha'. Maybe he knows the woman named 'Uchiha Ruri' you mentioned. I'd better ask him when the time comes. Really. No, please do the same to Bai Jue. Okay, the things here are over, let’s go. Next, I will take you to see the leader of the organization, and from now on you will work with me. I don’t know if your strength is up to par. , if you are not qualified, you can only be a substitute member."

Hidan picked up the body with a high bounty on it and left the forest with his new followers.

Valley of Hypocrisy, old site.

In the huge caves in the valley, there are collapsed houses everywhere, and the muddy mud flowing freely will cover the caves that can accommodate villages.

The corpse, twisted to an alien state, was alive in the dry mud, showing the painful struggle of death and wanting to escape from the village.

The body had been left to rot for some time.

Wearing a gas mask, Kazuki led a small team of ninjas from the Kingdom of Oni to come here, and what they saw was this scene.

Because it had been invaded by Liuli, the illusion barrier used for defense here has become ineffective.

Yi Ji led people in easily.

Unexpectedly, after being invaded by her mother, the remaining people in the Valley of Hypocrisy continued to rebuild a village on the collapsed site.

But now it appears the village has been devastated again.

Moreover, all the villagers were killed, and no one survived.

The corpses were in the same miserable state as those of the dead militiamen and Oni Country ninjas.

Needless to say, these people all died at the hands of the same person.

Yi Ji frowned in embarrassment. Based on this alone, there was no way to determine who the murderer was.

Whether the murderer is a man or a woman, whether he is tall or short, there is nothing he can do.

All I know is that a special blood inheritance limit is used.

"Recover all the bodies here. I hope their brains are still intact."

Since it is impossible to determine from the wounds on the corpse and the scene, we can only start from the memory retained by the corpse.

This is also the fastest way to find out the real culprit.

"yes."

The ninjas of the Kingdom of Ghosts began to deal with these rotten corpses and preserved each corpse in a scroll.

Just as the ninjas of the Kingdom of Ghosts were collecting these corpses, figures came one after another along the path of the cave and lined up in a single formation.

Ichiki took a closer look and saw that the ninjas who appeared here were not the ninja troops belonging to the Demon Country, but Kumogakure's Anbu.

Eight people in total.

The leaders were two jounin, and the remaining six were all powerful chuunin.

"What do you Kumogakure ANBU do here?"

Because Kumogakure had communicated with Oni Country in advance and would come to Valley Country to inquire about some matters, Kazuhime was not surprised that Kumogakure's ANBU appeared in Valley Country.

"According to Lord Raikage's order, we are here to look for the defecting ninja who is haunting the Valley Country. However, it seems that the other party is not here."

The leader, a Kumogakure ANBU jounin, replied.

"This is the Valley of Hypocrisy, but there is no traitorous ninja you are looking for. Please come back."

Yi Ji refused with a cold attitude.

"excuse me."

Hearing Ichiki's intention to drive people away, Kumogakure's ANBU had no choice but to retreat. It would be unwise to fight the ninjas of the Demon Country here.

Watching the Kumogakure ANBU leave, Ichiji continued to direct the personnel on site to recover the bodies here.

Regarding Kumogakure's actions in the Valley Country, Ichiki just turned a blind eye and didn't pay much attention to it.

(Yixue is a character who appears in the official novel. She was curious about the Evil God Cult and planned to join. Although she was later killed by Hidan himself... As for her strength, she was about the same as Hidan. If Kakuzu hadn't been there to remind him, Hidan wouldn't have been able to join. There is a chance that the car will overturn. As for the brain, just like Hidan, it seems not very normal and doesn't like to think.)
