Chapter 486-1: All Fear Comes from Insufficient Firepower. Summon the God and Slay the God! (1)
[Under the villagers’ strange and indifferent gazes, you follow the crowd’s footsteps toward the only temple in Li Family Village.]
[The temple named Pure Goodness Temple is located on a hill behind the village. To reach the temple, one must pass through the village.]
[Along the way, the women and children of every household all stand silently at their doorways, their indifferent gazes focused on you, making your back feel a little cold.]
[Only then do you notice that all those heading to the temple to worship are adult men. There is not a single woman or child among them.]
[No one in the advancing group speaks. The entire village is abnormally silent. You can only vaguely hear children whispering into each other’s ears, saying fragmented things like ‘killing sacrifice,’ ‘relief from calamity,’ and ‘brow bone.’]
[In this atmosphere of extreme oppression, you follow the villagers over the hill and arrive at Pure Goodness Temple at the top of the small mountain.]
[The vermilion gate pillars before the ancient temple have, at some point, been painted pitch black.]
[The midday sunlight is blazing and dazzling, yet the interior of the temple is extremely dim, lit only by the faint glow of scattered candle flames, allowing you to barely make out the outline of the clay idol in the deepest part.]
[Beside the temple are piled many headless livestock corpses, with flies swarming over them and a foul stench filling the air.]
