Chapter 31: Girl who goes out to sea

Isabella remained silent.

Yu Yao cautiously said, “I know you are an Apostle… I can feel the oppressive power of your faith, which is different from the fire within us.”

She held her fingers tightly. “I have no ill intentions, nor have I harmed anyone.”

Isabella coldly replied, “Answer my questions, and then I will consider your suggestion.”

“Whose follower are you? And what are you doing here?”

“…”

After hesitating for a moment, Yu Yao said, “I am a follower of Pray to the Gods, from the East Sea clan in the Low-dimensional Space. My real name is Hai Cheng Yao, and I am a prophet of the East Sea clan.”

“The reason I appeared in the High-dimensional Space is also because of the will of the gods.”

“Our clan can give birth to sea monsters through mating. The purer the bloodline, the stronger the sea monster can be. But for the collateral bloodline, we can only rely on the power of the divine totem.”

“In the divine realm of the High-dimensional Space, the East Sea clan combines with the potential gods to give birth to even more powerful sea monsters. This is also the mission of those of us chosen as ’Sea Departure Women’.”

“We give birth to powerful sea monsters for our clan and offer our strength to the fire of faith in the gods.”

“But… I defied the command of the gods and escaped.”

She lowered her head, her face filled with shame.

Isabella remained unmoved. “So, Pray to the Gods summoned you to the High-dimensional Space to procreate sea monsters with other men?”

Yu Yao nodded. “Our clan has a special bloodline, and we can give birth to babies in just one day.”

“Why did you run away?”

“…I don’t know.”

Confusion appeared on the woman’s face.

“On the first day, I was normal, just like before, and I gave birth to a sea monster baby with a man from the divine realm. At that time, I felt proud because I was contributing to the great gods and the entire clan.”

“But on the second day, the man brought me money after mating with me, and I suddenly felt uncomfortable.”

“On the third day, I felt scared… and by the fourth day, I felt like I had changed completely. I began to question whether what I was doing was right or wrong.”

Yu Yao’s voice trembled, and her body tensed as if she were afraid.

“I think I am turning into a monster… When individuals from the Low-dimensional Space enter the High-dimensional Space, they gradually transform into monsters due to the distortion of the rules. This is something all ’Sea Departure Women’ know.”

She whispered, “I know I will definitely be caught; it’s just a matter of time.”

“In this world where only the gods are qualified to survive, I only have fifteen days to live.”

“Twelve days have already passed, and I have three days left to live. After three days, I will end my life before completely turning into a monster.”

“I can already feel it. I now have a strong desire to eat raw meat and drink fresh blood… So I can only secretly buy live fish and hide to eat these things.”

Through Isabella’s eyes, Lu Yao coldly observed Yu Yao.

There was one question she had not answered directly.

Isabella brought it up.

“Why did Pray to the Gods let you escape?”

“…I don’t know either. Maybe He is busy with more important matters. As a minor character like me, I am insignificant to Pray to the Gods.”

“As a prophet transformed by the gods, just like heroes and apostles, the fire of faith bestowed upon me by Pray to the Gods cannot be defied or transgressed. It would instantly consume me.”

Lu Yao conveyed through his eyes, telling Isabella, “Ask her why she chose the previous man.”

Yu Yao explained, “I suspect he is also a god.”

“When I saw him, he was very cautious and took the initiative to talk to me. At that time, I thought he might have discovered my identity, so I followed him.”

“Only gods can resist gods. If he really is a god, perhaps he can bestow blessings upon me and allow me to escape the punishment of Pray to the Gods, to continue living.”

“Unfortunately, he is just an ordinary person in the High-dimensional Space.”

Yu Yao did not hide her disappointment. “The reason I followed him was because it was less likely to expose myself, making it easier for me to continue searching for the true gods.”

“So you pretended to be lovers with him?”

“Yes.”

Yu Yao laughed. “I have no feelings for him, nor will I harm him. Because to me, he is just a piece of clothing used to cover myself.”

Lu Yao sighed as he listened.

Once again, Lao Zhou fell into his girlfriend’s hands.

“Understood.”

Isabella nodded. “Do you have anything else to say?”

As if realizing something, Yu Yao nervously said, “Please don’t kill me. I just want to live… I have never harmed anyone.”

Suddenly, a yellow sticky liquid oozed out from the seats, cushions, and door cracks in the car.

This liquid silently stuck Isabella tightly, like soft candy, quickly enveloping her into a solid gel.

Yu Yao sat on the chair, her face wearing a sinister smile.”Indeed, it worked.” She licked her lips.

Before she could celebrate for long, Yu Yao’s eyes suddenly became vacant.

“What… am I doing here?”

“What’s happening to me?”

“Who am I?”

“Where am I?”

“What is this?”

Confusion surfaced in Yu Yao’s eyes. She looked at her own hands, then at the yellow gel-like Isabella next to her, and was startled.

“What is this thing?”

Her eyes widened, visibly losing the calm and rationality she had before, becoming incoherent, and her gaze scattered.

The gel began to melt at this time, receding from Isabella’s body like a tide. Everything was like a rewind, and soon there was no trace of the yellow liquid inside the car.

Isabella still stared at Yu Yao as if nothing had happened before.

“Master, she has lost her sanity and cognition due to the beastification ceremony and may become a beast at any time.”

Isabella lowered her head, her gaze falling on her chest.

Only then did Lu Yao notice the small black sculpture hanging around her neck, which was the “Image of the Skinner”. Once the beastification ceremony is initiated, the person stared at by the many eyes on the statue will become a sacrifice.

In its place, a small pale flame floated above Yu Yao’s head.

“This is the power of faith obtained from the ceremony.”

Isabella raised her hand, and the flame dove into it.

Lu Yao immediately saw a +10 symbol.

This beastification ceremony had gained 10 points of faith.

Isabella requested, “Master, please allow me to execute her. If she fully beastifies or mutates, there will be certain unknown risks.”

“Quick battle, quick decision.” Lu Yao said.

He could tell that Isabella was very restrained, deliberately enticing Yu Yao to make a move.

The reason was not hard to understand. Isabella was demonstrating to Lu Yao the danger of a low-dimensional individual losing control after entering the high-dimensional space through this real-life case.

Isabella punched through Yu Yao’s chest.

The female prophet from the Donghai clan gradually lost her luster in her eyes.

Soon, only a black figure remained in the seat next to her, like ashes after burning.

The ashes covered a yellow stone.

Isabella picked up the stone and closed the car door.
