"I said, I said." Chester's pain in his leg temporarily relieved, and he was sweating coldly on his head, and he quickly said: "The two people came here three months ago, and they also made this underground secret room. They forced me to trick Betty and hurt her. They forced them to do things like Ner's. They followed, I had to do that, I was just forced."

"Oh, so that's it." Panis nodded and said to Lina: "You can do what you want to do most now."

"Bang", Lina seemed to be infected by the characters in the book and was extremely violent. When she heard Pannis' words, she kicked her without raising her head. Chester screamed, her other leg was twisted and deformed, and her pants were wet. Lina sneered and said, "I want to do this the most. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I sincerely hope that you will lie so that I can have more opportunities to do this. Dear Mr. Chester, you must satisfy my little wish."

"I dare not, I must tell the truth." Feeling the uncovered malice in Lina's heart, Chester almost burst into tears and said with a trembling body: "I did it, I did it, I killed Neo, and I also caused the injuries on Betty. I told you not to kill me, don't kill me."

"Did they really come three months ago?" Catherine squatted beside Chester, pointing to the head on McVilling's waist and said, "You're looking at it, are these two people? Are there anyone else?"

"It's true, they came here three months ago." Chester glanced at the head and said, "That's right. It's the two of them, there's no one else."

"His second sentence is lying." Vivian gently stroked the staff and said softly: "Mr. Chester. You can try to continue lying in front of me and see if you can deceive my eyes. Maybe one sentence will succeed, haha."

"No, no, I remember it wrong, it was three, three people." Chester shouted at the top of his lungs: "But one left shortly after he arrived. He said that this place was too dangerous and was too close to Longshan and the Bailong clan. Living people like him could not stay here, otherwise if they were discovered, they might reveal their secrets, so they left early."

"The undead mage is gone." Catherine ignored the sob Chester and whispered to Pannis and Lina: "I just fought with these two corpse ghouls. After defeating them, I hadn't asked a few questions. These two corpse ghouls died again like the previous ones. There was no possibility of asking for information at all. It seemed that the other party was really careful in this regard and did not leave any chance for us."

"What a troublesome enemy." Lina curled her lips and looked at the head on McVillin's waist with some disgust: "But why do you cut off the head of the ghoul and bring it back? Do you look very appetizing?"

"Take it back and offer it to the Guardians." McVillin patted the head and said, "These semi-undead spirits smell like guardian enemies. Although I don't know what's going on, it's always right to take it back and show it to the Guardians."

"Okay. Don't change the subject first." Catherine waved her hand to stop Lina, and continued to squat beside Chester and asked, "They'll find you after they come? What do you want you to do? You can explain it yourself, don't wait for us to ask one by one."

"Yes. Yes, the three of them suddenly appeared in the village. At that time, winter had just begun. The village was not very closed to the outside world. Occasionally, there were travelers coming and going. No one paid much attention after they came. As a result, one day they suddenly came to me and said a lot of words, but I didn't understand it. Anyway, it means that spells had been cast on me, so I could die at any time." Chester's fear made him dare not hide it anymore, and said quickly: "In order to make me believe, they also demonstrated it to me, which made my whole body suddenly hurt so much that I rolled on the ground. I was scared and could only agree to obey their orders. What they asked me to do? I dare not to do it. I was forced. It's not that I wanted to hurt them."

"Some of your answer seems to have nothing to do with the question." Panis sneered: "Lina..."

"I'm wrong, I'm wrong." Chester leaned back a few steps away from Lina with his hands, shouting loudly: "I promise not to say irrelevant words, I promise to say everything, and don't kick again."

"Unuseless man, how could that Betty choose you?" Lina spat and cursed hatefully: "You have done anything to her by thinking about it yourself. That's a girl who grew up with you and is ready to give your body and mind to you. You treated someone who truly loved you like this. I thought you had so courage, but it turned out to be such a waste."

"Continue." Catherine looked at Lina strangely. She did not go down to the secret room. She didn't know why Lina was so angry, but she did not stop Lina's spitting, but continued to ask: "What will you do after you control you?"

"They, they said, Betty's date of birth, age, location and physical characteristics are very suitable." Chester stammered: "They also said that such conditions are very suitable for being a human pillar, so I can cooperate with them."

"It's true that it's Renzhu." Panis twitched his lips and gave Lina an understanding look: "No wonder you're so angry. The situation below is probably very exciting. Renzhu, hey, Renzhu..."

"What is a human pillar?" Catherine didn't know much about the ritual of the evil god's sacrifice. She frowned and asked, "Is it also part of the sacrifice? This name sounds uncomfortable."

"To put it simply, the existence of a human pillar belongs to a large ritual, and cannot be considered a sacrifice, but more of a supporting ritual for sacrifice." Panis explained: "Ordinary evil god sacrifice means to make the sacrifice die in pain. The more painful the death, the greater the power it brings. This is mainly for the evil god to deliver power but the sacrifice method used by the evil god. However, the human pillar is different from the rituals it is equipped with. They are carried out for a specific purpose, such as to establish a better connection with the evil god. The ritual requires multiple human pillars. These human pillars are not chosen casually, but are confirmed through complex calculations to confirm that several can be used as targets of human pillars, and then create human pillars at the same time. As long as one of them fails, all human pillars will be abandoned and need to be recalculated."

"The way to sacrifice is to make the sacrifice die eventually, but the human pillar is different." Panis sighed and asked, "Are you sure you still want to hear the following content?"

"Tell me." Catherine stared at Chester and couldn't see any joy and anger: "I think I've guessed the following content and I'm prepared."

"The Man Pillar needs a sacrifice to be alive, or suffer the greatest pain, and he will never die even if he wants to die." Pannis said lightly: "Whether physically or spiritually, the pain, despair, hatred, and unwillingness of the sacrifice will strengthen the power of the man Pillar and increase the success rate of the ritual. To achieve this effect, those evil believers often tempt the sacrifice to be closest to the people they trust most and let them torture the sacrifice themselves, which can make the sacrifice produce double negative emotions and fully enhance the effect. So, when I found the apology letter written by Betty to him in Neo's corpse and knew that Betty really loved Chester, and then think about this unreasonable behavior of Chester, the first thing I thought of the Man Pillar ceremony."

"Very good." Catherine nodded, "Mr. Chester, so you promised them to hurt Betty?"

"Yes, I can't do anything," Chester said tremblingly, not knowing whether it was because of pain or panic. "If I don't do what they say, they will make me die in great pain, and I can only listen to them."

"Lie again." Vivian sighed and said, "You have tried it, but unfortunately, I didn't succeed this time. I hope you have the courage to continue working hard next time."

"It's an arm this time." Lina held the book in her arms and looked at Chester indifferently and said, "Give you a chance to choose, do you choose your left arm or your right arm?"

"No, no, no, I'll tell the truth." Chester burst into tears, moved back little by little, and said as fast as possible: "They did not threaten me except when they asked me to obey at the beginning, but they tempted me, they promised to give me wealth that I could never imagine, and also have a very high status. I was not because of their threat, but I was moved by the conditions they gave. This is the truth, the truth."

After Chester finished speaking, the basement suddenly became quiet. Several people in the adventure group, including the village mayor, Lao Dark and McVillin, were silent. Panis narrowed his eyes and had a very strange smile on his face: "So, for these temptations, you reached out to the person who loved you?"

"No, I don't." Chester retorted loudly: "Betty hadn't chosen me at that time, and she couldn't be considered the one who loved me."

"Yes." Panis clapped his hands and asked, "How could those people just tempt you? No one knew that Betty would choose you in the end instead of Ner's."

"They created a lot of opportunities for me." With Vivian's clear eyes, Chester dared not hide it: "It was only in these three months that I used these opportunities to impress Betty and let her choose mine in the end."

"These people are strange." Catherine said with some confusion: "It is obvious that a simple threat may be possible, but she insists on choosing temptation, and she will do such a complicated thing to cooperate with him later. Is it necessary?"
