Chapter 367 Crazy Worship of Beauty
"My Lord Bishop Aphrodite, please grant us beauty!"
The kneeling divine guards shouted piously once more.
Zhang Ning and Li Cheng exchanged a glance and guessed that the middle-aged man was about to use his special ability. He lowered his head, knelt down and retreated, retreating to the side of a shop to seek cover.
"Well, I, the bishop, will grant you beauty again!"
As soon as the words fell, these divine guards suddenly stood up and quickly gathered at the nearest billboard display screen, craning their necks and staring at the exaggerated dance of the charming bishop in fascination.
"New type of hypnosis?" Li Cheng couldn't help but say.
“Look at their faces!”
"There is such a supernatural power! It is ugly in the light!??"
Zhang Ning and Li Cheng looked closely and saw that the faces of those divine guards began to change drastically.
The originally ordinary faces gradually became extremely ugly, with some faces twisted, some with protruding foreign bodies, some with swollen scars, some were completely unrecognizable, without a single piece of healthy flesh, and some looked as if they had suffered burns and disfigurement. There were so many of them that they couldn't keep up.
At this moment, Uncle Bishop Aphrodite danced even more vigorously, muttering something. When the music stopped, he made a single eye wink and blew a kiss, and a bunch of hearts flew out of his pouting mouth.
At the same time, the billboard emitted a dazzling white light, which made the divine guard's face turn pale.
Zhang Ning and Li Cheng quickly closed their eyes. They roughly guessed what the bishop's special ability was.
The light only lasted for a few seconds. After the light faded, the divine guards with ugly faces looked like models from an advertisement. Even the drunkard uncle who was with them just now turned into a sleek young man.
Zhang Ning and Li Cheng hid behind the shop, watching the scene in silence.
These people took out the small mirrors they carried with them, looked at their beautiful selves in the mirror, and murmured excitedly, "Ah, how can I be so beautiful!"
"This is not a gift of beauty, it's all an illusion!" Li Cheng said.
"No wonder there is no need for brainwashing. There is a ready-made crazy worship and people are willing to submit to him for his beauty."
"Besides taking the corpse cores of the zombies outside, I didn't expect that the heads of the zombies out there have other uses."
The middle-aged man hanging on the wire - Bishop Aphrodite put his hands on his hips, a smug look on his face, and then slowly descended.
At this time, the music in the bar started again, and the entire underground city returned to its previous lively scene, as if the face-changing magic had never happened.
"Let's go meet the bishop. It's disgusting, but we have to find out the truth."
"Okay, take the boy with you."
Each of them flirted with the drunkard and went towards the direction of the bishop, and kept forcing him to drink on the way. When they arrived at the place, he was already drunk and unconscious, and fell asleep on the bench.
A nearly 7-meter-tall half-naked stone statue with broken arms was located in the center of the circular fountain. Below the waist, the statue was wrapped in a long skirt made of green branches and flowers, and the edge of the skirt was surrounded by several circles of small stone Cupids. Looking up, its upper body had eight abdominal muscles and a lean physique, and its face looked like that of Bishop Aphrodite.
The divine guards who passed by bowed devoutly.
"He is more popular than the All-Knowing Church."
"It seems so. The All-Knowing Cult values his supernatural powers, but what he wants is to be alive and beautiful. If a drunkard can become a young man, then why doesn't he make himself younger? The most likely possibility is that he suffered backlash or that he was originally very old."
"My bet is age."
Zhang Ning and Li Cheng followed the example of the people here and bowed devoutly to the stone statue, then quickly left and headed towards the bustling place.
Bishop Aphrodite was sitting on a special carriage with golden curtains, surrounded by a group of beautiful believers, enjoying the bows and greetings of the divine guards along the way, and returning to his own magnificent palace of the gods.
"Go, bring in a group of new faces. We're tired of seeing them." Bishop Afu waved his finger, and the believers quickly responded.
He tiptoed and twisted his body gracefully as he walked into the palace.
The believers shouted to the crowd that followed them: "Line up in order. The bishop will now select 100 servants to serve in the palace!"
When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed and quickly lined up. Zhang Ning and Li Cheng heard that they could enter the palace, so they immediately stood behind the line. This was an opportunity to get into the enemy's interior.
While waiting in line, Zhang Ning whispered to Li Cheng, "We have to be careful."
Li Cheng nodded, his eyes alert.
The selected team just happened to be stuck with their last two people.
Soon, the believers led them into the palace.
The palace is magnificent and luxurious, with mirrors of all sizes installed everywhere, so that one can admire his or her beauty anytime and anywhere.
After washing and spraying perfume, both men and women changed into white, slightly transparent gauze servant uniforms. Zhang Li and his companion felt awkward in their clothes, but in order to complete the task, they had to pretend to be like this.
At this time, a female believer came in with a box in her hand and said a few words to the male believer who led them in.
Bishop Aphrodite sat on the high platform, with a yellow peach on her fork, watching the dancers and imitating them with her hands and feet from time to time.
He glanced at the newly appointed servants on both sides, all of whom had their faces covered with white veils. As expected of him, he had great taste.
"Mysterious beauty is hazy beauty." Bishop Afu raised the wine glass gracefully, tasted it carefully, and soon he was slightly tipsy.
"Serve His Excellency the Bishop to bed!"
The believers sent the bishop back to his bedroom, and the remaining believers, one man and one woman, each selected 10 male and female servants on the spot.
Zhang Ning and Li Cheng understood this shabby operation immediately. When it was their turn, they pretended that their hands were numb and let the trays of wine and fruits in their hands slip. They picked them up again without any aesthetic taste. Sure enough, the believers skipped them and chose other servants.
Finally they followed the others who were not chosen to clean the mirrors and stone carvings in the corridor.
Zhang Ning and Li Cheng acted separately, cleaning and checking the situation inside the palace.
There is a small coffee table next to each room, on which are placed stone sculptures of their Bishop Afu in various postures.
They were wiped so hard that they wanted to vomit.
There are no guards inside the palace, and not even much surveillance.
The door to the bishop's bedroom was half-covered. Zhang Ning and Li Cheng pretended to be working hard to wipe the stone carvings and mirrors a few meters away. Bursts of noise came from the bedroom, and you knew what was going on without even looking.
"I didn't expect that old man Baiju has such great capabilities. 20 people, what a concept! No, I want to broaden my horizons. Look at the wind!" Li Cheng thought it was unlikely and wanted to confirm it with his own eyes, so he stepped forward.
Zhang Ning couldn't stop shouting, so he had to follow forward to see what was happening.
"That's what I told you, how is that possible?" Li Cheng patted his butt and walked away immediately after reading it.
Zhang Ning glanced inside and immediately felt his eyes were severely polluted. There was a group sex going on inside, and the old Bishop Bai Ju was half lying on the bed, watching with great interest. At this moment, it was thanks to his wit that he dodged.
After searching for several hours without any results, the two of them returned to the bathroom and found the uniforms of believers in the dryer. They put them on and found two divine guards on the street to replace themselves before leaving immediately.
"The surveillance wires are pointing upwards. Apart from the palace, there is no place to rest. This should just be their entertainment venue."
"Yeah, I feel the same way. It's obvious that the old man has been in this underground city for a long time. After all, he dies in the light. Being the king of the underground, he doesn't have to be exposed to the sun, rain, or cold wind."
"Let's go up and look for him again. Oh, and see if that drunkard is there. The stretch of road he walked on should be where they rested."
They came to the bench where the drunkard had slept before, and found that he was gone.
"Maybe he was taken away by someone, or he left on his own," Zhang Ning speculated.
"Let's ignore him for now and go up quickly." Li Cheng said.
The two took the elevator to the ground. The elevator was full of drunken divine guards, so they had no shortage of people to lead the way.
Zhang Ning took back the backpack hidden in the snow, and ten minutes later, he arrived at the resting place of the Divine Guards.
It was the same high-rise building they had seen during the day.
"The two thin dogs are also here. This is the place." Li Cheng said softly.
