Chapter 4459 The Other Side 428
Gong Jie drew his knife and stabbed the man in the thigh. It was extremely painful, but not fatal.
He questioned again sternly, “Are you going to tell me or not?!”
The man finally wavered and began to beg! “Just kill me! Just kill me! Stop torturing me…”
“I’m warning you. I’m giving you one last chance. Otherwise, I have nothing but methods to torture you until you wish you were dead!” Gong Jie stabbed him in the waist again.
!!
The man screamed like a pig being slaughtered. “I… I’ll talk… I’ll talk…!” His body shuddered as he struggled to enunciate each word. “The Sect Master is righteous. He thinks… he thinks that… that man has the bloodline of the Holy Son. Moreover, he wishes… he wishes…”
“What does he wish?”
“He wishes to use that hostage as the final sacrifice. He has decided to use that Holy Son as the sacrifice. Tonight, all the believers… will gather in the square. Then, they will accept the last favor of the Sect Master and follow him with their lives…”
Gong Jie was stunned when he heard that. He suddenly recalled what Vermilion Bird said.
The bucket in the plaza held strawberry juice laced with cyanide.
Tonight, Jim will call all the believers to gather in the plaza. Everyone will drink the poisonous strawberry juice and commit mass suicide. Moreover, they will burn a living person as a sacrifice before dawn.
“Today we all die, but tomorrow he will resurrect us!”
Mass suicide…
How insane!
Gong Jie interrogated, “Sacrifice? How?”
The man replied, “The Sect Master intends to tie him to a cross and set him on fire…”
“What!?” Everyone looked at each other in disbelief. The insanity of it.
Gong Jie was furious. “Where is he now?!”
“Now… now, he should have been brought to the plaza?!”
“Where’s the plaza?”
The man suddenly stopped talking. It was obvious that he was unwilling to reveal so much information!
“Are you going to tell me?” Gong Jie gripped the Defense Master tightly, his eyes as cold as a ferocious beast waiting for an opportunity to hunt in the dark.
The man was half scared to death and finally confessed everything. “I’ll take you there! I’ll take you there… Please, don’t torture me anymore!”
At once, Gong Jie stood up, looked around, and issued an order. “Prepare weapons and a car for me!”
“But, Young Master Jie, there’s crossfire everywhere now. It’s too dangerous to do such a rash thing!”
“Cut the crap!” The man turned around with a murderous aura. “Go get ready!”
“… Roger… we’ll prepare right away.”
…
“Long live the Sacred Temple!”
“Long live Jim!”
“Long live the Sacred Temple!”
“Long live the Holy Son!”
Hua Jin was jolted awake by the majestic roars of the crowd. He opened his eyes in a daze. Before he fully regained consciousness, he saw a huge plaza before him under the moonlight.
On the plaza, a crowd of disciples gathered together. Some were holding babies, while others were supporting each other.
He was shocked. Just as he opened his mouth, he suddenly saw a man in a black robe walking in front of him and a bucket filled with something.
“What are you doing?”
Before he could see what was in the bucket, he saw the man pick it up.
Instantly, he was drenched by a rain of gasoline!
