I Want To Do Something

Chapter 606: Holy Maiden


In the mid-19th century, the foreign settlers who established the United States of America drove the indigenous people of North America to some barren lands, although it was euphemistically called the "Native American Reservation", in reality it was just "confining" the Native Americans within a certain range.


However, as the United States of America's awareness of "human rights" awakened, the United States of America faced a very troublesome problem, that is, how to deal with the "Native American Reservation" mess, because at that time, the United States of America was the "arch-enemy" of the Native Americans, not only killing their family members, but also robbing their land.


To be blunt, if the United States of America had simply wiped out the Native Americans from the beginning, the situation would at least not be as embarrassing as it is now.


So in order to portray itself as the lighthouse of the world, the United States of America had no choice but to try its best to "compensate" the Native Americans, so the US government decided to grant the Native American Reservation a high degree of autonomy, the most important of which was to allow the Native Americans to operate casinos on their reservations.


After all, the Native Americans had been forced to live on small and barren pieces of land, and their cultural level had long been completely out of touch with the outside world, so the Native Americans who lacked the ability to make a living in modern society could only rely on the highly profitable casinos to raise funds for the survival of the tribe.


Therefore, at present, casinos can be seen almost everywhere in the Native American Reservations of the United States of America.


However, the casinos within the Native American Reservations are not as regular as the casinos in Las Vegas, after all, the casinos in the Native American Reservations are completely managed by the Native Americans, and there are times when the law is not followed there.


So for foreign tourists, it's better not to go to the casinos within the Native American Reservations, lest they end up in trouble and unable to explain themselves.


Therefore, it is not difficult to infer that Su Ziche's consecutive three-day visits to the casinos within the Native American Reservation could not have been for the purpose of gambling.


"If I'm not mistaken, some Native American tribes worship the deity Great Old One - Serpent God Yig, and the Serpent God Yig's clan, the snake men, should be the existence worshipped by the Lighthouse Society. If the Lighthouse Society is related to the Freemasons, then Su Ziche's consecutive three-day visits to the casinos within the Native American Reservation would be very normal, because those casinos within the Native American Reservation are also the properties of the Freemasons!" Zhang Jingxu said seriously.


Zhang Wenbing nodded and said with a smile, "Zhang Jingxu, you guessed it right. The casinos within that Native American Reservation are indeed the properties of the Freemasons, because the tribal chief responsible for managing that Native American Reservation is also an important member of the Freemasons. More than ten years ago, the Freemasons even held a secret meeting and a Ritual Ceremony in that Native American Reservation, so we now suspect that Su Ziche's sister has been fostered in that Native American Reservation after being taken out of China, because the Native Americans and us Chinese look quite similar, and most importantly, Su Ziche's sister appeared by his side after he left that Native American Reservation."


"And then Su Ziche has been traveling around the United States of America with his sister, but their stopovers are basically the properties of the Freemasons, so we haven't found out why they went to those places and what their purpose was. But we have investigated an interesting thing, which is that Su Ziche's parents were also in the United States of America at the time, but Su Ziche and his sister did not go to see their parents, which is obviously abnormal. And we now also suspect that Su Ziche may have been switched, because many of his living habits have changed after coming to the Island Nation."


Liu Xing raised an eyebrow and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the snake man clan has quite good technology and magic level, so they have many ways to switch Su Ziche. But the question is, why do the Freemasons want to switch Su Ziche? At that time, Su Ziche had already been brainwashed by his parents for more than ten years, so Su Ziche was already a fanatic believer of the Freemasons. Could it be that even after all that, the Freemasons still don't trust Su Ziche?"


Zhang Wenbing shrugged and replied, "This is also something that our China Dao Sect finds a bit puzzling. Normally, the Su Ziche at that time could have already gone to the Yamashita fire sea for the Freemasons, but even after all that, the Freemasons still don't trust Su Ziche's words, which means that the mission the Freemasons are about to give Su Ziche must be extremely important, important enough for the Freemasons to need to make sure that Su Ziche will accept their orders 100%."


"It seems the problem has come back to the starting point - what exactly happened to Su Ziche's sister that is worth the Freemasons going to so much trouble to send her to the Island Nation? From the current situation, I think the mythical creature in the Mirror World alone should not be worth Su Ziche's sister staying in the Island Nation for so long."


Ling Ishikawa frowned and said.


Zhang Wenbing sighed and said helplessly, "You are all right. Although our China Dao Sect has made some progress in the investigation of Su Ziche's sister, based on the current situation, we are still only scratching the surface. We need to obtain more clues about Su Ziche's sister to determine her true situation. But one thing we can be sure of is that we must be careful with Su Ziche's sister."


Liu Xing nodded, agreeing that an unknown enemy is the most dangerous.


However, Liu Xing suddenly had a bold idea - to arrange for Rundell to attack Su Ziche's sister.


First, although Liu Xing has always been criticizing Rundell, Liu Xing still trusts Rundell's abilities. So Liu Xing believes that if Rundell goes to attack Su Ziche's sister, there should be no problem, as Rundell should be able to escape unharmed.


Secondly, the Freemasons should not know about Rundell's relationship with Liu Xing, so even if the attack fails, it will not make the Freemasons suspect Rundell.


Finally, Liu Xing feels that as long as Rundell makes a move, it will be enough to force Su Ziche's sister to reveal her trump card, so they can know the true situation of Su Ziche's sister.


Liu Xing is really very curious about the true situation of Su Ziche's sister, because "knowing yourself and knowing your enemy, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles." No one wants to fight an entirely unfamiliar enemy, especially one who seems to be very powerful.


Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but contact Rundell.


After Liu Xing told Rundell his idea and the situation of Su Ziche's sister, Rundell replied with some hesitation, "Uh, the target you mentioned, I might know who it is, because I happened to see the target once recently, so the target left a very deep, and not good, impression on me. To be precise, I can feel a strange aura emanating from the target. Although she still looks like an ordinary human, I can be sure that she is no longer an ordinary human, but she is definitely not a mythical creature either."


Liu Xing frowned and said, "Rundell, does that mean Su Ziche's sister is not an ordinary human, nor a mythical creature, so she must be a Wizard?"


After a moment of silence, Rundell said helplessly, "No, no, no, I can be sure that the target is not a Wizard either, because I am very familiar with the aura of Wizards, as I have encountered many Wizards over the years, and the target does not match the characteristics of a Wizard at all. As for what the target really is, I don't know, but I can feel that the target is definitely not simple."


Hearing this, Liu Xing said thoughtfully, "Since Rundell, you say so, I seem to know something... Is there any difference between the feeling the target gives you and our great Yellow King?"


This time, Rundell was silent for even longer.


"Sigh, if I have to say, the target gives me a feeling of a greatly weakened Yellow King. Although her current strength may be about the same as mine, the terrifying aura she emanates makes me dare not act rashly. It gives me a sense of awe, perhaps this is a kind of suppression in terms of hierarchy, just like how I can beat you, Liu Xing, but as long as I don't dare to betray our Byakhee clan and the great Yellow King, I can't act recklessly in front of you, let alone attack you."


This time, Liu Xing was truly surprised, because he didn't expect Rundell's evaluation of Su Ziche's sister to be so high, or rather, so terrifying.


Based on Rundell's words, Liu Xing can now basically confirm that Su Ziche's sister is very likely related to a certain Great Old One and is the "Holy Maiden" of the Freemasons!


Some ancient secret cults have the position of "Holy Maiden" or "Holy Child" within their organizations, which simply means these cults will "borrow" from their worshipped deities.


The most famous and common one is the Deep One Hybrid, and these Deep One Hybrids born to the cult's followers are basically revered as "Holy Children" or "Holy Maidens" by their parents' cults.


Of course, since there are too many Deep One Hybrids, except for those cults that worship the Deep Ones, others basically don't take these "Holy Children" or "Holy Maidens" seriously, after all, their combat power is really not worth mentioning.


The same logic applies to Ghoul Hybrids.


However, some "Holy Children" or "Holy Maidens" are extraordinary, because their parents may be the legendary Great Old Ones or even more powerful Outer Gods.


For example, our great Yog-Sothoth has many offspring on Earth, and these offspring of Yog-Sothoth are undoubtedly the true "Holy Children" to the followers of the Yog-Sothoth cult, and even to heretics like Liu Xing, they are extremely sacred beings!


Because their father Yog-Sothoth is so powerful.


Of course, these "Holy Children" may not have inherited their father's powerful strength, so in the Cthulhu Mythos, there is one "Holy Child" who is embarrassingly weak...


Back to the topic, if a secret cult wants to "borrow" from a Great Old One or Outer God, they usually do so through a Ritual Ceremony or by chanting the corresponding incantation to summon the deity, and then make their request. If the summoned Great Old One or Outer God agrees to the cult's request, they will choose to have a spiritual intercourse with the mother of their "child", as an ordinary human body could never withstand the ravages of a Great Old One or Outer God.


Of course, some Great Old Ones or Outer Gods with humanoid avatars might also take the initiative and choose to use real weapons.


Apart from that, there is also a possibility that a Great Old One or Outer God directly transformed a human infant into their own avatar.


So based on the current situation, Liu Xing believes that Su Ziche's sister is most likely the "Holy Maiden" of the Freemasons, and her father is the Great Old One - Serpent God Yig. Serpent God Yig must have used "divine intercourse" or the latter method to make the twin Su Ziche's sister the "Holy Maiden", while Su Ziche himself is just an ordinary human.


If this is the case, then all the strange things about Su Ziche's sister can be easily explained - as the "Holy Maiden" of the Freemasons, they certainly won't let Su Ziche's sister live in a foreign land, especially when there is a group of vigilant China Dao Sect members watching them; as for the Freemasons possibly using some method to control or possess Su Ziche, it's likely because they are worried that Su Ziche, as a human, may not be able to properly protect their great "Holy Maiden"; and the reason they don't let Su Ziche's sister meet her parents is that, in a sense, she is not the child of Su Ziche's parents.


As for the idea of having Rundell attack Su Ziche's sister, Liu Xing has completely abandoned it now, because Liu Xing knows that if Rundell really goes and attacks Su Ziche's sister, not only Rundell, but Liu Xing as the mastermind behind it might not survive more than three episodes, as it would not only offend the Freemasons, but also provoke the retaliation of the Great Old One - Serpent God Yig.


In any case, Su Ziche's sister is the child of Serpent God Yig.


Moreover, Rundell may not even dare to lay a hand on Su Ziche's sister, because as Rundell just said, Su Ziche's sister has a class-based suppression over it.


In the Cthulhu Mythos, a subordinate cannot kiss their superior.
