Chapter 2338: Violent Toxicity
Chapter 2338: Violent Toxicity
Zuo Jue slowly opened his palm with a smile on his face. The severed finger lay quietly in his palm, as if telling the tragic scene that had just happened.
Zhao Rou stared at the severed finger, an indescribable emotion welling up in her heart, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
"Sister, with this severed finger and the unique methods of voodoo, we should be able to confirm the identity of this young man."
Zuo Jue spoke cautiously, with a barely perceptible hint of nervousness in his voice.
Zhao Rou was silent for a moment, and finally spoke slowly.
"Well, I hope so. But Junior Brother, you were too reckless just now. You even destroyed the young man's body. What if this severed finger cannot provide enough clues to prove..."
Upon hearing this, Zuo Jue showed a bit of embarrassment on his face. He scratched his head and quickly explained.
"Sister, I was impulsive at the time and didn't think too much about it. But now that things have come to this, it's too late to regret. I can only take it one step at a time."
Zhao Rou looked at Zuo Jue's sincere expression, and the blame in her heart eased a little, but she still couldn't help but sigh and said earnestly.
"Junior brother, don't be so impulsive in the future. You need to be more careful in everything you do. Don't act rashly like you did today."
Zuo Jue nodded repeatedly and responded.
"Yes, yes, Senior Sister is right. I will definitely keep it in mind and will never make the same mistake again."
He paused and added.
"Next time I take action, I will definitely leave an intact body in case of emergency."
When Zhao Rou heard this, the expression on her face became a little strange. She looked at Zuo Jue, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
Did this guy listen to me? He seemed to be planning to continue doing this.
However, Zhao Rou did not want to dwell too much on this issue. After all, although Zuo Jue sometimes acted impulsively, he was not a bad person by nature.
She waved her hand and said.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Now that we have the severed finger, we should hurry to the Voodoo Cult. I hope we can find some useful clues from it."
After saying that, Zhao Rou carefully put away the half of the severed finger, and then left the brothel with Zuo Jue and Ye Changqing.
Zhao Rou went to the Voodoo Cult alone, while Ye Changqing decided to wait in the city for a while.
Only after Zhao Rou safely joined the Voodoo Cult could Ye Changqing continue to rush to the Voodoo Palace with peace of mind.
The distance between Voodoo Cult and Miaogu Fairy City is not far. After leaving the city, with Zhao Rou's speed, it would take less than an hour to reach the destination.
And with Mr. Huang's profound cultivation, it would be like lightning, and he could reach the destination in the blink of an eye.
Therefore, Ye Changqing chose to stay in the city, so that if Zhao Rou encountered any danger on the way, he would be able to rescue her in time.
After all, Zhao Rou was alone and it was inevitable that she would encounter some unexpected situations during the period.
After a night of galloping, Zhao Rou finally arrived at Voodoo Cult.
She submitted the task of the sect entrance examination according to the prescribed procedures.
However, when a voodoo elder took the half finger that Zhao Rou handed over, his expression suddenly became very strange, and he was visibly stunned.
The elder slowly raised his head, stared at Zhao Rou with suspicion, and questioned in a strange tone.
"What are you doing?"
Obviously, he was very confused about the half finger Zhao Rou handed over, and had no idea what her intention was.
After all, according to normal assessment requirements, a complete body should be submitted, not just a piece of finger.
Faced with the elder's doubtful questions, Zhao Rou's heart was filled with contradictions and uneasiness.
Her voice was a little weak, as if she couldn't believe what she said.
"This is the target's finger."
The elder frowned, obviously not satisfied with the answer, and he asked further.
"Is this the only half of the finger left? What about the rest of the body?"
Zhao Rou's heartbeat quickened. She took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice calm.
"Replying to the elder, when we were operating, I was worried that something unexpected might happen, so I took the initiative to add some ingredients to the poison. But who could have imagined that the poison was so toxic that the target person was successfully killed by the poison, but his body was also completely melted by the poison. This half finger was snatched away by me in time."
After listening to Zhao Rou's explanation, the elder was silent for a moment.
He thought to himself that this poison, which was so toxic that it could even melt a corpse, seemed a little extraordinary.
However, there were no obvious flaws in Zhao Rou's explanation, and with his means, he could indeed determine the identity of the target person based on just this half finger.
Despite this, the elder still had doubts in his heart. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.
Seeing the elder lost in thought, Zhao Rou felt a little uneasy. She knew that what she brought back was only half a finger, which might not meet the regulations, but she really didn't want to give up this opportunity to enter the sect.
After hesitating for a long time, Zhao Rou gritted her teeth and decided to bite the bullet and plead with the elders.
"Elder, if it does not meet the requirements, I am willing to take part in the sect entrance examination again."
Zhao Rou mustered up the courage to speak, her voice was not loud but extremely firm.
The elder was a little surprised when he heard Zhao Rou's words. He was still thinking about how to deal with this situation, but he didn't expect Zhao Rou to take the initiative to take another test.
According to common sense, Zhao Rou did complete the task, but she did not bring back the body, only half a finger.
This put the elder in a difficult position, after all, this situation had never happened before.
The elder was silent for a while, as if weighing the pros and cons. Zhao Rou looked at him nervously, praying silently in her heart.
Finally, the elder spoke slowly.
"This……"
There was a hint of hesitation in his words, and Zhao Rou's heart was in suspense.
However, the elder's next words made her feel relieved.
“Forget it. This is indeed the severed finger of the target person, and there is indeed no hope of life. Since you were able to kill the other party, the sect entrance examination is naturally completed. There is no need for another examination and you can enter the sect.” The elder finally made a decision.
Zhao Rou felt relieved after hearing this. She breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterwards, Zhao Rou followed the sect admission procedure, received the sect disciple token, registered, and was assigned a cave residence, as well as the daily clothing, elixirs, and other things that a Voodoo Cult disciple would need.
It was not that complicated and was completed smoothly. Zhao Rou also officially became an ordinary disciple of Voodoo Cult, of course, using a pseudonym and a fake identity.
After successfully converting to Voodoo, Zhao Rou entered her own cave and immediately informed Ye Changqing of the news, telling him not to worry, as everything was going well with her.
