As Cain stumbled out of the room, beautiful singing grew louder and louder outside. Several gunshots rang out from the first-floor hall; Cain knew it was the sound of Li Feng's revolver.
Cain raised his pistol with hands covered in sweat, blood, and unknown fluids, carefully pushing open the adjacent door. The pain in his palm intensified as he got closer to the door.
At this moment, all the girls from the school were here, along with Xiao Ge and Xiao Mu… the remaining parts of their bodies. They were alive, whether truly or not, with expressions of ecstatic laughter on their faces.
They probably didn't even realize they had been disemboweled, or even transformed into bloody violins and harps… and those fallen cultists were performing their wicked rituals.
Just as Cain watched in stunned silence, Xiao Ge breathed his last. The cultists' throats emitted joyful screams, and they used sharp crab claws to chop off Xiao Ge's head.
Then the "girl" named Christabel… stepped forward. She raised her voice, chanting something different from the other cultists. A breeze blew through, filled with that damned scent, and the hairs on the back of Cain's neck stood on end.
Xiao Mu's body began to rise, transforming and twisting in an inhuman manner, and purple energy erupted into the air.
"Merciful Emperor!" Cain made the Imperial Aquila Salute gesture. He wasn't expecting it to help, but it was more out of habit, and then he prepared to turn and flee… But just as Cain's body was about to take a step… "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"
The "girls" in the room suddenly began to howl in pain, their limbs, those things that did not belong to the human body, spurting blood outwards.
At this instant, Cain seemed to see an invisible ray, emanating from the first floor, enveloping the entire building. As he was covered by the building, the stinging in his palm also began to cease… That power emanating from the first floor seemed to want to change all the things on these girls that were not "normal" back to "normal."
Their original non-human horns were being forcefully pushed out due to the deformation of their skulls… The mutated arms and legs that were not human were undergoing severe fester (ulceration) and disintegration, and black pus and blood immediately flowed all over the ground.
Even the blasphemous markings originally drawn on the floor, which had emitted an evil light, lost their glow and became dim… "Li Feng! Li Feng! Something's wrong! These women…" Cain stumbled down the stairs, weapon held high… And before him, the once beautiful Miss Emily, now missing both hands and feet, was crawling towards the outside with a painful expression, as if wanting to escape some terrifying presence in the hall.
"Please! Whoever it is! Kill me! Kill me!"
Emily wailed on the ground. Cain was still wondering if Miss Emily was also a victim when Li Feng, like a villain, came out with a revolver and a blood-stained catachan dagger.
"Li… Li Feng…"
Li Feng heard Cain's voice from the stairs, turned his head and looked: "Yo, Commissar! Are you alright?"
Cain swallowed and nodded… Li Feng then put away his weapons, as if wanting to be a good person who saves the dying and helps the injured, and helped the blood-soaked, injured Emily from the ground.
"No… No… No… Lord of Pleasure! Slaanesh! Take me away! Just take me away! …Ah ah ah! Why! Why can't I hear anything anymore!"
Emily prayed in a low voice, but no sound replied to her… Li Feng picked her up and carried her on his shoulder, as if carrying the corpse of some prey.
"Commissar, this woman is a Chaos Cultists, captured alive by me!"
Cain's worldview was about to collapse upon seeing Li Feng's actions; he could only nod blankly… Suddenly, Emily on Li Feng's shoulder began to struggle violently… The woman bit her tongue to commit suicide… But biting off her tongue not only failed to kill her but deepened her pain… She fell from Li Feng's shoulder in agony, her broken limbs instinctively trying to protect themselves, and the severed ends directly poked into the floor… Due to the impact with the ground, several stabs Li Feng had initially made to her stomach caused her intestines to spill out from Emily's abdominal wound onto the floor… Li Feng looked at Emily on the ground and said: "Biting one's tongue to commit suicide has no medical or scientific basis."
Li Feng explained, but he found that Emily on the ground was no longer moving, so he placed his hand on her neck and checked for a pulse… Emily was dead. She had initially fallen to the ground, and the pain had led to shock. Now, due to the outpouring of internal organs and massive bleeding, she had died from blood loss, and her death was extremely painful.
At this time, Li Feng did not yet know… In the Warp, Slaanesh's domain suddenly gained a Daemon Prince… The next second, Cain felt a chill down his spine. He looked back, and the entire second-floor corridor was filled with those dismembered girls moaning and crawling in pain on the ground.
Cain jumped down the stairs as if someone had stepped on his tail. Li Feng wondered what was wrong with the Commissar, but when he looked at the stairs, a group of dismembered girls were crawling down… just like Kayako from "The Grudge"… "Bang"
The door was smashed open, and Yugen walked in, carrying a huge heavy bolter: "Commissar! second lieutenant! I've come to save you!"
Then Yugen, as an Untouchable, could never see the terrifying Warp evil… or rather, that terrifying evil couldn't affect him. But when he saw the "ghosts" on the stairs, Yugen was frightened. He instinctively pulled the trigger.
The heavy bolter rounds sent the stairs and all those dismembered fellows flying!
…20 minutes later,
Cain, Li Feng, and Yugen were wrapped in blankets, drinking warm tanna tea… Reinforcements had arrived. Colonel Lao Mo had brought an entire company of men here.
It was raining outside, but no one felt cold, because the Soldiers were carrying flamethrowers and burning the Chaos Cultists' stronghold.
Cain now took the rosary beads from his pocket and returned them to Li Feng… He knew that Li Feng had secretly put them in his pocket, thereby saving his life.
Colonel Lao Mo walked up to the three of them: "The Kharon troops complained to us, saying that our artillery stole their job. However, they just cleared a plague-spreading den nearby."
Saying this, Lao Mo took something out of his pocket, then walked up to Li Feng, removed the second lieutenant insignia from his neck, and replaced it with a Lieutenant rank.
Then he walked up to Yugen. He also wanted to change Yugen's rank, but… seeing that neck full of skin disease… he just handed the Master Sergeant's rank into Yugen's hand.
"Our 12th Valhalla Field Artillery Regiment, because of your five-person operation, paid the price of two sacrifices. But we successfully struck at the arrogance of the traitors and received commendations. And as the Regimental Commander, I declare both of you promoted by one rank."
As Lao Mo left to supervise the Soldiers to ensure everything was burned cleanly, leaving no dust behind, Li Feng subtly nudged Cain twice with his elbow. Cain turned his head in confusion, and Li Feng quietly asked:
"How was it? Freeloading was exciting, wasn't it? Did you enjoy it?"
Cain immediately adopted the demeanor of a gentleman, and at the same time, using the Commissar's authoritative tone, said:
"Ahem, I was fighting traitors! Although the enemy used cunning tricks, I was not swayed in the slightest!"
No sooner had Cain finished speaking than an aircraft appeared above their heads…
