Chapter 626: Symbol of the Evil Deity
“When her family comes, pass this card to them. Tell them that Zou Xingxing left it for them. The passcode for the card is six zeros.” Chi Jiao took out a bank card from her bag and handed it to Beitang Lie.
He took it and looked at Chi Jiao with a complicated expression.
He realized that the more he interacted with Chi Jiao, the less he understood her.
She could be soft and gentle, but also cold and merciless.
It was hard to believe that beneath her innocent and adorable facade was such an unfathomable soul.
“By the way, we also found this on Zou Xingxing.” Beitang Lie took out a small transparent bag from the file and handed it to her.
Chi Jiao took it and looked at it. She realized that there was a thin piece of paper in the transparent bag.
A very complicated totem was drawn on the paper.
It looked like the face of a ferocious demon.
One of Zou Xingxing’s memory fragments suddenly flashed across her mind.
She remembered that Zou Xingxing had stolen this piece of paper from She Qi’s diary. However, she died before she could read it.
“Try to investigate this totem’s origin.” Chi Jiao instructed Beitang Lie.
She was very certain that she had never seen such a totem before.
This evil-looking totem gave off a very bad vibe.
Beitang Lie nodded. He took the paper from her and turned to leave the office.
Chi Jiao sat in her office with her eyes closed and waited for him.
After about an hour, Beitang Lie finally returned.
“Boss, I’ve discovered some things.” His expression was a little strange.
Chi Jiao sat down on the sofa and looked at him. “What have you found? Speak.”
“Boss, have you heard of Feng Tong Village?” Beitang Lie asked.
Chi Jiao thought about it and shook her head.
“Just now, I asked my staff to investigate thoroughly. This totem is the symbol of the Evil Deity that the villagers of Feng Tong Village worshiped.” As Beitang Lie spoke, he handed the information inside to Chi Jiao. “This is the information that I’ve compiled. Take a look.”
Chi Jiao took it and read through it seriously.
Feng Tong Village was a small village in a remote mountain area. It was very poor and backward.
As this small village was cut off from the world by a mountain, its geographical environment was rather complicated. It was finally connected to electricity two years ago. There was no signal tower over there, and no phone or computer could receive any reception.
The people living in this village were from a rather mystical tribe called the Shi Ma Tribe.
Chi Jiao had never heard of Feng Tong Village, but she had heard of the Shi Ma Tribe.
The Shi Ma Tribe believed in the Evil Deity, which was a faith created by their ancestors. It was said that if they used the purest blood to worship the Evil Deity, the Deity would protect their entire tribe.
Therefore, in ancient times, the people of the Shi Ma Tribe would choose a girl who had just become an adult among their own people and offer her to the Erosion God as a Holy Maiden.
The duty of the Holy Maiden was to only eat fruits and vegetables every day. No meat was allowed. She also had to let her blood be drawn every week as a sacrifice to the Evil Deity.
No meat, only vegetables, blood drawn once a week. This was what they meant by slowly exhausting people to death.
As a result, Holy Maidens usually did not live more than half a year. Toward the end, they would fall seriously ill as their bodies collapsed.
A gravely-ill Holy Maiden would be treated as possessed by demons. She would be considered tainted and despised by the entire Shi Ma Tribe and chased out of the village.
Typically, Holy Maidens who were chased out of the village wouldn’t be able to walk out beyond the mountain. They would either starve to death or encounter wild beasts in the mountain and become prey for them..
