Please Stop Summoning Me!

Chapter 32: Disputes

Once again, the Order of Chaos Remnant prepared the sacrifice for the Great Lord of Ashes.

The villa that summoned the Lord of Ashes for the second time was no longer available.

The commotion caused at that time was too great, and because of the huge impact, the Anti-Magic Bureau investigator found the villa and completely sealed it off. And questioned the nearby living beings to try to track down the people who had been to the villa, but the congregants had cloaked themselves in the intangible work of a high priest, so no one or equipment was able to find it.

The only breakthrough was the picture of Aina walking down the street.

So far, the pictures have not yielded any useful information.

July 5, 23:00.

Across the south bank of the Taiwu River, in the suburbs of West Beland outskirts, there was a spacious detached villa.

Aina had been living here since the second summoning, and also at the Chaos Remnant Order base for the last two months.

At the end of the villas third floor, there was a solemn and elegant deep red bedroom.

Sitting on the dark red bed Aina recalled her past self.

The past few months were a dream for her which was thrilling beyond anything shed ever experienced, and it was something she could never have imagined six months ago.

The worshipers were preparing for tonights ritual downstairs in an orderly manner.

Although Aina decided to preside over the rituals, she had no idea of anything but the last step of offering, which had to be done by a more professional high priest.

This was the third time to usher in the sacrifice of the extraterrestrial gods, the first two events were vivid in her memory.

And this time she was the one who was going to preside, thinking of this she felt nervous. At that time, she impulsively shouted that she was going to preside over the sacrifice, and the surrounding believers were all surprised. After the shock, the high priest unexpectedly did not refuse her request.

Once again, peoples eyes turned to her in the past two days.

It was not just respect and fear, but they seemed to be trying to guess her intentions and trying to please her.

She clasped her hands together and buried her face in it, she needed the help of the great Lord of Ashes to change the Order and the situation of the children.

~Was I being too selfish and relying on the power of extraterrestrial gods for everything?

Once again, she thought of the mysterious messenger in the cafe who had told herself that she could do whatever she wanted.

I was chosen. She breathed deeply and cheered herself up.

The red brand on her back hadnt warmed up since she returned from the cafe, but deep down she could feel a foolish desire to go to the cafe again.

As if a mysterious substance kept drawing her and keeping her little heart-stirring.

She shook her head and stopped thinking about it. She slowly got up from her bed, opened the bedroom door, stepped into the hallway, and then stepped down the stairs.

As she walked up the stairs to the second floor, her gaze wandered over to the first floor lobby.

People were whispering in the hall, there was excitement and uneasiness in the atmosphere, excitement because of tonights sacrifice, and uneasiness from the Quiet Word.

Recently, many cult members were killed suddenly, but they couldnt even find a single person. The members of Silent Words were very well hidden.

Standing in the center of the hall, the senile high priest sensed her arrival first, raised his head, and beckoned her.

Come here.

Some people want to see you.

She was stunned for a moment but walked from the stairs to the high priest, who waved to the three men in black robes.

Aina nodded lightly, looking at the two men and a woman in front of her with curiosity.

It was not clear if it was an illusion or not, she always felt that she had seen two people on the left and right in the newspaper or on television, but she couldnt remember exactly who they were.

But even the two people standing on either side seemed to be very much in awe of the old man in the middle, except that Aina couldnt imagine what this old mans identity really was.

If it had been a few months ago, she would have never seen them in real life.

The high priest explained. Some wise people have renounced their past and joined the Order in the last two months, and these three are the most generous of them.

The hawk-nosed old man in the middle had his hands behind his back and habitually looked down at Aina with emotionless eyes as if he was sizing up a small grass flying in the wind, estimating how much she was really worth.

Is this the girl favored by God? She doesnt look any different.

Aina was taken aback by his comment, and before she could open her mouth, the high priest spoke up, his tone as calm and hoarse as ever.

Watch your tone, mortal.

Even if you are noble in the false superficial world, but in the real world, you fools are like dust in front of the great Him, and taking one wrong step will lead to destruction.

The hawk-nosed old man was silent, and even those who lived in the palace had not endangered him outright.

But he agreed that what the other man said was right, and since he wanted to move beyond mortal death and try to step into a higher realm, he had to build up from the ground up.

Thankfully, Epiworlds strengths allowed him to remain a part of the world, rather than starting from scratch.

The old man took the lead and knelt down and soon all three were on their knees and bowed their heads in front of Aina as if they were waiting for something to happen.

The high priest whispered in Ainas ear. Touch their heads gently with your hands.

She was dumbfounded but still did so immediately as she was told, touching the heads of the three adults with her hands in turn.

She felt very uncomfortable.

It was her first time doing it.

Rather than being pleased with their kneeling, she felt her chest growing tighter and tighter.

In the first ritual, she longed for the future, and in the second, she had gained relative freedom.

But this was not the life she had imagined; everyone here was abnormal.

Rotting, mixed, oil-filled desires wafted through this vast, cramped villa, and Aina felt a sense of breathlessness every moment she stayed.

However, the high priest was very pleased with himself, after all, the last sacrifice was personally presided over by him, which should be considered his merit.

Perhaps, the Order would be revived in his own hands.

After the trio left, Aina took the initiative to walk up to the high priest.

The High Priest

The high priest looked at her with delight and asked, Yeah, what happened, Aina? Well, you did a good job. Do you want some kind of reward?

She could also see that the high priest was in high spirits, his ideals had made great progress over the years, which made him feel very content.

The priestess squinted his eyes and continued with a gleam: I can give you whatever you want, toys, pets, or friends? Oh, youre so lucky to be a beloved girl by God.

I want to change the Order. Aina said without hesitation.

Being caught by the unexpected request, he squinted his eyes and asked solemnly.

Huh? What did you say? Repeat it.

Even though she was a little scared, she still repeated it in a serious tone.

I want to change the Chaos Remnant Order, which I always find very wrong, where everyone was just doing it for profit.

Instead of speaking immediately, the High Priest calmly stared into Ainas eyes.

Most people get scared just by the look in his eyes, but Aina gathered her courage and never lowered her head.

Oh, the childrens words The High Priest had heard it many times before, and he didnt pay much attention, but just wanted to muddle through as he always did.

He shook his head and said, Its still too early for you to think about these things, dont worry, in a few years, the whole Order will be under your leadership.

At the present, I am only acting as a servant of the Great One, temporarily holding His influence in the world in your place.

Aina retorted: No, I want to change the order from now on, at least I want to liberate the orphanage children.

The high priest said plainly: You want to liberate them? But they have food and drink in the orphanage, and what do they need to liberate? How will they live if they leave the orphanage? Will it expose other members of the sect? Have you considered this?

He persuaded as gently as possible: You are still too young, it is normal to think that things are not comprehensive, and you do not understand how the world works at all, and many things are not as simple as you think.

Aina nodded gently and said, Youre right, Im too young to change the Order any time soon, but I will try to change it in a year, two years, three years, even a ten years. 

The high priest was slightly stunned by the little girls determined eyes and her tone were quite firm, with a kind of seriousness and calmness from the bottom of her heart.

Somehow, in all these centuries, he had not felt as if his beloved thing was being taken from him as he did now.

Furthermore, the high priest was well aware that he wouldnt be able to kill or imprison her.

Because the gods favored her, she was emboldened.

Eventually, the Order of Chaos Remnant might really be changed completely.

Suddenly he was in a strange rage.

But his words remained steady and calm, despite his rage.

Aina, dont be too hasty in denying the present moment, when I joined the Order there was still slavishness in the world. I have been in the Order for three hundred years and seen things much farther than you have thought.

He spoke with great care on the surface, but he became increasingly dissatisfied.

~What do you know? Ive lived 300 years and more! Those extra bits are longer than your short, pathetic little life!

The anger inside the high priest was about to overflow, just like the turbid water in the cup that was close to boiling.
