Chapter 166: Sacrifice
In the evening, Chen Ning changed into ordinary clothes, left the camp in a low-key manner, and did not return until the second half of the night.
The next day was peaceful, and at about 11 o'clock in the evening, Chen Ning changed into civilian clothes again and came out of the barracks.
The Scarlet Tyrant asked Chen Ning to help it be reborn in Nirvana, on the condition that it found a corpse with blood, and then sacrificed it according to its instructions, and finally it could be resurrected through the corpse.
The corpse Chen Ning had already found a suitable one last night, after all, there were tens of millions of homeless people around Vermilion Bird City, there were homeless campers everywhere, the conditions of homeless camps were bad, the supply of daily necessities was seriously insufficient, and every homeless area was very chaotic, fighting, robbing and killing, there were tragedies staged here every day, and even a silver coin could buy a homeless woman here.
In this kind of place, people die every day, and it is very simple to find a corpse.
There are about 100,000 people living here in each of the displaced areas, and there are nearly 100 displaced areas around Suzaku City, and each district will have a district chief, followed by 10 lizheng, and then there will be a hundred militiamen, who will be responsible for temporarily managing the various displaced areas, maintaining discipline, and preventing the displaced people from causing trouble.
A suitable corpse that Chen Ning found here last night was the corpse of an old man in his sixties.
The old man was an outcast, and he had a granddaughter who had been in exile with him, and had come here not long ago.
His granddaughter has a bit of a look, and was taken by a Li Zheng in this homeless area, and the drunken Li Zheng the night before killed the old man's granddaughter, and finally the old man's granddaughter committed suicide. The old man was indignant and went to the temporary office of the 11th district of the homeless people to find Li Zheng's theory, but the district chief favored Li Zheng, and Li Zheng also beat the old man to death on the spot.
In the end, he casually threw the old man's body into the wilderness.
Power breeds corruption, absolute power breeds absolute corruption, the district chiefs and Li Zheng in these displaced areas were originally homeless, but they were randomly selected to assist the military department in managing the order of the homeless people, and many small people became rampant once they gained power.
This kind of thing for the old man is very common in the camp camps, and the people above can't care about it and don't want to take care of it, as long as the homeless area is not chaotic.
Chen Ning didn't care about such a trivial matter, but when he sacrificed to the Scarlet Tyrant tonight, he needed blood.
So, he went straight to the temporary office in District 11.
Several militiamen at the door of the office saw Chen Ning, although Chen Ning was wearing civilian clothes, but Chen Ning's solemn temperament, as well as his upright standing posture, the military boots worn by Chen Ning's feet, and the standard officer's saber hanging from Chen Ning's waist, made several guards immediately understand that this person was not simple, he was an officer in the imperial army.
"Master Jun, you came to us in the middle of the night, did you have anything to send?"
Chen Ning didn't expect that these gatekeepers still had a little eyesight, and at a glance, he could see that he was an imperial soldier. This also saved him a lot of trouble, and he said lightly: "Let your district chief Du Ming and Lizheng Zhong Feipeng come out to see me." ”
Soon, a bloated man in his forties and a tall and thin man in his thirties came out of the office together, Du Ming was bloated, and Zhong Feipeng was tall and thin.
Du Minghu looked at Chen Ning suspiciously, and asked in a respectful tone, "Who are you, Master Jun?"
Chen Ning casually took out the tiger talisman of the Black Legion, although Du Ming and they didn't know which legion's tiger talisman it was, but they still knew the tiger talisman, and they also knew that the person who had this tiger talisman must be the supreme commander of a certain legion.
In an instant, Du Ming and his group became even more flattering, but they didn't kneel down to lick Chen Ning's shoes.
Chen Ning said expressionlessly: "Du Ming and Zhong Feipeng, you two come with me." ”
Du Ming and Zhong Feipeng were a little stunned, Du Ming couldn't help but accompany him and asked carefully: "Master Jun, is there anything you want the two of us to do, do you want to call a few more people to help?"
Chen Ning said coldly, "You didn't hear what I said clearly?"
Du Ming came down in a cold sweat when he heard this, and hurriedly said that he heard it, and asked Zhong Feipeng to hurry up and follow Chen Ning together, but he felt in his heart that this mysterious military master tonight was very difficult to wait, I don't know what to do with the two of them by name?
Chen Ning took Du Ming and Zhong Feipeng to leave the 11th district of the homeless people at night, and walked farther and farther, and before he knew it, he had been walking for half an hour, Chen Ning seemed to be walking slowly, but in fact he walked very fast, Du Ming and Zhong Feipeng were trotting all the way before they barely kept up.
Finally, both of them were tired, and Zhong Feipeng was a thief, the more he looked at the surrounding environment, the more remote it became, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became, and he suddenly remembered in his heart, isn't this the place where they threw the body of a homeless old man they killed yesterday!
At this time, Du Ming couldn't walk anymore, so he stopped and gasped: "Master Jun, where are you going to take us, aren't you yet?"
"It's here!"
Chen Ning walked to the pile of branches in front of him and removed all the branches on the ground, Du Ming and Zhong Feipeng were horrified to find that there was a corpse lying on the ground in front of them, and the corpse was surrounded by strange Tengtu and formations, which looked like they were going to do some evil sacrifice, which was very scary.
And Zhong Feipeng was even more horrified to find that the corpse of the old man lying in the middle of the Tengtu formation was the old man he killed yesterday.
Du Ming also saw it clearly, and said in a lost voice: "Master Jun, you-"
As soon as Du Ming's words fell, Chen Ning had already pulled out his saber and slashed Du Ming's throat with a brush, instantly staining the ground red with blood.
Zhong Feipeng was so frightened that his face was pale, he turned around and ran, he just ran two steps, poof, the tip of a saber stabbed out of his chest, and he had been stabbed to death by Chen Ning, who had caught up.
Chen Ning followed the instructions of the blood-colored tyrant, burned incense and lit candles, and then poured the blood of the two on the formation teng map, and finally stood in front of the old man's corpse, silently relaxed his spirit, and summoned the blood-colored tyrant: "Bad old man, everything is fine, come out!"
A red-black light shone out from Chen Ning's chest, and it seemed that there was a powerful and evil force that wanted to break free from Chen Ning's body and transfer to the corpse of the old man on the ground.
I saw that the red light from Chen Ning's chest was getting brighter and brighter, and just when this light was about to come out of Chen Ning's body, he suddenly didn't know where to come out of the black cat, this black cat was not afraid of people, I don't know if it was hungry and crazy or what, and suddenly ran to the middle of the sacrificial formation, and rushed to the corpse of the old man on the ground.
At this moment, the black qi on Chen Ning's chest flew out and flew straight towards the corpse of the old man in the middle of the formation, but he was stunned and shot the black cat squatting on the corpse.
The black cat's originally clear and calm eyes suddenly became complex and vivid, and even Chen Ning could see that the eyes of this black cat, like human eyes, could actually show angry emotions, and the old man on the ground was not resurrected.
Chen Ning was stunned: "Scarlet Tyrant, bad old man, why didn't he react, did the sacrifice fail?"
As soon as Chen Ning's words fell, the angry voice of the bloody tyrant's bad old man came from the mouth of the black cat: "This damn cat, where did it come from, oh my God, I'm finished, I'm reborn in a black cat, oh my God, I'm finished, Chen Ning, what did you bastard?"
Chen Ning was also dumbfounded: "What, blood-colored tyrant, you have become a black cat all the time?"
The black cat looked at Chen Ning angrily: "What do you say?"
Chen Ning couldn't cry or laugh: "How do I know that this kind of accident will happen, so what, can I not save it?"
Black Cat: "Are you joking with a sacrifice? Of course there is no way to remedy it! God, my bloody tyrant has become a cat, and my reputation has been ruined." This cat doesn't have a martial vein at all, I have all my strength, and there is no room to play anymore, Chen Ning, you bastard. ”
Chen Ning was dumbfounded: "Then what now?"
The black cat roared, "Use your devouring trick to devour me?"
Chen Ning followed the black cat's instructions and used the devouring technique on the black cat, and the black cat instantly turned into a black gas, which was directly devoured by Chen Ning and entered the body.
Chen Ning's voice came from the voice of the bloody tyrant: "It's okay, it's okay, I can still enter your spiritual world, at least my strength, and I can still use your body as a carrier to exert my power like before." ”
Chen Ning couldn't cry or laugh: "After sparing the feelings, you still have to stay in my spiritual world, can I still borrow your strength?"
"Yes, you can still borrow my powers, but I don't have to stay in your body all the time, because I can come out at any time now. ”
As soon as the blood-colored tyrant's words fell, a black gas shot out from Chen Ning's chest, landed on the ground, and turned into a black cat again.
The black cat looked at Chen Ning: "I can come out of your spiritual world at any time, but when I leave your spiritual world, I will become like this, a useless ...... Waste cat!"
