Chapter 269: The Ritual of the Second Night's Blood
Beneath the mysterious entrance is a long tunnel that can accommodate three people walking side by side, the tunnel seems to be hand-dug and uneven, and the walls are smashed into small holes, and when someone passes by, the flames "poof" ignite in the small holes to illuminate a small area.
Moli walked in front with Keiko, and whenever the lights around her were coldly lit, Keiko would shake her shoulders in fright.
Suddenly, a slender black shadow stretched out in the light, and Keiko let out an exclamation and grabbed Moli's wrist. Mo Li glanced at it and found that it was an ordinary alien snake that spit out a serpentine shape and stood up with its upper body, spit out its tongue with sharp teeth in front of it, and then swam into the depths of darkness.
"Pan?" Mo Li turned around and shouted the boy's name.
"Tsk...... It's troublesome, isn't that a little faster? The red-eyed boy also had a fleshy winged alien snake wrapped around his shoulder, and a huge alien followed behind him with transparent saliva.
To be honest, he looks more like the boss of the final level.
Keiko felt dizzy when she saw a bunch of monsters that she could only see in movies, especially Pandora, who was drooling and looking at her with small eyes with interest, so nervous that she almost held her breath.
The bad taste of your own teammates...... Mo Li could only stuff Keiko's sleeping immortal bird to divert the girl's attention, and the bad taste was more serious than the other, and it was both sick and necrophilic...... The pseudo-mother or something is unexpectedly uncharacteristic in their team.
Xu Xiong, who walked with Su Qidong, also felt pressure, because most of the alien targets ...... It seems to be the taciturn young man next to him.
Several alien snakes and alien dogs hissed threateningly and roamed around, and Su Qidong stared straight ahead as if he hadn't seen it, such a psychological quality could not be compared even to Xu Xiong, who had a military career of more than ten years. And those aliens were full of hostility, but they didn't dare to approach Su Qidong, as long as he looked at the alien, the alien would automatically avoid his gaze.
This road was walked without pressure, and even if it took care of Keiko's speed, it only took less than ten minutes to slowly come to an end. The Xenomorph Snake arrived at the end of the tunnel early and wandered aimlessly, and when it spotted someone coming, it automatically hid in the darkness.
"Unexpected ...... The end. Mo Li was stunned for a long time before he could hold back this sentence, because there was really nothing, as if he had given up before the tunnel was halfway completed, and there was nothing on the ground except gravel.
"Strings between flowers, nothing. Do you want to blast a zone forward? Mo Li kicked the gravel and connected with the flowers, and the second group also entered the tunnel, but their purpose was to explore whether there was a hidden chamber in this monotonous tunnel, so they stuck at the intersection from the beginning and pushed forward a little bit.
"Is there really nothing on the floor or walls?" Hanama asked, "Remove the dirt and rubble." Let Su Qidong wash away with water. If there is nothing, let Keiko shoot with a camera. ”
Mo Li thought that there was also a possibility of this, so he swept away the stones and dust as Hanama said, but he washed the ground and walls with the demon clover, which represents the magic of the water system, and brushed it with the waterfall waterfall. Sure enough, the surface of the wall has changed under the washing of the water, and the surface that was still gray just now has a faint red color under the washing of the water.
"It's the wall." Su Qidong said suddenly, he opened the writing wheel eye and seemed to see something reminding, "There is still a layer of stone on the surface of the wall, remove it." There's something hidden in it with a charm. ”
"Pan, let Pandora knock off the outer layer of stones." Mo Li, who didn't have any tools in his hand, saw the alien licking his claws, and his eyes lit up.
Feeling the demon fox's malicious eyes, Pandora shrank her head humanely, and she couldn't see that her head had been shocked by Tongtong and became an idiot.
Pan saw Pandora wagging her tail in fear, and sneered and kicked it on the door of her head, looking down at the alien who was trampled on the ground by herself. "Idiot, what are you still doing in a daze, wanting to be dismantled by me as fertilizer. Scold. ”
Pandora kicked hard and let out a cry of grievance, and immediately stumbled over like chicken blood, picking up her sharp claws and slashing diagonally towards the wall from top to bottom, and the stones on the wall fell off like plaster one by one, revealing a blood-red slab engraved with characters.
Pandora, who had discovered her target, was even more excited. Crackling like a game, he peeled off all the stones from one wall, revealing a large blood-red wall. This wall is so weird that it can let the red shine through the stone, and Pandora's claws can't leave a trace if they accidentally touch the stone slab, which is probably what the stone door wants to seal on the surface. After revealing the red slate, Pandora seemed to be afraid of the characters, and wagged her tail back to Pan's side and sat down.
"There's a red slab with a lot of incomprehensible charms carved on it, are you coming?" Moli contacted Hanama Xian through the spirit channel, and just after asking, he found that Keiko beside him stepped out and walked towards the stone slab, and the demon fox was startled and saw Keiko's eyes out of focus for a moment......
"Keiko! Su Qidong, can you remove this hypnosis?! Moli pulled out Keiko, who was tempted by the slate, and grabbed her shoulder and tried to shake her awake, but Keiko still maintained the posture of wanting to move towards the slate, if it wasn't for Moli's strength enough to suppress the girl, there would be chaos at this time.
"Don't lift, let go of Keiko and let her go over to trigger the plot." Just as Su Qidong instantly approached Keiko's side and met her eyes, Hanama String stopped her.
Mo Li frowned, "Can you guarantee it 100%?" What if this is a mortal plot?! That slate is wicked. ”
"Captain Moli, do you feel uncomfortable, does Su Qidong feel that everyone has a tendency to hypnosis? If not, let go of Keiko and let her pass, you stand still and don't move, the triggered plot may involve the person who saw the slate, and if it's a battle plot, fight, it's as simple as that. ”
After Mo Li listened, he and Su Qidong had a tacit understanding to let go of Keiko and stand aside to observe, as long as something was wrong, they immediately turned on the seventh sense to freeze time and put down important plot characters. Keiko shook in place, then continued to walk slowly towards the slate and stretched out a hand to touch the slate, and the characters on the slate changed and began to glow.
Keiko's hand eventually pressed against the slate, and the entire slab was activated to emit a dazzling red light, and the entire area was enveloped in red light. Everyone had to close their eyes in the harsh light, and when they opened their eyes again, the sight changed to black and white with a flower screen!
The classic memory playback mode of the Zero series.
Mo Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment he thought that such a mode was either extremely safe or extremely dangerous, because when a person's vision turned black and white, it meant that the important memories before the space was cursed by the resentful spirits began to be played, and the final boss may appear in the memory scene, and ...... Unsolvable, invincible, in the game by the resentful spirit form boss in this mode touched the blood bar immediately to zero!
Now, only Mo Li is left in this memory space, and the others are probably also involved in the same independent space.
"Ding-" The distant sound of bells rang in everyone's ears, and the lights on the sunken walls in the distance of the black and white vision were lit one after another, and many people were vaguely walking in the direction of the stone slabs.
"Ding-" Another bell rang, and a large group of people in Japanese-style ceremonial clothes walked up against the wall, escorting a long-haired woman in a white kimono in the middle.
Her appearance is different from all the resentful spirits that have appeared so far, and she is not the same as the female ghost in the school uniform.
Even though he knew that these were memories, Mo Li leaned to the side, not wanting the people to walk through his body.
The woman in the white kimono walked straight to the stone slab with a blank face, no sorrow or joy, and a mirror hung from her chest.
"Ritual - Begin!" A man dressed differently from the others shouted from standing in front of the stone slab. Everyone gathered the woman in the middle, until there was no one standing in front of the stone slab, and let the woman face the stone slab.
"......" The woman moved her lips but didn't say anything, she touched the mirror on her chest but slowly turned her head to look in Mo Li's direction!
Moli looked around for something worth paying attention to, but she took a step to her side, and the woman's head turned in her direction.
[No...... You're really looking at me, right?! 】
The demon fox suddenly felt creepy, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the woman really saw herself through time and space that she shouldn't have belonged here.
Just as Mo Li wanted to confirm that gaze, the woman turned her head to the stone slab again, she took out a delicate dagger from her sleeve and pulled it out, and then slashed towards her neck!
The knife cut straight through the major artery, and a large amount of blood gushed out and splattered on the stone slab. The slate sucked up the blood like a sponge, sucking up all the blood gushing out of the woman, and the spell on it also glowed like blood.
Seeing the slate sucking the blood, everyone let out an earth-shattering cheer to celebrate the success of the ceremony.
However, the woman who had lost so much blood had long since stopped breathing, but instead of falling, she knelt on the ground, her head bowed, and the blood soaked the clothes on her chest into a bewitching red, along with the mirror.
After confirming the woman's death, the man presiding over the ceremony bent down to remove the mirror on her chest.
A pale hand pressed against the man's hand that touched the mirror, and a spiderweb-like crack appeared on the mirror.
The woman's drooping head suddenly lifted, her unfocused pupils were filled with bloodshots, and a large amount of bloody tears were left in her eye sockets.
The mirror shattered into several pieces, and the man's hand was screaming violently by the woman who had come back from the dead.
The woman staggered to her feet, and the cheering crowd was stunned. After a few seconds of terrifying silence, the ritualists with distorted expressions screamed and tried to rush out, but the stone slab behind the woman glowed a dazzling red, and a large number of pale arms stretched out!
ps:
There is a lot of foreshadowing and the beginning is connected oh meow, this is definitely a more heartwarming story [laughs.]
