Chapter 30: After the Failure of the Ritual
In the afternoon, the imperial city, the small sacrificial platform of Liu Bang's dormitory.
Concubine Ying had already died because of excessive blood loss. The mysterious pattern that had been activated on the ground had also been restored to its original state, and it seemed that nothing had changed except for a cold corpse on the side, and the sky turned red.
The reaction of the so-called "royal blood" is like a flash in the pan, coming and going without a trace.
"Did it succeed?" Liu Bang asked when he saw that everything was back to normal.
Black put away his doppelganger and replied flatly, "Well, everything is ready. ”
"Okay, what should we do next?" Liu Bang said with a slightly questioning tone, "Since the blood of the royal family has played a role, do we need to take any further measures?"
"Take a break for the time being, because this spell cast, my vitality has been damaged a lot, and it will take a certain amount of time to recover. Black made excuses to prevaricate Liu Bang.
There is no doubt that the black ritual of worshipping the heavens failed, and the huge impact caused by an external force caused the "blood of the royal family" that was supposed to be transmitted to the "heavens" to be washed away.
As an extremely strict form of sacrifice, if a link goes wrong, it will naturally be wasted. There is simply no such thing as an ineffective or half-finished sacrifice.
However, Black's original purpose in performing this ritual was not to help Liu Bang, but to help himself. Because Black has already seen what will happen in the future through the prophecy, however, Black just wants to use the blood of the royal family to strengthen himself to deal with this catastrophe.
If the sacrifice is successful according to the normal plan, Black will gain the powerful power contained in the "Royal Blood", and he will become several times stronger than he is now. Subsequently, with the help of Liu Bang, he will get help from other ways to make the strong stronger, and after resisting this catastrophe, Black will become a true and worthy king after the end of the world.
Now that the ritual has failed, Black can only carry out a backup plan, skipping the blood of the royal family and going straight to the blood of the real dragon.
As for Liu Bang, he is not stupid or stupid, and he has already seen the cattiness. Although Liu Bang himself had never performed such a strange sacrificial ritual before, Liu Bang liked to listen to stories since he was a child, and he also heard a lot of all kinds of strange stories.
Most of the rituals of the sacrifice are similar, but the items of sacrifice are different, and if the sacrifice is successful, there will definitely be a certain reaction. For example, if you pray for rain from the heavens, if you succeed, it will naturally start to rain. If you ask the heavens to grant your wishes, and if the ritual is effective, your wishes will come true.
If Liu Bang's guess is correct, it must be because of the huge explosion just now, because, until Liu Bang left, the sky was still as red as blood.
Black lied, which means that Black will take other actions, and when Liu Bang asked, he was just testing Black's attitude. Black truthfully confessed, proving that Black was barely loyal to Liu Bang, at least in the same camp as Liu Bang. But Black lied, which just confirmed Black's rebellion.
"It seems that my worries are not unfounded. Liu Bang came to Xue Chi's laboratory when he was sure that no one was following him, "My Endless Fire can just come in handy. ”
After thousands of calculations, Liu Bang is still at a low point. After Liu Bang entered Xue Chi's laboratory, a dazzling black color appeared in the gap in the floor outside the laboratory, and the black flow followed Liu Bang into Xue Chi's laboratory.
"I have to say, what you made works. Liu Bang looked at Xue Chi with an approving gaze.
Xue Chi didn't dare to be too proud, and hurriedly responded politely, "Thank you for the emperor's compliment, it's my honor to serve you." ”
"Good. Liu Bang glanced at the laboratory next to him, "It's time to move the big killer out." ”
"I know I shouldn't ask, but I still have to ask, if you take everything out, the damage will be devastating. Xue Chi frowned and asked. In addition to scientific research, Xue Chi didn't care too much about other people and things, but now that Liu Bang wanted to use all the endless fire at once, Xue Chi was a little hesitant.
We often hear the saying, "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground." "And what Xue Chi and Liu Bang want to do now is to pick up the butcher's knife, and it is a terrifying weapon that can slaughter tens of millions of people.
"Since you know that you shouldn't ask, then I won't answer your question, and the less you know, the better it will be for you. Liu Bang didn't want to explain too much to Xue Chi, "After that, someone will be arranged to take you to put your things in the designated place." ”
"Good...... Good. Xue Chi nodded, not daring to say anything more that caused Liu Bang's displeasure.
"Liu Bang, Liu Bang, I really didn't think that this place would become your burial place. The black liquid came out of the floor and transformed into a black appearance, and after it was formed, the black twisted his neck, and then turned his head to look at Liu Bang.
"You, why are you here?" Liu Bang's eyes were stunned, he didn't expect that black would have this kind of operation at all, "What do you want to do?"
"Knowingly asked. The black "giggle" laugh, no matter what time or occasion, this kind of laughter will always make people feel very uncomfortable.
"So, the sacrifice failed, right?" Liu Bang said, moving his pace slightly, trying to get closer to the cellar where the Endless Fire was.
"Yes, now that you can see it, I won't hide anything anymore. Black slowly approached Liu Bang.
Seeing Liu Bang's actions, Xue Chi understood. While the black attention was all on Liu Bang, Xue Chi picked up a half-finished product of an explosive on the table.
Xue Chi aimed at black, and Liu Bang saw Xue Chi's small movements, and the nerves in his body tensed. Xue Chi smashed the half-finished explosives into the black, and Xue Chi and Liu Bang quickly dodged to the side.
"Boom!" Although it is a semi-finished product, although it is only the size of a palm, the impact is amazing. After the explosion, there was a slight shaking of the entire laboratory.
Liu Bang took the opportunity to run to the location of the cellar to prepare for a counterattack. Three thousand copies of Endless Fire, no matter how powerful the black is, there is no reason to be able to withstand such a number of Endless Fire.
Although the explosion had a lot of impact, it did not cause any substantial damage to the black, the black was so angry that he grabbed a dagger on the table, stepped forward in two steps, and stabbed into Xue Chi's abdomen, and was afraid that it would not be enjoyable, and he also made a horizontal stroke on the stomach, and then went to chase Liu Bang.
Liu Bang panted and ran to the door of the cellar, the door of the cellar was simply plugged with a wooden stopper, and it only took a simple pull to open the door of the cellar.
When Liu Bang was about to open the door, a hand appeared from the ground and grabbed Liu Bang's ankle, and then, black appeared in front of Liu Bang in an extremely distorted posture.
Black retracted his arm and directly choked Liu Bang's neck, Liu Bang kept making a "uh-uh-uh" sound because he was about to suffocate, like he was crying for help, and he was also like spitting fragrant words of death.
"Listening to your conversation, it seems that you have prepared some extremely lethal weapons. "However, before you die, it is a good idea to let you see your hard work destroyed." ”
Black let go of his hand, Liu Bang knelt on the ground, gasping for breath, "What is the purpose of you doing all this? First you killed two people, and now you want my life, what kind of calculation do you have?"
"The one who will die is great, and I will tell you. Black stretched out his hand and rubbed Liu Bang's head, "Originally, I wanted to use the power of the royal blood to strengthen myself, but now that the sacrificial ceremony has failed, I can only take a backup plan and replace the royal blood with the blood of the true dragon." ”
"In that case, then why didn't you kill me at the beginning?" Liu Bang felt a little different, because after breathing for a while, Liu Bang's state basically returned to normal, but he still maintained a half-kneeling posture on the ground.
"That's a good question. The black "giggled" and dragged Liu Bang's arm with one hand, seemingly helping Liu Bang get up, but it was actually full of threat, "Liu Bang, you are a smart person, in your opinion, what is the reason why I kept you before?"
"What?" asked Liu Bang.
Black snorted, "Don't worry, I'll tell you when I destroy your so-called big killer." ”
As he spoke, Black grabbed the doorknob of the cellar with one hand, and did not follow the normal procedure, but directly pulled the small wooden door off and threw it aside.
In just a moment, the black covered his arms in front of him, and the black flames on his body began to emit at a speed visible to the naked eye, but they were not ignited, as if they were gradually evaporating out of thin air, causing the black to continue to decrease.
"Endless Fire...... "Black cries out in pain, "how could you possibly have Endless Fire." ”
Seeing the scene in front of him, Liu Bang instantly turned defeat into victory, and kicked the black to the ground with one kick, "You said it yourself, this is a big killer, now you know what a big killer is, right?"
Black slumped on the ground, huddled in a ball, and in less than a minute, it had become almost half the size of its previous size.
"I ...... I ......" uttered his last words as the black exhausted the last black mist that wrapped around him: "I will not let you go." ”
Liu Bang sat on the ground, looking at the endless fire in the cellar beside him, Liu Bang smiled, the smile became more and more exaggerated, and the opening of his mouth was completely beyond the scope of common sense.
After a burst of laughter, Liu Bang got up, patted the cellar wall, and nodded in satisfaction.
"It doesn't matter if you're covered in ice and snow, or frozen for thousands of miles. Liu Bang muttered to himself.
"It's a big deal, a song of ice and fire. ”
