Chapter 66: The Gears of Fate
"Click."
It was like a very rusty gear suddenly turning.
Suddenly a very short voice came from the golden gate.
Then, very suddenly, something was spat out of the door.
John covered his blood-gushing chest with his left hand and reached out with great difficulty to grasp the thing.
He finally caught it.
But until he took his last breath, it didn't make any difference to him.
……
Everyone in the scene watched the episode happen, but no one did anything.
It's like they're watching a stage play, and their eyes are full of the usual indifference.
In the eyes of the aristocracy, John's actions were typical of betrayal, and the bourgeoisie was very merciful in giving him a chance to start over, but John failed to take the opportunity - he did not immediately admit his mistake, but mistakenly believed that his master had allowed him to choose one of the five boxes to sacrifice to God.
So the bourgeoisie didn't hesitate anymore and stabbed him to death with a sword.
……
After that, the bourgeoisie put his sword back into its sheath and stepped forward to pick up the thing that had been spit out of the golden gate from the ground.
At this time, many people in the audience really saw the appearance of that kind of thing clearly.
It wasn't a curiose, it was just a black stone.
"Ridiculous, this is the fate you are trying to change?"
The bourgeoisie looked at the stone and threw it off the platform.
A white-robed man approached and dragged John's body away.
The feast continued.
The bourgeoisie moved the remaining four antiquities, and then dismantled them one by one and sent them into the golden gate.
For every antiquity offered, something spit out from the door.
The antiquities he offered were not invaluable, but even if he offered all the antiquities, he only received four stones from the golden gate.
Four stones of different colors, sizes, and weights.
"Failed again?"
The bourgeoisie held the four stones, his face was unwilling, and his mind was in a trance,
"It seems that this gentleman is not favored by the god of history."
Elder Gosen's voice came clearly, making the bourgeois recognize reality again.
Even if he was unwilling, he didn't dare to attack in this hall, so he had to bow his head and turn around, ready to step down.
……
However, the moment he turned around, several tentacles emitting a strong golden light suddenly drilled out of the golden gate, wrapping his limbs around in an instant, and violently dragging him towards the golden gate!
"Whew!"
He was suddenly attacked and wanted to scream, but his mouth was immediately gagged by a tentacle, and he could only let out a painful whimper.
After a few breaths, he was dragged through the golden door.
The clocks and gears that make up the gate are still ticking.
But it couldn't hide the creepy chewing sound coming from inside the door.
……
If the death of John, the servant of the Fang Cai, was not taken seriously, then the death of this bourgeoisie completely touched the nerves of everyone in the audience.
In an instant, the emotion called "panic" quickly spread.
The crowd in the audience, who had been quietly watching, instantly became noisy.
"What's going on?"
"Isn't it God behind the door?"
"What are those tentacles?"
"What the hell is wrong with Mr. Hausman?"
"It didn't happen last time!"
……
"Don't be impatient!"
Elder Gosen suddenly exclaimed, "It seems that God did not like the stage play that gentleman performed under his nose, so he punished him. ”
……
A bald man stood up abruptly and retorted angrily: "What punishment? How did we never know? ”
Elder Gosen glanced at him, but suddenly raised his scepter and pointed it at him.
The six flame goblins flew over and circled around the bald man, and in an instant he was frightened.
Elder Gosen said indifferently, "Only by getting close to God can we understand God." It seems that this gentleman is very curious about the will of the gods, Rui Ming, Rui Li, bring him up. ”
Under the coercion of the six flame goblins, the bald guy didn't dare to resist at all.
The two white-robed men walked straight through the crowd and escorted the bald guy onto the high platform in everyone's sight.
The bald guy barely stood up, trembling all over.
Elder Gosen turned to face him, "Have you ever received a favor from God?" ”
The bald guy was afraid: "No, I failed last time......"
Elder Gosen continued, "Then did you bring ancient relics today? ”
The bald guy hurriedly said, "Yes." ”
Elder Gosen said, "Go, pay your respects to God." ”
The bald guy didn't dare to disobey, and hurriedly shouted to the audience: "Jim, bring me what I prepared." ”
The servant Jim, though reluctant, walked up to the high platform with a pile of boxes in his arms.
The bald guy shuddered and picked up a box and opened it, took out a string of beads from it, and stumbled to the door and threw the beads far in!
He didn't dare to get too close, for fear of falling into the fate of the previous bourgeoisie.
……
At the same time, Su Xian in the audience suddenly looked stunned and spoke out in surprise.
Professor Buck whispered, "What? ”
Su Xian shook his head and said, "It's nothing." ”
He's nothing, what's the bald guy on stage.
Because the string of beads he had just thrown out was the same bead that Su Xian had sold to Mr. Nigu the night before.
As for how the bead got into the bald guy's hands, only the devil knows......
In short, this bead is only twenty years old, and it is not an ancient relic of sufficient value at all.
……
However, what Su Xian was worried about did not happen, and even unexpectedly, after swallowing the string of beads, the golden gate actually spit out a glowing orb!
The bald guy stood there, stunned.
It was the servant beside him who reminded him that he hurriedly went up to pick up the orb, and his face was ecstatic: "It's successful!" I did it! Is this the gift of history? I am God's favored man! ”
Seeing this, Elder Gosen nodded in satisfaction, and then said in a loud voice, "You have seen it with your own eyes, as long as you have respect for God, it will not punish you. If you are favored by God, you will receive what God has given you! ”
Actions speak louder than words.
Interests drive out reason.
No one protested in the audience, and the dinner continued.
After the bald man, one after another, bold people came up to the high platform and offered sacrifices to the "god".
Each of these offerings is an antiquity that is at least a hundred years old and is worth a lot of money.
The Golden Gate, after swallowing the sacrifice, spits out the item every time.
Ninety-nine percent of those items are waste, and none of the things that can be obtained from God are saved!
The people who went to the banquet all came with a large number of antiquities, and some even brought more than a dozen pieces, just to fight for the probability of one percent.
Those who receive God's gift are ecstatic.
Those who did not receive the God's gift were depressed, thinking that they would be able to obtain more ancient relics before the next feast.
The golden gate was like a big mouth, frantically devouring centuries-old antiquities.
Seeing that more and more people had sacrificed, the few people at the same table with Su Xian gradually couldn't hold back.
Alice suddenly approached and whispered to him, "You promised to protect Mars!" ”
