Chapter Forty-Three: The Altar of Sacrifice!
"Be careful, follow me."
The top floor has been blocked, and Zhou Xian has no way to retreat at this time.
"We can't seem to leave?"
Beidou looked at Zhou Xian.
"It's not 'as if,' it's for sure."
After seeing this second sentence of the dragon clan text that appeared in the real world, Zhou Xian already knew that there must be something beyond common sense that appeared in this real world.
And now, this thing must be in this old school building.
"Am I crazy, or is this world crazy ......?"
That's ridiculous.
However, Zhou Xian, who has obtained a strange ability, does not seem to be qualified to talk about this.
"Why do you always feel like this scene is familiar?" It was not Zhou Xian who spoke, but Beidou.
"What do you know?" Hearing Beidou's words, Zhou Xian immediately asked rhetorically.
"Well, I've experienced related missions in the game. I've seen this kind of haunted scene before. Usually at this time, we just turn around and we can see some dark shadows passing by in our field of vision. While speaking, Beidou deliberately put Lian in front of the flashlight.
Zhou Xian subconsciously moved his head away: "Don't be kidding, how can there be in this real world-"
Before the words fell, Zhou Xian seemed to notice that something seemed to flash in the darkness next to him......
ββ¦β¦ Hey, you didn't see anything just now, did you? β
After discovering Zhou Xian's bad look, Beidou finally reined in.
"Probably......"
Zhou Xian couldn't tell what he had just seen.
"So what do we do now?"
ββ¦β¦β
Where did Zhou Xian know what to do now? At this time, the current situation is obviously out of Zhou Xian's control.
"-Wait, you just said and the game...... DΓ©jΓ vu? Zhou Xian suddenly thought of what Beidou had said.
"Ah, yes. I've done a lot of things before, and it's pretty much the same. β
Hearing Beidou's words, Zhou Xian calmed down: "If you say this, you really feel like this." β
Combined with the discussion with Martin Luther King Jr. in the game world, as well as the inexplicable appearance of the dragon text, Zhou Xian had a very bad idea in his heart.
"Could it be that someone here is holding some ritual to summon demons in the game world?"
If that's the case, then the anomalies here all make sense, and in the game, this "haunted" mode is probably because of that. But one thing that puzzled Zhou Xian was: Why do anomalies in the game appear in the real world? But since the dragon script can indeed play a role in the real world, it means that it is not impossible for someone to perform a ritual here. No, it should be said that it is quite possible.
"It's incredible, but that's probably how it is now...... Then, in this school building, there must be an altar. β
Looking at the world outside the dark window, Zhou Xian understood that the best way to do it now was to find the altar and destroy it.
Otherwise, I am afraid that I and Beidou will be trapped in this place. If you're lucky, you'll be able to become food for the other party when the demon is summoned.
"The school building has three floors, and if there is any altar, it should be in the middle of the school building...... In other words, it's about the location on the second floor......"
While talking, Zhou Xian and Beidou finally went down to the second floor. That is, the location of the altar that he had just analyzed.
Beidou blinked and looked at Zhou Xian: "Shall we go and see?" β
"That's all I can do."
Carefully pulling Beidou, Zhou Xian entered the corridor on the second floor.
There was nothing in the hallway, just like when I came here myself. Outside the window on the second floor, there is a surging darkness, not the original view. Something seemed to want to pour in from the darkness, but seemed to be cut off by some kind of being.
"Let's start searching from here to side."
The pitch-black classroom made people panic, and pushing open the old wooden door that creaked, Zhou Xian poked a flashlight into the first classroom.
The tables, chairs and benches inside are neatly arranged, whether on the blackboard or on the ground, they are all clean. It's like it was in the last century. If it weren't for the weird atmosphere around it, this wonderful sense of time and space would have given people a beautiful memory.
ββ¦β¦ It doesn't seem to be here. Zhou Xian vaguely sensed a hint of incongruity, but he couldn't say that something was wrong. After discovering that there was no abnormality in the classroom, Zhou Xian left the classroom with Beidou and headed towards the second classroom.
There are no big windows in the old school building facing the corridor, only two skylights near the top, so before he arrives at a classroom, Zhou Xian has to push the door open, and hearing the creaking sound of the old wooden door in this open place, there is really a feeling of panic.
"Strange ......"
The second classroom, the third classroom, and even after looking at the entire second floor, Zhou Xian still didn't find the location of the altar.
"Ah, there doesn't seem to be an altar in this place, Zhou Xian." Beidou looked boredly at the dark scenery outside the window.
Could it be that I guessed wrong?
Zhou Xian couldn't help but glance out the window as well, and then shone the flashlight on it.
Something seemed to be surging and peeking into the darkness of chaos......
βοΌοΌοΌβ
This feeling that seems to be somewhat similar immediately evokes Zhou Xian's memory!
"Follow me!"
Zhou Xian pulled Beidou to the first classroom he had inspected before. He closed his eyes and felt with his heart.
"Yes, there's the same sense of incongruity here as it is outside the window." The problem must be in this place.
"But there's nothing here, you don't think the altar is hidden in another dimension, do you?" Beidou walked to the front of the podium and knocked on the table of the podium.
"Oops!" She suddenly raised her hand.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Xian walked up.
Beidou looked at the podium in a daze, and then touched it when he felt something was wrong: "It's strange, it's not wood, it's ...... Stone? β
Hearing Beidou's words, Zhou Xian walked over, and then touched the podium as well. This cold touch is indeed a stone. But how can this podium feel like this? And it seems that the shape of this "stone" also does not match the podium itself.
"ββββββ illusion!"
Zhou Xian immediately thought of this.
"Illusion? What to do? Beidou set his sights on Zhou Xian.
"If it's really an illusion in the game, maybe it works......"
Zhou Xian asked Beidou to hold the flashlight, and then bit his finger fiercely, letting the blood flow out of it. He dripped blood on the ground and formed a strange circle.
If there are gamers of their own who appear here, they will definitely know that Zhou Xian is using a kind of evil breaking magic array in the game, although it is not a skill, but as a senior Taoist player, he will come into contact with a lot of such formations.
"βdone."
And almost at the moment when Zhou Xian finished saying this, the entire black classroom seemed to tremble, and the entire classroom seemed to be filled with a terrifying atmosphere!
"Bang bang bang!"
The surrounding scenery continued to collapse, and the world world that Zhou Xian saw in front of him was also changing. Then, after a burst of distortion, the entire room was suddenly filled with blood-like red light, and the original classroom also turned into a pentagram formation, with five altars at each of the five vertices of the pentagram, and this was the original podium, and it also became a corner of the altar of the pentagram!
And almost as soon as he saw this altar, cold sweat flowed down Zhou Xian's face.
"Zhou Xian, if I'm not mistaken, this should be a ...... Sacrificial altar? β
Hearing Beidou's words, Zhou Xian also nodded: "That's right, my previous task also had the task of dealing with this kind of sacrificial altar. β
The so-called sacrificial altar is an altar that uses something as a prop to please the gods, Buddhas or evil demons, so as to obtain strength from those strong people. The gods and Buddhas are easy to talk to, and sometimes even a sheep or a pig can let the gods protect one side. But demons are different, and to summon demons in this way, they must perform all kinds of strange rituals, such as sacrificing blood, and even human lives.
"It seems that this altar has been placed here for a short time, and I don't know who is doing such a thing."
Who could it be?
The scenes of the past flipped in Zhou Xian's mind.
"Heaven Swallowing Society!"
The name of this society suddenly appeared in Zhou Xian's mind.
"βyes, I was able to guess this step. Zhou Xian, you're pretty remarkable. β
Suddenly, a figure clapped his hands and walked in from outside, and this person was the missing Lizheng.
At this time, Lizheng's clothes were very peculiar, he was not wearing ordinary people's clothes, but wearing a robe like the one in the game, and he was still holding a staff in his hand, which was exactly the appearance of a mage in the game.
Zhou Xian protected Beidou behind him, and then looked at Lizheng: "The actions of the Heaven Swallowing Society are too big, even if you want to win the championship of the game by any means, and plot all the main forces of the seed team, this kind of despicable behavior will only make people suspicious." β
Li Zheng clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Not bad, Zhou Xian, you can actually think of this." That's right, Ying Tianlong's brain is not very good, I just encouraged him a little. And my goal is to stir up emotions in the audience, to make them suspicious, angry and antagonistic. These negative emotions are all good materials for sacrifices, haha!!ha β
Zhou Xian was already completely aware of the previous matter. The puzzles of the past are also solved in this moment.
But Zhou Xian didn't feel relaxed, because at this time, Zhou Xian suddenly found that there was a light blue film on Lizheng's body. This is clearly a shield skill that only mages in the game can use!
