Chapter 4: The Altar of Blood
"Hum" A small phone vibrates, and the warm white light on the screen disappears into the darkness. "Poof" A small flame rose from the darkness, flickering and flickering. Chen Lingfeng threw aside the dead mobile phone in his hand and carefully lifted a can of solid fuel that had been lit.
"This is our last phone." Mo Xiaoli looked at the mobile phone thrown out and said.
Chen Lingfeng nodded silently, two days have passed, four days have passed, a week has passed, they have struggled to survive a week in the dark relying on the faint light emitted by their mobile phones, there is not much water and food left, but in addition to the darkness and dead silence around, they have not waited for the sound of the rescue team they are looking forward to, and their bodies and spirits have reached the critical point of collapse.
"We can't wait here any longer, staying here will only sit still, and we have three days of food and water left, and we can only go in that direction while we still have the strength to do so." Chen Lingfeng stood up and looked in the direction of the carriage and said.
"But isn't Lin Ge over there? And what if the rescue team arrives after we're gone? Mo Xiaoli asked with some hesitation.
"Rescue team? What rescue team is there! There has been such a big accident for a week, and the rescue team has not arrived, which only means that the accident is too serious, or... Or they didn't send rescue at all, and they had already judged that all the people here were dead......" Chen Lingfeng didn't say any more, he knew that Mo Xiaoli also knew that the rescue team would probably not come, but she was unwilling to give up the last shred of hope, and still believed in the illusory possibility, but this stubborn self-deception had been shattered by Chen Lingfeng's demolition at this moment, and the air fell silent again.
"I'm sorry... Xiaoli" After a long time, Chen Lingfeng raised his head and looked at Mo Xiaoli, and said with a sincere look in his eyes.
"I know, it's just... It's just..."Mo Xiaoli stretched out his hands and held Chen Lingfeng's hand in the palm of his hand, and a warm and soft touch came from the palm of his hand, making Chen Lingfeng forget everything around him in an instant.
"Let's go." For a moment, Mo Xiaoli raised her head and showed a faint smile on her face.
The two of them packed up what little supplies they had left, and stacked their clothes and rocks with an arrow pointing in the direction they were going, so that the rescue team could find their mark if they arrived. In order to prevent possible dangers, the two took out two more knives from their backpacks and held them in their hands, and after they were ready, the two began to walk in the direction of the carriage.
The way back was smooth, and there was no more attack from Lin Ge, and soon the two returned to the carriage they were in. Chen Lingfeng raised the solid fuel in his hand and looked close to the carriage, there was no change in the carriage, it was still like a hellish scene, but he soon noticed a slight difference, the corpses in the carriage became fewer, at least Hou Chujie's corpse was indeed gone.
Chen Lingfeng retreated to Mo Xiaoli's side and shook his head at her, signaling that he didn't find anything unusual, he didn't tell her about Hou Chujie's body missing, but just silently calculated in his heart. Hou Chujie is indeed dead, he is sure of this, if the body can still move after death, there is only one possibility - Lin Ge, but what is he going to use Hou Chujie's body for? Thinking of this, Chen Lingfeng unconsciously clenched the knife in his hand.
Continuing on, after three more carriages, a messy boulder wall appeared in front of the two of them in the straight tunnel, and the road was once again sealed as on the other side. Chen Lingfeng angrily picked up a stone and smashed it at the collapsed boulder, with a crisp "pop", the stone shattered in half, and the sound of impact echoed in the tunnel for a long time.
Chen Lingfeng leaned against the collapsed boulder and sat down in frustration, at this moment he no longer cared about Lin Ge's attack, reality extracted his last hope, this collapsed tunnel was about to become his last grave. Mo Xiaoli looked at Chen Lingfeng, who looked in pain, and wanted to go up to comfort him, but he suddenly tripped over something under his feet, and he stumbled and almost fell, but fortunately, he held on to the train so that he wouldn't fall down. She bent down and saw a broken armrest of a train seat on the ground by the light of the solid fuel in her hand, and then there was a slight sticky touch on her other hand, and she retracted her hand and a dark red blood stain appeared on her hand. She moved the solid fuel to the side of the car again, and a large pool of dried blood appeared on the body of the car as if it was directed, extending to the bottom of the car not far away.
Mo Xiaoli squatted down in the direction of the blood spray, more blood stains remained at the bottom of the carriage, and a faint white light flickered through the other side of the bottom of the carriage.
The light is like a firefly in the darkness for the two of them now, and the ethereal hope seems to have returned to them. Mo Xiaoli hurriedly pulled up Chen Lingfeng, who was sitting on the ground, and told him what he had just discovered. Chen Lingfeng looked at the faint light and rekindled his hope. The two observed for a while, climbed from the bottom of the carriage, and when they reached the other side, the two found that the original inclined train and the tunnel wall formed an angle, and the collapsed stone did not press down, forming a small space here, through this space, the two came to the other side of the collapsed boulder, and the faint white light was coming from not far away.
The two slowly leaned towards Bai Guang, and when they got closer, they found that it was a flashlight that was still on the ground, Chen Lingfeng picked it up and looked at it, it was exactly the same as the one Lin Ge used that day. The two of them didn't think about it, now that they had come out of the collapsed area, there was only one way out of the way forward. After a distance in the tunnel, several white lights appeared in the darkness again, different from just now, this time the white light hung in the air, and a group of seated figures appeared under the white light.
The two of them glanced at each other, held the knife in front of them, and leaned against the tunnel wall towards the white light. As the distance got closer, the eerie scene became clearer and clearer. White light came from three flashlights tied to wooden sticks, three wooden sticks were inserted into the ground in a triangle, and three corpses sat around each wooden stick in a triangle, each corpse's throat was cut open and looked up at the flashlight on the wooden stick, and the blood flowing from the corpse connected the three wooden sticks in pairs along the shallow pit dug in the ground, forming a huge dark red triangle.
Chen Lingfeng and Mo Xiaoli looked at the terrifying scene in front of them, and they actually recited in unison as if they remembered something, "Three or three are sacrifices, two and two intersect, and there is blood on the neck, in order to pray for Xuanhuang." The number of ninety-nine, in order to lead the spiritual abyss, the Dharma body is coming, and the stars are in the world. "This sacrificial text comes from an ancient book they are all familiar with, "Persona of the Nine Demons", and Xingmang is a wolf-type demon beast, sacrificed with human blood, Xingmang will eat the soul of the enemy who summons it in the world, but this service is not free, Xingmang is greedy by nature, and after helping the summoner eat the enemy's soul, he will also eat the summoner, and also eat his soul.
Why is there a starry altar here, just when the two of them were still surprised, there was a low roar like a beast in the darkness not far away, and slowly, a hideous beast face appeared in front of the two. The monster had a wolf-like face, black hair on its face, a slender horn on its forehead, its limbs were tense on all fours, and it looked thick and powerful, and a row of silver bone spurs protruding from the joints of its back, which shone coldly in the light of the flashlight. The only thing that was a little unusual was the monster's right leg, which was clearly a human thigh that had not degenerated, and a piece of torn jeans hanging from the joint of the calf.
Chen Lingfeng couldn't believe what was happening in front of him, the monster that appeared in front of them was not the star of the present world, but Lin Ge, who had gone crazy before!
