Chapter 35: The Ritual
Guan Hao?
That's him.
At the moment, my vision is very blurry, but I'm sure it's not a hallucination! So why him? Didn't he turn into a monster before? And now, he is a complete human being, but his clothes are badly damaged, just like Cheng Haidong.
However, looking at his expression at the moment, he is not as stupid as Cheng Haidong.
He was a normal person, and he was looking at me with fiery eyes, as if he were looking at a prop that was so important to him......
That look sent chills down my heart.
The relief on the first floor of the stone tower flashed through my mind, and I was immediately ready to get up! But at this time, I found that my body could not move at all, my feet were tied, my hands were also wrapped with ropes, and my palms were very painful, I looked down, in addition to the rope on my wrists, my hands were pierced by daggers, and blood was constantly flowing.
"Are you awake?" He stretched out a hand and pressed my head: "Don't look at it, you can't blame me, I have long found out that you are very dishonest, I am really worried that just by tying your hands and feet, you still have a way to escape, so you can only let you hurt a little to control." ”
"You ......" Through Guan Hao's fingers, I looked at him: "Do you want to sacrifice me?" ”
"You got it? Or did you already know? ”
Guan Hao was a little surprised.
"If I really knew, I should have killed you." I looked at him with a cold gaze.
"You won't, you're not someone who kills."
"Neither were you."
Guan Hao nodded, let go of his hand, and he smiled, "It's not ...... now No one dies, rituals, to make people reborn, understand? If you know, you won't be uninformed, will you? ”
"That's not a rebirth! Where did you find me? That stone tower, the relief in the stone tower records the process of all rituals, it is a monster parasitic on the human body, and it is not a human being who is resurrected, it is a monster! They have a purpose! Remember those who died before? Do you know what killed them? It's those monsters, and you, your so-called ritual is to create that kind of monster by sacrificing humans! ”
"So what! I...... I've changed too...... But I'm still me, and that's enough! It's better to become a monster than to die, right? I can kill more people to stay alive! In order to live, live with Nana! ”
Guan Hao is completely immersed in his own world.
Letting Ruan Nana live has become the only meaning of his life.
That's something I can't change at all.
But I'm also wondering, I thought that only by completing the ritual can I make the human body mutate, or even be reborn into that kind of strange insect. But Guan Hao obviously had not experienced the ceremony, and all indications indicated that he was here for the first time, and all he knew was a partial topographical map of the place.
However, Guan Hao has just turned into a monster.
Although at this moment he has become a "man" again.
Thinking about Ye Tianze before, he was not infected in this cave.
Although I am very reluctant to think about this and say my own speculation, maybe the person who infected him is me. It is highly likely that my body is parasitic with the female worm recorded in the relief.
So, is there a female worm around Guan Hao?
At this point, I turned my head to observe the surroundings, and we were still in the cave, which was quite a small space. The shining point of the flashlight is on my side and Guan Hao, so it is very dark around, and I can't see it clearly, but I can vaguely hear the breathing of other people.
Guan Hao spoke so confidently to me just now, and tied me up and controlled me, so he probably had full confidence in completing the ceremony, so I guessed that this might be the place to complete the seven-person ceremony.
And the map that Guan Hao knows is the one that leads here.
I don't know what will happen here after the ceremony begins, my life can't stop here, I have to find a way to save myself! But my hands and feet were tied, and I couldn't get out for the time being, so I could only change the topic first to delay time, "What about the others, you have found them?" ”
He turned the light of his flashlight around, and I could see the cave in its entirety.
This place is similar to the slime pool cave that I passed before, but the overall area should be much smaller, and in the center is also a pool, and in the pool lies a person, and that person is Ruan Nana.
Around Ruan Nana are me, Cheng Haidong, Yao Qianwen, Guan Dawei, Xia Nan, if Guan Hao himself is counted, then there are just seven people.
"Get all of you, and I've wasted a lot of energy. You know, I was going to send you to this cave in a very comfortable way, and then I'll tell you what happened. But why are you so annoying? You noticed it, and you seem to know something that I don't know, and I think you're going to be bad, and I want to get rid of you, if it weren't for the fact that now we're only the last seven, I should have killed you. ”
Guan Hao twisted the knife, and there was a sharp pain in my hands.
I gritted my teeth, didn't make a sound, and stared at the man in front of me.
He continued: "I think it's good to have you sooner or later, but it's okay, Nana shared that slime with me a long time ago...... It's impossible to take you over safely, I can only break you one by one, and then tie you up. ”
Guan Hao said "that kind of slime", is it the slime in this cave? He had previously told a story about Mina, in which Mina gave Nguyen what she ate, this is the kind of thing?
Well, I have a new guess.
Perhaps, this slime itself will infect people and gradually transform into monsters.
But there seems to be some kind of option, you can choose to change your form, either a human or a monster.
It's just that this kind of alienation will make the human body gradually weaken and eventually die.
In order to change this reality, Guan Hao brought the infected Ruan Nana into this deep mountain, and he seemed to know that a series of dangerous things might happen here, so he did not choose the exact number of seven people at the beginning, but a few more people to choose from, and at the same time, he also took the kind of mucus that alienated Ruan Nana early.
"Okay now, it's cheaper for you. I know that this ritual may not be very friendly to anyone other than Nana, but it doesn't matter, as long as Nana is still there, as long as I can still be with her, it doesn't matter what happens. ”
Hearing Guan Hao's words, it seemed that the ritual could start at any time, I tried to stand up and yelled at him: "You are crazy, do you know what will become of her?" Are you really saving her? ”
"I know exactly what I'm doing." Guan Hao smiled coldly, got up, and walked to the side, the person lying there seemed to be Yao Qianwen: "There are some things, the sky is helping." I don't know why you're in that ruins, but there's been a violent collapse! Among the ruins, there are swarms of insect corpses! But you didn't die, why? Because of providence! This is a providence of God. ”
After that, she slashed Yao Qianwen's wrist, and the pain woke her up, and she looked at me with fear, asked what was going on, and cursed my decision to climb.
And I was speechless.
When I was mortally wounded for the first time, I felt that we had run out of blood for each other, and now, the blood is still flowing down Yao Qianwen's wrist to the ground.
Me too.
Guan Hao slashed all of our wrists in a row, blood flowed on the ground, and finally, it was his turn. He lay flat in the position that belonged to him, and the moment he cut his wrist, he called out Ruan Nana's name: "Nana, I will always be with you and loyal to you!" ”
