Chapter 20: A Moment of Life and Death
I was awakened by the stinging pain in my arm, and found myself tied to the cross with the masked man kneeling in front of me, his hands prostrate, as if he were worshipping, and he was not the only one who was worshipping me.
Most of the people who went to chase the Taoist priest had returned, and I counted the masked people, a full seventeen, all of them kneeling on the beach, and I became the object of their worship. This situation is indescribably strange, I think it's terrible, I can't have let their sacrifice go, and now they are going to use me as a sacrifice, right? Damn, if that's the case, the cost of saving people is too great!
I looked at the still burning bonfire, and felt a chill in my heart at the thought that I would be thrown in and burned alive. I could save that girl, but who can save me now? The Taoist priest doesn't know life and death, even if Lin Qiao'er and that girl come, it will only add to these people, I hope they don't come, thinking about it, I found that this time is really over.
In the midst of despair, I suddenly felt as if something was dripping from my right hand, and at the same time there was a tingling pain. I turned my head to look, and saw that the men had cut a cut in the black line of my right arm, and blood was dripping down from the hole, and with each drop I felt a tingling pain, and at the same time the hideous black lines would stir once, like beating veins.
I know that one of the ways of human sacrifice is blood sacrifice, which is to cut a bloody hole in the sacrifice and let the blood gush out in a steady stream, until the blood runs dry and the sacrifice dies, and the ritual is not over. Come on, it seems that my treatment is better, I don't have to be burned to death, at the speed of this drop of blood, even if it is drip for another two or three hours, I may not be able to die, maybe I can wait until the Taoist priest comes to save me.
As I was thinking, the masked man suddenly stood up, walked under me, and picked up a bowl-shaped vessel, and I realized that there was a bloody thing underneath. The masked man took the bowl, looked at me, raised the bowl with the blood above his head, bowed again, and said a bunch of things in his mouth that I did not understand, and then walked to the boulder with the bowl reverently, poured the blood on it, and began to prostrate and pray again.
Looking at the blood bubbling down the stone wall, I feel so distressed, it's all my blood! At the same time, I was a little puzzled, although I couldn't understand what the masked man said in prayer just now, but I could hear that the words were spoken in the same language as the people of Aji Village, which was strange, could it be that they were of the same nation?
"I said, this blood is also released, can you put me down first, even if you don't let go, you can help me stop the bleeding first, in case you can still use it later, the blood is drained again, it will not be easy to find me again?"
I tentatively shouted to see how these people were looking, but none of them paid any attention to me.
At this moment, a bald middle-aged man with a big belly walked out of the darkness with a group of people, and I saw that these people were all holding guns in their hands, and I was shocked, and immediately thought of the identity of these people. The security team, these people are the security team, and the diary says that the people in the security team have shotguns in their hands, and the security team is coming, so I am saved.
I was about to cry out for help, but the next scene made me cold from the beginning to the bottom of my feet. The bald man hadn't arrived yet, but he had already said hello to this side, and asked if the matter had been done, and then he saw the masked man stand up, apparently they knew each other.
When I got to the campfire, the middle-aged bald man looked at me in surprise, and then asked the masked man, "Why did you change people, what about the girl?" It was a virgin born on a cloudy day that I had managed to find, and it would be difficult to find it again. ”
"Rescued by him and two others." The masked man pointed at me, and replied in a voice that was not salty or light, and it seemed that he would not be young.
Hearing this, the bald man's face changed, and he hurriedly asked, "Ran away?" What about the sacrifice, I can still point to the Black Witch Lord to manifest and settle those living dead. ”
The bald man was a little anxious, and the masked man patted him and said, "Don't worry, that baby has the imprint of hell on his body, and the yin qi is more abundant, and the black witch will like it even more." As he spoke, he had me laid down in front of the stone wall, and walked up to me, a pair of ghost-clawed hands caressing the black lines on my arms back and forth, and through the mask, I could see the frenzy and awe in his eyes.
I got goosebumps all over my body from the touch of those ghost hands, and I twisted my body and tried to struggle, but unfortunately the rope was tied too tightly, and it was completely useless. I couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted and asked, "What do you want to do, let me tell you, kidnapping is a crime, you let me go quickly, I will act as if nothing happened, otherwise, my companion will definitely bring the police to arrest you all." ”
This intimidation even pales in the face of my own power, and I didn't expect to really scare them, mainly because I wanted to delay time.
As soon as I finished speaking, the bald man looked at me, and then a guy with a gun came up to me. I said something bad in my heart, and suddenly I regretted what I had just said, and before I could react, the guy picked up the butt of his gun and slammed it on my stomach. The pain hit me so much that I felt like my intestines were about to vomit out, and I almost fainted.
Holy shit, there was no room for that moment at all, this bastard really wanted to kill me! I looked at the group of people in front of me in fear, and suddenly understood that it was useless to tell them anything, these people were simply a group of outlaws, and I am afraid that there were many murders.
The bald man squinted at me with a smile on his face and said, "Police? Little doll, I'm afraid you don't know, there have been a few policemen here before, check and check, the acquaintance took the golden tuotuo safe and get out, the unknown has been thrown into the elm ditch to feed the dog, even if you have a little background, to this Fengyang, I let you live, you can live, I let you die, even God can't save it, understand? ”
As he spoke, he sneered: "You should be glad to be a sacrifice to Lord Dark Witch, in return, you won't feel too much pain, and your companion ......" He paused, snorted mysteriously, and continued: "They will live better than die!" ”
Looking at the bald man's twisted and crazy face, I didn't dare to speak anymore, and then I watched him order his subordinates to search for Taoist priests and Lin Qiao'er, but at this time, I was not qualified to worry about them.
After the bald man ordered his subordinates, he immediately shouted to the masked man: "Old patriarch, let's start!" Then I saw the masked man take out a bone knife out of nowhere, cut my clothes, and then chanted a song I didn't understand, and at the same time made a gesture on my chest and belly, the cold blade touched my skin, and the extreme horror made me foresee my fate, this old immortal is going to disembowel me!
I writhed in horror, doing fearless dying throes. The old man in the mask finally finished chanting, and the sharp blade stabbed into my chest without the slightest hesitation. Suddenly the world was spinning, and I didn't even feel the pain, but I felt as if my soul was out of my body, and my mind was in chaos, and there was only one thought left: It's over, I'm dead.
The chaos spread through my mind, and I was numb, but after a while, I suddenly realized that the chaos was real.
In the area lit by the bonfire, countless strange birds with sickle beaks circled and wrestled with those people. The strange birds were extremely fierce, and the shotgun bullets hit the strange birds like mud cows into the sea, and they only flew upside down, but soon flew back unscathed. On the contrary, it was the long beak of the strange bird, sharp as a knife, but if it was stabbed, it was basically over, and under the influence of one another, the townspeople with guns in their hands fell into the disadvantage, and in the end it almost became a one-sided slaughter.
In the confusion, the bald man and the masked man took the opportunity to sneak into the woods behind the stele, and several strange birds immediately followed. Looking at this scene, I prayed in my heart, and said in my heart, come on, strange birds, you must catch up with those two kings and eight calves, and then poke more than a dozen holes in them, otherwise Lao Tzu will not be able to turn a blind eye.
Heavenly cycle, retribution is unpleasant, watching these people being killed by strange birds one by one, my heart is extremely happy, but when I think of myself dying, I can't help but feel a little sad, but why can't I feel pain at all?
I subconsciously looked down and couldn't help but be stunned, only to see that the place where my chest was inserted by the bone knife was intact, and even the skin was not broken.
What's going on? I just saw the bone knife in my chest, am I just dazzled, or am I hallucinating?
At the same time, I was so overjoyed that I almost cried with joy, this is simply the blessing of the Bodhisattva. However, in the next second, I couldn't be happy, those people were killed by strange birds, chased and chased, and they could run away, at this time there were no living people around the bonfire, but those strange birds were still there, I damn it, just out of the tiger pit and into the wolf's den!
I wailed in my heart, and the strange birds, after killing those who had not been able to escape, finally set their sights on me. The rest of the seven or eight strange birds all came up to me, with green eyes, tilting their heads to look at me, as if they were looking at something strange, but they did not move their mouths to attack.
After waiting for a long time, the strange bird has not moved, I am curious, and my heart says I rely on, is it possible that these birds are good birds, punish evil and promote good? Look at me as a good person and don't plan to kill me? But when I think about it, I don't think it's right, these beasts don't keep their hands at all when they are in the room, this logic doesn't make sense.
Just as he was thinking, the bonfire had been burning for too long and suddenly collapsed in the middle, and the strange birds suddenly rushed towards the collapsed place, and suddenly sparks were shining, and several birds were set on fire, and let out a baby-like wail.
Seeing this scene, I immediately understood that these birds only seem to attack moving things.
The onslaught of the strange bird threw coals everywhere, and a few pieces bounced off the stone wall and landed just on the rope, breaking the rope that bound my left hand.
I was overjoyed, and the rest of the strange birds were all set on fire and were fluttering wildly, and there was no time to care about me. I hurriedly untied the rope, found the backpack that had been left aside, and was about to run, when I was stunned by the sudden scene.
