Chapter 168: Leave
Tick, tick, tick......
Gala lowered her eyes and slowly stepped over the corpse, her hands dripping blood-red from elbow down.
The living people had no escape, and they were so frightened that they didn't even dare to cry out louder, and they shrank back together, crowded with each other in small sizes, and they all secretly wanted to push people other than themselves out as substitutes for the dead, and even though they had pushed so many substitutes for the dead, Gala still did not leave them like a ghost, when they were full.
"Don't kill me......" The tongues of the people in front of Gala stumbled over each other, the two lips trembled together, scared to death, the whole person kept trembling, and the words were not clear: "Please......"
"What are you killing them for?"
At the end of the wasteland, the blood-red sun shone three shadows, one of the panicked crowd, one of Gala's blood-dripping figure, and the other of a very young boy.
Immediately there was another thin figure on the moor, and the old priest climbed over the hillside, and when he saw the young man's face clearly, he suddenly shuddered, stumbled towards him, and seized him.
"You are resurrected, she has indeed resurrected you, a mirage, a mirage......" The priest said feverishly in the stunned eyes of everyone, "My child ......"
The boy known as the Thousand Mirage did have the face of the Thousand Mirage, but he was obviously very embarrassed by the priest's enthusiasm, and tilted back slightly to avoid the priest's face, frowning and continuing to ask Gala, "What did you kill them for?" ”
Gala has started two major killings in the Clan.
The first time was when Mirage had just died, when she killed the old hunters and snatched back Si's research records.
And the people who survived, who didn't know what Gala was doing for a long time, had them keep digging up the remains of the old gods, dividing up the large, shriveled corpses of the old gods. When she threw away all the rules imposed on her by the society in which she lived, they became her slaves.
The corpse of the Old God did not decompose, but after a large crustal movement, the Old God maintained the same motion of inserting his head into the ground, and the normal corpse sank underneath. The tribe's job now is to pry the corpses out of the ground.
Soon the underground of the corpse of the ancient god was dug through somewhere, and began to overflow with dark thick liquid, and the people who were contaminated with this liquid began to show different degrees of hysteria, and finally went completely insane.
The one who discovered Gala's intentions the first was the priest, who had read Si's research and knew a little about the death of the ancient gods, so she smiled coldly and said, "You want to resurrect a thousand mirages?" Do you think you can succeed? Even if it's Si ......."
Gara stood in front of the huge corpse of the ancient god with a longbow on her back, with a thick anger between her eyebrows, and turned back and said, "What's the matter with you?" ”
The blood on her hands hadn't even been wiped clean, and the hatred that came to her face at that moment, wanting to bite everyone she saw in front of her, made the priest shudder and take a step back.
"Even if you want to resurrect Mirage," said the half-loud priest hoarsely, "you must not mess around, for if you destroy Mirage's body and the evil of the earth comes to devour his soul, he will have nowhere to hide...... How sure are you, you can't ...... directly on a thousand mirages"
Gala repeated, "What's the matter with you?" ”
If Mirage hadn't had a good relationship with her during her lifetime, I'm afraid the priest would have been in a different place by now.
The tribe spent several terrible and chaotic years at the hands of Gala, because they had to devote all their energy to the excavation of the corpses of the old gods, the tribe could not hunt and plant, and there was almost no food source in the disaster year, and at the worst time, it was to the point of killing and eating.
Sitting on the high stone in the distance, Garaga watched as the gang secretly strangled a sick old man and ate his flesh openly, bowed his head and asked the priest who was arranging the scroll below, "You don't want to eat?" ”
The priest's expression flashed with disgust, and she sorted out the things in her hand, she stood up and said coldly: "Even if you let a group of people out to do things, you won't force people to this point." ”
Gala held her cheeks and asked, "If it's a mirage, will he kill people to fill his belly?" ”
They all knew he wouldn't, and the priest opened his mouth, but without saying anything to refute it, he walked away.
After that, Gala disappeared for nearly five years, and she disappeared on her way to the cave where she was born with what she had taken from the old gods.
However, thirty years passed, and according to the general age of people at that time, the priest was already old, and she never thought that she would see Gala appear in front of her eyes again in her lifetime, nor did she think that Gala really brought back a thousand mirages.
The priest did not ask what method Gala had used, and when Gala returned to the tribe and the people were terrified, she was preoccupied with Mirage, but she soon discovered that Gala's method did not seem to have been very successful.
The child, who was also called Qianmir, although he still retained the innate gentleness of Qianmir, forced Qianmir to have other things.
He saw anyone other than Gala for the first time, and with great interest, he walked straight over to block Gala and stood in front of them to examine it carefully.
"Why kill them?" He turned his head and laughed, his eyes shining: "Isn't the efficiency of a group of people hunting much higher than the two of us?" ”
——————
The boy relied on the power of Gala to establish himself in the tribe unusually strong.
Gala basically killed the people who opposed her and tried to seize her power, and the rest of them knew very little about the ghost secret techniques researched and researched by the group led by Si.
Because they rarely have a rebellious mentality, they almost do whatever Gala says, and Gala's instructions often come from the words of a thousand mirages.
Mirage suddenly takes a great interest in leadership, and his orders are so reasonable compared to Gala's indifference to human life.
Whether it is to support people to open up the wasteland for hunting, or to analyze the reasons for leaving here and going to the mountains in an orderly manner, it is much gentler and more acceptable than the bow and arrow in Gala's hand.
The priest gradually realized that the inner soul of the young man in front of him did not seem to belong to the mirage, and he observed the mirage more suspiciously, and once when the mirage rolled up his sleeves and squatted by the river to catch something, the priest saw a large birthmark on his arm.
The birthmark was very long, vaguely visible as a butterfly with wings about to fly, and the two wings covered almost the entire upper arm, and the priest froze in place, and his anger suddenly rushed to the top of her head.
The thousand mirages did not have that birthmark at all, and the thousand mirages did not have any birthmarks at all, on the contrary, a child from the tribe who disappeared three years ago happened to have this mark on his arm, the same cheerful and gentle character, the same ambition, and even the age at the moment, when calculated, was exactly the same.
The priest initially thought that this boy was younger than Mirage when he was alive, and that it might be because of the rebirth of flesh and blood, but the reality was that he was not a Thousand Mirage at all!
Gala didn't resurrect Mirage herself at all, she used a different method......
It was the old hunter who intended to do to Gala in the first place, swapping the method to gain her power.
The priest angrily confronted Gala, who was silent for a while under the priest's gaze before saying, "He will wake up, and the day he wakes up, he will be back." ”
At the same time, a large number of people in the tribe began to go crazy, even if they had closed the way to the remains of the old gods, and no one approached the place again, the tribesmen began to go crazy one after another, and after dying again, there was an extremely terrible state of resurrection.
That is, it becomes a walking dead without feeling and begins to attack and bite the living.
The tribe is plunged into a new round of panic and terror, and the reborn Mirage is elected as the patriarch, embarking on a long journey to lead the people to flee to their homeland.
Under the direction of this young man, Gala opened the channel between the tribe and the outside world, and took the tribe into the outside world for the first time.
The sinister cunnings of the people with whom Gala was familiar during the migration seemed to be hidden before the greater dangers, and they began to support each other, accompanying each other for a generation on the journey, and the first reborn boy died on the way.
Before he died, he vaguely showed a little mirage, looked at the circle of clansmen around him, and there was no hatred at all, he reached out and touched Gala's face, laughed, and said softly, "You have grown up, Gala." ”
It took a person's whole life for Gala to see the departed soul appear at the last moment and say this to her.
After the boy's death, the tribesmen saw Gala unabashedly searching for the young children in the tribe, snatching them one by one, and throwing them back with disappointment and anger, until finally one day Gala appeared in front of the new one and said, "I'm leaving." Protect yourselves. ”
She can't resurrect people who have already died, she can only rely on the liquid she took from the ancient gods, and rely on the power of the cave to give birth to a fetus, forcibly reversing the appearance of a living person, forcibly merging into the last bone and blood of a thousand mirages.
In fact, at the beginning, Gala was not sure whether she was successful or not, it is likely that she only copied a face, and did not retain the consciousness of Mirage, but the last words of the boy before his death made her realize that she had succeeded.
As long as she masters the method of awakening Mirage next, she will be able to leave Mirage in the world forever, leave Mirage by her side, and accompany Gala, whose appearance has not changed in the passage of time, to spend a long life.
However, not everyone's physique can match the Mirage, Gala took the bone and blood refined from the teenager all the way south, and finally met the child with the physique again more than ten years later.
At that time, the blood and bones were on the verge of failure, and when she forcibly integrated the blood into the child's body in a hurry, he suddenly woke up from his coma, stared at her for a while, and could not tell whether it was fear or any other emotion on his immature face, and asked, "Were you sent by your father to kill me?" ”
