Chapter 44: The Game
Seeing that Gazir couldn't see her, Iannie could just lean over and look at those things in the open.
The Indians revered nature, and there were all kinds of hay, leaves, and scales of living things. Looking at it this way, it is estimated that the difference between Indian priests and witch doctors and Chinese medicine practitioners is not particularly large...... Right?
Eaanne's fingers ran through the glossy glass bottle, the largest of the things Gazir had placed on the ground, and in the bottle was a black, shriveled four-legged creature, said to be a lizard, but it was a little broad, but it looked like a toad, and it seemed to have fine scales, in short, it looked very strange.
Yi Annie poked curiously, and her fingers went straight through, not touching anything, but she had the feeling of "eating" food in the cave before.
Suddenly, the dried creature in the jar suddenly writhed, and the parts of Yi Annie's black body that he touched turned a little white.
Gazir's expression changed drastically, he held up the transparent bottle and said to a few people: "This devil has not been able to eat any blood food for nearly a hundred years, but it is still much stronger than I imagined, its power has invaded this circle, we have to start that game as soon as possible." Whether it works or not, you have to try it! β
Before, Yi Annie's behavior of reaching out to poke the dried corpse was in Inferno's eyes, and when she heard Gazir talk about it so seriously, she almost laughed out loud.
"What's that?" Inferno asked.
Gazir said: "This is the dragon species!" The body is a bloodweeping lizard, but the blood in its body is dragon blood! Sealing the devil relies on the power of dragon blood. β
"Uh...... Aren't dragons and lizards in the West the same thing? Anne stuck out her tongue.
She knew that the bloodweeping lizard, this short-horned lizard, when provoked, would have bloodshot eye sockets, and then spurt a large amount of blood from its eye sockets, and its blood also contained some disgusting substances to protect it from prey.
This method is also very curious, and it is indeed terrifying to think that a lizard will continue to bleed blood stains in its eyes after spraying blood.
Anne had never seen such a creature in person, and she still thought it looked very strange when she saw it this time. However, Gazir also said that this is not an ordinary blood-weeping lizard, probably a mutant species.
"Is this thing alive?" Inferno asked a question on behalf of the others present.
Gazir nodded: "This is one of the patron saints of our clan, it has been around for thousands of years now, and it sleeps most of the time, so I brought it out just in case." Just now, the power of the devil touched it and woke it up. β
Anne looked at her fingerβthe power of the devil.
He was considering whether to tell Inferno to tell Gazir that it was actually her own that had touched the lizard, but Inferno shrugged his shoulders and began to explain the "game" that Iannie had told him.
The game is very simple, just four people stand in four corners, A goes to pat B's shoulder, B goes to pat C's shoulder, C pats D's shoulder, follows D to pat A's shoulder, and the cycle goes on and on.
There were exactly four people present, and although Gazir and the bodyguards couldn't see Iannie, Inferno said she was there.
Inferno was also keeping an eye out for the shadows in the underground parking lot, and as he said the rules of the game, the shadows gradually dwindled, leaving only three or five shadows hovering around them, as if they were ready to join the game.
Seeing that the rules of the game aroused the devil's interest, Inferno carefully stepped out of the columbarium, pointed to a dark red area on the ground in the middle of the parking lot, and said, "Let's play this game with the four pillars around it as a node." β
He stood outside the columbarium, and the ghost figure that was still roaming around just now moved over on its own, and did not come to attack him.
Inferno nodded to the other people in the circle of ashes, signaling that there was no problem, and Gazir walked out of the circle.
"Wait, I have a question." The bodyguard was still standing in the circle, "How can D pat A's shoulder?" After turning around, A should be standing in B's position, and A's original position should be empty? β
Inferno let out a "you're excellent" smile.
The bodyguard really chilled at this time, this game obviously requires five people to play, and the extra "person" between D and A is the protagonist they need to plan!
Inferno snapped his fingers: "Annie, you stand in that position, and you will be the first when the time comes." β
Anne looked at Inferno sharply, "Why me?" β
Theoretically, the position A is the most dangerous position, this position will not face the devil directly, but will give his back to the devil.
Even Gazir couldn't understand Inferno's plan: "This is too dangerous for Miss Anne, isn't it?" β
Inferno stepped forward and whispered to Gazir, who looked at him in a clear light, nodded and stood in his second place, and lit a candle on the ground.
Then, Inferno said to Iannie: "You proposed the game, and you are responsible for your own game, so ......"
Yi Anne looked pleadingly at Gazir, who was still talking to her, but the latter could not see Yi Anne and was unmoved.
The bodyguard resolutely walked to the third position that Inferno had given him, and as he passed by Gazir, he handed him a lit candle.
Inferno took out a lighter in a metal box from his bosom and lit it in the fourth position: "I'll go and turn off the lights." β
"Do you want to turn off the lights?" Iannie had just wondered why Gazir had lit the candle, and her voice had risen an octave.
Inferno nodded: "How can you play this kind of game without turning off the lights?" β
Gazir lit another candle, fixed it with wax oil next to Eaanne's post, and asked, "Is Miss Anne ready?" β
Yi Anne was still lying in the circle of ashes and did not want to come out, and the engineering lights in the distance went out one by one as Inferno walked by.
"Alas......" Iannie lamented, thinking about Monday's dream and the results of the divination that went well, gritting her teeth and walking to the spot where a candle was burning.
Eventually, all the engineering lights went out, and as the white light faded away, a red light gradually came on. It was a temporary emergency light installed at a blocked intersection, which was only used to instruct people below to find an exit in the event of a power outage in the underground parking lot.
The red light is not very bright, from Yi Annie's point of view, it is not as bright as the candlelight under her feet, but this candlelight is also shadowy, and it can only illuminate the outline of an object within a meter square.
It was darkness a meter away, and Anne could only see the bean-like light under the other three pillars, and the legs of the people beside the fire, but not their faces.
The underground parking lot suddenly fell silent, and the noisy sound of the devil's previous "hey, hey, hey" and "hahaha" also stopped.
The sound of Ferno's leather shoes on the concrete floor approached, and after a while, a pair of legs appeared next to the light of the lighter: "I'm ready, Annie, you go forward." β
Anne asked, "Gazir can't see me, I can't touch him, how can I pat him on the shoulder?" β
Inferno replied, "I'll tell him when you get behind him." β
Theoretically, Yi Anne came here in a state of being a soul, but she still took a few deep breaths, and then slowly walked towards the firelight on Gazir's side, leaving the candlelight at her feet, Yi Anne fell into darkness, and the wind behind her neck was gusting, as if someone was blowing cold air behind her.
Eaanne shuddered, quickened her pace, and walked to Ghazir's side.
"Gazir, you can go." The sudden sound of Inferno's voice startled Anne as Gazir in front of her strode towards the next candlelight.
Gazir's steps were a little vain, his footsteps were a little motley, and after a while, a pair of legs appeared near the candlelight of the bodyguard.
He was visibly startled by Gazil's clapped hand on the shoulder, and then he walked towards Inferno with a seemingly steady pace.
After a while, the sound of Inferno's leather shoes was also heard.
There was no one in Iannie's place, only a lone candle.
Inferno's figure gradually entered the range of the candlelight in the first position, and he was very sure that there was a shadow standing in front of him, and this shadow could not be seen in the range of the candlelight, but beyond the candlelight, it was darker than darkness.
Inferno raised his hand and slapped it forward, his hand seemed to pass through a cloud of sticky cold air, which should be colorless and odorless, but at the moment of contact, there was a screaming resonance in his heart.
"Hey, hey, hey......"
When Inferno withdrew his hand, the mournful laughter of the previous dark shadows suddenly came from ahead.
He suddenly had the illusion that his neck had been twisted off with his bare hands, and after that, his soul would be trapped here alone, sinking into darkness forever.
"Shhh
Then, a sound as if a wooden stick hitting the ground came out, and with each knock, the wooden stick seemed to be crushed and broken, and the sound began to approach Yi Annie's position, and the hearts of everyone present hung high.
In the darkness, Anne felt herself surrounded by a cold air, a cold feeling she had felt to the bone marrow, the moment Noah's mother grabbed her ankle.
At that time, the cold began to spread from her feet to the top, and now, she is immersed in the cold. Eaanne's entire body froze there, completely unable to move.
Now, Iannie was filled with only one thought: it's over, I've been killed by Inferno this time......
