Chapter 22 Sacrifice

"No, no, no, no, no......"

My mind went blank as I stumbled to the wall, the words of malice and curse piercing my heart like an icepick. I was like a mad idiot, groping with my fingers for the distorted marks in front of me, and even though the wooden thorns pierced my skin and the red blood scattered along my palm, I repeated it mechanically without any sense.

"How can it be so fast, so fast......"

Reason and consciousness were no longer able to control this shell, and I kept moaning, and my ears were full of crackling, sharp whispers. The lingering feeling of powerlessness came back to me, and I thought I had time to prepare an explanation, I thought I could change it all, but the reality was like a majestic glacier crushing me to dust on the rough and eternal earth!

From the beginning, my rebellion was child's play.

“...... What the? What's so fast? ”

Suddenly, the noisy tinnitus subsided in an instant, leaving only the urgent call sign. I turned my head and saw that her hands had been grasped by her at some point.

"Uh-"

But when my vision was completely clear, I was suddenly startled, and I couldn't spit out half a word!

Because behind Yao, in that pale light, Yao knelt on the ground with a smile, and the expression on his face was exactly the same as that of the big man at that time!

"It's your turn."

She spoke, her voice sounding like it came from the Styx of Hell.

Eventually, the most fragile spirit began to collapse, and more hallucinations and illusions appeared, flying stumps and blood fountains that filled the room. I saw a deep red pool, on which Da Yao and Han stood straight, staring at me, sinking, leaving only a circle of rippling ripples. A familiar face came over, it was Wei Ming, and he said slowly in a hoarse tone,

"Your Excellency, is there any other way to go?"

Syllable!

Suddenly, I only felt a sharp pain in the left side of my face, and then the whole person flew upside down! Before I landed, another brute force pulled my neckline and lifted me up!

"You're sober!"

What occupies the eye socket is the big man's face full of meat.

"Nope."

I yelled inarticulately, closed my eyes and shook my head violently, and when I opened them again, all I could do was a worried face.

"Are you better?"

She trembled uncontrollably, her slightly closed eyes smeared with bloodshots.

The world is back to its original state, at least not for the time being.

"Do you know who did this?!"

After finding out that I was back to normal, she immediately yelled loudly, and it was clear that Yao still had a lot of positive impressions on her during this time.

"I don't know, I don't know anything."

My voice sounded like a cracked flute, and all the truths that could not be revealed were broken from the mud of the seabed, just a step away from the scorching sun.

She let go of her clenched hands, but there was a clear confusion in her eyes when she looked at me, and this kind of gaze seemed to burn people, and I couldn't bear it, so I turned my face away.

"What about you? Do you recognize who left it behind? ”

She stopped looking at me and turned to ask the old woman at the door.

"Uh...... Old decay is also ......"

The village chief didn't react that the wildfire would burn on his head, so he had to accompany the smiling face for a while, but after a while, as if he remembered something, or was simply afraid of disappointing the noble "saint" in her eyes, he hurriedly tiptoed into the room and said,

"The old man does know a person, and he may be able to guess who kidnapped the girl."

"Who!"

I didn't control my momentum, so frightened that the village chief took half a step back, and I got up with my face in my hands, and the air in my chest twitched restlessly. The old woman's face was a little ugly, as if she had struggled in her heart for a long time before she slowly spoke,

"The man...... It's the sacrifice in the village - Wei Ming. ”

The horror of the sun's dazzling rays, the stratus clouds that have just accumulated with great difficulty, are fleeting. The jewel-like blue and distant sky is no longer obstructed, refracting and focusing all the light on the floating island-like land beneath your feet.

She didn't say a word to me again, but asked the village chief to carry her to the church not far away. The old woman, who was very old, obviously regarded this as an extremely high honor, and was careful not to slack off in the slightest along the way, for if it was a little longer, she would have to lay herself on the ground and let her step on it.

"Wei Ming ......"

I muttered, feeling nervous again, not just because he wanted to pretend to be unaware of who was behind the whole thing, but also because of his confusing identity. The last time they met, Wei Ming also described himself as a seemingly unthreatening oppressed person who was used as a tool by the ferns, only to be transformed into a priest of divine power in this village ruled by faith, which was ridiculous.

But thinking about it, I could only sigh helplessly. Wei Ming is a much deeper person than I expected, not only can he kidnap Yao without knowing it, but he also has more than one helper like Xun, and most importantly, he knows me too well, knows how to use me and control me, and presumably now, he has already known our whereabouts, and he is sure that I will not dare to act rashly in front of everyone.

"What the hell are you trying to do......"

Walking at the end of the line, I whispered, and I was a little more suspicious of Wei Ming's purpose in my heart.

"Yo, sacrifice!"

The village chief, who was at the front, shouted, and she turned to look at me with uncontrollable adoration in her expression,

"It's a sacrifice, he knows we're coming!"

I turned my head and saw in the distance a man in white with a scepter in his hand, a loose hood hanging from his forehead, hiding his entire face in shadow, under the steeple-roofed wooden hut on the northernmost side of the village.

Before he could walk in, the man took the lead and paced calmly. Ten meters apart, the two guards immediately left us, suppressed their excitement and stepped forward in a strange salute, while the man also stretched out the scepter in his hand and tapped the forehead of the two of them with the gem set at the top. After the scepter was returned to its place and the man in white was back on his feet, the village chief came to his side with him. The two leaders stood together in spirit and material, but for some reason, I always felt that the status of the worship in the hearts of Wei Fern was no longer on the same level as that of the village chief.

"I know what you're here for."

At the same time as the sacrifice spoke, his eyes kept inadvertently resting on me, and after seeing the face under the hood, I still had a trace of luck and my heart completely cooled down - that person was Wei Ming.

It's just that Wei Ming's current temperament is very different from before, and the tone of his speech is also a little strange, it sounds completely devoid of the confidence and arrogance of that night, but there is an indescribable abnormality.

"Follow me."

After saying that, Wei Ming turned around, pushed the door and walked into the house, although I was a little surprised, but I still took it from the village chief and followed.

As soon as I entered, I noticed the difference, it was more of a laboratory than a church. Bottles and jars are filled with substances of different colors and shapes, and in the center of the rows of elevated shelves, there are several slightly dilapidated futons and a golden altar.

For some reason, Wei Ming was too silent, and only led us to the center of the room step by step, and then, under my rather curious gaze, tapped on an inconspicuous bulge on the edge of the altar. Then, only a series of dense and faint sounds were heard, and a few wooden planks instantly fell above the surrounding window lattices, blocking the light from the outside world, and only a few paper cages in the corners still emitted a faint green light.

"What you're looking for, it's not here."

Wei Ming's eyes were half-squinted, looking like she was about to fall asleep. And she finally arrived at a place suitable for her, although she was a little dazed, but she still asked for the first time,

"So where is she? Who did this?! ”

However, this eagerness fell into Wei Ming's ears but did not stir up a trace of waves, he was like a machine, and his flat tone sounded like a synthetic recording,

"The Lord says that as long as you respect the rules, the person you are looking for will surely return."

When she heard this, she suddenly stepped in front of Wei Ming, pointed at his nose and shouted,

"What the hell do you know?! Don't hide it from me! ”

I frowned, and I always felt that there was something in these words that referred to the smell of mulberry scolding. But Wei Ming seemed to have no emotion, looked at the distorted face sluggishly, and then continued without any fluctuations,

"But the Lord found out where the person you were waiting for was, and the Lord said that his name was Jue."

In an instant, the entire room fell silent as if it had been frozen, and the points of light in the paper cage jumped like ghost fire, splitting Wei Ming's lifeless face into several swaying shadows. I stiffened my neck and saw the expression on her face froze strangely.

Before the two of us could recover from the thunderbolt news in the clear sky, Wei Ming said like a walking corpse,

"Tomorrow's festival, he'll be there waiting for you."

With that, he quickly pressed the mechanism hidden in the altar, and the bright light curtain collapsed again. The unannounced change made even my eyes tingle a little, not to mention the screams of surprise.

"Hey! What do you mean?! ”

Staring at the half-crouched on the ground and howling, I couldn't help but be angry, and shouted at Wei Ming.

But the moment I looked up, I saw a scene that made people's scalps explode!

I saw that Wei Ming still maintained the same stiff posture and expression as before, but in the collar around his neck, several slender scarlet tentacles stretched out, twisting and burrowing into his pale lips! But in the next second, the tentacles seemed to detect my gaze, and shrank back in an instant, as if they had never appeared! I held my breath, my whole body trembling, my mind full of indescribable fantasies! However, as my gaze slowly moved up, I suddenly found that Wei Ming's eyes, which had been slightly closed, were staring at me as if they were about to collapse! The whites of his eyes were covered with fine pale green lines, and something in his robe that was holding up the ground began to agitate wildly!

"Let's go."

Wei Ming didn't open his mouth, but the voice with the slag of ice resounded throughout the room again.

Finally, I lost the courage to stay any longer, and rushed forward to pull up my eyes and run towards the gate as if fleeing for my life! I don't know how many items I knocked down along the way, and the sound of glassware shattering and the whining of the glassware were mixed with a ghost talisman that urged me to die!

The heavy door was pushed open, and the familiar village reappeared. But my stomach is like a tumultuous stomach with countless long worms, wriggling and crawling between every inch of my intestines!

Finally, the long-lost air poured into the alveoli, pushing open the adherent diaphragm, and I couldn't hold it anymore, my eyes went black, and I passed out!
