Chapter 254: The Oracle
The sound of a thump exploded in my ears, and faster and faster, and the door began to tremble violently. Almost everyone subconsciously held their breath. "Bang, bang, bang......" The impact sound began to slowly become regular, gradually coinciding strangely with the heartbeat, and every time the heart beats, the impact sound sounds, as if it directly knocked into the hearts of everyone present.
The impact sound became faster and faster, and the heart beat faster and faster, eventually reaching a limit.
"Poof!" A mouthful of blood poured out of Andrew's throat, and Andrew, who was the backbone of the entire sacrifice master, shook his body tremblingly, and then forcibly covered his chest with his right hand, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his left hand. And the gray-robed servants behind him fell one by one with the sound of impact as if they were cutting wheat.
I don't know how long it was, but the thing on the other side of the door seemed to be tired, and the impact began to fade and finally stopped.
The gray-robed servants who didn't even dare to breathe finally exhaled, but Andrew didn't relax in the slightest, still tense his nerves, and Andrew, who was not presiding over the ceremony for the first time, knew very well in his heart that this seemingly calm surface was just the last calm before the storm.
Sure enough, two seconds later, "Boom! A loud bang like a mountain suddenly sounded. Even though the entire underground chamber is made of pure steel structure and installed with a lot of soundproofing materials, the terrifying sound still spreads out from the bottom up.
William's Cathedral, as a landmark building in Jingshui City, began to shake violently like a dying old man, and then collapsed, the floor sagged, the ping-pong building debris continued to fall, and the dense dust that choked the nose made the originally thriving scene suddenly chaotic, the choir praised the gospel of God was replaced by the cries of the children, the devout believers who were doing Mass panicked You pushed me, I squeezed you and ran towards the door, from time to time someone was pushed to the ground, and before he could stand up, he was trampled by the people behind him and ran over, The bad roots of human nature are exposed at this moment.
And the underground secret room in the center of the sonic explosion was even more in shambles, and most of the gray-robed servants who were already few left fell again. Only three or two of the kittens were left, and the gray-robed servants stood behind Andrew, covered in blood.
The elite backbone of the Salvation Cult was almost half reimbursed for this sacrifice alone. And yet it was all worth it, because the door was slammed open! A terrifying giant eye appeared in front of everyone, all kinds of illusions crossed in the giant eye, the giant eye seemed to have some kind of magical attraction, people couldn't help but want to stare at it carefully, as if the most beautiful existence in the world was in that evil eye!
"Keep your head down, don't look at that eye!" Andrew let out a thunderous roar, alerting the disciples behind him.
However, Andrew's warning was too late, and two more gray-robed servants couldn't resist the restlessness from the bottom of their hearts, and couldn't help but look up at the evil eye. With just one glance, the two gray-robed servants immediately fell to the ground as if they had lost their souls.
The fate of the two gray-robed servants made the others lower their heads, but deep down there seemed to be an extremely seductive voice constantly ringing in everyone's ears, tempting people to look up.
Thankfully, the alluring eye lasted only a brief moment before it was replaced by a massive claw full of scales that seemed to be made of black iron.
The exaggerated claws, and the scales as hideous as steel, prove the true identity of the owner of this strange eye, the dragon.
The moment the paw passed through the door, the door, which had been calm all along, suddenly twisted, contracted violently, and then disappeared all at once. And the huge claw was gone, leaving only jet-black blood flowing all over the ground!
"Failed again!" The black-robed man in the lead shook his head regretfully as he looked at the stinking blood in front of him, this was not Andrew's first sacrifice, to be precise, this was the third time he tried to communicate with the great being in his mind.
Originally, in the first sacrifice, Andrew successfully communicated with Mephalah, the god of pain and despair, but because Andrew collected too few sacrifices containing divine power at that time, the open passage was not enough for Mephala to descend into the real world.
As for the second sacrifice, although the sacrifice was enough, Andrew originally thought that he could successfully welcome the arrival of Mephalah, but things were not as simple as he imagined. There seems to be an infinite web between the real world and the world of The Elder Scrolls, and the more powerful a being, the more difficult it is to pass through the countless webs, and the weaker they are, the more likely they are to pass through the door to reach another world, and Mepharah's powerful divine power undoubtedly makes it impossible for him to pass through the countless webs that crisscross it. So the second advent also failed. However, Andrew was not completely unsuccessful, and although he could not come in person, Mephala still allowed a large number of ghosts in his kingdom to pass through the door and enter the real world. And that large number of ghosts is the biggest help for the rapid development of the Salvation Church in the United States.
But it is precisely because of this rapid expansion that it has attracted the attention of the American government, and under the comparable carpet search, the power of the Salvation Church is being eroded little by little, and the Salvation Church urgently needs strong force to protect their interests, so the third sacrifice was carried out again, and Andrew hoped that Mephala could send his own oracle to reverse the unfavorable situation of the Salvation Church at the moment.
However, the third sacrifice was still unsuccessful, and the oracle did not come to this world. But as the sacrifices deepened, Mepharah in the Elder Scrolls world clearly felt that the net that blocked his arrival in the real world was slowly weakening. Perhaps it won't be long before this Mefala can truly descend into this world without restrictions.
Collect the blood of the evil dragon on the ground and prepare for the next sacrifice ceremony. Listening to Mephalah's oracle again, Andrew ordered the few remaining gray-robed servants behind him, "One cup per person, collect the rest and prepare for the next sacrifice." ”
With Andrew's order, the remaining restless gray-robed servants seemed to have finally been unshackled from their bodies, no longer restraining their inner restlessness, and the evil ghost seemed to rush towards the pool of jet-black blood.
After careful collection, all the blood was packed into a pure gold chalice by the gray-robed minions. Then one after another gray-robed people seemed to drink holy water, and reverently took the bloody plasma with a silver goblet glass, the black plasma swayed in the silver cup, mixed with a strong fishy smell, such a picture can really be described as a hunting horror, not to mention drinking, even a glance is enough to make ordinary people tremble.
However, the gray-robed servants didn't care, opened their mouths calmly, drank the plasma bit by bit as if they had tasted ginseng fruit, and even stretched out their tongues to lick the silver cup clean.
