Chapter 226: Living Sacrifice (1st Update)
The strange town, the indifferent crowd, the dinner with anesthetics, everything is so weird, so weird that Lan Ze can't believe that the town in front of him is the simple Middle-earth world in his memory. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Bilbo is already in a coma, this guy is in a coma very thoroughly, the anesthetic for two people was eaten by Bilbo alone, who is unconscious if he is not unconscious?
Looking at Bilbo, who had lost consciousness, Lan Ze really felt that he was so tired to have such a teammate.
As a warrior, although you don't have strong strength and a strong physique because of the innate factors of hobbits, you still have to be cautious when walking the rivers and lakes, right?
Wouldn't it be strange to be in such a weird and indifferent town to face the enthusiastic and unseemly old Tom family? You Bilbo don't feel that Old Tom's enthusiasm is too incompatible with the indifference around him?
And dinner in the evening, and the rest doesn't matter, just say that plate of fresh lamb and tomato bisque, man, what time is it?
When the whole of Middle-earth is in an unprecedented crisis, everyone is in danger!
In this chaotic time, you are already very happy to have a piece of clean bread to eat, just yourself, your family's living conditions are good, right? There's so much gold at home, but in the end, it's not the hard-to-swallow potatoes at home?
On weekdays, you can't even eat a bite of fresh meat, except for potatoes and dried vegetables, and that pile of gold, what else do you have?
But what did Old Tom entertain you? Fresh lamb! Fresh tomatoes! Soup made with fresh vegetables! You know, this is Middle-earth, and there's no such thing as a refrigerator or safe.
What is the most precious thing in Middle-earth right now? Not gold, not gems, but fresh meat and vegetables and fruits.
Because of the red-eyed demon, coupled with nightmares every night, everyone's mental state is on the verge of collapse, and there are a series of wars and natural and man-made disasters, at this time in Middle-earth, fresh food is the most precious thing.
And Old Tom and Bilbo only met once, met each other, and only gave each other a piece of gold, and the other party entertained Bilbo so warmly and luxuriously, didn't you think about what was abnormal? To put it mildly, in this special time, the food that Old Tom gave Bilbo was worth more than the gold that Bilbo gave Old Tom.
Another point, Lan Ze only tasted one bite and never moved the food again, Bilbo didn't think about it, why did Lan Ze only eat one bite?
So, for Bilbo, the only thing Lanze wants to say is a bad review!
But that's okay, Bilbo is in a coma, and some things that Lan Ze doesn't want Bilbo to see, he can also let go and do it.
After Bilbo was in a coma for half an hour, there was a knock on the door of the side room where Lan Ze and Bilbo lived.
Lan Ze squinted, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, found a comfortable position, closed his eyes and lay down.
Dangdang, three knocks on the door.
There was silence inside and outside the house, and after a while, old Tom pushed open the door and peeked out his wrinkled face.
"Mr. Bilbo? Mr. Lanzer? Did you sleep? I'm old Tom, I'm here to get the cutlery. ”
There was no sound in the room, and after two dinners with anesthetics, Bilbo slept more than a dead pig.
As for Lan Ze? How could Lan Ze, who was pretending to be asleep, be woken up?
But even so, old Tom still didn't let down his vigilance, staggered into the room, and pushed Bilbo and Lan Ze, with hypocritical concern on his face: "Sir? Wake up, you're going to catch a cold if you sleep like this. ”
After making sure that the two of them were really completely unconscious, a trace of hideous malice appeared on Old Tom's face: "Little Tom, you can come out, these two guys are completely dizzy, you can come and tie these two guys up." ”
Little Tom, the son of old Tom, is a burly man who is not inferior to Lan Ze, but he looks a little stupid.
In the afternoon, when Lan Ze and Bilbo came to Old Tom's house, they had already seen this stupid big man, and the first feeling that Little Tom gave people at that time was that he was stupid, very simple, and very simple person.
But at this moment, this stupid big man seems to have changed into a different person, although he still has the same face, but at this moment he is no longer the stupid he used to be, but a face of evil, a hideous face, like a demon wielding a butcher's knife.
Little Tom walked out of the room with a fierce face, looked at Old Tom, waved his thick arms, and pushed the thin Old Tom aside with a slap, and the little Tom's eyes flashed fiercely: "Get out of the way, old immortal, don't you see you blocking my way?" Get the, don't you know what you're supposed to do? Hurry up and show me the luggage of these two unlucky guys, see how much valuable it is inside, get out of here! ”
Facing the rough and fierce little Tom, who has completely changed into a person, Old Tom's eyes flashed with fear, and he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he honestly lowered his head and went through Lan Ze and Bilbo's luggage.
Little Tom looked at the back of Old Tom leaving, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he spat viciously at Old Tom's back.
Half an hour later, Lan Ze and Bilbo were firmly tied by Tom with a rope thick with his thumb, Tom kidnapping people is very special, this method of locking people's joints firmly is not a technique that ordinary people will use, normally this kind of binding technique that tightens people's joints and makes people unable to break free, only people in the army will be proficient in using it, that is to say, Tom Little is likely to be a deserter, or has served in a human country in Middle-earth.
Moreover, the rope used by Little Tom is also very special, the rope with a thick thumb is very cold and heavy, and it is particularly rough, Lan Ze guessed that this kind of rope should be made of special materials.
This made Lan Ze more and more curious about Little Tom and what was going to happen in this town.
Half an hour, after Lan Ze and Bilbo had been tied, there were bursts of footsteps outside, as if many people were gathering towards this room at this moment, and at the same time, after fixing Lan Ze and Bilbo, little Tom also left the room.
Then he heard a chatter and commotion outside, and faintly, Lan Ze could hear a messy conversation or two.
"Have you found a sacrifice?"
"I've found it, it's the two people who live in Old Tom's house today."
"It's a pity, I saw those two people today, they are both good people, but it's a pity that they are going to die."
"Pity? What's the pity? If you can't bear it, you can replace them. ”
"When I didn't say it."
"Isn't that the end of it? Besides, it's not the first time. ”
"Yes."
Lan Ze also heard a lot of conversations like this.
Sacrifice? Not the first time? This made Lan Ze frown.
It didn't take long for Lan Ze to feel someone enter the house, very heavy footsteps, and very familiar, it should be little Tom.
Then Lan Ze felt as if he had been lifted up, and the whole person had a feeling of floating in the air, and then there was a bump.
During this period, Lan Ze could hear very ugly swear words coming out of Little Tom's mouth, which probably meant that Lan Ze was too heavy, and he was scolding Old Tom for being a waste who couldn't provide a better environment for himself, otherwise he wouldn't be like this, and in addition, Little Tom was still insulting the residents of these surrounding towns as waste.
One person scolded a group of people, and none of the people around him dared to refute, and they all dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, which shows that Little Tom is also a lawless type of person in the whole town.
I walked for nearly an hour all the way, and I heard little Tom scolding and scolding people along the way, and I didn't know why this guy was so angry in his stomach, so he actually scolded and said all the way.
There must have been quite a few people around Little Tom, on the one hand because of the chaotic footsteps, and on the other hand, because the light of the torches was very dazzling.
Lan Ze didn't do anything, just quietly pretending to be unconscious.
After nearly an hour of travel, the group finally stopped.
Lan Ze and Bilbo were placed on a smooth stone slab, the surrounding of which was charred black, the marks of the flames, and around the slate, a large amount of dry wood was piled up.
This made Lan Ze frown, and everything around him reminded Lan Ze of a very ugly bad habit - living sacrifice.
There are many types of living sacrifices, such as beheading, offering heads to the gods, or digging out human organs alive to pray for the blessings of the gods, including the heart, eyes, ears, and other organs.
Burning to death with fire is also a kind of living sacrifice, and it is not a very novel method, but most of the living sacrifices, the final sacrifice is not to the gods, the gods rarely need living sacrifices, and most of the people who use living sacrifices are demons, or evil wizards.
Moreover, according to Lan Ze's understanding of Middle-earth, there seems to be no tradition of living sacrifice in Middle-earth, burning people to death and sacrificing to the gods, this kind of cruel behavior has never happened in Middle-earth, Lan Ze has traveled to the entire Middle-earth with Gandalf, and he understands the customs and customs of various regions, but this kind of thing is the first time he has encountered it today.
But no matter how much Lan Ze didn't believe it, it still happened, and with the crazy cheers of the townspeople, little Tom waved the torch in his hand with a hideous and crazy expression, ready to light the dry wood around Lan Ze and Bilbo.
At this time, Lan Ze woke up, there was no way, he had to wake up, Lan Ze couldn't really watch the residents of the town burn himself and Bilbo to death, right?
Hard, Lan Ze felt that the rope tied to his hand was like a noodle, and it was stretched in an instant, Lan Ze was stunned, and looked at the stretched rope in his hand in shock, inside the rope, Lan Ze saw the slender copper wires that were pulled, Lan Ze's eyes flashed a trace of understanding, no wonder I felt before, this rope was a little hard, a little cold, it turned out that there was a copper wire in the rope.
Copper wire? As if thinking of something, Lan Ze's face became a little ugly, the copper wire is metal, so it burns constantly, and the anesthetic medicine that Old Tom gave in his dinner will make people unconscious, but if there is severe pain, he will still wake up.
What is severe pain? The pain of the flame can definitely wake people up from a coma.
Damn, what would be the consequences if it wasn't yourself tonight, but someone else?
Watching yourself be burned to death by the flames? Let out a miserable howl, in addition to pain, there is also the fear of death, can't resist, watching himself gradually die, stepping on a horse, who came up with such a perverted thing, this is going to be painful to death!
At the same time, the sharp-eyed residents also noticed that Lan Ze had woken up, and let out a sharp exclamation: "Damn, wake up!" Tom, the sacrifice is awake!! ”
The next moment, Little Tom kicked the screaming resident to the ground with a kick, and glared at the other party fiercely with fierce eyes: "Wake up, wake up, what do you call?" It's not that I haven't seen them before, just burn them to death! ”
Turning his head, Little Tom glared at Old Tom with a fierce face, and shook his hand to slap: "Horse-stepping, Old Tom, you old immortal, didn't you want to add more anesthetic to this big man?" ”
Old Tom on the side covered his face, opened his mouth, and finally lowered his head and did not speak.
Old Tom didn't want to say anything, maybe he was used to it.
As for the surrounding townspeople? They were also accustomed to everything in front of them, and were even in the mood to laugh at old Tom at the moment.
"Haha, old Tom, this stupid man, was beaten by his son again."
"You deserve it, who made old Tom this old guy clumsy? It's better to die sooner. ”
"What I'm saying is, it's a pity, Old Tom, the old immortal, is hard, and he is not dead now, in other words, if it weren't for the two fools who came today, it would be Old Tom who died now."
Listening to the ridicule and harsh voices, old Tom shrunk his neck, lowered his head, and his eyes flashed with inexplicable sadness.
And at this moment, on the other side, Lan Ze had already sat up, looking at the townspeople around him who were holding torches and laughing loudly at Old Tom, looking at the dry firewood around him, his face sank: "What's going on, what are you going to do?" Let us go, do you know who we are? ”
Little Tom glared at Lan Ze with a fierce face: "you, I don't care who you are." ”
Lan Ze frowned slightly, thought for a while, and pointed to Bilbo on the side: "The one next to me, his name is Bilbo, he once had an adventure with the current Dwarf King, and he is friends with the wizard Gandalf, believe me, you can't bear the wrath of the wizard, now let us go, Bilbo is still in a coma, he doesn't know anything, I can guarantee that nothing happened." ”
Sorcerer? The Dwarven King? For these residents who have never been out of a small town in their lives, even the lord of a small city is an unimaginable big man, and a big man like a wizard and a dwarf king whose fame has resounded throughout the continent is unattainable in the eyes of these people.
After listening to Lan Ze's words, some people's eyes were already flashing with hesitation, and some people had already begun to whisper.
Sensing the erratic expressions on the faces of the surrounding residents, Little Tom's face flashed fiercely: "Shut the fuck!" You fools, these two people in front of you must die, what's wrong with the wizard? What happened to the Dwarf King? Can they be compared to our great god of nightmares? If you don't want to have nightmares every day in the future, and you don't want to be eaten out of your soul in nightmares, give me an honest living sacrifice. ”
Little Tom's deterrent power is very great, the gods, and the nightmare to eat the soul, so that most of the surrounding residents flicker with fear, but in the face of the prestige of the wizard and the dwarf king, there are still some people who hesitate: "But, little Tom, they are ......"
"There's nothing to do, I want to let them go, okay, your name is Jack, right? I know you, you go and make a living sacrifice for that big man, as long as the number of people who live the sacrifice is enough, I have no opinion, how about it? ”
Little Tom looked at the man named Jack fiercely, and many people around him also looked at Jack.
Sacrifice yourself for others? How is that possible? Jack had seen the horror of living sacrifice with his own eyes, and he wasn't the kind of person who could sacrifice himself for the happiness of others.
Looking at the eyes around him one by one, Jack's face turned blue and white, and finally waved his hand in embarrassment: "Don't look at me, I won't die for a stranger, Brother Tom, I support you, whatever you say, burn them, burn them, use their souls, sacrifice our gods." ”
With Jack's shout, Tom looked at the residents around him with fierce eyes, and under the threat of Tom's eyes, the surrounding residents gradually shouted with Jack.
Burn them! Burn them!
The surrounding flames were blazing, and through the orange-red flames, Lan Ze looked at the townspeople whose faces were gradually starting to go crazy, and his brows were furrowed deeper and deeper.
The crazy eyes of these people around him reminded Lan Ze of some kind of cult ritual, crazy, full of blood and barbarism.
The difference is that another cult ritual is to set oneself on fire, while the immediate sacrifice is to kill other people.
When the first torch was thrown at the hay around Lan Ze, Lan Ze's brows had already wrinkled into a big bump.
Looking at the town-town residents around him who had fallen into madness, Lan Ze's eyes flashed with deep disgust.
A glance swept over, and the torch that flew over stopped quietly in the void, as if time had stood still, and took off the completely deformed rope that had been torn from his body.
Lan Ze looked at these people around him indifferently, a flash of murder flashed in his eyes, and a cold and piercing voice of death came out of Lan Ze's mouth.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of watermelons bursting, the townspeople who were crazy before, at this moment, as if they had a bomb in their heads, their heads exploded one by one, as if a bullet had exploded a watermelon, and the red slurry flew all over the sky.
A silent explosion was mixed with the brains that had completely turned into semi-liquid, and fragments of broken skulls flew all over the sky, and the surrounding area was instantly enveloped in a strong smell of blood.
In an instant, it may be a second, it may not be a second, anyway, after this moment, the surrounding nearly a hundred residents who had been crazy before, at this moment, only the cavity without a head was left to stand quietly on the ground.
A gust of wind blew, and a corpse without a head fell to the ground, and the earth was instantly stained red with blood, and a cavity without a head spurted out a large amount of blood, and the limbs were faintly twitching.
In an instant, the surroundings turned into a terrifying Shura field.
Little Tom, who had a fierce face before, looked at everything around him with dull eyes at the moment, and finally exclaimed miserably: "Ghost!" ”
He crawled and ran towards the forest behind him.
But the next moment, Lan Ze appeared in front of Little Tom, his indifferent eyes and Little Tom looked at each other, Little Tom only felt endless profundity, everything that happened in his previous life, in front of his eyes quickly recalled.
From the time he can remember, then to join the army as an adult, then to the fact that he met a man who claimed to be a believer in the god of nightmares, then to becoming a deserter, then to returning to the town, and starting his own crazy sacrifice.
In the end, little Tom recalled tonight, recalled to this moment, looking at Lan Ze's eyes without any emotion, little Tom suddenly had an idea.
Me, is this going to die?
The next moment, little Tom's eyes went black and he lost consciousness completely.
All that was left was a headless cavity, bleeding frantically.
