Chapter 34: The Blood Sacrifice
On the second night of entering the mission world, Xiao Chen and Dongfang Xiaobai did not sleep. Because the steward told him a very important piece of information, that is, tonight, there was a blood sacrifice! It was the Huang family who organized to fight against the curse, but Xiao Chen felt in his heart that something might happen to this blood sacrifice.
Because this blood sacrifice is different from the past, they are the executors here! It is impossible for the Cursed World to allow the Enforcer to pass the mission by luck alone, so it is impossible for them to pass the mission by relying on the natives alone, and there will definitely be a threat of death!
Therefore, Xiao Chen decided to go and see this blood sacrifice! The location of the blood sacrifice can't be hidden, it's in a courtyard of the Huang family! This news was told to him by Mrs. Huang, because Mrs. Huang appeared at dinner today and set the courtyard as a forbidden place, and all the Huang family members were not allowed to approach, and there were many guards outside the courtyard.
Xiao Chen is a little embarrassed now, although the blood sacrifice is very important, but the giant bell can't be ignored! Xiao Chen guessed that twelve bells rang last night, and twelve people died. Maybe someone will die on the clock tonight!
Dongfang Xiaobai said to let her go to the bell to watch, but Xiao Chen hesitated. He didn't know what to do, if Dongfang Xiaobai was in danger, he wouldn't be able to have the power of a spatial curse like Kuroko, and be able to travel through space to save her. But he said that he must protect Dongfang Xiaobai!
Dongfang Xiaobai saw his thoughts, walked over, and slowly hugged him. At the same time, he said, "I know, you want to protect me." But remember. I'm not a weak baby, I'm also an intermediate performer! And I'm a mid-level medium, and I have a better perception of danger than you. So don't worry about me! ”
At Dongfang Xiaobai's insistence, Xiao Chen agreed, but what Dongfang Xiaobai took away was also a right hand of the zombie clone!
Zombie clones are just like real zombies, with weak points on their hands and head. The left hand is in charge of space, the right hand has a powerful curse power, and the head has a curse power that infects humans. It's just that its spatial power can't teleport. At most, it's a little faster when you're on the road.
Xiao Chen handed the right hand of the zombie clone to Dongfang Xiaobai, which was equivalent to giving her a cursed thing. If Dongfang Xiaobai is in danger, then when he senses it. You can pass the guò zombie clone to pass on the curse power, and you can save Dongfang Xiaobai's life at a critical moment!
After doing this, Xiao Chen lay down on the bed and put all the six senses on the zombie clone. At this time. He is the weakest. There is no power, just like a vegetative person. Of course, even if this body dies, nothing is there, and he can be reborn with the help of a zombie clone.
However, he still has to protect this body, after all, his cursed eye is on this body! Even if he borrowed and was reborn, he couldn't take the cursed eye with him, and he would still stay in this body.
Xiao Chen's zombie clone sneaks underground. I went down the ground to the small courtyard that had been placed under martial law. According to Huang Wei's memory, this small courtyard turned out to belong to Huang Wei's third uncle. It's just that his third uncle seems to have died ten years ago. I want to know. It's definitely related to the curse. In other words, most of the deaths in Hidden Mountain are related to this curse. Very few people should have died of natural causes!
Just look at the age of the townspeople in Hidden Mountain Town, there are very few old men and old ladies. It is believed that those who are old have voluntarily sacrificed themselves to participate in such blood sacrifices. In fact, Xiao Chen guessed correctly, because when his zombie clone popped up with a head, he saw that all the elderly people in Hidden Mountain Town were gathered here. Even Old Lady Huang seems to be going to participate in the blood sacrifice!
Since it was already dark now, and there were no lights in the yard. Of course, it is impossible to illuminate such a large courtyard with only a few torches and oil lamps. All of them didn't notice Xiao Chen's arrival.
And at this time, Old Lady Huang suddenly spoke: "Residents of Yinshan Town! We've lived here for generations, and no one has ever left, and the reason for that is because of this curse we have underground! His voice was slow, but it seemed to have a special magical power, causing a gust of wind to blow in the small courtyard, which was not particularly quiet.
The wind came very suddenly, and everyone shivered. Although Xiao Chen was a zombie at this time and didn't feel it, he could sense a wave of yin qi rising from the ground!
"You heard it right, it's a curse! Some of you may have read some of the accounts here, but I'm sure most of you don't know what this is all about. I'll start at the beginning. Old lady Huang asked people to take out a large stack of books, and then took out the top one.
But at this time, the mutation protruded! A gust of wind blew and scattered all the books. Old lady Huang hurriedly asked people to put the book away, although he didn't know what was going on, but he knew that it was definitely not a good thing!
And these books are the most important thing, and there is absolutely no room for error! Even if you are desperate, you must protect these books!
The sudden change made everyone stunned, including Xiao Chen, who was buried in the soil except for his head. Although he knew that the blood sacrifice would not necessarily go smoothly, he didn't expect that something would happen so soon!
However, his reaction was definitely the fastest among everyone, and when he saw that Old Lady Huang was desperately protecting those books, he knew that these books were definitely the most important clues in this mission! So with a wave of his left hand, he directly expanded the spatial teleportation, although he couldn't teleport far, but it was still very easy to teleport to a place where there were books.
Although Mrs. Huang wanted to protect the books desperately, she couldn't protect all the books due to her old age and frailty. It was the help of the Huang family around him that he was able to read these books. But there are still many books that have been blown away by the wind, and Xiao Chen, he did not go to rob the books from Old Lady Huang, but to chase those books that were blown away by the wind!
Finally, Xiao Chen used the quick way of space shuttle to grab a full four books. And just as he was getting the fourth book, the head of a man next to him suddenly exploded, as if a bomb had been planted in his head!
This scene not only frightened Xiao Chen, but also made all the townspeople scream in shock! Because, most of them don't know about the curse, and when they encounter such a thing, of course, they are very afraid.
Fortunately, Xiao Chen did not directly show himself as a zombie at this time, but wore a dress on his body and a hat on his head. Plus it was dark, so no one noticed him.
As soon as Xiao Chen saw the dead person, he knew that something was wrong, and the curse seemed to have come in advance! Because Xiao Chen had already seen that the gray mist that appeared first in the small courtyard where he lived had already blown along the yin wind!
"Everybody listen to me!" At this time, it was Old Lady Huang who was the first to react, and immediately summoned all the townspeople to tell them not to panic. This person is like this, as long as there is a leader in everything, then it is as if they have a backbone.
"Everybody did what I said! Hurry, we don't have much time! Old Lady Huang shouted loudly, and then he began to assign tasks to the townspeople. And Xiao Chen took this opportunity to sneak away.
Of course, he didn't leave, but hid in the cracks of the space, watching what Old Lady Huang was doing.
He had no intention of stepping forward, because although those people were all lives one by one, not NPCs as he had previously thought. But the reality is that he doesn't have the ability to save them all, and in fact, he's in danger right now. Because just now, he had seen that gray mist was filling, and it had enveloped the courtyard where his body was stored!
However, he didn't leave, because he could think that if Old Lady Huang and their blood sacrifice didn't succeed, then that thing underground would come out! And that thing is definitely not something they can deal with now!
Therefore, he had to understand what the blood sacrifice was all about in order to prepare for the future. Even if Old Lady Huang fails, then he will succeed! This is Xiao Chen's thoughts. Moreover, these people have their destiny, and it is their destiny to give their lives for the benefit of their children and grandchildren!
Old Lady Huang's method was actually very simple, that is, to cut the arteries, release his own blood, and let them flow into something similar to a magic array that had been drawn in advance in this courtyard. But Xiao Chen could see that this magic array was not the main thing, the most important thing was the thing placed in the center of the magic array, it was a cursed thing!
Seeing this thing, Xiao Chen knew that his guess was not wrong, and it was indeed given to the natives by the Cursed World in order to balance the strength between the executor and the curse. Needless to say, the effect of this cursed thing is definitely to reseal the thing that is going to come out of the underground again! And what activates this cursed thing is not the curse power of the executors, but the blood sacrifice!
Of course, Xiao Chen believed that if this cursed thing fell into the hands of the executor, then it could definitely be driven by the power of the curse, but the effect might not be so good. Otherwise, there is no need to kill so many people! You know, the more dead people there are, the more you add to the curse!
Old lady Huang wants everyone to listen to him and give his life. But only a small number of old people did it, and the rest of the people did not do what he said! Because they didn't know why they did this, Old Lady Huang didn't have time to tell them.
Xiao Chen sighed, knowing that this blood sacrifice had failed! (To be continued......)
