Chapter 50: Another Blood Sacrifice (Part I)
"How do you know?" Shu Wan's face changed, and she asked Xiao Chen incredulously. This kind of thing is the most confidential thing in the entire Hidden Mountain Town, except that people over the age of fifty will be told that they will be mentally prepared to carry out the blood sacrifice at any time, and only the administrator of each generation of blood sacrifice will know!
In her generation, the manager should have been Huang Shengguang, but he was really useless, if he knew about the curse, I am afraid he would run faster than anyone else! And his younger brother Huang Shengliang is even more so, the two brothers are one virtuous.
Therefore, the power of this generation fell on her head. And she has to wait until a while before she can tell Huang Wei about this matter, and let Huang Wei be her next generation's successor, which is also the fate of the Huang family! And Huang Shengliang and Huang Shengguang, I'm afraid that the two of them will join the army of the blood sacrifice when the next curse breaks out.
Although it is said that this matter is known to Xiao Chen sooner or later, it is not now, let alone this time! You must know that now is the time when the curse appears, and Huang Wei obviously didn't know anything the day before yesterday, but now he suddenly knows. What does this mean? That shows what he knew yesterday!
And what she knew yesterday can't be stored in people's memories, even she doesn't know what happened yesterday, only that there is such a yesterday. So yesterday, something must have happened before Huang Wei knew what happened yesterday, at least Huang Wei knew something, and then recorded it!
After figuring it out, Shu Wan was relieved. For Huang Wei's special features. Others may not know, but she definitely knows it! Huang Wei and his mother, the mad woman. These two people are not normal people, and they sent that woman to hell with their own hands! It is precisely because of this incident that Mrs. Huang really believed in herself and put herself in the position of heir, and the two waste wood brothers also obeyed their words because of this.
"I guess you know something. Most likely, it was last night. Before the bell rings, the twelve men will be in place by twelve o'clock in the morning, you must have seen something. "Shu Wan is worthy of being the successor that Old Lady Huang values. I guessed where the loophole was.
There were two things that happened yesterday, and although she didn't write them down for fear of being discovered, she could guess them. That's the blood sacrifice and the bloody case next to the giant bell! These are the only two things that can be discovered and associated with the curse.
And the place of the blood sacrifice, Old Lady Huang, has long been set up as a forbidden place. No one is allowed to enter. They also sent people to watch outside. It is even more unlikely that he will find out. Then only the tragedy by the giant bell will reveal the secret of the curse.
Of course, she couldn't have guessed that Xiao Chen was an executor! The executor is originally dealing with curses, not to mention that the executor also has all kinds of magical cursed things, and its horror is no less than ordinary curses. In Shu Wan's eyes, the strict defense was full of flaws in the eyes of Xiao Chen and the housekeeper. Both of them got important information at the Blood Sacrifice site!
"And that's not all, I know what happened yesterday. I know what happened before yesterday! Xiao Chen said with a soft smile.
Of course, Xiao Chen didn't know everything, but he also knew most of the things about the curse. It really doesn't have to be less than Shu Wan knows! You must know that before this, only Old Lady Huang had seen those historical materials in the entire Hidden Mountain Town, and Shu Wan had not read them. And although Xiao Chen didn't see all of them, most of the books were still with him.
Although Xiao Chen hadn't read all those books due to time, in terms of his perception of curses, whether it was what he saw and heard yesterday, or his sensitivity to this as an executor, it was not something that Shu Wan could compare!
"Yesterday? Did something happen yesterday? Shu Wan was still pretending to be stupid at this time, she wanted to test how much Xiao Chen knew.
"Yesterday, of course I didn't know what happened, because we all forgot, didn't we?" Xiao Chen still seemed to be smiling, and his ambiguous words also made Shu Wan confused. But she had already decided that Xiao Chen must know a lot of things! At least, when the bell appears, everyone will lose their memory, Xiao Chen already knows it clearly.
Then, she had doubts about who had sued him. In the entire Hidden Mountain Town, there are only a few people who know the truth about the curse. Several of the old men also went to carry out blood sacrifices, so that the scope was even smaller, leaving only her and the two waste wood brothers of the Huang family. Could it be that the two scraps of wood inadvertently revealed the news? Shu Wan couldn't help but think.
"Don't think about it, I don't want to play any dumb riddles with you, I'll sue you something that you don't know but want to know, and you're going to sue me something I want to know, as a deal, how about it?" Xiao Chen didn't have the patience to continue the temptation, because time was running out! If you can't get the news you want from Shu Wan, then you can only go deep into the high-level space again!
"Say it, I'll listen to you!" Shu Wan also sat up straight, and she became serious. She has never regarded Huang Wei as a child, especially when he comes to find her, he is definitely cunning. It's just that patience is still a little lacking.
"I have a younger brother, you know." Xiao Chen didn't say the news he had first, but asked first.
Sure enough, Shu Wan's body shook when she heard the word "younger brother"! Obviously, the term was not new to her, at least she should have seen it before. This is not unusual, although the zombie clone is very bizarre as Xiao Chen's younger brother, and it is also one of the biggest secrets of the Huang family, but Shu Wan must know it, otherwise how would she know that Xiao Chen's injured body can recover? And it was not surprising that the intact Xiao Chen appeared.
"It's not just the twelve who have died, right?" Xiao Chen said first, "There were also twelve deaths yesterday, but we all forgot about it." And the people who woke up this morning and found that they had disappeared must have all died. And the cause of their death was because of blood sacrifices! The reason why Xiao Chen said these things that Shu Wan also knew was to make her believe that she really had important information, and to make her believe in the authenticity of the information she had.
"Go on." Sure enough, Shu Wan was not surprised after hearing what he said, but her expression was obviously correct.
"What I'm going to sue you is that yesterday's blood sacrifice failed!" Xiao Chen's words exploded in Shu Wan's ears like a thunderbolt! The failure of the blood sacrifice is simply a pain that the townspeople of Hidden Mountain Town can't bear! You must know that there are few people in Hidden Mountain Town, and more than twenty have died in the past two days, and more than ten have died in the blood sacrifice, adding up to more than thirty! And if you don't know about the failure of the blood sacrifice, then twelve more will die tonight!
Then everyone will be erased by the giant clock, and they will do what they do tomorrow according to today's situation, so that in a few days, the people in Hidden Mountain Town will die! What's more, if the blood sacrifice can't be made in time and the things underground escape, then not only Hidden Mountain Town, but the whole world will fall into dead silence!
"Is the news true?" Shu Wan said sweating profusely, she was really scared. Now I want Xiao Chen to say that he lied to her, so that she can really breathe a sigh of relief.
But the reality is cruel, I only heard Xiao Chen say: "Is it true that you don't know how to watch it yourself?" The people who died last night are proof that if the blood sacrifice had been successful, then these people who died last night would not have died! ”
"Yes, yes! How could I have forgotten something so important? Shu Wan blamed herself and lowered her head and muttered to herself. She no longer has the confidence she used to have, this is the first time she has handled a big thing independently, but this is the first time, she has done it badly! This incident was a huge blow to her confidence!
"Don't be busy blaming yourself yet, the most important thing now is to perform another blood sacrifice and seal that thing underground again, this is the most important thing!" Xiao Chen hurriedly said to Shu Wan, afraid that she would really collapse. If she collapses, then he alone may not be able to organize the blood sacrifice!
It's simple to talk to smart people, and as soon as Xiao Chen finished speaking, Shu Wan had already eased up. She once again regained her previous vigorous and resolute character, pushed open the door and walked out, calling in a relative of the Huang family. Now, of course, do something equivalent to a subordinate.
Then he commanded that all the townspeople over forty years of age in the town should come to her and discuss important matters. And he deliberately emphasized that it was related to Mrs. Huang. She was afraid that her prestige was not enough, so she pretended to be in the name of the dead old lady Huang, and only in this way could she achieve her goal in the shortest possible time.
"Wait, wait, don't be busy, I still have something to ask you!" Xiao Chen saw that Shu Wan was about to start preparing for the blood sacrifice, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, although the blood sacrifice was the most important thing, his affairs were not small. What he wanted to do most was to put an end to this curse and find out the medium through which that thing in the high space communicates with the real world!
"What could be more important than a blood sacrifice?" Shu Wan's face was impatient, there was no way, the blood sacrifice was too involved, she didn't dare to be the slightest sloppy, she had to do it immediately, if Xiao Chen didn't have something important, then she wouldn't pay attention to it.
"To be able to completely end this curse, so that the curse can no longer plague the townspeople of Hidden Mountain Town, so that our descendants can all go out without worrying about the threat of the curse, I don't know if this is an important thing?" Xiao Chen smiled and said to Shu Wan, he knew that Shu Wan would definitely agree to talk to him! (To be continued......)
