Chapter 46: Offerings
Li Yang suddenly woke up to the mysterious "Tales of the Hades" There are a total of five parts, and now there are two of them, the opening "Mushroom Man" and the last "Hanging". This "Tale of the Hades" series is very secretive and has a strong curse, and there are currently two possible origins, one is obtained by Li Damin's translation of Sun Ami's manuscript; There is also an unknown kind of director, who filmed it, and I don't know where Liu Yang heard it.
The people in the big hall in front of them actually recited this "Story of the Underworld" as a scripture. Fortunately, they came in late and only listened to an indifferent ending, and if they came in earlier and heard the whole story, wouldn't they be cursed too?
The gray-clothed man in the main hall slammed the book in his hand shut, making a "pop" sound. The whole hall fell silent, not a single person spoke, and a needle could be heard, and it was terrifyingly quiet.
The man suddenly trembled, his whole body trembled, he raised his face slightly, the white Sunjiro mask looked at the sky above the main hall, and he actually let out a slight moan of "ah~ah", which sounded both painful and pleasant. At this time, the red lights were hazy, the faint flames flickered, and the whole hall was filled with an eerie and terrifying atmosphere, which was really like a nightmare.
The man's trembling was like contagion, and everyone in the hall began to tremble at the same frequency, twisting his whole body, looking up at the sky, and unconsciously making a sound of "ah~~ah" in his mouth. It's just one person, and now it's hundreds of people doing it together, all wearing masks as white as ghosts, this scene is both shocking and terrifying, and the three of them are stunned and feverish.
After a long time, Li Yang said, "What are they doing? ”
The woman smiled: "You don't have yin and yang eyes yet, so you can't see the underworld." Please use it. From the pouch she had carried around her waist, she took out a small vial, which contained half a bottle of thick geltled paste. She dipped some of her hand into the eyelids of the three of them.
"What is this?" Liu Yang asked.
"This thing is the tears of the ox, which opens the eyes of the world and allows them to see the dark scene. Otherwise, in the era of the end of the law, how can many laymen know the miracles of my king of the underworld. The woman said.
The three of them wiped the cow's tears, looked at it together, and this time they saw it clearly.
I saw that in addition to a group of believers, the main hall was also filled with hundreds of millions of silver-white long maggots. These insects covered almost the entire floor of the main hall, like a sea of silver and white. Look at each one carefully, and move in that chrysalis, entangled with each other, head and tail entangled, and make people's scalps numb.
"It's an earthworm." Liu Yang said tremblingly.
The woman heard it: "Yes, Liu Yang's predecessors may have seen it, this is the resentment earthworm, born with resentment, they are looking for a parasite." ”
Only then did the three of them notice that these silvery-white earthworms were actually drilling in and out of those people's bodies, and each person's gnawed skin was full of fine and dense small black holes, and in each small hole there was a small earthworm's head shaking.
Being bitten like this, these people actually look like they are enjoying it extremely. The more and denser the earthworms drill, the greater their pleasure and the more they seem to be able to experience the feeling of fluttering fairyland.
The three of them really can't stand it, no matter how strong their nerves are, they can't hold on to this kind of scene. The copper lock was the first to wipe away the cow's tears from his eyelids, leaning his back against the railing, panting, and could no longer bear to look at it.
The woman chuckled: "Daoyou still hasn't honed enough." ”
"Aren't they hurting?" Copperlock asked incredulously.
"Resentful earthworms don't cause physical pain, they corrode and torment your soul. It's like a maggot attached to the bone, you can't shake it off or let it go, and that heart struggles in extreme pain every moment. Earthworms can awaken the most painful heart-rending feeling in your subconscious, you look at the following brothers and sisters, everyone will encounter such and such unpleasant things in the world, the world is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, everyone has an extremely painful past. And the resentful earthworm can summon this pain, making their hearts feel like they are being cut repeatedly by a small file. The woman said.
Copper lock waved his hand: "Don't talk about it, don't talk about it, I get goosebumps when I hear it." ”
Li Yang was puzzled: "In this case, why do they still have an expression of enjoyment?" ”
"Since you can't escape pain, you have to learn to enjoy it." The woman said, "Only pain can make you see the truth behind this world." ”
As he spoke, the earthworm disappeared at some point. The men in the hall left their seats and gave way to a large area in the middle.
Through the side door, a few people came in. In the middle was a man dressed in black, accompanied by a staff member dressed in gray. The new man in black was unmasked and naked, and he had a big sick face, his face was so yellow that anyone could see that he was terminally ill.
Several people came to the open space in the middle, and the man in black knelt on the ground with a "poof". The gray-robed man who read "The Story of Hades" slowly stood up and walked to the man in black with his hands behind his back. All the other believers gathered around.
The man in black was surrounded on all sides by people wearing miserable white masks, as if he had fallen into a group of ghosts. The oil lamps in the hall were silent and silent.
The gray-robed man said, "Qiao Jun, do you want to join our big family?" ”
The man in black coughed and said, "I would like to join the big family, be with my brothers and sisters, and serve the king of the underworld." Ahem, I hope the king of the underworld can give me rebirth, I found out that I am terminally ill, and I will live in a few days, ahem, I hope the king of the underworld will save me, save me......"
Speaking of which, I was a little emotional, and kowtowed on the ground.
"To join the big family and want the king of hell to save you, first of all, you must have a wish yourself." The gray-robed man said.
"I have a wish, I have a wish, you can do whatever I want."
The gray-robed man stretched out his hand: "Come." Someone respectfully handed him a knife, this knife was slender and sharp, and the blade was glowing with blue light, and it was sharpened very quickly at first glance.
The man in black swallowed his saliva and felt cold all over.
The three people in the corridor also watched intently, and in this treacherous and terrifying atmosphere, there was suddenly such a murder weapon, which was really terrifying.
"You know our rules here. To worship the king of the underworld, one must have a desire and action, and one must see the determination to truly devote oneself. When our brothers and sisters enter this gate, they have to offer an organ of their own body, but what are you going to offer? ”
The man in black knelt on the ground, cold sweat on his head, his teeth chattering. After a long time, he raised his hands and gritted his teeth: "I donate the little finger of my left hand." ”
He's shrewd. The copper lock thought about it, if I was asked to offer an organ, what would I offer? After thinking about it all over the body, I was reluctant to do any of it, and donating the little finger of my left hand was a more acceptable choice.
The gray-robed man sighed: "I don't have enough wishes, and I still have selfish intentions." A small finger can only keep you alive for one year. ”
The man in black broke through the psychological barrier and let go: "I will worship whatever you say." ”
The gray-robed man walked up behind him, stroked his hair gently, and nodded at the people next to him. The man next to him took out a black cloth and wrapped it around the eyes of the man in black. The man in black trembled and trembled, the unknown horror was coming, and this feeling was simply tormenting the person.
"You can't be lynched." Li Yang felt that his words were extremely bitter.
The woman smiled: "Voluntary worship, no coercion, this is not a lynching, not to punish anyone, but a manifestation of the wishes of brothers and sisters to the king of the underworld." ”
The gray-robed man lit up his knife and quickly made a circle under the black-robed man's scalp. How fast this knife was, after cutting in a circle, there was no blood flowing out in an instant. After waiting for a while, the blood flowed out of the wound. The man in black screamed in pain, but his body didn't dare to move.
The gray-robed man handed the knife to the person next to him, and then stretched out his hand to slowly tear down his scalp along the cut wound. In the process, the man's terrible screams echoed throughout the hall, and everyone watched quietly. The fire shone brightly, reflecting the eerie color of these people's white masks.
After about fifteen or sixteen minutes, a piece of bright red scalp was lifted. Someone took the tray, and the gray-robed man put his scalp on it.
The man in black was bleeding profusely, his eyes were covered with the black cloth, he couldn't see, his hands were propped on the ground, and the blood on his head was dripping down.
"Congratulations brother, joining our family." The gray-robed man said. The masked crowd around them applauded together.
The man in black almost fainted on the ground, unable to speak.
After doing all this, someone carried the man in black who was already unconscious out of the main hall. The others also slowly dispersed, and only the gray-robed man was left in the most apse, and he raised his head to look up.
This look, I am looking at Liu Yang and others. Although he was wearing a mask, the three of them could still feel the man's sharp gaze shining from behind the mask, slicing through it like a knife.
The three of them hurriedly avoided it, their hearts pounding, and no one dared to look at it more.
The woman nodded at the gray-robed man below. The gray-robed man walked out of the side door with his hands behind his back, flicked his long sleeves, and dragged a long shadow. The ghostly hall just now was empty at this time.
"Three, I just received a message from the dean, and he asked me to take you there." The woman said.
"Who is your dean?" Liu Yang asked.
"You'll know when you go." The woman smiled strangely.
