Chapter 37: The Sacrifice

In a separate large private room, Chris, Chen Long, Laporte, Weng Tianyang, and the four of them sat around the table, exchanging information. Others, they are doing their own things (in a daze, etc.). )

He Chenglin has never liked to talk, he is a doer. Lu Lingyu's sister and brother are clearly positioned, the elder sister Lu Lingyu is a full-time doctor, and the younger brother Lu Lingfeng is a full-time mascot. In a squad with a clear division of labor, they naturally don't need to use their brains too much.

To be precise, the most oily person in the team is Weng Tianyang, but this person has some Buddhism recently, and he wants to retreat behind the scenes, maybe he feels that he is more powerful behind the scenes, so the limelight was stolen by Chen Long. Moreover, Chen Long, who has been with Weng Tianyang for more than half a year, has long assimilated with Weng Tianyang, or the two have influenced each other.

As for the other two at the table, Chris is intellectually responsible in Laporte's eyes, but if it weren't for his age, he might not be as powerful as Chen Long and Weng Tianyang. As for Laporte, although his IQ is average, he can't be compared with the other three at the table, but there is no way, who called him hard fists, one person is an army, so he was still allowed to be on the table.

When Chen Long asked Chris about Stlett who had been operating here for so many years, Chris said that he knew almost nothing about this place, only that it was an evil town, but he didn't believe in ghosts and gods by nature, so he didn't take it seriously, and the people who came here to do business just sent the guests here and left, regardless of the follow-up, and he didn't know whether the people who came before were dead or alive.

It's weird, it's reasonable to say that since you've been here for twenty years, you need to know a little bit about the surrounding towns, but Chris doesn't seem to be like that. After Chen Long raised his doubts, Chris also fell into deep thought. Yes, he knew all the other towns around, but only the nearest one was Stret, who knew nothing.

Chen Long changed the question and asked Chris:

"Do you know a man named Leon, more than ten years ago. ”

Chris looked up at Chen Long, a little emotional, and said:

"How do you know Leon? Where is he?"

Chen Long replied calmly:

"It's here, but it's probably dead. We found his diary. ”

"Well, what do you want to know?"

"He mentions in his diary that he supported you to win a crucial battle. I just want to know, this group of people, what is their strength. According to his diary, he probably survived in the town for almost a month. ”

"I was a good brother to him, he saved my life, and when he wanted to go to Stretlet, I tried to stop it, but he was determined, and I had to give him supplies, and do my best. He was never heard from again, presumably dying in Stretlett. As for his squad, I can only say that it is very strong, tacitly cooperative, and has accurate marksmanship, which is definitely a first-class mercenary level. ”

"Okay, I already have a bottom in my heart, I'll tell you about our inferences ......," Chen Long said the reliable and unreliable conclusions of his inference.

"There will probably be another strange ritual in the next two nights, but at least it's safe to take the opportunity to fix it, and when the ceremony takes place, there will be no time to rest. By the way, we've checked the rest of the town, and we haven't found anything, and we probably won't have to wait until after the ritual to progress. ”

Then after chatting some things, the meeting broke up, not so much small talk, but rather talking to each other, trying to find out the bottom of the allies. Everyone must have their own purpose here, but they still can't figure it out for a while, so they still have to pay attention to the people around them.

The hotel floor is divided into three areas: left, center, and right, with Chen Long and his party living on the left, Laporte and God in the middle, and Brotherhood on the right.

As soon as Chen Long and Weng Tianyang closed the door, Weng Tianyang immediately said to Chen Long:

Chris has something to hide, and what he said earlier is in line with Leon's diary, but there must be more than that, and his silence about Stelet definitely has something else to hide. ”

The reason why Weng Tianyang didn't speak at the meeting was to listen to other people's speeches, Chen Long was responsible for talking, he was responsible for finding problems, and the division of labor was clear.

Chen Long listened, nodded, and said:

"Yes, and Laporte has his own agenda, but he won't be against us, at least not for the time being, I can be sure of that. Next, the main thing is to figure out what Chris wants to do. ”

With that, the two walked into the room and joined the conversation with a grin. As for why not tell the others, please, not everyone is an old fritter, what if the stuffing is exposed.

On that day, the day was spent eating, sleeping, and eating, and everyone was nourishing their spirits in case something strange happened that might cause mental overdraft.

At about half past eleven o'clock in the evening, everyone leaned against the window, lifted the corner of the curtain, and stared at the street outside, for fear of missing something.

After the bell rang, the time also came to twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. Under everyone's nervous gaze, there was finally a change in the street. One by one, the townsfolk pushed open the door, staggered, and walked mechanically out onto the street, where they gathered into a stream of people and headed for the seashore to the west.

Everyone didn't stop, they immediately went downstairs and walked onto the street. When leaving the hotel lobby, He Chenglin, who was left behind, found that the hotel owner had disappeared at some point, and they did not see any "people" leaving the hotel before. But he didn't care, just kept up with the large forces in front.

Of course, the first one to rush out was Laporte, but even if he rushed out at the speed of Bolt, he could only see the vague shadow of the flow of people in front of him, and the speed of this group of townsfolk was so fast that it was strange to think of watching their mechanical stiff movements before.

Except for most of the thugs in the Brotherhood, the others were not ordinary people, and after sprinting with all their might, they finally followed the townspeople and cautiously came to the western part of the town.

They came to the back of a building by the sea and used military binoculars to observe the townspeople in front of them.

I saw the townspeople kneeling on the ground one by one, worshipping in the direction of the seaside, and in front of the townspeople, I don't know when a delicate and small golden statue suddenly appeared.

When everyone saw it clearly, they realized that the statue depicted an octopus head, covered in tentacles, sharp teeth and claws, and a pair of bat wings on its back.

Chen Long and others, who were familiar with Cthulhu culture, immediately recognized that this was a Cthulhu statue, and the townspeople in front of them were worshipping Cthulhu.

Just like the sacrifices that everyone usually sees, they also prostrate themselves on the ground, muttering some unintelligible words in their mouths, showing extreme piety, and there is nothing special about it.

It didn't take long for the townsfolk to get up and walk back. Chen Long and the others hurriedly hid in the shadows of the building.

When the crowd left, the crowd came to the beach where the townspeople had been sacrificing. There are no traces on the beach, no footprints, no traces of people kneeling, except for the statue of Cthulhu that still remains there.

When everyone came to the statue of Cthulhu, they just stopped and watched, and no one dared to pick it up and look at it.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, no one knew what would happen when they picked it up, it was all you looking at me and I looking at you.

"Really, if you don't take it, I'll come. ”

As he spoke, Chris picked up the statue of Cthulhu in front of him, and the other members of the Brotherhood around him didn't have time to dissuade him.

When he picked up the statue of Cthulhu, nothing happened.

When everyone was confused, Lu Lingfeng on the side took out his mobile phone and said timidly:

"Well, I recorded the scene just now in order to keep a souvenir. ”

After speaking, Chen Long snatched the mobile phone, opened the video just now, just opened it, and was snatched by Weng Tianyang to watch it, the others didn't care about the two of them, just gathered around and watched the video just now.

"Pause, look, is there someone here just now?" Chris was the first to notice the anomaly.

When everyone went back and looked at it, they found that there was really one person missing. After watching the tape many times, they found that in the sacrificial procession of thousands of people, there were about twelve people who were there before the sacrifice, and disappeared after the sacrifice, and their disappearance must be the key to this sacrifice.
