Chapter 20: More Offerings
Lying flat on the ground, Eight seemed to realize that he was in danger, and writhed wildly, muttering something in his mouth, as if begging for mercy and cursing.
No one paid attention to him, and the cunning Lu Lie had already hid to the side early so as not to be noticed by anyone. The old octopus's tentacles wrapped around his body like a sponge, slowly lifting him to the top of the room. Countless tentacles flowed like water on his body, wrapping his whole body into a cocoon.
Only Eight's head remains.
Eight's muffled noise quickly turned into a terrible scream, like some kind of animal in the middle of the night. His eyes turned red, and he looked at the two dwarfs with the most resentful eyes, as well as Lu Lie who was standing in the corner:
"I will always remember you, you three damned cowards, who sent me to the execution ground......"
"I'm just dead, turning into a wave of energy, I will never forget you, I will definitely come back......"
"Certainly, certainly, certainly......"
"I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you......"
By the end, his angry shouts had turned into a scream of unknown meaning. As his body was sent higher and higher, countless clusters of flesh and blood hanging in the air seemed to sense something, and all of them automatically gathered around, vying to close with him.
Lu Lie witnessed the whole process of the matter below, how this poor little dwarf was assimilated little by little, little by little.
Finally, a new, small Aguston hangs from the ceiling wall, which is the original body of Eight.
(He'll stay here for billions of years until this room-sized universe is destroyed.) οΌ
Lu Lie thought in his heart.
(I don't know how this poor creature survived such a long time.) οΌ
......
Seeing that his sacrifice to the God of the Universe had been safely offered, Fifteen nodded with satisfaction: "I really don't want to stay in this ghost place for a moment. Hey, that octopus monster, hurry up and get the God of the Universe to fulfill his promise and send us out of this hellish place. β
The old man octopus said slowly, "Please rest assured, since you have already offered sacrifices, the god of the universe will definitely obey its promise and send you out of this universe. β
He turned around, leaving only Lu Lie with an abominable back: "Then, you can start to choose, who to send out of this universe?"
The two future people were stunned: "What...... What do you mean?"
"Who are you sending out of this universe? According to the agreement, we have offered Aguston to the satisfaction of the god of the universe, shouldn't we all be allowed to leave here?"
The old man laughed, "It seems that you didn't understand what I meant...... I've made it very clear before that a sacrifice of Aguston can only be replaced by one person to leave here. That is, now your condition - at the expense of one of your companions, you can only let one go. If you want the second one to leave here, you have to sacrifice another person. β
"You damn bastard!" Dwarf fifteen sprang to his feet, and at the same time pulled the stun gun in his hand, and slammed the white light on the octopus old man. The old man octopus didn't even let out a muffled snort, and fell to the ground along with the thousands of tentacles on his back.
"You bastard, you deceived us all. Angry and furious, the fifteenth dwarf stepped forward and kicked the octopus old man hard.
But the old man did not answer him, but just lay on the ground and kept foaming at the mouth.
Lu Lie watched this scene from a distance, and the familiar ominous premonition rose in his heart again. He knew that all this would not be so simple, offering No. 8 as Aguston was just the beginning, the so-called god of the universe, and the old octopus man, would not let them leave this universe so easily.
And his ultimate goal is to let his group all die here without making a move.
"Alright, alright. Stop fighting. With a burst of punches and kicks from the fifteenth, the octopus old man lying on the ground had his eyes bulging out, and he was about to die. The companion of the future man hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the fifteenth, "Now you can still let us go out alone, if you kill this bastard, we won't even be able to get out alone." β
Eight angrily kicked the old man in the face with one last kick and scolded, "You're cheap." In Lao Tzu's hometown, if you dare to play Lao Tzu like this, you don't inquire, what will be the final end. β
The strange thing is that the octopus old man has been beaten from beginning to end, but he always has a faint smile on his face. He whispered in an inaudible voice: "You will all become the Arguston of the true God." β
......
Lu Lie and the two future people all sat down and formed a circle. You look at me, I look at you, staring at you with big eyes, and I can't say a word for a long time.
In the end, it was the fifteenth who broke the unbearable silence:
"I said, don't be stunned. Since you don't open your mouth, I'll be the one to do with this wicked manβ"
"Isn't it just another Aguston, in this case, at least two people can be sent out of this ghost place, and it will not be a loss. Think about it, who will be this Aguston, sacrificing the ego and perfecting the ego. When I leave here and save our original universe, I will definitely erect a statue for the victims. β
Lu Liexin said: There are only three people left, and these two future people should push me out, a "primitive person".
But the scene was unexpected again, and the other futuristic man sneered: "Oh, why do you have to choose one of the two of us to be this Aguston, you can't sacrifice the ego and fulfill the big self? β
No. 8's temper tantrum jumped up again, and he pounced on the other party with his teeth and claws: "Why are you so selfish? It's even more selfish than No. 15! I'm the greatest scientist, artist, strategist, educator, and poet among us, what happened to you staying in this small universe for millions of years to protect me? Don't you even have these realizations?"
Not to be outdone, the other futuristic man went to find his own weapon. Seeing these two guys move again, Lu Lie couldn't help but laugh: the golden heart on his body was so heavy, or was there only three people left, and they still had no intention of sacrificing themselves.
