Chapter 19: The Nightmare Comes

"You're saying that if we were sacrificed, my soul would disappear completely?"

Her face became very unsettled, she didn't want this to happen. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Completely gone? no, to be precise, to be sacrificed to the Ancestor of the Bloodline, and... Absorbed by it... Hmm... I don't know much about that either......" Alex replied with a frown, obviously not fully understanding what this Bloodline's sacrificial ritual was all about.

Absorb it, and that's not much better!

"Little girl, if the vampire really wants to perform some ritual, what will it do? will it be held at some special altar, or will it wait for some special moment such as 'full moon night'?

Thinking back to her original world about religious ceremonies and the like, she still didn't give up the possibility of escaping, and kept asking Alexie questions.

"Special altar?full moon night?hmm......"

However, hearing her words, Alexie began to hesitate, and after frowning her eyebrows and thinking about it carefully, she shook her head with great certainty: "There is no such thing, as far as I know, any form of magic ritual can be held anytime and anywhere, and the altar is sometimes needed, but it is only divided into types, and there is no clear indication of which altar to go to." Generally speaking, the most important thing for a magical ritual is the ritual carving array and the necessary magical materials, as long as these two things are properly prepared. In terms of time, some ceremonies have to be performed during the day or at night, but I have never heard of special occasions like 'full moon nights'...... Hmm, is that the rule of magic rituals in your world?

Interesting? Interesting!

There is no such rule, how casual should your world be? This is not scientific at all, right?

After listening to Alexie's answer, it seemed that there were 10,000 divine beasts named grass mud horses galloping past in her heart, and she almost couldn't help but complain in her heart. Originally, she wanted to follow the example of the protagonists of some movie novels, to escape while being escorted to the place where the ritual was opened, or to sneak away before that day, and she definitely didn't want to sit stupidly and wait for the ritual to come. But...... Dare to love, those myths, stories, novels and other things in my previous world are all made up?

Tut... What now?

"That'...... As for time and place, how do you think the vampire would have started its sacrificial ritual?"

She sighed helplessly, but decided to listen to the opinion of a native of the world.

Who knows, when Alex heard her words, a sigh also came from the other end of the heart-to-heart connection: "If the location is concerned, it is probably in this castle of theirs, right? In this kind of castle that they have been operating for at least countless years, it is still common to build some simple altars." As for the timing, I don't know...... Well, I can't help it anyway, so follow the guidance of the god of fate. ”

“......”

You're really responsible, hey, god of fate, if that thing could really guide you, you wouldn't be where you are now, would you? cheer me up, hey!

She was completely confused by the words of this magical girl who seemed to be beginning to give up on herself, and could only raise her head and ask the sky speechlessly, protesting against the owner of the contract for such a good thing. Although, now she does know a lot of things from this little girl's mouth as she wishes, but it seems that it is some bad news, and it has no effect on solving this dilemma. Her current situation can be said to be the rhythm of the same thing even if she gets through tonight and may not survive tomorrow, isn't this a cheat?

She pursed her lips, feeling quite helpless, and then, she moved her somewhat stiff arms again, but the result was a sharp pain like a break, as if deliberately reminding her that there were still not light injuries on her body, which made the current situation even worse, so that she couldn't help frowning, because she really couldn't think of any solution.

I can't fight, I can't escape, my hands are broken and injured, and I am still a sacrifice to be sacrificed with blood and soul, it can be said that I am doomed to death, what should I do?

Try to negotiate with that vampire, convince it to let it go with its incorruptible tongue, the trick of the big trick?

At the very least, it seems to be a sapient creature that knows the language, and there should be no obstacle to communication......

However, the problem now is that I don't have any weight in my hands to make that monster's heart move...... This is the basis on which negotiations are built!

Cut...... Sure enough, it still doesn't work?!

Did you accidentally click on the Purgatory difficulty mode when you came to this other world? Moreover, the character's luck value is set to a negative number?

Otherwise, how could she always encounter such unfortunate things?

Call......

Take a few deep breaths and adjust your somewhat fluctuating mood. In the whispering sound of sobs ringing in her ears from time to time, her eyes were closed, and her heart kept thinking.

In the end, how to solve this game?

......

After the night, before she could think of a way to deal with it, the cruel truth began, and a dull sound of the door opening woke her up, causing her to open her eyes suddenly.

It was none other than a strange man in a top hat she had seen at the city gate before, but instead of wearing a hat, he had long flowing blond hair.

"Alright, lovely and charming young ladies, it's time to chuang!"

A low, somewhat magnetic voice rang out in the room, and the man stood straight at the entrance of the door, quietly looking at the bewildered girls in the room, his handsome face with a hint of a smile, and he seemed to be quite gentlemanly.

However, the next scene shattered the illusion in the hearts of some awakened girls---

"You... Are you here to save us?"

A young girl who had cried alone all night, and finally fell asleep from exhaustion, was awakened by the voice, she rubbed her hazy eyes, and in a trance, she mistook the handsome man for her savior, and asked in a tone full of surprise.

She originally lived in a comfortable environment, but she rarely experienced any setbacks. It all started when her home was broken into by a fanged monster, and she watched her family be killed by the monster, while she was captured by it, and finally by another monster with bat wings who caught her in the castle and imprisoned. She spent the first night in a room where she couldn't reach her fingers, and the ups and downs of her mood, grievances and sorrows, had already made her want to talk about it.

Now, the savior she had been praying for in her heart had finally arrived, how could she not be excited?

Under the agitation of the mood, she ran over involuntarily.

However, her neck was choked by the man, and then, her whole person was lifted up in the air.

"Ah......h

With a scream, the girl grabbed the other party's right hand with her hand, her eyes were full of horror and disbelief, and her legs kept kicking and stepping, obviously extremely uncomfortable.

"......Saving you?"

The blonde man narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the change in the girl's expression, as if he was quite interested: "It's a pity that I've disappointed you, I'm not here to save you......!"

As he spoke, his left hand reached out to the girl's face and slashed lightly on it, and then, in her frightened gaze, the nail of his left index finger suddenly became long and sharp, like a knife that suddenly popped out, and quickly cut a blinding bright red on the girl's face.

“... You're all caught here by me. ”

As the words fell, there was a 'swish', and a pair of bats that were extremely familiar to everyone and looked like a nightmare unfolded behind him.

This astonishing change in the scene woke up all the girls who had the same misunderstanding as her, screaming again and again, and involuntarily retreating away from the man.

The man was not surprised, but only glanced at them, and then, putting the bright red on the tip of his left index finger, he put his tongue out and licked it lightly, as if he were tasting a rare wine. In that chilling smile, he showed two long, sharp white fangs.

"Well, it tastes good, you... Very nice!"

He let go of the girl in his hand, smiled at her, and said with an evaluation. But the girl turned even paler with fright, and sat at his feet, so frightened that her hands and feet were stiff and unable to move. When she regained her breath, she was just gasping for air, her chest heaving, her petite body trembling with fear, which was pitiful.

However, the blonde man looked away from her with an indifferent expression, and he looked up at the girls in the room, like looking down on a swarm of ants, and announced in a cold tone.

"The gates to hell have been opened for you!"

......

Vampires?

Standing in the corner of the room, watching in silence what was happening, a girl with a rough strip of linen on her right hand lowered her eyelids, but a pair of blue eyes glittered.

It looks like what I'm worried about is finally coming, this monster's purpose is to capture so many people!

Is it really for that damn ...... Sacrificial ritual?!
