"Look at this picture. Vivien pointed to the paper in her hand and said, "This big circle is the scope of the sacrificial circle, and the inside is the details of the magic circle, you can ignore these if you don't understand them." But if you look at the lines of radioactive distribution that I drew with dotted lines outside, I drew very shallowly, and from here, you see, these are not part of the magic array, and I didn't understand what these divergent energies were at first. But after careful consideration, I decided that these should be due to the failure of the sacrifice to cause the condensed high-intensity energy to be unable to be consumed, resulting in the energy recoil to form such an area. ”

"Will the sacrifice fail or will it have this effect?" Catherine asked, looking at the circle on the paper in confusion, "What's going on?"

"Such sacrificial failures are rare. Vivien explains, "When people make sacrifices to the gods they believe in, they send the highly condensed energy to the gods, who accept it and return it as a reward, which is a successful sacrifice." However, the way of sacrifice is often different, most churches condense the strengthened power of faith through some holy objects, and a small number of churches use the souls of livestock as the source of high-intensity energy, because the energy generated when the soul is broken is actually very strong, and then the strengthening of faith will bring great benefits to their gods. There are also some people who do not use livestock, but simply use intelligent creatures as sacrifices, because the energy produced by intelligent creatures when their souls collapse is the strongest, and these people are regarded as cultists, and the gods who dare to receive such sacrifices will also be regarded as evil gods by other gods. ”

"Of course I understand the way of sacrifice. Catherine said dissatisfiedly, "The point is that this is not the reaction when the sacrifice fails. ”

"That's why I'm emphasizing the way of sacrifice. Vivien's gaze crossed the faces of the three ladies one by one, "Since none of you have performed sacrifices, you don't understand the difference. Either way in the case of sacrifice, there should theoretically not be a failure, and there is only one reason for failure, and that is that the gods are not satisfied with the power of the sacrifice. Very dissatisfied, so that the punishment will be lowered, which is a sacrifice failure in the conventional sense. But there is actually a kind of failure, if sacrificed with the souls of intelligent beings. And if the sacrificed deity refuses to accept the sacrifice, then the energy becomes nowhere to go, and eventually leads to such a magical backlash. ”

The problem is that the believers are not stupid. Catherine asked rhetorically, "The gods refused once and then they sacrificed a second time, and the second time they refused they would be so stupid as to sacrifice a third time in the same way?"

"So now we need to look at a couple of other sites. "If there were several other sites with the same results as here, it would only mean one thing," Vivien said. ”

"Does it mean that there are still such stupid people in the world?" asked Indulgence when he suddenly interjected.

"Hey. I'm serious. Vivien was dissatisfied with the indulgent joke and said, "Let's go, take us to the next scene first." ”

The second scene was not far from where the four men were, and it took less than five minutes to detour through a path full of traps, and climb over a low fence to reach the second scene. The second scene was outdoors, and although the incident occurred about thirty days ago, the decomposition of the corpse was not as high as that of the first corpse. From the corpse, it can be seen that the victim is an adult male in his twenties, with a body characteristic of the Dark Alley District, and he is also an innocent person who was kidnapped. The second victim was even worse than the first, his limbs were cut off. The abdominal cavity is dissected, and various internal organs are removed from the abdomen, but the connection to the inside of the body is not severed, so that these internal organs can also maintain the life of the victim for a short time. In other words, the victim was cut off alive and his limbs were removed from his internal organs, and he watched himself fall apart and die.

"These people's hearts are twisted. With enthusiasm and indulgence, he couldn't help frowning when he saw the scene and said, "Why do you treat sacrifices like this?"

"Don't you know?" Vivien asked rhetorically, "The more painful the soul, the stronger the energy generated when it collapses, so the evil god sacrifice often has to torture the sacrifice to death. ”

"How do you know so well?" Catherine asked worriedly, "No, you want to try it too." ”

"Sister, don't make trouble. Vivien gave Catherine a blank look: "There is a very detailed introduction in the Star Library, and I once checked other contents for Lina before. By the way, I memorized this knowledge, and I thought that if I could use it in the future, it wouldn't be a bad thing to have more knowledge, but now I really use it. Let's go. After reading it here, it was a failure as well, go to the next one. ”

The third scene was relatively far away, and the four of them went around the empty central area for more than ten minutes before finally arriving there. The third scene was also outside, and the victim was a woman in her thirties. The victim's eyes and ears were destroyed. The tongue was cut out and there appeared to be no scars on the body. However, when Catherine touched the corpse, she found that most of the bones of the corpse had been destroyed and shattered, but the injuries were not visible on the outside.

"It seems that it is almost certain. Vivien's face was also a little unsightly, and she said, "Every sacrifice they made was a failure. ”

"To say they're all idiots is a joke. Indulgence asked, "But why do they keep offering sacrifices in the same way even if the gods refuse to accept them?"

"There is only one explanation. Vivien held up a finger and said solemnly, "The gods they believe in have fallen or fallen into a deep sleep. ”

None of the three spoke, staring at Vivien, quietly waiting for her next explanation.

"Whether it's the first, second, or third age, there are gods who have fallen. Vivien explained: "The so-called fall of the gods is that a few of the gods have actually been killed and fallen, but some of them actually mean that the gods have been severely damaged and fallen into a long sleep, and no longer respond to the call of believers. This situation is very dangerous for the gods, because if you do not respond to the believers for too long, it will lead to the loss of faith, and the more faith is lost, the slower the recovery of strength and thus awakening, and in the end, the loss is a complete death in a deep sleep. ”

"And what they did...... "Catherine asked."

"They're not stupid. Of course, there are ways to judge whether one's deity is dead or sleeping. Vivien continued, "If the gods died, no matter how useless the sacrifice was, they would not do such a useless act. And if the deity is simply asleep, then it is possible for this sacrifice to use the stimulation of energy to wake him up from his slumber. Of course. It's just a small possibility, so they keep making sacrifices, just to awaken their gods, and even if they fail, they don't give up. ”

"I see. Indulgence and enthusiasm nodded: "This explanation is indeed reasonable, that is. The traitor is actually a hidden believer of this god, so they will collude with each other to do this kind of thing. ”

"Quite possibly. Vivien nodded, "But it's hard to draw conclusions right now." ”

"But now there's a problem. Indulgence asked, "It's useless to just know the other party's purpose, and you still can't find the other party's trace." ”

"You're wrong. A smug smile appeared on Vivien's lips: "I've found it." ”

"Huh?" Indulgence felt that he couldn't believe that what the two of them and two Legendary-level thieves couldn't do in a few months, Vivien and Catherine could solve in a few hours: "I heard me right, you said you have found it?"

"To be precise, traces have been found. Vivien crossed her waist and looked up and laughed: "Even if these guys suffer from lack of knowledge, otherwise it may not be so easy to find them." From the moment their sacrifice failed, it was doomed that they would not be able to escape the pursuit of this genius. ”

"This also has something to do with the failure of the sacrifice?" asked Indulgence, "Can you elaborate on that?" ”

"If you are this victim. Vivien pointed to the corpse on the ground and asked, "If you are tortured to death like this for no reason, and your soul will be torn to pieces and turned into fertilizer after death." Won't you be filled with resentment?"

"Absolutely. Without thinking, he replied, "I will curse him forever." ”

"That's what I want. Vivien snapped her fingers, her eyes shining, "This resentment can greatly increase the energy that escapes when the soul collapses. Similarly, if a sacrifice fails mana backlash, the mana of those backlashes will be applied to the caster. Although they may have had the experience to defuse this backlash and not cause themselves serious harm after many sacrifices, no matter what they did, they could not prevent the resentment contained in the energy from reaching them, and this resentment was the best clue to find them. ”

"Resentment?" Enthusiasm's usually expressionless face showed a puzzled look, with a little cute blankness: "That kind of thing can't be sensed." ”

Indeed, this resentment is something that no one can feel. Vivien nodded, "Intelligent life has an innate disadvantage in this regard. It is often difficult to sense this particular thing. But animals like cats and dogs, on the contrary, are not intelligent, but their beastly instincts make them feel this resentment. Just like seeing people who have killed countless people, these small animals will be very sensitive to avoid or disgust. ”

"So do you need to find some cats and dogs?" asked, "Is this really safe?"

"Of course not looking for cats and dogs. Vivien smiled mysteriously and said, "Actually, there is another thing. They are far more sensitive to this resentment than small animals, and people with resentment are as obvious as beacons in their perceptions. ”

"What the hell do you mean?" Indulgence was unhappy with Vivien's pretense of mystery, "stop seducing our curiosity. ”

"Alas. Catherine understood what Vivien meant, pressed her hand on her bulging chest, and sighed, "Is it our little sister, Anne, who has woken up?" Came out to help.
