XXXV. Altar
readx;
When the Messiah awoke, he found himself still lying in Ian's arms. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Ian is also asleep, and from the perspective of the Messiah, it is even clear how many eyelashes Ian has.
It was the second time she had looked at Ian so closely, and the last time she had woken up in his arms after falling unconscious. In this way, Ian was the first man to sleep with her, even his own mother, who had only done so when he was very young.
Looking at a man's face so closely, the Messiah was still a little unaccustomed. To be honest, Ian is not ugly, on the contrary, he is very delicate, but he is too raunchy, his hair is long, but he looks oily because he has not been washed for a long time. Messiah's eyes widened, refusing to let go of every detail of Ian's face.
She had always found Ian strange and contradictory. He is like a person who has never been through strong winds and waves, he can laugh all the time, he can talk bad words all the time, as if he has no heart and no lungs. But in fact, he was the one who experienced the greatest catastrophe in the world, and she didn't know how many people had died in the Cloud Disaster. I only saw one word mentioned in the report, and the blood flowed like a river.
He was a boy crawling out of blood, but he smiled like he had never been stained with dust.
Is the city too deep, or is it just nature?
The Messiah didn't know, she was just curious. It stands to reason that she should have hated Ian's type of talent, because he and the brother she liked were completely opposites. But for some reason, she couldn't hate it, and she clearly heard Ian's words: "I won't let go." ”
When he woke up, he was in his arms.
The Messiah looked so carefully that he didn't even notice when Ian had woken up. Ian looked down and stared at the Messiah. Slowly, Messiah's face turned red and he hurriedly broke free from Ian's arms.
Ian touched his nose and thought to himself why I said that there was a puppy staring at me in my dream, and it turned out that someone was really staring at me.
The two sat looking at each other, both a little embarrassed, not knowing what to say. After being silent for a while, Ian was the first to speak: "Well, don't be sad." ”
Messiah looked gloomy and nodded silently. She cried and cried, and it wasn't so unacceptable, people can't be resurrected after death, not to mention that she was mentally prepared. And after sleeping in Ian's arms, she felt a lot more relaxed.
"Okay. Ian stood up and scratched his head, "Let's study this chamber." ”
Messiah's expression became serious and he nodded. Indeed, finding the cause of his brother's death and leaving here with his body is the most important thing at the moment. Then the recovered Messiah began to take a serious look at everything in the chamber. Actually, it's the platform.
She carefully studied the basin-like platform and frowned, "Is there blood in here?"
"Uh-huh. Ian walked up to a corpse, lifted the sleeve of the corpse, pointed to the wound on his arm, and said, "And it's their blood, and everyone here has this wound, which means that everyone has let blood into it." Oh, I haven't looked at your brother yet. ”
After obtaining the consent of the Messiah, Ian lifted the sleeves of the Kyomon Gate again, and sure enough, like the others, he had bled out. So now the question is, what are so many people bleeding for?
The Messiah was also thinking about this, and she circled around the stage a few times, muttering to herself, "Could it be that some kind of mechanism requires a certain amount of blood to activate?"
"Possibly. Ian nodded, and at the same time pointed to the remaining four holes, "What are these four holes for?" I looked before, and these four holes are all down. In other words, there is no way to go up. ”
Messiah's face changed slightly, and he walked to the four holes in turn to check, and found that they were all downward, after all, they came out of one of the holes. After thinking about it, the Messiah said with certainty, "These should be the four entrances. After all, this snow-capped mountain is so big, and it is not impossible to have four entrances. Brother's team must have come up from another hole. ”
In this case, it is true that the four openings can be explained. Ian nodded, and then as if remembering something, he asked, "How many people are in your brother's team, can you be sure that they are all here?"
"My brother's team is the same as ours. The Messiah said, "A crusader squad is twenty men, plus twenty-one of my brothers. There were ten people in the snow ditch outside, and there were eleven people here. Well, no one is missing. ”
Ian nodded thoughtfully, but for some reason, he felt a little weird, but he couldn't remember what was weird.
After solving the problem of numbers, the Messiah went back to studying the table. After all, it is very likely that the platform is the key to the death of these people, Ian saw that these people's faces were very pale, and asked with some uncertainty: "Could these people have died of excessive blood loss, their faces are so pale." No, this should be frozen. ”
The Messiah lowered his head, carefully studied the size of the basin, kept gesturing with his hands, and finally said in a trembling voice, "You are right, they did die of blood loss. ”
"Huh?" Ian was stunned.
The Messiah pointed to the basin and said, "There is a shallow line of blood near the top of the basin, which proves that the blood they put out at that time was indeed almost filling the basin." It is difficult to accept so much blood, divided into eleven people, even if it does not die of excessive blood loss on the spot, it will definitely fall into a state of extreme weakness. In that case, they will definitely not be able to withstand the cold here after living in the south for a long time, and they will all freeze to death in the end. ”
As the Messiah spoke, his eyes reddened. Thinking that her brother was frozen to death, her heart was like a knife.
Ian was silent, first of all he had to admire the Messiah's reasoning ability, he also looked at the basin, but he couldn't think of so much, and the Messiah was able to reason quickly. Secondly, he did not understand why so many people, preferring to risk death, would want to let their blood go?
The Messiah wiped his tears and said affirmatively, "This should be a mechanism, and it needs a certain amount of blood to open. I think it's very likely that the next passage will be opened, which is the real World Tree. ”
Ian subconsciously raised his head, that's right, this snow-capped mountain is very high, and the two of them have walked for so long, they must have only walked a small part. It's possible that there is a mechanism, but in the end, the mechanism is not opened? They all die here, what's the use of letting so much blood?
Why don't they go back and renovate and call more people, is it because they don't know the road?
Thinking of this, Ian was suddenly stunned, and then suddenly reacted, muttering, "No, no, no, not all of them died here." ”
"Huh?" Messiah looked at Ian with some confusion.
"No!" Ian exclaimed, "No, no, there are more than twenty-one of them, just as there are more than twenty-one of them on our team. ”
Ian pointed to himself, "Do you understand? We have a superfluous person like me in our team, and there is one in that team!"
The Messiah then remembered something, and his face changed drastically: "You mean, the guide?"
