-2- Bloodline Sacrifice Ritual

Pain.

Pain!

When Charlotte awoke again, she found herself hanging from a metal cross, with four large iron nails piercing her left and right palms and two crossed soles.

Gurgling blood flowed down the cross like a stream, pouring into the grooves that had been carved into the ground.

Charlotte couldn't help but see that it was a circular pattern centered on a cross in the dim crimson moonlight of the skylight, intricately like a magic circle in a novel, surrounded by living corpses dressed as maids and waiters.

The Countess of Castell stood at the forefront, exuding a chilling aura.

She was facing herself, holding a blood-red fragment in her hand, as if torn from some ancient text.

Seeing Charlotte waking up slowly, the Countess smiled slightly, revealing two sharp teeth:

"Yo, my darling, you're awake."

Charlotte's heart sank.

Hanging on a cross is not a good situation.

Combined with the magic array under him that looked inappropriate, and the living corpses around him who were obviously praying for some kind, Xia Luo, who was familiar with the online text, had roughly guessed that he was probably being used as a sacrifice by the other party.

This world ...... It's not an ordinary otherworld!

The brain was racing, and Charlotte sniffled, and the crystal tears instantly fell down like silver beads, leaving two crooked tear stains on the pink and lovely face.

"Woooooooooo......oo Grandmother ......"

She spoke, looking at the Countess of Castel with a weak, pitiful, helpless cuteness.

Seeing that pitiful and unbearable appearance, even the Countess of Castel, who had turned into a monster, was slightly stunned, and the terrifying aura on her body was faintly stagnant.

But soon, her gaze became deep again.

Scarlet eyes flickered slightly, and greedy gaze slowly slid over Charlotte's body:

"What a touching little goblin, it's a pity that he can't be accepted as a charming blood servant."

As she spoke, she cracked her big mouth and mocked like a hunter teasing her prey:

"Poor little thing, now...... Just don't pretend. ”

"Little Charlotte has long since passed away, and you are just the true spirit of the saints of the Holy Court that I summoned to complete the final blood sacrifice ceremony."

"Huh...... With the true spirits of the saints as a sacrifice, I am sure that my lord will be quite satisfied! ”

The secret of the crossing was exposed, and Charlotte only felt a tightness in her heart.

But then comes a glimmer of doubt.

The true spirits of the saints of the Holy Court?

What the hell is that?

As if thinking of something, Charlotte's heart moved slightly.

She quickly stopped sobbing and said quickly:

"Grandmother, no, Countess Castel, I think...... There may be some misunderstanding between us......"

The old woman, however, was in no mood to continue chatting, and shook her head mockingly:

"Misunderstanding? Hey, senseless struggle. ”

After that, I saw her take out a filthy cross from her bosom and aim it at the girl hanging in the air.

The old man's crazy voice trembled slightly, and his expression was hideous and fanatical:

"Come on! Holy Spirit! Let me admire your imminent depravity and painful and distorted expression! ”

A deep light bloomed on the cross, with an aura of chaos and evil.

In the cruel and tyrannical gaze of the Countess of Castell, the filthy light shone on Charlotte's body.

"Wail! Scream! Feel...... Belong to the pain and despair of darkness! ”

Not good!

Seeing the evil halo that made people feel vomit just by looking at it, Charlotte's heart tightened.

She was so frightened and angry that she couldn't dodge, so she could only turn her head sideways, close her eyes and grit her teeth.

The light of evil chaos enveloped the girl like sludge thrown into the world.

However, the imaginary pain did not come.

Except for feeling a little cold, and there seemed to be countless crazy low whispers in her ears, Charlotte's body didn't feel any discomfort.

Well?

She tentatively opened her eyes.

The Countess still held aloft the filthy cross in a frenzy, and her expression was extremely hideous.

The light of the cross flickered and flickered, and the power was overwhelming, enveloping everything.

The basement is cold and lonely, as if falling into an abyss.

But other than that......

Nothing happened.

Charlotte's expression was a little dazed.

Although she didn't speak, she was a little confused and confused, and seemed to be mixed with a look of joy and apprehension, as if to say:

That's it?

The old woman was equally stunned.

Her brow furrowed slightly, and she turned over and over to look at the filthy cross in her hand, as if trying to figure out what was wrong.

After some scrutiny, she frowned and raised the cross again, and then once again stirred up her magic, and sang in an even more frantic voice:

"Scream! Beg for mercy! Cry out in despair in the light of the fallen! ”

The deep light bloomed again, enveloping Charlotte's body, more evil and chaotic than the aura just now.

This time, however.

Still nothing happened......

Charlotte:......

Countess:......

The two looked at each other.

The atmosphere is a little embarrassing.

The old woman's expression instantly turned hideous, and the terrifying magic erupted like a volcano:

"Why! Why don't you have the Divine Light on you?! Why haven't you been corrupted by the Light of the Fallen?! ”

The tsunami-like pressure was undulating, accompanied by a crazy roar, bringing unprecedented pressure to the girl.

However, Charlotte quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Combined with the old witch's previous words, she had already roughly guessed what the reason was.

The girl regained her composure, and her voice had a hint of confidence:

"Countess Castel, I think...... There really is a misunderstanding between us. ”

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? ”

The old woman's eyes were scarlet, and her expression was as dangerous as that of an angry beast.

Charlotte pondered her words for a moment and said:

"You're probably holding some special ceremony, right? And this ritual is also related to the saints of the Holy Court? ”

"What I'm trying to say is that I'm not actually a saint of the Holy Court."

"That...... You seem to have pulled the wrong person. ”

The Countess of Castel was silent.

In the next second, Xia Luo only felt a strong spiritual force descending on him.

After a while, the spiritual power dissipated, and the countess's expression became extremely ugly:

"No Divine Seal......"

"It's really not a saint of the Holy Court!"

"How is that possible? How is this possible! ”

"Since you are not a believer in the Holy Court, why are you summoned by the Holy Spirit Summoning Ceremony?"

How do I know?

I just fell asleep in a daze after working overtime all night, and who knew that I would wake up in this hellish place!

It's even a different gender!

Charlotte complained in her heart.

Her face remained unchanged and she shook her head:

"I don't know."

"When I woke up, I was already like this."

As she spoke, she pondered her words, smiled a smile that she thought was friendly, and continued:

"Countess of Castel."

"As you can see, I am not the true spirit of the saint you need, and it doesn't seem to make the slightest sense for you to sacrifice me."

"Perhaps, we can talk about ......"

"Talk? Do you feel eligible? ”

The Countess of Castel's eyes flashed with a mocking expression.

Her killing intent was so strong, it was as if she had completely attributed the failure of the summoning to Charlotte.

Xia Luo had no doubt that if she couldn't give a suitable reason, the old witch in front of her would definitely kill her without hesitation in the next second.

Pressing down the apprehension in her heart, Charlotte pretended to be calm and continued to smile:

"Not necessarily, I feel that I have more to do you by being alive than a doomed sacrifice."

"Summoning me here may be another surprise for you."

The big husband can bend and stretch.

Now in the midst of a life-and-death crisis, facing another crazy old woman who is obviously mentally unstable, Charlotte has no pressure at all.

Face and self-esteem or something are put aside for the time being.

Let's find a way to survive first!

"Oh? To put it this way...... Do you have some abilities that I didn't know about? ”

The Countess of Castell raised her eyebrows slightly.

This time, she looked at the girl carefully, and seemed to be a little interested:

"Tell me, what do you do?"

Charlotte smiled and continued:

"For example...... I know a lot about how to cook, all of which you've never seen before. ”

After saying that, she saw the gaze of the Countess of Castel move slightly.

This was to be expected, and from the shattered memories inherited by Charlotte, the Countess of Castel was indeed a gourmet.

It's just that......

"If it's just food, it's not enough to buy your little life, my little Charlotte."

The Countess shook her head slightly.

"I will still be in business, and now that the Castel family has an estate, I am confident that it will be expanded several times in ten years......"

Charlotte groaned for a few seconds and continued to increase her weight.

The Countess of Castell seemed to be moved thoughtfully.

But in the end, her gaze at the girl remained unchanged, and the inquiry was more meaningful.

Charlotte gritted her teeth:

"I also know a lot of knowledge, which is not available in this world, and each one has the potential to bring change to this era!"

"I ......"

"Wait!"

Hearing this, the Countess of Castel suddenly interrupted her.

I saw her squint her eyes slightly and asked:

"You just said ...... Do you know a lot of knowledge that is not available in this world? ”

Charlotte hesitated:

"Yes."

"You...... From another world? ”

Charlotte subconsciously wanted to deny it.

But feeling the aura of being locked in her dark, she hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slowly:

"Yes...... Target. ”

Anyway, the secret of the swap has already been known.

Plus one from the other world, it seems like it's nothing.

The Countess of Castel was silent again.

Gradually, I saw that the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, turning into a satisfied smile, and that smile continued to bloom, becoming more and more wanton, and finally turned into an excited laugh:

"Huh...... Hehe...... Hahaha......"

"Hahaha!"

"Good! Very good! Very good! ”

Seeing that the other party was so happy, although Xia Luo felt a little strange and uneasy in her heart, she was temporarily relieved after all.

Burying her jealousy, grievance and anger deep in her heart, she suppressed her apprehension and nervousness, tried to make a relaxed appearance, and said with a smile:

"Looks like you're satisfied."

"So...... Can you put me down first? ”

As she spoke, she twisted her body, which was almost unconscious, and sighed pretending not to care:

"Honestly, it's quite uncomfortable to hang here, I feel like my blood is running dry......"

"Poof......

A dull pain suddenly came from her abdomen, and Charlotte only felt a strong feeling of vomiting rising up, and couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.

She slowly lowered her head with an incredulous expression.

Beneath her, a fist-thick, hideous black tentacle pierced her stomach and twitched wildly inside.

On the other side of the tentacle was the Countess of Castel, who was smiling and expressionless.

"For ...... Why ......"

Feeling the rapidly dissipating vitality, Charlotte's eyes widened, a little unwilling, and a little confused.

The old woman sneered:

"Why? Of course, according to the ritual, the sacrifice continued. ”

As she spoke, her expression became hideous and greedy, bloodthirsty and fanatical:

"Hehe, Surprise, you're right, you're really my Surprise!"

"Soul of the other world, this is an existence that is a hundred times more precious than the true spirit of the saint!"

"What are holy saints?"

"As long as the blood sacrifices to you, I will receive the gift of the Lord and receive unprecedented divine grace!"

Grass!

Is it like this?

Charlotte scolded secretly.

She lifted her head with difficulty, and with the last bit of strength she pulled out a smile at the old woman:

"Okay...... You're paralyzed. ”

The Countess of Castell frowned.

Although she didn't understand the other party's awkward words, she instinctively felt that it should not be a good word.

Glancing at the increasingly round red moon outside the skylight, she grinned cruelly:

"The auspicious time has come."

"My surprise...... Enjoy the last crimson moonlight! ”

After speaking, I saw her put down the dark cross, hold up the blood-red stump, and her body was full of light.

Charlotte only felt that she was locked by a strange power that was difficult to describe in words, and instantly lost control of her body.

The blood in his body gradually boiled, and the hideous wound on his abdomen seemed to be constantly burning, which was a sign of the beginning of the sacrificial ceremony......

Get.

I'm about to kneel after just two days of crossing, and I'm afraid there is no more miserable traverser than myself.

Charlotte sighed in her heart.

I knew it was going to be like this...... After the crossing, she shouldn't be so reserved, she should have studied her new body first.

Thinking so crankily, time seems to slow down like never before.

At the same time, the subdued prayers of the Countess of Castel and the living corpses slowly reached Charlotte's ears:

"Wandering between the abyss and the master of the world,"

"The embodiment of depravity and decay,"

"The Savior of the Blood......

"The Great Lord of the Blood Demon - Abaddon!"

"Thy lowly slave, pray for thy bounty......"

"I would like to offer the most precious blood of the Castel family and the souls from another world, and ask you to grant eternal youth and vitality to the lowly slaves......"

Well......

This prayer ......

Seem...... Somewhat familiar......

Just as Charlotte's consciousness was blurring, her vision suddenly brightened.

In the scarlet light, a series of simple and strange words slowly appeared in front of her eyes:
