Chapter 52: The Living Sacrifice
He was pushed out of the altar and out into the street.
Only then did we realize that the street outside was already full of people.
The streets are full of white candles and torches leading the way, just like last night's funeral procession.
Although I've seen it once, it's still so weird when I look at it now.
This time it was closer, and the few of us finally saw it more clearly.
It turned out that this person's face was wearing the same glamorous mask as the person just now.
At a glance, there is no end in sight to the crowd.
The layout of the whole funeral procession is the same as last night.
The old man's body was at the head, followed by the others.
The difference is that there are four more of us, and at the same time there are only four of us, dressed like children's paper figures.
The situation is getting weirder and weirder, and the fat man's body can't help but tremble.
Whispered in my ear.
"Brother Li, what should you do, have you fought it?"
"You kill a hundred, and I kill two hundred? You are Guan Erye, am I Lu Bu? I complained weakly.
If you want to fight, it's not at this time, the streets are full of their people.
We don't have a chance of winning.
Stubbornly, we continued to follow the mourning procession.
This time, walking in the middle of the line, as long as they reach the end, they will know where they are going.
But with such a weird atmosphere, I don't think we'll be safe and sound when we get there.
Feeling uneasy, we followed the team out of the city.
In the dead of night, the outside of the city is even more gloomy, and the night wind is constantly whistling past the ears.
This claustrophobic atmosphere seems to rush out at any moment some fierce ghost mountain spirit and swallow us up.
With a drum beating in our hearts, we pushed and pushed on in the crowd to move on.
Suddenly, a rustling sound reached my ears.
I quickly looked up and found that we had walked into a bamboo forest.
Bamboo and even yin things, especially bamboo forests.
There is a saying that the probability of going into the bamboo forest at night to hit a ghost is greater than going to the cemetery.
Just when I was getting nervous, the line in front of me suddenly stopped.
Is this the place to go?
My heart tightened, and I whispered to the fat man behind me.
"Be clever for a while, it may be dangerous."
Just as I finished speaking, a few people rushed over and pressed us to the front of the line.
When I came to the front of the line, there was a large black pit in front of me.
It was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
At this moment, a gloomy wind blew.
I just felt like I had been pricked with an ice needle.
At the same time, the dark clouds overhead were blown away by the gloomy wind.
The moonlight was sprinkled.
By the light of the moon, I finally saw the scene in the pit.
A pitch-black coffin, just lying in the pit.
The coffin was as black as an abyss, as if it could devour a person's soul.
A coffin in the pit? What the hell is going to do here?
Fear hit me, and I was too nervous to speak.
At this moment, the old man next to him suddenly recited the incantation again.
With the spell out.
The old man's body suddenly jumped into the pit and lay down in the coffin.
The old man next to him suddenly pulled out a black box from his bag.
Then we started applying it to our faces.
I looked at the fat trio, and their eyes were all covered in black paint.
I guess my eyes are similar to theirs.
"What are you going to do?" The fat man looked at them warily.
How many times the vigilance of birth and death has made the fat man realize that danger is coming.
But the fat man didn't know what the danger was, he just sensed it.
But I know all too well where this sense of crisis comes from.
At this time, what we smear on our eyes is like an attractant. Guide the corpse to eat us.
And the clothes we wear are a label that tells the corpse that we are sacrifices.
At this point I have understood that this is to feed us to the thing in the pit.
I was about to open my mouth when someone suddenly pushed me hard from behind.
Before I could react, it was dark, and several of us fell into the pit together.
As if sensing the arrival of food, the corpse in the coffin sat up suddenly.
I hurriedly stepped back, and the fat man gathered around me.
"What to do? Brother Li? ”
In this case, I became the backbone again.
I watched warily at the corpse in the coffin.
The corpse sat up suddenly.
I chuckled inwardly.
Sniffing the air, the corpse slowly turned its face to look at us.
The eyes without pupils have no life to speak of.
I frowned tightly.
Watch as the corpse slowly stands up.
My heart is beating faster and faster.
The fat man was clutching my shoulders from behind.
"Brother Li, what should I do?"
He kept repeating the same question as before.
The body was about to come out of the coffin.
There was no expression on that calm face.
He felt even more terrifying to me than a zombie.
I frowned and clenched my fists.
The fat man shook my shoulders vigorously.
"Brother Li, can you do it?"
I snapped back to my senses and looked at the body that had come out of the coffin.
"If you don't do it, you'll have to die here!"
With a roar from me, Zhang San jerked out the rope.
A sliding shovel then wrapped a rope around the corpse's feet.
Li Si took out the black donkey's hooves and dagger in his bag, and began to fight the corpse hand-to-hand.
The fat man touched his bag and found that he didn't have a shovel with him, so he looked at me.
Taking out the talisman seal from my bag, I stared.
But then it was replaced by a corpse whip.
Swinging the whip, I wrapped myself around the upper body of the corpse.
The lower body of Zhang San's corpse tied with a rope.
Then we swarmed up, and the four of us rode on top of the corpse.
It stands to reason that this corpse has almost been tamed by us.
But in the next second, something was wrong.
I felt a tremendous force coming from below.
Before I could come back to my senses, it was going on.
The corpse stood up suddenly.
The tremendous force directly lifted us out.
After I landed, I quickly told a few people.
"Get out of the pit, don't fall in love here, this thing is not easy to handle!"
Several people glanced at each other, and the fat man immediately knelt on one knee, his hands on top of his knees.
Zhang San and Li Si comprehended, stepped between the fat man's palms, and jumped out of the pit with the fat man's drag.
I was the last to rush over, but I didn't jump out of the pit.
Instead, he grabbed the edge of the pit, and the fat man took the opportunity to hug my legs.
Then Zhang San and Li Si exerted their strength at the same time and dragged the two of us out of the pit together.
The people around saw us escape from the pit.
He stood stunned, as if he had been frightened by us.
As we came out of the pit, the wind struck, and the dark clouds overhead completely dissipated.
The moonlight poured down.
At the same time, the body jumped out of the pit.
