Chapter 8: Demonic Rituals

Lu Yao observed that the forest tribe had no belief in gods, no shrines, and no totemic signs.

The shaman also did not show a dependence on the gods like the prophet, he was more like an experienced elder, relying on the accumulated experience of his ancestors to guide the entire tribe.

This is a good thing for Lu Yao.

If the forest tribe also worships a certain god, there is likely to be a clash of beliefs, and there may be a war between the tribes.

Now there is a wider road between the garlic tribe and the forest tribe. Houses have also been built on both sides of the road, including thatched huts of the garlic tribe and tree houses of the forest tribe. The two tribes became closer.

Lu Yao waited for the complete fusion of the two tribes.

Suddenly, he heard a faint ringing of his mobile phone.

The bell rang for more than twenty seconds, then again, over and over again.

The sound came from the outside.

Lu Yao lives in an old community, and his building is outside, next to a semi-closed alley. The alley is usually used for parking, and many cars are piled with dust.

The alley was deserted during the day, and it was quieter at night.

Lu Yao walked to the window and looked out.

There was only one concrete street lamp in the parking alley, and the dim light could only illuminate an area under the lamppost, and the rest of the place was pitch black.

Lu Yao saw something swaying from side to side under the light, like something hanging on a lamppost.

He sensed something was wrong.

The street lamp is about 20 meters away from the window sill, and you can see a rough one. Lu Yao looked closely and found that a person was hanging on a cement street lamp pole with a rope.

At this time, it was already night, there was no sound on the street, and the mobile phone bell was very clear in the alley.

Lu Yao immediately dialed 110.

"Hey, Uncle Policeman? I'm in the locomotive factory dormitory in the Jiuyuan community, and there is a person hanging up on a rope in the alley outside. Hurry up and come over here. ”

The police inquired in detail about the address and situation, and told him not to act rashly, and they came over immediately.

Putting down the phone, Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief. This kind of thing is still handled by professional police.

The previously dormant cactus retinue jumped onto the windowsill at this time. It was facing in the direction of the man in the alley, its spikes tense, as if it were very guarded.

"What? What did you find? Lu Yao subconsciously looked at this little thing.

The Cactus attendant nodded.

Lu Yao sighed: "It's a pity that you can't speak, it would be nice if you could speak." ”

"Great God Yao, you can speak, and your humble servant will speak."

The cactus servant knelt on the ground, a voice with a strange accent coming from its green body.

The voice is indistinguishable from a man and a woman.

Lu Yao was taken aback: "Can you speak?" ”

"You are allowed to speak, and your humble servants can speak." The cactus attendant said, "Otherwise, the lowly servant will not be able to make his own voice." ”

Lu Yao thought about it, the pixel world and the real world were broken, and there was no problem with this cactus ball being able to speak.

He asked, "What did you find the man who was hanged?" ”

"Kami-sama, it's a demonic ritual."

"Demons acquire faith through cruel and extreme rituals, and use fear and ignorance to manipulate believers. ”

Demon?

Lu Yao's face changed slightly.

"What's the difference between a demon and a god?"

"Lord God, the devil is the evil god of heresy."

Lu Yao understood.

Demon...... Another name is another god player. In addition to himself, there are other people who are also using the God Simulator to obtain sacrifices.

He immediately remembered what Sister Peng said that there are perverts in the Jiuyuan community, and he will strip people and hang them up.

Lu Yao secretly warned himself that he needed to be more cautious and not let people discover the simulator on his computer. Once the demon player knows about it, he will snatch his mana and attack him - that's no longer a game.

He found a small flower pot and told the cactus attendant: "Without my permission, you can't usually move or speak, you are a cactus, stay here, understand?" ”

"Yes, Kami-sama." The cactus retinue bowed.

In the parking alley, the ringtone of the mobile phone is still repeating, as if calling for help.

Lu Yao looked at the person who was being lifted under the lamppost again. He seemed tired, no longer shaking and struggling, and his physical features became much clearer.

Under the light, the man was wearing a black corset, which was supposed to be a woman. In addition, she was a little dirty, and there seemed to be a lot of blood on her skin.

Lu Yao remembered that there was still a telescope at home, and with the help of the telescope, his vision became clearer.

He actually knew the people under the lampposts. The victim was a barber who worked at a barbershop across the street from the neighborhood called Role Model Fine Shear, whose job name was Lisa, and her real name was unknown.

Because the price of the model fine cut is close to the people, washing, cutting and blowing a set of fifteen yuan, Lu Yao often cuts his hair there, so he has some impressions of Lisa.

She had dyed pale blonde hair, was probably in her early twenties, and spoke softly, without chattering or awkwardness.

After Lisa was rescued by the police, she was terrified, and she was wrapped in a coat given to her by the police without saying a word, and she was a little sluggish.

Her body was covered in blood with many strange symbols. The symbols looked like some kind of distorted Arabic numerals, connected to each other, like some kind of chain, wrapping her body in layers.

The police cordoned off the scene and also came to Lu Yao to make a record.

He told the truth about what he had witnessed, only concealing the part of the simulator and the demonic ritual.

After the police rescue and transcription were over, it was already two o'clock in the middle of the night.

Lu Yao was not sleepy at all with the [Energy Cane] in his hand, and staying up late was not a problem at all.

He looked at the cactus in the flower pot on the table, "You've been to our world before?" ”

"Your humble servant, this is the first time you have come to your divine realm. I am a god of the forest, but the god of the forest is in a different realm than yours, and there is water everywhere...... I was too small to comprehend what the divine realm was. ”

"What does the god of the forest look like?"

"Don't look at it directly. Just like you, the great god, I can't describe the face of a great being like you, and I can only vaguely see some shadows of the gods. ”

Lu Yao prying some information out of the cactus ball's mouth.

The cactus has no name, it is one of the many cactus retinues created by the god of the forest, and has spent his entire life in the temple doing chores. The god of the forest created cactus followers in his world, sent them into the pixel world, and never recalled them.

All it knew was that the temple was falling into disrepair, which meant that the god of the forest had fallen. Eventually, the cactus was buried in the ground with the collapse of the temple, and many years later it was dug up by the forest tribe in search of mushrooms and berries.

However, only gods can drive the cactus, and the pixel life can't restore the cactus to its true form at all, and can only feel that it is different from other plants.

"Since you are a relic left by the god of the forest, then you are called ......"

Lu Yao pointed to the cactus ball and said, "Little fire." ”
