665. Half-Ghost Sacrifice
Bago's stunned question.
Shen Li's words were casual and bland, as if he had already accepted his doomed ending, and just asked him casually.
Bago, who didn't know why, suddenly got his answer in his throat, making it impossible for him to speak.
He didn't say anything, and Shen Li, who was watching him quietly, was not surprised, and turned his head away as expected, unwilling to look at him again.
Bago's heart tightened, and he blurted out, "Sacrifice requires your blood and your souls. But don't worry, they ...... It's going to be neat and clean, and it won't make you too painful. ”
"What if they don't do it simply and neatly? The half-ghost clan has always been xenophobic, if they have the intention to torture us and see us die in a little pain, do you want to let the backup second person go up and do it? Shen Li said calmly.
Bago's lips pursed, "No." There are three people in charge of the sacrifice, they are all veterans, and they will let you ...... Go as soon as possible. I won't torture you on purpose. ”
Shen Li sighed.
At this time, the person who went to get the medicine returned.
Bgo took it and wanted to hand it to Shen Li, but saw Shen Li turn over and turn his back to him.
He paused slightly, and finally only put the medicine on the edge of the stone bed, and said in a low voice, "Now you can trust me." Take it, you'll feel better. When you die, for the sake of acquaintance, I will bury you. ”
With that, Bago's turned.
Shen Li soon heard the sound of footsteps leaving, the sound of the stone door closing.
She sat up on the surface of the bed and looked at the medicine next to the bed, which was a few pills.
She couldn't bet on the drug's authenticity, and she couldn't fully trust Bago.
Can't eat.
Shen Li put away the medicine and meditated to recover.
Time passed little by little, and in the evening, the half-ghost people came to deliver another meal.
Seeing that Shen Li still didn't move, this time they left without saying anything.
The cavern was quiet again.
Shen Li looked at his watch and counted the time.
It starts at eight o'clock. The half-ghost clan should have brought them over in advance to prepare. From here to the place of sacrifice, you have to travel for twenty minutes at the earliest, plus other preparations, at the latest, before half past seven, the people of the half-ghost clan will come.
There is still an hour.
Shen Li silently lived in his mind the plan to act at night, and he was also distracted by thinking about who the young man below was.
In fact, Shen Li already had a vague guess, but he couldn't be sure yet. It doesn't matter, after the sacrifice, she will be able to verify her guess.
Time flew by, and it was already past seven o'clock.
Before Shen Li's expected time, the stone door of the cave was opened, and someone from the half-ghost clan came in.
"It's time to hit the road."
The man's tone was cold, but his attitude was quite polite, and then he waved his hand and asked the person behind him to step forward and tie up Shen Li.
Shen Liting cooperated with them, and under their vigilant gaze, he honestly left with them.
Not long after going out, Shen Li saw the three mound lords and others, who had also been tied up and guarded, waiting for the convergence.
With Shen Li's instructions in advance, the four of them were not very surprised, and Li Xiangying and Xu Ling had already recovered from their previous confusion.
Only the Lord of the Three Mounds looked at Shen Li worriedly, and saw that she looked pretty good, and her face was not very pale, so he put a little bit of heart.
Li Xiangying originally wanted to come forward and talk to Shen Li, but the people of the half-ghost clan didn't give her a chance and urged them to leave quickly.
In the push and push, the five gradually came together.
The Lord of the Three Mounds was closest to Shen Li, and immediately asked her in a low voice, "Can it be recovered?" ”
Shen Li's chin bowed, signaling that he didn't have to worry.
Lord Mitsuka looked at her seriously, "Don't be so risky next time." ”
The people of the surrounding half-ghost clan thought that the Lord of Mitsuka also knew what was going on because of the movement in the afternoon, and was talking about Shen Li's search for death, so they ignored it.
Shen Li sighed: "Okay." ”
Li Xiangying, who was behind, also hurriedly stepped forward and asked meaningfully: "Really?" ”
Shen Li nodded calmly.
Li Xiangying took a few steps behind, stood side by side with Xu Ling, and exchanged tacit glances with him.
Elder Li walked at the back and decided to hide more tightly after a while, so as not to drag them back.
Walking and walking, Shen Li, who was paying attention to the surroundings, quickly determined that the atmosphere of the half-ghost clan tonight was particularly solemn and depressing, and it was really as the young man said, and no one of the clansmen saw it, and there was no sound.
It wasn't until outside the residence of the previous master that Shen Li could see people.
The guards are surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and the leader is Bago, who is calmly telling a few people something, and it is obviously important to see the other party's reaction.
The man who brought Shen Li and the five people told them to stand honestly in the same place, and waited for Bago to finish speaking before they stepped forward to say goodbye.
Bago's eyes swept over Shen Li's five people, and he paused for a few seconds when he touched Shen Li.
The next moment, Lord Mitsuka took a step forward, blocking Bago's gaze at Shen Li.
Bago looked at Lord Mitsuka for a moment, looked away, and continued to instruct the people around him.
Shen Li didn't mind having the Three Mounds Lord in the way, because in this way she could better observe the layout of the guards around her.
Not only her, but Li Xiangying and Xu Ling were also quietly observing.
Not long after, Bage came over and called a few people to escort Shen Li and the five others into with him. But after a while, he hesitated to change it to not have to do anything, and then turned and went out to the entrance of the cave.
The surrounding half-ghost clans looked at each other, and their vague gaze was on Shen Li.
Shen Li was inexplicably looked at by them.
Li Xiangying whispered to Xu Ling in the back, "Don't you think that Bago's attitude towards Shen Li seems to be very different?" ”
"Huh?" Xu Ling was shocked, looked at Bago in front of him, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Miss Shen is good, it's normal for others to like her." But now I have a little sympathy for Fu Sanye. ”
"Me too." Li Xiangying nodded in agreement.
As soon as they spoke, the air around them seemed to drop a few degrees.
Shen Li turned back directly: "Shut up, don't talk nonsense." ”
Lord Mitsuka also stared at the two of them with death.
Two: "? Good! ”
Elder Li shook his head in the back.
Li Xiangying and Xu Ling had already shut up late, and the surrounding half-ghost clansmen all looked at Shen Li in shock, intentionally or unintentionally.
Shen Li even noticed that the back of Bago's in front of him was stiff.
Shen Li: "........."
Forget it, she endures.
When the sacrifice was stopped, the attention of the half-ghost people was no longer on her.
The group entered the cavern.
The interior was arranged as Li Xiangying had previously described, but the huge wooden cross in the middle was covered with a black cloth, surrounded by countless sumptuous offerings, and a circle of foreigners.
The foreigners were basically dead. He may not have been dead for a long time, his body is not completely rigid, and he is tightly tied and placed on his knees, hanging his head, facing something under the black cloth in the middle. In front of the foreigners, there was still a barrel, and I don't know what it was used for.
There were also three deer men dressed in strange robes and wearing green ghost fanged masks in front of the wooden shelves, each holding a sharp and shining knife in their hands, staring coldly at the foreigners.
