Chapter 673: Sacrifice and Blood Sacrifice Ritual
Guardian of the Earth is the result of Danas's own translation.
According to the meaning of the word, it can also be translated as guardian of the earth or protector of the earth.
But whatever the translation, Danas had never heard of it.
He turned his head and glanced at Yamu, both of whom looked puzzled.
After a little thought, they decided to follow the group and see what was going on.
Danas took out a spatial artifact, activated the mirror space, and escaped into it with Yamu.
The two flew in the air above the convoy and followed them out of the block and into a remote mental hospital in the suburbs.
When the car stopped in the open space in the front yard, three female nurses with good figures greeted them, laughing with the field staff who led the team, and patiently picked up the crazy woman.
Two of the young female nurses supported the madwoman and led her to the white-walled building in front of her.
Another older middle-aged female nurse with blond hair stayed behind and signed a handover agreement with a man in black.
After returning the signed paper to the female nurse, the man in black looked at the crazy woman's back and sighed.
"Poor man, too...... How did she get out this time? ”
"Not Liya yet." The middle-aged blonde nurse whispered, "This girl has moved her heart of compassion again." ”
"I guess so." The man in black sighed, and then wondered, "By the way, why didn't you see her this time, and was locked up by you?" ”
The blonde middle-aged female nurse shook her head: "She was fired by me." ”
"Expulsion?" The man in black was a little stunned, and then shook his head and sighed, "It's really ruthless!" ”
The blonde middle-aged female nurse said softly: "This is for her good, her personality is really not suitable for this job." ”
After a brief chatter of gossip, the group of men in black entered the car again and left in a hurry.
The blonde middle-aged female nurse also put away the handover agreement and walked towards the psychiatric hospital.
In the mirror space, Danas and Amu looked at each other, still not understanding what this place was.
"The Riddler, get out of Gotham!"
Danas couldn't help but hold his forehead and let out a grumbling.
Yamu frowned and said, "Why don't you ...... Grab someone to ask? ”
Danas immediately lowered his arms and glanced at Yamu with blazing eyes.
……
In the director's office of the mental hospital, a balding old man in a white shirt is humming a last century song, drinking coffee while flipping through a suspicious magazine with a bikini girl on the cover.
Suddenly, a large hand reached out of thin air from the old man's side and grabbed him by the collar.
The bald old man was stunned for a moment, and before he could exclaim, he was dragged into the unknown.
The dean's room was left with only a dropped magazine, a cup of spilled coffee, and an empty, self-rotating office chair.
In the mirror space, a bald old man in disheveled clothes sat on the ground, looking at the two tall figures in front of him with a frightened face.
Both men were dressed in black, hidden in the shadows by the window of the mirrored space office, their bodies shrouded in a large black cloak, revealing only two black masks that covered half of their faces.
Wait, black half-face mask?
The old man calmed down from his fear, carefully examined the appearance of the two men, and focused his gaze on the triangular ears above the black mask for a moment, and then couldn't help but exclaim.
"Batman?!"
“……”
Yamu was full of black lines, and couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "Damn, don't you have any other masks?" ”
Danas shrugged his shoulders and said innocently in his eyes, "And the Joker Mask and the Flash Hood, do you need it?" ”
Yamu imagined the appearance of interrogation wearing a clown mask, and sighed dejectedly: "Forget it, it's still Batman!" ”
After speaking, he stepped out of the shadows, met the frightened gaze of the bald old man, and without saying a word, he first punched him in the face, and then glared at him viciously and said, "Say it or not!" ”
The bald old man was stunned by his actions, covered his face and collapsed on the ground, unable to speak for a while.
"Still a hard ......"
Yamu nodded, and as he walked forward, he clenched his fists and gurgled.
The bald old man was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and he didn't care about figuring out the identities of these two neurotics, and immediately shouted angrily: "I said, I said! If you want me to say anything, you ask! ”
When the words fell, Yamu stopped, turned his head and looked at Danas in surprise: "Didn't I ask?" ”
Danas thought for a moment and nodded with certainty, "You didn't ask. ”
Yamu turned his head to look at the bald old man on the ground with a frightened expression, and a stiff smile tugged at the corner of his mouth under Batman's mask.
"I'm sorry, my fault."
The bald old man was even more frightened by this smile.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Yamu immediately put his arm into the black bat cloak, and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me honestly, who are you and what kind of organization are Earth Guardians." ”
The bald old man was slightly stunned, and then his eyes dodged: "This ......"
Danas sighed and said, "It seems that he doesn't want to say it." ”
Yamu also raised his hand very cooperatively, and on his right hand was a fiery bat finger tiger.
Seeing this scene, the bald old man's psychological defense line was completely defeated.
He had just left that bloody ghost place, and with years of credit, he had earned such an idle clerical job, but he didn't want to be abused to death by two inexplicable psychopaths.
The bald old man moved back in horror and shouted, "I said, I said, we are the logistics department under the Earth Guardians, and we are responsible for the aftermath of some sacrifices' families. ”
"Champions of the Earth is a multinational organization formed by various countries, and it is also the highest body that administers blood rituals......"
Sacrifice? Blood rituals?
Yamu raised his eyebrows, his expression still a little puzzled.
Danas frowned and thought for a moment, his face suddenly becoming strange.
"Wait, Yamu, I seem to know what kind of world this is......"
"What world?"
"A very interesting horror movie, cabin in the woods, have you heard of it?"
Seeing that Yamu was still dazed, Danas knew that he must not have seen this horror movie, so he stepped forward, knocked him unconscious under the frightened gaze of the bald old man, and then turned his head to look at Yamu.
"This is a film that satirizes modern assembly-line horror films, and the plot and setting in the film are very innovative."
"If I'm not mistaken, there are ancient old gods sleeping in the ground of this world, these old gods are not very good-tempered, and they have to go crazy almost once a year, and only by offering sacrifices to the old gods on time can we maintain the stability of humanity and the earth."
"Because of this, the human race has secretly formed an institution responsible for managing the blood sacrifice ceremony."
"And this institution selects five lucky winners every year as sacrifices to appease the wrath of the Old Gods."
Yamu couldn't help but say, "Five, why five?" ”
Danas shrugged his shoulders and said: "If it were a movie, I would tell you that this is a template for satirizing the protagonist group of modern horror films, but since this is a real world, then I can only say that this is a hard and fast rule of the blood sacrifice ceremony." ”
"Five human beings, five sacrifices, and you can't choose randomly, you must choose qualified sacrifices according to a specific identity and personality, and the younger the better."
Yamu frowned tightly, and the more he listened, the more angry he felt.
He held back his anger and asked, "What kind of character?" ”
Danas said softly: "With the change of the times, the characters of the five sacrifices are also constantly changing, and at the beginning they should be prostitutes, warriors, wise men, fools, and virgins. ”
"Now it's a slut, an athlete, an academic, an idiot, a virgin."
"In addition to the human design, the order of sacrifice is also exquisite, and it must be carried out one by one in the order I just mentioned, and there must be no mistakes in any link in the middle, otherwise it will anger the old gods and cause the earth to fall into the apocalypse."
Speaking of this, Danaston paused, turned his head to look in the direction of the ward where the mad woman was, and said softly: "That black buddy said that Paris's madness is because of the disappearance of her son three years ago, and her son is a doctor who moved out of the low-cost housing complex with his mother, so Paris's son should be the scholar among the five sacrifices three years ago......"
Yamu snorted angrily, and looked at the unconscious old man's eyes became unkind.
Danas stopped in front of him and sighed: "Don't be impulsive, think about the energy level of this world, those sleeping ancient gods are very powerful, and they can't compete with the current technology of human beings. ”
"In the big picture, sacrificing five young people to save the world is really the best option."
Yamu glanced at him and said, "Danas, do you think this is right?" ”
Danas shook his head and said, "It's not a question of right or wrong, personally, if someone asks me to choose between five people and the whole world, I will definitely beat him up and let him know who is in charge, but ...... What if this person is Boss Lin? ”
Yamu shook his head and said, "Boss Lin won't ask this kind of question, he will only kill the person who asks this kind of question." ”
Danas said helplessly: "The metaphor, this is just a metaphor, I mean that in the face of absolute power, the option of killing the person who made the question will not work, and you must choose between the individual and the whole." ”
"From a personal point of view, I also feel that this organization is not about personnel."
"But from the point of view of all humanity, they did save the world......"
Speaking of this, Danas changed his words and said helplessly: "Forget it, it's really not suitable for us to discuss this kind of issue, let's just go and talk to those old gods!" ”
"Since the Lord God has found this world, it is impossible to let go of those old gods."
"If you find the old god, you should also find the main god of this world......
As soon as these words came out, Yamu and Danas finally came to an agreement.
The two threw the unconscious, balding old man back into the office, and then quietly left the asylum, and began to search for this year's five lucky ones according to Danas's memories.
