"Click~" The sound of the medical room door opening made everyone look.
Linda came out and looked at Charles. She said nothing, but just shook her head slightly.
Charles felt a pang in his heart. He walked past Linda and came to the medical room filled with the smell of alcohol.
All the hair on Lily's chest had been shaved off. A transparent tube was inserted into her chest, which was covered with bloody bandages. The tube was connected to a small gear machine next to it. She was lying on the huge hospital bed, extremely weak.
"Squeak~squeak~" Lily called weakly.
The mice rushed to her from the mouse holes nearby and listened quietly to what Lily said.
After giving the order, Lily smiled weakly at Charles, "Mr. Charles, don't worry, I've already told them that they will listen to you in the future, but you can't starve them, you have to pay them, otherwise they will be angry."
Charles' eyes trembled slightly. He suddenly stepped forward and swung his hand vigorously, sweeping all the mice on the bed out, then carefully held Lily in his arms.
"Bandage, get the ritual ready, let's give it a try!"
Bandage, who had appeared at Elizabeth's door at some point, nodded silently, turned and left.
A bay east of Hope Island was occupied by the First Marine Soldiers of Hope Island, and no one was allowed to approach. Martial law was also imposed on Hope Island.
When Charles and others got out of the car, they had already arrived at the innermost beach of the heavily guarded bay.
On the white sandy beach, there was a concentric circle the size of a basketball court, with some blindfolded and gagged sacrifices lying crookedly. There were very few complete human forms, and most of them were various horrific deformed monsters. They were all death row prisoners who had failed in previous relic experiments.
There are triangular wooden towers around the circle.
"Mr. Charles... where are we?" Lily wanted to turn over weakly to check, but Charles covered her eyes with his hands.
"Lily, do you believe me?" Charles put his mouth close to her ear and asked softly.
"Um!"
Charles walked past the huge concentric circles and into the dark sea.
He kneeled into the water and glanced at the bandage crawling towards the tower. He slowly brought Lily in his hands closer to the water.
"Lily, do you believe me?"
"Um!"
Charles made up his mind, lowered his center of gravity, and watched Lily in his arms being submerged by the sea.
Lily did not struggle. Under the sea, she rubbed Charles' fingers gently with her cheek. Bubbles kept coming out of her mouth and nose, swaying towards the surface of the water.
Watching Lily gradually become silent in the water, Charles clenched his teeth tightly and his eyes were frighteningly red.
Suddenly Charles turned around and shouted at the bandage: "Start!!"
The bandage on the tower turned around and opened his arms towards the sea.
"Crack, crack, crack!" The sound of bones breaking was heard instantly, and the necks of all the sacrifices were broken to the left at the same time, but they did not die. Everyone opened their mouths wide and screamed hysterically.
Not only the spine, but all the bones in the sacrifice's body were broken. The broken bones pierced the skin and were exposed to the air with blood.
The smell of blood filled the air, and the scarlet blood gradually permeated the entire concentric circle.
"Nilgh"ri"~~ebumna"s~~"uhn"
"wk"hmr"ph"nglui"!!" The bandage's spell continued. When he was chanting the spell, his speech was very fluent and fast.
Along with the incantation, the sacrifices kept crawling in the bloody concentric circles like maggots, some gathered in the center, some crawled to the edges, and a five-pointed star of flesh and blood with five corners pointing to the left was quickly taking shape.
This pentagram is different from the one I saw on the seabed before. This time it is alive, and the sacrifices are spliced together, as if at this moment they form a whole, a huge starfish of flesh and blood.
Charles saw something seeping out from the pentagram, a strange, indescribable purple light.
Suddenly, he felt the tattoo on his neck begin to heat up, as if it came alive at that moment.
Charles turned his head away, and the temperature of his tattoo dropped slightly, but it did not stop completely.
The spells of the bandages and the howling of the sacrifices continued, and from time to time there were some strange noises. He felt something looking at him from the direction of the sacrifice, and then quickly disappeared.
As the last section of the spell was finished, everyone present felt a powerful will enveloping the entire bay. Their bodies became stiff and they didn't even have the strength to move a little finger.
This feeling came and went quickly. After just three seconds, the feeling disappeared. The moment it disappeared, everyone in the bay fell limp to the ground, even Charles was no exception.
Charles struggled to climb out of the sea, stumbled back to the beach, and shouted to the bandage on the tower: "Did it work?"
The bandaged man raised his hand, which was still dripping with blood, and pointed at the center of the concentric circles of blood and flesh.
Charles raised his prosthetic limb and the anchor hook shot directly onto the tower. He came to the bandage and looked down.
In the center of the huge twisted starfish made of flesh and blood, there appeared a huge tumor that looked like an eye, and this eye was constantly rising and falling as if it had life.
"in… "
"Thank you for your hard work! Buddy, I owe you a favor!" Charles pushed his feet on the high tower, jumped up, and jumped directly to the side of the tumor.
Charles wanted to touch it with his hand, but hesitated and pulled back halfway. "Lily?" he asked carefully at the ball of flesh.
"Puff~" A bloody arm instantly broke through the tumor and grabbed Charles' arm tightly.
Charles was delighted. He grabbed the arm and pulled hard. A thin girl covered in flesh and blood was pulled out by him.
Charles used his hands to wipe away the blood and flesh on the girl's face, and a delicate and small white face appeared in front of him.
He knew this face; this was the face that Lily had grown up to have.
The girl slowly opened her eyes. When she came to her senses and saw the face in front of her clearly, she screamed and then hugged Charles' neck tightly in ecstasy.
"Mr. Charles! I knew you would come back to save me!!"
"It's good as long as she's alive, it's good as long as she's alive." Charles suppressed his excitement and walked out of the concentric circle holding Lily.
All the crew members who saw this scene breathed a sigh of relief on their faces at the same time, and gathered around Charles. The atmosphere was greatly eased at this moment.
