"Gudong." Li Long, covering his wound, swallowed hard. He felt something was wrong. Things seemed to be developing in a direction he could not imagine.
After Anna finished the painting, she proofread it carefully. She threw away the brass knuckles on her fingers and recited the sacrificial spell in a low voice.
Frightened Li Long secretly moved back, trying to leave the concentric circle. Although he didn't know what he was doing, it definitely didn't look like a good thing.
But his action immediately caught Anna's attention. She quickly stopped chanting, grabbed the glass ashtray next to her and smashed it on his head. With a muffled sound, Li Long's head was instantly broken and bleeding, and he fell in the blood, his life or death unknown.
After simply treating his wounds to prevent him from dying from excessive blood loss, Anna began to recite the sacrificial spell again.
The clock on the wall ticked away, and the time passed by, and Anna's deep voice echoed in the room.
This sound continued for a long time, until the sky outside began to get light and the blood on the ground had coagulated into blood scabs, but there was still no reaction in the room.
"No reaction? How is that possible?" Anna's face turned very ugly. She had chosen the sacrificial ceremony of the Earthsea's most powerful god, Fortan, but she didn't expect this outcome. There must be something between the Earthsea and the surface that blocked the influence of the god.
It is obvious that the current tranquility of the surface is clearly protected. If there is any influence, the current situation would not be possible.
"Is this really the end? Am I going to be trapped in this fragile body for the rest of my life?" Anna's face showed strong reluctance. "No, it may be because there are too few sacrifices. I need more people to try."
Thinking of this, Anna turned her gaze to Li Long in the center of the magic circle, but now was not the time to look for sacrifices, she had to calm down first.
Li Long woke up from his daze and found himself lying in his own doghouse. The wounds on his waist and forehead had been stitched together with some thread.
But before he could feel happy for even a second, he saw a brass chain tied around his neck. It was the standard dog chain used to tie up wolfhounds.
"Creaky~" The sound of the bedroom door opening made Li Long shiver all over. He saw the crazy woman who killed people last night walking in from outside.
The previous skirt has been replaced with an ordinary sportswear, and a white cotton mask is worn on her face.
She is now a completely different person than before, but for Li Long, this is not worth noting. He only noticed that the other person was holding a short blade as long as his forearm in his hand.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, okay? Auntie, I didn't recognize a great man, and you are a great man who doesn't bear grudges, so please let me go." There was a hint of crying in Li Long's pleading voice.
"Stand up and sit up straight." Anna's cold tone made Li Long do as she was told. Li Long was now completely convinced. Judging from her actions yesterday, this woman was simply a psychopath. If he provoked her to have another attack, he would be in trouble.
After Anna looked around the environment, she looked at Li Long in front of her with disdain on her face, "You are just a piece of trash, a waste living in the world."
"Yes, yes, you are right. I am trash. I am a battery thief. I rent this house. I only have 3,000 yuan in savings. I have nothing." Li Long nodded in agreement.
Anna half-knelt down and tapped the other person's cheek with the blade, her eyes narrowed slightly. "Now there is an opportunity for you to turn over. It depends on whether you can seize it."
Li Long couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, "Will this ever end? Who has such a lack of public morality? They didn't even keep an eye on such a dangerous lunatic and just let him get away like that."
A flash of cold light appeared, and a bloody mark was quickly cut on Li Long's right cheek. "When I'm talking, you'd better pay attention. My knife has no eyes."
"Your injury is not serious. Come with me later. I need you to help me sell something."
"Okay! You say! I'll sell whatever you say!"
Anna reached into her pocket and pulled out a small diamond that was clipped from the edge of her wedding ring. "It's the largest jewelry store nearby. You should know where it is, right?"
No matter where she is, first she needs money, and then use the money to get a legal identity, otherwise this kind of illegal identity will always be a hidden danger.
Looking at the little thing in front of him, Li Long's mouth trembled slightly. What else could he say now? He couldn't just say that this little piece of glass is quite unique, right
"Okay, you decide." No matter what, he had to go to a crowded place first. He had to get out of this woman's control as soon as possible. Then he would find a chance to call the police!
The dog chain around Li Long's neck was loosened, and he changed into new clothes and walked out with the help of Anna. The two looked very close, but the hard object against his waist made Li Long dare not move rashly.
He never forgot one thing: this woman was a lunatic, and a lunatic with a knife.
"Welcome, what can I do for you two?" In the lavishly decorated jewelry store, a round-faced saleswoman wearing a vertical collar cheongsam came up with a smile.
Looking at the enthusiastic salesperson in front of him, Li Long, with a pale face, showed a forced smile. "Do you recycle diamonds?"
"Excuse me, is this the product we sold in our store? Do you still have the invoice from that time?"
"It's not sold here, can you please accept it?" Li Long hinted to the salesperson while trying not to irritate the crazy woman, but it was obvious that the other party did not understand his real thoughts.
"I'm sorry, if it's not sold in our store, I'm afraid..." Before she could finish, a store manager in a suit came over. "Xiao Tao, pour a cup of tea for the two guests, let me come here."
Just as Li Long was about to speak, he saw the other person patting his shoulder comfortingly and giving him an understanding look, "Don't worry, I understand, I understand."
A man with an ugly face and a taciturn woman, and the first thing they came for was to sell diamond rings. He knew too well that business was the easiest to do in this situation, as the other party had no intention of bargaining and it was especially profitable.
Li Long, with a confused look on his face, was escorted to sit on the sofa before he could figure out what he understood.
"If it's convenient for you two, can you let me take a look first? How many carats did you buy? Which store did you buy it from?"
Hearing this, Li Long began to feel a glimmer of hope again. If the other party found out that this thing was glass, then he would be able to find something unusual. If this crazy woman made a scene here, that would be great. The other party would definitely call the police, and then he would be saved!
When the store manager saw Anna taking the diamond out of her pocket, he was shocked. "Oh my god, such a big noise? Did she even break the ring? Then we should get a divorce."
