The scarlet moonlight reflected on the snow, and the whole mountain was dyed red.
The cries that were getting closer and closer were like a icy cold wind, piercing directly into the bones of people. An Wujiu felt that his hands were already frozen, as if they were stuck to the sarcophagus, and he couldn't let go of them at all.
The blood moon in the sky was getting bigger and bigger, as if it was slowly approaching, and the day had come to an end in front of it, forcing it to the last ray of light, and the whole earth would be shrouded in blood.
"Is it there!"
An Wujiu looked towards the direction pointed by Fujido Sakura, it was the top of the mountain, there was actually a strange blue flame burning on the top, eagles and vultures were circling above the flame.
Thick fog rose up all around, and the fog engulfed the entire snow-colored plain bit by bit, enveloping the hill, perhaps because of the scarlet moonlight, or perhaps because of their bodies in the sarcophagus, faintly floating in the thick fog. There was a foul smell.
Everyone worked together to carry the sarcophagus and walked towards the top of the mountain. When they got closer, they realized that the fire was burning higher than a person. The sarcophagus was placed heavily on the ground, snow and dust flew up and got into the nostrils.
An Wujiu coughed a few times, looked down into the distance. The weird "scream" still didn't disappear, but appeared irregularly, elongated, and penetrated the entire water city.
A voice appeared, but it wasn't the holy voice they were familiar with. It was a strange language they couldn't understand. It was vague and viscous, as if it came from deep in the throat.
After hearing this, everyone looked around, only feeling that it seemed to come from this raging blue flame.
But An Wujiu didn't think so.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get started."
He turned his head and looked at the person who said this sentence.
That was Noah, her eyes were staring straight at the flames, completely reflecting the flames in her eyes, turning into a beautiful and strange blue, and her face had completely lost all life, as if she was a fake, controlled puppet.
She repeated the sentence just now, as if controlled by the flame, driven by the flame to speak a language they could understand.
An Wujiu called her softly, so Noah twisted his neck stiffly and stared at An Wujiu.
In an instant, the blue that spread from her pupils faded away like a contraction, and she returned to normal.
"What's wrong? Brother Wugui."
Her voice was full of childlike innocence, but it fell into An Wujiu's ears, but it overlapped with the voice in the flame just now.
An Wujiu felt extremely uncomfortable, as if a sharp sound of metal friction flashed repeatedly in his head, "What were you looking at just now?"
Noah raised his hand and pointed to the fire.
It was the fire of God, she said.
An Wujiu didn't understand what she meant, and the next moment, the flame issued a new command, also in a vague and strange unknown language.
And Noah spoke and passed it on for everyone.
"Start offering sacrifices, humans who know the oracle, everything about you belongs to the Supreme Lord."
As soon as the words fell, An Wujiu felt his hands move uncontrollably!
Like him, everyone is like this. They are actually driven by some unknown mysterious power to automatically make various actions. Lao Yu pulled Andrew out of the sarcophagus, Matsuura laid him flat on the ground, Wu You pressed his chest, Nanshan fed him a cup of liquid from the stone tool when he was unconscious, Yang Ce and Zhou Yijue lifted him up That heavy stone disc, set it before the flames.
Noah beat the drum stiffly one after another, while Megan placed the stone frame and sharp thorns in place, Fujido Sakura held the thing that looked like a musical instrument in both hands, slowly raised her hand, and held it Place on lips.
Fujido Sakura blew this ancient instrument, hoarse, low-pitched and sharp, and blended with the heavy drum, each sound was like a sharp knife, piercing their chests once and for all.
Fear crawled slowly on the skin like a reptile.
An Wujiu's hands were trembling, his arms were stiffly folded inwards, the dark power seemed to be looking for something from him, his hands groped uncontrollably, and finally grasped the sharp knife.
His legs and feet were also out of his control, and he moved forward step by step, approaching Andrew's body.
"Come on, human."
"Everything you have comes from me, the sun, the rain, the strength, the mysteries of life, the precious knowledge to survive... these are all given by me."
His body sank suddenly, his knees couldn't support him, and he knelt on the ground.
"I gave you life!"
The voice was empty and loud, and they were just a few human beings on the small hills in the ice and snow world, standing in the middle of the thick fog, unable to see everything around them clearly. Only this round of bloody full moon above the head, it is getting bigger and bigger, oppressing them heavily, the edge of the moon seems to be touching the top of the mountain.
It's so big you can hardly see the border.
The pain in Shen Ti's heart was a vague and unreal feeling. He found that everyone seemed to be driven by an unnatural force, doing regular movements, like a machine.
Even An Wugui is the same.
He saw An Wujiu kneeling in front of Andrew, with his hand drawn from his robe, holding an obsidian sharp knife gleaming under the blood moon.
"Come on, use these holy hands to pierce his chest!"
"Obsidian cut out the heart and dedicated it to the ice-blue holy fire!"
An Wujiu's whole body was icy cold, and he almost exerted all his strength to resist the power that enveloped him.
So his hands began to tremble, and his heart suddenly stopped for a moment.
Then, unexpectedly, his heart beat violently, so fast that it didn't seem like a human being. A scalding hot current was pumped out of his heart, and it spread quickly and violently to the whole body one by one.
Green, large expanses of green are flowing in this land, as if they are about to flow into An Wujiu's eye sockets.
So he fell backwards heavily, but he didn't fall on the icy snow, but in Shen Ti's arms.
His eyes were closed in pain, his fingers released, and the sharp obsidian knife fell to the ground.
"No blame, no blame..." Shen Ti tried to wake it up, but to no avail, before he woke up, the sharp knife beside them was suddenly held by a pale hand and taken away.
Shen Ti raised his head, his pupils dilated instantly.
It's Noah.
Noah held the obsidian sharp knife with two small hands, raised it high above his head, and then slammed it down.
"Noah—"
Just when Shen Ti hugged An Wujiu and shouted, the warm liquid splashed on his face, and his left eye was covered with a scarlet montage.
"Heart, I need a heart that's still beating!"
The voice whispered repeatedly, and everything in front of him was as strange as a nightmare.
Shen Ti frowned, hugged the fainted An Wujiu by the waist, and prepared to come here, but the next second, the vultures and eagles circling in the sky swooped down, aiming at Noah.
Noah bent down, intending to put the offering in his hand into the concave circle in the center of the stone plate.
Shen Ti originally wanted to watch, but now he is no longer the original him, he knew that if it was An Wujiu, he would definitely save Noah.
So he did that, he threw Noah down and covered Noah's face with his body. Those black raptors swooped down on her hand and snatched the sacrifice that was still beating in her palm.
They tore it apart and ate it, and it disappeared in an instant.
Shen Ti raised her eyes and met Noah's blue eyes, a weird smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, as if she felt ridiculous and proud that he saved her.
It must be an illusion.
Shen Ti backed away, trying to reach out to pull Noah up, but Noah just stretched out her bloody hand, but Shen Ti didn't hold it.
The instrument in Fujido Sakura's hand let out a mournful cry, and Shen Ti vaguely heard Noah spit out a few words, but couldn't make out the content, and could only see the movement of her lips in the mist.
There was a strange noise behind him, Shen Ti turned his head and saw the sarcophagus was sealed with a lid, and a scrawled stone tablet broke through the ground and stood in front of the sarcophagus.
The stele bears the inscription Andrew Greco.
"Sleep peacefully, heavy body, your heart is with God."
Noah's rosy lips opened and closed, translating the strange language of flames with an innocent voice.
"I need to swallow enough of your fragility, confusion, anger, fear, despair, deepest despair, enough to make me reborn."
"You will witness my return."
After saying this sentence, Noah also fell down on the snow. At the same time, the originally burning flame instantly shrank into a spark and disappeared in the wind.
The dense fog gradually dissipated, and the people controlled by unknown forces gradually regained their clarity, while the corners of An Wujiu's mouth, who was sleeping in Shen Ti's arms, were filled with blood.
"No blame, no blame!"
Wu You, who woke up from the hallucination, also found An Wujiu who was unconscious. He immediately squatted down and stretched out his fingers to detect An Wujiu's breath.
He's not breathing!
"Brother Wugui!"
Shen Ti didn't believe it, he stretched out his hand to press An Wujiu's chest, pressed it tightly, and felt that the lines under the skin on the back of his hand were almost squeezed out.
At this moment, An Wujiu's heart skipped a beat.
He slowly opened his eyes.
To Wu You's surprise, his pupils turned green, and a blood moon was reflected in the emerald green pupils.
But in only two to three seconds, An Wujiu's pupils gradually became darker and darker, and finally returned to his own black pupils.
"it's over?"
An Wujiu's voice was weak.
Wu You nodded, "It's over. Let's... let's go back."
After he finished speaking, he heard Noah's scream.
Fujido Sakura hugged her body and covered her eyes.
This evening, they seemed to have experienced the most terrifying nightmare, an uncontrolled hand, an uncontrolled life.
Shen Ti also saw An Wujiu's eyes, the moment he woke up, his eyes were exactly the same as his own.
On the way back to the temple, An Wujiu's mind kept replaying the images of the evening sacrifice, interlaced with his childhood memories, as if he had seen these images when he was a child, perhaps in a book, or perhaps It was dictated by his mother at his pillow before going to sleep.
He raised his hand and grabbed the clothes on his left chest.
Why was Shen Ti the only one who was completely out of control during the sacrifice
Why can he also break through that kind of spiritual imprisonment, while others can't.
An Wujiu knew that Shen Ti was special, but he wanted to know why he was also special.
There was a dead silence in the temple. They changed from twelve people when they came here to eleven people, and one person turned into a tombstone on the top of the mountain. Everyone silently ate and swallowed the dry tortillas to maintain their basic ability to survive, while the indelible fear of a few hours ago was lingering in their throats.
An Wujiu knew that he would soon lose his eyesight, but he was also about to receive an important message.
He drank the water in the stone cup, and the liquid, so cold that it was almost congealed, slit his throat like a sharp knife. An Wujiu saw Fujido Sakura's trembling hands, and Lao Yu's absent-minded pupils.
He thought, if they stay here for a long time, maybe they will all lose their minds.
The holy voice appeared at this time, "Everyone, the curfew time is coming soon, you have worked hard all day, please go back to your room to rest as soon as possible."
He specifically instructed, "Today, each of you must sleep peacefully in the corresponding room, because someone will leave tonight, and you have no antidote for resurrection."
As soon as the voice fell, the lights in the hall flickered.
Everyone followed the instructions and left here in a daze. Shen Ti wanted to follow An Wujiu, but he stopped him.
"I'm afraid you will foul because of me."
An Wujiu raised his face, and pressed a kiss on Shen Ti's slightly cold lips.
"I'll be fine." He comforted Shen Ti.
In the dark corridor, Shen Ti watched An Wujiu's back move away little by little, he didn't turn around until he reached the corner and left.
In the room, the biting cold wrapped An Wujiu's body. Before his eyesight disappeared, he took out the three easter egg cards he had obtained from the panel.
"Would you like to extract the Easter egg content now?"
An Wujiu responded to the system tone, "Yes."
Today's sacrifice aggravated the fear deep in his heart, he was afraid that he would really lose Shen Ti and his companions.
The first card jumped in front of him, the back of the virtual card was facing An Wujiu, on it was a brightly colored egg.
"Please click."
An Wujiu stretched out his index finger, touched the card, the card shook, and eventually shattered into countless light spots, and those light spots gathered again to become a new white card.
"Sorry, you didn't draw any function cards for your first easter egg card."
Is this a waste of one
An Wujiu's palms were almost sweating, he chose an orange one again, took a deep breath, and touched the easter egg on the card.
The shattered light flew like fireflies, swirled in the crimson room, and finally condensed into a brand new card, this time the card was still white.
An Wujiu was a little disappointed, feeling that his luck was indeed a bit off.
If possible, he would rather find someone to smoke for himself, but after thinking about it quickly, he found that few of his companions and friends seemed to be lucky.
The white card was flipped over. Unlike his expectations, this time the card had a beautiful picture on the front, a beautiful witch holding an ancient clock, and the SS logo was printed on the lower left corner.
"Congratulations, you have obtained a time conversion card."
time shift
An Wujiu read the instructions on the card.
"This card is limited to one use. Players can use their life points to exchange time before the end of the game, so as to realize time travel back. All the life points of the player can be converted into half of the game progress to reverse the flow, and so on. Players who use the card can Select the time that needs to be converted, and the system will automatically deduct the corresponding life value."
This function is stronger than An Wujiu imagined. He thought it was to prolong the game time, but according to the introduction, it is backtracking.
Even if it can only be used once, it is already very powerful, and he can go back to a time when a companion was not in danger.
An Wujiu saw a glowing orange dot in the lower right corner of the card, he clicked it, and other cards were displayed in front of him.
"The following are skill cards of the same type, which can also be obtained by drawing easter egg cards."
An Wujiu took a look, there were three cards in total, and sure enough, there was also the extended time card he imagined, the middle one was a time card for stilling others, and the other one was a time reversal card.
The one on the far right has SSS printed on it and appears to be one of the rarest cards.
The pattern on it is many interlaced silver-gray lines, overlapping the same Milky Way.
It says space-time card.
The introduction of this card is very simple. The player who holds this card can dissolve the boundary of time and space, reverse and accelerate time and space, but correspondingly, the player will pay a huge price, such as losing almost all life points, or reducing 90% of Ability, this price varies from person to person.
The stronger the skill, the more terrifying the price.
An Wujiu wanted to click on the third one, but the system reminded him that he had exhausted the number of draws for the day and could not draw.
At the same time, An Wujiu lost all his eyesight and fell into darkness.
But after a while, a bloody arrow appeared in front of his eyes, pointing in the direction of the door.
"It's getting dark, gravekeeper, please open your eyes."
"Please go to the cemetery and check whether the players who sacrificed today are good or bad."
