"I choose number one!"
"Number two!"
"I'm number one too!"
No one paid any attention to Hu Xiaodong's questions, and the survivors mechanically chanted slogans with expressionless faces.
The old woman took a pen and paper, and when the person below reported a number, he would make a stroke under the corresponding name.
To be honest, the atmosphere is very strange. Even a fool can tell that these guys have no good intentions.
Lao Xu did not stop. He looked around with his eyes, trying to find possible ways to escape from the current predicament.
Unfortunately, the iron bars were very thick, completely sealing them in around the dining table.
Nowadays, even if Lao Xu has the ability to fight the enemy, he cannot use it against the survivors in front of him.
damn it! !
Lao Xu was upset that he didn't realize that the manor had set a trap.
You must know that when he meditated at the dining table and started eating, he had doubts about the black curtain above his head.
Coupled with the old woman and the owner's various questions and conversations, there are even more doubts.
But even so, Lao Xu still failed to make any substantial counterattack.
"Okay!" As the woman said "ok", the place suddenly became quiet.
Hu Xiaodong, Lao Xu and others all looked sideways, waiting quietly for the woman to continue playing tricks.
Putting away the ballpoint pen, the woman exchanged it with the guard beside her.
Forget it, he shook the notebook in his hand and said impassionedly: "Through everyone's efforts, we have selected the target. More importantly, there are two people with the same vote this time, which means that two of them will be baptized."
"Bah, bang, bang!" There was no reason for applause, and the survivors in the audience clapped their arms and wrists to express their joy.
In all cases, Hu Xiaodong, Lao Xu, and Huo Yuankai were all confused about the situation.
"What on earth are you doing? What do you want to do with us? What did you just say about the same vote?"
"You" became "you", and the change in title alone already explained Hu Xiaodong's psychological changes.
His intuition told him that what the woman was doing was anything but simple.
"Haha, of course it's a good thing. Haven't you always wanted to integrate into us? The ceremony just now was for this purpose."
Hu Xiaodong has heard this reply n times, but what he wants to know is: "Please be more direct, what is this vote for?"
"You said you wanted to contribute to the manor, and now with the consent of the manor owner, you have been given this honor in advance." I don't know if it's true deafness or a pretense.
All in all, after the woman hit the iron fence and fell down, she entered a state of intermittent inaudibility.
He once again ignored Hu Xiaodong's question and was busy answering.
In desperation, Hu Xiaodong stopped wasting his efforts to create an atmosphere for the woman.
Sure enough, Hu Xiaodong stopped asking, and the woman focused on him instead.
"According to the results of the vote just now, you, and you, the two of you are qualified for baptism."
Her fingers touched Huo Yuankai and Xu Renjie respectively, and the woman's lips curled into a sneer.
The smile that falls on people's eyes really gives people an indescribable and unknown fear.
It is said that humans are animals that are good at camouflaging. The changes the woman showed at this moment were really eye-opening to Lao Xu and others.
You know, when she first arrived at the manor, Lao Xu and others felt that the woman was like an older woman, considerate and considerate.
But I never thought that beneath his good-natured appearance, there was such an unknown sinister intention.
After hearing what the woman said, the survivors below all applauded for no reason.
Seeing this scene, Lao Xu's heart suddenly fell to the bottom.
It’s over! These guys are definitely going to take action against their own members.
Although he still didn't know what the other party was going to do, Xu Renjie knew that something was up to him when he saw the excitement and cruelty in the old woman's eyes.
"Okay!" The old woman raised her hand and gestured for everyone to stop.
After the room returned to dead silence, the woman spoke: "Xu Renjie, Huo Yuankai, congratulations to you two. It's an honor for you to have the opportunity to participate in our final dedication ceremony."
"I don't understand what you are talking about? Please speak clearly."
Things have reached this point, and the other party has made it clear that they want to harm themselves.
In this case, it is meaningless to reason with the other party and be polite. There is no need for Lao Xu to continue to conceal his identity, so he asked solemnly.
The old woman glanced at Xu Renjie: "What we are going to do to you is a very sacred thing. You will use your flesh and blood to fulfill your oath."
It's quite a ridiculous statement, but it's also a very prudent statement.
Especially the word "flesh and blood" during this period sends chills down one's spine.
Although the old woman still didn't directly say what they were going to do, the things that were revealed during the period already explained a little bit.
"What on earth are you going to do with my brother!?" Hu Xiaodong tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. Needless to say, he had feelings for Lao Xu and others.
At this moment, the woman sounded like she wanted to have Lao Xu and Huo Yuankai operated on.
How could Hu Xiaodong be calm in such a situation?
"Xiao Hu, why are you so excited? Everything we are doing now is for you. In the end, you have to thank your two friends. It is because of their great sacrifice that you can truly join us in the future. In a harmonious and friendly big family.”
"Okay! In order for us to carry out the following ceremony smoothly, we have to ask you to cooperate in doing something."
"What's going on?" Hu Xiaodong took two steps back alertly.
The old woman clapped her hands, and then the guard stepped forward and threw a few binding strips into the cage.
"What does it mean?"
The factual meaning is already very clear, and Hu Xiaodong’s questioning is simply unnecessary.
"Pick up these plastic bags and tie each other's hands. I hope you can cooperate. You know what we are doing is a very sacred thing. Don't tarnish it."
It's quite surprising. The old woman's words and actions at this moment are exactly the same as what people in the Dark Church do.
"Why should we listen to you? Is this how you treat guests at your manor? We have always followed our duties since we came in, and we have always said that we want to integrate with you and work for the manor, but you...are you treating us like this? ?" Hu Xiaodong scolded angrily.
After hearing this, the old woman sighed softly: "I have said before, Xiao Hu, your temper is a bit too impatient. What happened to us? We did this completely considering your thoughts. You still want to How many times do I say this to you before you understand that what we are asking you to do now is to integrate you into the path we must take."
"Really? Then this iron cage, this binding belt, and this so-called ritual... Humph, I think you are just doing evil!!"
After all, the word was spoken.
After hearing the words, the old woman's face flashed with displeasure, and then she said coldly: "Hu Xiaodong, don't push yourself too far. Our owner of the village gave you the opportunity to sacrifice yourself because of your piety. Don't drink the wine as a penalty if you don't drink the toast." (To be continued.)
