After a while, there was a knock on the door and Winnie walked in.
"Miss Maya, it's time to go downstairs."
Li Fuguang turned his head and noticed that Winnie had changed her clothes.
A pure white and flawless skirt would look very innocent and beautiful normally.
But in today's sinister atmosphere, it looks a bit like a common ghost in ghost movies.
At this time, Li Fuguang didn't take Winnie's white dress seriously until she walked down the second floor and saw a group of maids in white dresses in the hall. Her heart almost stopped!
Except for her, everyone else was dressed in white, without a trace of color.
The vast expanse of white was so terrifying.
Li Fuguang took a breath of cold air. Does praying need to be so rigorous? Why are you wearing all white? Scared someone to death!
She looked down at the large tutu she was wearing again. The golden rose-colored trim looked very eye-catching even in the dim light of the candle.
Isn't it? Could it be that the cheap father didn't want others to take the limelight of his coming-of-age ceremony, so he asked his servants to dress simply?
No need to!
Li Fuguang was still a little embarrassed when Winnie helped her to the center of the hall, but when she saw her cheap father and brother, she didn't have so much time to think about miscellaneous things.
Although Bo Rui and Herbert were not as plainly dressed as the servants, they were mainly dressed in white.
She is dressed in a rich costume and stands out from the crowd.
No matter how hard he explained it was because today was his coming-of-age ceremony, Li Fuguang still felt that it was a bit too deliberate.
But already here, Li Fuguang can't retreat. Anyway, even if he dies, he can come back again, let's fight!
Taking a deep breath, Li Fuguang stepped forward and put his hand on Herbert's outstretched hand.
Herbert took her hand, without looking at her, and led her all the way to the front.
Behind her were all the servants in the manor, and in front of her was a large open space. The ceiling of the open space had a skylight, but there was no moonlight and only a faint shadow was cast.
"Today is Maya's eighteenth-year-old adult ceremony. Here, let us pray for God's blessing for Maya!"
Herbert's voice echoed in the hall, like an inorganic machine, cold.
Li Fuguang stood there awkwardly, clutching the corners of his skirt with both hands. Everyone in front of him took out a white candle and lit it almost at the same time.
Immediately afterwards, under the leadership of Herbert, everyone began to recite prayers in unison.
Li Fuguang also chanted along, but it was not smooth, but intermittent.
She couldn't blame her, this scene was very similar to the scenes of cult gatherings she had seen on TV before, and not all the servants had very serious expressions, which made her want to laugh a little.
Li Fuguang bit the corner of his mouth, holding it in very hard.
Don't laugh, don't laugh!
Pious! Pious!
That ghost is still watching!
But I couldn’t help it!
The prayer was repeated three times in total. Li Fuguanghun almost stopped laughing, and the expression on his face was almost distorted from holding back laughter for a long time.
"It's almost time."
Herbert muttered to himself and took Li Fuguang's hand again.
Li Fuguang didn't understand how they judged the time. They obviously didn't have a watch, did they just rely on their feelings?
While grumbling, Herbert led him to the center of the open space.
Li Fuguang raised his head, and it was directly under the skylight.
Borui was guiding everyone out of the hall.
"Aren't they going to participate next?"
Li Fuguang asked curiously.
"They are not qualified to meet the gods."
Li Fuguang was startled by the heat coming from behind him and looked back.
Herbert held her head,
"Don't move. In the next ceremony, the gods will come and you can't say a word."
"Shua——"
A flash of silver light flashed.
Li Fuguang didn't speak, but she didn't move anymore, but her palms began to sweat, and her whole palms were wet with sweat.
Just now, there was the sound of a sword being unsheathed.
Her brother, behind her, drew his sword!
At this point, Li Fuguang also understood what the father and son were thinking.
They didn't want to hide it at all!
It was written clearly in the booklet for myself!
Sacrifice enough sacrifices to obtain the gods' gifts!
This is why they have been raising a "heretic" daughter.
At the necessary moment, the blood of your loved ones as a sacrifice has the best effect!
Damn it, if that was the case, how could she have time to gain His favor if God didn't come until she was about to die?
Otherwise, run away now?
Tsk, wearing such a big skirt, how could it be possible in time? !
This must be part of their plan. Dressing up not only pleases the god, but also hinders her movements.
I just don’t know what will happen after the sacrifice is successful. Speaking of which, the horror game does not specify the conditions for game failure.
In addition to being trapped here because I couldn't pass the level, will becoming a sacrifice to the gods also count as a failure to clear the level?
After all, they have become sacrifices, and their bodies and souls have dissipated. How can there be a chance to come back again?
Thinking of this, Li Fuguang decided to give it another try.
"Father, brother, why me? We are relatives connected by blood, aren't we?"
Only Herbert's cold voice came from behind,
"Didn't I tell you to shut up and stop talking?"
Li Fuguang gritted his teeth. This Herbert refused to accept soft and hard advice and still held her lifeline. It was really difficult to deal with!
"We've come this far, so it doesn't hurt to tell you."
In the end, it was Borui who walked up to her and talked to her with a trace of nostalgia on his face.
Li Fuguang's face was dull for a second, and then he burst into a bright smile.
As expected of a cheap father, this preaching look really helped her a lot.
"Eighteen years ago, on the night you were born, your two-year-old brother and I were also here to witness your mother's sacrifice. After all, obtaining gifts from the gods requires sacrifices, and only the people you love deeply can be sacrificed. Get the most out of it.
After that, our Esther family became unstoppable and rose strongly in this empire! "
Speaking of this, Bo Rui's face was filled with pride and enthusiasm. He was actually excited that he could sacrifice his beloved wife to get help from the gods.
"Now, it's your turn to contribute to the family. You are your brother's favorite person. As long as I sacrifice you, Esther's glory can last for another 18 years!"
So this is ah.
Li Fuguang sneered.
"Are you pigs? If you seek help from the devil, won't you be afraid of being backlashed?"
Li Fuguang's whole body tensed up when he was suddenly poked by something cold behind him.
"Don't say such disrespectful words. You should be grateful for the free life we gave you for the first eighteen years."
Herbert seemed a little irritated and put his sword directly against his sister's back.
Li Fuguang clenched his fists. It was certain that she would be killed by Herbert here today.
But she must not die as a sacrifice!
As long as it is a normal death, there should be a chance to come back.
"Father, let's just assume that you really love my mother, but with my brother's attitude, are you sure he really loves me? If he kills me in the end, but the gods are angry because my brother doesn't love me enough, what will you do? So what?”
Li Fuguang keenly felt that as soon as she said these words, not only did Borui's expression change, but even the strength of the sword against his back became much lighter.
It's so funny, she just said it casually, but she didn't expect that her cheap brother really just said that he loved her.
