"what are you doing?"
Ellie took a step back in surprise, hitting the bookshelf with her back and making a clang. Her wrist was still held tightly by Qiu Gongyue.
Qiu Gongyue's eyes were fixed on Ellie's hand. After the sleeves were rolled up, the snow-white forearm underneath was exposed, but there were a few red marks on the forearm.
Qiu Gongyue said solemnly: "When were you injured?"
"What?"
When Ellie looked down and saw the red marks on her arms, she also showed a surprised expression and blurted out: "How could this happen?"
She used her other hand to carefully rub a few red marks, which looked like traces left after the injury had healed.
These traces reminded Qiu Gongyue of the Moon God believers she had killed in the dream world before, but they were resurrected in the real world, and there were traces of the parts injured by her on their bodies.
Ellie now has such traces on her body. Has she always been in that dream world?
However, Qiu Gongyue spent twenty days exploring the dreamland and never met her.
And who injured her?
Seeing Ellie's panic, Qiu Gongyue asked: "Don't you know your own body clearly?"
"I don't know. I obviously didn't see it when I took a shower last night."
Ellie was confused and asked Qiu Gongyue: "How could this happen?"
Her expression didn't look like acting, she seemed really unaware.
During the past twenty days, Qiu Gongyue and the others had also investigated everywhere in this castle. No one here seemed to know the situation in the dream world.
If everyone pretends not to know, and it won't be discovered, then their group acting skills will be great.
So it is possible that Ellie is unaware of the dream world.
Qiu Gongyue picked up the book and said to Ellie: "You have read this book four times, why do you keep reading it again?"
"Four times? Are you kidding me?"
Ellie made a sound of disbelief: "This is obviously the first time I've seen it... Huh?"
Her expression suddenly became a little confused and confused. Her eyes were fixed on the book in Qiu Gongyue's hand, her lips were trembling, and she started talking to herself: "...I...how many times did I read it?"
She frowned, sweat soon broke out, her eyes straightened, and she kept mumbling: "How many times...How many times...Moon Temple...Moon Temple...Why can't I find it... …”
Qiu Gongyue noticed something was wrong with her state: "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
Ellie suddenly woke up with a pale face: "Sorry, I'm a little uncomfortable. Let's see you tonight. I'll go back and rest first."
After saying that, she turned around and ran away in a hurry, not giving Qiu Gongyue a chance to continue questioning.
Qiu Gongyue turned around and was about to catch up and intercept her, but suddenly stopped.
There is a figure standing at the end of the bookshelf. It is Ms. Mia, whom Qiu Gongyue has only met once since she came here twenty days ago.
She stood there quietly, and with Qiu Gongyue's strength, it was impossible to know exactly when she appeared.
Qiu Gongyue instantly heightened her vigilance. She suspected that there was someone behind the scenes that she would enter the dream world every night, and Ms. Mia in front of her was the biggest suspect.
The two sides looked at each other in silence for a few seconds, and Mia suddenly walked over with elegant steps and came to Qiu Gongyue.
She is a little shorter than Qiu Gongyue, but she gives the impression that she is looking down at Qiu Gongyue.
"Miss Xinyue, do you know the history of our clan?"
Ms. Mia suddenly asked.
Of course, Qiu Gongyue knew very well, and she didn't even have too many doubts anymore, but she still decided to pretend to be a newbie: "I only know that our family came to North America from Europe to settle in North America a long time ago, and then split up."
"Is that all?"
"That's really all there is to it. The family's past history is somewhat unclear and they haven't left many records."
"Then it seems that there is something wrong with the education of your branch."
Ms. Mia said in an obviously critical tone: "The most important thing for a family is the inheritance of history. Without history, it is impossible to maintain long-term connections and unity by relying only on blood relations."
"That's what you said."
Qiu Gongyue nodded, and she agreed very much on this point.
The history of the family is very important. If the Moon Clan's historical records were intact, then she wouldn't have to spend such a long time traveling around the world.
But what on earth is this woman going to talk to me about?
"Since you don't understand, let me tell you."
Ms. Mia casually took out a book from the bookshelf. Surprisingly, the book she took out turned out to be the secret family history record that Ellie had spent so much effort to find.
Qiu Gongyue's eyes narrowed slightly. She clearly remembered that the book was not in this position.
Ms. Mia put down the book and read while saying: "Our family is indeed from Europe, but our history of existence is longer than that of all European countries. Because of our ancestors, we were fortunate to be mastered by a man. The protection of the goddess of shadow and death.”
Qiugong Yue noticed a key word: shelter.
Using the word asylum means that their family may have encountered some kind of danger that is enough to destroy them.
"This goddess is very good to our family. She selected a saint from among us and bestowed her with powerful power. To this day, our family still has the power of the goddess, who will awaken a saint's physique and inherit it. The power of power given by the goddess.”
Ms. Mia closed the book in her hand and asked Qiu Gongyue: "Are there any people with this kind of physique in your branch?"
Qiu Gongyue instantly remembered the mysterious rune on her body. Could this be the so-called saint's physique?
She shook her head and said, "I don't have such a physique."
"Yeah?"
Ms. Mia stared closely into Qiu Gongyue's eyes, suddenly closed the book in her hand, and stuffed it into the bookshelf.
"Tonight is the sacrifice to the Moon God on the fifteenth day of every month, don't be late."
After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave.
At this moment, Qiu Gongyue looked at her back and asked: "Ms. Mia, I once read a history in my family. Our family seems to believe in this goddess who controls shadows and death. Why? Then you changed to believe in the moon?"
Ms. Mia looked back at her and said: "Because this is the last wish of our ancestors, the moon is the destination of our clan. If you have doubts about this, why don't you think about why your branch is called the Moon clan? "
Looking at Ms. Mia's leaving back, Qiu Gongyue stood there and fell into deep thought.
She really hadn't thought about the origin of the name Moon Clan, and now that Ms. Mia was reminding her, she really felt suspicious.
Not only the clan name, but also the name of most clan members must contain the character "month".
Could it be that their clan really has a close connection with the moon?
Qiu Gongyue didn't know why Ms. Mia wanted to communicate with her. She seemed to want to remind something, and she seemed to be testing something.
And Ellie, what is going on with her strange condition?
With all kinds of doubts, Qiu Gongyue was not interested in looking for any records of the Moon Temple, so she turned and left.
Soon, night fell, Qiu Gongyue stayed in her room and told the other three people what she met in the library today.
One person is short-term, and two people are long-term. She never feels that her IQ is any higher than others. Only by gathering the wisdom of everyone can she find the answer.
But after listening to Qiu Gongyue's story, the other three couldn't figure out what was going on.
Ever since they came to live in this castle, they seemed to have been trapped in a huge mystery. They kept encountering various unexpected situations, but they could never find any clues or signs.
】
Bang bang bang!
There was a knock on the door suddenly. Indo Rika thought it was Ellie coming, so she walked over and opened the door. Only to find that the person standing outside the door was Ms. Mia's secretary Nina, carrying a large box in her hand.
The rest of the people stood up instantly. Ever since Qiu Gongyue described that Nina presided over the bloody sacrifice to the moon in the dream world, everyone regarded her as the mastermind behind the scenes, and their hearts were full of vigilance.
Nina ignored the weird atmosphere in the room and just handed the box to Indo Rika: "Tonight is a sacrifice to the moon god. Every member of the castle must participate. These are the clothes prepared for you. You go first Put on your clothes and gather in the garden outside the castle when the bell rings.
Indo Rika took the box smoothly, and Nina simply turned around and left.
But before leaving, she turned back and warned: "By the way, it's best for everyone to participate. If anyone dares to escape, he may be kicked out of the castle."
Qiu Gongyue asked: "Where's Ellie? Have you seen her?"
Nina thought for a while: "Ellie has already set off. You can see her in the garden later."
After Nina left, Indo Rika closed the door and opened the box in her hand. She was suddenly shocked: "This is it?"
The others came over to look at the contents of the box, showing shocked expressions at the same time, and then all turned to look at Qiu Gongyue.
The box contained a pointed hat and religious-looking clothing.
Although they have never seen these bends, they have heard Qiu Gongyue describe them countless times.
Qiu Gongyue stared closely at the pointed hat inside the box with a solemn expression: "Yes, it is exactly the same as the clothes of the Moon God believers I saw in the dream world."
"Then these clothes couldn't have been pulled from those lunatics, right?"
Everyone was resistant to these clothes for a while. After all, they were worn by crazy people. Who knows if they were ripped off from the dead.
Everyone looked at each other, and finally Yin Fulin took the initiative to pick up a piece of clothing, look at it, and said, "This is new clothing. It should be specially tailored for us, not second-hand goods."
The clothes in her hand were very small, only the chest area was specially enlarged.
There were many minors in the castle, but Dinah was the only one who was both a minor and had a large bust.
"Put it on, I have a feeling we might see something different tonight."
Qiu Gongyue reached for her clothes and started to change. Unless they were preparing to leave the castle or be kicked out, there was no way to avoid this hurdle.
Seeing Qiu Gongyue starting to change clothes, the others had to change along with them.
Soon, four pointed hats with only their eyes exposed appeared in the room. As Yin Fulin said, these clothes were specially tailored for them.
"Sister, this dress is quite comfortable to wear."
Dinah held her heavy breasts with both hands: "I won't be breathless at all."
"really."
Qiu Gongyue and Yin Fulin also felt that their chests were very comfortable, not as tight and uncomfortable as they usually wear other clothes.
Indo Rika glanced at the busts of the three people with different heights, and then looked down at her own Ichima Pingchuan, and suddenly realized that this was a topic that she could not touch.
Once involved, her dignity as a mature woman will be gone.
Winter winter winter!
After changing clothes and waiting for more than an hour, the bell finally rang.
Everyone remembered Nina's words and had to get up, leave the room and go outside.
Many pointed hats are coming out of their rooms, gathering in the corridor as a crowd, talking together and walking out to the garden.
Judging from the relaxed and joyful atmosphere of these people, they regarded tonight's sacrifice to the Moon God as just a special party, without any uneasiness or nervousness.
Only Qiu Gongyue and the four others remained vigilant, because in the dream world Qiu Gongyue encountered, the moon god sacrifice hosted by Nina was full of blood and terror.
Soon, the four people followed the crowd and came to the garden outside the castle. A high platform had been built here at some point, which was exactly the same as the altar Qiu Gongyue saw in the dream world.
"This way, this way!"
In the crowd, a person with a pointed hat kept waving to Qiu Gongyue and the four others. She could recognize it as Ellie by her voice, and the reason why she was able to recognize the four people was because Dinah was still holding the Snow Wolf God in her hand.
The four of them walked over to meet Ellie, who was no longer in her weird state today and was as energetic as usual.
"Everyone, when the sacrifice begins, you can just follow me and do the same."
She warned mysteriously: "Don't do anything wrong, otherwise you may be kicked out of the castle."
Qiu Gongyue asked with a pun: "Is your body okay?"
"It's alright."
Ellie looked a little strange: "I've always been in good health, why do you ask?"
She seemed to have forgotten what happened in the library today.
The eyes of Qiu Gongyue and the four others fell on Ellie's wrist. Just as they were about to continue speaking, they suddenly heard a bell ringing. All the pointed hats who were still free and unorganized immediately lined up consciously.
"hurry up."
At Ellie's urging, everyone had to line up and stand together.
Soon, thousands of pointed hats stood under the altar, neatly arranged into two areas, leaving only a passage in the middle.
Two people appeared on the altar, one was Ms. Mia and the other was Nina.
But the legendary pope and patriarch of the Moon God believers never appeared.
Ms. Mia glanced down, stayed at Qiu Gongyue's side for a few seconds, and then whispered: "Let's get started."
