Chapter 15: Sacrifice
While he was thinking, Yue Ran had been carried down by Chen Zhen, from hanging upside down to standing upright, but the only thing that remained unchanged was his cross-like posture.
Yue Ran secretly complained in his heart, "I look like this. Whenever I go to a church, they will treat me as Jesus."
After Chen Zhen carried Yue Ran down, he stopped caring about him. Instead, he carried his stuffed backpack and walked towards the place where Zhang Xin knelt down.
White wax, yellow paper, a one-liter thermos.
This is what Chen Zhen took out from his full backpack.
Yue Ran could see clearly and could probably guess the purpose of the things Chen Zhen took.
"The coming of the gods should involve rituals, yellow paper, white wax, but I don't know what's in that big thermos..."
Yue Ran secretly cursed, being tied up like a cross, all he could do now was complain in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it out loud, for fear that his words would offend Sun Yiran and make him a sacrifice in advance. , by then there really will be no turning around at all.
In fact, when Yue Ran guessed that everything that happened in the past few days was a result of human calculations, and all the calculations pointed to him, he had reason to believe that the purpose of the person behind it was not simply to make him a god. sacrifice, or rather, it couldn't be as simple as just letting him become a sacrifice.
Because of this suspicion, Yue Ran was so calm.
Of course, he was also gambling.
But I can't escape either way, so I might as well take a gamble.
In a short while, Chen Zhen had arranged the white wax and yellow paper according to a certain pattern. Then Chen Zhen picked up the thermos pot and opened the lid.
Yue Ran was originally curious about the contents of the thermos pot, so when Chen Zhen opened the lid of the thermos pot, he hurriedly focused his attention on it.
The lid was opened, and a strong smell of blood wafted out from inside.
Although there was a certain distance between Yue Ran and Chen Zhen, the strong smell of blood was too strong.
As soon as the lid of the thermos pot was opened, Yue Ran could already smell it.
"Blood."
Yue Ran frowned. He seemed to have guessed the purpose of the pot of blood.
As if to confirm Yue Ran's conjecture, Chen Zhen dipped his hand into the blood in the thermos and drew a pattern on the ground that Yue Ran couldn't understand at all.
After finishing the last stroke, Yue Ran felt an indescribable feeling rising from his heart, as if he was about to face something extremely terrifying.
Yue Ran's body trembled, and his left eye suddenly became hot, and then bursts of stinging pain came from his left eye, and then spread throughout his body.
There was no reaction to the strange graphics, but everything was completely different in Yue Ran's eyes.
Thick blood gurgled out from the center of the strange shape. That way reminded Yue Ran of the hot springs he had soaked in before, but the water he bathed in was warm water, but what he saw now was Thick blood.
The scarlet liquid, like a squirming insect, continued to expand outward until it touched the edge of the strange figure, and then stopped spreading. Looking from a distance, it was clearly a strange-shaped blood pool.
Immediately afterwards, the blood pool rolled, and under Yue Ran's shocked eyes, it seemed as if a door rose from the bottom of the blood pool.
Zhang Xin, who had been kneeling on the ground before, seemed to feel the call of the blood pool. Her body slowly stood up and her eyes were staring straight in the direction of the blood pool.
The door did not stop, it just rose very slowly. The surroundings were filled with blood mist, as if there were thousands of faces screaming and roaring there, as if they wanted to spread their pain to everyone. On the body.
Yue Ran was frightened by this scene. To be honest, if he hadn't been restrained and tied into a cross, he would have collapsed to the ground like mud, and even urine and feces would have flowed out uncontrollably. land.
"Door! There is a door in the blood pool!"
In Yue Ran's imagination, he should have his mouth wide open, eyes widened, and an incredible expression on his face, but in reality his body is like an unconscious puppet, his face is ashen, and his scarlet left eye is bleeding tears. , everything seems to be frozen there.
Zhang Xin, whose eyes had been fixed on the blood pool just now, also took steps towards the direction of the blood pool.
In a daze, Yue Ran understood what Zhang Xin wanted to do when he suddenly acted.
Because, Yue Ran heard the murmur that lingered in Zhang Xin's ears, like gibbering.
"Go over, walk over, the opening of the entrance requires the sacrifice of the soul."
The hoarse sound was like the sound of a sharp knife scratching on glass.
At this time, Yue Ran had no time to think about why the arrival of the gods turned into the opening of the entrance.
Now he just wants to stop Zhang Xin, he doesn't want to see a life disappear in front of him.
But now that he was in a powerless position, he could only shout silently from the bottom of his heart, but his body could not make a sound.
In addition to Yue Ran, Zhang Xin's actions also made another person frown.
Sun Yiran, who had been standing in the shadow, frowned when the door rose from the blood pool. In her arrangement, this door would not appear, and she did not even know about it. What exactly is a door.
"There was nothing wrong with the ceremony, but that door..." Sun Yiran frowned and looked at the blood pool, looking at the door that slowly rose, "the gods' favored ones have not mentioned the existence of the door, maybe the gods will come from Coming there, and then possessing me...what is Zhang Xin doing?"
At the same time that Zhang Xin took the first step towards the blood pool, a murmur like a whisper sounded in Sun Yiran's ears. The same hoarse voice was like a sharp knife scratching on the glass, but the difference was that Sun Yiran's voice did not There is no mention of the entrance, but of the gods.
"The coming of the gods requires sacrifices!"
Sun Yiran, who was about to stop him, took back her steps because she knew clearly that it was the voice of God's favored one.
"Women are sacrifices, and men are the carriers of the coming. It turns out that this is how the gods planned it."
Sun Yiran, who thought she understood the gods' intentions, quietly returned to the shadows. In her eyes, she only had to wait here for the gods to come and watch the gods conquer this already broken world.
Zhang Xin's fingers first touched the blood pool, then his arms, body, and finally his entire body appeared completely in the center of the blood pool.
The blood boiled, and the scarlet blood poured onto Zhang Xin's head, and the viscous liquid soaked into his whole body.
Yue Ran could see clearly that something seemed to be slowly escaping from Zhang Xin's body, and then slowly melted into the door in the blood pool.
Half an hour later, the door in the blood pool stopped merging, and Zhang Xin fell to the ground, his face as pale as a corpse.
