Chapter 18: The second sacrifice
The door is opened!
This was Yue Ran's first thought. Immediately he looked at Zhang Xin who was lying on the ground. She was the only person here who might have touched the door. But at this time, Zhang Xin fell into the pool of blood, her face expressionless. It was as pale as paper, and its loose white half-sleeves were already stained with sticky blood.
Yue Ran knew that the transparent substance that just precipitated from Zhang Xin's body was her life force, and at this time, Zhang Xin had indeed become a corpse.
The cold wind kept blowing against Yue Ran's body from the crack of the cracked door, and the stinging sensation in his left eye made him feel more tired than ever before.
At this moment, Yue Ran's body suddenly stiffened, and he raised his hand unconsciously, and then stretched out towards the door like a doll.
"Push the door open," Sun Yiran's voice sounded in Yue Ran's ears. The voice was sharp and bewitching. "The gods will come from here, and you will become the carrier of the gods and merge with him."
The moment the voice sounded, Yue Ran knew that he was controlled by that woman, and his body would become her puppet. She would control his body to push open the door and welcome the so-called god.
"Creak——"
The door was pushed open a little again.
The black mist mixed with endless resentment and hatred that had just squeezed out from the crack of the door was sucked into the blood pool under the door before it could spread its despair to everyone here.
The moment the black mist was sucked away, the red liquid in the blood pool became rich again, and the pungent smell of blood made Yue Ran feel dizzy while standing inside.
Yue Ran's hand, controlled by Sun Yiran, fell on the door again. This time he felt resistance on the door.
The gap in the door did not widen again and the door could not be pushed open.
"Can't push it?"
Hidden in the shadows, Sun still narrowed her eyes and stared at the door. She could feel the breath on the other side of the door, and could even feel the resentment and hatred in the black mist revealed from the cracks in the door. She was familiar with this aura, because she once belonged to that place, or the thing in her body once belonged to that place.
It's just that it forgot how it got here. It only remembered that when it could sense this place, the first thing it sensed was the young girl named Sun Yiran, and the whispers in its ears also sounded at the same time.
"Possess this girl, look for someone recognized by the 'gods', and welcome the arrival of the 'gods'."
Then, it became Sun Yiran, and her mission was only to welcome the arrival of the "god".
Later, she chose Zhang Xin...
However, Sun still knew that Zhang Xin was not a person recognized by the "gods", so she created a series of strange events to confuse Zhang Xin, making her take the initiative to become a part of the "gods" coming ceremony, and then through her own The ability to steal the will of the "god" who just arrived.
As long as everything succeeds, she will be Sun Yiran, and she will also be a god.
She doesn't want to return to the previous chaos. She wants to spread resentment and hatred as a god and saturate the entire world.
But everything was different now. The young man who appeared inexplicably became the carrier of the "god's" recognition. The door the "god" walked out could only open a gap, and there was a familiar aura there.
"A familiar scent."
At that moment, Sun Yiran's heart was full of doubts and fears. Fear came from instinct, and doubts were doubts about the gods' favored ones.
She wanted to escape. Only by leaving here could she have a chance to escape from the shackles of the murmuring.
Just when such an idea flashed through her mind, a hoarse sound like a sharp instrument slicing across the glass rang in her ears.
"You are the second sacrifice that opens the door."
The sound sounded like thunder in Sun Yiran's ears.
"The favored one of the gods!"
Sun Yiran's body trembled, and her body's instinct drove her to run in the direction of leaving.
But it was too late. The light yellow half-sleeves with cartoon patterns were already stained with blood the moment the sound sounded.
The spots of red spread from the corners of his clothes upwards until they spread all over his body.
This change happened so suddenly that Sun Yiran was completely controlled before he even had much reaction.
"I seem to have heard that hoarse voice somewhere before."
Since Sun Yiran became the second sacrifice, Yue Ran, who was controlled by the other party, regained his ability to move.
"It's that big-eyed monster."
After Yue Ran cast his gaze on Sun Yiran, who was like a marionette on a string, he finally remembered whose hoarse voice it was like a sharp blade cutting across the glass.
It was the only one favored by the "god" with huge eyes, and the monster who ordered Sun Yiran to pray for the coming of the "god".
The monster was floating behind Sun Yiran at this time, with black mist filling its huge eyes, and then the hoarse and sharp voice sounded again.
"Strip."
After the words fell, Sun Yiran's body trembled and he collapsed directly, just like Zhang Xin after entering the blood pool.
Yue Ran's left eye was stinging and bloodshot. He clearly saw two masses of transparent material peeling off Sun Yiran's body. One was transparent, and Sun Yiran's delicate face could be vaguely seen in it. The other had hair that seemed to be... It seemed to be shrouded in black mist. If you look closely, you can see a huge eye, like a prisoner imprisoned inside, roaring and shouting constantly.
After the two masses of matter separated from Sun Yiran's body, they flew in two directions. The transparent matter flew to the door, and then slowly merged into the door.
The door senses the nourishment of external substances, just like a dry plant that comes into contact with a water source, desperately absorbing the hard-won nutrients, and then quickly blooms and bears fruit.
"Creak——"
The gap in the door increased again, from the original gap to a width that could accommodate an adult.
In the whole room, Yue Ran was closest to the door. Through his injured left eye, which was in a strange state, he could clearly see what was going on inside the door.
Before, because the gap in the door was too small, Yue Ran could only see roughly. Until then, he could see clearly what was inside the door. It was a building standing in the black mist, surrounded by black mist. The shroud made the building in the black mist look even more mysterious.
On top of the building, Yue Ran could vaguely see a distorted black shadow floating there. The black shadow was not human-shaped, but looked like a mysterious creature with a weird and strange appearance. That kind of creature reminded the viewer of the empty starry sky. Think of the mysterious deep sea, the indescribable endless abyss.
The black shadow flashed away, and the black fog spread again, shrouding everything in the door and disappearing from sight.
