Chapter 77 Strange Ritual
Chapter 77 Strange Ritual
"My name is Green." The boy looked at everything with fear after waking up.
He was too thin, probably less than 50 catties, and there was hardly a piece of good skin under the torn clothes, and there were bruises and purple shocking scars everywhere, as if he was injured by a sharp awl or a whip. Not to mention the hiding place behind him, there is an unspeakable wound on the tailbone, which is festered, red and swollen to the point where it is a problem to go to the toilet.
"What's going on? How could you be so seriously injured?" Gan Xiaoxiao was so distressed that she wished she could hug the child.
The boy huddled in a corner and said nothing, his eyes extremely sad.
"Tell us, we'll report to the kingdom's guards, and we won't let those who bully you have good results!" Tang Gan said angrily, glancing at Gan Xiaoxiao and then at the boy.
"Heh." There was a sneer from behind.
Several people turned their heads away, and it was Dai Xianzong who laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Tang Gan asked dissatisfied.
"I've been watching here for a long time, and I think you guys are really stupid. He's obviously an NPC, and it's a hint from the game. The people who hurt him are likely to have a lot to do with those people who committed suicide in the city. How could he Maybe tell you the truth, but of course we have to find out by ourselves.”
Gan Xiaoxiao suddenly realized: "Brother Dai, you are so smart!"
Dai Xianzong was not complacent about it, "It's just a very simple reason."
Gan Xiaoxiao turned around, sat by the bed and said to the boy: "Brother and sister are not bad people, don't be afraid!"
The boy still didn't speak, and stared at Gan Xiaoxiao with wide eyes, his eyes were so ignorant that people couldn't bear to ask him again.
"It's so pitiful, how can you do this to a child!"
Several people walked out of the room, Gan Xiaoxiao was still complaining about the boy.
"With the doctor invited by the Duke, he will be fine." Tang Gan comforted.
Several people stood in the garden, the Duke's son was playing with the domestic white dog. The little boy was as old as the boys in the house, but one was sunny and cheerful, and the other had experienced terrible abuse and became submissive. It's embarrassing.
"Dell, come here, how many times have I told you, don't play on the mud floor, look at your clothes!" The Duchess called the boy, and at the same time said to Chu Rui and the others apologetically: "I'm really sorry, let everyone see It's a joke."
"It's okay, it's inevitable for children to be playful." Xu Yao replied gentlemanly.
The Duchess was very grateful: "It's getting dark, it's best not to go out at night, the manor is very safe, everyone can rest assured."
After the Duchess left, Dai Xianzong pushed the mirror frame: "The npc reminded me, it seems that something will definitely happen at night, I am going to squat at night, how about you?"
"Let's go too!" Gan Xiaoxiao swallowed, "But I'm afraid of dragging you down."
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you, and we will be together!" Tang Qian volunteered, and just as he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that he was afraid of the dark and ghosts, and subconsciously looked at Shang Zhongli and Luo Li. , the four of them must be active together!
"In that case, you can go with him!" Shang Zhongli pointed at Dai Xianzong.
Tang Gan was dumbfounded.
"Aren't you guys going?"
"You want to protect the little girl, it's inappropriate for us to accompany you!" Shang Zhongli twitched his left eyebrow, and Tang Qian went to look at Luo Li as if asking for help, Luo Li's eyes were much colder than before, "No! "
"Chu Rui~"
Chu Rui frowned: "Don't act like a spoiled child, I won't do that!"
Tang Gan languished, but because Gan Xiaoxiao was by his side, he was timid and couldn't say anything to refuse.
Forget it, he can do it by himself, he is a serious heir to his family, and he is afraid of ghosts!
At night, Tang Gan went out the door alone, and when he saw Gan Xiaoxiao and Dai Xianzong in the garden, he realized that Chu Rui and the others really didn't intend to be with him. Tang Gan accused those three people of being immoral, so he looked around vigilantly , pay attention to the trend of gossip.
Gan Xiaoxiao saw his gossip and asked curiously: "Are you gossip?"
The beauty struck up a conversation with him, and Tang Gan's depression was swept away; "Yes, this is my magic weapon."
"magic weapon?"
"I'm a practitioner. Gezao Mountain is the ninth generation successor of No. 60 Lingbao Sect." Tang Gan and Gan Xiaoxiao introduced, hoping to get Gan Xiaoxiao's attention. Following him is definitely safer than following Dai Xianzong.
"Cultivating the Tao? Isn't that a monk? Why do you drink alcohol and eat meat?"
"No, no, Taoism has Zhengyi and Quanzhen Taoism. Our lay disciples of Zhengyi can drink, eat meat and marry wives. Only Quanzhen Taoism has to be cultivated!" Tang Gan specially added the item of marrying a wife, for fear Gan Xiaoxiao misunderstood that he couldn't get close to women.
"So that's the case, is Shang Zhongli also a cultivator? I saw that he has taken a charm?" Gan Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes and asked.
Seeing the goddess suddenly mentioning Shang Zhongli, Tang Gan felt like facing a big enemy. Although he thought he was much more handsome than Shang Zhongli, it seemed that Shang Zhongli was more masculine in the eyes of most people, even their Ge Zaoshan My little junior sister just met Shang Zhongli at the Daoshu Conference a few years ago, and she read it every day and night, and she talked about Shang Zhongli. Regarding this point, Tang Qian was actually very unconvinced.
"He belongs to the Red Gate, which is a side branch of Taoism, but it is considered a heretic and not recognized by outsiders."
Dai Xianzong, who was walking in front, looked back at him meaningfully, and then turned around again.
"Shang Zhongli is very popular, and already has a partner, which is really enviable!" Tang Gan said this deliberately, he was worried that Gan Xiaoxiao was interested in Shang Zhongli, and Shang Zhongli was a crook, if Gan Xiaoxiao invested in it, it would be a must To be hurt.
"Is that so?" Gan Xiaoxiao didn't ask any more questions, and Tang Gan couldn't tell from her appearance whether she was interested in Shang Zhongli. If the girl didn't take the initiative to ask, he couldn't take the initiative to ask, but there was no one to answer him. And, the atmosphere among the three of them became much colder.
On the other side, Chu Rui and Shang Zhongli came to the street.
Late at night, there is no moon in the sky.
No matter how bustling Wangcheng Street is in the daytime, it is now deathly silent. The game is very realistic. When Chu Rui looks up, she can still see the lit lights, and the little sparks spread into the sky full of stars.
Chu Rui realized that this might be the environment with the largest number of people they had ever entered.
Look carefully at the streets and buildings, like Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
"Why didn't you tell Tang Gan?" Chu Rui asked as they walked.
Shang Zhongli was noncommittal.
Anyone with a discerning eye can't tell that Tang Qian is interested in Gan Xiaoxiao. A light bulb and a rival in love make a perfect pair. Shang Zhongli can't wait to stay with Chu Rui.
Thinking like this in my heart, it is of course impossible to say that: "The outside must be more dangerous than the manor, and I am also for his own good."
Chu Rui gave him a cold look.
Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by.
Chu Rui walked on her own, leaving Shang Zhongli behind.
"A Rui, don't go so fast! What if you are in danger? This is a difficult dungeon!"
Chu Rui thought to herself, how could it be so easy to encounter monsters, you are more terrifying than monsters!
Just after thinking this way, a monster with disheveled hair and a haggard face appeared around the corner. Chu Rui faced the monster head-on, her heart stopped suddenly in fright, she grabbed Shang Zhongli's hand, and threw herself into his arms in fright.
Shang Zhongli: "?"
"Yes. There are monsters!" Chu Rui trembled in fear.
Shang Zhongli hugged Chu Rui's waist happily, but he didn't forget the monster that suddenly appeared. He was about to make a move, and his expression turned serious: "It's not a monster, it's a human!"
Chu Rui raised her head in surprise. The man was dressed in rags, as if he had been tortured. His body was covered in blood, and his swollen wound was bruised and black. He looked neither human nor ghost, and his expression was a little dazed. Will be wrong.
Suddenly, dense footsteps came from his ears, and he grabbed Shang Zhongli's clothes: "Someone is coming!"
Shang Zhongli immediately hid aside with Chu Rui.
After a while, a group of people in black robes came, they grabbed the man, and the man was restrained, and suddenly yelled.
"Ah! Let me go, let me go! Ahhhhhh!"
It was a woman's voice, the scream was heart-piercing, shrill and terrifying, Chu Rui's heart twitched, they hid behind a paved water tank, he grabbed Shang Zhongli's sleeve and looked out, those people grabbed the The bruised woman, ignoring the woman's wailing and pain, cut the woman's throat with a huge sickle.
The shouting stopped.
Chu Rui's breathing also stopped suddenly. It's not that he has never seen dead people, but what scares him is the executioners who kill people, holding up the sickle without any hesitation, ending a life without any hesitation, like the god of death in hell .
The sprayed blood spattered the roadside and the walls, and they made the woman's body kneel, kneeling in the blood, her throat like a huge cave, still dripping blood.
They were chanting something, repeating it, as if they were performing a solemn and grand ceremony.
The man in black came from behind leading a ferocious beast. It was a big dog that looked like a Tibetan mastiff. The big dog was half the height of an adult man. It was covered in hairy hair. There was a whimper in its throat, and it neighed in a low voice. Out of two canine teeth.
They led the big dog to the woman's body.
Chu Rui held her breath, wanting to see what they were going to do.
What happened next became a shadow that Chu Rui couldn't erase for a long time. When he dreamed at midnight, he would always be awakened by such a nightmare.
The big dog opened its mouth, and transparent saliva flowed onto the woman's body. The man in black watched indifferently, watching the big dog devouring the woman's body. He stuck his head in to search for the hooked internal organs, and gnawed at the woman's bones that had been scraped off. There were still meat and purple tendons on the bones that the big dog hadn't finished biting.The stench of blood spread throughout the street, and the sound of chewing on the corpse clearly echoed in Chu Rui's ears, penetrated his eardrums, and entered his brain.
Chu Rui was covered in cold sweat, he wanted to close his eyes but he didn't even have the strength to close them.
Then his eyes suddenly went dark, and it was Shang Zhongli who blocked his sight.
"stop looking."
