MTL - Deep Sea Embers-Chapter 21 Good news, the ceremony went well
After hearing the prayer of the cult priest, Duncan immediately stopped cutting off the soul projection and returned to the Lost.
Like a fool, he looked at the masked priest who had just finished his fanatical prayer, and the knife in the opponent's hand that seemed to be cut from obsidian was raised high, and he looked at the believers around the altar one by one. They were excited, and chanted the name of their "Lord" in unison, chanting the "true sun god" who had fallen to pieces for many years in the legend.
They have to offer their "sacrifice" to the sun god, and the specific method is to offer the heart of the sacrifice.
Now Duncan finally understands where the horrors in the cave came from, and understands what is going on with the crazy and criminal acts of these cultists.
Then, he saw the masked priest take a step towards him, and a layer of black flame suddenly appeared on the surface of the obsidian knife held high in the opponent's hand.
This eye-catching supernatural phenomenon instantly made Duncan curious. He guessed whether the knife was also some kind of "abnormal" object, and whether the priest in front of him was some kind of "special human" who could control extraordinary power. How many such special human beings are in the civilized society of this world, and what social roles they may play.
At the same time, he watched blankly as the black flame-burning knife stabbed straight into his chest, making a hollow sound that pierced through several layers of rags.
The flames burned inside a few times, but nothing was burned.
On the totem pole behind him, there was a sudden series of disturbing crackles from the flaming fireball, which seemed to be mixed with some kind of tearing, dizzying noise, and Duncan vaguely It felt as if something permeated from the fireball, a cold and crazy "touch" that he could not describe, not only because the temporarily occupied body had dulled senses, but also because it was beyond He had no experience of perception in the past - he only knew one thing, in this world where supernatural phenomena actually exist, the sacrifice ceremony of the priest in front of him was undoubtedly a big trouble.
The mutation of the "symbolic sun" on the totem pole immediately attracted the attention of the nearest believers. With a few suppressed exclamations, the scene quickly quieted down from the frenzy. The two men in black robes also seemed to be shocked by something. They let go of their hands in horror, and knelt down to the totem pole in fear. The priest holding the obsidian knife froze in place, and he still maintained the posture of holding the blade. , but stared at the face of the "sacrificial" in front of him. Through the opening in the mask, Duncan could see a pair of eyes that were in confusion and confusion.
Duncan twitched the corners of his stiff mouth and finally squeezed out a weird smile. He slowly raised his right hand and put it on the priest's hand that was holding the obsidian knife tightly. The green flames flowed and penetrated like water. Slowly wrap around the knife.
Almost instantly, Duncan felt the "feedback" from the knife, but strangely, the feedback was weak and empty, as if the knife was just some kind of fake imitation. A little "borrowed power" in general.
But to him, it didn't matter whether the knife was an imitation or not.
He pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled at the priest, and said calmly, "I have to say two things."
In the next moment, the priest felt that the connection between himself and the obsidian knife was suddenly interrupted by some external force, and his sincere and fanatical belief in the sun **** was directly cut off as if it had hit an indestructible barrier.
"Number one, I'm a big-hearted man—you see, so broad."
Duncan tore off the tattered cloth strip that was cut open by a knife at the moment, and a shockingly large hole was exposed. Through the terrifying large hole, the priest who presided over the sacrifice ceremony could even clearly see the scene behind Duncan.
"Second, try to avoid offering expired food to your Lord."
Duncan gently pushed the priest's hand away. For some reason, after he wrapped the obsidian knife with the green spirit fire, the priest in front of him seemed to have lost most of his strength all at once, so that Duncan is now weak and powerless. Physical strength can easily push this tall and majestic priest away.
And after being pushed away, the priest seemed to react suddenly, a huge panic and anger enveloped him, his muscles trembling, he raised his finger and pointed at Duncan, as if he wanted to shout loudly to restore the people on the sacrificial ground. Order: "The filth that came back from the dead! It's a reanimated soul! You have desecrated this sacred sacrificial ritual! The filth... Which daring necromancer is behind you?! Aren't you afraid of the power of the sun?!"
"I don't understand what you're talking about," Duncan glanced at the obsidian knife he was holding in his hand, and said casually while feeling the weak force feedback in the knife, then he looked up at the priest in front of him, listening to the back The crackling noise from the totem pole, a bold whimsy suddenly appeared, "but I suddenly want to satisfy my curiosity."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly raised the obsidian knife in his hand, pointed to the masked priest and said loudly in the eyes of a group of black-robed believers who were still in a state of confusion and panic.
"O supreme and holy sun god! Please accept the sacrifice on this high platform! I offer you the heart of this sacrifice, and may you return it in blood and fire!"
The next second, he saw the flame on the obsidian knife rising, and the icy touch escaping from the totem pole behind him suddenly stopped, and pointed to the mask priest not far away, Duncan saw that. The priest suddenly showed a frightened look. He seemed to want to leave the high platform immediately, but the speed of the knife was faster than him——
The knife flew directly out of Duncan's hand. It was pulled by some invisible force, wrapped in flaming black flames and faintly entwined green fires, and pierced straight into the priest's chest. During the scream, the cult leader's chest was pierced directly, and his heart turned to ashes in an instant.
The next second, the knife returned to Duncan's hands, and it seemed that the power contained in it had finally been completely exhausted.
It is known that there are two people in the sacrifice range of the cult altar, one of them has a heart and the other has no heart, and a certain evil **** wants to come and taste the heart today, and ask—who will lose the heart?
Of course it has to be the one with the heart.
But even if this logic was established, the whole thing went smoothly beyond Duncan's expectations. He didn't expect that his "try" would actually work. He didn't turn his head until he watched the cult priest fall. Glancing at the totem behind him who had recovered his calm, he grunted in a weird tone: "As long as the words are right for the co-authorship, whoever can give it will do?"
Of course, the fireball on the totem pole would not answer his question, but the cultists around the altar had obviously reacted at this time. A huge panic was inevitable, but in addition to the panic, even more fanatical believers burst into anger. , this anger even surpassed the fear brought to them when the totem had a vision before!
Several cultists closest to the altar reacted first. They shouted the name of the sun **** and rushed to Duncan. These most courageous believers quickly led more people, and a large group of black robes lost The mind rushed up, and some people even took out the short swords and daggers they carried with them from under the black robes.
Duncan originally planned to shout "I dedicate the hearts of everyone on the altar to the sun god" to try this strange evil god's appetite, but when he saw that some of the cultists who rushed up were still in his arms After taking out the revolver, he immediately dismissed the idea. Considering the time when the sacrificial ceremony took effect and the law of "accurate and fast within seven steps", he simply gave the cultists a **** and cut off. the projected state of the soul.
Let these lunatics go crazy, he's going back to Homeless.
At the same time, in the boundless sea, a rhythmic footstep sounded on the deck of the Homeless.
Alice, the doll wearing a gorgeous gothic dress, left her room and came to the captain's room door.
The ornate wooden box did not follow behind Miss Doll this time, but was left in the room by her.
The captain said that she can move freely in the cabin below the deck, and she can also walk around on the deck. If there is something she doesn't understand, she can come to the captain's room to find him directly.
Alice remembered it well.
(It's time to push the book! The first push of this book, from "The Prince of Salted Fish in the Ming Dynasty" by a small Taoist at the foot of the mountain, directly posted the introduction:
Zhu Yijing, the grandson of Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty and the biological son of Empress Kang Ning, looked at his eldest brother who was proud of himself, his second brother who knew how to choose, and his biological mother who couldn't see through his expressionless face... Well, it seems that he has nothing to do with him?
As a result, the young man put on the hat of the shame of the transmigrator with peace of mind, and started a life of eating salted fish and waiting to die.
Until a bowl of chicken soup arrives.
"Ahaha! Here comes the chicken soup!")
