Chapter 103: twelve priests

The moment the holy sound disappeared, the room fell into complete darkness. The only light source was the blood moon outside the window.

The cold lasted for about half a minute, and suddenly, the lights came on one by one, forming a loop. Twelve of them stood in the middle. This was not the small room just now, but a wider lamp hall.

There are also twelve lamps, which are placed on twelve lampposts. These lampposts are all carved from stone, and there are many images of gods, demons and animals on them.

Most of the murals are painted in red, yellow, and green. At first glance, the colors are dazzling and strong. The people drawn on them wear hats made of bright feathers, just like primitive humans.

, and the craft of other stone bricks are hardly in an era.

The black stele is translucent, as bright as black crystal, and can reveal the red moon above the sky.

An Wujiu found that each of them was no longer the clothes they had just entered, but changed into coarse cotton and linen robes with black animal fur cloaks.

Blizzard and snow kept pouring in from the open stone gate in the west, freezing people's bones to the point where they shivered while standing in this empty hall.

"Is there a door?" Shen Ti walked towards the open stone door, "The game will freeze to death before playing."

He walked over and found two door-high slates that could be pushed at both ends of the open door, one on the left and one on the right, depending on the thickness of the slate door, it would take four or five people to push it.

But Shen Ti didn't call anyone and tried it by himself.

"Be careful," Andrew said to him, "This door is too heavy, let me help you."

As soon as the words were said, Shen Ti pushed it all of a sudden, his expression was quite relaxed, as if he was not pushing a heavy stone door, but a wooden door.

Andrew felt strange, walked to another slate against the wall, and tried to push it, but the slate was heavier than he thought, and he pushed it with both hands for a long time, but he didn't move. .

"I'll do it." Shen Ti said that he walked over, pushed the slate forward, pushed it to meet the other one, and blocked the gate.

When pushing the door, he deliberately looked down.

They were on the high ground, very high, and it was open and flat outside, it didn't look modern, more like a very early time, and it didn't look like it was in Asia.

"I can't do anything else, I have a lot of strength." Shen Ti turned around and smiled at Andrew.

Andrew gave him a smile back.

"Why hasn't Shengyin given us the specific rules for this round." Megan couldn't stand the cold, and stomped her feet back and forth on the ground, "Come on, I'll be freezing to death. already."

An Wujiu looked down at the ground and found that there were many pictures of the same type as those on the ceiling painted on the stone floor. They were all brightly colored totems. Weapons such as spears, as if fighting.

Other than that, the sun appears the most, which is very suitable for the altar.

"I feel here..." Nanshan habitually cages both hands together. He looked around and gave a possibility, "This is very much like a temple."

"Temple?" Tengtang Ying hugged her arm and rubbed, "What temple?"

Nanshan said: "I think this place is very similar to the buildings of ancient Egypt, Maya or ancient South America. They all like to build temples with stones to worship and burnt offerings to the gods they believe in. In those times, human civilization was underdeveloped, and religion occupied most of human life, so various temples and shrines were built in many places.”

Todo Sakura nodded, "So...this time the game is really related to religion."

An Wujiu listened to their discussion, looked around, and found that the side opposite to the stone gate is not a wall connecting with the surrounding, its left and right sides are separated from the north and south sides. For a distance, it is more like an upright stone screen.

Is there something hidden in there?

An Wujiu thought this in his heart, he also walked straight towards the stone wall, he walked from the space on the right, the edge of the wall and the north wall were just a person's distance away, An Wujiu walked directly towards the stone wall. Gui passed through and turned his head slightly.

It turns out that behind this stone screen, there is a huge stone carving.

An Wujiu can't describe what this stone statue is, let alone what it is not like, because it has everything on it, the scales as hard as a dragon, the head of a jaguar, but there is more than one head , this is just one of them, there is also a snake head, spitting out letters that are split and entangled, and a head that looks like a human but is different from a human, that human face looks quite handsome, with a sun on top of it, Although the eyes are stone, they are also very bright. The face was very incompatible with his body. He held a spear tightly in his hand, but his body was like a soft bag and a meat ball that sucked everything in the world. From the meat ball stretched out tentacles, the strong legs and claws of a lion, and the blood basin of an alligator. Large mouth, tail and fins like swimming fish.

In addition to the pair of wise eyes on the human head, this stone sculpture is covered with snake eyes or lizard eyes. .

An Wujiu stared straight at the sculpture, heard Lao Yu's voice, heard him say that he was gone, and wanted to follow him, and he soon followed.

"What are you doing here!"

Old Yu always felt threatened when facing An Wujiu, but when he saw what An Wujiu was staring at, he followed his line of sight, but when he saw it, his heart He jumped abruptly twice, almost slapping on his aging chest.

What is this? !

He stared at the stone sculpture, as if his soul was tightly hooked by something, unable to move. In an instant, many indistinct pictures flashed in his mind, the stars were changing, the sea was changing, and the changes could not be stopped.

"Let's go."

He heard An Wu Jiao's voice, and suddenly, the feeling of being sucked disappeared.

The neck turned stiffly, Lao Yu looked at An Wujiu, the expression on his face was still light, his eyes looked extremely bright in the dim light.

"Let's go out."

The two walked out from the left and right sides of the stone screen, and the moment they left the stone sculpture, An Wu Jiu seemed to have removed a big stone from his heart. This feeling is strange, perhaps because in this copy of the religion, even if he does not believe in gods, the gods inevitably oppress him.

The remaining few people saw the two coming out and were about to ask, but Shengyin was one step ahead of them.

"Hello, survivors."

"This round of the game-Rite of the Blood Moon officially begins. In this round of the game, you are the twelve city citizens selected by [Water City].

Water City was originally a rich and beautiful city. Every once in a while, the leader of the city and his subordinates will bring you rich wealth and resources after returning from their trips. You live in the city, the plains are wide, you live by the water, you believe in the sun **** and the rain god, and your life is stable and stable. "

But just two days ago, the high priest in the city observed the phase of the moon, but found that the bright last quarter moon suddenly turned into a scarlet full moon. He used divination to give the people of the water city three prophecy:

First, there will be huge natural disasters on the second day of the blood moon. Brought by the cultists, they hid among twelve middle-level priests, trying to summon the evil god. Third, these twelve middle-level priests must enter the temple, identify each other, and use each other's power to destroy the cultists, in order to relieve the disaster brought by the blood moon. "

The altar continued: "The high priest came to the prophecy and closed himself in the glass pavilion of the Water City. His first prophecy has been fulfilled, the second day after the appearance of the blood moon celestial phenomenon , a snowstorm suddenly fell in this warm and rich place without snow all year round, and the snowstorm has frozen dozens of city residents to death. Just as he said, there are four cultists among the twelve of you, who devoured their beliefs, Turning the flesh and blood into the soul of a wolf, trying to devour the city of water."

"In this round of the game, survivors, you have two tasks: first, find the four cultists from among the twelve of you, and try your best to sacrifice them to The sun **** and the rain god, when all the cultists are killed, the citizens of the water city will escape the blood moon disaster and win.

Second mission, you have to protect the people of the entire Water City, rescue them from danger and confusion, and give them a free and peaceful future. "

The holy voice asked each of them to stand directly behind the lamppost in the hall of the temple.

An Wujiu did the same as the others, he chose a lamppost at random and stood on the steps of the lamppost.

"Now, ask the man to extend his left hand and the woman to extend his right."

"Put your hands into the burning lamp."

Megan frowned, "What?"

Todo Sakura advised her, "Let's do it."

In the blazing flames, An Wujiu seemed to be holding something, the burning pain made him unable to hold his hand tightly. He didn't take back his hand until Shengyin asked them to take it out.

There was no burn on his hand, An Wujiu opened his palm subconsciously, wanting to see what he took out from the fire.

But there was nothing in his hand, but three faintly luminous characters were printed on the palm of his hand.

[Gravekeeper]

"Now that you have acquired your identity, you shall not reveal your identity to anyone else at any time, except for the morning sacrifice every morning. At that time you ten The two need to discuss together and give the object of sacrifice that day. The specific rules of sacrifice will be released during the day."

The words in the palm flashed by and disappeared without a trace.

"Now, please enjoy your night, maybe one of you will not see the sun tomorrow."
