old dream

Chapter 356 The Ancient Sacrifice
Although his consciousness is hazy, Colin can still feel that he is being dragged forward by someone. He staggers and tries to keep up with the opponent, but most of the time he can only drag. dripping on the ground.There is the sound of the wind and the noise of the street, and I can faintly hear many men and women running and calling, but they are getting farther and farther away from me.

The heavy car door slammed shut, and all sounds disappeared immediately.Colin curled up with his eyes closed but couldn't sleep soundly, because his whole body began to heat up, but his muscles kept trembling as if they were cold.He knew something was wrong, but there was nothing he could do at the moment.

Slowly, some bizarre scenes appeared in front of Ke Lin's eyes. It was unknown whether they were fragments of a dream or hallucinations caused by a high fever.People can't dream of things they haven't seen, but Colin huddled tightly in this dark car, but he seemed to see scenes that he had never seen in his life and previous lives.

They are so real that they are not so much dreams as emergent memories.

The memory of another person in consciousness.

The car curtains were drawn tightly, and it was impossible to see the outside from any angle, and almost no light could penetrate.But for such a dark and narrow environment, Colin felt inexplicably familiar, as if he had spent most of his life in a similar place.

After completing the cracking ceremony to regain the lost five years, the first scene I saw was a damp and dark cave.And after getting the body of the doll, Bod Aves always likes to stay in that small storage room, so this is almost her instinctive tendency.

Colin didn't know how many places Bond Elvis had been hiding in, but now he saw the darkest place of all.

In the depths of the ancient forest, the center of the Bod Avis Temple is neither an altar nor a statue, but a narrow and endless cave, so deep that it seems to be able to swallow time, and as long as a hell that leads to the center of the earth.

In the beginning, people just regarded the vicinity of the cave as a place for women to give birth, in order to pray that the pale earth would bring them a safe delivery.They erected some simple primitive fences around to guard the women who were expecting to give birth here, so these fences became the symbols of the holy place.

I don't know how many years later, more complex temples began to be built around the cave, and a longer and longer slope was built in front of the cave, like an esophagus that could never be filled.Large-scale sacrifices started from nothing, and became bloody from nothing, because countless animals and human sacrifices were slaughtered in front of this slope, and the severed heads were piled up as symbolic gifts on the surrounding high places, while digging The eyes that came out were thrown far into the hole.

The decapitation was done so that the blood of the corpse would flow down the slope to the goddess, for all the fluid of life belonged to her.As for throwing it into the eye alone, it was because the Woodlanders still believed in the eyes that there was a soul in them.Only the remaining remains belong to mortals and are left to be disposed of.

What Colin saw was an extremely real scene. In the rotten sludge mixed with blood and soil, he could even smell the heat from them, and feel them slowly flowing into his blood vessels, with a viscous The vitality of the body merges into the limbs and bones.An urge to vomit welled up in his heart, but the rituals of the ancient forest continued, and the primitive and bloody sacrifices were carried out day after day in this disgusting filth.Colin couldn't even judge whether its tradition had been repeated for several years, decades, or thousands of years?

Because only by doing so can the fear of the ancient woodland people be alleviated a little.

Whether it is the fear of an unknown fate, or the fear of the vast number of non-human races outside the Holy Land.

In addition to the constant five deer and five goats, at least ten people were beheaded every day in front of the slopes.And when nature needs to be conceived again, the temple of Boyd Elvis will also usher in the grandest festival of its 96 celebrations a year.Thousands of heads missing one eye will be piled up around the cave. There are animals, humans, and unknown alien races in the heads.The bottom of the slope was covered with new sand, slowly soaked with blood, replaced twice at the end of dawn and the beginning of dusk, everything looked dirty and holy, extremely chaotic, but orderly.

However, the heads of those alien races piled up in a tower shape...

They have faces that are similar to human beings, and if they are counted, they are somewhat similar to today's insects or scales.

...but why so many?
Regardless of the number or type, these non-human races are far beyond the history of Colin's cognition, and they are completely inconsistent with the conclusions of today's archaeology.

In the 22nd century BC of the old calendar, when the Gailu forest land slowly entered the clan society, the Urju dynasty of the demons in the central part of the mainland had long since collapsed. At least 1000 years before that, today's human beings have become the absolute overlord of the land.

Haven't most of the humanoid races been extinct before?

Colin, who was seriously injured, tossed and turned in these nightmares and confusions, and it took a few days before he calmed down slowly.

During this period, he could vaguely feel that he was being carried into the car and then moved down by several people.Strong light shot through the eyelids into the pupils, someone took out the bullet in his body, the skin was cleaned and sutured, and finally he lay down on a warm bed.

So when Colin slowly opened his eyes, what he saw was a dazzlingly white ceiling.

He turned his gaze and felt that this place was similar to the secret apartment in the dark river where he lived, but it was obviously another place.

Several bedrooms were connected to each other and transformed into a simple ward. The atmosphere was like that of a field hospital more than ten years ago.

Colin tried to perceive Boyd Ives in his consciousness, but the other party seemed to have fallen asleep and did not give him any response.Colin still has some palpitations about her sudden loss of control.

By the way, I don't know what's going on at the Grand Theater?

He turned his head sideways, and saw a black-haired woman leaning against the head of the bed and playing with a handful of chips on another hospital bed on his right.Colin collected himself and found that it was Nancy.

Colorful resin chips were flying in her hands, but her eyes were squinting at the other two hospital beds on the right, where two people in bandages were sitting on them, concentrating on a silent game of cards, while Nancy seemed to be the referee.

They all look so laid back and relaxed...

Speaking of which, these members of the Underworld really like to play cards.Colin thought, whether it was in that sulfur-smelling mountain village when he was a child, or here now.

After all, when you are sheltering from the limelight, you can't go out for several months, and you can't make too much noise, so this is the only remaining pastime.
