I have a set of monster experience cards

Chapter 46 The First

In the huge control room of a large underground base, the two middle-aged men in charge of the sacrifice operation looked at the five people walking into the hut on the surveillance screen, showing a knowing smile.

They had just received a call from the weird old man at the gas station. As always, the old man said some obscure words, which seemed to mean that mankind would eventually usher in its demise.

The two sacrifice leaders dismissed this, laughed at the old man, hung up the call, and started working in the control room.

They brought over a large whiteboard and took out markers.

Colleagues from the Engineering Department, R&D Department, Electrical Department, Maintenance Department and other departments gathered here happily and raised the banknotes in their hands high towards the two people.

This is a routine activity during the annual sacrifice. This secretive giant organization called the "Administration", in the country M branch, will let the employees of the bureau place bets when the sacrifice begins every year.

The object of their bets is which monster the sacrifice will choose every year in the cabin in the forest!

They seem to be ruthless as they take pleasure in human life.

But this kind of human sacrifice has existed since ancient times. If a few people did not die in an arranged way every year, the human world would be destroyed by the ancient gods.

Therefore, the burden of humanity's survival lies on the Authority, and these employees bear a lot of pressure, which urgently needs to be released in the unique form of Betting on Monsters.

All employees who wanted to place bets had already placed their bets, and the names of the monsters and the departments corresponding to the bets were densely written in a table on the whiteboard.

Among them are werewolves, aliens, abnormal ogres, ghosts...

When betting was over, the person in charge of the sacrifice raised his fist in the air and shouted: "Let's start the carnival!"

"Let's party!"

In the cabin in the forest, the thunder god man was also saying the same thing.

The blonde woman turned on the music. It was already dark outside, and in the forest cabin with warm yellow light, five young men and women started a night carnival.

Although the blonde is positioned as a "slut" in the administration, she is actually very peaceful and innocent. She even tried dyeing her hair for the first time recently.

The agency's chemical department laced her hair dye with slow-acting chemicals, so the hormones would gradually change her state of mind to more closely match the image she was targeting.

So when the tobacco man Marty asked her to flirt with the stuffed wolf head on the wall in Truth or Dare, she took action and even got very serious with the wolf head.

Then it was the turn of truth or dare, the red-haired girl Dana.

The person in charge of the administration also pressed the button at this time, and with a bang, the cellar door in the forest cabin popped open on its own!

The five young people were startled at first, and then Dana was asked to go into the cellar to find out what was going on. She took a flashlight and carefully walked down the dilapidated wooden stairs.

When she swept the light across the items in the cellar, her eyes widened.

Doll houses, music boxes, doll masks, mannequins, old family photos...

There is a dazzling array of all kinds of strange old objects, piled up in the cellar that has never seen the light of day.

Everyone came down to check. Only the tobacco man felt something was wrong and did not agree with everyone looking here.

But one person's reason is no match for the curiosity of a group of people. Everyone picked up the items of interest and examined them carefully in front of their eyes.

The blonde picked up the necklace hanging around the mannequin's neck and tried to put it on her own neck.

Thor picked up a conch, thought for a moment, then put it down. He picked up a strange round Rubik's Cube next to it and began to decipher it.

The black man opened a music box, and amidst the melodious music, the little girl in the box began to spin and dance.

The tobacco man looked at a huge projector, picked up the film and checked it.

The actions of several people were in progress, but they were interrupted by the voice of the red-haired female Dana:

"I found a diary, please listen to this." She began to tell about the diary written by a little girl. Judging from the content, this girl was a member of the Buckner family, the original owner of this cabin.

This is a family that believes in pain. They are keen on torturing themselves and outsiders as a practice and test of their beliefs.

After a creepy self-narration from No. 1, the heroine read a prayer in the diary in Latin.
She was the first to complete the "summoning" process. Seeing this, the two persons in charge of the administration pressed the button.

The monster to be sacrificed this time has been selected - Countryside Abuse | Zombie Killing Family!

In a wasteland outside the cabin in the woods, the Buckner family turned into zombies and stretched out their hands from under the soil, as if they were zombies resurrected in a traditional horror movie!
While Dana summoned this year's monster, You Huan was exploring the unknown——

There is a lake near the cabin in the forest. During the day, the protagonist group swam here to vent their youthful energy.

When the RV passed the lake, You Huan quietly left the vehicle and dived into the lake.

After all, this is the most suitable place for him to hide in the lake.

The cold lake water became deeper and deeper as it went down. In the dark water waves, a ten-meter-long cobra was swimming rapidly towards the bottom of the lake.

Although the King Cobra is not a water snake, most snakes are very good at water.

A huge black shadow passed over the lake. The fish swimming leisurely in the lake felt the violent ripples in the lake and swam away from him.

Under the sea, water plants swayed, and green algae covered large areas of lake mud, like an underwater grassland.

A snake head poked out from among the water plants and looked toward the bottom of the lake.

The King Cobra's excellent eyesight allowed You Huan to see clearly that under the green algae, there were some strange patterns on the bottom of the lake, which did not look like things growing naturally.

The snake's tail raised a dark shadow in the lake, and he brushed away the water plants and green algae at the bottom of the lake, revealing sunken lines.

You Huan explored the bottom of the lake along these lines and found that these lines covered the entire bottom of the lake!
These curved or straight lines are deeply imprinted in the depths of the lake, forming an extremely complex and huge array.

According to the traditional view, this is a magic circle.

But You Huan felt that the pattern of the lines in this array gave him a sense of familiarity, a bit like the patterns on a circuit board: wires, electronic components...

However, this huge pattern is much more complex than the patterns on ordinary circuit boards, and it also has a symmetrical aesthetic.

You Huan looked at the entire bottom of the lake and concluded that this part of the pattern on the bottom of the lake was only a part of the entire formation.

I'm afraid, this formation covers a large forest area centered on the forest hut!

Is this a sacrificial circle?

The King Cobra raised its upper body and rested on the bottom of the lake, as if in deep thought.

While meditating, dark clouds covered the moon outside. Suddenly, there was a strange vibration at the bottom of the lake. The lush scene of the lake, water plants, and green algae was distorted for a moment!

All life in the lake was affected, and the freshwater fish lost their direction and turned their bellies dizzy.

There was a "buzz" in You Huan's mind, and the snake's body trembled. Then he endured the strange vibration and looked at the bottom of the lake.

This large formation emits... energy waves?

At the same time that the formation made noise, in the forest near the hut, the blonde Julie let out a scream!

Under the influence of the aphrodisiac ingredients in the hair dye, she and the Thor man planned to engage in some kind of exercise in the wild, but they were jointly beheaded by the zombies of the Buckner family.

The first sacrifice completes the sacrifice!
