The red moon returns

Chapter 290 The meaning of sacrifice

Salin actually died anyway. He took such a big risk to save one, but in the end he got nothing.

Lin Qi was inevitably a little frustrated, but he held the fan tightly and calmed down. He led Judy, who had recovered from sluggishness, and walked out of their barracks.

I don’t know when it started to fog up. The valley was filled with heavy fog. The view five meters away was a bit blurry, and even the sun was dim.

Just after seven o'clock, the yard was already full of people. All the workers came out, and the other four archaeological team members also gathered in the yard. A large group of people made a mess.

The workers who had just gotten up early to prepare for work found Salin's body when they went to the lake to fetch water. When they came back to wake up the workers, they found that all six people in a barracks had disappeared. Then there was a noise and everyone was called up.

Including four other members of the archaeological team.

The four of them showed just the right amount of surprise, as if nothing had happened last night.

However, Lin Qi had already figured out that everyone in the archaeological team was directly or indirectly involved in the fight between the rabbit and the falcon in those few seconds last night.

According to his guess, the light represented Rooney and led others to discover Salin. Judy discovered it immediately and played Lynch's card. The rat represents Jack Adams, who secretly followed and peeped, and was finally captured by Glachi and had its tail cut off to survive. The vine represents Carl Jones, who almost succeeded in a sneak attack.

The only one ostensibly not involved is Dr. Jenna, but Lynch already knows some basic rules of the mysterious world, one of which is that any anomaly has its underlying cause.

The other six people are all abnormal, and only one person is normal. Then this person is abnormal, and there must be a reason.

The rare and terrifying Glaki appears inexplicably in the lake, the unknown details of the ritual, and the archaeologist Jenna who is the core of the archaeological team... all the clues are connected for a while.

This woman may be very problematic, maybe she is Prince William's undercover agent, and the appearance of Glachi is related to her even if she was not summoned. Although it is not certain, it must be noted.

"Doctor, there must be something wrong here. A number of people died in the past few years. Something happened this time, and six people were lost. Let's evacuate to the village outside the mountain first."

"Yes, Mr. Jones, it's too scary here. Get out first."

Several leading workers rubbed their hands anxiously and gathered around Dr. Jenna. Each one of them said something, making a loud noise.

"It's such a heavy fog. Do you want to go out or die?" Carl Jones was disheveled and still had the doctor's lipstick marks on his face, but he looked calm. "Do your own thing first. Remember not to Leave the camp and wait until the fog clears to see the situation before making a decision, otherwise you will fall to death on the road.”

After hearing that they were not stopped, and what the other party said was indeed very reasonable, the workers' panic gradually came under control. They followed Carl Jones's order and began to prepare tools. Only then did the six members of the archaeological team have the opportunity to gather together in secret.

"It's actually foggy, and it's such a heavy fog." Karl quickly returned to the team and said seriously, "I said last night that I would know where the entrance is today. Could this be the fog he was referring to? "

"I know the same information as you, little Carl." Dr. Jenna was playing with several instruments similar to sextants. She didn't seem to care about it and said without raising her head, "But suddenly It's unusual for something so weird to happen, so it's not surprising. What worries me is that Salin is dead. Have any of you noticed anything unusual about him these days?"

"No."

Several people looked at each other and shook their heads with confused expressions.

"After all, we are companions. Even if we don't want the ceremony to be completed smoothly, we still need to find out the cause of his death." Dr. Jenna put down the instrument and sighed faintly, "Let's go check on his condition first, and then consider the ancient tomb when we come back. The entrance is fine.”

Hiss, don’t you know what’s going on in the lake?
Lin Qi's heart tightened, but when she saw several others nodding in agreement calmly, she also maintained a mysterious smile without commenting. Anyway, Glachi will not only target me when he comes out. If you are not worried, then what do you have to fear about me? .

The diffuse mist made it difficult to see clearly in the small lake. The group of people approached the lake cautiously. It wasn't until they were very close that they noticed a dark thing lying by the lake, which must be Salin's body.

"It is said that it was already foggy in the morning. The workers came to the lake several times and did not notice Salin's body. The last time they found it was when they accidentally stepped on it." Dr. Jenna sighed and said regretfully, "I didn't let them move the body, I just showed it to everyone."

"Let me take a look. Help me look around, especially in the lake. Don't hide anything in the fog."

Carl Jones held the rapier and approached cautiously. Lynch thought for a moment and then followed. Karl did not refuse, he squatted down next to the body, put on his gloves and began to examine the body familiarly.

The deceased was probably Salin, lying face down on the rocks by the lake. His body was dry, but slightly damp in the mist.

The skin of the corpse was pale and bloodless, and the fatal wound was on the chest. There was a round hole where the heart was, but strangely there was no blood on the clothes, as if no blood had flowed from the wound at all.

Other than that, there were only a few scratches on the limbs, the scratches were still fresh and hadn't even been dealt with. After reporting all this, Carl Jones made a gesture of invitation, then stepped aside and pressed the hilt of his sword to help guard.

Lin Qi did not lean down, but just shook his fan.

[Power, death, ability, perception of death. 】

The ability is activated and the vision changes.

This time it went quite smoothly, there was no fog in the black and white vision, everything was very clear, and Lin Qi saw a figure staggering towards the lake.

The black and white figure, the staggering steps, the trance-like expression, the muttering lips, and the strange process made Lin Qi feel like he saw Sadako climbing out of an ancient well.

The figure stopped at the lakeside, knelt down, and faced the lakeside. Then a sharp thorn shot out from the lake and penetrated into Salin's heart. The thorn began to squirm and shrink.

However, a few seconds later, Salin, who was in a daze, seemed to suddenly wake up. He raised his dagger high, hesitated for a moment, and then struck the sharp thorn without any hesitation.

The next moment, a huge body emerged from the center of the lake, occupying the entire black and white field of vision.

boom.

Lin Qi, who was dressed in women's clothing, took two steps back, covered his forehead and frowned slightly, his face becoming serious.

You all want to act, but I won’t play with you anymore.

"There is something in the lake." Lynch's voice was calm with a hint of dissatisfaction, "It's Glachi."

hiss~~
Several people took two steps back at the same time, as if they were all shocked. Carl Jones's face changed drastically, and he whispered: "It does look like the traces left by Glaaki's thorns, but how? If he was attacked by Glaaki How could he die?"

"No, if you cut off the flesh spine before being transformed into a servant, it will interrupt the transformation and cause death."

The gentle Rooney also showed a nervous expression, but spoke as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

"How could Glachi appear here? Jenna, Carl, and Howard didn't mention this to you?"

Bearded Jack Adams turned red and shouted:
"Damn it, they never told me I was going to face this mysterious creature."

"Never said that."

For a moment, there was chaos by the lake. Lin Qi couldn't tell which of their sentences was true and which was staged. He only felt that his mind was extremely confused. But at this moment, Zhu, who had been following him and holding a book, Di suddenly said calmly: "Mist."

"Huh? Are you awake?" Everyone was surprised, especially Jack, who subconsciously stopped performing.

"The mist rises from the center of the lake."

"Damn, it's true." Jack took two steps back and took a look, "Damn, I suspect that the disappearance of the six workers and the death of Salin were the sacrifices that opened the door, so Glachi's appeared and the fog came out. Come on, the door should be in the lake."

Rooney immediately retorted: "No, how do you explain the rock wall on the other side? Those six died in front of the rock wall yesterday."

That's right, the rock wall, go check it out first, then you don't have to go down to the lake and face Glaki.

Awakened by the words, the group of six people immediately left the lakeside and rushed towards the previous rock wall.

It didn't take long for the six of them to walk through the woods, and the rock wall lay in front of them.

The rock wall was still the same as yesterday, but the smooth rock wall had spread to both sides, revealing the huge cave behind. Thick fog emerged from the cave entrance in large groups, making the vision increasingly hazy.

　Well, I kicked them out of the Evil God queue for the three losers of the British Empire and some minor characters who were not listed.
