"Because she is always full of vitality, if you want to cancel the lock, you can only live until the sacrifice is completed and the strange source is satisfied, or lose a lot of vitality like me."
There is a saying that goes, a group of people were hiking in the wild and encountered a bloodthirsty wild bear.
You don't need to outrun the bear, you just need to outrun your companions to survive.
The same is true for sacrifice and survival.
Sacrifices only need to be less polluted than their counterparts to escape disaster.
To survive, you only need to be a little more polluting than your peers to avoid disaster.
""balanced"."
Li Mo called softly.
"What is the mysterious source of Yae Village pursuing?"
While Li Mo was thinking, a large number of rats had already broken through the gate of the courtyard and gnawed through the threshold to get in.
It came with great force, not caring about the Feng Shui layout or the items to ward off evil spirits at all. It did not care about the cost or the consequences, with a crazy and weird green light flashing in its eyes.
But when they all entered the blood peach forest one by one, the courtyard returned to its original silence.
"A rustling--"
"A rustling--"
Li Mo caught a glimpse of the mice frantically gnawing at the blood peach forest, its trunks, branches, leaves, and flowers.
Completely gave up hunting Xiao Chiyo.
It seems that these are more attractive than Xiao Chiyo.
When Li Mo shifted his gaze to the hill, he discovered that the giant rat's shadow had moved.
He took the initiative to come down from the hill, stepped over the tattered threshold and entered the blood peach forest, imitating the mice gnawing on the blood peaches.
If this trend continues, it is only a matter of time before the blood peach forest is completely eaten up.
However, the strange blood continues to flow.
Bursting out from the ground, nourishing the peach trees.
The peach forest became strange, and a thin scarlet blood mist emanated from the bark and gradually spread.
The rat inhaled the blood mist and let out a miserable wail. Its body swelled rapidly and suddenly exploded not long after.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"..."
"..."
Knowing that the giant rat shadow had inhaled the blood mist, its already bloated body swelled again and exploded like a rat.
Derivatives don't have the ability to restart, but ghosts do.
At the moment of death, the giant rat shadow restarted itself and recovered completely.
But it still had no intention of leaving, still greedily gnawing at the bark, sucking in the blood mist and expanding and exploding again.
The continuous huge explosions sounded like firecrackers during the New Year, and they lasted for a long time.
"There's something wrong with that fog."
Li Mo glanced at the next door and saw that the window was closed.
Close the doors and windows when the blood mist spreads in front of you.
This fog seems to bring death to anyone who touches it, whether human or ghost.
"We don't need to worry about ghost attacks tonight. Although there are still many things that remain unclear, the most important one is obviously tomorrow's sacrifice."
"With the power of the strange amulet, I can see the true form of the strange source. If I can, perhaps I can know what the true ritual is."
"At least it's definitely not a sacrifice."
If sacrifice is a ritual, then there is no need to handle it yourself at all.
Thousands of years of sacrifices with various offerings have not been able to eliminate the source of the weirdness. Instead, it has become more and more rampant.
Is the problem with the sacrifice itself, or the offerings?
Li Mo didn't know.
He gripped the white amulet around his neck, his mind replaying the cry for help.
It is very familiar, but due to some extremely special rules, I can hear and record it completely.
But no matter what means are used, the corresponding template cannot be found in the memory.
just like……
The cry for help exists in the present, but it wanders in the cracks of time. Human hearing can only hear a corner of it, not the original appearance.
However, the laws with conceptual nature still need help. What exactly happened to the other party?
A living person had his body cut into pieces, leaving only half of his body crawling on the ground. He struggled desperately to move forward, his vocal cords ruptured, and he endured the pain while making a hoarse cry for help.
Most importantly, it’s about yourself.
So far, too many strange phenomena related to myself and unknown to me have occurred in this mission.
Black mist, blood mist, weak cries for help, the disclosure of real names...
An inexplicable uneasiness surged into my heart.
"Incomprehensible."
"Just wait and see what happens."
Waiting patiently for dawn, accompanied by a few crisp crowing of roosters, the slightly drunken sunlight shines into the house.
This time, although it was still early in the morning, the streets were crowded.
Li Mo opened the window and found that everyone was in good condition and dressed neatly, like a long dragon swimming towards the shrine.
Shifting focus, the blood peach forest was still flourishing, as if the damage suffered last night had never happened.
The effect was unexpectedly good, but the characteristics of the blood peach forest itself might not be enough to stop the giant rat that came down in person. Fortunately, the blood mist that spread behind it was very lethal.
The reason for its birth is unknown, but now it is a friend, not an enemy.
"Bang bang bang..." There was a knock on the door, and Li Mo reflexively glanced around to check the status of the candlelight.
Of course, he didn't find it.
Because it was daytime, there were no candles in the room.
"Big brother! Get up!"
Xiao Chiyo pushed open the door and looked at Li Mo standing on the bed with a confused look.
"Big brother, what are you doing standing on the bed? Take off your shoes! If grandma finds out, she'll whip you with a bamboo stick!"
Xiao Chiyo learned from her mistakes.
"Don't worry, I won't tell grandma, so get out of bed quickly."
After a while, Li Mo came to his senses and realized that his behavior was indeed stressful and violated the behavioral logic of normal people, so he got off the bed.
"..."
"..."
"Big Brother, why are you looking at your hands? There's a festival going on at the shrine today, and everyone in the village has to go. If you don't go, the shrine master will come and visit you personally."
The words stopped abruptly, and Xiao Chiyo hugged herself as if she remembered something bad, and left the room shivering.
The room was empty, with only Li Mo in it.
A person.
Countless redundant and tangled memories.
"My memory is confused."
Li Mo calmly explained that he had become stressed out when he heard a knock on the door not long ago.
At that moment, he mistook the past for the present.
But it shouldn't be.
Li Mo looked down and saw that the amulet was still white, indicating that the cognition was normal.
Without the interference of external factors, the only remaining possibility is...his memory limit has been reached.
Just like what happened to Cang Xuan Dan Zhu and Xiao Yun back then.
If he were to return to his normal state at this moment, double dead, single dead, or even a complete living state, the situation would only become more serious.
He may even lose track of reality.
Memory is a deep sea. When a diver sinks into the ocean of memory, countless prying eyes appear in the darkness.
Li Mo shook his head and walked out of the room.
We can figure out a solution to this problem after we return to the original world. The most urgent task now is to find out the strange source of the sacrifice and Yae Village.
Led by her grandmother, Chiyoko joined the group heading to the shrine.
Following the flow of people, Li Mo walked at the end, observing every move around him.
He memorized every person, every moment, every action, every look in his mind, throwing them into the deep sea of memory...
People looked relaxed, with rosy complexions, and seemed to be in a leisurely mood.
He was completely oblivious to the heart-wrenching howls of the sacrifice in the center of the team.
"What are you going to do?"
"Let me out! I'm not a sacrifice, I'm a human! I..."
The shackles and cages trapped two familiar people, Chiyo's parents.
They stretched their hands out of the cage, trying to unlock it.
The next second, both arms were cut off, blood splattered everywhere, and the severed surface revealed the white bones and horrifying flesh and blood tissue.
The butcher held a butcher knife, a bright smile on his face, and said to everyone with a smile: "This monster is quite cunning. It even tried to use its hooves to open the cage lock."
The villagers joked, "Don't do the witch's job. The sacrifice can't die before the sacrifice!"
"Don't worry, I know how to act. These monsters won't die even if their limbs are cut off. They have to wait for the witch to chop off their heads before their tenacious lives can be ended." The butcher shook the butcher knife in his hand, and the blade was covered with scarlet blood.
Drops of blood fell from the tip of the knife, forming circles of blood puddles on the ground.
The sacrificial team quickened their pace, and the screams in the cage became more and more shrill.
Perhaps until now, Chiyo's parents in the cage do not understand why everyone put them in cages and sacrifice them.
They kept explaining and begging.
However, the villagers outside the cage just laughed happily, like guests enjoying the performance under the stage, watching the dramatic scene of the clown on the stage.
Even if it takes out its heart and liver and rolls on the ground crying.
People just think he is just trying to attract attention.
After all, they are on stage, in cages.
Soon, the team arrived at the shrine.
There is a high platform right in front of the cherry tree, which is obviously used for sacrifices.
The villagers gathered in a circle and watched quietly as the struggling monster was sent to the altar and bound by heavy chains.
In fact, there is no need for such heavy chains. After all, those who are bound are not two ferocious monsters, but two living people who are about to scream out of exhaustion.
It's just that their vitality is too low, so low that they can hardly maintain the human state, and under the influence of the law, they are recognized as monsters.
"Big brother, you're here. You came so quickly. Let's go take a look ahead." Xiao Qiandai took Li Mo's hand and was about to move forward.
Li Mo stopped where he was, thought for a few seconds, nodded, and went to the altar with Xiao Qiandai.
"Chi-Chiyo?"
"Chiyo! I'm your mother! Make everyone stop it!"
