She was searching in the direction of the scratches, trying to find something that might be useful.
The rest of the people couldn't help but feel a little disgusted by the scene before them, but they didn't slack off in such a tense moment. Instead, they stood guard around the three people.
Although the members of the Beast God Cult have been taken away, there are still many orc soldiers walking around here. If they notice the behavior of the crowd and arouse suspicion, they will be in big trouble.
"These are real orc bones. These are metacarpal bones, these are the top of the skull, and these are kneecaps. These are all the bones in this jar."
The first person to come to the conclusion was Zhao Xin. Everyone except Zhao Manying was surprised that she could make such an accurate judgment.
Zhao Xin was even able to find the corresponding bones and roughly determine who their owners were. This is definitely not something an ordinary person can do.
Anjie walked forward while suppressing her nausea. She watched Zhao Xin concentrating on placing the bones aside, and her mind began to imagine what had happened here.
Sometimes what is most frightening is not the environment around us, but the rich imagination of the human brain.
"Xiao Xin, how did you figure that out?"
"Ah? Oh... I studied forensic medicine in college, and these are just the basics. And these bones are basically the same as those of humans, so it's not difficult to determine what they are."
Zhao Xin looked at the bones on the ground thoughtfully and answered Anjie somewhat carelessly.
This is just what’s in one jar, what about the other jars?
She quickly picked up the jar next to her, poured out the liquid inside, and began to take out the bones, looking for the corresponding parts.
Anjie's scalp was tingling at such behavior, so she naturally walked to the side to see the progress of others.
When she came to Zhao Manying's side, she had already followed the white marks surrounding the stone pillars and came to the grass next to her, and continued to move forward along these marks.
Fortunately, she was not wearing any clothing of the Beast God Cult, and the orc soldiers passing by did not make things difficult for her. They just treated her as an orc who was looking for something.
"Manying, be careful...Did you find anything here?"
Although she had just walked out of that strange temple, Anjie still felt a little creepy.
After all, there are quite a few bones in this grass, and they are intertwined with it. No one knows when they will step on these bones.
"Yes, there should be something here. Look at those white marks, they should be left by the captured orcs. And it's not just one kind of mark. These marks extend from the temple just now to here..."
Just as Zhao Manying was explaining, An Jie interrupted her.
She was somewhat curious about Zhan's inference. How could he determine from the inside out based on these traces?
"Why not from outside to inside?"
Anjie looked around with some confusion. These traces looked like someone was dragged over at most. How could Zhao Manying tell from where to where?
After hearing these words, Zhao Manying was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she was too engrossed just now and forgot that she was not solving a case in the police force, but in a game.
If someone in the police force had asked her this kind of question in the past, Zhao Manying probably wouldn't have given the other person a good look.
"Well, it's like this. Look at these white traces extending out. Although they are messy and there are many of them, they are essentially pointing in one direction."
Zhao Manying pushed aside the grass and motioned for Anjie to look in this direction.
Just as she said, there were three or five scratches, extending crookedly from a distance, but in fact they all stopped abruptly nearby.
"If it's from the outside to the inside, why does it all start from this place by coincidence? I've just observed that there is more than one route to enter the temple. The more hidden route is on the opposite side. If they all go from here, then what is there at this location?"
Zhao Manying pointed out the location to Anjie and explained her own inference to her.
Just as Zhao Manying said, even if they came from the outside to the temple, it all started from here, which was too suspicious. It was likely that there was something at this location, which drove the members of the Beast God Cult to continuously lead people in from here.
In this case, the secrets of the Beast God Cult should still be hidden in this tall grass.
"Wow...Sister Manying, were you a detective before joining the team?"
An Jie couldn't help but admire Zhao Manying's meticulous thinking, but she could only say that her words made Zhao Manying smile helplessly.
Zhao Manying didn't want to talk more about the past, so he sent her to Huangfu Wenning to check on the progress. Maybe they had already gained something.
Back to Huangfu Wenning, she had already opened the virtual interface to record the symbols, arranged them according to the pattern, and then sent them directly to Ye Qing.
When seeing the symbol, Ye Qing was also stunned.
"If I remember correctly, this shouldn't be something from the Beast God Cult. This is the mark of the Abyss Demon."
Taking out her notes, Ye Qing began to look for the corresponding special symbols, and she actually found the same symbols.
In order to prevent himself from forgetting these things, Ye Qing hurriedly stored all the information he remembered during the period of "resurrection".
Looking at Xuan Yue next to him, Ye Qing did not tell him the news, but sent the translated message to Huangfu Wen Ning first.
"Ye Zi sent back the news from here. With flesh and blood as the foundation and soul as the channel, she called out to her Lord from the abyss..."
Huangfu Wen Ning couldn't help but laugh. The densely packed symbols and marks on the altar ended up translating into this sentence.
The mark on the bottom layer is the detailed method of sacrifice. This altar even comes with an instruction manual.
After obtaining this information, Huangfu Wenning called everyone back and displayed the information in front of everyone.
"So this is actually a wolf in sheep's clothing. These so-called beast god cults do not believe in any beast god at all, but are pure evil gods... How can the beastmen tolerate such a thing parasitizing their own tribe?"
After learning the details, Qin Fangyue felt a chill down her spine. She couldn't imagine why this group of people could do such an "anti-human" thing.
Although I have seen a lot of twisted things like this in this game, seeing such bloody and barbaric methods with my own eyes still makes my scalp tingle.
"Don't judge them with our values, but this thing is really too weird. We have to be careful."
Zhao Manying nodded, then signaled Zhao Xin to start placing the bones in their corresponding positions.
Chapter 97 Action
"Wait a minute, Sister Manying, are we going to start this ceremony now? Are we not going to wait for Captain Ye to come back before making a decision?"
Xiaoyan looked at Zhao Xin walking around with the bones, and he became nervous unconsciously.
Although we don't know the specific existence that this altar is going to summon, the description above alone is enough to make one's scalp tingle. If we rashly summon it, there will probably be no good results.
"It's okay. We don't have to complete the summoning. Let's just put it up and see if there will be any reaction."
Zhao Manying waved her hand, then signaled Zhao Xin to continue arranging the bones in order around them.
In fact, if you look down from above the temple at this moment, you will notice that the bones arranged around it look like human bodies.
Head, limbs, torso
After arranging these five parts in order, it is time to arrange the corresponding internal organs.
Of course, these internal organs are not complete, they are just a few important parts. If it were a complete set of internal organs, I am afraid that the players would not be able to complete the related tasks and would have to vomit for a few rounds first.
After Zhao Xin placed the head and torso, a dark red light began to shine on the surrounding stone pillars.
A strong smell of blood began to waft from all around, making everyone feel extremely nauseous. They quickly shut down their olfactory system in order to continue staying in this place.
But Zhao Xin seemed to be completely unaffected, and she continued to arrange these organs quite easily.
Liver, stomach, lungs...
Even though it wasn't a complete set of organs, there were already a few people present who couldn't bear to watch it. Qin Fangyue and An Jie turned their heads away unconsciously.
"Xiao Xin, the only thing missing is a heart, right?"
But Zhao Manying still folded her arms. She was accustomed to such scenes. During her time in the police force, she had seen many scenes that ordinary people could not bear.
These things were just displayed in front of her, and in Zhao Manying's subconscious mind, they were nothing but fake things, no matter how realistic they were, they could not move her.
"Yes, there is only one heart left."
Zhao Xin wiped the sweat from his forehead, stood up in front of the altar, and looked around at the bones and organs that had been laid out.
The scarlet aura had already permeated the area surrounding the temple, and the ground beneath one's feet seemed to have come alive. Everyone felt as if the ground beneath their feet was trembling as if it were a piece of living flesh.
"Hey, Manying, things around me seem to be getting more and more weird."
Huangfu Wenning walked to Zhao Manying and spoke in a low voice, enduring the discomfort in his feet.
In fact, even if it wasn't the feeling under your feet, the abnormal scenes happening around you would be enough to make people notice it.
The diffused aura seemed to begin to condense into a solid entity, there seemed to be a strong pulse in the air, and the vibrating sound could be vaguely heard in the ears.
It was as if at this moment all the stars were not in a cold stone temple, but in living bodies.
This strange environment was becoming somewhat unbearable for everyone, but the altar in the center also began to change at this moment.
The runes fixed on the altar seemed to come alive, moving like worms on the stone altar, and the scene before his eyes began to become more and more abstract.
"...Xiao Xin!"
Although he realized that there might be obvious changes next, Zhao Manying still stopped the operation in time.
Zhao Xin, who was standing next to the altar, seemed to be unaffected. He kicked away the neatly arranged organs and walked to the side to move aside the bones.
In an instant, the fishy smell disappeared without a trace, the dark red mist floating around no longer existed, and there was finally solid ground underfoot.
Anjie, who had been holding back, finally couldn't bear it anymore and leaned against the wall and began to dry heave. It seemed like a chain reaction had been triggered. Xiaoyan and Qin Fangyue also leaned against the wall to support their bodies, as if they wanted to vomit out their stomachs.
Even Huangfu Wenning, who had a stronger will, couldn't help but look a little ugly at this moment, and patted Zhao Manying on the shoulder.
"For this kind of B-movie-style scene, I'd better call Ye Zi next time, you see..."
Huangfu Wenning signaled the three people around him with his eyes. They looked pale from vomiting, and it was obvious that they could not vomit anything under the protection of the system.
But because the completely virtual effect was so good, the impact on everyone was too direct.
"Indeed, I didn't think it through. Let's clean up first and then see how to investigate..."
"Sister, there are many orc soldiers coming, let's retreat!"
Just when Zhao Manying was planning to wait until everyone had rested before finding another way to investigate, Zhao Xin had already taken off and discovered the abnormality, and quickly notified everyone in the team channel.
Are there orc soldiers coming? !
Zhao Manying quickly signaled Huangfu Wenning to act together, rushed to the people who were still leaning against the wall and retching, picked them up and started to drive them out of the temple.
Perhaps it was because the noise they made just now was too loud that it attracted the attention of the surrounding orc soldiers, but no matter what, as human beings, they absolutely could not stay here any longer.
If I were discovered, not only would I find it difficult to escape, but it would also cause trouble for Ye Qing.
After everyone hastily evacuated, the orc soldiers immediately rushed into the temple.
"Did a colleague initiate a ritual just now?!"
The leading fox soldier looked around, noticed the bones and organs scattered on the ground, and hurriedly asked the Beast God Cult member who was "escaped" beside him.
The Beast God Cult member easily broke free of the chains that bound him, and began to inspect the central altar and the surrounding stone pillars. He even cut his palm with a knife and began to smear on the ground.
Soon, a foul smell emanated from the center of the original temple again, but the smell did not spread everywhere like when Zhao Manying and others used it. Instead, it condensed into several figures standing in the temple.
Although they couldn't see their faces clearly, these orc soldiers still saw the figures of Zhao Manying and others.
"Someone did hold a ceremony, but for some reason it didn't continue. However, it can no longer be held here. We have to find another place!"
The Beast God Cult member looked quite regretful, as if he regretted not completing the ritual, and hurriedly and carefully put the organs and bones back into the jar.
The leading fox soldier gritted his teeth and looked at the scene in front of him with great resentment.
"If it weren't for that damn Demon Moon, how could we be forced into this situation..."
However, while he was gritting his teeth and cursing, he did not notice that his companions behind him had fallen down silently.
From the shadows, countless girls with silver hair walked out quietly, holding scimitars, and took away the Beast God Cult members and soldiers who were still guarding nearby.
"Wow, you really can't control your mouth?"
The sudden sound from behind startled the orc soldier. He drew his knife and turned around to chop.
However, the scimitar flashed from both sides, and the tendons of the orc's hands and feet were instantly cut, and even only a little blood splashed out.
He fell to the ground in agony, and the Beast God Cult member next to him tried to escape, but a figure emerging from the shadows stopped him and several scimitars pierced his body.
Without giving him any chance to argue, the scimitars took his life.
The one who spoke just now was a young werewolf. His long silver hair was quite eye-catching. He walked to the fallen werewolf soldier with his hands behind his back and patted his cheek.
"You don't think you scumbags can get away with it? You can't even control your mouth?"
The silver-haired young man pinched the fox soldier's jaw and looked at him mockingly.
The girls, who also had silver hair, were cleaning up the scene, taking kerosene from their storage rings and setting everything around them on fire.
"You, you damned orcs, those who don't believe in my Lord shall die!!"
The fox soldier roared, his eyes were bloodshot, but with his hands and feet cut off, he was no longer able to move.
His final roar only made the silver-haired young man chuckle. He grabbed the fox soldier with one hand and lifted him up from the ground, allowing him to take a last look at the burning temple around him.
