Chapter 56: Twins 21: Sacrifice

The afternoon activities are about to begin.

They followed the system's instructions and headed to the activity room this time.

This time the activity room was a study room filled with books, and the NPC who hosted the event was none other than Li Hongmei.

The theme of the activity is reading.

This was surprising to Zhu Ci.

Li Hongmei casually wrote a few words on the blackboard. These fonts were somewhat different from normal fonts, like squared and rounded symbols.

"Tell me the answer when you've finished reading it."

Zhu Ci looked at the words on the blackboard. Because he was familiar with the information, the words gradually twisted into symbols in his eyes.

He understood that this class was for nannies and this was the last chance.

Wu Yi whispered, "I think I can understand a little bit of the speech."

Zhu Ci frowned when he heard this, and then took off his clothes.

When he looked at the words on the blackboard again, he found that he could still understand them.

Obviously, these fonts are understandable to players of all factions.

So...is this why he was able to receive praise from that NPC during the painting class yesterday when he was in the children's camp?

"What's wrong? Do you understand?"

Meng Yuanzhou asked.

Zhu Ci turned his head and looked behind him.

Andy was looking at him.

"It's OK."

Zhu Ci walked towards the rows of bookshelves behind him, then took out a few books and flipped through them.

I just flipped through it and didn't read much.

Other players were also flipping through the books.

This class doesn't look dangerous, just like yesterday.

The NPC child and the deceased intern child care teacher who served as their role models had already taken out their books, found a place to read.

Zhu Ci took out the evil god sacrificial book he brought from the previous world and flipped through it.

The visible screen unlocks another page.

The picture shows him with a sword piercing his chest. It is still an abstract painting, but it still resonates with a certain nerve in people and triggers an immersive association.

I had prepared the speech long ago. I just glanced at it, closed it, and threw it into the system space.

Then his eyes wandered over the cartoon books.

Wu Yi was secretly looking at the information, he hadn't memorized it all yet.

Zhu Ci looked around and didn't see any familiar painting style, so he walked straight to Li Hongmei's side.

All players looked up and watched his actions.

"Do you know the answer?" Li Hongmei looked at him sharply.

Zhu Ci nodded slightly and turned his head to look at the audience. Andy was looking at him with interest.

"I will never give up until I die."

The congratulations were spoken softly.

Although these four words were spoken lightly, they made a loud sound when they hit the ground. Everyone stared at the young man on the stage.

He had a cold face and an indifferent expression, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Pop." Andy dropped something on the ground. The lighter he was playing with.

The player next to him quickly picked it up and carefully placed it on his table.

Wu Yi looked at the speech in surprise.

In fact, he understood some of the words above.

The magic circle formed by these runes means to suppress the evil spirits with blood.

Li Hongmei might have meant to test their understanding of this magic circle. To be more abstract, the question she asked might be whether you are willing to sacrifice yourself to suppress the evil.

Even with this understanding, they only needed to answer "yes" or "no", but the answer in the toast was the heaviest one, "I would never refuse, even if I die."

What on earth was he thinking?

Attracting Li Hongmei's attention and being stared at by her is not necessarily a good thing. He may not be able to easily get rid of the identity of a nanny in the future.

Li Hongmei looked at him seriously for a few times, with a hint of praise in her eyes: "Very good."

She stood up and said, "Come out with me."

When she said that, the players below were unhappy. This was like abandoning them. They had some clues to tell secretly, and she didn't say anything in her speech, so why did she appreciate her so much?

"Wait, I have something to say too."

A player stood up.

Zhu Ci looked at him and recognized him. This should be the player who was unhappy with his noise at the swimming pool.

The player came up to the stage and said to Li Hongmei, "I am willing to serve you, too."

Doesn't "wan shi bu ci" mean "willing to serve"? He is right.

This player probably didn't know what the words on the blackboard meant. Since he said so, Li Hongmei looked him up and down and then said, "Then you come over too."

Wu Yi: “…” Why are so many people rushing to die!

The other players looked at Andy and did not dare to act rashly.

But there were also a few who didn't want to lose any clues and followed suit.

Mo Yangbing and Meng Yuanzhou followed.

Li Xiaoyan walked to the door and looked outside.

The corridor was bustling. It was very lively when I left, and it was also very lively when I ran back after a while.

The players hurried back to the room and sat down with pale faces.

After a while, one of the players cursed: "Zhu Ci is really crazy!"

"He wants to die and mislead us."

…

Wu Yi was unhappy: "Brother Ci didn't ask you to follow suit. What's your attitude?"

"Who the hell do you think you are? Talking to us like that!"

Li Xiaoyan said softly: "That's enough, you little cowards."

She glanced at Andy and said, "You don't care?"

Andy said, "Stop talking."

He looked at Li Xiaoyan dimly: "What new strategy do you have?"

Li Xiaoyan said: "I don't have any strategy and I know nothing." Indeed, she didn't know what Zhu Ci had said to Meng Yuanzhou, and why Meng Yuanzhou agreed to cooperate with him.

…

【“It’s so funny. When these players heard that Li Hongmei was going to give them clothes for the nursery and then let them make sacrifices at night, they were all dumbfounded. They just ran away.”

"Hahaha, I laughed my ass off. This scene is quite spectacular."

"That's right, the anchor is confident, but what are they expecting?"

"Hey, but isn't this what the anchor is doing to confront Andy head-on?"

】

Li Hongmei told them what happened in the evening and asked them to be prepared to sacrifice at any time.

Zhuci asked: "Become a formal nanny first and then sacrifice, right?"

"We don't know when the evil will come back. First, follow me to pay homage to your predecessors and gain the power of responsibility. Then, at night, follow me to check on the sword that we have guarded for so long. We must not let it fall into the hands of the evil." Li Hongmei said.

She didn't seem to care about the players' escape just now.

This is undoubtedly a hint to them that if they want to leave, they can leave.

Meng Yuanzhou and Mo Yangbing were still standing with Zhu Ci. Upon hearing this, they looked at each other. The current situation was similar to Zhu Ci's speculation and was still within the controllable range.

"Can I go and see the sword first?" Zhu Ci asked.

"Sure." Li Hongmei said.

Meng Yuanzhou and Mo Yangbing left.

…

Back in the activity room, Wu Yi saw them but didn't see Zhu Ci, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Meng Yuanzhou and Mo Yangbing sat down, and the four of them sat together.

Meng Yuanzhou carefully glanced at the players around him and whispered, "Zhu Ci went to get the sword. As long as he can get the sword, he will have the power to subdue the ghost baby."

"Really? So amazing?"

"But he is the only one who can get it, the other nannies will die." Mo Yangbing added.

Li Xiaoyan looked at them quietly: "You guys just ran back like this?"

"What else, stay here and wait to die?" Meng Yuanzhou said.

"Okay, let's go first and talk somewhere quiet." Li Xiaoyan stood up.

"Let's go."

Li Xiaoyan's eyes fell on both sides of the road. When she stood up, she passed by a ghost child. This was a very common sight for her. Her talent allowed her to see things that other players could not see, especially in this kind of dungeon, where she could see ghosts without suffering any negative effects.

…

Zhu Ci followed Li Hongmei to where the sword was placed.

It's different from when these ghost babies came before.

This time he saw runes stacked on the door and an NPC guarding it. Li Hongmei opened the door and turned on the light.

The scene inside was not that scary, but there were indeed some skeletons and memorial tablets piled up around.

Li Hongmei turned on a switch, and a passage underground slowly emerged.

basement……

At this moment, I am speechless.

The basement cast a deep shadow on him.

But now with Li Hongmei leading the way, nothing dangerous should happen.

Zhuci followed her down the stairs.

The view in this basement is a little better than the previous one.

There is nothing strange in this basement. It is just a darkroom, a modern darkroom with a cozy layout.

You can also turn on the light directly. The warm yellow light dispelled the uneasiness in his heart. Zhu Ci looked at the sword in the middle. It was exactly the same as in his illusion, with runes composed of tombs.

If the sword can only be found in the basement, then what did he see when he had the hallucination?

"That's it." Li Hongmei said.

Zhu Ci walked over to take a look and said, "The magic circle under this sword is not a single suppression magic circle, but is coordinated with several others."

"Yes, your basic skills are very solid." Li Hongmei said admiringly.

"It suppresses space, right?"

"... Never open that place." Li Hongmei seemed to have not expected him to say that and looked at him a few more times.

There are no names engraved on these tombstones, but there are some strange patterns engraved on them. However, there are nine of them in number.

The sword was quietly stuck in the ground and did not seem to be stained with blood. However, Zhu Ci knew that there was another tomb corresponding to the middle.

As the others are all corpses, you don't need to worry about them. If there is no suitable candidate for the one in the middle, you can just pierce his heart with a sword. If there is a suitable candidate, then he may not die for the time being, but in the end, he may still die.

"Don't you want to touch it?"

The person behind me said suddenly.
