Chapter 4 Sacrifice Completed, System Activated
My stomach felt heavy and drooping.
My body feels light and cold.
My rapid heartbeat was ringing like a clock in my head, my eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and I was gradually plunging into darkness.
On the ground was an altar stained with blood. A faint black gas emerged from the void and greedily and madly penetrated into Feng Mu's body.
Feng Mu closed his eyes, as if he was asleep, lying on the ground motionless, only his lips were still moving, repeating strange and inhuman syllables in his sleep.
Low, evil.
In the dark and cramped space, time seemed to have lost its measure, with only an invisible progress bar moving forward at a snail's pace.
And it gets slower and slower as time goes by, just like the Baidu Netdisk in my previous life.
Maybe a minute has passed, maybe an hour has passed.
Feng Mu suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the progress bar in front of him in a daze - [Blood and Iron is being completed... 63%! ! ! ] "???" Feng Mu was horrified: "It's stuck, what the hell?"
A question mark appeared in Feng Mu's mind. Just as he was thinking about what went wrong, a short and dull collision sound came into his ears.
Feng Mu's face changed and he held his breath.
Boom! "The sound comes from..."
Feng Mu stared at the wooden frame that blocked his view. He pricked up his ears and listened for a while, his heart skipping a beat.
"There are other people in the warehouse."
Feng Mu immediately understood why the ceremony was interrupted.
"The ritual process needs to be silent. The noise from the wall disturbs my sacrifice."
Feng Mu had a gloomy face as he searched his mind for knowledge about sacrifice.
Soon, Feng Mu got the answer.
The good news is that the ceremony has not failed, it is just paused. You can click to continue and the progress bar can continue. The bad news is that you have to wait until the people outside leave, otherwise the ceremony will still be interrupted by the noise.
To be on the safe side, Feng Mu could wait until the people outside left before continuing, but although he was willing to wait, his body might not be able to.
His wet wrists, his heavy stomach, and every breath he took were telling him that the hourglass of his life was running out, and it wouldn't stop for a second.
"Normally there's not even a ghost here, why did it have to be today? Fuck me."
Anger is like a branding iron stabbed into the chest, causing hostility to evaporate from every pore.
Feng Mu got up from the ground and moved step by step to the back of the wooden frame.
He walked slowly, but each step was heavy.
In order to prevent himself from gasping, Feng Mu could only bite his lips tightly. His pale lips were bitten so hard that not even blood could flow out. Beads of sweat as big as beans flowed down his forehead into his bloodshot eyeballs, stinging him painfully.
The body moved slowly along the crack in the wall, revealing half of the face first, and the scarlet eyes stared at the source of the noise without blinking.
There was no light in the warehouse. There was a broken cell phone screen on the ground, glowing with light. The cold blue light vaguely revealed the outline of the air.
A man was kneeling on the ground with his hands raised high and smashing down. A body was lying on the ground with half of its face covered in blood.
He was probably dead, his body was motionless.
“Murder!”
"Then he will definitely not be able to leave for a while. After all, he has to hide the body after killing someone. He might even find it behind the wooden frame."
"What bad luck! No, isn't this a sacrifice delivered to my door?"
"A crazy person or a vicious beast. The rules don't seem to say that I can only choose one? ~"
"Maybe it's not bad luck, but luck?"
The man was still smashing with all his might, completely unaware that there was a face in the darkness behind him. The sound of flesh being smashed and deformed covered up the approaching footsteps.
He was so engrossed in the smashing that he let out a cruel roar: "Why didn't you listen to me? I gave you all the money, why did you suddenly resist? Damn it, damn it."
He raised his bloody hand high again, and then smashed it down heavily.
only,
This time, the shadow of the arm cast on the ground was particularly long, and strangely, it seemed as if it had grown a little longer.
Bang——
Blood splattered, the eye sockets of the corpse were cracked and sunken, and under the gaze of the dark eye sockets, a claw hammer with a barb stuck into the center of the eyebrows was solidified on the hysterical face.
Two bodies lay on the ground, hugging each other.
……..The corpse was dragged, rubbing against the ground, leaving twisted bloodstains, and rubbing against the walls and wooden shelves.
then,
The sacrificial ceremony continued.
[Blood and Iron is being completed...][63%, 64%, 65%][98%, 99%, 100%] With the last bit of strength drained from his body, Feng Mu fell into a deep sleep. Beside him, there was a dead body that had also fallen asleep. The scarlet blood gushing from his forehead and the solidified black blood on the ground were vaguely overlapping.
[101%, 102%, 103%][156%, 157%, 158%][198%, 199%, 200%][You have shed the blood of mortals, swallowed the ruthless iron, and reborn in blood and iron. You are both a fearless and crazy person, and a cowardly and vicious beast. Fate is watching you! ][Congratulations to the player, you have completed the activation task, and the game inheritance system is officially running! ][Congratulations to the player, you have received the activation gift package, the rewards are as follows:
1. Inherit the entry [Iron Eater] 2. Inherit the entry [Blood Rage] (Passive) 3. Inherit the entry [Feast] (Active)] **** When Feng Mu woke up again and opened his eyes again, it was already late at night.
The room was pitch black without a single light.
Turn on your phone and point it toward the ground.
The blood pattern solidified into dark brown, like corrosive paint, penetrating deeply into the ground, leaving cracks of varying depths.
The ground seemed to have been carved into an embedded altar.
In the middle of the altar was a wrinkled, shriveled corpse.
Feng Mu lowered his head, thinking about how to deal with it.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"The most important thing is, this [altar] looks wrong at first glance, how can I cover it up?"
Feng Mu felt a little headache. He had no tools at hand, and it was almost dawn (the lights in the upper city were turned on), so he didn't dare to stay at the scene any longer.
"It's all because of the sacrificial ceremony. Why can't they clean up the scene themselves? No after-sales service? Bad review!!!"
Feng Mu complained in his heart, then looked at the time, stuffed the razor blades and claw hammer on the ground into his schoolbag, and left through the window.
Climbing out of the window and walking around to the main door of the warehouse, Feng Mu looked at the iron lock that had been roughly pried open and dropped to the ground. He finally knew how the two men had gotten in.
Feng Mu picked up the lock on the ground and locked the door again.
"As long as no one comes over this week, I might be able to figure out how to get rid of the body later."
Feng Mu thought about it in his heart, and under the cover of darkness, he climbed over the wall to leave the school and hurried home.
This is definitely the first time since Feng Mu traveled through time that he thanked this world from the bottom of his heart.
Well~ Thank you to this world, thank you to downtown, and thank you to the District 9 government for not installing ubiquitous surveillance cameras and protecting the privacy of every citizen.
Thank you so much~…….I got home at 05:43.
The room was quiet, apparently everyone was asleep.
As a marginalized person in the family, there was no light on for him late at night. It sounded quite desolate, but Feng Mu just felt relieved.
He tiptoed back into the house, took off his dirty clothes and packed them up, preparing to find a corner to burn them tomorrow.
"The blades and claw hammers also need to be buried somewhere."
Feng Mu lay on the bed, thinking for a while, and finally he relaxed from his nervous and excited mood and turned his attention to the activated system.
[Iron Eater], [Blood Madness], [Feast]!
Three lit icons appeared next to his character panel, one silver and two gold.
According to the in-game logo, silver represents A-level rarity and gold represents S-level rarity.
“So it’s an A and two S start!!!”
Feng Mu's eyes widened, as if he was stunned by a pie falling from the sky, with golden fillings.
The introduction of the three skill entries is indeed worthy of the rating given by the game.
[Iron Eaters]: By eating iron, you can absorb the power contained in iron.
[Crazy Blood]: All of your attributes will be multiplied as your blood is lost. If your initial attributes are high enough, you may be able to kill a god with only a little blood left.
[Feast]: The blood of our kind is full of tempting fragrance. Devour them and you will gain eternal life~ Feng Mu took a deep breath: "If I understand correctly, these three sentences translate to - eating iron can make you stronger, I will be violent when I have a little blood, and... everyone is my blood bag?!!"
Growth skills + late-stage skills + endurance skills = an activation package matched by Tong Zi's father. Just tell me whether you will kneel down or not~ "Fortunately, I killed someone, otherwise I would have missed the [Feast] and the package would be incomplete!" Feng Mu thought.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that [Crazy Blood] and [Feast] are a pair of loving siblings, and no one can separate them, just like humans and animals, they are two sides of the same coin, and neither is complete without the other.
Suppressing his inner excitement, Feng Mu slowly calmed down.
"This package is awesome, but it will take time to fully realize it. Anyway, I still have to survive in the early stages and get stronger by eating iron."
Feng Mu really wanted to fast forward to the later stages, but unfortunately he knew he was just dreaming.
However, it is not difficult for him to become stronger. He just needs to eat iron. He believes that this process will not take too long.
Feng Mu had an idea in mind and closed his eyes. A line of game prompts popped up at the right time.
[This game has been fully activated and loaded into reality! ][Next, as long as the player continues to do things that match the game identity, the progress bar will accumulate. As the progress bar rises, the player can gradually inherit the characters and assets in the game. ][When the progress bar reaches 100%, the player will completely inherit the game character and rule the Destiny Organization! ] The screen was full of "red bean paste", and Feng Mu's eyelids were twitching with fear. He gritted his teeth and closed the pop-up window, muttering in his heart: "That's unnecessary. I already have one silver and two gold. Why do I still want to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle? Isn't it better to just eat iron?"
There is a safe way, only a fool would take such a risk. Feng Mu now just wants to eat iron. After all, eating iron can't be difficult, right~ (End of this chapter)
