The moonlight shines on the earth.

In the dark forest, the "princess" who escaped from the attic high up fell down the path down the mountain in a trance.

When she recalled everything completely, Xiao Kui couldn't help but lie on the ground and vomit crazily. She held on to the ground tightly, and tears and the acid in her stomach were discharged from her body.

White Six...

White six!!

The cowardly and self-doubting victims became props for him to play with at will, so the pain they caused was just a pastime for him to pass the game.

"Xiao Kui!" Xingzi knelt on the ground and hugged Xiao Kui's head with tears in her eyes. She also remembered everything and cried sadly, "My poor sister."

"Tsk." A young man's voice with a hint of mockery came from behind them. Someone was walking out of the dark forest. The bright moonlight gradually fell on the face of the person who was walking out. He smiled and said, "It's really a failure, Sister Xiaokui."

"We've gotten to this point, and we were almost sacrificing the evil god. I didn't expect..." Bai Liu leaned forward, stretched out his hand, and gently lifted Xiao Kui's chin, whose expression was blank and unable to move. He chuckled and said, "There are actually other players who can lure the evil god out of the shrine and trigger this special game path."

“It’s so funny.”

Bai Liu's eyes half closed: "Tell me, can your pain lure the evil god out of the shrine now?"

"If not, what should I do?"

Xiao Kui couldn't help shaking. She glanced at Xingzi who was holding up a big stone and preparing to throw it at Bai Liu with a look of despair on her face. "You lunatic, stay away from Xiao Kui!"

Bai Liu curled up the corners of his mouth, and his hand slipped into the wide sleeves, revealing a piece of black bone whip.

"Sister, don't do that!" Xiao Kui screamed in despair, "Run!"

At the moment when the stone was about to hit Bai Liu's shoulder, he pulled out a bloody black bone whip from his sleeve without looking back, swung his hand, and wrapped the whip around Xingzi's neck, dragging Xingzi over neatly. The whole process took no more than ten seconds. Bai Liu didn't even move his feet, but wrapped the whip around Xingzi's neck and dragged her in front of him.

Bai Liu held the whip in one hand and half-lifted Xingzi who was lying on the ground. Xingzi's feet kept struggling on the ground. She grabbed the bone whip stuck on her neck with both hands and pulled it outward, her face turning blue and purple.

"Ah." Bai Liu nodded as if he had just recalled something, "I almost forgot that Sister Xingzi seems to be pregnant now."

With a friendly smile on his face, he asked Xiao Kui cheerfully, "How many minutes does it take for a pregnant woman to suffocate before the fetus in her belly dies from lack of oxygen?"

"I think it was, three minutes?"

While Bai Liu was talking, the whip in his hand that was holding Xingzi did not loosen at all, but instead became tighter and tighter.

Xingzi was thrashing and kicking frantically on the ground, her eyelids rolled up, and the hand holding the whip began to slowly slide down. Her face turned from purple to white, and she said the last words to Xiaokui in a hoarse voice: "...Don't suffer because of your sister's death."

"Pain is what he wants."

Xiaokui's eyes completely dimmed.

At the moment when Xingzi's hand slowly slid to the ground, a white bone whip suddenly swept towards Bai Liu from behind. Bai Liu quickly let go of the whip, then turned sideways and grasped a part of it with both hands to block the white bone whip that was coming at him with great force.

The black and white whips collided in the air, clanging against each other and making a crisp buzzing sound.

The moment Xingzi was released from the ground, Xiaokui rushed over and caught her.

Xingzi covered her chest and fell weakly into Xiaokui's arms, gasping for air and coughing. Feeling Xingzi's breath, Xiaokui was frightened. She shed tears as if she had escaped death: "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive!"

Bai Liu looked vigilantly in the direction where the white bone whip was dragged back.

Under the bright moonlight, a man wearing a loose white hunting robe and a long red ribbon tied on his long hair walked out of the forest slowly. The ribbon fluttered over the man's eyes. He lowered his eyes, slowly rolled the whip back into his hand, then raised his black eyes and looked at Bai Liu opposite him.

"Wow." Bai Liu couldn't help but whistle. He raised his eyebrows, "You are so neatly dressed."

"This is the attire for the sacrifice to be worn. I don't remember ever promising the Kitahara family to sacrifice myself."

Bai Liu looked at Bai Liu calmly and said, "It's not the Beiyuan family."

"It's the boatman."

White six one quiet.

Xingzi screamed in surprise. She lifted up Xiaokui's shoulders and stood up, looking down at the mountain where the fire was blazing. She asked in disbelief, "What's going on?!"

"Why is the Kitahara family on fire?!"

The location where the raging fire was burning was exactly the Kitahara family residence built below the shrine. At that moment, it was as if countless sparks fell from the sky, igniting a huge fire out of thin air, and it quickly swept across the entire Kitahara family with the force of a prairie fire.

Even standing on the mountain, one could hear the panicked shouts and screams of the Kitahara family's servants:

"The altar and the shrine are on fire!"

"Where are the paintings and calligraphy in the master's room? Quickly cover them with water and save them!"

"The attic where the sacrifices lived has collapsed!"

"Quickly stop the supply of warm water to the rockery and bring in the spring water from the garden to put out the fire!"

"How could this be..." Xiao Kui looked at everything at the foot of the mountain in disbelief. She dreamed that the ugly and dirty Kitahara family would be burned to ashes by a big fire, but when all this really happened before her eyes, she felt it was so unreal.

——It was as if God had appeared to her and bestowed upon her a beautiful dream.

Xiao Kui suddenly turned around and looked at Bai Liu: "Did you set the fire?!"

But before Bai Liu could reply, she denied it nervously and self-centeredly: "The Beiyuan family is so strictly guarded, how could they suddenly get so angry?!"

"This kind of fire needs at least thirty or forty ignition points to start. Even if the fire can be started, the Kitahara family spent a lot of money to draw so much mountain spring water, they can quickly control the fire..."

"The fire will soon be out."

The moment she said this, the light in Xiaokui's eyes seemed to be extinguished.

In her memory, she had experienced a fire at the Kitahara family. Later, she realized that this was just a trick they had deliberately used as a sacrifice to allow them to escape.

This fire can't be started at all.

Sure enough, the fire that suddenly broke out in the Kitahara family was quickly brought under control, and the fire in the southeast corner was quickly extinguished. Many servants cursed fiercely:

"Catch the fire starter!"

"It was probably the sacrifice that did it!"

"Catch them and torture them severely!"

But before these people could leave the Kitahara family, the fire spread again.

The servants in the southeast corner were burned and screamed: "Come and put out the fire!"

"Why is it burning again?"

"Hasn't the mountain spring water been diverted there?!"

Xiaokui was stunned.

"Interesting." Bai Liu leaned over as if he was watching a good show. He held a black whip in his hand and looked at Bai Liu with interest. "Did you tamper with the Beiyuan family's spring water supply system?"

Bai Liu glanced at him and didn't answer.

"Master Bai Liu!" A distant excited shout came from the top of the mountain. A figure waved his hands desperately in the darkness. It was Sota. He shouted, "I followed your instructions and secretly took the key from the Kitahara family and gave it to the Yufu family!"

"They said they were celebrating the summer festival, and they had people carry a lot of wine through the shrine and up the mountain!"

"Wine, mountain spring water, supply system..." Xiao Kui muttered to herself, and then she suddenly realized, "If the people from the Yufu family get the key to the shrine, they can go to the place on the top of the mountain where the Kitahara family draws spring water. They can cut off the spring water and release wine as spring water."

"In order to create the beautiful scenery of warm water and rocks in the garden, the Kitahara family still burns the stove in June. As soon as the strong liquor hits the stove, it will ignite!"

"The Kitahara family has at least a hundred stoves, which means there are more than a hundred fire points..."

Xiao Kui's eyes reflected the increasingly dazzling fire below the mountain. She slowly raised the corners of her mouth, and finally couldn't help but hold her stomach and laughed out loud, laughing until tears came out:

"These beasts caused so many servants to freeze to death in the winter!!"

“He deserves to die!!”

The people of the Kitahara family were terrified and fled to the foot of the mountain, but the foot of the mountain had already been sealed off by the Yufune family in the name of "Summer Festival, no one is allowed to enter the vicinity of the shrine at will."

This group of people from the Kitahara family, who were usually so arrogant, couldn't even escape when the fire spread across the mountain. They had no choice but to walk towards the shrine on the mountain with fear on their faces. It seemed that compared to the fire that would burn people all over the mountain, they were more afraid of the [evil god] that would turn people into monsters if they got close.

The mountain fire and darkness blended together, the moon hung behind the shrine, and the hurried backs of the Uefune family could be seen as they put down the bottles of sake from the top of the mountain and walked down.

Looking further away, the seaside was filled with lively sacrificial scenes. People were performing sacrificial dances on the stands. The houseboat in the distance was unattended, so the servants and some of the sacrifices seemed to have finally received some kind of signal. They rushed out of the cages and dark rooms one after another, like small animals that had escaped from their cages, running away madly with the light on their backs.

Yuchuan stood on a high platform. He put down his telescope with satisfaction and instructed the servant beside him: "The new sacrifices have been released. Inform the anchormen of the new sacrifices to take their positions and prepare to receive this batch of new sacrifices."

"Remember to give them the happiest six months of their lives."

The servant bent over and raised the box containing the telescope: "Yes, Master Yusen."

Yuchuan put the telescope back into the box, clapped his hands, looked at the fire burning in the distance at the Kitahara family, and raised his lips: "Tonight is the eve of the summer festival. Everyone has been happy for half a year, and it's time to have some fun."

"The new sacrifices have all been released. Let's release the old sacrifices for everyone to hunt and play with."

The boat looked down from above at the tourists from Luming County who were laughing and talking happily on the stage below, and raised his hand and waved downwards:

"The Boat Palace Night Festival begins."

mountain top.

"So it was this night." Bai Liu seemed to have finally seen enough. He walked forward with a thin smile on his face. "The Kitahara family caught fire, the Yufu family attacked the Kitahara family, the new sacrifices fled, and the old sacrifices were hunted."

"If it was this evening, at this time it would probably be..."

Bai Liu smiled. He looked intently at Bai Liu's face and began to count down softly: "5, 4, 3, 2, 1."

“Swoosh—bang—!”

Huge beams of light rushed up into the night sky from behind Bai Liu, exploding brilliantly in the dark sky that was like a curtain, shattering into thousands of light points, and then falling down in large numbers.

The sound of huge fireworks explosions was incessant, the pure white moonlight and the colorful fireworks intertwined and reflected each other, and the light and shadows fell on the highest shrine, illuminating the shrine with colorful lights and as bright as day.

——It’s like a swimming pool.

The smile on Bai Liu's face gradually widened. He hid the whip behind him and said, "The game has finally begun."
