At the lake near the forest cabin, four young people in swimsuits are playing in the water.

There was only a young man with a slightly dazed look sitting by the lake, holding a rather exaggeratedly large pipe. While smoking, he glanced with a little worry at two people who were maintaining their shotguns not far away.

"Kurt, why do I feel like these two don't look like good people!"

“…Is there?”

Kurt, a tall and strong man, swam to the lakeside, clung to the wooden platform by the lake and laughed, "I don't think there's anything wrong with that. They have hunting rifles and professional hunting licenses, and they also know that there is a wolf head specimen in the house. They must be hunters who come here frequently to hunt."

"That's perfect. A vacation just to enjoy the scenery is too boring. With them around, maybe we can even go hunting. How exciting!"

…

Not far away, Danas and Yamu were maintaining their guns while glancing at the five young men by the lake.

As time travelers who knew the plot, they were naturally very clear about the origins and identities of these five people.

Kurt, a tall, muscular blond man, represents the sacrificial athlete in the ceremony.

Julie, a blonde beauty with a curvy figure and a hot and open look, is the sacrificial victim.

Holden, a black man wearing glasses and with a gentle face, represents the scholar among the sacrifices.

Martin, who likes to smoke marijuana and is always in a trance, represents the fool in the sacrifice.

Dana, with her long chestnut hair and the temperament of a quiet girl, is the last virgin among the sacrifices.

The personalities of the five sacrifices match their external appearances very well.

But unfortunately, this is just their appearance. In fact, as long as the staff of the American branch digs deeper into their background, they will find that the appearance they present is completely different from the truth.

Although Kurt seems to be simple-minded and strong-limbed, he is actually a top student majoring in sociology. He is knowledgeable and well-read. He received a full scholarship in college and can be called a genius at the academic level.

Julie does look like a hot and open blonde now, but in fact, she has been a good girl since she was a child. It was not until this Friday that she dyed her hair blonde for the first time in an attempt to change herself.

She is the real virgin among the five.

Although Holden, a black man, has a gentle temperament, he is the best receiver on the school football team. He is a real athlete.

Martin, who likes smoking, is not a fool. On the contrary, he is too smart, even smart enough to be like a monk who has seen through the world, so he relies on tobacco.

As for the quiet-tempered Dana, she seemed dignified and reserved, but in fact she chose to have a one-night stand with the married professor even though she knew it would be fruitless.

She is no longer a virgin.

These five people are essentially the exact opposite of their sacrificial roles.

Even if they really died in order, the blood sacrifice ritual would result in a complete failure.

It is really incredible that the North American branch of Earth Defenders, with the support of the entire United States, has not investigated their true situation.

Danas felt that this was most likely the work of the old Titan gods underground.

They used years of peace to deceive the eyes of mankind, making them think that even if the real situation did not match, as long as the superficial personality was qualified, they could complete the blood sacrifice ceremony...

If this is true, then the blood sacrifice ceremony is likely also a sealing ceremony.

"So, our goal is to disrupt the blood sacrifice, break the seal, and talk to the old god underground?"

"That's about right!" Danas said with a smile. "Although these five little brats are a bit noisy, they are still kind. Now that we are here, we naturally cannot let them fall into the abyss of their original fate."

Yamu nodded, then raised the Remington M700 in his hand and took a look at it in front of his eyes.

"Come to think of it, I've never used a gun in my life!"

"Want to try?" Danas smiled and took out a box of bullets. "It just so happens that I brought bullets blessed by divine power. They are lethal to most of the ghosts and monsters in Western legends."

Yamu was speechless and said, "Why do you bring this kind of thing?"

Danas said with a grin, "Of course it's because it's fun... Just think about it, if the enemy thinks I'm a long-range squishy and tries hard to fight me in close combat, but finds out that I'm tougher than him, wouldn't that be fun?"

“…”

Yamu looked at him speechlessly, shook his head and said nothing.

Danas curled his lips, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and turned to look towards the lake.

Muscular man Kurt came over with his girlfriend Julie in his arms, and said to them with a smile: "Guys, it will be dinner time soon. We plan to play some games after dinner. Do you want to join us?"

Yamu was about to refuse when Danas asked excitedly, "What game?"

Kurt looked at his girlfriend and said with a grin, "Have you heard of truth or dare?"

Danas said disappointedly: "It's so old-fashioned, forget it..."

Kurt's smile froze, and then he coughed twice, then smiled again: "Okay, do you want to have dinner together?"

Danas and Yamu looked at each other and nodded in unison, "That's fine."

Finally getting a positive answer, Kurt couldn't help but smile.

As a top student majoring in sociology, Kurt has strong social and leadership skills. He feels that if he is given the opportunity, he will definitely be able to get along well with these two people and let them take him out hunting.

Now that the first step has been taken, can the thrilling activity of hunting be far behind?

With anticipation for the next two days, Kurt and Julie turned back to the lake and continued their party.

At the same time, the atmosphere in the underground base was extremely heavy.

At this time in the past, in order to relieve the stress of their job, the staff at the base would bet on the death of the sacrifices in the cabin in the woods and start a carnival of their own.

But now, no staff member in the base has this idea.

Because just now we received news from the Neon branch that the blood sacrifice ceremony over there had also failed!

Now the safety of the entire earth rests on the shoulders of the North American branch.

Unfortunately, they also encountered problems. Two strange hunters who could not be found had suddenly appeared.

Regardless of whether they had any ill intentions towards the five sacrifices, it was very likely that the order in which the sacrifices died would be wrong.

"…What should we do now?"

"We can only think of a way to make them act separately, so that we can selectively release monsters and let them die in order."

"Where are the two hunters?"

"Let them die far away. Just don't let their blood mix into the ritual when you receive the blood."

Sitterson discussed the next course of action with Hard and other senior executives and quickly made a decision.

…

…

After dinner, Danas and Yamu sat in the corner of the living room, while the five young men, each holding a glass of beer, gathered on the sofa and happily played Truth or Dare.

Although Danas and the other man had little interest in this, they were sitting here after all.

As long as someone chooses to take a big risk, there is still a chance that it will be affected.

This is not it. The blond man Kurt asked Dana, who chose the big adventure, to come over. His face was slightly red, and he asked shyly: "Um, Danas, Yamu, tomorrow... can we also join the hunt?"

“…”

Yamu glanced at her and said calmly, "Okay!"

Before Dana could smile, Yamu asked quietly, "Do you want to be a hunter or a prey?"

Dana was stunned for a moment, and Kurt and others who were smiling on the sofa also froze.

Danas smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Sorry, my friend just likes to joke around."

Kurt smiled awkwardly and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "It's okay, it's just an adventure... But I'm really curious, what kind of animals can be hunted around here?"

Yamu glanced at him and said in a dark tone, "Werewolves and vampires."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Kurt and others froze again.

Danas looked at Yamu helplessly and was about to give a serious answer when he suddenly heard a clicking sound behind him.

The five young men were startled and looked up quickly, only to see that a hidden door that seemed to be a cellar was opened for no reason on the floor in the corner of the living room, revealing the dark basement entrance.

"What...what happened?"

Perhaps it was because they had just heard the names of werewolves and vampires, the five young men felt a sudden sense of fear for no reason.

Kurt was the first to react. After a little thought, he said thoughtfully, "Basements usually have vents. We opened the door of the cabin. Maybe the wind blew the door open."

When everyone heard this, they all thought it made sense and nodded, "That should be it!"

Kurt smiled, turned his head, looked at Dana and said, "It is indeed a bit rude to let Danas and Yamu become part of our game. How about you change to a bigger adventure?"

Dana was stunned for a moment, then her scalp tingled as she said, "You don't want me to go down, do you?"

The other young people started to make a noise: "You're not scared, are you?"

The black man Holden was interested in Dana, and immediately smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, we are all here."

"……All right!"

Dana sighed and walked into the dark basement.

here we go!

Danas gave Yamu a look.

Soon, Dana's scream was heard from the cellar.

The four young men stood up suddenly and looked at the cellar entrance in doubt.

Kurt thought something was wrong and was about to take a step forward when he saw Yamu stand up and silently take out a silver Desert Eagle from his arms.

“…”

Kurt swallowed and stopped subconsciously.

Yamu glanced at them and said calmly, "Stay here, I'll go down and take a look."

Danas smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. Let's go down together. I happen to have a high-power flashlight that can provide sufficient lighting for everyone."

As he spoke, Danas pulled out a huge black flashlight from behind him.

Kurt and the others suddenly widened their eyes and looked at the giant flashlight as thick as a thigh in astonishment.

“…This is too big!”

Kurt was shocked: "How much power does this have?"

Martin looked at him speechlessly and said, "Is that the question? Shouldn't the question be where did he get it from?"

Danas said with a grin, "Don't worry about how big it is or where I took it out from. Just tell me... is it shiny or not?"

As he spoke, Danas pointed the flashlight at the wall and decisively turned on the switch.

In an instant, an extremely dazzling beam of light shot out from it, instantly illuminating the entire dim wooden house as if it were daytime.

The originally brown wooden walls even turned milky white under the dazzling light.

Everyone couldn't help but narrow their eyes, only Danas was still shouting: "How about it, light up or not?!"
