Faced with the sudden change, the people in the village were panicked. Some people contacted the high priest in a panic, but were told that the high priest had already gone to the place of sacrifice.
In previous years, the high priest would find people to go with him to the place of sacrifice. Without the high priest's permission, they could not leave the village.
At the same time, the guards who were responsible for taking the girls to the sacrificial ceremony continued walking with expressionless faces. They also noticed the changes around them, but that was not their business.
Trucks and vans were parked at the foot of the mountain. The girls were tied up, wearing black hoods, and were being dragged up by a group of guards.
The place for sacrifice was soon arrived at. It was on a mountain not far from the village, and the surrounding weeds were cleared clean.
The altar was filled with items used in the sacrifice, including food made from chickens, ducks, cows and sheep, as well as two big red candles used in weddings.
Unlike common sacrifices, the altar in front of him looked a bit strange.
A robe made of bright red cloth was spread on the ground, with a pillar standing upright in the center. The red brocade robe was tied up and spread out, fluttering in the wind.
The melted snow had soaked several pieces of talisman paper. The stove-top-like thing was dark brown with long-dried bloodstains on it.
The guards dropped the girls on the ground and left.
…
…
There was little wind on the mountain, and the air seemed a little stuffy. The mud soaked by snow water exuded a faint, not very obvious fragrance of grass and trees.
Yu Qing came here holding a wooden stick, and saw a group of tied-up girls sitting quietly.
She took off her hood and untied Xiyu's rope first. The girls helped each other to untie the ropes and looked in Yu Qing's direction in confusion.
I don't understand why the high priest wants to help me.
"Why are you helping us?"
"He's in cahoots with those guys. Let's catch him now and then we can escape!"
"Yes! We need to call the police to arrest him!"
“…But he just helped us…”
Yu Qing was alone, while they had dozens of people, enough to crush her in terms of numbers.
"She's not the high priestess." Xiyu hurriedly stepped forward, stood in front of Yu Qing and explained, "If you believe me, then come with me and escape first."
The girls who had just been untied were obviously unwilling to believe her. Except for the one who was locked up with Xiyu from the beginning, the other girls stared at Yu Qing with eager eyes.
Who can guarantee that she untied the ropes just to save them? Maybe she just has such a fetish?
Yu Qing didn't explain much and turned back to his original appearance.
!!!
The girls huddled together and subconsciously stepped back in the face of such a magical scene.
How did she... how did she suddenly become a woman? !
Several girls had already noticed something was wrong. They looked to the back of the team and saw Xiyu stopping them from rescuing someone. The girl sat there in fear.
How come these two people look exactly the same?
"this……"
"how so?"
"Both the real and fake Monkey Kings have appeared. How can we tell them apart?"
Xiyu stood at the front of the team and clapped her hands: "Everyone, no matter who is real or fake, we cannot lie about who saved us."
"Think about it carefully. If she was a bad person, why would she help us untie the ropes? Wouldn't it be simpler to just use us as sacrifices?"
The girls looked at the tied girl, then at the girl standing there, and for a moment they couldn't tell who was the real bad guy.
But there was no doubt that the person standing there was helping them untie the ropes.
What she said also made sense. It was indeed unreasonable to say why bother taking such unnecessary action when one could just do it directly.
The hesitant girls finally decided to go down the mountain with Xiyu and escape first.
Before leaving, Xiyu asked Yu Qing a question. Only after getting the affirmative answer she guessed did she leave with peace of mind.
She had to send these girls to a safe place first, and then notify the people from the Xuanmen Association to come and help.
After everyone left, the area around the altar became quiet again.
Yu Qing walked up to the bound high priest and looked down at the face that looked exactly like his own: "Since you like sacrificing others so much, this time it will be you."
“Mmmmm!!”
The high priest had a piece of cloth stuffed in his mouth and was sobbing and shaking his head desperately.
He met the girl's cold, emotionless eyes, and watched helplessly as she grabbed one of his feet and dragged him towards the altar.
The Snow Wolf emerged from Card J and lazily lay on the ground, admiring the High Priest's desperate expression.
There was no fire at the bottom of the 'stove top', but the dark red blood that was half full inside was bubbling "gurglingly", and a burst of hot steam rushed towards him.
In the bubbling pool of blood, one could vaguely see some broken limbs and bones without flesh and skin, which were about to turn into bloody water, leaving not even a bone residue.
The high priest seemed to be very afraid of this "furnace top". The closer he got, the more intense his struggles became. His strong desire to survive made him struggle frantically.
"Are you going to throw him in?" Snow Wolf suddenly raised his limbs, his eyes sparkling with anticipation. "How about I do it?"
Yu Qing glanced at him, then threw the high priest in front of him like trash: "Take it easy, don't bite him to death so easily."
"Don't worry about me doing things!"
The high priest kept wriggling like a caterpillar, and it took him half a day to crawl half a meter.
The snow wolf watched coldly for a while, then felt bored, so it walked over, picked up the high priest, and walked towards the top of the furnace.
“Mmmmm!!!”
The high priest, with bloodshot eyes, was dragged to the edge of the furnace by it. With a leap, the high priest jumped over the furnace and fell inside, while the snow wolf landed steadily on the ground on the other side.
“Ahhhhhhh!!!”
Blood and sulfuric acid corroded the high priest's body. He reached out to the edge of the furnace and wanted to climb out, but was kicked back by the snow wolf.
The candlelight on both sides flickered, and the flames became brighter and more vivid.
The people in the bloody water were gradually devoured...
"Squeak—"
The big red candle was doused with ice water, and a faint, shrill and unpleasant crying sound was heard. The bright red sparks flickered and then completely went out.
…
…
Black...pitch black.
Pain...severe pain all over the body.
When the high priest opened his eyes again, he was surrounded by a cold, soft touch again. His soul felt as if it had been bitten by a poisonous snake, causing him both pain and discomfort.
The heart-wrenching pain seemed to have not disappeared yet.
"Tell me who's behind you."
At this moment, a cold voice echoed in his ears, and the high priest felt his soul even more uncomfortable...
He endured the severe pain and looked in the direction of the sound. It was the nightmarish girl.
"I... I don't know." The high priest's entire soul was wrapped in the brush, and he was so weak that he almost collapsed.
The weather was no longer so cold after the spring, and there was a light cool mist floating in the air. However, the high priest felt a chill piercing his soul, colder than the temperature of death.
