Chapter 118

A stone pillar that was thick at the top and thin at the bottom and shaped like a steel nail pierced through the heart of the corpse, fixing it firmly in place. The ground beneath the corpse was blocked, and it was unknown what was underneath, but the same pattern could be seen spreading outward from under the corpse.

The location of the corpse should be the "node" of the blood trough.

The remaining blood in the blood drain had already solidified. About a few hours ago, the corpse had lost the last drop of blood that could be squeezed out, and it was as dry and emaciated as a mummy that had been weathered for hundreds of years.

It was his first time touching a corpse, and it was impossible for him not to be afraid, but his fear did not show at all on Buyehou's appearance.

Yu Tu squatted down beside the corpse. For safety reasons, he did not touch the stone pillar carved with patterns, nor did he touch the corpse that was sucked dry. He was observing the patterns spreading from under the corpse.

"Is it him?" Yu Tu asked.

The black cat stared at the adult-sized corpse and uttered a soft "meow~"

Just think about it and you will know that it is not the case. If it were, the black cat would have gone crazy long ago.

Yu Tu stood up, feeling a little dizzy for some reason. This small open space was surrounded by many corridors and passages, making it like a maze with many paths leading to different directions.

Yu Tu randomly chose one and went in. After a while, a new "guest" came to the open space.

"Boss! Look here!" A muffled shout was heard, followed by footsteps, "Human sacrifice!"

Tu Jiaojiao and Lu Chizhou were both covered in bloody dark red mud, making them look extremely scary.

"Don't touch it." Tu Jiaojiao stopped Lu Chizhou's hand, "Be careful not to be discovered by the people setting up the formation."

This corpse was not someone they were familiar with, and it was very likely that it was on the missing persons list of a certain city. And... Tu Jiaojiao looked around at the other intersections on the stone wall, and his heart sank.

There are so many corridors. If each one of them...

He didn't even dare to think further.

"Let's go." Tu Jiaojiao's usual playful and smiling demeanor had disappeared without a trace after entering the cave. "Go north."

The sacrificial formation is usually composed of an outer formation, an inner formation and a center formation. They came in from the south, and as long as they keep going north, they will find the center formation in this "maze". If they move quickly enough, they may be able to save more people, or maybe... they will just die with those people.

The two of them disappeared into the corridor to the north. Suddenly, a soft cat cry came from a corridor to the west: "Meow~"

Don't you want to chase her?

"They are from the special forces." Yu Tu smoothed the fur of the black cat in his arms, "The authorities have noticed it."

Now that the authorities have noticed this matter, Yu Tu no longer feels so stressed.

It was obvious at first glance that there was a sacrificial formation in the underground mass grave that had a wide range of connections and a huge purpose - Yu Tu felt that something of this level was not something he could blindly mix in.

The last time, Taishan's cool installment plan showed no signs of being fully paid off until today. He didn't want to have to pay off another installment before the previous one was fully paid off. That would be like adding insult to injury and adding fuel to the fire.

Although the man was tightly wrapped, Yu Tu was very familiar with his voice. It was Tu Jiaojiao, the leader of Group 9. Although Yu Tu had never seen the man next to him, he could guess that he should be one of the members of Group 9 who was carrying out tasks in other places.

"The authorities have already intervened, so we will not interfere." Yu Tu said, "Once you find someone to save your life, we will withdraw."

Tang He opened his eyes and saw only the strangely shaped stone top. He blinked, then closed his eyes for a while, and found that he could still only see this.

He clearly remembers that he was sleeping in bed with Mimi in his arms?

The ground behind him was freezing cold, not at all as warm as his bed. His teeth were chattering from the cold, and his limbs felt like they were tied up by something, making him unable to move.

He muttered quietly: "It turns out that the kidnapping in the TV drama is real..."

According to what is said in the TV series and what the teacher usually teaches in class, after the children are kidnapped by the bad guys, the villain will definitely jump out and talk about his plan. Then, at the most dangerous moment, the protagonist will appear and eliminate the bad guys, saving everyone, and the story will have a happy ending.

When Tang He thought of this, he was not only not afraid, but also a little bit expectant.

Will it be Sheriff Black Cat or Ultraman who comes to save him? Calabash Brothers will do, he is not picky!

With this belief, he felt as if his whole body was getting warmer—was this the boiling blood that great heroes often mentioned?

His head seemed to be able to turn, and Tang He turned it over with great difficulty. Due to his vision problem, he could only see that there seemed to be many fuzzy grooves on the ground, some of which had red patterns, while others did not.

Looking up from the bottom, he saw several stone tables. There seemed to be a small animal tied to each table. On the table closest to him was a particularly beautiful blue bird. The bird's wings were spread out and nailed to the table with two nail-like objects.

It looks so painful... Yuga frowned.

He tried hard to raise his head, wondering if his kidnapper liked to torture small animals!

Did the bad guys take a fancy to his breasts and sneak in in the middle of the night, and he was kidnapped because he fought with the bad guys to protect his breasts?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was reliable. He had no memory of fighting with the bad guys, so he must have forgotten it after being hit on the head by the bad guys! The back of his head still hurt a little! This was the evidence!

The little bird with its wings pierced seemed to be still alive, and Tanghe always felt that its furry chest was still rising and falling - he wanted to put the little bird down, and also wanted to save the other small animals.

He struggled hard on the ground. He really felt very strange. There were no ropes on his body, but his limbs could not move, as if they were tied up by ropes.

He struggled for a while but didn't move at all, and instead he was exhausted and out of breath.

He thought, it would be great if Mimi was here... Mimi is very good at gurgling on the ground. The cat can flow around on the ground like a kitty, very flexibly. If Mimi was here, she could show him how to gurgle around!

"Little bluebird! Little bluebird..." His voice also became very small and weak. "Have you seen my Mimi? It's a black cat..."

Lan Huiyu's consciousness was floating, and she kept feeling that there was a voice talking in her ear, like a child's voice.

Poison puppet master...are you starting to capture even children?

She was a little anxious and wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt extremely heavy, and the sounds in her ears became much clearer.

"...As long as we find Mimi, we can let it rescue you all. Mimi is so powerful. It is invincible in the community and has unified the worlds of cats and dogs..."

Lan Huiyu wanted to laugh. An ordinary cat could not defeat the poison puppet master on the wanted list. Even if he came, he could only become a part of the formation sacrifice.

It didn't matter if she died here, but she had to send everyone else out.

The thing nailed on her wings blocked the flow of spiritual energy in her body. The cold breath was corroding her body while also wearing down her will. It took her a lot of effort to open her eyes—the focus of the formation had changed again.

There were nine stone platforms in the center of the formation. She remembered that when she was nailed to the southeast, at least five of them were empty. Now, a demon who was forced to transform into his original form was nailed on each stone platform. Blood was dripping slowly from the place where the "stone nail" was nailed into the blood trough under the stone platform.

Perhaps it was because they were all demons, she felt that the flames of life on several stone platforms were already shaking and about to fall out. In a few hours, they would die completely.

At the core of these nine stone platforms, lay a child of about six or seven years old. A black aura surrounded him, almost condensing into a solid rope.

For a moment, Lan Huiyu thought that something had happened to the child's bones again, but when she looked closely, the "rope" formed by the Yin energy seemed to come out of the child's bones. It did not seem to be caused by external objects, but rather seemed to be something he was born with.

Lan Huiyu had not been a member of the Alien Bureau for a particularly long time, and he only knew that in the surface world, sometimes people had special physiques. With proper guidance, special physiques could easily awaken their [talents]. However, some special physiques did not bring benefits to cultivation, but were innate disasters.

This child looks like... most likely the latter.

Tang He saw that the little bluebird woke up after his persistent calling, but its beautiful black eyes first looked around the surrounding environment, and then stared at him blankly.

"Little bluebird, are you listening to me?" he asked quietly. "Do your wings hurt?"

The child's mental state was quite stable, and Lan Huiyu felt a little relieved. She wanted to speak to comfort the child, but all that came out of her mouth was chirping - she had stayed in the center of the formation for too long, and was almost becoming an ordinary copper-blue flycatcher.

She felt a little depressed.

After forcibly intercepting a little of the absorbed spiritual power regardless of her injuries, she tried to push out the "stone nail" that was nailed on her wings. However, as soon as the spiritual power touched the "stone nail", the "stone nail" emitted a strange green light. The pain that penetrated deep into her bone marrow made Lan Huiyu unable to help but struggle slightly.

"Little bluebird, don't move!" Tang He saw the little bluebird flapping its wings as if it was trying to fly, so more blood flowed from her wings, staining her beautiful blue feathers even more horribly. "I want to find a way to save you, don't move!"

Why are Black Cat Sheriff Ultraman and Calabash Brothers so slow to arrive this time!

Tang He was gurgling on the ground, but he couldn't move forward. He was so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps, like someone walking towards him.

Is he a villain? Or a hero who comes to save people?

Tanghe tried to stretch out his head, the only part of his body that could move, and then... he saw two humanoid monsters made of dark red mud walking towards him.

His tears fell down, how could the monster come first?

When Tu Jiaojiao and Lu Chizhou finally found the center of the formation, they discovered that at the very core of the formation, a child of six or seven years old was tied up with a rope made of yin energy. The child, who was still wearing a hospital gown and looked a little miserable, began to shed tears as soon as he saw them.

Tu Jiaojiao whispered: "This child must have suffered a lot. Seeing us coming, he got so excited. He must have suffered a lot..."

Lu Chizhou first looked at the child, whose tears were falling more and more as they moved forward, then looked at the wolfish looks on their bodies. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Boss, is it possible... that he was scared to tears by our current appearance?"

Even the most carefree child would find it hard to remain optimistic when he was tied up and thrown into such a hellish place, with no one to turn to, and the stone platforms around him were full of small animals that were nailed up and bleeding and dying. Not to mention that this child looked like he was taken directly from a hospital.

Sick children are even more sensitive!

Lu Chizhou grabbed Tu Jiaojiao, who was unaware, and was about to move forward, stopping three meters away from the child.

He smiled what he thought was the friendliest smile of his life: "Don't be afraid, kids. We are police officers."

He didn't lie. Their special team was responsible for maintaining peace in the outside world. They were a different kind of police.

Tang He, whose tears kept flowing, saw the two mud monsters stop and one of them said they were police officers.

To a kid of his age, the police are superheroes and good guys.

He sobbed and asked, "Are you, hiccup, really, the police?"

The two dark red mud monsters nodded together.

Tang He immediately started howling softly: "Uncle police, help me, wuwuwu——"

Finally someone came to rescue him!

But before his joy of being "saved" could last long, the two dark red mud monster policemen suddenly fell straight to the ground.

Yuga: “!!!”

"Uncle police!" He began to mutter again, trying in vain.

"We caught two little birds..." The man who was covered in strange black mist suddenly appeared behind the mud monster policeman silently. Two skinny hands stretched out from the black mist, like a skeleton wrapped in a layer of skin, grabbing the mud monster policeman's head. The black mist surged and wrapped them. After the mist dissipated, there were two more beautiful birds on the ground. Tang He recognized one of them. It was a particularly famous black phoenix.

The man shrouded in a strange black mist laughed, "Special Group 9... has fallen into my hands..."

Yuga closed his eyes silently.

Although it's a bit wrong to be distracted at this time, the villain's laughter is... so strange.
