Chapter 265 Sacrificial Site
"Ade, we're going to be hunters soon!"
“Ouch!”
Vic opened his eyes and saw a broken window in front of him. Through the window he could see the foggy night sky outside.
"A nightmare?"
Hearing a familiar voice, Vic turned around and saw Bai Wei sitting not far from him, throwing firewood into the campfire.
The flames licked the firewood, making a crackling sound, which echoed the "bang bang" sound made by the corpse outside the house pushing the door constantly.
"Are you still awake?" Vic asked.
"Yeah, maybe I'm getting to the destination soon, so I'm quite excited."
Vic was a little curious: "Are you excited too?"
"I'm talking about you." Bai Wei said calmly, "You've been talking in your sleep since you fell asleep. You've woken me up several times."
"...I'm sorry." Vic didn't know if he was talking in his sleep, but he knew he was dreaming, so he sat up straight, looked around the small house they were in, and said softly, "That was the first night that Ade and I spent here."
"You already said that."
"Ah? Did you say that in your sleep?"
"No, you told me when we first got here that you found this house. Did you forget?" Bai Wei said, "You also said that your puppy seemed a little abnormal that night."
"Ade is a wolf." Vic was still unwilling to give up proving Ade's identity, but he hesitated after saying it, "Did I already say that? Well, I don't have much memory, but I can slowly recall what happened at that time. That was the first night Ade and I spent in this house. Ade looked a little uncomfortable."
Yes, Bai Wei and Weike have arrived at the sacrificial site... or more accurately, they have arrived at the outskirts of the sacrificial site.
Senluo's sacrificial site is not a simple stand. It covers a large area and is located in the valley. It takes several days to walk from the outer edge to the deepest part.
After all, the sacrificial site is a place to communicate with the God of Senluo. In a sense, it can be regarded as half of the god's residence. When the God of Senluo was still alive, hunters who wanted to meet the God of Senluo also needed some twists and turns and tests. This road to meeting the god is definitely not as simple as walking straight to the end.
Now, the God of Senluo is dead, but this does not mean that the road has become easier.
Otherwise, how could Vic not only lose his memory but also his dog after the trip?
Before arriving here, Vic could not remember any of the last time he came here, but after arriving here, he immediately recalled some of it, and took Bai Wei to find this relatively intact house to spend the night to resist the zombies.
"What's wrong with that little wolf?"
"Ade is not a wolf, he is..." Vic was halfway through his words, and then he was stunned, "Hey? Why did you say Ade is a wolf this time?"
"What?" Bai Wei said calmly, "So I'll continue to say it's a dog?"
"No, no, no, Ade is the wolf!" Vic shook his head repeatedly, and then, as if he was afraid that Bai Wei would continue to dwell on the topic of whether it was a wolf or a dog, he immediately continued, "Ade was always normal before he came here, but after arriving here, he felt that he was very... anxious."
"anxiety?"
"Yes." Vic tried to recall the scene at that time. "It was acting very uneasy. It kept circling in the house, swishing its tail, and roaring at the zombies outside the house... It just seemed very anxious."
While Vic was talking, Bai Wei glanced at his legs out of the corner of his eye.
I saw his legs shaking constantly, and his torn shoes stepped on the dry grass, making a "crunching" noise, which was very harsh.
But he seemed not to notice and continued talking.
"I've never seen Ader like that before. His reaction made me think there was something dangerous outside the house, other than a zombie." Vic said, "But I never found anything, and I didn't smell anything strange. But to be on the safe side, I didn't sleep that night and waited until dawn."
"Did you find anything after dawn?" Bai Wei asked.
Vic shook his head: "No, nothing was found, but Ade returned to normal after dawn."
"It's back to normal after daybreak?" Bai Wei said, "It seems like there is something hiding in the darkness."
“But I didn’t see anything.”
"Don't you know? Dogs can see things that people can't see."
"...Is that so." Vic began to think subconsciously, and only realized after a while, "No, Ade is a wolf!"
Bai Wei shrugged and didn't argue.
And Vic's mood quickly became depressed.
"I clearly felt that something was wrong with Ade at that time." He whispered, "But I didn't think much about it. If I had taken Ade away at that time, would the things that happened later not have happened?"
"You should know that you are lying to yourself." Bai Wei said, "The Wildfire Cultists have called you a saint. They planned for you and the little wolf to come here. Do you think they will let you leave?"
"You mean, they were staring at us at that time?" Vic became nervous. "So at that time, maybe Ade smelled their scent and kept barking?"
"I don't know."
Vic was a little hesitant. He asked Bai Wei, "Father Uru, do you think we can find the answer this time?"
Before Bai Wei could say anything, Vic quickly shook his head again, and his slightly confused tone instantly turned firm.
"No matter what, I'm going to find the answer."
Um……
Bai Wei looked at Weike's stubborn face and nodded with satisfaction.
It seems that the old hunter and the little girl still had a profound influence on her.
"You must remember your words." Bai Wei said with a smile.
"Of course!" Vic shook his fist again, and then looked at Bai Wei with a little confusion, "But... Father Uru, I still don't know why you came here."
"You don't have to worry about this." Bai Wei chose a comfortable position and lay down. "I'm just a bystander."
"Bystander?"
"Yes, you can understand that I am just watching from the sidelines." Bai Wei said with a smile, "I will not intervene to change anything."
"Uh." Vic tilted his head, "But when you were in the town of Yade, you wanted to change the orientation of that drugstore boss."
"…You want to talk about religious orientation?"
"yes."
"Remember to finish your words next time." Bai Wei said calmly, "Also, shut up now. I need to rest."
"……oh."
Vic scratched his head and fell silent.
But Bai Wei couldn't rest for long. Soon the sound of the corpse ghost knocking on the door disappeared, and after a while, the sunlight pierced through the darkness and shone in.
It's dawn.
Bai Wei could only sigh deeply and slowly got up.
Ever since he traveled through time, he has lost the ability to sleep.
As a night owl in my previous life, I now miss the feeling of sleeping.
Bai Wei didn't know if the reason he couldn't sleep was because he hadn't found his own body yet. After all, he had been attached to his bed since he was a child, and using someone else's body was like sleeping in someone else's bed. He would never feel at ease no matter how he slept.
But other people's beds are also divided into good and bad. For example, Helvinia's body is the most comfortable for sleeping, Uru's body is the most uncomfortable for sleeping, and Gerard's is neither good nor bad.
But after using this body, Uru can only rank second.
After all, this body is different from the other three. To be more precise, it should be a corpse. The feeling of sleeping on it is just like lying in a cold coffin. It is uncomfortable no matter how you toss and turn.
In other words, being able to act independently would give him some extra points, otherwise Bai Wei would really want to go back to being an old grandfather and sleep with others.
Oh, I miss Hevinia's body.
After complaining in his heart for a while, Bai Wei stood up straight, then turned to look at Vic: "It's time to set off..."
He paused mid-sentence.
Because he found Vic looking at him.
But those eyes... were dark green.
Bai Wei narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Vic?" he spoke first.
Vic didn't respond. He squatted in the corner. The morning mist condensed into a faint white mist between the two of them, making them look a little hazy and unreal.
Bai Wei called Vic's name again. Vic still didn't speak. He just tilted his head. His dark green eyes were like two balls of green fire that ignited out of thin air in the white mist, as if they were going to set everything on fire.
"Ade." Bai Wei changed his name.
This time, there was an obvious emotional fluctuation in Vic's eyes, as if he was responding to Bai Wei.
"I see. You are Ade?" Bai Wei slowed down his voice so that Vic could hear more clearly. "Do you know who I am?"
Vic didn't respond.
"It seems that you don't know." Bai Wei asked again, "Do you remember what happened?"
Vic still didn't respond.
It was like he had no reaction to anything except the name "Ade".
Bai Wei waited for a while, and then suddenly said.
"You got eaten by Vic, didn't you?"
Hearing these words, Vic's calm green eyes immediately changed.
Hatred and anger.
All kinds of negative emotions came up.
There was also a gurgling sound in his throat, as if he was chewing, or as if he was suppressing a roar.
Bai Wei watched as Weike leaned down as if he wanted to pounce on him.
But the next second, his movements stopped, and the green in his eyes quickly faded.
It wasn't long before Vic returned to his current clear and stupid self.
"Father Uru?" He tilted his head and looked at Bai Wei, "Are you still awake?"
Bai Wei was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "Yeah, maybe I'm getting excited because we're almost there."
"Uh, really." Vic looked out the window, "Ah, it's already daybreak."
"Yes." Bai Wei did not repeat the previous conversation, nor did he tell Vic about his change. He just smiled and said, "It's time to go find your puppy."
"Ade is a wolf." Vic corrected Bai Wei with some dissatisfaction, "How many times do you want me to say it, Ade is a wolf."
"Okay, okay, it's a wolf." Bai Wei pushed open the door and walked out first.
Outside the house is a straight path leading deep into the valley.
Vic followed quickly.
Bai Wei pointed to the road in front of him and asked, "Do you remember this is the road?"
Vic nodded: "Yes, because this is the only way into the mountain."
"And then what?"
"After that... I can't remember."
"Tsk, it looks like I have to go to the next save point to unlock it."
"What to save?"
"Nothing." Bai Wei shook his head and said with a smile, "Let's continue on our journey."
Half a day after the two left.
"Gurgle gurgle."
A strange sound came from the forest.
After a while, there was a "pop" sound.
A pale arm stretched out, with five rotten fingers firmly stuck in the ground.
But the arm was still exerting force, just like a drowning person who finally grabbed a corner of the shore and then dragged it with all his might.
Then, a huge "ball of flesh" was dragged out of the woods by it.
This is a mass of flesh composed of countless limbs, as if dozens of people were killed, amputated, thrown into a pool of mud, stirred, and finally cooled down.
"Gurgle gurgle."
A strange sound came from the piece of meat again.
If you look carefully, you can see various heads deep inside the meat.
The reason why it is said to be various is because there are humans, animals, and... half-human, half-wolf monsters.
They looked like they were already dead, as their heads had long been separated from their bodies and their faces were so pale that no blood could be seen.
But they seemed to be still alive, because everyone had their eyes open, their mouths open, and they kept making sounds.
It was that "gurgling" sound, and if you listened more carefully, you could still hear a few vague bytes from it.
"Visas..."
The piece of meat was moved little by little to the front of the hut with the help of one hand.
When it arrived in front of the hut, it was as if it had smelled a familiar scent. All the heads screamed in an instant, and all the broken limbs stretched out from the flesh, reaching towards the hut impatiently.
Almost in an instant, they tore a big hole in the wall of the cabin and rushed in.
Soon, the hut collapsed.
But they couldn't be crushed to death and they crawled out again.
"No! No! No!"
They said in unison.
So they continued searching, and soon set their sights on the only road.
"Visas! Visas!"
"There! There!"
They said this, and then moved forward again, trying to catch up with Bai Wei.
But he stopped before he took two steps.
Some heads were still looking forward, while others abruptly looked behind them.
"Visas."
"Behind! Behind!"
They began to cry.
"In front! In front!"
Another group of heads answered.
They diverged.
Then the disagreement escalated and finally there was a loud "rip".
The piece of meat was split into two halves, just like a rotten apple, after being cut, countless worms "stuck out" from the flesh.
They roared, then rushed forward one after another and soon disappeared.
…
On the other side, "Front Fang", who was about to enter the sacrificial field, raised his head somewhat uneasily.
"…What's going on?"
