Chapter 57 Detention
Chu Jinsui has never discovered that there is actually a mountain on the edge of the forest behind the cliff where she hides in Jihengzhou.

A barren mountain.

The dead woods, the cracked land, the barren hills without insects, ants, birds, and even the wind, everything on this mountain seems to be still.

It and the town in the distance have become two worlds, one is prosperous and rich, and the other is desolate and dry.

Walking on this mountain road, Chu Jinsui even suspected that the mountain was dead, lifeless, and even the air was dry and dull, with a strange smell of decay.

The filmmakers escorted her all the way up the mountain with various weapons and farm implements in their hands.

At the entrance of the pharmacy, after seeing the scars on the old man's body, the leader of the Tianshan Gate shut his mouth and did not speak any more, acquiescing that this year's sacrifice will be performed by living people.

Then the old man said that he would lock up the sacrifice.

So Chu Jinsui was taken away.

It's just that I didn't expect the people from Tianshan Gate to follow.

At this time, the patrolling disciples of Tianshan Gate also walked up the mountain with the shadow people.

Chu Jinsui's sword was taken away by the leader.

The person who knows the current affairs is Junjie, she did not express any objection to this behavior, and handed over the sword in her hand obediently.

The shadow people obviously wanted to do something, but they were stopped by the leader. The leader just reached out and took her sword to keep it, without restricting her actions.

It also seems that she can't pose a threat to so many people.

So she walked along beside the leader empty-handed, with a mighty group of shadow figures behind her.

At first glance, it looks like she is leading a large group of people up the mountain, but in fact she is the one being coerced.

She looked at the filmmakers around her, and didn't think she still had the strength to beat so many people to the ground, so she could only take one step at a time, as long as it didn't reach the last moment, there was still a turning point.

All secret realms and small worlds have exits, and this one is no exception.

Perhaps the sacrifice is the most important part of it. When the time comes to see the tricks, even if you lose your spiritual power, it may not be a dead end.

There is a simple house on the top of the mountain.

A brick wall with a tiled roof.

This is where they sacrificed?
This is too... shabby, right?
Chu Jinsui originally thought that even if the place where the sacrifices were held was not a temple like the one in the town, it would be a shrine or even a prison.

The result is a ramshackle little house on top of a hill?

"Go in." The old man said with a gloomy face, and countless chilling eyes fell on her.

Chu Jinsui walked into the dilapidated house without looking sideways.

There was a large open space in front of the house. She lowered her eyes and saw that the ground was pitch black, as if it had been burned by fire.

It appears that the method of offering the sacrifice was fire.

She went into the broken house.

The door closed behind her.

"Click." The lock was snapped.

The house is very small, only the size of a room.

The inside is very dilapidated, the tiles above are not covered tightly, and the sparse moonlight leaks in through the gaps.

Through this faint light, Chu Jinsui looked around.

Empty, nothing.

There was only one locked door, and windows with welded iron bars.

I didn't think it was wrong, it was no different from a prison.

Ok?
She saw sharply that there seemed to be scratches on the wall and the ground in the corner.

Walking quickly to the corner and squatting down, Chu Jinsui looked at the mark on the ground by the moonlight.

It looks like... traces of being caught.

She frowned, picked up a handful of soil, rubbed it with her fingertips, fine dark red powder fell from between her fingers.

is blood.

There were dried blood stains in the soil on the ground and on the walls.

She stretched out her hand and gestured lightly, then raised her head to look at the window with iron bars above.

That's right, it was the trace that the girl who was imprisoned here as a sacrifice caught when she was desperate.

Even the fingernails were scratched off, revealing the bright red flesh inside, which was printed on the ground and walls a little bit. He wanted to touch the freedom outside the window, but he could only struggle hopelessly, leaving only such imperceptible traces in the end.

A silent murder, a hopeless cry for help.

Chu Jinsui could almost imagine how the girl at that time looked up at the sky outside the window and wept, how her fingertips were bit by bit bloody.

Her expression turned cold.

There are too many thoughts in my mind, and it is a bit chaotic.

She sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and meditated quietly.

There is no spiritual energy here at all, and soon she will become a mortal without spiritual power.

She needs to sort out the clues she got before.

But before she could think about it, there was a slight friction sound.

"Master! Master!" a very soft voice called.

She opened her eyes, and there was a little paper man no bigger than her palm standing on the ground, trying to crawl into her lap.

?

Isn't this the paper man she sent back to deliver the medicine?How did you get here?

Paper dolls get lost too?so stupid?

The little paper figurine's voice was small and sharp: "Master!"

She frowned: "Didn't I tell you to go back and make medicine?"

The little paper figurine danced and danced: "I've prepared medicine for that person, but when he woke up, he said he would come to you."

Chu Jinsui had even more headaches: "Did you bring him here?"

She wasn't surprised that the paper figurine could find her, it had the spiritual power that she had injected into it, and could sense her position, but Ji Hengzhou was not as good as her now, didn't he come here like a sheep?

The little paper figurine was wronged: "He threatened to burn me if he didn't bring him to you."

She pinched the center of her eyebrows: "Are you not afraid that I will burn you?"

The climbing movement of the paper figurine froze suddenly: "I left him halfway! Master, don't be angry! I didn't take him up the mountain, he must still be looking for you at the bottom of the cliff."

Chu Jinsui raised his head and looked out of the window. At some point, the night had gradually dissipated, and the sky turned white.

Its daybreak.

She stood up and looked out the window.

Sure enough, those shadow people were gone.

The mountain is not high, and the location is very tricky - behind the cliff forest outside the town.

She thought that Ji Hengzhou might not be able to come here for the time being, the old injury was not healed, and he didn't have enough physical strength to go that far, so he probably couldn't come here.

Feeling inexplicably relieved, she picked up the little paper figurine, "Go to a crowded place in the town and ask about sacrifices."

"By the way, observe whether there are any wounds or scars on those people during the day."

The shadowman has already begun to look for sacrifices in a hurry, which means that the day of sacrifice is coming soon.

Before that, she must have enough information to judge whether her previous guess was correct. ·

The little paper man got her order and immediately jumped down from her palm: "Obey!"

It flew lightly to the window and got out through the gap.
