The red moon returns

Chapter 9 The struggle of the sacrifice (please follow up)
  October 5, 13:22.

Countdown to one hour and thirty minutes.

After spending the rest of his three and a half hours, Lynch finally saw the true face of the culprit for the first time.

Before he could see clearly, he felt a huge fear rushing towards his face, far more intense than the photo, making Lin Qi feel like a light on his back.

Just as fear struck him, a vision suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

Biting cold wind, barren land, primitive mud houses, and thin livestock.

and a ruined city.

Those buildings that can barely be called houses are all made of mud, with extremely primitive shapes, and are built messily together to form a certain scale.

There is a large empty space in the center of the city. At this time, a group of strange creatures are gathering in the empty space, shouting in an incomprehensible language.

There are more than a hundred of them. These creatures have faces that are half human and half lizard. They are covered with thick hair. They are nearly three meters in size and covered with explosive muscles. Their upper bodies are rickety and two huge claws hang down by their sides. , almost dragging to the ground.

There was a stabbing pain in the brain, and then the image disappeared. The strange statue was still in front of him, and a gentle voice sounded in his head.

[Mysterious object, the joy of the flicker, give your flesh and soul, and I will give you strength, my food. 】

"Mr. Leviev, you'd better leave as well. Uncontrolled strange objects are dangerous."

When Lynch came back to his senses, he found that the screaming men in blue uniforms had been dragged out by their mentally stable colleagues. Only Officer Natalie was left, squatting next to the statue, saying without looking back:

"I will suppress it immediately and try to complete it within an hour and a half. You will be outside..."

"I have been struggling until now, of course I have to continue to fight to the end. This is self-help."

"I'm not looking down on you, Lynch. I recognize your efforts and abilities, but the degree of danger inside is unknown, and there is no reason for an ordinary person to take risks. You are not a soul changer and have no fighting power. If you are affected, you may die faster. .Trust me, I'm a professional at handling mysteries, leave it to me."

"But I don't like watching others risk their lives for me while I just wait on the side. In my opinion, even if I survive, it would be a shame. If I can't do anything, forget it, but you said that the inspiration is keen. I am useful to what people mean to you."

"You..." Officer Natalie gritted her teeth angrily, but finally sighed, "Okay, you are qualified to insist, but then don't blame me for treating you like a professional."

Lin Qi smiled, took off his hat, put it on his chest, and bowed slightly.

"Randall and the others were performing a certain ritual but we interfered with it midway. As a result, the magical object got out of control and they were backlashed, killing themselves. Now if we want to end the effect of the magical object, we must enter the ancient memory carried by the magical object. Suppression and containment, but the most troublesome thing is that we don’t know anything about this ancient memory and cannot advance..."

"The Flicker's Pleasure." Lynch directly interrupted Officer Natalie's regret, "There is another story. Give your flesh, blood and soul, and I will give you strength, my food."

The answer came so quickly that Officer Natalie was so gagged that she couldn't speak for a long time.

"You..." The police officer clenched her fists, not knowing whether to be happy or depressed. "This story sounds like a sacrificial item, so I probably understand what happened."

"Ok?"

"They are believers of this ancient flicker, and they are probably sacrificing you in a special way. You are now the sacrifice." The police officer grabbed Lynch's wrist and pulled him towards the statue, "Now It’s still too late to regret, it will be too late when we enter the memories of strange objects.”

Lin Qi touched the red moon pendant on his chest and smiled casually.

"Okay, then follow me, look at the strange objects carefully, relax your will and don't resist, we will appear together after a while, you..."

When he first looked at it, he still felt panic and depression caused by the filth. However, after staring at it for a few seconds, Lynch felt that the statue began to twist and gradually turned into a whirlpool. His consciousness seemed to be falling into the depths of the whirlpool. Everything is getting blurry.

The next moment, Lin Qi suddenly woke up. The moment he regained consciousness, he suddenly subconsciously held his breath.

The strong smell of blood stimulated his sense of smell, making him instinctively feel the danger, and he immediately became silent and motionless.

There were a large number of cold and stiff foreign objects around him, which gave him an ominous premonition. He narrowed his eyes and looked around quietly.

Dead body.

Mountains of corpses.

They are all human beings, both male and female, wearing animal skins, exuding a primitive and savage atmosphere.

The surrounding environment was very cold, and the body was frozen cold, but it was still soft. It was obvious that he had just died not long ago.

These corpses were piled next to the statues seen in the vision. There were several similar piles around them, and those huge strange creatures were lying on the ground in several circles outside, making deafening roars from their mouths. .

The distance was actually still far away, at least thirty or forty meters, but the huge pressure emanating from the groups of monsters had already hit his face, causing Lin Qi's body to tense up involuntarily, and his hands and feet to become weak and weak.

The most important thing is that Officer Natalie is missing.

There was only a stiff corpse beside him, and Lynch didn't know why she didn't appear beside him as he said before.

Something wrong with her experience? Why separated?
  [You are the sacrifice, the awakener. 】

That’s why I appeared at the place of sacrifice, even holding hands was of no use.

Lin Qi felt panicked. No matter what he said just now, he was thrown into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. There were a bunch of monsters around him, and he started to tremble instinctively.

Lin Qi, not to mention that the body beneath him had already been shaken by the sound of heavy footsteps.

The next moment, a huge black shadow covered the sky, and Lin Qi's heart sank to the bottom.

A huge monster that looked like a leader walked up to Lin Qi and stretched out its claws towards Lin Qi condescendingly.

Lin Qi was trembling all over, and his only thought was to run away.

But there are monsters around, where to run? How can I hide this one from you?

No, the direction of the claws is wrong, the target may not be me.

What should I do, should I run away? Staring at the outstretched paw with squinted eyes, Lin Qi suddenly gritted his teeth, suppressed the fear in his heart, and closed his eyes tightly.

Bet once and die.

Bet you can't see the problem.

Praying in his heart, Lin Qi gritted his teeth and remained motionless. He only felt a gust of wind coming from the surface of his body. It was the wind brought by the leader's claws. This made his heart beat like a galloping horse, and it became faster and faster.

The claws touched his body at an unknown point, causing his heart to sink to the bottom completely. But the next moment, it moved against his body and grabbed another corpse next to him, carrying it as lightly as a toy. inside.

With a random wave of his sharp claws, and with a heartbreaking sound of muscle tearing, the body was divided into several pieces on the spot. The residual limbs and internal organs fell to the ground, and the smelly and sticky blood spattered all over Lynch's body. Face.

The roar intensified and was full of excitement. The leader's claws deftly picked up the fallen limbs, walked towards the statue, piled all the corpses together next to the statue, then raised his arms and howled to the sky.

"Survived!"

Lin Qi also had the urge to look up to the sky and howl. He felt the blood in his chest surge up, and even his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

"I survived!"

He was only one step away from death, and until now, he felt a wave of fear.

No, you must first find a way to save yourself.

Reluctantly calming himself down, Lynch took advantage of the monster's absence and squirmed as quietly as possible, trying to get to an inconspicuous place next to the pile of corpses.

It was quite difficult. Fortunately, the surrounding monsters were all focused on the leader in front of the statue, and no one paid attention to the pile of corpses around him. This allowed Lynch to finally get around to the back of the pile of corpses after trying several times intermittently. The location of the statue.

Phew, at least I don’t have to be chosen next, I...

Just after he breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his hanging heart, Lin Qi's expression suddenly changed.

His last movement was a little bigger, and the force balance of a corpse was broken, and it slowly tilted to one side.

It was too late when he noticed it. Lin Qi didn't even have time to jump up and hold him up. He could only watch as the body became more and more crooked, and finally rolled down under the pile of corpses.

puff.

The movement of the corpse rolling down was very small, and the roars of the monsters outside were not affected, but the roar next to the statue stopped abruptly.

It’s over.

His heart was completely cold, and with a glimmer of hope, Lin Qi turned his eyes and looked to the side.

Don't notice it.

However, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a huge figure leaping up lightly and appearing next to the pile of corpses. He raised his sharp claws and plunged them down.

Unable to maintain his composure any longer, Lin Qi used all his strength to roll along the pile of corpses. He heard the sound of a sharp knife entering flesh, followed by blood overflowing.

The sharp claws almost missed Lynch's body, and a crack was cut in his windbreaker. The claws stuck close to Lynch and penetrated into the pile of corpses below, easily tearing apart several frozen corpses.

Before he could even take a breath, the leader's claws had been raised again.

Lin Qi's eyes were about to burst, and his hair was about to explode. He wanted to dodge again, but the rolling just now had exhausted all his strength. His body could not keep up with his thoughts, and he could only watch the leader's claws raised higher and higher. Taking up the entire field of vision.

"Roar."

Chaotic roars came from outside, but Lynch was disappointed to find that the leader's attention was not attracted. The lizard's face was expressionless, and its vertical pupils were full of coldness.

Then the claws suddenly swung down.

Damn it, the mysterious world is really too dangerous for ordinary people.

It would be great if I also had the ability to fight.

Damn it, move your body again.

However, there was no time to make any move, and he could only watch the sharp claws falling from the sky.

At this moment, a cold snort sounded from behind the leader.

"What do you want to do to the people I protect?"

The next moment, Lynch saw a scene that might touch his life.

Amidst the sharp shouts, a human figure suddenly appeared next to Lin Qi, blocking the path of the claws.

The huge monster is terrifying and ferocious, but the human in front of it is thin and thin. Two contrasting figures meet in front of it.

The human wears a windbreaker and top hat, holds a sword, has long hair draped over his shoulders, and has a cold and resolute face. Even when facing a monster that is half his body taller, the human still straightens his back, without a hint of cowardice in his expression, and raises the scabbard with one hand. of sword.

Dang bang.

The claws and sword held each other in the air for a moment, and then the huge leader staggered back.

The human took advantage of the situation and strode forward, kicking the monster in the chest. The leader watched as his body of several hundred kilograms was kicked upwards, smashed towards the statue, and fell into a pile of broken corpses.

At this time, the human turned around calmly, raised his hat and bowed slightly to Lynch, his voice was upright and clear.

"Mr. Lynch Levy, I've kept you waiting."

Officer Natalie Angell arrived.
