close to death

The sky gradually darkened, and as night fell, there were bursts of noisy sounds in the city of Dark Night.

Probably all those disgusting guys got out, Ling Yun took the vampire transformation potion and poured it down his neck.

When the blood became cold, when the heart lost its warmth, and when the eyes lost their human brilliance, Ling Yun realized that he had become a complete vampire again.

At this moment, Ling Yun suddenly thought of a sentence: Selfishness and greed are like the cold current of Siberia. It can make your ideals go out of shape, stiffen your hands and feet, and freeze your blood. When you are temporarily in the dark night, you should know: the sun does not did not go off.

I don't know who said it, but it means a lot.

Walking slowly on the streets of Dark Night City, there is no warm atmosphere around. This place seems to be hell, and the eyes of those guys make people feel icy cold.

Surrounded by neon lights, Ling Yun reached out to stop a taxi.

"Where to," the vampire driver asked.

"Square," Ling Yun ran past a spar, "you don't need to look for it,"

"The square, it might be inconvenient to hold an event over there tonight," the vampire driver seemed a little hesitant. The moon worship ceremony will be held in the square tonight, and the three surrounding streets have been closed to traffic. Doesn't this guy know that?

Ling Yun had a cold war, and the pores all over his body stood up. There is an event tonight. Damn it, how did this pass through the time teleporter? Trying to calm down his restless heart, he threw another spar casually, "Let's go, arrive Just get off at the place closest to the square."

Seeing that the guy in front of him was a rich man, the vampire driver didn't say a word, he stepped on the accelerator, and the taxi roared away and disappeared into the street.

With 10,000 hour and [-] minutes left, Ling Yun stood on the roof of a building not far from the square, aiming his sniper rifle at the square, and saw that the night city square was crowded with [-]+ vampires gathering there , and beside that space-time shuttle, it seems that some kind of ceremony is being held.

Along with the noise in the crowd, a middle-aged vampire in bright clothes appeared on the altar in the center of the square. Wearing four super-long pheasant antelope feathers, and a necklace strung with skulls on his chest, it looks so weird. He is holding a red long dagger in both hands, exuding a bewitching blood under the hazy moonlight. Light.

At this time, four strong and strong vampires came out of the crowd solemnly, divided into four directions, and each carried a sacrificial offering covered in blue with tree sap, with a pointed headdress on the sacrificial head. The mouth was tightly blocked with linen cloth, it turned out to be a living person.

The scope of the Barrett sniper rifle has a thermal imaging function. The bodies and blood of those vampires are cold, and no thermal energy fluctuations can be seen, but white light is refracted from the sacrifice, and their hearts are pink. .

"Human Sacrifice," two cold words came out of Ling Yun's mind, and he couldn't help but feel creepy. He hurriedly lit another cigarette, took a few puffs, and let the strong smell of tobacco wash away his heart. That strange feeling.

The sacrificial offering was solemnly carried to the top of the altar, and he fell on his back to the ground. His back was a raised altar in the shape of a six-pointed star. His chest and abdomen protruded, and his head and limbs drooped naturally. The big vampire held down tightly, which is more conducive to "surgery,"

Accompanied by bursts of cheers, the sacrificial ceremony officially began.

I saw that guy reverently raised the sacrificial knife over his head, dancing a superstitious dance similar to Chinese hags, muttering words, while dancing the sacrificial dance, the sacrificial knife in his hand was quickly drawn on the sacrificial body, " The sacrifice" twitched in pain, but couldn't make a sound, which shows how painful he is.

This is the moon sacrifice ceremony in the City of Dark Night. The goddess of the moon is the wife of the sun god. They want to use the power of the moon goddess to calm the anger of the sun god. Because vampires are afraid of the sun, they only love the one who finally relies on the moon. Goddess body.

Even an ace agent with a strong psychological quality like Ling Yun, at this moment, is sweating profusely on his head, clenching his teeth tightly, the nerves in the corners of his eyes are constantly beating along with the sacrificial knife in his hand, his hands are white and trembling constantly As he said, the cigarette between his fingers had already been ravaged into a handful of shredded tobacco.

The "death ritual dance" finally stopped, put the sacrificial knife on the altar, turned around quickly, and accurately reached in from the wound under the left rib of the "sacrifice", and pulled out a bloody His heart, beating slightly, was lifted high by him. Under the pale moonlight, everything looked so bloody and terrifying.

"Ah Dawu's Da Da Er Fang Fei, (praise the Moon Goddess,) good wind on your knees, Pingge go to Rufaguo (pray for the safety of all vampires,)" the palm suddenly contracted, "poof," the heart in the hand It broke in an instant, and its skillful technique smeared on the totem statue of the moon goddess next to it, while the "sacrifice" who died tragically was thrown from the top of the altar by those big men.

There were still a few vampires waiting below, and they quickly peeled off the skin of the "sacrifice". At this time, the guy took off his linen priest robe, walked down the pyramid naked, and wiped the blood-soaked robe. All the remaining vampires cheered and scrambled to share the body of the dead.

After a while of "looting", the corpse turned out to be covered in blood. Several vampires picked out a few intact ribs and limbs from the "sacrifice" as a souvenir.

Squinting his eyes slightly, his gaze was like electricity, Ling Yun could only feel his temples throbbing violently, because he knew all of those vampires, including Landry, the curator of the Red Pavilion, that old vampire, and the daughter of the city lord of Night City Catherine.

The vampires who snatched human flesh were extremely excited under the bloody stimulation, and danced a crazy sacrificial dance...

"Grass, lunatics, they are all a group of lunatics," Ling Yun's hand holding Barrett was trembling, and he even wanted to pull the trigger a few times, but he couldn't calm down the shock in his heart for a long time.

The sacrificial activities of the vampires are still going on, but the countdown above the head is passing by every minute and every second. If this continues, it is estimated that the group of guys will not end in a few hours.

What to do, more than an hour has passed, and there are [-] minutes left.

Taking a deep breath, Ling Yun prepared to go to the night elf Miraka, put away the sniper rifle, and walked towards his hut, without attracting the attention of the surrounding vampires.
