Even though they had been living in this weird place for nearly a week, Lin Tianyin and Celier were still involuntarily shocked when they saw the darkness coming. The two people and the monkey stared blankly at the nucleus outside the room that had never been interrupted, but now it was almost extinguished, and an ominous premonition loomed in their hearts.
What the hell... what's going on?
I don't know if the residents here have anticipated this kind of thing, or who took the lead and shouted "Go!" excitedly, and then the entire safe area suddenly lit up sporadically.
This seems to have been prepared for a long time, and it is simply amazing.
Those people ignited a kind of flammable stone that is abundant in Area C, and the raging flames re-illuminated the entire area. The residents walked out of the house one after another, full of interest and emotions. This group of people seemed to be celebrating some festival, cheering and rushing towards the central square.
what happens? Could it be that the so-called Thanksgiving began?
But why did the light-providing "nucleus" go out? Is there any connection between this and the Eucharist?
Feeling very inexplicable about this situation, Lin Tianyin planned to see what was going on. Because the monkey was also terribly frightened and screamed and refused to be left in the house, Lin Tianyin had to let the monkey climb on her arm, and suspiciously followed the residents to the center with Celier. square.
Originally, this place was a little lifeless, but now it is more lively than ever before. The center of the square is burning with a blazing bonfire. The hot and dazzling fire light illuminates everyone who dances and dances here.
Lin Tianyin felt even more weird in his heart, so he patted the shoulder of a person next to him, and asked casually, "Dude, sorry to bother me, may I ask what the **** is going on now? Why is the sky darker?"
When the man heard the words, Lin Tianyin noticed that this was an ordinary middle-aged person with no characteristics. Like most people here, his eyesight was dim and he lacked enthusiasm for life, but he was also extremely excited at the moment. After seeing Lin Tianyin, he said enthusiastically, "Oh, are you new here? Didn't Master Chorov explain to you? We have a Thanksgiving Ceremony here every month."
"I know this, but what I want to ask is why the'nucleus' is not glowing?" Lin Tianyin pointed to the dark sky above, and she vaguely felt that the surrounding temperature seemed to drop after the thing went out, if it wasn't for the whole piece of safety The area has ignited the relationship between fire, and the current temperature is likely to be below zero.
"Ah? You mean'the sun'?" The man seemed quite calm, explaining as if he had been used to it, "Oh, nothing, the sun will suddenly go out one day every month. There One night will fall on this land. In order to let us remember the difficulties and difficulties of living here, and with the heart of gratitude for the gods who did not abandon us, we made this day a Thanksgiving sacrifice."
"Then when will the ‘sun’ return to light?"
"Generally speaking, after the eighth ring of the bell." The middle-aged man frowned and thought, "No one can estimate the exact time, but when the celebration is over. After everyone goes home and wakes up,' The sun' has already started to shine again."
It sounds incredible...Although I am curious about why, it seems that these people don't know the details themselves. Lin Tianyin always felt that there was a reason for the extinction of the "nucleus". Could it be related to the sea monster activity pattern, or the clues to escape from here? When Lin Tianyin began to seriously think about the various possibilities, Celer suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, didn't you see the Governor? Mr. Chorov is not there either."
"Oh, that's because the governor is going to complete a very hard task for us this day." The man laughed, as if he was already used to this kind of thing.
"What task?" Lin Tianyin asked curiously.
"Hehe, that's just a habit left by the ancestors." The man said of the Governor, with a more smile on his face. "On this day, in addition to thanking God for giving us precious food, the Governor will also bring tributes. Dedicated to the "acid spring", dedicated to the sea monster Umms who allows us to continue to survive safely. Although it is only some old habits, but for so many years, as long as we keep doing this, disaster will not come to this place and be blessed by God The territories of the world."
"So...but the resources here are already in short supply, what is the tribute to the sea monster?" Lin Tianyin asked habitually according to his logical thinking.
"I don't know. Sacrifice is a very important thing, and everyone will not leave the safe area to join in the fun. If the ceremony is interrupted, the sea monster's anger will cause the water level in the four districts to be chaotic."
This kind of rhetoric that sounds like an excuse... Lin Tianyin sneered in her heart. She didn't trust the Governor like the residents here. The so-called sacrifice to the sea monster must be tricky, but they still have no way of knowing the truth. There are too many secrets hidden in this place.
"Understood, thank you for answering us."
Celier thanked the other person, and suddenly circled Lin Tianyin, pulling her to turn around and walk back.
"Huh? What's the matter with you, don't you continue to participate in the celebration?" The man yelled at them from behind, looking confused, "Hey, it's about to start. Those who don't participate won't get the precious vegetables. Gone!"
"It's okay, our little fat girl is losing weight." Celier gave the man a smirk, waved his hand and said goodbye and continued walking. Hearing this, Lin Tianyin suddenly became furious, and immediately kicked Celil's calf, but this time he easily avoided it.
"What do you want to do? You can leave after you get what they distributed!" Lin Tianyin glared at him angrily, since there is no reason to return empty-handed. Although she hates vegetables, she doesn't want to miss any chance to receive food... and the vegetables here are so precious, maybe they can be used to exchange other things or information with others.
"Don't ask too much, come with me." Celer leaned close to her ear and whispered, his exhalation gently sprayed on her neck when he was talking, this feeling suddenly made Lin Tianyin shake all over her body——
"Hey, it's too close!"
Lin Tianyin immediately jumped away from Celer two steps like being burned. After all, even if Lin Tianyin's heart is full of violence for various reasons, he is still a girl anyway. She felt that her face was a little hot, but she secretly rejoiced that fortunately, this was not visible in the flames...
"Huh? What's the matter?" Celer was a little at a loss for a moment, but he reacted quickly, "Oh, yes, Shanoya is a girl, sorry, sorry, I will pay attention next time."
Hey, what's going on with that natural attitude! ? Didn't you realize that she was a girl before this? !
Celir laughed heartlessly, this situation made Lin Tianyin a little weak to complain. I can only say forget it in my heart, anyway, her young girl's heart has been dead since she wore a two hundred catties fat girl... Alas, she is not good enough, shouldn't complain about the update. The story is as good as a tiger. The wonderful plot is beautiful. The author Sharkzi, I heard that all readers who read her pirated articles weighed two hundred catties in the end...
In short, Lin Tianyin followed Celer with a heavy heart, and all the residents here would not lock their doors, because they did not have much private property, and the food was eaten that day, and nothing else could be stolen. Except for the high-level residents of the management, ordinary civilians have really achieved...Of course, the standard of living here is similar to that in the early days of liberation, but these people are used to being poor, so they can't feel their problems. North Korea still feels that it is the happiest country in the world...
Not long after following Celir, they found that they were about to reach the exit of the safe area. The two people "Tie Can" and "Skin Monkey" who had been guarding the exit were still patrolling and standing guard there. Lin Tianyin suddenly felt a little strange in her heart. In fact, the location of the safe area is very hidden, and even if it is normal, nothing will break into it at all. She always felt that these two guards were of no use at all. At this time, would they not go to the celebration?
But Lin Tianyin also couldn't figure out Celir's intention to bring her here, so he looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What are we doing here? Are you going to follow the Governor?"
Although she was also curious about what the Governor and the others were doing, it was obviously not a wise move... and quite dangerous.
"That's right." Celier pulled Lin Tianyin to squat behind a house, squinted at the two guards, and whispered, "I have been skeptical of these two guys, and now I am more sure of them. Guarding the entrance is not to prevent monsters from invading, but to monitor the residents here."
"That said, it is possible." Lin Tianyin frowned, "But if this is the case, we can't leave here, right? Even if they break through forcibly, they will report to the governor, then our trouble is..."
"Don't let them find out." Celer grinned, then turned to look at the monkey attached to Lin Tianyin's arm, and gently touched its head, "Afu, can you please lead them away?"
"That's Afu's monkey, called Pippi!" Lin Tianyin seriously corrected Celil. When Gagaf was away, she could only act as a Tucao. This feeling was not very good.
"Squeak!" I have to say that this monkey is very smart and human. Although it has always acted to hate Celir, it is still very cooperative when it is critical. The monkey nodded at the two of them, then slumped into the darkness on all fours, and ran towards the two guards.
"So sleepy, I said tin can, otherwise we will take turns to go to the Thanksgiving celebration in the square? I'm going to fall asleep boringly."
"No, you forgot that the governor told us to take good care of this place, don't you let the residents run out?"
"Who would run out at this time! We have been guarding for so many years and have never seen anyone going out at the Thanksgiving Festival?!"
"It's hard to say, this time there are three newcomers, in case they don't understand the rules..."
"They're not crazy! Even if they don't understand the rules, why do they run out at this time?"
At the exit of the safe area, the skinny monkey and the tin can are arguing over whether to steal some leisure time. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a flexible monkey jumped out of the darkness and quickly tore off the skinny monkey. The belt squeaked and ran away.
The skinny monkey and the iron pot were stunned for a few seconds at the same time. They stopped after seeing the monkey running not far. They triumphantly lifted the belt on their heads, and the two immediately jumped up on the spot.
"Damn! It's that monkey! Damn thief—"
"Grab it—"
The skinny monkey had to hold the slidable trousers in one hand, and the tin can raised the stick in his hand and chased the monkey. The monkey was indeed a habitual thief who got along with Ah Fu. He ran so fast that he disappeared in a slip of smoke. At the same time, Celier suddenly stood up from the corner, grabbing Lin Tianyin and rushing towards the exit.
"It's now, hurry up."
They followed Celer for a long time, and they finally slowed down a bit after they couldn't see the safe area. No one was chasing after they found them, and the surroundings were extremely quiet, and there was no light in the darkness.
The current situation is finally out of that lifeless environment, neither safe nor surveillance. Lin Tianyin was extremely disturbed, she clutched Celer's arm tightly, wondering what to do if she gets lost here. Today, the two of them didn't bring out any exploration tools... But then suddenly they heard the sound of flint and steel. After the sparks flashed, Celier lit the burning stone.
"Where did this come from?" Lin Tianyin looked at him slightly unexpectedly. This burning stone is also rationed, and the daily amount is only for roasting the food. Where did he get such a large piece?
"Oh, it was stolen." Celer laughed badly. "Those guys are too stingy. There are so many burning stones, so even if I take one, no one will care."
"..." Lin Tianyin decided to shut up.
Damn it! At first I thought this guy was a bit like a good person, but now he is still a typical pirate!
However, Lin Tianyin, who had stolen the prince’s purse, had no right to accuse others, so she decided to change the subject: "I remember that person said that the governor was going to the'Sour Spring' to make sacrifices. Do you remember the way of the'Sour Spring'? "
A few days ago, two people found the dead body of a sea animal with slime. Because of its relatively small size, they and John transported the dead body to the acid spring. Although I don't know if the ‘acid spring’ is the digestive gland of the sea monster, it just grows directly in the center of a flat fleshy wall, exuding weird blue ripples, like a huge pool. But when several people threw the corpse of the sea monster down, there was a wave of waves in the pool, but the corpse melted quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it had been absorbed, the scene felt very creepy.
Seeing that scene, Lin Tianyin felt like he would never be hungry again in this life, and he felt like vomiting. John took the opportunity to warn them not to approach here privately. If you accidentally fall in, no one will be able to save you. Therefore, after coming out of that area, Lin Tianyin forced herself to forget about it, but the terrifying picture always appeared in her mind, and she couldn't forget it anyway.
"Of course I remember, just follow me." Celier nodded, and didn't look back at Lin Tianyin. Lin Tianyin always had a bad premonition in his heart. The governor and the others deliberately went to the place to make sacrifices. I am afraid that the sacrifices will not be simple things.
However, it's like the more you worry about what will happen. Lin Tianyin's bad premonition came true again.
When the two people walked along the wall of flesh for a long time and finally noticed the fire in the distance, Celier quietly extinguished his burning stone, moving very quickly.
Facing the approaching firelight, the two people lowered their breaths and carefully approached the acid spring area hidden in the flesh wall. Looking from a distance, there were about four or five people holding torches, standing in front of the blue pool of water that exuded weird light, not knowing what they were discussing.
The distance was a little far away, even if Lin Tianyin tried to **** up his ears, he still couldn't hear what they were saying. But Celir suddenly made a bold move, hiding in the dark, and simply continued to approach along the flesh wall.
"Come back—what should I do if I was discovered—!" Lin Tianyin yelled in a low voice behind him, but Celier didn't pay attention to her at all. Lin Tianyin gritted his teeth and hesitated, and decided to move forward together.
Then at this moment, as more things could be seen as he moved forward, Lin Tianyin suddenly noticed that the center of the five people was actually tied to an old man who was forced to kneel on the ground, struggling.
——Old Captain!
Lin Tianyin took a breath, and suddenly an extremely terrifying thought flashed through her mind.
It seems that all the clues are connected in series at this time, and she seems to understand the various senses of violation and the secret of "nuclear"...
Isn't it... isn't it...
