Blood of the Hunting God

Shaking his head, Tardiff looked at the man sitting on the ground again after giving the hunter a generalization.

"I won't be...sacrificed...that's great..."

Then, seeing the man let out a sigh of relief, it was like a big rock in his heart fell to the ground.

What the hell is going on with this guy?

Tardiff was a little confused about this farmer named Bakr.

"... Two master hunters, let me just say it. In fact, two months ago, my child was picked up by the fighting nun in Xingkong Town."

After a brief silence, Buckle, who seemed to have made up his mind, finally took a deep breath, and spoke respectfully.

"My child was born with a very serious disease, barely survived to the age of 5 and is already dying."

"I begged the priests and nuns in the church to save my child. They asked me if I wanted the child to survive anyway. I said yes, and three days later two fighting nuns came to Xingkong Town to pick up my child. gone."

"Since then, I have no whereabouts of my child. I went to ask the priest, but the priest only said that my child must be alive and making great contributions to the entire Star Country. Please don't ask me any more. "

"But...but I'm still uneasy. I want to see my child, even from a distance, but I didn't see where he was in the church, and I didn't dare to ask the priest and nun, for fear that they would find out later. Drive me away, or just beat me to death or something..."

In the end, the man's words were a little choked up.

It can be seen that this man is not lying, every sentence is sincere.

However, the hunter could also tell from Tardiff's tightly frowning that there were indeed no children in the church in Xingkong Town.

If this is the case, where is the child that the man said was taken away by the fighting nun?

"Would you like to go in and take a look?"

Then, Tardiff suddenly pointed to the side door of the church that was pried open by Buckle.

"To be honest, there are a lot of secrets in the church. The believers who believe in the god of the starry sky are more or less abnormal in their minds."

"Although I don't think they can do anything with Marman around, it's better to see it with your own eyes."

Tardiff said so, pulled Bakr up from the ground, walked into the half-open door first, and looked into the darkness inside.

Without speaking, the hunter also took a step forward and expressed his attitude.

"Two, two gentlemen?"

The man couldn't react for a while.

"What about your mother, why don't you hurry up and get out, I will do some good deeds today and help you find your son."

Amidst the cursing voices, the three disappeared into the darkness at the side door of the church.

Chapter 71: Going Deep

The dark interior of the church exudes a quiet and dead atmosphere.

Except for some faithful hunters, the church in Xingkong Town is rarely approached by people. After all, most of the gods who like wild and bloody sacrifices are in fear. Only those battle nuns and priests who have been passed down from generation to generation will settle down for a long time in the church.

Walking through corridors carved with stone statues of hideous monsters, masked female sculptures holding children in their hands, and huge demons opening their bloody mouths

Swallowing children together with women's arms, and on the walls farther away are countless sculptures of tortured victims who were skinned and fleshed out alive.These terrifying carvings clearly reveal the brutality of the Lord of the Stars. As a sect that believes in this god, it seems somewhat weird to show such things so neatly, but under such circumstances, it can indeed be quite To a certain extent, fanatical blind believers are prevented from appearing.

Perhaps it is the purpose of the Church of the Stars to make human beings be forced to soberly believe in this god in fear and fear?

"Damn it, I really don't like this ghostly place. I feel like I'll lose a year of my life if I come here once."

Tardiff cursed in a low voice, obviously feeling extremely uncomfortable with the atmosphere created by the terrifying sculptures around him.

"My child...Joseph, is he really in this kind of place..."

Buckle was trembling. He was obviously more afraid of these sculptures because he had no culture and knowledge, but the father still mustered up his courage at this time and insisted on moving forward.

As for the hunter, he was naturally not affected by this weird atmosphere at all, but even so, the hunter was actually not feeling well.

After all, right now he was trying to restrain himself, to rummage through every drawer and open every box, to see if there was anything worth taking away inside.

step-step-

The sound of footsteps was very clear in the empty building. It seemed that a few battle nuns were passing by. Tardiff skillfully grabbed the hunter and Buckle and squatted down in a corner, signaling them not to make any noise.Soon, the candlelight came from not far away, and then went away quickly. After a long period of cultivation, those battle nuns have become ascetic, and even keep silent in daily life. Father Malman in Star Town gave them the order to serve the hunters.

Shouldn't it be found?

The other party passed by quickly without stopping, and it seemed that they hadn't noticed the three of them.

Tardiff first raised his head and looked around, but saw no one, and then motioned for the hunter and Buckle to stand up.

After passing through two corridors, they came to a place that seemed to be a hall. The surrounding environment was still extremely dark. Although Tardiff and the hunter would not be greatly affected, Bakr had already started bumping into the wall from time to time.Fortunately, the church was relatively empty, and nothing that could make a loud sound was touched.

"Why isn't there a light in this damn place..."

After cursing in a low voice, Tardiff tried to open a door, and saw a staircase extending down into the darkness.

If the light is so dim, even a trained hunter can't see the road clearly.

"Need a light?"

At this moment, someone asked from behind.

"Depend on!"

After cursing, they quickly turned around, and subconsciously took out Tardiff who was throwing the knife, and then saw Father Marman standing behind them who was lighting the burning stone lantern.

At this moment, the priest was wearing the usual clergy robes, thin white hair could be seen on his dry face, and the expression on his face was as calm as ever.The priest, who is 50 years old this year, looks like a sick old man in his 80s. It is said that this is a side effect of believing in the master of the stars and establishing contact with him. After receiving the gift of the gods, the result is accelerated exhaustion, and soon There are all sorts of weird ailments that can come with age.

He obviously looked old and out of shape, but in the end he was able to touch it without making a sound. Even the hunter showed a somewhat surprised expression. Obviously, this priest still has some skills.

"Father, I, I..."

Buckle, who knelt down instinctively, couldn't even raise his head to look at Father Malman.

"You don't need to kneel to me. The church does not prohibit outsiders from entering. You can actually go through the main entrance."

As Marman said this, his gray-black eyes rested quietly on the trembling man kneeling on the ground. After a slight pause, he seemed to understand what had happened.

"Bakr, are you the tenant farmer in Grape Town? You...so that's the case. Are you here to find Joseph?"

Can actually recognize each other?

The hunter and Tardif hadn't understood the situation yet, but Bakr immediately froze, obviously not understanding the current situation.

"I was also present when the Battle Sister picked up your child, but I was wearing the attendant's cloak and robe at the time, so you couldn't see my face."

Before Buckle's question came out, Marman, who already understood what the other party was wondering, explained it directly.

"But, but, Father Priest..."

"I will personally pick up each selected child and confirm the family status of the other party. For this reason, there is no need to mobilize many teachers, just keep a low profile."

Marman who said this walked forward slowly, walked to the door that Tardiff opened, stopped before standing in front of the dark stairs, and turned to look at the three people in front of him.

"Your son Joseph is indeed here."

Malman's voice was so calm that there seemed to be no ups and downs.

"But now he can no longer recognize you, nor can he communicate with you."

"If you really must see him, I can agree. As for the two Mr. Hunters, you can also go together."

"But I hope you can be mentally prepared, because the next thing may be more difficult than yours.

Expected worse. "

What kind of weird words are these?

Tardiff frowned, vaguely aware of something.

"Master Priest, is my child really still alive?"

Buckle stood up tremblingly. The father didn't pay attention to the meaning of the priest's words, but was sincerely happy because he knew an answer.

"Father Malman will not deceive others. He said that if your child is alive, he must be alive. That's fine, you can stay here, don't go down."

Then, Tardiff patted Bucker on the shoulder and said seriously to him.

"Hey, but, I, I still want to..."

"Don't trouble the priest. It's already treason for a tenant to come in and trouble a priest to answer you, understand?"

"Ah, I, I..."

"Well, how about me and the hunter going down for you? We are hunters, and our status is higher than yours. Let's help you look at your son's situation and tell us what characteristics your son has, what hair color, height and weight, After a while, we will come out and let you know the situation."

"Ah, ok, ok, thank you Master Hunter, my son Joseph, he has gray hair, blue eyes, he is very short and thin, only as tall as my waist..."

"Okay, okay, I got it, get out of here."

In a few words, Tardiff drove Bakr away, and Father Malman called a combat nun to take the restless father away, and then there were only two hunters and one in the room. The unpopular priest in the town.

The hunter frowned, although sometimes he might look a little dumbfounded, but he is not an idiot, Tardif drove Bakr away so simply, and Father Malman made it clear that there was something in his words, obviously this matter was by no means superficial. It seems so simple.

"You are a good hunter hero, Mr. Tardiff. Many people in this town are immersed in drunkenness, but you are different from them. Although you are vulgar and violent, you still have the morals you are willing to uphold. In your heart Understand what is noble, you are the hero that this town, no, this country, the whole human civilization needs."

"Of course if you can drink less and get into fights and beat up groups of people badly every time, you can definitely get better."

Malman said to Tardif very seriously.

"Don't give me a high hat, take me down, I have to confirm with my own eyes what's going on with that fool's son."

Taking a deep breath, Tardiff's expression looked a little gloomy.

The hunter took a step forward silently, and also expressed his attitude.

Father Malman nodded knowingly, then stepped on the downward staircase leading to the underground area, leading the way for the two of them.

"I can understand the nobility of being a hero. You can always stand up for the injustice in front of you."

"But I hope that after a while, you can calm down and not get excited, at least you can keep calm until you finish listening to my explanation."

It must be admitted that the more the priest said this, the more disturbing it became.

The quiet staircase continues to extend, as if it is going straight to hell. The further you go, the colder the surroundings become, as cold as if soaking in the bone marrow of a person.After walking up such stairs for a minute or two, the three of them reached the bottom, walked through a corridor, and came to a small room.

The foul, almost vomit-like stench can already be smelled outside the door.

Hunter and Tardiv looked into the room. In the only room that was lit, there were three low platforms that resembled beds, and there was something placed on each platform.

Should a... be described as something?

Or……

"What is this... what is this?"

Even Tardif, who has seen a lot, exhaled deeply several times at this moment, before forcing himself to calm down and ask.

"..."

The hunter who didn't speak had already realized something, and instinctively pulled out the meat saw from his waist and looked towards Marman in front.

"They are our sins, the consequences of our crimes, your strength, and the children of those poor people..."

"Yes, little Joseph, here he is."

Marman, who was always calm, stretched out his hand and pointed to one of the platforms.

Chapter 72: The Truth

How to describe this thing?

The hunter did not see its hands and feet, nor its facial features.

The round, egg-shaped swollen flesh and blood are wrapped in a light yellow thing that seems to be human skin.It is about 1.5 meters high and 1.6 meters high, lying on the bed and wriggling from time to time.On top of this piece of flesh, you can still see a slightly smaller thing that looks like a head, but without facial features or hair, it's just a mass of flesh wrapped in skin.

Some metal pipes pierced the top of the thing, two large pipes pierced the underside of the thing, which seemed to be responsible for the discharge of urine and feces, and one pipe pierced what seemed to be the stomach or something, connected to what appeared to be some Kind of like dealing with equipment.And on the small piece of flesh above the large piece of flesh, there are two smaller pipes penetrating through the skin and connecting to the flesh.

"call--"

Dull, it seems to be the sound of breathing.

This one is lying on the bed,

The piece of flesh wrapped in human skin is gently rising and falling, breathing.

"call--"

In a small room, there are three bed boards and three human-shaped pieces of meat.
