The paper figurine wives I raised in the cloud are all real.

Nearly three weeks have passed since summer vacation.

This summer vacation lasts forty days.

That is, half of the summer vacation is over.

But...only three weeks?

An Qing thought school was about to start.

He remembers that it took him a week or two just to write the setting.

How come it's only been three weeks... Never mind, what was I thinking.

An Qing shook his head helplessly and put this matter behind him.

Isn't this good?Wouldn't it be nice if the summer vacation goes by slowly?

The slower the better!

Better have an endless August!

An Qing was even a little worried that checking the time would make the next half of the holiday pass faster.

........

ps: Speaking of which, I remember writing in the previous article that the protagonist’s perspective can only stay on Kaguya.

Later, I mentioned that because the protagonist found it troublesome, the perspective was upgraded so that he could move at will.

I forgot whether I wrote this point down. If I didn’t write it down, I’ll just add it here. Anyway, it’s an irrelevant thing.

124. Interlude, ignorant sacrificial ceremony

The next night, Kaguya invited the ghost kings to gather at the monster market.

Although there was a lot of commotion last night, tonight's monster market was not significantly different from last night.

These monsters probably knew that nothing happened on the other side of the country.

As soon as they arrived at the monster market, Anqing pulled Yakumo Murasaki over again.

Of course, Yakumo Blue and Hakurei Miko are also indispensable.

There is no rush to meet Ibuki Suika and the others, let's go shopping first.

Yesterday, I was only halfway through my stroll when I was interrupted by the movement from Dajiangshan.

There was a little incident while shopping.

Several men carried a coffin into the city.

It's nothing. In a place like this, let alone a coffin, it's normal to see death and demons.

However, An Qing and his party discovered that these people were all mortals.

They are all true mortals whose level does not exceed level [-].

If you look at it in reality, you may not be able to defeat ordinary people because of malnutrition.

Their bodies were smeared with mud and rotten blood.

In this way, their aura as humans is concealed.

So they entered the city smoothly and found an empty house in a remote place.

"Grandma...can this really happen?"

"Can this suppress the evil spirits in the village?"

"Shut up! This is a spell taught by an immortal. Will the immortal still lie to us?"

"This... ugh!"

"Grandma, what should we do next?"

"Light the incense..."

"interesting."

An Qing watched with gusto.

This group of people was obviously engaging in some kind of ritual.

Moreover, this ceremony is not a benevolent one. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a cult ceremony. It contains a coffin and pours blood and incense on the ground.

That blood is still human blood.

However, in Japan today, all kinds of sacrificial rituals are all horrible and bloody.

Even serious shrines sometimes perform cruel and inhumane rituals, and the sacrifices are made to living witches.

Yakumo Murasaki, Kaguya and the others also came over.

They had obviously never seen this ceremony.

So it aroused their curiosity.

In this strange and strange land where monsters are rampant.

Regardless of whether they are humans or monsters, they can always hide in a dark corner and create some strange things that they have never seen before.

After all, human thoughts and emotions can give rise to all kinds of weirdness.

The group then opened the coffin.

The AI ​​is almost dead and shoots automatically.

The CG that suddenly popped up almost caused An Qing to punch the computer screen right through.

Inside the coffin was a man whose limbs had been broken, and his mouth, nose, ears, and eyes had all been sewn shut.

And the man was alive, and he was struggling, albeit weakly.

"What I'm saying is, next time you shoot something bloody and terrifying like this, could you please remind me first?"

An Qing rubbed his eyebrows.

Damn it, I’m playing the game of raising a paper figurine wife, and you’re going to give me a scary CG, right?

This operation can be done directly in the butter, and the players are already wilted and still play with a hammer.

[AI: I’m extremely sorry. Dear Creator, I have strictly noted your comments. 】

"Ugh....."

Forget it, watch some CG to wash your eyes.

Anqing dug out the CG of Yakumo Purple experiencing intensity.

I just took this last night and it's still warm.

The ceremony continues.

The leader of the old woman and several people around her knelt down before the coffin and the man in the coffin.

He was mumbling unintelligible words. Judging from the way he muttered the words, it seemed that it was some kind of mysterious spell.

But An Qing asked AI to translate it.

The result of the translation is meaningless.

It’s really just nonsense.

Yakumo Purple and Yashi Eirin also heard it.

This spell has no power.

This group of people was undoubtedly deceived by the immortals they spoke of.

Of course, the ceremony did not fail.

Because when the things are placed, the ritual has already started, and then just watch.

However, Yakumo Murasaki and the others' interest has waned.

Although they have never seen this ritual before, they can understand what the ritual is about with just their eyesight and experience, and what will happen next will probably not be unexpected.

This group of people probably provoked the immortals they called them.

I saw a black mist invisible to ordinary people getting into the coffin.

The latter thing is very simple.

These people want to use this method to trap another soul in this body.

Then take this person with two souls to sacrifice.

It's just that what was summoned was a crazy evil ghost.

He controlled the body with severed arms and legs and killed the group of people on the spot.

Not satisfied with the killing, he ran out again, but was simply beaten to death by the monsters in the monster market.

I don’t know if the immortal specially asked this group of people to come here.

Fortunately, the monster created by the ritual was also eliminated.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... This immortal is quite cruel."

An Qing was speechless for a while.

These people who were killed by the evil spirits even had their souls twisted and eaten by the evil spirits.

Although I haven’t met an immortal yet.

However, An Qing felt that the person behind the scheme would probably not be a serious immortal.

The evil nature here is too great and too ruthless, and it doesn't matter whether the other party is an immortal or not.

An Qing thought of Huo Qing'e.

She is the evil fairy.

Immortals who are deviant, like to do bad things, and have relatively strong power are evil immortals.

At the same time, people who are not evil but have not cultivated the right path to become immortals are also called evil immortals.

Huo Qing'e is the former.

Couldn't it be Huo Qing'e?You really can't tell.

"Speaking of which, are sacrificial rituals like this really useful?"

An Qing thought of this eternal question.

In this era of the world, there are cruel and inhumane sacrifices everywhere, but they are not necessarily done because they are really useful, some are just because of ignorance.

Just like real ancient times.

"Quite a few of them will be useful. Those bloodthirsty monsters or gods will like such sacrifices."

Bayi Yonglin explained to Anqing.

"Really...this is not a pleasant thing..."

An Qing didn't like such sacrifices.

What about cutting off tongues, inserting eyes, amputating limbs, and just sewing up faces.

Not to mention that those shrines will directly use witches to perform these sacrifices.

"There are also quite a few sacrifices that are normal. After all, not all gods and monsters like this kind of thing."

“Has Eirin ever received such a sacrifice?”

"I don't know. I haven't paid attention to the beliefs of mortals for a long time, but... there should be some."

Bayi Yonglin paused, and she slowly looked towards the night sky full of stars.

"In fact, the sacrificial activities at the beginning were very normal. Human beings offered meat and fruits from hunting. Later, the gods left the earth and responded less and less to the prayers of mortals, so the sacrifices gradually changed. "

If there is no response, humans will think that the things offered have not satisfied the gods.

Human beings couldn't come up with anything more, so they began to think of solutions from other places, such as pain and suffering that could impress people.
