Shh, I'm behind you forty-six
Shh, I'm behind you forty-six
"I saw that the situation was serious and wanted to call the police. But then I remembered that this place couldn't be calculated according to normal logic.
I just wanted to go out, and I didn't know why I always felt like someone was pulling me. The problem was that it was very scary in here, and I wanted to get out quickly. When I was about to climb out, these people found me and tied me up. "
Zhou Yan became a little angry when he talked about this.
The hole was too small at the time, and he was trying hard to climb up, but he always felt like someone was pulling on his ankles. He stomped hard and got out without paying much attention.
He didn't see clearly at the time, and was captured in a daze, then ran out in a daze, and then met Gu Ci in a daze.
All in all, I'm very confused.
Zhou Yan was a tall man. He squatted there in frustration and looked a little funny. After he finished talking about himself, he looked at Gu Ci curiously, "What about you? I didn't see you either. Did you come in by yourself?"
Zhou Yan's eyes fell carefully on Gu Ci's wheelchair. Perhaps he realized that this behavior was wrong, so he quickly retracted his gaze, folded his hands, squatted more naturally, and considered his words.
"Um...where's An?"
Gu Ci noticed that his eyes were adjusted as his headscarf was accidentally tilted. Originally, she thought that with Zhou Yan's physique, even if she couldn't beat him, she could always run for a while.
But no one expected that he would be caught after falling into the cave of bones. More importantly, he had not yet discovered the bones.
"I don't know either. I was discovered as a player and was forced into a game. When I finished the game and came out, I was already in the cellar.
I had just walked out of the cellar when I saw you being chased. I just found a place to hide, but by the way, what were you doing at the time? "
Gu Ci deliberately omitted the part about An and the little butterfly. He finished his general story and waited for Zhou Yan's follow-up.
"Will you force me into the game? Once you enter the game, there's really no way of knowing. It's actually very strange that I was able to enter here.
I was wondering if I could find anything else, and then I saw the believers sneaking in the direction of the church.
I didn't think much about it at first. I thought that because the previous person got food, these people also wanted to pray in the middle of the night and then make a wish like others to get some food or quilts or something.
I just wanted to see what was going on here so I followed along to see it, but guess what happened? "
Zhou Yan couldn't help but tremble when he thought of what he had seen. He looked shocked and disgusted. Gu Ci asked him to continue talking about what he had just reluctantly recalled.
"It wasn't a prayer at all! It was just a big carnival party for these believers.
Did you know? There are not many nuns here. Not to mention that most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, but they are also so skinny that people might think of them as beggars and give them alms.
Even so, those people can still do this. They are really not human beings! They took these nuns under the pretext of prayer and humiliated them at will.
In order to make things more convenient for themselves, they even broke the nuns' hands and legs. I felt creepy every time I peeked in from the side. The sound when it broke was as loud as breaking corn stalks.
When the time comes, they will break the necks of the nuns who are still alive and place them under the cross.
I wasn't the only player there at the time, everyone was there except you.
At first I thought this was some special sacrificial activity that required human sacrifice. Until I saw that group of people moving the huge cross a little, I didn't know what they were doing. It seemed as if something was taken out from under the cross and then opened.
My perspective was completely blocked and I couldn't see anything. But what impressed me most was that there was a black thing like a human shadow flowing next to it, and I didn't know what it was. "
Zhou Yan recalled what happened not long ago. Although the scene was too horrifying and terrifying, and although no more information was recorded, Zhou Yan's attention was clearly on the black shadow.
The shadow seemed like a real living creature with consciousness. It could move and had vague eyes and a mouth. That place was so noisy at the time. But Zhou clearly heard its breathing.
He could never forget the heavy, gasping breathing sound like an old man in the middle of the night.
The most important thing is that the church is so dark, but that black shadow can spread into the darkness everywhere at any time, just like a puddle of water falling to the ground and then there is a vast ocean under the feet and disappears in an instant.
But the next second he can appear from behind you and catch you off guard.
Zhou Yan was particularly impressed by this.
As Zhou Yan was speaking, he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a large figure in a corner of the scene that he couldn't see. It looked like Mary, but he couldn't be sure.
Gu Ci touched the necklace around his neck.
The cold touch reminded her that Lei had said before that she also wanted to go to the church to get something, but the one An gave her was the key.
If what she said was true, then what did they take out in the church? What is opened? If it is true and can be opened, would there be two or even more keys to that thing?
Gu Ci touched his necklace thoughtfully. The boys around me kept talking about their experiences.
"Do you know how we escaped? Speaking of this, I realized that there are always higher mountains than other mountains, and perverts are only more perverted.
You know, those people were really careless in their work. The rope was so loose that I struggled for a while and it got loose. I originally wanted to run away immediately, but there were too many of them, so we waited for a while.
You know what's the most hateful thing about these people? There are even children in the church here! We didn't see any children before, right? That's because they treated the children and the nuns as food."
Zhou Yan was so angry that all his muscles tensed up and his face turned ugly. He clenched his fists to express his deep hatred for these people's actions.
"Those people originally wanted to choose one of us, but someone said that another child had died in the next room, so they decided not to touch us for the time being and deal with the dead ones first.
They don't even think about what bacteria or viruses they might get from eating these things, all of which will die here! But when you die, you don't need others to help you dig a hole.
Just pity those poor kids, you know? Right next to where we were being held, there were bones of those people. These people had no regard for sanitation at all. They were splattering their feces and urine everywhere, having so much fun playing with them like they were playing in the mud.Shh, I'm behind you forty-sevenShh, I'm behind you forty-sevenZhou Yan's words reminded Gu Ci of the children in that small house. Even though they were as thin as bean sprouts, they still had to protect children younger than themselves.
Hearing footsteps outside, Zhou Yan immediately fell silent and looked outside vigilantly.
Although their place is relatively hidden, they will be unable to escape once they are discovered, and they become very nervous when they hear any sound.
Zhou Yan looked at Gu Ci and made a zipper motion towards her mouth to ask Gu Ci not to make any sound. Although Gu Ci knew that it was the group of believers from the church who were chasing her, she was not sure why.
Zhou Yan's body blocked most of Gu Ci's sight. After the voice sounded, Zhou Yan quietly turned around and protected Gu Ci behind him. Gu Ci couldn't see Zhou Yan's expression but could feel that he was very nervous.
As the footsteps got closer, Gu Ci could only observe through the gaps in Zhou Yan's vision.
A burned foot suddenly appeared in Gu Ci's field of vision. Some parts of the foot were a moldy dark green color, and it was mottled with half-detached flesh. The scarlet flesh and the charred skin presented a sharp contrast.
The moment this thing appeared, Zhou Yan's muscles tensed instantly. Gu Ci was behind Zhou Yan and didn't know if those monsters had discovered him or what. Zhou Yan pounced out and held the intruder tightly.
But the monster was incredibly strong, and no matter how strong Zhou Yan was, he was almost knocked over by the monster.
He pressed his arm against the monster's neck, and with his other hand he applied force while holding down the arm that was scratching at him. Zhou Yan looked back and shouted at her, "Hurry up, there will be more things coming later!"
Gu Ci looked at Zhou Yan in surprise, and the wheelchair started to move slowly. The moment he walked out of the corner, Gu Ci pushed Bu Qing away and listened to Zhou Yan's words obediently and walked in another direction.
Zhou Yan was stunned when he saw Gu Ci's actions, but he didn't say anything even though the monster struggled hard. He just secretly exerted force to press the monster down. Seeing Gu Ci leave obediently, he relaxed, clenched his right hand, and punched the monster in the face.
In fact, this thing cannot be called a monster. It looks like a human, but it is burned and looks disgusting. In essence, it is just a human being, and he happens to have the power to deal with a human being.
Zhou Yan didn't know how many punches he had thrown. By the time the person under him stopped struggling, his head had already turned into mud, as dirty as the soil under his feet.
Zhou Yan looked at his hands covered with flesh and brain matter with disdain. He grabbed a handful of dirt and used it as water to wash his hands. Although they were still dirty, they were much better than before.
Zhou Yan couldn't help but feel a chill when he looked at the charcoal-like thing on the ground. He was afraid of seeing his own face in it after seeing it too many times.
"Mother Goddess~"
The little butterfly's voice came from the umbrella to Gu Ci's ears with curiosity, "Aren't you going to help him?"
Help him?
Gu Ci blinked, "He was the one who asked me to leave. I can't interfere if he doesn't have any needs. His power has increased after entering the retrospective. He can solve this problem. Why should I stay there as a spectator?"
The little butterfly turned into a mini butterfly the size of a thumb and stayed on the umbrella. The magnolia flowers on the umbrella looked lifelike. Some of them had already bloomed, while others were closed as if they were shy and did not dare to bloom.
Most people would not pay much attention to the little butterfly landing on it. Originally, the little butterfly wanted to push her wheelchair, but he had to stretch his hands over his head to hold the handle. He tried to push the wheelchair himself but couldn't, so he gave up.
"But, according to normal logic, you should be very moved and say you won't leave, and then help him defeat that person, instead of just walking away like this."
The little butterfly scratched its antennae, not quite understanding Gu Ci's behavior. All those people had done the same thing before him, and he didn't know why, but what the Mother Goddess did was right.
Gu Ci leaned over, propped his cheek with his hand, stared at the road ahead and smiled, "Victory?"
Gu Ci read these two words again, and inexplicably felt a sense of tenderness. She lazily withdrew her hand, leaned back on the wheelchair, and slowly bent her fingers and tapped the armrest.
"Victory is when you win against someone stronger than you. He has the ability, so why should I interfere with his performance? If we really meet someone stronger than ourselves and neither of us leaves, that would be abnormal. Living is the continuation of hope, isn't it?
What you think is normal logic is not normal at all. The best way is to be firm in your choices at critical moments instead of relying on emotions to control you. "
Little Butterfly didn't quite understand what Gu Ci said, but he knew that Gu Ci must have his own reasons for saying so. He nodded firmly and said, "Yes, what the Mother Goddess said is right."
When Gu Ci heard his words, he knew that he had not heard anything. He didn't know where he got the idea to treat his words as if they were an imperial decree, as if he was really his belief. He foolishly but firmly believed in himself.
Tsk, why do I suddenly feel a little refreshed?
She seemed to understand the feelings of the so-called master.
Gu Ci could see those people searching for players in the dark. Their eyes were like two cloudy glass beads, and some people's eyes had begun to shrivele.
There were large areas of burns on their bodies, with pus flowing from the wounds, revealing rotten wounds, and maggots dancing happily in the wounds, enjoying the rare opportunity to live there.
They seem to have their own thoughts. When they meet, they will communicate with each other before separating. They are conscious and can find their own food in the dark, so they can be considered intelligent zombies.
Gu Ci didn't know how long he had been searching. Time seemed extremely useless in this darkness. It seemed as if light would never rise here and it was always dark.
One of the players was found by them and enjoyed a delicious meal on the spot. After being nourished by the food, they slowly turned back to their original appearance, but the fierceness in their eyes was chilling.
They couldn't find the player so they surrounded the church from outside. The strong men banged on the door of the church with all their might. The door made a dull sound but there was no sign of being breached.
The people outside were turning around impatiently, and some were already eager to climb up the window to see if they could get in from there. Although this method had been used before, there were always people who refused to believe it and wanted to give it a try.
Gu Ci stood not far away and carefully observed the expressions on everyone's faces. She just looked at them so arrogantly, and these people seemed not to notice her and were still trying to break through the church and rush to the innermost partShh, I'm behind you forty-eight
Shh, I'm behind you forty-eight
The heavy door slammed loudly, and the people in the church were silent. Not even a ray of light came out from inside. The church was so quiet that people suspected that it was just an empty shell.
"These old guys, they think we can do nothing if they just keep shrinking their necks, right?"
The tallest man in the lead looked at the closed door and asked someone to bring out a few torches so that he could see more clearly. Seeing that the people in the church were indifferent to his words, he crossed his arms in annoyance.
The younger brother at the side was considerate enough to shout loudly into the church, "If you don't come out, you will all be burned to death in the church! We will leave after the people in the town repair the road."
As they were talking, they asked someone to listen against the corner to see if there was any movement inside, but unfortunately, there was no sound at all.
The firelight seemed depressing and gloomy in this sticky darkness. Gu Ci looked at the people waiting nearby, staring unconsciously at the church door with their mouths wide open and drooling, and the saliva dripped to the ground and gathered into a small puddle.
He really looks hungry.
Finally, a sobbing sound was heard from inside the church. There was an extremely hoarse voice inside, and she angrily rebuked the thugs outside.
"What a bunch of bullshit believers! They are all lies made up by you! You are willing to tell lies to get what you want. Who dares to believe you? Who dares to really believe you!"
The nun angrily slammed the door to express her dissatisfaction. Her voice was not loud, but everyone could hear her clearly.
"Isn't it enough that you took away all the food and clothes from the church? You also captured those helpless children. They are the hope of the church! How could you bear it? Don't you have any younger generations? Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?"
The nun was so sad when she spoke. She felt as if her heart was broken when she thought of those children who were snatched away from her. They were just one step away from entering the church together, but now only they, the nuns, were left here, struggling to survive and waiting for death.
But those children suffered. Although the conditions here were not very good, they cared for and helped each other like family members. She couldn't imagine what kind of suffering those children had gone through.
Perhaps these words awakened some of their rationality, and a rare hint of panic appeared on their faces. They looked at the leader as if for help, waiting for his statement.
The leader listened to the nun's words and looked at his palms in a daze. His palms looked clean to the naked eye, but he didn't know what to say. It seemed as if his hands were covered with blood, revealing his sins.
He looked at his hand and suddenly laughed. He picked up a dead branch from the ground and bit it into his mouth. He smiled disdainfully, "What's the use of that? Who will know what happened here when I leave? Everyone is busy with their own affairs. Who will care about you guys?"
Bo Liang's words came out of his thick lips, seeming so careless and ruthless. He walked forward and knocked on the thick door of the church, patiently advising
"You're all going to die in there anyway, so why don't you come out so we can spend some peaceful time together? If you're still so stubborn, I don't mind burning this place down."
The leader looks very honest from a facial feature, but when he lowers his eyes and looks at the ground, he appears particularly sinister. There is a devil's soul under his seemingly simple face. This kind of person is cunning and suspicious and is a very dangerous character.
He waited patiently for the person inside to respond. He listened to the suppressed crying with pleasure and laughed with satisfaction. Then a howl came out.
"My Lord, even if I am burned to death, I will never open the door and become a toy in your hands. A filthy soul like you is not worthy of being a believer of the Lord. The Lord will personally take your sins to hell, and countless punishments will be waiting for you to suffer supreme torment! You deserve to go to hell!"
The nun cried and cursed, but the people outside obviously didn't care. He took the branch out of his mouth and put it under his feet, grinding it disdainfully with a mocking smile.
"Your shitty master never protected me when I was alive, so why are you pretending to send me to hell after I die?"
He did not explain much, but asked the younger brother holding the torch to come closer, while he walked away with his hands in his pockets.
"I'll give you some time. If you don't come out by the deadline I give you, I'll burn this place down. It's just right for me to let each of you go to heaven. With so many people going up together to accompany him, I think your Lord will be very happy."
A younger brother thoughtfully brought him a stone. Because it was cold, they gathered all the wood they could find and waited to make a fire to keep warm. However, the place was too cold, and it was as uncomfortable as sleeping in wet water.
The leader looked up at the darkness in the sky and frowned slightly. He didn't know why he always felt that the night here was particularly long, and this thick night seemed to appear in his dreams over and over again.
As he thought about it, he looked around and saw the people around him with sallow faces and dull expressions. He turned his head away in disdain.
"Who?"
The leader looked uncertainly at the shadow of the church and stood up vigilantly. He didn't know if it was his illusion. He saw someone standing there, but he didn't see him when he passed by just now.
Maybe he was under too much pressure and thus had hallucinations. He thought this to comfort himself but was still cautious and asked someone to go and take a look.
"Oh, good morning, March. You're so impatient. How long has it been since we last met? One day? Two days? It always makes me feel hard to see each other after such a long time."
Someone approached with a torch, and the dancing light shone on Mary's face, making it appear a strange gray. She stood there looking at March with a smile on her face, her tiny eyes looking as if there were two leeches crawling on them.
"Sister Mary?"
The man holding the torch looked at Mary with some surprise. He looked back uncertainly at March who was approaching him and consciously made way for him.
March could only see her face and the general outline of her body in the dim firelight. He looked at Mary's balloon-like body with satisfaction and didn't care why Mary was outside the church instead of inside.
This was a pleasant surprise.
March smiled as he thought about this. He kindly invited Mary to come to his place to rest for a while, and he would invite Mary to witness the birth of a sumptuous meal.
However, Mary waved her hand to reject March's invitation. She ignored March's gloomy face and continued to look at him with a smile, her voice still high and exaggerated., I'm behind you forty-nine
Shh, I'm behind you forty-nine
"Oh~ Machi, you may not know that our Lord has appeared. He will bless us, bring us good luck, and lead us through this difficult time!"
Mary looked at March glaring at his response with a smug look on her face.
March didn't believe it. Coming to church to pray was like a task rather than his own will. Rather than the Lord she talked about, he was more inclined to believe that Mary had broken her head or was crazy.
He didn't intend to waste any more time talking to her. He turned around and asked someone to bring a rope to tie her up to prevent her from running away. Without her, they would not be able to witness the birth of delicious food, so Mary was a very important part.
Mary saw that March didn't believe it and naturally took out delicious milk and bread from behind her. The sweet smell of the steaming bread and the unique taste of the milk made everyone who saw and smelled it stare.
They looked so dazzling and delicious in the dark night that even in the short time she took out the food, she could hear the sound of people swallowing.
"Is this some kind of magical sorcery?"
March was also a little surprised when he saw Mary's trick. Being the closest, he could understand better how tempting the food in front of him was, but he also knew clearly that he had searched every place here and couldn't find any food.
If the nuns had taken out these foods at the beginning, or if they had found these foods at the beginning of the sin, perhaps nothing would have happened. There is no free lunch, but there are traps.
March didn't think that Mary would be kind enough to take out precious food to donate, and he didn't smell anything when he was talking just now. How come there was the smell of food as soon as she took it out?
And it was hot food, she hid behind her back without fear of being burned or spilled. It seemed wrong no matter how she looked at it or how she thought about it.
Mary laughed. "Witchcraft? This is much more advanced than witchcraft. March, I told you that this is a gift from the Lord. As devout believers, our Lord is always watching us. He witnessed our suffering and decided to help us..."
March picked his ears impatiently and glanced at the ground as if looking for something. Mary didn't care and just thought he had dropped something.
When talking about the Lord she believed in, Mary opened her eyes slightly, and looked at March with joy in her cloudy eyes. However, before she could finish her endless words, March stood up with a stone in his hand and hit her on the head.
Mary, who had just started preaching, touched her head in disbelief, staggered and leaned against the wall. She could feel her sunken head, but she still couldn't believe why March would attack her.
March didn't expect to defeat Mary in one go. When he met Mary's gaze, he impatiently threw away the stone in his hand, snatched the food from Mary's hand, and tested it carefully.
"It's enough for me to come here and listen to your nagging. It's enough to listen to it on Monday. Do you want to occupy the rest of my time and make me suffer like this? You are really vicious.
Listen Mary, I don't care where your food comes from, and I don't care what your purpose is, but I can be sure that you definitely have bad intentions. I didn't go to school much but I'm not stupid, how could good things fall from the sky? "
Machi tasted the milk. The warm milk was silky and fragrant when it entered his mouth. The taste was normal, but Machi only took a sip and handed it to the person next to him with a frown.
The same goes for the bread, which is normal and even has the sweetness of honey, but March doesn't think so. The normal things that appear at this time are the most abnormal.
The others carefully savored the moment and shed tears of happiness, but March looked at Mary impatiently, as if she was wondering how to tie the rope so that it would work properly.
Mary also reacted at this time. She stood up angrily, covering the back of her head with her hands, wetting a part of her clothes, but she didn't cry out in pain.
She looked at Machi viciously and said in a gloomy voice, "I will skin you alive and send you to the Lord, you hypocritical believer!"
As Mary spoke, the hem of her skirt suddenly moved. March looked at her loose skirt in confusion. It seemed like something was twisting inside. Then several tentacles flew out from under Mary's skirt and pounced straight towards March.
The thing that looked like an octopus tentacle scared Machi so much that the others screamed and ran away for fear of being caught. Only March's eyes lit up with excitement as he stared at Mary's tentacles.
Gu Ci probably knew why Machi became the leader here, in addition to his strong physique, it was also because of his strange way of thinking.
Others fainted or ran away when they saw the tentacles, but March was the only one who stared at the flying tentacles eagerly, wishing he could catch a few with one hand. When he finally subdued Mary after spending a long time and tied up all the tentacles together, Mary realized something was wrong.
It took March a long time to subdue her, and he even had many wounds on his face and body. The continuous bleeding of those wounds made March look like a horrible monster, but soon those wounds were covered by black, gray and bloody scars and stopped bleeding.
After tying the last knot, March smiled relaxedly. Mary watched as March smiled kindly at her and then bit her tentacle right under her gaze. The pain made her scream out, but as soon as she opened her mouth, March quickly stuffed her hand into her mouth.
The main focus is on waste utilization.
"Be quiet!"
March looked at her warningly, his slightly red eyes full of warnings to Mary. He was holding a large tentacle and chewing it with relish, and black sticky liquid was flowing from the corners of his mouth, looking extremely scary.
Gu Ci smiled and watched the farce seriously. Mary didn't look like the kind of person who would just accept things as they come. She was very curious about what Mary would do next.
Mary twisted her body in humiliation and took her hands out. She didn't expect these despicable people to be so mean!
She tried to retract her tentacles, but the addicted Machi stepped on her stomach and warned her not to play tricks.
Mary looked at the place where she had just stood and said angrily, "Ann, is this how you believe in the Lord? The Lord will not forgive you if he finds out!"
install?
Gu Ci followed Mary's gaze. If Mary hadn't reminded him, Gu Ci might not have noticed whether there was another person there.
The bloody nun's uniform slowly emerged from the corner. From the way this person walked, her leg must have been injured, so she moved in and out. Gu Ci recalled the time he spent with An and did not notice anything wrong with An's legs, but Gu Ci could not deny that this was not An.
After all, that face was the familiar face of An.
Shh, I'm fifty behind you
Shh, I'm fifty behind you
An looked even more childish, and the wound on his face looked like it had just been stitched up, with bright red blood stains on the white flesh.
She looked expressionlessly at Mary who was tied up like a big dumpling and couldn't help but sneer. This action pulled Ann's wound, and Ann couldn't help but cover her face and hissed in pain.
Machi looked at the uninvited guest with some confusion. He had seen her face before, but not this horrible one. It wouldn't matter if he had one more.
Thinking this, March immediately stood up and wanted to hold Ann down, but before he could get close to Ann, she kicked him to the ground. March had used too much energy when he was struggling with Mary, so he looked a little tired at the moment.
Ann looked at Mary and snorted coldly. The thick black fog quickly enveloped March, leaving only a head outside looking at Ann in horror. "What the hell is this?"
Ann slowly moved her body towards the darkness without answering him. Mary broke free from the ropes made of cloth strips and slapped him hard.
"You despicable believer, you will not receive any salvation from the Lord! The Lord will like you, Machi, good morning~"
Mary squatted down and looked at March seriously. Her fat body was more like a huge ball wriggling there. She smiled and said good morning to him. In the infinite darkness, her smile seemed so strange, and that inexplicable good morning.
Gu Ci was also thinking about what this good morning meant, and soon he understood. Mary stood up, and the black mist that turned into a rope dragged him towards Ann as if it had consciousness, but no one knew where it was going to drag him to.
After March disappeared around the dark corner, a bell rang in the church, and then the surrounding black fog quickly receded, and the sky slowly turned white and then revealed a hint of light.
As a ray of light revealed itself from under the thick clouds, Gu Ci could clearly see that the appearance of the person closest to him, hiding in a patch of debris, was slowly changing.
In the darkness, both her clothes and her face were extremely dirty. But as time passed, his appearance slowly became a little cleaner and tidier, and even the part of the cuff that was burned by the flames was restored to its original state as if by magic.
Not only did the people change, but even the objects that were kicked over and disrupted in the church seemed to have their own consciousness and returned to where they were supposed to be.
The originally closed church door slowly opened, and the nuns inside walked out with sad smiles. They smiled at Ann and wiped their tears. "Oh, Mary, you are back. What did you gain?"
Mary had already retracted all her tentacles under her skirt when she said good morning. The skirt was stretched so round and wide that it was impossible to tell what was hidden under it.
Mary held the hand of the first nun who came out with a look of loss and shook her head regretfully.
"I looked carefully and found that we couldn't get out, and there was nothing around for us to eat. But I did find a deserted place with a lot of dead grass and branches, which might allow us to spend a cold night comfortably."
Mary's words made the nuns feel better. The nun whose hand Mary held sighed.
"All the believers are trapped here, and the church doesn't have enough food. We don't know when food will be delivered. Mary, I can't imagine what we will use to save ourselves when we run out of food."
What this nun said was also what the other nuns wanted to say. But they couldn't think of a better way, so they could only go to the church together to pray to their Lord.
Gu Ci felt even more strange watching from the side.
Is it spatial overlap?
Although it seems like it is constantly going back and resetting at different times. But the things in this copy probably don't have the ability to run such a huge amount of data.
Gu Ci pushed the wheelchair and followed them into the church. The church looks cleaner and brighter, but the cross is still so solemn and eerie.
Fresh blood flowed down from the top of the cross, and at the base of the cross where it fell to the ground there were many solidified bloodstains that emitted a disgusting smell. But these nuns seemed to be blind and knelt on the ground, their hands clenched and looking at the empty cross with pleading expressions.
"Lord, have mercy on your followers. Give them manna and food."
Gu Ci looked around for the direction An had just gone and followed. But what surprised Gu Ci was that she walked in that direction towards the back of the church and didn't notice anything unusual, even though she had already come to see it last night.
Gu Ci didn't believe that anything could disappear out of thin air. Take the previous peeping Tom card for example. There is definitely a very hidden secret room inside this one, but it has not been discovered by anyone.
Gu Ci removed her invisibility spell and while there was light, she searched for clues in the surrounding corners. She saw the remaining players gathered together, talking about something.
Gu Ci rolled over slowly.
Zhou Yan, Wang Qi and another unknown player.
"Nun's Farewell"
Wang Qi forced a smile and greeted her, then sat on the ground in silence. The other two people looked at Gu Ci coming over and nodded at her silently. No words.
"Okay, now all the players are here. Let's discuss how to complete the dungeon. Time is running out. If we delay any further, we may not be able to complete the dungeon."
The player that Gu Ci had never seen before looked around, counted the number of people, and then spoke first.
Aren't there six people?
Gu Ci thought about it and suddenly remembered that in addition to the player who was caught last night, there was also a nun player who seemed to have died in the nightmare of pursuit.
But doesn't that game say that only the first person whose identity is discovered can enter the game? Why would the player be dragged into the game after he died in it?
Gu Ci thought about it and asked Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan also shook his head strangely and expressed his thoughts.
"It could be some props. Players get props in the game. Some props are obtained by drawing lots or purchasing with points after players exit the game. They are different. Maybe he just happened to have some props that pulled him out of the dungeon."
Gu Ci nodded in understanding and heard the believer player whom she had not identified before speak. The voice was very familiar. It was one of the voices he heard when he took Wang Qi's ID card before.
, I'm behind you fifty-one
Shh, I'm behind you fifty-one
"Please save some time. Don't you think time is passing too quickly?"
That person has a very ordinary face. The numb expression he had sitting there was no different from those believers in the small town. If he hadn't revealed his identity, it might have taken Gu Ci some time to find him.
It would be difficult to detect if he wanted to hide his identity.
Gu Ci looked up at the foggy sky. The sunlight was shining directly here, but he could feel that the speed was much faster when it was "dawn".
The player didn't waste any time and directly started the conversation. "I have a tool that can help me not be confused by external objects and can record the correct flow of time. This game requires us to go out within a week, but today is already the fifth day. And the dawn now is actually dusk."
The player's words woke the other people up from their dreams. No wonder I always felt that the night just now was much longer than the polar night. It turned out that I was just confused by the external scene.
"I don't know what you guys think yet, but there are only two days left. This game doesn't limit the number of people who can pass it, so we can work together to complete it. To show my sincerity, I'll tell you the clues I found."
The player scanned everyone's face with his sharp eyes and took out his ID card.
"I wonder if you have found such a clue? At the end of the game, we will have an escape. The specific rules are unknown for now, but what I know is that if I get the identity cards of all the players present, I can become a gravity prop. Under the protection of the prop, the monsters in the dungeon will regard me as nothing, but now..."
He turned his ID card over and showed it to everyone. The identity card that was supposed to have words and patterns on it has now become a piece of waste paper and is no longer of any use.
Seeing this, everyone else took out their ID cards, and without exception, they all turned into a piece of white paper.
"You have been seen. Only by collecting all the players' ID cards can we get the item. However, one player disappeared at the beginning. I have not found his ID card. It should be that we did not get it in time. The player died in the dungeon or left for some special reason, so the ID card is invalid. This item is destined to be unable to be synthesized."
The player smiled helplessly. The player who was captured was a friend of his who had known several dungeons. It was fate that he entered this dungeon by chance at this moment. He just didn't expect that he would be found by monsters last night.
Gu Ci raised her eyes and nodded seriously. Her movement attracted everyone's attention to her.
After all, her identity is actually the most special one in this copy. Not only did An look at her differently, but the other nuns also had a special enthusiasm for Gu Ci.
No matter how you look at it, Gu Ci actually has the most clues.
"An has a problem"
Gu Ci met the player's gaze, smiled at him and said this very naturally. In fact, I don't know how to be grateful. After today's flashback, some people's personalities seem to have changed a lot. Who can guarantee that what they enter is a real flashback and not someone's fantasy?
"Oh"
The player smiled disdainfully. He looked straight at Gu Ci's face with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
"Of course I know she has problems. Not just her, can't you see that everyone here has problems? Now I suspect you have problems too. You've been holding it in for so long and only said this. Maybe you're the traitor here."
The player looked at Gu Ci and felt more and more that what he said made sense. He always felt that her behavior and expression were weird and conspiratorial.
"Calm down~"
Before Gu Ci could finish the rest of his words, he made malicious speculations. However, Gu Ci was not angry and just pressed her hand lightly to tell her not to be too anxious.
Judging from the extent of communication between the three of them, the contents of her ID card must have already been known to others. However, I still don't know the contents of the identity cards of the player in front of me, the player who died last night, and the nun player, so it's not easy to draw conclusions.
Seeing that the situation was becoming tense, Zhou Yan hurriedly stood in front of Gu Ci and tried to comfort the player. With the help of two other people, the player calmed down. He knew that he was too anxious so he simply kept silent.
Zhou Yan roughly told everyone what he knew so that everyone could neutralize the information.
No one has ever seen the nun player's identity card, so we don't know what information is recorded in it.
According to Zhou Yan's description, the dead believer's player ID card showed two identical nuns praying back to back, with a necklace with a cross hanging from their clenched hands. A tear-like mark passed through their backs, forming a torn picture, with the words "Indifferent" written on it.
The text on the other side of the card roughly tells that "she" deeply loves her only relative, and she tries her best to make him happy, but lies and suspicion become the biggest poison, and "she" finally lies in the cold soil and becomes part of the church.
The identity card of the player sitting in front of him is more obvious, with a watch in the middle of the complicated card. There was nothing else to be seen except a pattern surrounded by half dark clouds and half flames, and the prophet was written on it.
On the other side of the identity card it says: There are always some people who can keenly sense that something is wrong. They use tools to find a reliable shelter for themselves. During their constant exploration, they find that if they collect all the cards, then in this game, there may be a safe place for them to hide.
And under that paragraph there is one last paragraph of small words: Everyone's ID card is needed to synthesize the hidden props to avoid "it"'s attention
It is self-evident who "it" is.
No wonder they were murmuring about this before.
Gu Ci listened to Zhou Yan's words and told them about how he came out of the cellar and fell into the bone cave last night, and how he explored the church and saw Mary and Ann today.
"I knew they were so strong when they tied me up, how come I broke free so easily later?" Zhou Yan suddenly remembered that when he broke free from the rope, he thought it was because these people were not careful enough, but he didn't expect that it was Gu Ci who was operating behind the scenes.
However, although the skill of drawing talismans to control villains is rare, it does exist. Generally speaking, people who study Taoism will choose this very traditional way to fight. This is their talent and their skill.
I think Gu Ci would be more confident in dealing with supernatural copies.Shh, I'm behind you fifty-two
Shh, I'm behind you fifty-two
Zhou Yan and Wang Qi also roughly talked about their experiences. However, their experiences are very common and the clues found can basically coincide with their corresponding ones.
Just as An said, when the flashback was turned on last night, they were all trapped in a pure black space and could not get out no matter what, and could only come out at a specific time.
So the question is, who was the player who helped this group of people last night?
Gu Ci lowered her eyes and played with the buttons on her coat. Just like her dishonesty, these people might not necessarily be that honest, at least that was what it seemed at the moment.
When this question was mentioned, everyone was silent for a moment.
"It's me."
Zhou Yan was silent for a while. Seeing the time passing quickly, he stood up quickly, not daring to look directly into other people's eyes. "I helped them, but they told me that as long as I helped them, they would not embarrass me."
Zhou Yan smiled bitterly. "I am barely a novice player. I haven't even played a few games yet. I have very few items and my points can't buy anything. It's very likely that I won't be able to get out of the game this time. I can't refuse this offer."
Zhou Yan lowered his head. Although he felt a little embarrassed for doing this to others, he did not feel guilty. People cannot care about so many things in life.
Gu Ci nodded and agreed with him.
A believer passed by and looked at the people gathered together in confusion, not knowing what they were doing. After thinking for a while, he raised his hand and greeted them.
Gu Ci nodded in response and his eyes fell on the back of the believer who had just passed by.
"It will be about an hour and forty minutes until the next dark. Whether we find clues or not, we must find a place to hide before then."
The believer player looked at his props and instructed everyone seriously, and regardless of whether they heard him or not, they went to look for clues.
Others were no exception. Although Gu Ci's situation was rather special, in this game of life and death, no one would care too much about her.
"Mother Goddess, do you have any plans?"
The little butterfly fluttered its wings twice and uneasily changed direction on the umbrella. "The smell here is too bad."
Gu Ci waited for them to disperse before walking towards the church.
"Is there a rule here that says it's safe at daybreak? Is it possible that when we were looking before, it was daybreak in a different sense, so we couldn't find anything. But the daybreak at this moment is the real darkness."
Gu Ci walked into the church very naturally. At this moment, these people were very normal. The sound of the wheelchair when Gu Ci entered attracted everyone's attention. They opened their eyes and looked at her and greeted her, "Sister Ci, nice to meet you."
Gu Ci nodded at them and looked straight at Mary who was standing in the shadow of the cross. Mary's face didn't look very good. She seemed to not want Gu Ci to come here, and the ugly expression on her face was obvious.
"Sister Mary, where are Wu and Lian?"
Gu Ci watched Mary with gentle eyes as she looked at her curiously. Her body trembled and then she looked at her in disbelief, as if she didn't understand why Gu Ci knew that these two people existed here.
"They should be in their rooms. They are too active. Too much exercise will only consume their energy. But now is an extraordinary period, so these children are sensible and stay in their rooms."
The nun next to her answered her with a smile, and Gu Ci nodded in agreement.
"Yes, Lian has recently learned a few words and is enthusiastically becoming a teacher. If we wait a few more years, perhaps we will have an excellent teacher here."
Gu Ci noticed that Mary's expression became puzzled. She looked at Gu Ci without any hesitation, as if she was wondering why Gu Ci knew so much.
Was it pretended or did the Lord help Ann to do it?
After Gu Ci talked to a few nuns for a few words, he looked at Mary and gently asked her, "Sister Mary, can you please take me to see her?"
Mary walked a few steps closer to observe her, but she was still unsure of what she was thinking. She stretched out her hand and pinched Gu Ci's arm and wrist before she relaxed a little. She looked at Gu Ci with shock and surprise. "Ci, you're really back! This is really good news."
Gu Ci listened to Mary's words without moving. She just repeated his words with some doubt, "Come back? I've been in the church the whole time!"
Hearing this, Mary's face showed a hint of genuine shock, and the doubts in her heart disappeared instantly.
She thought that the deal between the Lord and An was just verbal talk, but she didn't expect that the Lord could really call back the dead. It was really incredible.
You have to know that before Ci, he was the best sacrifice the Lord had ever seen. If it hadn't been for a small change that allowed An to take his place, if it had been Ci, perhaps the Lord would have led them to a better life long ago.
Mary asked others to continue praying while she took Gu Ci out. Mary was even kind enough to stand behind Gu Ci and help push his wheelchair.
"Oh, Sister Ci, your wheelchair looks like it has been used for a long time. There are many places on it that are rusted. What a pity. This thing is a carefully crafted masterpiece."
Mary was behind him and Gu Ci couldn't see her expression, but he knew how she was looking at him with a pair of scrutinizing eyes.
The reason why Gu Ci dared to do this, besides extracting a lot of leisurely words from An, was most importantly because of her own guesses.
Whether Sister Mary believed in herself or not, everything would be clear once she brought him to Ann.
Judging from Ann's relationship with Mary, Ann and Mary are almost sworn enemies. I think Sister Ci may not have the same emotions as Ann, but it's almost the same.
Gu Ci ignored Mary's chattering. Instead, Mary stopped talking when she had talked enough to herself on the road. She walked around the entire church and stopped at the small church again.
"Sister Ci, do you believe in God?" Mary looked at Gu Ci with a familiar smile and an expression of inexplicable horror. Gu Ci looked at Mary without saying anything, but the smile on his face had long disappeared.
"Where's Ann?"
Gu Ci acted out the scene she had imagined skillfully, even incorporating facial expressions and body movements into the mix, so naturally it seemed as if she really was Sister Ci.
Mary smiled. She stood under Gu Ci's skirt and stretched out her tentacles to destroy the two wheelchairs behind Gu Ci. Then she ignored Gu Ci and walked out.
Gu Ci's wheelchair is different from ordinary wheelchairs. Although it looks like there are only two tires on both sides, hers has two wheels in the front and back to make it more stable. The two wheels on the outside are more like flashy decorations that are piled up and fall off with a slight touch from Mary.
Gu Ci staggered and tended to fall.
After Mary left, the whole church began to shake violently, as if something had awakened.
Shh, I'm behind you fifty-three
Shh, I'm behind you fifty-three
Gu Ci tried his best to keep his body steady and not fall sideways.
Fortunately, the front two wheels of the wheelchair were still usable. Gu Ci tried to follow him out, but unexpectedly, a magical force held her wheelchair tightly and prevented her from going out.
She was like a piece of food thrown here casually, waiting to be fed.
Seeing that he couldn't go out, Gu Ci pushed his wheelchair to the triangular area of the load-bearing wall to avoid being overturned by excessive vibration.
Gu Ci leaned one hand against the wall to steady herself. She calmly watched the church shaking continuously. The church seemed to be experiencing some kind of natural disaster. Small pieces of things kept falling from it. The dust accumulated over the years fell like snowflakes, blurring Gu Ci's vision.
The strong vibration also broke apart in different places, forming cracks of varying sizes, but a lot of unknown black liquid flowed out from under the cracks.
These liquids were like a ball of sticky glue that slowly flowed out from the holes and covered the floor, but the strange thing was that if you observed these sticky black liquids with the naked eye, you would find that they were like a pool of ink, and if you touched them lightly with something, ripples would appear like the surface of water.
However, if it is not withdrawn in time, this black sticky substance will suck it tightly and make it unable to move.
Gu Ci watched as these black things slowly covered the cellar below and gradually eroded the surrounding walls. They flowed from bottom to top, gradually upstream until they enveloped the entire church.
The surroundings turned into a black space wrapped by black matter. The dripping sound slowly appeared around me again, along with the faint sound of the wind and the heavier breathing, which became its exclusive background music.
Gu Ci moved, but the wheelchair was entangled so tightly by these things that he couldn't move at all. Gu Ci looked down and saw that many tentacles extended from the black sticky substance, wrapping the lower half of her wheelchair like a twist. No wonder the wheelchair looked like it had grown out of the ground.
As the last corner was swallowed by the black matter, the last ray of light in Gu Ci's vision was deprived. Apart from those subtle sounds, the entire space was filled with the deliberately created atmosphere of fear of darkness and unknown things.
Gu Ci turned his wrist slightly, and a yellow talisman slowly burned on his hand. She let go of her tissue, as if being pulled by something magical, and slowly rose into the air not far from her.
Normally, a piece of paper would only last a few seconds no matter how long it burned, but this talisman seemed to last forever and there wasn't even any ash left after burning.
With the help of the firelight, Gu Ci could clearly see the black substance around him that seemed to have a pulse and was constantly being pulled into the air and retracted.
And the black mass right in front of Gu Ci sank slightly, and then slowly turned into a vortex. Slowly emerging from the vortex was the huge cross inside the church.
However, it was different from the cross built before. The cross that emerged from the vortex was constantly oozing with blood, and tied in the middle was a person whose face was so bloody that it was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
Some black mucus was twitching on his body, like some kind of blood-sucking worm that parasitizes the human body.
The man tied to the cross had no skin, and the scarlet skin texture exposed to the air was like a warning, warning those who saw it not to act rashly.
It was tied to a tall cross with its head bowed and tortured. In a sense, the people in this church may be imitating the suffering of a celebrity, except that their methods are more extreme.
After the cross appeared, the surrounding liquid stopped flowing as if it had entered a dormant period, and the surrounding sounds gradually disappeared and became quiet.
The dead black matter on the first layer of the wheel slowly retracted its tentacles and sank into the black mucus. Although the wheelchair no longer had the two tires at the back, Gu Ci had previously drawn two talisman figurines that would allow it to be lifted slightly and rotated using the two front wheels.
But such a simple movement would cause her body to lean forward. This was an insecure posture, and Gu Ci had to hold on to his wheelchair tightly to avoid falling forward.
Gu Ci came to the bottom of the cross and observed it carefully to confirm that this cross was the one in the church. All the details she had observed before matched the two.
The only difference is that the cross that appeared in the public eye before seemed to have been cleaned. Although nothing can be seen on the surface, the blood has seeped into the wood texture.
The most obvious one in front of me is this person, but I don't know who this person is.
When Gu Ci got closer, he realized that the cross was huge. Its thickness and width were similar to a close-fitting coffin. If it was hollowed out, it might be able to fit a person.
Thinking this, Gu Ci reached out and knocked on the cross, but no hollow sound came out.
It should be a problem with the space. This space blocks the sound. Whether it was the sound of her wheelchair rolling or the sound of her reaching out to knock on the wood, they were all muted and could not be heard at all.
If you close your eyes, you will notice this more clearly. It is too quiet around you.
Gu Ci looked at the cross in front of her thoughtfully. The pair of bloody feet were still hanging in front of her. She could clearly see the shriveled blood vessels and slowly dehydrated muscles. The coagulated blood wrapped around the feet had begun to turn black and emitted an unpleasant smell.
Gu Ci looked up thoughtfully, only to see a pair of wide-open eyes on the lowered head looking at her unwillingly. The resentful eyes seemed to be telling Gu Ci something.
Gu Ci didn't think so much, because just a moment ago, the sound of wind slowly sounded, and the sound of water dripping became clearer from far to near. The faint breathing sounds surrounding Gu Ci's ears made me want to dig my ears.
"Oh~"
"Sacrifice!"
"Delicious~ tasty~"
A hoarse voice echoed above Gu Ci. When Gu Ci looked up, he saw that the originally stiff corpse suddenly moved its neck.
After his eyeballs rolled in his sockets, his gaze was straight at Gu Ci. His red and white muscular face slowly revealed a creepy smile to Gu Ci.
It's impossible to tell whether its voice is male or female. It's like a child who is just learning to speak. It pauses after saying a few words and thinks about what to say next before speaking.
Gu Ci ignored it, took a few steps back, then raised his head and felt his neck was not so sore. But Gu Ci could clearly see that there was a head next to the corpse's neck, staring at her with an evil face.
"Hello, delicious little snack."
, I'm behind you fifty-four
Shh, I'm behind you fifty-four
The head was formed out of thin air.
At first it was just a ball of light black smoke, but it condensed and formed into an adult male's head at an extremely fast speed. The head looked like Machi.
This head looked like a fungus growing out of the cross behind. It leaned against the neck of the corpse in front of it and gave Gu Ci a provocative smile.
"You are Sister Ci? When I heard my loyal but stupid servant say you were Sister Ci, I still didn't believe it. I even suspected that I had made a mistake these days. But when I really met you face to face, I discovered your clumsy tricks."
The neck of the head snaked in the air towards Gu Ci like a rubber that could be infinitely extended, and the head changed into many different appearances in just a short moment: Machi's, Sister Lei's, Wu's, and those of many believers and nuns in the church.
Finally, it chose An's face and came to Gu Ci's ear and said word by word, "You... are not Sister Ci!"
"This shouldn't be important."
Gu Ci smiled and grabbed its extended neck. It was not surprised that Gu Ci would take action, but they all forgot that they were invisible. As long as they wanted, they could turn into a cloud of smoke or a pool of water. These people could not catch them.
Thinking of this head, he also mocked Gu Ci. But he soon found that no matter what he did, he couldn't dissipate back immediately. It was like a physical entity in Gu Ci's hands and he couldn't escape at all.
The head panicked for a moment, twisting its neck and head while opening its mouth wide to try to bite Gu Ci to make her let go, but Gu Ci's clever grip didn't give it the chance to hurt itself.
This thing is just like a snake, and no matter how you struggle it is useless. The only difference from a snake is that this thing's head is much bigger than a snake's.
Moreover, Gu Ci always felt like a perverted murderer when he was holding his head. The key point is that this head can talk. If people who have never played the game see it, they will probably think they are a psychopath or have some kind of delusional disorder.
It just so happened that she felt that she was out of tune with this world because she was not perverted enough, and after coming here she felt that she could try to join in.
Seeing that he couldn't open his head no matter how hard he struggled, he simply gave up struggling and asked Gu Ci, "What on earth do you want to do?"
Gu Ci held its neck tightly and asked him with a smile, "I also want to ask what you guys want to do. My request is very simple, just clear the game and leave it."
Gu Ci said it simply but the head only smiled with pity. "It's easy to get out. It just depends on whether you are smart enough."
The head quickly changed to look like Mary, and its tiny eyes showed its malice. It used Mary's voice and intonation to imitate her.
"Oh my God, you can't leave the church without believing in God. May God bless you!"
Then the head turned into a nun's company and made faces at Gu Ciluan. It raised its eyes and laughed wantonly with the most innocent face and voice, "You can all go out, but none of you can go out!"
The two contradictory sentences and the gradually splitting face of the head happened almost at the same time. While the head was saying these two sentences, the organs on its face kept changing. It can be clearly seen that the face is Wu's, but the eyes are Mary's, and the voice is Ann's.
They kept laughing and repeating the last sentence like a group of people quarreling, until finally the various organs of the head shattered and separated into a pool of black substance that flowed out of Gu Ci's hands and dripped to the bottom and successfully merged into it.
Although the head in Gu Ci's hand shattered like schizophrenia, a new head gathered again on the cross and sniffed at him intoxicatedly.
"Little Snack, you are a delicious sacrifice, you know that? Your companions sacrificed you to me!"
"Don't you ask for the consent of the person involved in this matter?"
Gu Ci didn't care about what it said. She hooked her finger, and the talisman that was silently lighting up in the air split into two, then two into four, and instantly split into many pieces to form a net that surrounded the cross without leaving any gaps.
These burning talismans instantly illuminated the dark space, and the originally active black mucus around it also became suppressed by the firelight.
Gu Ci tilted his head and looked at the head, blinking innocently like him.
"My decision should be made by me, not by others. How can others' opinions count? I originally wanted to proceed step by step. I don't need these few days, but it seems unreasonable for you to appear in front of me and not do anything."
Gu Ci thought about it and smiled at it, "Are you right, Lord?"
Seeing that Gu Ci knew its identity, it did not hide it. It looked at the burning talismans around it with disdain. It could feel the incredible heat burning it, but it was of no use to it.
In this game, can the game continue without the final boss? Without him, the game would limit them and prevent them from completing the game.
The black mucus faded away from the surroundings and quickly climbed together to form the shape of a "person". The Lord slowly walked from under the cross.
The body on the cross had already fallen to one side with its head drooping because it was no longer under its control. The head disappeared and turned into smoke that enveloped the "person".
With the infusion of the soul, the Lord's body, which was only a frame, began to build up its internal organs, skin and flesh within the frame at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When the strange man appeared, Gu Ci knew that this was its original appearance, or the appearance it hoped to become.
The man in front of me was probably in his thirties. He was tall, with fair skin and deep eyes, which made people look at him curiously about his background. He was wearing a priest's clothes and holding a book with unknown contents in his hand.
He looked very elegant and easy-going, like a gentle priest. On him, Gu Ci saw the cross necklace that belonged to Sister Ci and she had found for An before.
The net woven by the yellow talisman moved as it moved, and never let him out of its encirclement.
"You should be amazed and admire the sight of me returning to the human world. Also, keep these magical things that glow and heat away from me. It would be bad if they burn a hole in my new clothes. Magical magician from the East."
The master admired his body and nodded with satisfaction. He waved his hands but failed to get rid of the talisman. He looked at Gu Ci with incomparable pride in his eyes. After all, this was his hard work and effort.
He will succeed in the end!
Shh, I'm behind you fifty-five
Shh, I'm behind you fifty-five
He was standing and Gu Ci could only look up at him, although from the front his face looked no different from that of a normal person. But if you tilt your head slightly, you can see the unstuck flesh beneath his perfect skin.
If someone turned their head slightly, they could see that the back of his head was shriveled, as if the back half was not supported by the skull.
He met Gu Ci's gaze, smiled, raised his hand and pointed at the cross behind him. The cross slowly fell from the ground, flew into the air, and then lay flat and hovered in the air.
The corpse on the cross also moved its head weakly according to the position of the cross's center of gravity, but the only difference was that the eyes were still staring at her, as if Gu Ci was the murderer.
The cross slowly fell and hit the ground with a loud noise, and the black slime that had been waiting below and constantly stretching itself rushed up the moment the cross fell.
The body was wrapped as if covered with a thick layer of asphalt, and within a few seconds, only slightly reddish bones remained on the cross.
He reached out and touched the yellow talisman floating in the air. The bean-sized flame didn't seem to have much power, but one of his fingers was burned and turned into ashes.
He retracted his fingers painfully in an attempt to restore them. But he found that no matter what he did, the finger could not be restored.
The so-called Lord became extremely angry in an instant. His facial features immediately became distorted, and his skin seemed to be stretched and torn because there was too much stuff stuffed inside.
He looked at Gu Ci viciously, and then, as if he remembered something, he tried hard to control his expression and make it look gentle and credible.
"Oh~ dear guest, no matter what your reason is for coming to our church, I think it will give you an unforgettable experience. Of course, if you are willing to stay, I can fulfill any of your wishes."
He wanted to get closer to Gu Ci with what he thought was a gentle smile, but the pile of yellow talismans did not move at all. He was afraid of being burned again and did not dare to move forward. He could only look at Gu Ci across the yellow talismans.
Gu Ci approached him and placed her hand on the wall surrounded by yellow talismans. Bright flames danced under her hands but did not burn her palms as the master had expected.
Through the warm flames, the Lord could clearly see all the expressions on the face of the person in front of him. She was different from other believers. Other believers would have some thoughts of their own deep in their hearts.
For example, one may desire wealth, power or beauty, but the person in front of him is different. There is nothing in her eyes, or maybe there is, but she can't tell what it is. She has never absorbed this emotion.
"Stay?"
Gu Ci looked at the Lord steadily and asked him innocently, "Am I tied to the cross like Machi, and let your believers use me as a sacrifice for you to enjoy? Or am I like An who was tortured but was willing to place my hope on you to find spiritual comfort?"
Gu Ci's words were bold, but the Lord was not overly surprised by it. There were people who could guess this situation, but they were very few.
But it is really rare for someone who can get the identity of Sister Ci to guess this, because Sister Ci is too special to him, and he destroyed too many things about Sister Ci. The player who got the identity of Sister Ci before was not smart enough and did not react in time and was discovered by the people in the church.
Players who obtained this identity basically died miserably, or it could be said that the person in front of her had certain similarities with her, which led to An, who had always valued Sister Ci, becoming so conflicted.
It was also his fault that he had given her a vague promise that he would find Sister Ci, but he was not sure if it was Sister Ci, otherwise An would not have hesitated for so long.
Some of these people rely on luck, some rely on strength, and maybe some have both. These people can generally leave here. The master suddenly felt a little bored.
He felt sorry knowing that the food was destined to leave.
I should not have trusted Mary if I had known this earlier. I wasted my time and energy. After all, his power would be wasted if it was not used to the last resort.
The Lord hummed twice and reluctantly agreed with what she said
"Maybe, maybe, possibly, who knows?"
But there are still some doubts that have not been sorted out!
Gu Ci did not intend to miss the opportunity to get along with the Lord. He was an extremely important part of this copy. He was in every corner and he would definitely know where the thing on the altar with patterns was.
The wheelchair covered with flowers and the bones may be able to verify whether her answer is correct or not.
But when Gu Ci asked this question, his face became a little confused. He repeated his description and then shook his head in confusion.
"I don't know what you mean. But I guess you must have mistaken my cross for what you wanted.
There will be no flowers in the church, nor will the place you mentioned exist. This is my world. I can feel everyone's movements. As long as I want, I can find you and your companions in just a moment. "
The master gave Gu Ci a disdainful thumb, his arrogant face full of self-confidence.
It seemed that she knew the answer without even having to find the place.
When Gu Ci raised his head, he waved his hand slowly and kindly at the master in the puzzled look. The yellow talismans gathered in an instant and wrapped him up, turning him into a burning humanoid monster.
The fishy smell with a hint of sewer odor made Gu Ci cover his nose and lean back.
Gu Ci watched the Lord roaring in pain in the flames, while the Lord watched the culprit standing aside unharmed. He struggled to get closer but fell to the ground the next moment.
His body, as if burned, quickly turned into a black gelatinous substance and merged into the ground. Then the substance quickly retreated to one place like a tide.
The darkness disappeared quickly, even a minute or two faster than when it came. Gu Ci looked around and found that he was still in the same church without moving too much.
But her wheelchair had been damaged, and it was not convenient to walk relying solely on the front two wheels. She also did not like the crooked and tilted posture.
But since she couldn't find a replacement for the time being, Gu Ci could only wrap the wheelchair with the pulling thread. When she got out of the dungeon, she would go and see where she could find a wheelchair that would not be assimilated when entering the dungeon and was resistant to attacks.
Gu Ci observed the small church again. The cocoon that the little butterfly broke out of was still there but no one could see it. However, this place gave her a very abrupt feeling.Shh, I'm behind you fifty-six
Shh, I'm behind you fifty-six
The strange cellar, the pile of bones under the inexplicably broken stairs, the finger bone and the existence of this church are all very strange.
It was as if he could sense something was vaguely wrong, but he didn't notice the weirdness of being spied on, which made Gu Ci couldn't help but take a few more glances.
However, Gu Ci still couldn't find any problem, so she kept this question in her heart and waited for the answer next time. However, she didn't expect that the little butterfly that had been motionless had regained its human form and stood behind Gu Ci.
"Mother Goddess..."
He looked at Gu Ci longingly. The huge butterfly wings drooped down like flowers wilted by frost, hanging limply on both sides of the body, looking a bit pitiful.
"Mother Goddess, please let me help you. Please don't reject my request, okay?"
Little Butterfly stood beside Gu Ci with self-blame in her eyes. He took a step back and stood behind Gu Ci, looking at the back of her head pleadingly. He didn't dare to look into her eyes, but his words were full of desire, hoping that she could give him a chance.
Gu Ci listened to his words and nodded with a smile. She turned around and looked directly into Xiao Hudie's eyes, but Xiao Hudie didn't dare to look directly into Gu Ci's eyes. She was afraid to see disappointment and doubt in Gu Ci's eyes.
Disappointed that as the Mother Goddess's most beloved child, he failed to help her solve her problems at the critical moment. He was afraid of reading disappointment or any look in the Mother Goddess's eyes that he could not accept.
But he didn't know how to explain it. Could it be that he couldn't make out the scene in front of him as if the frame was stuck?
Little Butterfly didn't dare to think, nor did he dare to guess. He could only use this clumsy way to attract the Mother Goddess so that she would not forget him, but...
The little butterfly wanted to hide his head under his feet, his heart was full of torment until he heard the gentle and kind voice of the Mother Goddess.
"You said... you are my child, right?"
"Yes, Mother Goddess, I am your most loyal and obedient child!"
The little butterfly immediately looked up at Gu Ci with expectant eyes and nodded vigorously. If he had a tail, his tail would probably turn into a propeller. Moreover, he always had a clear understanding of himself.
Moreover, he is much more loyal than these believers. Nothing can compare to the Mother Goddess, who is the great Mother Goddess...
He doesn't have a tail, but his excitement is obvious from his anticipation of taking off and his focused eyes.
"Then my child, will you help me?"
Gu Ci gently stroked Little Butterfly's face. The moment he touched his face, he could feel his body tense up for a moment, but it quickly softened.
The Mother Goddess actually touched him!
Little Butterfly was intoxicated by Gu Ci's tenderness as if he was drunk. He looked at Gu Ci intoxicatedly and couldn't help muttering to himself, "Yes, Mother Goddess, yes..."
Gu Ci withdrew her hand, which was covered with extremely fine powder. If you hold it against the light source, you can see that the places that touched the powder are shining, and it looks like a layer of highlighter.
"Then my child, do you know where else here, besides this cellar, is there any other place that is relatively hidden and hard to find?" Gu Ci looked at the little butterfly gently, only to see the little butterfly simply shaking its head in a state of ecstasy.
"I'm sorry, Mother Goddess. I fell asleep not long after I arrived here."
Gu Ci nodded regretfully, not planning to waste time here. She didn't know what would happen if she, the sacrifice, was not successfully offered. And what about her companions sacrificing her?
There are only four people left, so it seems easy to find out who betrayed her. She is not afraid and will just wait and see if the others will be backstabbed. She doesn't need to deliberately get involved in this kind of situation.
Gu Ci was pushed out of the church quickly by Little Butterfly. Mary, who was waiting outside the church, saw Gu Ci appear and her eyes widened. She stood up and tilted her head to look at the church and questioned Gu Ci.
"Where is the Lord? How did you come out?"
Gu Ci looked at Mary, whose countless tentacles were shaking beneath him, thought for two seconds, then waved at her regretfully.
"I don't know either. If you're interested, go look for it yourself!"
Gu Ci winked at her and walked past her, strangling Mary's neck and using the tentacles to fix Mary in a strange posture like a pin.
The tiny and sharp wire had cut Mary in some places, and black substance flowed out and quickly dyed Mary's nun's uniform black. It was not until dark that the wire loosened and retreated from Mary's body to the ground.
Gu Ci was in the room where they were being held. Perhaps because the images presented during the day and at night were different, all the scenes Gu Ci could see yesterday were after the riot.
But now Gu Ci did not find any signs of last night, and his observations along the way also confirmed this. The church was not destroyed, and the surrounding walls were not broken through...
As the previous evidence showed, there were children in the church. The older children might have been seen before the retrospection, but the younger children, including Lian Guci, had not been seen.
Gu Ci searched many places before he found Lian in a room. The room was very familiar. It was the room where Gu Ci lived a few days before he entered the church.
It was also a small bed, and the small window was sealed tightly so that not a single ray of light could be seen. Even when the door was opened, one could only see darkness inside and could not see what was inside clearly.
The person inside opened the door and half of his body was exposed as he looked at Gu Ci. "Are you going to the church to pray as well? An said that we don't need to go to pray these few days and let us rest here."
Gu Ci looked at the nun's innocent face and smiled.
"I'm Sister Ci, can I join you?"
As soon as Gu Ci finished speaking, Sister Lian exclaimed in surprise. Then she opened the door and leaned out half of her body to look at Gu Ci in surprise. "Weren't you sent away by An? Why are you back again?"
Gu Ci pursed his lips and lowered his head a little disappointedly, "My wheelchair is broken, there is no place to repair it nearby, so I came back. An asked me to come find you and be with you two."
Gu Ci's words made the nun suddenly realize something. She opened the door to make it easier for Gu Ci to come in. Seeing that Gu Ci was sitting in a wheelchair and it was inconvenient for him to come in, she quickly called out to the other nuns hiding in the room to come out and help push and pull.
Little Butterfly stood behind Gu Ci, looking at these people helping Gu Ci with grievance. In their eyes, he was just a piece of air, and they couldn't hear him when he spoke, which made him very angry.
After the nun and the others brought Gu Ci in, she looked outside carefully. After making sure that there was no one there, she closed the door, found the candle that had been hidden and relit it.
Gu Ci looked at the familiar room, the familiar furnishings and the familiar candle heads and said, "Lian, did An say how long you guys are going to stay here?"
