Chapter 115 Sacrifice and Summoning

Listening to Lisa's science popularization with relish, Aiwen perfected his impression of the world little by little in his mind.

All in all, this is a world that seems to have many monsters, evil gods, etc. that are difficult for humans to resist, but in fact, these guys are rarely seen in action.

Occasionally, the slight impact of monsters that pop up will be quickly covered up by the joint efforts of the government and investigators to prevent the panic they cause from disrupting the original order of human society.

But for some unknown reason, various abnormal events have occurred more and more frequently.

Part of this is the reason why the cultists conspired collectively and seemed to be doing things secretly, and at the same time, it was also because the monsters themselves became more active.

"Many people have speculated whether the prophesied catastrophe of annihilation is coming, and that's why it happened."

"Many mystical scholars are worried about this, and they are currently gathering somewhere to discuss a solution."

Maybe it was because other people in the team rarely talked about these things with him. As a mystic scholar, Lisa talked about some secrets with great interest, but at this moment, Aiwen suddenly went into a trance.

In an instant, the girl in front of him disappeared, and a picture from an overhead angle flashed in his mind.
Dim fanning. Flickering torches. Crowds in black robes. Altars of dried-up hearts
In addition to the blurry picture, there is also a faint voice whispering in his ear
"Great. Terrible. Mysterious. Pious sacrifice."

This scene only appeared in his consciousness for a moment, and then disappeared quickly.

But looking at the girl dancing on the sofa one meter away from him, a strange feeling began to emerge in his heart
Like, someone is calling him?

"what's the situation?"

Frowning, Aiwen found that strange double images began to appear in his vision.

Some were white bones protruding from the wall like ribs, and some were skulls that suddenly flashed behind Lisa.
He waved his hand and grabbed at a piece of flying bone fragments. His palm seemed to touch something, but in the end there was nothing.

Looking down at the palm of his hand, the figure of a giant beast flashed in Aiwen's eyes, and all the illusions of bones were instantly shattered, and then it seemed that the fledglings returning home were instantly absorbed into his body and disappeared.

However, the feeling of being called is getting stronger and stronger.
"Tch, it looks a bit troublesome."

Squinting his eyes and thinking for a while, Aiwen suddenly picked up the wooden box, and grabbed a "raincoat" who didn't know who it was. Regardless of the surprised and guarded eyes of the four people from the moment he reached out, he turned around and opened the door to leave .

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Lisa watched his figure disappear into the dark rainy night in an instant, and subconsciously yelled twice, and was immediately stopped by the captain with a wave.

"Don't make a sound! If you don't want to die, don't be too curious about this situation."

As a long-standing veteran, captain Edwin let out a sigh of relief after confirming that Aiwen had really gone far, then turned to look at Lisa, and said word by word:
"Have you forgotten what we learned at the police station?"

"Aiwen, he actually blew the head of the ghoul that was about to transform with his bare hands! And the original old seal had been destroyed, and I hadn't had time to bring him a new one!"

Lisa, who was obviously also aware of something, was reminded, and her face turned pale when she recalled these.

Especially when she thought that she was sitting so close to Aiwen just now, and even talked to him for a long time, the terrified girl couldn't help but tremble.
He didn't pay attention to the reactions of the four teammates who were dropped by him.

At this moment, Aiwen, who had already put on his "raincoat" and rushed into the rainstorm, was full of all kinds of weird "prayers" that appeared suddenly.

In the damaged and incomplete prayers, some people are longing for knowledge, others are praying for eternal life, and some even want to resurrect their dead relatives.

And the prices they proposed, or the sacrifices, were mostly bloody, and they were basically full-person banquets, so it was obviously not a good idea at first glance.

Among them, the strongest, and at the same time uncontrollably attracted Aiwen firmly, and the one that he couldn't help but want to go to was the cave altar that used human hearts as sacrifices that appeared at the very beginning.

In the northeast, which didn't seem to be far away, the small but unstoppable calls of those cultists kept lingering in his mind.

That feeling is similar to what a certain monkey described

——Mother-in-law, chirping and whistling, it’s like a fly is surrounding you all day, no, not one, it’s a bunch of flies surrounding you!
Although I don't know why Mao's [Steel Faith] didn't work at this time, but Ivan, who was full of rage, decided that I was going to kill those gangsters who rushed to the street today, and no one would stop me!

In the quiet and rainy night, like a strange phantom, he quickly left the city and climbed over the city wall.
Finally, stepping on the muddy grass, I walked into a gloomy mountain forest full of tall trees.

The ancient trees protrude high into the sky, and the swollen branches and leaves connect together, making the already dim light even more gloomy.

getting closer
When Aiwen finally arrived at the place where the call came from, his vision suddenly opened up. A huge natural cave cut off the dense jungle and appeared abruptly in front of him.

"right here!"

Opening the wooden box, he took the "Elegy" that was becoming more and more difficult to detect in the dark, and with the flashing thunder in the sky, he walked into the dark cave step by step
Perhaps because the sacrifice was being held inside, Aiwen did not encounter any obstacles in the first half of the cave, until there was a faint fire coming from the front, and some figures reflected by the light began to appear on the wall.

Those were two guards standing under torches.

Although the black hooded robes blocked their whole bodies, through the outlines blown by the breeze, Ivan still noticed the traces of the armor and weapons covered underneath.

However, this meant nothing to him.

A certain person who was completely thrown into a state of rampage by the more frequent and clear calls rushed over in a few steps. The terrifying speed brought air waves that pierced through the air. Before the opponent had time to warn, he punched and kicked the wall directly.

Without even looking at the two guards who slid down the wall with a bloody trail, he walked through the last passage of the cave and came to the end of the cave tunnel

- a huge hall of natural stalactites

Stepping in the running water that can submerge the depth of the ankle, about 40 cult members are bowing their heads in prayer under the leadership of a leader.

In front of everyone, on a huge and slightly ancient altar, a hill-like heart was placed in the center of a magic circle carved with blood and covered with distorted runes and patterns, bloody and weird
