Evening Bell Church

Chapter 286 Sacrifice (Important must read!)

In the dark underground palace, the air was cold and damp.

The brick walls around were covered with moss and mushrooms, and the dripping sound of slowly falling water gave people a heavy sense of depression.

In the corner full of spider webs, a spider as big as a human fist was gnawing on the body of a mouse. In the cracks in the corners, a huge black centipede was confronting a snake...

The dark empty space was like an abandoned independent world, full of gloom and evil.

A chaotic sound of footsteps came from the corridor not far away. The dim firelight reflected on the wall, and countless insects hurriedly drilled into the cracks in the wall.

Through the firelight, it was vaguely seen that there were a large number of patterns on the wall under the moss and mushrooms.

These patterns have a long history and are blurred, like the inscriptions engraved on the ancient stone tablets, which have been baptized by the years and are full of desolation.

Although it has been blurred for a long time, it can still be vaguely seen that the drawing on it is a twisted and indescribable behemoth. The shape of the giant creature is indescribable, and even human thinking cannot understand it. It is beyond all science and common sense of biology. Even mystery and mythology cannot explain the twisted body structure.

It is as if this huge existence is an alien in the whole world, or the most primitive source of the whole world, a collection of chaos and contradictions.

The fire is getting closer and closer, and a group of people wearing light blue robes, pointed hoods, and faces hidden under the hoods can be seen coming.

There are about fifty people, and in front are four guards holding torches and wearing armor.

Behind the guards is a middle-aged man wearing a dark red robe and a crown.

Behind him on the left is a hunchbacked old man, and on the right is a plump lady.

Behind these people, there are a total of thirty maids in black robes, each of whom has a sleeping baby in their arms.

Behind the maids are twenty guards holding long spears.

A group of people walked out of the corridor and came to this strange underground palace. No one spoke. The gloomy atmosphere made people breathless.

The guards around lit torches and inserted them into the grooves of the surrounding walls, and the entire dark underground palace was completely illuminated.

In the light of the fire, spiders, centipedes, and poisonous snakes were frightened and quickly hid and disappeared.

The entire underground palace is very large, with a diameter of about 30 meters and a height of almost 10 meters.

It is built with stone bricks all around. There are sunken ditches on the ground that look like formations, and there are many small sunken holes in the middle. I don’t know what they are used for.

It is supported by seven thick pillars all around. The roof is an elliptical hemisphere, and there seem to be seven scorching suns painted on it.

In the innermost part of the underground palace, there is a dusty altar.

The altar has a simple appearance, and the bricks are a little broken and very dilapidated.

Especially in front of the altar, the three hideous deep scratches, as if the claws of some huge monster swept here.

On the left side of the altar is a statue of a woman kneeling and curled up.

But this statue is very strange, because the woman's head has completely exploded.

Yes, the whole statue looks like the moment the woman's head exploded. The sculpture of the statue is extremely realistic, just like a real person, lifelike.

You can see the brains splattered in the moment of the head explosion, the bursting skull, the eyeballs about to fly out of the eye sockets, and the twisted and hideous cheeks.

Even in the brains that are about to splatter, you can faintly see a weird little hand and some tiny tentacles.

The statue on the right is a headless woman bending down, stretching out her hand as if to pick up something, and she looks normal.

As the crowd approached, a large number of insects crawled out of the groove of the woman's head and ran to other places, which was very creepy.

In the middle of the altar, there is a twisted huge skull.

This skull is five times the size of a normal skull. The gray-black skull is full of cracks. There are six holes in front of it that symbolize eyes, and the mouth is high and bulging, like the mouth of a beast.

The skull does not seem to have completely decayed. There is still a small amount of hair on the top of the head full of cracks, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

The inside of the skull is completely empty, but the strange thing is that no insect has entered the skull, or from the large number of insect corpses piled up on the side, no insect can enter this skull.

Looking up at the statue on the right, the direction in which the woman stretched out her hands seemed to be ready to pick up this huge and strange skull.

"Your Majesty, it's ready." The old man and the middle-aged man came to the altar, made a weak and hoarse voice, and said to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man nodded slightly, turned his head and looked behind him and said: "Get ready, my people."

Hearing this, the maid's eyes gradually widened, her mouth opened to reveal her white teeth, and her face was full of fanaticism, looking like a group of man-eating lunatics.

The maids slowly dispersed, standing along three ditches leading to the altar, with a tiny hole in front of each of them.

Kneeling on the ground, they took out a silver-gray spike about one meter long from their arms, inserted the base into the tiny hole and fixed it, with the sharp tip facing up.

"Great ancient gods, our ancestors, our source, please accept our sacrifice now and wake up!" The skinny old man said with his arms open, suddenly picked up a knife and stabbed it into his chest.

Afterwards, he actually dug out his heart and held it in his hand, squeezing out the blood inside and pouring it on the skull.

The skull drenched in blood seemed alive at this moment, absorbing the blood quickly, and a strange gray light flashed in its six eyes.

After squeezing out all the blood from the heart, the old man knelt on the ground weakly, lowered his head, and died in a pool of blood.

The middle-aged man and the noblewoman took a step forward and walked to the front of the strange skull.

"% # %¥ # ¥" For a moment, a whisper that people could not understand rang out in the entire underground palace, as if speaking some ancient language, low and strange, making people's souls twisted after hearing it.

The sound became louder and louder, and the twenty guards around suddenly took out the spears in their hands and stabbed them into their chests. With a large amount of blood gushing out, their expressions became ferocious, their mouths opened wide, and they roared incomprehensible words.

The maids on the side stared with their eyes almost popping out, and their mouths with white teeth kept closing and muttering strange words, while their hands were raised high and suddenly fell down, and they actually stabbed the baby's body in their hands directly on the spikes in front of them.

In an instant, the spikes pierced the skulls of all the babies, and the bodies were hanging there, extremely cruel and bloody, making people's scalps numb and their whole bodies tremble.

A large amount of blood began to flow through three ditches to the altar.

On the altar, after confirming the situation, the middle-aged man and the lady stepped forward at the same time and reached out to touch the skull.

Gurgle...

In an instant, an indescribable weird sound instantly resounded throughout the underground palace.

As the sound rang out, all these people became ferocious and crazy, and they let out crazy roars.

And around, the countless insects and poisonous creatures hiding seemed to be attracted by something, or perhaps they were ordered and stimulated, and rushed towards these people like a tide.

Meanwhile, the living and dead here have all undergone extremely horrible mutations.

Some people's bodies shrank rapidly and finally disappeared; some people grew long hair and a lot of fingers all over their bodies; some people's heads collapsed into the chest cavity and broke out from the back; some people's bodies were twisted beyond recognition, like human-shaped pythons...

As these people mutated, the light in the eyes of the huge skull on the altar became even more terrifying.

"I... saw it!" The middle-aged man's eyes disappeared at this time, but he seemed to see something.

At this time, the insects had submerged everyone, and the harsh and creepy gnawing sounds resounded throughout the underground palace.

After more than ten seconds, someone's body suddenly began to swell violently and quickly devoured everything around.

In a few breaths, the huge dungeon was filled with the twisted and fat terrifying body.

I don't know how long it took before everything returned to calm.

It seemed that nothing had happened, and it seemed that an unseen shocking thing was happening...
