Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Lin Ran came to the wall, took out the dagger from his backpack, and lightly scratched it from inside.

Instantly, a thick smell of blood spread across the floor.

The smell of blood undoubtedly confirmed Wang Jinpeng's suspicion.

Wang Jinpeng quickly followed up and asked, "Brother Lin, have you discovered anything?"

Lin Ran shook his head and said, "I only know that human sacrifices should be placed here, but I don't know anything else."

"Place sacrifices?" Wang Jinpeng felt strange.

There is obviously a bronze tripod in front, but it turns out that the bronze tripod is used to keep time, and the wall is used to place sacrifices.

He couldn't understand it at all.

Lin Ran smiled. He only figured it out when he saw the groove.

Although it was vertical, when placing sacrifices, all one had to do was nail the corpse to the wall.

I just scraped it and saw another nail hole in the back.

Professor Liu trotted over and observed the groove beside him, also looking very interested.

Discussed with Lin Ran.

Wang Jinpeng listened boredly, shrugged and hid aside.

As a result, he heard them discussing the issue of sacrifice, and then he pricked up his ears and listened.

"This is indeed blood, but there seems to be something wrong with the timing."

After hearing their conversation, Wang Jinpeng came over and wanted to speak several times, but chose to keep his mouth shut as he could not disturb the research of the two scientists.

Upon hearing this, Professor Liu also leaned closer and smelled it.

The smell of blood is indeed a bit strong.

He couldn't help but cover his nose.

But Professor Liu became even more confused. Lin Ran said this to himself not to prove that his research results were wrong, nor to tell him that it was not an ancient tomb from the Warring States Period.

But I wanted to tell him that the altar in this ancient tomb was used not long ago.

He couldn't help but look at the abyss in front of him. Thinking about it carefully, it was really shuddering.

They were actually worshiping the devil.

The coffins in the tomb previously contained believers of the ghost family.

In terms of numbers, there are not many people.

If it is true as what is written on the inscription that Professor Liu saw earlier, they have all been martyred.

How could those people build such a magnificent altar?

There is obviously something wrong with claiming credit on the battlefield.

Lin Ran said: "If I guess correctly, professor, the information you see should be used by them to beautify themselves."

Professor Liu took a deep breath.

After all, it is an ancient book. Nowadays, people know how to beautify their own sins. The ancients only had one way to record it in writing, so they naturally knew better.

It can only be said that their ideas have far surpassed that era, and they have even passed on their ideas to after 2000.

Professor Liu touched his head: "You may be right."

The inscriptions on the altar record their sins.

Human sacrifices, the use of viruses, everything.

The real devil on earth.

Professor Liu raised his head: "We have seen enough here, should we go?"

"Yeah." Lin Ran nodded. He didn't find the antidote here.

Through the previous encounters on the platform, he had confirmed that the "curse" actually came from this ancient tomb.

He hopes to find an ancient book like "Health Preservation Techniques", which may contain methods to crack it.

Otherwise, you can only be like him and wait for others to wake you up forcibly.

But he felt something was wrong. In the mental hospital, he clearly saw the doctor using electric shock equipment, but he didn't wake them up?

Carefully recalling the moment when he woke up, he only woke up after dying in the hallucination after the explosion.

Could it be said that death is the real beginning?

But when he thought about being chased by ghost dolls on the platform just now, he thought it was impossible.

If the mind accepts the reality of death, the body literally goes into shock.

It's a pity that he is only a mortal after all and cannot enter other people's spiritual world.

Lin Ran looked at the empty stone platform: "Let's go down."

He was panicking if he continued to stay here. As the saying goes, it is easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down. Facing such steep steps, he had to remind others to pay attention to their steps.

If you are not careful, you will become a sacrifice in the abyss.

Just when Wang Jinpeng was about to take the lead and walk down, suddenly, the altar shook again.

They were so frightened that they quickly ran away from the edge to avoid being shaken to the ground.

With their previous experiences, they simultaneously looked at the bronze tripod in the center of the altar.

Then, an iron door suddenly fell from the sky and blocked the path to the steps.

This caught them off guard and the way back was blocked.

"Damn, isn't it?" Wang Jinpeng looked at the stone gate, which perfectly connected with the stone below.

It's impossible to get over it.

He tried to use a shovel to pry open the stone door, but it was like a mantis trying to use a car, with no response.

They were trapped at the altar again.

"What can we do?" Huang Lei was already exhausted mentally and physically. What happened in the ancient tomb was completely unexpected to him. It was dozens of times more difficult than he imagined.

Lin Ran did not answer, but returned to the bronze tripod.

After stopping to observe the words above, Professor Liu also came back.

Lin Ran stared at the inscription on it and suddenly asked: "Professor Liu, are the words on it related to sacrifice?"

Professor Liu nodded solemnly and explained the text above.

Lin Ran listened carefully, and it was exactly what he thought.

The words above are actually the steps of sacrifice, which is an extremely strange and ancient ritual.

"It seems that we have to complete the sacrifice before we can leave this altar." Lin Ran frowned.

The Gui family's organization is really insidious and vicious, which means that if they don't take action as soon as possible, they are likely to be buried here.

Can't waste any more time.

Lin Ran immediately returned to the indentation. Perhaps there were other clues hidden in the wall.

Lin Ran had noticed before that mysterious symbols were carved around the dent.

But he didn't mention it at first. Professor Liu looked closer and his eyes flashed with excitement.

"It's Yin Yang Bagua."

These symbols look very special, but I didn't expect them to be metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and yin and yang.

This is obviously the key to the puzzle.

Lin Ran took out his notebook from his backpack and began to write down these symbols.

Then sit on the ground and try to analyze their meaning.

Professor Liu also joined the research, and the two explored these mysterious symbols together.

Wang Jinpeng watched from the side and broke out in cold sweat: "Brother Lin, you are not going to sacrifice us, are you?"

No matter how you look at it, this is a place of human sacrifice.

Lin Ran nodded and replied affirmatively: "That's right, Wang Jinpeng. According to the description on the bronze tripod, living people are indeed needed to perform sacrifices here."

"What should we do?" Wang Jinpeng was shocked. Could it be that one of the five of them was really required to choose to die here.

It's okay to ask him to protect his teammates, but Wang Jinpeng will never do it if he is asked to sacrifice himself.
