Tomb Raider: The Fox's Ways to Seducing the Kirin

The altar for sacrifice was very simple. The entire stone wall was carved out and engraved with strange runes. The ground was swept clean by them, and a huge stone stood in the middle.

The bloodstains on the boulder had long dried up, and they were of varying depths. Layers upon layers of bloodstains were spread on the boulder. There were four iron chains fixed at the four corners of the boulder, and the iron chains were also covered with thick bloodstains.

The thick blood color made the villagers standing in front of the altar look hideous, just like executioners about to start an execution.

The village chief standing in front of the team waved to the villagers. The villagers who received the instructions understood what the village chief meant, released the girl in the cage, and dragged her all the way to the village chief.

The village chief raised his hand and patted the face of the drowsy girl in front of him, grinning and saying, "Aren't you very good at showing off? Since you are so kind, then you should bear the wrath of the mountain god for her!"

Yun Meir was locked up by them for two days without a drop of water. Her body was already so weak that she couldn't even use an ounce of strength.

The girl forced herself to raise her head, staring at the village chief who had torn off his hypocritical mask. She suddenly laughed, and because her tongue had been pulled out, her laughter was gurgling, more like the sobbing of a devil.

The village chief got goosebumps when he saw the girl's vicious look. He slapped the girl hard in the face, and the girl's head tilted to the side.

"Hahahaha..." The girl fell to the ground, still laughing wildly. Her eyes were sinister and gloomy, and her lips were covered with dark red blood.

Perhaps the girl's laughter was too creepy, the village chief did not delay any longer and gestured to the villagers standing nearby.

Several people worked together to lock Yun Meir on the stone platform and started their so-called sacrificial ceremony.

The tendons of his hands and feet were cut, and bright red blood gushed out and flowed onto the stone platform, adding a bright red to the blood-stained stone platform.

As time passed, Yun Meir's consciousness gradually became blurred.

She vaguely felt someone dragging her down from the stone platform. Before she opened her eyes, the sudden feeling of weightlessness made her realize her current situation.

It's also a relief...

You demons must suffer with me as I suffer. Even if my soul is torn apart, I will drag you to hell with me...

At the last moment of her life, the girl cast a desperate curse.

"Cheng Ji! Cheng Ji! Wake up!" A cold voice sounded in the boy's ears, and the earth spun and the sky spun again, and the boy's thoughts were pulled back to reality.

Cheng Ji raised his hand and rubbed his aching brow, then looked at the female ghost Yun Mei'er who was kneeling in front of him: "It's not like your soul can be solidified in such a short time, so you ate them all later?"

Yun Meir has already realized that the two people in front of her, who look young but have unfathomable strength, did not come in by mistake, but came here for this mountain.

He gave up the idea of ​​persuading them to leave and nodded obediently.

The young man was having a headache facing this mute girl, no, a mute ghost, who couldn't talk: "You don't want us to go up because of the altar?"

Yun Meir nodded and then shook her head.

Cheng Ji then speculated: "It's not entirely because of the altar, so there is something on it that you are afraid of as well?"

Yun Meir nodded repeatedly, with a hint of panic in her dull and pale eyes.

"Lead the way. If you feel scared, we can go there by ourselves later." Cheng Ji said soothingly.

Yun Meir stood up as she was told, walked in front of the two of them, and carefully led them all the way up the mountain.

Cheng Ji walked with Zhang Qiling for a while, and the more he walked, the more he felt something was wrong. Even if Zhang Qiling was usually taciturn, he would not be so silent. Thinking of this, Cheng Ji moved closer to Zhang Qiling.

Zhang Qiling remained unmoved when facing the young man approaching him. His lowered eyes were filled with an expression that only he knew.

Although the young man did not explain to him clearly the secret method he had just used, he still guessed it roughly.

In his understanding, he should go to the ghost girl's memory to find the key to the problem. However, when the boy fell down after using the secret method, he still panicked.

If the boy wasn't still breathing, he would have really thought he would have failed to live up to the trust given to him by the boy's father.

But it didn't take long before the boy's body began to convulse and tremble, and his breathing became weak.

He was afraid that something unexpected might happen, so he woke up the boy in a panic.

Seeing that Zhang Qiling ignored him, Cheng Ji immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

He pissed him off.

Cheng Ji secretly cursed in his heart and tugged at the god's sleeve in a flattering manner: "Don't be angry with me, brother. You called my name at the right time. I'm fine, really!"

Zhang Qiling frowned and asked the key question: "What would happen if I didn't call you?"

You will die, and be trapped in the emotions of the vengeful spirit, and will never be able to escape.

The boy hung his head and didn't answer.

But Zhang Qiling guessed it. If he hadn't woken him up just now, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Zhang Qiling didn't look at the boy's expression and said calmly: "Don't trust anyone."

including me.

He didn't know why the young man trusted him so unreservedly, but he would eventually be blessed by God, and they would be strangers when they met again.

Cheng Ji heard the subtext and sadness in Zhang Qiling's tone, and said hastily: "I know you won't let anything happen to me, brother!"

"Even if no one believes you, I will still believe you. Please don't be angry with me, okay? I will definitely not take risks again next time!"

"It's the second time."

"?" Zhang Qiling's four inexplicable words successfully interrupted Cheng Ji's spell.

Seeing the boy's confused look, Zhang Qiling sighed softly.

Forget it, why bother with a little liar?

"Things can only be done three times."

"Okay!" the boy promised with a smile.

However, he knew the boy's character well enough to not be fooled by his casual promise. He glanced at the boy and motioned him to follow.

The two people and the ghost were walking up the mountain in rare harmony.

Of course, it was just an appearance. The subtle pressure deliberately released by the young man made the little ghosts who coveted the essence of the living people breathless. They huddled together and hid far away, fearing that they would accidentally offend the living king of the ghost world in front of them.

When they reached a position that was estimated to be halfway up the mountain, the altar that Cheng Ji saw in empathy appeared in their sight.

What was different from what he saw then was that dozens of weathered skeletons were crookedly placed around the boulder, all in a kneeling position.

Cheng Ji was a little stunned and asked the female ghost who led the way: "Did you do all this?"

Unexpectedly, Yun Meir shook her head, indicating that she didn't do it.

Cheng Ji wanted to ask something, but before he could open his mouth, something unexpected happened!

A thick resentment overflowed from the ancient well beside the altar. The entire sacrificial site was filled with cold winds, and the trees were whistling.

"Didn't you stop them from coming over? Why did you let these two people come over?" A sinister voice came from the ancient well, carrying with it a bone-chilling chill.
