Mysterious Catastrophe

Only then did Aaron realize that Xiu was among those who did not burn. Obviously, he had completed the first stage of the ceremony and successfully awakened his own spirituality.

"This woman is quite talented on the road of darkness."

A guy who is practically incompetent couldn't help complaining bitterly.

He followed Xiu all the way back to the hut where she lived with her two children.

At this time, there were no watchers outside the hut. It seemed that they were completely accepted by the Black Sun Church.

After entering the house and looking around vigilantly, Xiu Fei quickly closed the door.

"Aunt Xiu!"

At this time, in the house, Ike and Lin were both there, and they cheered when they saw Xiu come in.

"Okay, I have become the Unburned, learned the spell, and can leave here."

Xiu opened a floor, and underneath it was the black bread and cans they had saved during this period, a large bag full of them, and other field tools.

"I have already inquired. The Black Sun Cult is not as simple as it seems... The rumored burning of living people also exists. The high priest may be waiting for a specific spiritual number and date... Must go, can't stay, um... ...Even if you are outside, you can continue to delve into the dark path..."

Xiu didn't realize that she had been changed a little unconsciously.

For example, no longer resist the belief of the black sun.

This time, he just wanted to escape from the Black Sun Cult, not from the Black Sun!

"But... Aunt Xiu, are we really going to leave? I think those uncles and aunts are very kind and even gave me and my sister candy."

A look of hesitation appeared on Ike's face.

Xiu's expression changed, and he suddenly became confused and painful...

She seemed to have thought of something, and her face turned pale: "This kind of influence is too terrible... I am still an adult. You two children must leave here immediately and stay away from the 'mystery'!"

Chapter 24 The Beast of Darkness

"Let's go right away, we'll leave here as soon as it gets dark!"

Xiu stood up and paced back and forth restlessly.

The mania on her face made Lin almost cry in fright.

"Okay, Aunt Xiu, you take a rest first, I'll go get something. You can't skip today's food, they will be suspicious."

Ike nodded and walked out of the cabin.

Xiu barely suppressed the mania in his heart, and sat cross-legged.

Along with the meditation, her breathing gradually calmed down. Looking at Lin, she suddenly felt that this girl was a little different from usual.

"Lin, come here!"

Xiu beckoned.

To her surprise, Lin didn't come over, but backed away in fear.

Xiu stood up, grabbed Lin with a stride, and suddenly pulled her clothes away. On the little girl's pink arm, there was a circle of black tattoos.

"This is……"

Xiu suddenly felt his hair stand on end.

"Woooo..." Lin burst into tears: "Ike told me that he will definitely become a big shot, and you will be a good firewood... woooo..."

"I was careless..."

Xiu's heart was full of regrets. She was immersed in the study of the extraordinary path during this time, and completely ignored Ike, a half-grown child. How would he be affected by a group of cultists?

"Damn it, he must have gone out to inform."

Xiu opened the floor, put the backpack on his back, pulled Lin, turned around and ran out of the house.

After leaving the house, she walked faster and faster, and soon reached the edge of the town.

On the edge of the town, there are usually patrol teams led by Burning Sons. They have often reached the second stage and have the power to control the flames. They are opponents that Xiu does not want to face.

However, if it was a surprise attack, there might still be a chance.

After all, the other party thought she was a church member, and because she wanted to escape, she also got acquainted with the patrol team.

But this time, Xiu had very bad luck.

She saw the Black Sun cultists gathered at the gate of the town, the leader was the high priest, and he was holding a child, it was Ike!

Xiu's heart sank, and he quickly recited a mysterious incantation, summoning the black wind that seemed to have life.

"Are you attacking me with the spell I taught you, Xiu?"

The high priest moved his lips, and the black wind disappeared invisible.

Xiu's heart sank directly.

Aaron watched the scene calmly.

He knew there was nothing he could do about it until he found a way to interfere with the world.

In the end, Xiu was caught without a fight. After all, she still had Lin with her. If she fought, she would hurt the girl accidentally.

Moreover, in the face of the opponent's strong strength, resistance is meaningless.

"Tell me, what does firewood mean?"

When being tied up, Xiu finally couldn't help but speak.

"You will see."

The high priest smiled.

Aaron suddenly had a feeling that he was about to get in touch with the core secrets of the Black Sun Church.

……

Two days later, when day and night alternate.

On the town square, Aaron saw people tied up one after another.

Under their feet, there is also a ritual that is so complex and exquisite that it looks like a work of art.

"Spiritual numbers and divination are confirmed. At this time today, it is the best choice to please my lord."

The high priest took off his hood, revealing his head covered with tattoos and spells: "And you, too, will become my firewood, and we will appreciate the charm of this high-level ceremony together. It is called a solar eclipse!"

Aaron suddenly thought of the high priest's first sermon—"Darkness is a symbol of destruction and sublimation. It can keep us from being burned. If we want to awaken the spirituality of darkness, we must first burn ourselves and sacrifice our flesh and blood. Passing through the three great gates, experiencing the solar eclipse ceremony, and the person who completes it will be destroyed, this is also a great achievement!"

"Now it seems that the three gates refer to the three stages of the Unburned, the Burning Son, and the Dark Chaser. Only when you stand at the top of the Dark Chaser can you hold the solar eclipse ceremony?"

Aaron stood in the crowd, just quietly watching the high priest pretending.

The high priest's face was slightly flushed, obviously excited to the extreme: "Mortal people have their limits. After completing the ceremony, I will shed my mortal body and obtain a new life form. I will be closer to my lord. I will enter a new stage! Now ,Time is up!"

raging!

Accompanied by the order, the Black Sun cultists on the periphery recited the mantra together.

And amidst the strange sound of incantations, clusters of pitch-black flames suddenly burned above the ritual, devouring one sacrifice after another.

Xiu even saw that Sauron, the betrayer of the former refuge, also became a 'firewood'!

He screamed, his body melting like a wax figure.

And in the ceremony, traces of inexplicable things gathered on the high priest as if they were summoned and attracted by something.

"Dedicate everything to the lord of the eclipse, sublimate in the flames, gain the favor of darkness, and become a beast of darkness!"

The high priest roared and shouted, and black flames also burned on his body.

The raging flames quickly engulfed his body, and in the raging flames, it seemed that a new form was being conceived...

"Sure enough... the dark spirituality among Black Sun Cultists can be deprived and devoured by each other... That's why the high priest keeps pulling people, preaching, and even teaching without reservation."

"Their spirituality... are all 'firewood', they are all burning sacrifices, and they are all the nourishment for the growth of the beast of darkness!"

Aaron watched coldly.

For this scene, those Black Sun Cultists seemed to be used to it, and the eyes of the Burning Sons were full of desire.

They are far more powerful than the Unburned, but they are not suitable as sacrifices.

"So that's how it is..."

Aaron murmured that the Black Sun Cult now had no secrets in his eyes.

In other words, he has figured out the highest secret biography of the Black Sun Cult!

"Aunt Xiu!"

Outside the venue, Lin was crying, but Ike hugged her tightly and covered her lips.

"Auntie Xiu has gone to a higher light realm, and she is one step closer to the black sun."

Ike murmured comfortingly and hypnotically in Lin's ear.

When the sun went down, all the firewood in the ceremony had been burned, and the black flames were gradually extinguished.

raging!

Suddenly, a monster with the body of a dog and the head of a human was burning with pitch-black flames, leaping out of the ashes.

It's the high priest!

He successfully performed the solar eclipse ritual, changed his life form, and became a beast of darkness!

……

night.

The carnival Black Sun Cultists were either carnival or fell into a deep sleep.

In Ike's hut, the door creaked open.

Lin raised her head and looked at the bright starry sky: "Aunt Xiu...uh...I miss you so much, I'm sorry..."

She looked at the crimson moon and recalled the legends of her hometown.

The soul of the dead will ascend to the moon and gaze at everyone in the world.

And tonight's moon seems to be particularly round...

"Mother……"

Lin immediately thought of her mother, and tears welled up in her eyes.

I don't know if it was a hallucination, but with tears in her eyes, she seemed to see a giant tree made of flesh and blood on the moon...

Chapter 25 Attack

"Crimson Moon..."

Aaron murmured that he had seen many terrifying existences in this world, and heard the ravings of the evil gods when they were born, but among them, the black sun and the crimson moon were the most palpitating.

The reason is simple, you can see them as soon as you look up.It can be seen from this that they have a terrifying impact on the world, and people in this world, even if they are awake, have potential madness factors, so they are most likely to be affected by the black sun and the crimson moon.

At this moment, he saw a blush in Lin's eyes, the little girl's Adam's apple was rolling, swallowing, her little face was full of longing, no, or should I say hunger!

She stared hungrily at Ike who was sleeping in the hut, almost unable to suppress her desire.She wants to devour his flesh and blood happily, she wants to enjoy the sweetness and delicacy.

In Lin's eyes, there is a red color flowing.

In the end, however, she suppressed her longing with great perseverance.

The little girl finally turned to the side, and turned into a pool of crimson blood while walking, sinking into the darkness.

Behind her, Aaron watched all this and murmured to himself: "The existence on the crimson moon - the flesh and blood mother tree, is his domain blood and motherhood? It seems that his followers are indeed very interested in devouring flesh and blood , As for the others, we need to continue to observe."

……

The next day.

Ike got up and found that Lin was lying next to him, sleeping peacefully, with a smile lingering on her little face with baby fat, as if she was having a sweet dream.

He walked out of the room, only to find that the atmosphere in Black Sun Town was not right.

The crowd gathered tensely once, and there were squads led by the Burning Son running around.
