Magical girls just want to get off work

Chapter 169 【】Living Sacrifice

"Why is this thing so hard! Why can't it be destroyed?! Do we have to take it out by force?"

Some people in the Countermeasures Department tried their best but were unable to cause damage to this amorphous cube, as if this strange Rubik's Cube did not exist in the real world at all. All they saw was the reflection in the water. No matter how many stones they threw, it only caused the reflection to shake. Down, the water surface returned to calm.

As time passed by, some people began to suggest that they simply destroy the stone pillars that fixed Pandora's Box and take it to the outside world to find another way out.

"No! I don't know what the consequences will be if I take this thing out!"

The proposal was opposed by some people, because no one knew what the function of this thing was. If it were like a nuclear reactor, it would become unstable after being separated from the control of the container, causing unexpected consequences.

Moreover, there are no scary monsters here, so it is the safest place. If you forcefully break out, it will easily lead to the entire army being annihilated and the mission not being completed.

"We must find a way to dispose of it here. Since it is stored here, there must be a way to manipulate it. There is no way this thing is just a decoration."

If you can't attack by force, you can only outwit them.

The leader of the squad said as he looked at Jasmine. This maid obeyed her master's orders to perform tasks. There was no way she didn't know what this was.

"This cube seems to be called Pandora's Box."

Jasmine hammered her hand and explained the name that came to her mind to everyone.

"Pandora's Box? The mysterious box that is said to release all kinds of disasters when opened? Haha, it does fit the current situation. But it should leave hope in the end."

Everyone had questions.

"You are overthinking, that is a fabricated legend. Now it is just a data terminal that stores all kinds of wonderful knowledge. Although some knowledge is enough to change the world, the power it holds cannot become the power of the poisonous snake curse beast. source of."

Jasmine thought about it seriously, and it seemed that someone had deliberately placed the magic box in a conspicuous place, making them mistakenly think that this thing was the goal of the trip. Regardless of whether it was destroyed, the real proto-nucleus would not be damaged.

So who did it? Stark? Commander? Who gave him the magic box?

"Wait a minute, are we missing someone?"

Someone noticed the anomaly and counted the number of people nearby. Sure enough, it was different from before coming.

The magician named Tan Dou who temporarily formed a team with them disappeared.

"When did he disappear?"

Jasmine asked in surprise.

But she saw a group of people shaking their heads. Their attention had been attracted by the magic box from just now. If someone hadn't suddenly discovered it, their eyes might still be distracted by the magic box.

Tan Dou, who had disappeared, was walking in the darkness at this time. She listened to the calls in her ears and gradually moved deeper. Soon she saw a closed secret room. The door of the secret room was ajar, and some light flowed out of it, as if it was... An invitation to Tan Dou.

"Tan Dou... Mom is right here..."

A familiar voice came from behind the door.

That was the mother he had not seen for fifteen years. Tan Dou was excited and stepped forward to open the door, wanting to tell his mother the pain and happiness of these years.

However, after opening the door, he was dumbfounded, because what he saw was not the gentle, considerate and caring adult woman in his memory, nor was it the middle-aged woman who had expected to be more than 100 years old and frail. A woman, but something like a squirming lump of flesh.

It had no limbs or facial features, and its whole body was dark red, like expired beef liver, exuding a rotten stench.

The surface of the flesh and blood is inlaid with many colorful crystals, and those crystals are still popping up and sinking as the flesh moves.

Some meaningless and monotonous repetitive sounds came from inside the blood clot.

"Dou'er, Dou'er, I'm here..."

It's like calling someone, and it's like a mechanical repetition.

Even though Tan Dou was already standing in front of it, it didn't respond at all and was still making unexplained calls.

Tan Dou never forgot the feeling of blood connection, so he tentatively spoke.

"mom?"

Not seeing each other for fifteen years made Tan Dou feel very excited, but he also had too much confusion in his heart.

Why did his mother become like this, and how did she survive?

Tan Dou recalled the daily life of getting along with his mother when he was a child. As the eldest son of a magician family, he had been tasked with revitalizing the family since he was a child. His father and grandfather were extremely harsh on him since he was a child. If he was not careful, he would be punished. Beaten severely, the elders all believe in the saying that a filial son emerges from under the stick, and they were all taught this by their fathers. This is the truth they believe in.

Only the mother would carefully wipe Tan Dou's body and apply some plaster at night and then complain that her husband is too harsh. How young is the child? He actually asked him to learn magic that he shouldn't be exposed to across levels. No matter how talented he is, he can't be like this. Just fuck around.

Tan Dou has developed the habit of sleeping peacefully in his mother's arms since he was a child.

His mother is the person he loves most and the person he wants to protect the most.

The young Tan Dou grew up day by day, and showed impressive strength at the age of fifteen or sixteen. It was both talent and hard work. He was bound to win the position of clan leader.

He is the eldest son of the clan leader, and he is also the strongest and most talented among the younger generation in the family. It is natural for him to inherit his father's business from now on.

At that time, Tan Dou also made up his mind that as long as he became the clan leader, he would definitely protect his mother's safety, and no one could hurt his mother again.

However, the change came so suddenly. When Tan Dou had just turned twelve, just like after leaving the mysterious church, his mother became bedridden, and was eventually locked in the house, and the mother and son were even prohibited from seeing each other.

As time passed slowly, I missed my mother more and more deeply.

Tan Dou had quarreled with his father and grandfather many times.

As a son, he just wants to see his mother. Why is it so difficult?

The father was very sad, but the grandfather was a little embarrassed. Facing his precious grandson, he could only show his face and said angrily: "Your mother ended up like this just to protect you! That stupid woman brought it upon herself. It has nothing to do with us. nothing!"

The elders of the family also seemed to be deliberately hiding something.

The uninvited guest Father Andre suddenly found the Wang family. That night the magician family suffered a massacre, and the arrogant magician family was destroyed overnight.

After all these years of grief and regret, only numbness remains.

The decline of his family and the death of his parents made the once high-spirited and talented young man become thinner and thinner, losing his fighting spirit and grace, sinking in depravity, and then sinking in depravity.

Tan Dou had never dreamed of his mother, and chose to block all memories related to her in order to escape the cruel facts.

But, today, at this moment, right here.

Wang Jie saw his mother again.

However, it has been fifteen years since we met again this time.

Today is not what it used to be, and the world has undergone tremendous changes. .

Time is enough to change people's appearance, but it cannot distort the emotions in their hearts.

Tan Dou considered his mother not dead and he could still see her as a blessing in misfortune.

However, living in this posture, with that pain, with that suffering, is living really a blessing?

Wang Jie secretly clenched his fists.

His heart was filled with anger towards the enemy who had transformed his mother into this.

"Oh. You really made me wait long enough."

The flirty voice was very familiar.

Tan Dou looked up, and the person who appeared in the shadow was indeed Nap.

"Nip...why are you here..."

Although he had some guesses in his mind, Tan Dou was really not sure, so he questioned Naipu.

Obviously many, many people are ready to fight with Nip, so why does Nip still have the leisure to wait for him here?

"How should I put it? Yus not only snatched away my toy, but also let the toy beat me up. Yus increased the toy a bit too much, and it was very troublesome for me to deal with it. So, in order to fight back against that The guy who did this, I'm ready to take back the power I deserve."

As he spoke, Nip came to the piece of meat in the middle of the secret room. He gently touched the surface of the flesh and blood object. He held one of the brightly colored stones and stretched out his hand to pull it out. Blood flowed out. Crystal stones of flesh and blood were played in the palm of the hand.

The crystal has a unique shape, like a shining cube with 38 sides.

Tan Dou's contemptuous gesture made Tan Dou extremely angry. She said angrily: "I don't understand! What does your regaining power have to do with my mother! Is the toy you are talking about the poisonous snake cursed beast outside? It has been instructing Stark to be here. Action?! Is it because of you that my mother is like this?"

Several questions in succession.

Jean Napp scratched his face and said relaxedly: "It seems that you don't know anything. Your mother is a poor person. She was deceived by your father and loved you too much, so she became like this. Speaking of which, she is the chief culprit. The culprit is still you. However, it is only thanks to stupid humans like you that I can come to this world."

"Nonsense! Answer my question! What the hell are you!"

Nip's provocative words made Tan Dou furious. Being unable to protect his relatives has always been a pain in his heart.

However, Knapp was still shaking her head, and it seemed that she didn't take it to heart at all. She told a story lightly.

"Before that, let me tell you a story. About three thousand years ago, the cursed beasts of the abyss were rampant and the people were in dire straits. A transcendent existence divided your world into two, one for light and one for shadow. Shadow Separated from the real world, the shadow world not only took away all the cursed beasts, but also took away all the extraordinary powers. Therefore, the real world has entered the Age of Ending Dharma, and the path of cultivation for cultivators has become extremely difficult, and it is even more difficult to advance to the next level. It's difficult, the magic power is getting less and less, and gradually many people have simply lost the ability to use magic. This is an extremely difficult thing for the magician family to accept, and the desire for power in their hearts overwhelms everything else."

As she said that, Nap glanced at Tan Dou, and she smiled and said: "Don't laugh, aren't you the same? How many times have you thought about what I can do when I have the power. Your desires are not inferior to those of Tan Dou. Your ancestors.”

These words revealed Tan Dou's weakness again, and he deeply felt Naipu's thorough research on human nature.

"Later, they found a way to make themselves stronger, which was to use the power of gods to bless themselves. They even found supporting props that could summon evil gods. So in more than three thousand years, I came to Earth before, and I was summoned by your ancestors. To put it simply, you are destined to me."

There was a slight mockery at the corner of Nip's mouth. A group of overestimating human beings dared to take the initiative to pray for the evil god to come. However, thanks to this, Nip was able to find this wonderful world hidden in the cracks of space, and also found what he had been longing for. Crystal.

As the saying goes, it is easier to invite gods than to send them away. This world is so interesting, how could Nap leave so easily.

Of course, the earth has always been Sasi's territory, and the powers of the three original pillar gods conflict with each other. When Nep comes here, she needs rituals and living sacrifices, and living sacrifices are often the objects she relies on, that is, the arrival of gods. The physical body used by reality.

The form Knip is currently using is that of a living sacrifice being sacrificed.

It's just that in more than three thousand years, Knapp has changed countless bodies, including men, women, old and young.

The last time I changed my physical body was decades ago.

It is still too difficult for a human body to carry the consciousness of the evil god, and Nip needs to replace himself with a new body regularly.

The process is a sacrificial ceremony.

Every sacrifice is the loss of countless lives.

Nip narrowed his eyes slightly and mentioned the fact that shocked Tan Dou.

"Of course, your ancestors' initiative to worship my statue and seek sacrifices will be rewarded. I give you magic power so that your family can continue and even use magic. In essence, it is a relationship of mutual cooperation and extremely tacit understanding. Until Your mother broke this tacit understanding. She took the initiative to swallow the prop used to summon me, this cube."

Knapp also shook the object in his hand, "What a stupid woman, thinking that you can drive me out of this world. It's really ridiculous. I am still alive in the world, but your mother has become a piece of meat with only instinctive reactions." .This is the price of blasphemy.”

"How can this be!!!"

Tan Dou was a little surprised. He turned back to look at his mother. The attitude of her being neither a human nor a ghost was really touching.

"Why? Mom would do that."

Just as Tan Dou was about to say it, he quickly realized something and suddenly remembered why he came here when he was a child.

All the clues come together at this moment.

A bold idea appeared in Tan Dou's mind.

She pointed her finger at herself and asked in a trembling voice: "Could it be that I was the chosen sacrifice at that time..."

My mother chose to sacrifice in order to protect herself...

"You are very smart."

Knapp sneered a few times, seeming to be mocking the ignorant humans.

"The ritual that was forcibly interrupted in the past will now continue. I will fuse the cube to make myself complete, and then borrow the power of the main body to allow myself to use the mythical form. Come on, sacrifice, merge with me .”

Knapp threw away all the pretense of human appearance. She slowly shed her human skin, revealing her indescribable chaotic side. She sneered, sneered, and made a sarcastic voice from her twisted wrinkled face.

At this moment, Tan Dou completely understood something.

Humanity is about to face a catastrophe.

Knapp is an evil god beyond human common sense.

The cube glowed brightly in the darkness.

The perfect fusion of light and black mist is the chaos that fills the world.

Da da da da…

An inexplicable voice sounded from an inexplicable place, suddenly near and far away, just like a messenger running from the depths of the void. He conveyed the praises of many gods. All things in the world should cheer for the arrival of the Sanyuan Pillar God.
