Miss Sister is a mysterious creature

"Ah," Bai Luoyu let out a soft cry, she had seen this man before.It was the guy who drove the Land Cruiser and asked the taxi driver to go to the W city highway intersection.At the beginning, they didn't know that this person was traveling with them, and thought that he/she was a follower of the religious order.

Hearing Bai Luoyu's exclamation, the visitor stopped in his footsteps, Mo Tong squinted, and looked at Bai Luoyu from top to bottom like a detector. He had a cool and handsome face without any fluctuations in expression.

Bai Luoyu felt nervous when he saw him, and then remembered that he was sitting in the back seat of a taxi with "Miss Sister".When this person asked for directions, he probably didn't see them.When this person saw her, his expression was indifferent, which further proved that he/she had nothing to do with the cult, so he couldn't help but feel relieved.

She thought, at this point in time, her parents should have discovered the change in the family. The "living sacrifice" in the basement was missing. Even if they sent someone to search for it, they would not find it so quickly on the train to W City.No matter what, the road ahead is not too long, as long as the "little sister" is sent to Meihui Island, he will take the nearest ordinary plane to leave.

The man stood in the middle of the aisle, looked at the vacant seat beside He Qigu, then turned his head to look at the vacant seat on the other side of the aisle, politely asked the mother and daughter for permission, and sat across from the mother and daughter.

He/she and Bai Luoyu are only separated by a narrow aisle, sitting diagonally facing each other.Bai Luoyu took a peek at this "beautiful man" with outstanding looks, and found that he was traveling lightly, with only a black briefcase with him.She thought to herself, this person got on the highway before her, maybe it was because the car drove to Wutong and the road was blocked by heavy snow, so she had to switch to the train.It's just that the huge land cruiser is parked in the remote mountain village of Wutong, will it be okay?

This person has a pair of unique phoenix eyes, with black eyebrows, black pupils, and a dull expression on his snow-white cheeks. He has an indescribable abstinence and self-discipline.At this time, he/she is supporting his/her stomach with one hand, and a Tibetan silver ring with complicated patterns on the right index finger is very conspicuous.Not only Bai Luoyu was peeking at him, even the little girl sitting opposite him was also very interested in him.

The little girl struck up a conversation in a low voice: "Little brother, you look so good-looking."

The little girl was naive and romantic, and hit a straight ball as soon as she came up.When her mother heard this, she hurriedly covered the child's mouth, and smiled apologetically at the person opposite.She knew very well that Wu Tongren was powerful, if she got the wrong gender, said the wrong words, and angered Wu Tongren, it would be bad luck.

The one called "little brother" hooked up his beautifully shaped lips, and couldn't help chuckling.With a deep and gentle voice, he said to the girl, "I'm not a little brother."

With such a smile, the stern aura covering his face disappeared like the first thaw of spring snow, and the lines of his face appeared to be a little softer. From this point of view, he really couldn't be called "little brother" anymore.

This person has a pair of beautiful inner phoenix eyes, with a sharp edge, as if he can see through the fear in the bottom of the heart.She chatted seemingly casually with the little girl's mother.In the words, the cause and effect were explained.Said that she was in a hurry to go to W City, and she encountered snow on the highway, so she had to take this train late at night.At the end of the sentence, he emphasized again that he is not from Wu Tong.

When the little girl's mother heard this, she immediately put away her vigilance, and even her sitting posture seemed to relax a lot.

Bai Luoyu saw everything in his eyes, and thought naively: Wu Tongren is really so powerful, is it so daunting?Why have I never heard of this place before? If it is so famous, it should be reported on TV.At least "Approaching Science" should do an exclusive interview.

Folk witchcraft...Meditating on this ancient term that is tainted with ignorance and barbarism in contemporary society, I am full of curiosity about Wutong.

The mother was probably too nervous at the beginning, but now she relaxes suddenly, and seeing that this person is very polite and polite, it seems that she has opened up a conversation box, and chatted cordially and warmly.

"What's the matter with you going to City W in such a hurry and in the wind and snow?"

When Bai Luoyu heard that it was exactly what he wanted to know, like a small animal, he immediately pricked up his ears and sat upright.

I just heard the man say calmly: "I'm a graduate student, and I'm going to W City to attend an academic conference."

"Oh oh oh." The woman nodded incessantly, with a look of astonishment on her face.

The middle-aged woman used her strengths in gossip and kept asking for information about the person opposite.The man didn't show obvious dislike for the woman's questioning, but answered her in a calm and decent way with concise words.Through the conversation between the two of them, Bai Luoyu learned that this person was a graduate student of religious studies at a well-known domestic university.Religion... the same as her mother Yang Ruobing.she thought.

For some reason, Bai Luoyu felt that this person's tone of voice was very strange. There was no accent, but it was slightly unnatural, as jerky and flat as the electronic voice of some kind of electronic book reader...

The middle-aged woman consciously had a good conversation with this handsome female graduate student, put her hand on the small table, covered her mouth and whispered: "Did you see anything strange when you were in Wutong?"

Although the voice was extremely low, Bai Luoyu had been listening to the conversation between the two of them, and naturally heard this sentence, and immediately lifted his spirits.

The woman stretched out her right hand, which was covered with a huge vintage ring, and touched her chin with her bony forefinger, as if thinking seriously.

After a while, the woman's deep and magnetic voice was heard, and she said, "I see it, it's just those things..."

Those things...couldn't be—that six-legged creature?

Bai Luoyu opened his eyes wide, held his breath and concentrated, wishing to put his palms on his ears to expand the listening effect.

"What, what?" The middle-aged woman couldn't hide her curiosity, and asked repeatedly.

The female graduate student smiled softly, "It's nothing special, but tonight is the dark moon, maybe it's a special day in their place. There are altars everywhere in the village, and they are holding 'pourings'."

The middle-aged woman had a confused expression, as if she didn't quite understand.The little girl beside her asked in a childish voice, "Handsome young lady, what is a rubber mat?"

There was a smile on the corner of the woman's mouth, and she patiently explained: "Pouring a libation is a kind of folk sacrificial activity. It means—to offer liquid to the gods."

"Offer the liquid to the gods." The little girl blinked curiously.

"The teacher should have said that all life comes from water. Food that gets wet with water will spoil faster. Do you know why?"

The little girl replied: "Because it will grow bacteria?"

The woman smiled: "Yes, because water can breed life, and water has magic power."

The little girl was fascinated by it as if she was listening to a fairy tale, her little head nodded frequently.

The woman continued: "Many ancient religious beliefs also offer water to the gods, but not just clear water, people have to offer better liquids to their gods. In this pouring ceremony, believers pour liquids on altars and sculptures. , on the ground. But there is no physical god to do this.”

"Like the aborigines of the Amazon, their gods have entities, and they pour the offering liquid on the gods. The pouring of offerings is a very common religious ceremony, and it is practiced all over the world. Some countries use wine, some The country uses ghee, milk, and honey. When we pay homage to our ancestors, don’t we also sprinkle white wine on the ground? It’s all the same.”

She paused, her eyes swept over Bai Luoyu's face calmly, and continued: "However, what I just said are all offering sacrifices to good gods."

Bai Luoyu had been concentrating on the female graduate student, but when she caught her gaze, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

The little girl was very interested in hearing this, and asked infatuatedly, "Sister, do gods still divide into good gods and bad gods?"

The woman said softly: "Yes, besides the orthodox religions we know like Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam, there are many pagan beliefs in the world. Orthodox religions rarely have goddess beliefs, but in folk religions, there are many sects. They all believe in goddesses. For example, the earth mother Gaia, the night queen Lilith, and the nine-pillar god Isis. There are also many mysterious religious groups that even worship evil gods, ghosts and demons.”

The little girl rolled her eyes: "The good gods are all eaten. What about the bad gods?"

"Sacrificing to the bad god..." The woman had a half-smile on her face, and her eyes shifted to Bai Luoyu again seemingly unintentionally.

He repeated word by word in his mouth: "To pay homage to a bad god, use..."

The little girl's mother suddenly reprimanded: "What do children know, don't ask about these things."

The little girl pouted, not daring to ask any more questions.

The woman smiled ambiguously and stopped talking.

The woman's words just now echoed repeatedly in Bai Luoyu's mind.

"All life comes from water... Water is magical..."

In her mind, the scene of "Miss Sister" in the sarcophagus in the basement, immersed in the water, looking at her with a pair of mysterious and deep purple pupils through the slightly rippling water light.

"Believers offer the best liquid to the gods..."

"God with substance is poured on God..."

"People use wine, ghee, and milk to worship good gods..."

"To pay homage to a bad god, use..."

There was some horrific and bloody scene, flashed back quickly, and flashed through Bai Luoyu's mind in an instant.

A shiver ran up his spine and up the back of his neck.She suddenly realized that maybe she... made a mistake...

The author has something to say: the pouring ceremony really exists~~
