Delusion Master

Human bones.

Old and gray spines, ribs... densely packed, layered upon layer, the musty smell of decay and the shocking feeling came to the face at the same time.

This is only a small area that has been illuminated. In the huge darkness behind, there are still many such remains piled up like mountains!

It took Wei Lin several seconds to recover from the shock, and sighed: "This is the human bone sacrificial pit from 200 years ago? It turns out that the entrance is right under the church..."

The white knight also frowned unbearably: "Look at these bones, some are new and some are old, they are not from the same period."

Wei Lin looked at a vertebra, nodded, and said, "Indeed, this one is very fresh, and it has been less than two years since it was boned. It seems that in the past ten years, Jia Moore and his magicians have contributed a lot to this ancient sacrificial pit." .I think the reason is definitely not simple, maybe it has something to do with the 'Awakening of the Holy Soul' that he has been thinking about."

He lifted the "Morning Star" higher, trying to see the situation further away.The white knight looked at the tunnel when he came, and said, "Farislan is gone."

Wei Lin turned his head when he heard the words, but he did not see the cold lord who was wandering behind him. "Going to find Adelaide's body? After all, I haven't seen the coffin all the way. It's strange. It's so big that it should be very conspicuous."

After he muttered a few words, he turned his attention to more important matters, and stepped into the knee-deep pile of bones, trying to move inside.

"——What are you going to do?" The white knight grabbed his wrist.

Wei Lin replied: "According to your previous description, the periphery of this sacrificial pit is the torso bone, the inner circle is the skull, and the arm bones and leg bones are below, forming the shape of a sunflower—why is it a sunflower? Is there any special meaning? And You see, the directions of these skeletons are all facing inward, I think of the very center of the 'flower plate' to see what's going on."

The white knight thought for a while, but didn't let go, and said, "I'll go with you."

The two carefully waded through the bones and walked towards the middle of the sacrificial pit. After a lot of effort, they passed through the outer "petals" and reached the "flower plate" part.

Under the white light, countless skulls stared at them with black eye sockets, which was creepy.Wei Lin bent down and picked up one of them.It had become crumbly from age, crumbled into pieces like a bad biscuit when pinched by the fingers.

Wei Lin clicked his tongue, threw away the bones and dregs, and continued to trek hard.

They walked for about two or three hundred meters, and finally saw a stone platform in the pile of skulls in front of them, on which a short column was vaguely erected, holding something like a tray.

Wei Lin picked up the "Morning Star" and looked closer, and found that what was placed on the cylinder was a solitary skull.

At first glance, it is no different from the thousands of skulls in the pit, and it is even incomplete, with a few pieces of skull missing.Wei Lin walked around the small stone platform, and motioned the white knight to look at the strange lines on the skull: "There are no brown lines on normal people's skulls, right?"

The white knight nodded: "These look like cracks, but they're not...seems to be regular."

Wei Lin picked up another cracked skull from the ground and compared the two: "It's really not a crack. And the lines seem to contain some kind of pattern."

He put down the cracked one, traced the lines of the skull on the cylinder with his fingertips, and raised his eyebrows suspiciously: "I always think it looks familiar, but I can't remember it at the moment... Strange, my memory is very good , it can be said that it is unforgettable.”

The white knight said: "Maybe you haven't seen it before, don't force yourself to think about it."

"No, I must have seen something similar somewhere..." Wei Lin suddenly patted the Book of Imprisonment in his cloak, and said sharply, "Don't disturb my thinking, if you don't want to eat daggers again! "

Immediately, his expression calmed down, and he said: "I remember. I killed several warlocks who held the spirit sacrifice ceremony, and found a grained bone fragment from one of them, and found that it has the power to restrain evil spirits." .” He gestured the size and shape of the bone fragment with his hand, and it seemed to be the parietal bone in the skull. "Farislan is very afraid of it. When he attacked me in the cemetery before, he threw it out - I asked you later, have you ever seen a bone fragment with lines, remember?"

The white knight thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "That's right. You mean, that bone fragment is the missing part of this skull?"

Wei Lin continued to draw inferences: "There is also Jia Moore, who also said before he asked me to get the Book of Imprisonment, 'It is still a little bit reluctant to trap the spirit with just those few bones'. It can be seen that the missing pieces here The skull is in the hands of the warlocks. They are used to strengthen the control of the sacrifice spirit. Now the question is-whose skull is this? Why is it specially placed in the center of the sacrifice pit? What is the use?"

The white knight thought for a moment, and was about to answer when Farislan's cold and hoarse voice came from a distance like a winter wind: "That's Adelaide's skull."

Wei Lin turned his head to look at the dark place that the Holy Light could not reach: "The one you cut off? Why is it placed here?"

"Burn it to ashes and grind it to powder." Farislan said, "You promised to help me destroy Adelaide's body, including this head, of course."

"You haven't answered my question yet." Wei Lin insisted.

"—Destroy it!" Farislan raised his voice, with a little anxiety and hidden anger.

Wei Lin felt a little vigilant and playful, and said with a smile, "I know you are eager to lift the curse, but you have to find out the situation first, so as not to make any mistakes unintentionally."

The wind suddenly rose, and Farislan's angry voice was mixed in: "You want to repent, don't you? You didn't intend to destroy her in the first place! Contract—sanction!"

A red light expanded into the pattern of half a rune, like a flame igniting the darkness, and shot towards Wei Lin.Farislan applied for "sanction" to the transaction contract printed on his fingertips.

Wei Lin held down the white knight's sword-drawn hand, and said in a low voice, "It's okay."

He stretched out his fingertip with the other half of the rune printed on it, and touched the flying red light. The two of them went dark as soon as they touched in the air, and the flame went out in the deep sea again.

"The 'sanction' is invalid, which proves that I did not intend to break the contract. Now you should believe it?" Wei Lin raised his voice.

Farislan snorted coldly: "Then what are you still dawdling about!"

Wei Lin ignored him, and instead asked the white knight, "What do you think we should do next?"

The white knight replied calmly: "I was thinking, why Gamol hasn't shown up until now. He deliberately opened the entrance of the sacrificial pit and led us in for investigation. Is it just to show us Adelaide's skull? I smell the smell of setups and tricks."

Wei Lin nodded in agreement: "But at this point, we have only two choices, destroy this skull, or take it away. Of course, we can leave it alone, but I can guarantee that Farislan will fight us to the death. Big fight."

"——I will kill you." The cold lord in the dark said grimly and firmly.

Wei Lin spread his hands: "Look, we have no other choice."

He drew his dagger and struck at the broken skull—it was much stronger than it looked, clanging as it struck metal.So Wei Lin took out the piece of cloth that was originally used to wrap the book, spread it on the stone platform, and carefully pushed the skull through the short cylinder.

At the moment when the skull was displaced, the column seemed to have lost its suppression, and suddenly rose more than ten meters upwards, piercing the soil above it like a long spear.

The entire sacrificial pit roared, and tens of thousands of skulls opened their exposed teeth and jaws, making sharp and mournful calls—maybe it wasn't them who called out, but some kind of depression and despair hidden in the dark and long time. From this opportunity, it burst out all at once.

The ground shook, more violently than when the church collapsed before, and the soil and debris fell like a torrential rain, spilling the two people's heads and bodies.

Wei Lin wrapped the cloth, held Adelaide's skull in one hand, and grabbed the white knight's wrist with the other: "Go!"

Holding him tightly, the white knight ran wildly in the direction he had come, and the metal boots mercilessly crushed the bones that blocked him along the way.

Some slender, gray root-like things stuck down from the top of the sacrificial pit together with clods of rain-like soil.Each one is only as thick as a finger, but twisted into clumps, and the number is increasing, like a hooked iron chain deeply pierced into the pile of bones.Wei Lin's shoulder was rubbed by one of the roots, and immediately his skin was ripped apart and blood gushed out.

That blood-stained root, as if a very hungry person suddenly touched the spring water, eagerly twisted in mid-air, and shot towards Wei Lin like an arrow with the strength to pierce the rock.

The white knight's long sword was unsheathed, and he quickly cut off the root of the surprise attack.

But more roots nearby smelled the smell of fresh blood, and twisted towards them.The roots in the distance, which obviously couldn't reach them, also stretched frantically, and swayed unwillingly in the wind like spider silk.

The white knight stood behind Wei Lin and released a round of "Holy Light Storm".But these roots didn't seem to be particularly afraid of the power of the holy light, they swayed tenaciously in the whirlwind, and chased after the wind stopped.He cut them off with a sword, and shouted: "...these are not dark creatures, but the roots of sunflowers! It should be the flower field above!"

Wei Lin greeted loudly: "Farislan! If you don't make a move, I will throw this head back into the sacrificial pit!"

The cold lord, who was watching from the sidelines, hesitated for a while, but finally left.A blizzard of snow swept across the entire sacrificial pit, freezing countless tentacles-like roots into long ice hangings.

Wei Lin used his dagger to cut off the ice hanging in front of him and opened up a passage.The cranium under their feet has become the torso bone, and they have now reached the position of the "petals", and they will soon be able to leave this huge sacrificial pit.

At this time, an old and slow voice echoed in the dark underground: "Do you really think you can leave here?"

"Gamor!" growled Farislan, "and the smell of that corpse—she's in your hands!" He rushed to the edge of the pit.

Along the edge of the sacrificial pit, the light of the magic circle soared into the sky, interweaving into a dark green net wall.If this is not in the ground but in the open air, looking down from a high altitude, you can see the clear shape of the sunflower outlined by the green light.The blizzard hitting the net wall only caused the light to falter for a moment before returning to its original state like a wave of water.

"You have been caught by me, like a nest of rabbits with nowhere to escape with traps and nets." The Destruction Warlock stood by the edge of the sacrificial pit and said unhurriedly.The green light of the magic circle illuminated his robe and the corpse of a headless girl standing upright beside him.

And at intervals, there was a black-robed warlock standing on the edge of the sacrificial pit, casting spells to maintain the operation of the magic circle.

Gamol pointed with his wand, and Adelaide's skull twitched in the package that Wei Lin was carrying, and then exploded the fabric, flying towards him.

The skull pierced through the net wall and landed in Gamol's hands. He looked at it carefully like inspecting a treasure.Behind him was a black-robed sorcerer who held a bone fragment in his hand and bowed respectfully.

Gamol put together the textured occipital bone and sphenoid bone one by one, and the seams fit perfectly, and finally a piece of left parietal bone was missing.

He cast a heavy glance at the warlock, and there was not much blame on his aging face, but it made the latter sweat profusely, almost lowering his head into the dust.

The six warlocks who carried the parietal bone and performed the sacrifice ceremony died in Wei Lin's hands.Jia Moore originally thought that it would be fine to let the bone fragments be temporarily placed on Wei Lin's body in order not to scare the snakes. Anyway, everyone will be in his pocket in the end.But unexpectedly, this piece of parietal bone was lost in the cemetery and could not be found no matter what.

It was like a corner missing from a perfect vase, which made him unbearable.

But the matter has come to this point, and he can only ignore the flaws that do not have much impact on the overall situation.

He rubbed the skull a few times for the last time, and placed it squarely on the empty neck of the white-robed girl.

Green light flickered on the skull, and periosteum, muscle, skin, and hair began to grow.After the long blond curly hair fell down, the girl stood there with a straight face, slim and charming, not at all like a corpse that had been dead for 200 years.

Adelaide slowly opened his eyes, inside was a dark silence, a barren void, and nothing else.

"Witch Corpse Puppet." The white knight stood beside Wei Lin, holding his wrist, and said in a deep voice, "We all guessed wrong before, this is the holy soul 'container' prepared by Jia Moore."

Adelaide moved his blunt steps and walked slowly into the sacrificial pit.

Gamol stretched out his dead branch-like fingers, pointing to everyone in the field one by one:

"Container." - Adelaide.

"Sacrifice to the spirit." - Farisland.

"Sacrifice." - White Knight.

"And... the breeder." He finally pointed to Wei Lin, showing the long-awaited secretive smile.
