Welcome to Bloodline Unicom [Entertainment Circle]

Just after a round of weightlessness, Lin Yuzhen's complexion was not much better. He turned his eyes away from the dark green forest in front of him, and turned around to see the center of the four paintings: Wright Square.

One after another, people dragged their heavy steps and gathered here from all directions. There was neither conversation nor breathing in the huge square, and the atmosphere was so solemn that it made one's heart palpitate.Countless townspeople walked past the two of them, with pale lips and out-of-focus eyes, as if they could not feel their presence at all.

Lin Yuzhen nodded lightly to Du Fei, leaning his index finger on his lips, signaling him to keep quiet and keep calm.

Among the crowd, the tall blacksmith brothers Boll and Karl were particularly conspicuous. They followed the crowd and walked quietly to the center of the square.Their faces were ashen and emaciated like most of the townspeople, and their bodies were filled with fear and shrinking, but they had no choice but to go there as agreed.

At the end of the crowd, Lin Yuzhen also found the young tavern owner—Parker Keith. Compared with the photos, his facial features were not much different, except that his hair and beard had not yet turned gray.He reluctantly walked at the end, clutching his trouser waist with his right hand. Judging from the slightly bulging shape of his clothes, it seemed that there was a pistol/gun hidden there.

The townspeople gradually stood still in the central area of ​​the square. Du Fei and Lin Yuzhen exchanged glances, followed them to the sacrificial ceremony at the end of the line.

In the center of the square right now, there is neither the huge mirror seen from outside the screen nor the silhouette of a wizard wearing a pointed hat. Du Fei looked around, trying to find his trace in the crowd according to the appearance of Norman's statue in his memory.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the air was so stagnant that it was suffocating.After an unknown amount of time, a light and rhythmic sound of tuk-tuk came from the woods, tapping the ground closer and closer.

The wide brim of the black peaked hat covered most of the visitor's face. Aiden held a wooden staff and wore a wizard's robe. He walked slowly towards the square step by step with even steps.

The distance from the woods to the center of the square was not short, but he still walked very reservedly. The rustling sound of the hem of his robe brushing against the grass and the slight sound of the wooden stick hitting the ground slowed down the nerves of everyone present.

Du Fei almost couldn't help turning his head to look at it. Lin Yuzhen at the side seemed to feel something, moved his fingers slightly, and squeezed his wrist without a trace, forcing the impulse back.

After as long as a century, finally, Aiden finally walked onto the stone platform in the center of the square, and gently raised and lowered his hand holding the wooden staff on the edge of the stone platform, knocking out a series of continuous rhythmic sounds, followed by There was a rumbling sound, the ground trembled slightly, and a round stone mirror rose from the platform, shining dazzlingly in the sunlight.

The townspeople closed their eyes and lowered their heads even lower.

Aiden stood on the high platform and looked down at them in silence. After a while, he seemed to smile slightly, slowly raised his cane, and lightly touched it on the mirror, his lips opened and closed silently, and muttered something.The townspeople then clasped their hands together and placed them on their foreheads, as if mourning or silently praying.

The whole process lasted about ten seconds, and the mirror reflecting the sunlight gradually dimmed. At a certain moment, a blurry portrait appeared. As Aiden's recitation speed increased, a bust of a young man floated on it.

Parker Case at the end of the line was the first to raise his head and suddenly opened his eyes. After that, more and more townspeople opened their eyes tremblingly, and slowly opened their eyelids to look at the round mirror.

The young man in the mirror had a sickly pale face, a thin body, and sporadic stains on his well-worn coat. This appearance was unremarkable among the crowd.

The frozen air began to flow again at this moment.

"This year it's him..."

"I thought it was the black blood man again this year, but I didn't expect Norman to be chosen."

"Oh, the wandering painter who just came to town a while ago?"

"It's so pitiful. I remembered. I asked him to paint a portrait of my son a while ago. I paid so much money, but I didn't know what it was. Look, this is the end of black-hearted money."

Once the sacrificial offering was determined, the oppressive atmosphere in the square disintegrated instantly. Amidst the whispered discussions, a strong and trembling voice passed through the crowd and reached the stone platform: "Why?!"

Lin Yuzhen and Du Fei followed the prestige and saw the thin and pale young man.The surrounding townspeople backed away two steps, and a blank space appeared beside him, with pity or sympathy in their eyes, as if they were somewhat inhumanly fortunate.

The wizard Aiden stood by the stone platform, turned his head indifferently when he heard the sound, and replied, "There is no reason."

The young man clenched his hands into fists, stunned and indignant: "I'm not from Wright Town, I only stay here for a while...Why are you?"

"Here, naturally we must abide by the rules here," Aiden stared at him indifferently, "this is God's will."

"God's will?" The young man sneered, "What kind of God's will is this? I think some people have ulterior motives, pretending to be ghosts?"

"Oh...you think it was a mistake to show you in the mirror," Aiden dragged out his tone, and said in an old voice slowly, "Then according to what you mean, you need to choose a sacrifice again."

There was a commotion in the crowd, and Parker Keith protested loudly: "Is it possible to change the sacrifice?"

Aiden raised a skinny palm and slowly pressed it down, signaling the townspeople to keep quiet, and then turned his gaze to Norman again.

"Child," his voice was calm and calm, as if reciting a plain eulogy, "you have to believe that this is a glorious and immortal destiny, Wright Town will remember your dedication, Your name will be etched into an unfallible monument, forever..."

He paused when he said this, and the mirror suddenly began to vibrate violently, with circular ripples rippling away from the center, and even the portrait in the mirror was like ripples on the surface of a lake. The townspeople backed away in amazement. Both eyes stared at the mirror surface with fear.

Aiden said in a deep voice, "It's a sign of the Earl's anger."

Norman originally retreated with the crowd, but after Aiden said that, he suddenly fell forward involuntarily.

As if being pulled by an invisible hand, he staggered and ran towards the stone platform uncontrollably.

"Let me go!" Norman yelled loudly, the constant kicking and struggling failed to slow down the speed a bit, but gradually increased the speed, which looked weird and funny.

The wizard Aiden has been standing on the edge of the stone platform, watching this scene quietly, neither sad nor happy.

Unstoppable, Norman was dragged to the stone platform by that invisible force, and gradually sank into the mirror with a look of fear and resentment intertwined with his weaker and weaker cries.The image in the mirror disappeared, replaced by a thick blood color, and the fluctuation and trembling gradually subsided.

Aiden stood on the spot leaning on his cane, and an emotionless voice sounded: "The ritual is complete."

The townspeople stood there in silence for a moment, then turned their heads and left as silently as when they came.

Lin Yuzhen and Du Fei silently merged into the crowd, then left the square, circled a small half circle in the woods, and quietly sneaked back behind the stone platform where only Aiden was left alone.

Aiden was still standing there, rubbing his thumb back and forth on the handle of the wooden staff unconsciously. Although his figure did not move, there was a kind of impatience that came from nowhere.

He glanced at the mirror that was still covered in blood from the corner of his eye, and tapped the ground with his cane impatiently.

After about three to five minutes, Parker Case also turned back to Wright Square, walked straight to the stone platform, first bowed down respectfully and saluted the wizard, and then said with a bit of trepidation, "Sorry, we... what None were found."

"What?" Aiden said angrily, "Say it again?"

Parker Keith glanced up at him with some fear, and repeated bravely: "We searched every corner of his temporary residence, but we couldn't find... find that thing... Will he, will he take it with him?" Is it on you?"

Aiden unconsciously glanced at the still red mirror, and waved his hand irritably, telling him to get out of here.As soon as Parker Case was out of sight, he began to pace anxiously up and down by the mirror, the sound of his cane hitting the ground fast and muffled.

Du Fei stuck behind the stone platform, staring at Aiden's every move, but from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Lin Yuzhen looking in a direction different from his own, turned around subconsciously, and found that what he was looking at was the round mirror. On the back: "...what are you looking at?"

His voice was very low, almost breathless, and the sound of hitting the stone platform with his cane was enough to cover up the question.

The material on the back of the round mirror is some kind of dark gray stone with decorative patterns carved on it, and there has been no suspicious change in the past few minutes.

Lin Yuzhen stretched out his left hand, and somehow a mask appeared in his palm. He tapped the dark silver lines on it with his fingertips, signaling Du Fei to look at the back of the round mirror again.

After such a comparison, Du Fei couldn't help being surprised, the pattern on the back of the mirror was exactly the same as that on the mask!

Du Fei took a deep breath, but he didn't finish his breath when he suddenly felt the light above his head go dark, and subconsciously looked up.

It doesn't matter if you hope, your heart instantly reaches your throat——

The wizard Aiden stepped on the edge of the stone platform directly above them, with a gloomy face lowered to face the two of them, and almost at the same time they raised their faces, the wooden staff in their hands was raised high, splitting the wind towards them fiercely. Smash it down!

Rolling on the ground almost in a state of embarrassment, the cane kicked up a piece of turf by his side, splashing sporadic mud on their faces.

Not caring about raising his hand to wipe it off, Du Fei got up and ran as fast as he could.

The target of Aiden's attack was very clear. Between Lin Yuzhen and Du Fei, he chose the latter without hesitation, and chased after him with his cane.

Du Fei took out the ink gun in a hurry, and fired a shot backwards, but he couldn't even delay for a few seconds, and was easily dodged by Aiden. Seeing him getting closer and closer, he couldn't help but collapsed. Called: "What the hell! Why are you only chasing me?!"

"Don't shout!" Lin Yuzhen suppressed his voice to stop him, "You want to attract everyone?"

The wizard who was chasing Du Fei around the stone platform suddenly changed direction, turned around and rushed towards Lin Yuzhen who was behind him.

Du Fei noticed that the pursuers behind him suddenly disappeared, and turned his head to look. Aiden's cane was only a few centimeters away from hitting Lin Yuzhen's neck. He dragged away, but Lin Yuzhen did not retreat but moved forward. He raised his left arm to protect his head and neck, and almost knocked the cane away from the middle. Pierce deep into Aiden's heart.

There was no blood, no sound of a sharp weapon cutting through flesh and blood, only the rough friction sound of a knife cutting through paper products.

After only a pause, Aiden raised his cane again and attacked Lin Yuzhen more fiercely.

Du Fei said behind him: "Hello!"

As if someone had suddenly pressed the pause button, Aiden's movements visibly paused for a moment, then turned around again, and the target of the attack was changed to Du Fei again.

However, at the second he just stepped forward, there was a crisp sound of something being unscrewed behind him. Before he could make another choice, a bottle of mineral water came down from his head and covered him from head to toe. Drenched it.

……

In an instant, Aiden was like a pool of ooze that lost its support, deforming and collapsing from the head, and the colors washed by the water were mixed together, falling from his body to the ground, melting into the soil under his feet, until In the end, it completely turned into a ball of paper with no shape.

Lin Yuzhen took a breath, leaned over and picked up the cane that had fallen aside.

Seeing his left arm hanging down by his side, Du Fei unconsciously trembled slightly, knowing that the blow just now was really heavy, so he stepped forward to check his injury: "Are you all right?"

Lin Yuzhen shook her head lightly, pushed away Du Fei's hand, and said, "Let's find a way to get out quickly."

Du Fei propped himself up on the stone platform and looked around. The low, thick green trees could not be seen at a glance. The road to break through the border was obviously not feasible. What's more, the fight with Aiden just now made a lot of noise. I found that as far as I could see, many townspeople opened the doors of their houses, and came here one after another with long sticks, knives and axes in their hands.

He patted the still blood-red mirror hard, and it felt cold and solid to the touch.

The surrounding townspeople moved towards the square unabated. With a strong sense of urgency, a thin layer of sweat formed on Du Fei's forehead. He cast a glance at Lin Yuzhen beside him, confirming to him that the two are thinking the same. : The key node of going out is the core part of the whole picture, and it is also the trigger point for the two people to be pulled into the picture frame.

The round mirror in front of them is the key to their departure.

But how to deal with this mirror that cannot be broken even with borrowed tools?

Seeing dozens of townspeople with weapons getting closer and closer, the only item in hand that can deal with them is only one bottle, and the communication in the team has completely lost signal...

Du Fei gritted his teeth secretly, are they really going to be trapped here to die on the eve of the dance?
