The days of being frantically pursued by the boss of the horror world
Chapter 73 The Mystery of the Ceremony
When Yu Jin appeared on the ruins of the thatched hut early the next morning, the villagers present no longer believed that he was human.
They watched him in the house before lighting the fire.Even if he used some methods to escape from the fire house, he would never be unscathed.And now he even looks refreshed, his skin is moist and shiny, his eyes are dark and bright, and his complexion is much better than when he first came to the village.
The villagers whispered, and some people had already clenched their farm tools, but Yu Jin glanced at them indifferently, froze, and put them down silently.
The day's ceremonies started later, and the villagers took a long time to hold their assembly.
A group of villagers strongly demanded to stop the ceremony and send Yu Jin away.But the sorceress still believes that this is the will of the gods and a turning point in the development of the village. If the sacrifice is stopped midway, the gods will be offended.
They finally summoned the real gods.
A group of people broke up, and some young villagers chose to leave their hometown to avoid this sacrifice.Most of them already intend to work outside the home, and only return to their hometowns for important festivals.
Among this group of people, Yu Jin saw a somewhat familiar figure, which was the image of Ding He's father in the previous worlds.
It looks like he escaped a disaster this time.
Yu Cheng walked around Yu Jin's room restlessly: "I think what they mean is that they don't want to perform sacrifices anymore, and I wonder if there is a chance to send you back."
Yu Jin took a sip of tea: "They don't want to complete the sacrifice?"
Yu Cheng shook his head: "The people in the village still believe in this, most of them are the elderly, and the young people are just having fun. Besides, there is nothing more important than your own life."
"I thought they would choose to kill me. After all, the ritual is meant to be a funeral."
Yu Cheng opened his eyes wide: "What did you see two days ago, why did you say that?"
"It's better not to know." Yu Jin looked at the sky outside the window, "They came so late today? They didn't bring any clothes."
"They...are afraid of you."
Yu Jin straightened his clothes: "Okay, I'll go find them."
"You are really rushing to jump into the fire pit." Although Yu Cheng was worried, he just shook his head. He knew that he was not qualified to judge Yu Jin's choice, so he could only advise him to be more careful.
Although the villagers dare not do anything to him on the surface, it doesn't mean they won't do anything secretly.
Seeing that he was truly worried about himself, Yu Jin kindly reminded: "You should leave early too. At least before the last day of the ceremony, leave this village, go anywhere, as long as you leave here."
Yu Cheng felt faintly uneasy: "What do you know?"
Yu Jin smiled but said nothing, Yu Cheng gritted his teeth: "OK, then I will accompany you until the last day." Yu Jin was bought by his family, so he had to be loyal.
Yu Jin was about to go to the ancestral hall, but bumped into the sorceress walking towards her.This time there were fewer people following her, but the sorceress' demeanor was still serene.
The sorceress stopped him with a smile, took him back to the house, and asked someone to bring in the clothes.
As soon as Yu Jin received the clothes, she felt something was wrong.Although he needs to bathe with spices in the past, his clothes are clean and have no peculiar smell, but today's clothes smell like spices.
Yu Jin sniffed lightly, and felt that the fragrance was very weak, not like it was smoked on purpose.
Intuitively, he felt that the aroma was familiar, so he pushed the clothes aside and asked her the reason for the incense.
The sorceress chanted a spell in dialect, and showed him the clothes, as if telling him that the clothes were finely crafted and there was no problem at all.
Yu Jin said calmly: "You first explain clearly, what kind of incense is this?"
He was just curious at first, but the attitude of the sorceress made him doubt the effect of the fragrance.
The sorceress could only put down her clothes and raise her hands with a smile.Yu Jin thought she was going to pat her on the shoulder and grabbed her wrist politely, but she opened her palm to reveal a sachet.
The mouth of the sachet was originally tightly held by her, but now it is fully opened, and the rich aroma pours into Yu Jin's nostrils.
The familiar smell made him react quickly, slapped her hand away, and threw the sachet far away.
The sachet rolled down in the distance, but the aroma in the house did not weaken, and still lingered in his nose.
He couldn't hold it anymore and passed out again.
Just now the fragrance on the clothes was too weak, he didn't realize it for a while, but now he has realized that this is the material that the sorceress used to kidnap him back then, it can make people fall into a coma quickly.
The fragrance on the clothes was contaminated because it was put together with the sachet on the witch's body.
It's a pity that although he guessed it, he was still a step late.
The witch's smile remained unchanged, she put away the sachet, picked up the clothes and changed them for Yu Jin.
Although she was in the same room as Yu Jin, she was not affected by the spices at all, and her eyes were cloudy due to old age, revealing the unique cunning of young people.
Yu Jin didn't know how long he had been in a coma, he only felt that someone pinched his waist in a haze, and he opened his eyes in pain.
Before Ding He could retract his hand, he saw that there seemed to be anger in his eyes, and he hurriedly changed the pinching motion into stroking: "Are you awake?"
The effect of the medicine on Yu Jin's body has not completely passed, and his voice is weak: "What are you doing?"
Ding He's hand lingered along the line of his waist: "I have been in a coma for a long time, and I want to wake you up."
Yu Jin grabbed his hand and frowned: "Then why did you pinch me?"
Yu Jin lifted his clothes and took a look, there was a bruise on his fair skin.Ding He didn't expect to hit too hard just now, so he helped him rub the pinched place with distress: "It's my fault, I... couldn't hold it back for a while."
The white and slender waist was like a piece of moist jade, so he couldn't help but pinch it to see if any water seeped out.
It doesn't feel right to rub it.Yu Jin pushed his hand away in embarrassment, wiped off the water on his face, and looked up at the ceiling.
A drop of water just landed on his cheek, and it slid down as he lowered his head.
He looked around and found that he was in a small room with no doors or windows in sight.
Water dripped from the ceiling and dripped around him like it was raining.
A lot of water has accumulated on the ground, about one centimeter deep.His body and face were also wet with water, and his clothes clinged tightly to his body.
Ding He's body was clean and refreshed, without any water.
Wet hair clung to his forehead, half covering his eyes.Ding He helped him push his hair aside, and saw a pair of wet eyes that seemed to drip ink.
Yu Jin looked at his clothes and frowned: "My clothes have been changed."
Before he passed out, he was clearly wearing the same clothes as the day before, but now they are the same day.
That is to say, the witch changed his clothes while he was unconscious.
The clothes were close-fitting, and Yu Jin's expression sank involuntarily when he thought that someone had touched his body without his knowledge.
Ding He's eyes became subtle, and his hands were already on his neckline: "Take it off and wear mine."
Yu Jin knew what he was thinking, and patted his hand away: "No need, I just feel a little uncomfortable."
He felt that the most urgent task was to observe how to get out of this room.
He first dried the water on his clothes and stood up.The ceiling was so low that he could almost touch it when he stood up.
He touched the seam between the ceiling and the wall, and found that it was not so much a room as a large box.The edge of the box was buckled with thick chains, and it was cold after soaking in water.
The villagers learned smart this time, knowing that ordinary ropes could not trap him, so they changed to iron chains.
Yu Jin catches the dripping water with his hands: "The water can't drain out by itself."
If he had been unconscious due to the effects of the drug, it was very likely that he would drown in the room without knowing it.
He didn't know if this was a routine used in the village or if it was aimed at him.
If the villagers have no conscience, it is very likely that this is not ordinary water.
Soon, his clothes got wet again. After a long time, he didn't bother to take care of it, so he let his body get wetter and wetter.
Chains can be cut with a knife.He called out his own knife and slashed at the gap between the box cover and the box wall.
In the blink of an eye, the iron chain broke into two pieces with a "clang" sound.
He pushed the lid of the top box with the scabbard, and sure enough it was covered with something.But the thing wasn't heavy, and it slid sideways under his movement.
Yu Jin showed doubts on his face, and finally pushed upwards hard, and the lid of the box opened outwards, making a loud noise.
The ceiling of the secret room was exposed.
Outside the box, there is another room.
But the box is actually very high, Yu Jin stood up, but his head could not touch the top of the box.So his problem now is not how to open the box, but how to get out of the box.
He walked around the box and pulled Ding He up: "Can we turn the box over?"
Use the weight of your body to tilt the box to one side, so that the original top becomes the side.
"Probably not." Ding He said, "The bottom of the box is welded to the floor of the room."
Yu Jin began to meditate.In fact, he still has one prop, which he has never used.
Light Arrow of the Paladin.It originally existed as a long-range weapon, but because he hasn't encountered many scenes that require combat recently, he put it aside.
But now those arrows could come in handy.Shoot an arrow into a wall and use it as a ladder to step on.
He looked at Yu Jin's thoughtful expression, and suddenly hugged him: "Actually, if you want to go out, I'll just hug you."
Yu Jin's body suddenly flew into the air, and he grabbed the wall reflexively.
Ding He lifted his body up, and his voice was steady and relaxed: "You can sit on the wall first, and then turn over."
Yu Jin stepped on his shoulder, sat on the wall, crossed his legs, and jumped down.
When he jumped down, a gust of wind gently supported his body, allowing him to land smoothly.
He supported the box to the ground, and when he looked up, he saw Ding He standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile.
"I don't think this is a violation."
He still remembered what Yu Jin told him not to interfere.
Yu Jin dried the water on his clothes before leaning over and giving him a kiss: "It doesn't count."
Ding He asked for a reward before letting him go.
Yu Jin looked at the room in front of him again.This room seemed to be the secret room from the first day, except that a huge metal box was fixed in the center.Beside the box was a puddle of water and a piece of unmelted ice.
The drops he felt were melting ice.
No wonder he felt the water was extraordinarily cold.
This room has a door.On the first night, Yu Jin didn't waste time destroying the gate, but this time he wasn't sure if anyone would come to see him the next day, so he could only destroy the stone gate overnight.
Some people are in awe of power, and some are afraid of power.
Some people choose to escape, and some people choose to kill the unknown power in their infancy.
The remaining villagers either believed in the "miracle" like the sorceress, or they had the idea of preempting the attack.
Ding He stopped him after he destroyed the door for a while, clutching Yu Jin's reddened palm: "Let's rest first."
Yu Jin looked at the mark on his palm, and silently gave up his efforts.
Even after such a long time, he is still used to magic rather than this purely physical method of destruction.
He was going to rest for a while before starting work again, but someone came and opened the door and looked at him in surprise.
Ding He had disappeared before they appeared, and all they could see was Yu Jin who opened the box by himself and tried to destroy the gate.
The sorceress slowly walked out from behind the crowd and said something in satisfaction.
The villagers didn't dare to say much, they could only watch her pick up Yu Jin.
Yu Jin didn't notice before, but after what happened the day before, he felt that the witch's body seemed to have a faint fragrance all the time, and he didn't know if it was his illusion.
When Yu Cheng saw him come back, he was relieved again: "You're back! When the sorceress got you out yesterday, I was scared to death."
Yu Jin asked: "How was I sent there yesterday?"
"I don't know the specifics. I only know that after you entered the house with the witch, the witch helped you out of a coma. I thought... I thought you would never wake up again."
Yu Jin seemed unintentional: "The witch is in good health."
Yu Cheng was stunned for a moment: "Witch, it's probably a little different."
Yu Jin rested at home for a long time, and in the evening, he waited until the witch came to pick him up and go to the sacrificial place.
This time he refused the witch to follow into the house, put on his own clothes, and kept a certain distance from the witch, lest she faint him again and lose his ability to judge.
The object of the sacrifice on the fifth day is the mountain forest.The village is in the middle of the mountain, surrounded by forests.The sorceress took Yu Jin into the woods and told him to keep going.
The forest seemed to have no end, Yu Jin kept walking forward, but he didn't know where exactly the place she was pointing at was.
This can only show that the entire mountain forest is a place for worship.
They watched him in the house before lighting the fire.Even if he used some methods to escape from the fire house, he would never be unscathed.And now he even looks refreshed, his skin is moist and shiny, his eyes are dark and bright, and his complexion is much better than when he first came to the village.
