Chapter 433: Evil God Ritual - Boathouse

Waves rise and fall, whispers tremble.

Cang Tai's voice became more and more thin, as if she was afraid of the Bai six in this story and did not dare to speak loudly behind Bai Liu: "...... They said that the teachers at the orphanage threw a big tantrum after they could not find Xie Ta, but no one dared to say that you killed Xie Ta, because they were afraid you would kill them too."

"And ...... as much as they're scared of you, they're also scared of Xie Ta, and they think it's the stronger you that remains after you two monster-like kids wrestled, so they're even more afraid to mess with you."

"Some time after Xie Ta's death, the orphanage where you were staying, I don't know what happened, but the investors didn't want to continue investing, almost all of them withdrew, so the orphanage declined and the children disappeared one by one, not knowing whether they ran away on their own or ...... "

"Eventually the orphanage closed down, and the rest of you who hadn't been in trouble were sent to this ship by the director of the orphanage in the name of charity, saying that the overseas orphanage would take over you."

"Sending?" Bai Liu asked back in a calm tone, "It's trafficking, isn't it?"

Aota sighed, "Sending is always better, but overall it's pretty much the same, you're not going to some overseas orphanage, but like me, you're being trafficked to a small seaside town called Luming County."

"It's not your country anymore, it's always been poor, there's no such thing as an orphanage, you've probably been bought there to do hard labour."

"We weren't bought to do hard labour." A girl's voice, somewhat tender and trembling, suddenly came from the lower bunk, "We were bought as sacrifices."

Cthulhu was stunned, he moved forward with great effort and tried to look down: "You are ......"

"My name is Xiaokui." A slim, clean-cut girl, about eleven or twelve years old, raised her face from the bunk to look at them, her face was pale and she looked dismayed, "I'm from Luming County."

Aota's face was confused, "Then how did you end up on this boat with us?"

"I escaped from Luming County as a sacrifice, but I was taken back." Xiaokui looked ashen and sounded desperate. Xiaokui looked ashen and sounded desperate, "This time I was taken back, I don't know when I'll get another chance to escape, I'm going crazy with torture."

Bai Liu asks, "Is Luming County poor?"

--It wasn't quite like what he had seen before.

Even the abandoned boat houses along the coast were well restored, not like a poor county that needs to take people to work as labourers.

Xiaokui shakes her head as she whispers in a daze, " Luming County was poor before, but now it's not poor at all."

"Only since the shrine in Luming County started to worship the evil gods three years ago, they started to get richer and richer and richer and richer, and when I escaped, they were even dressing the sacrifices in silk."

Mrs. Cang was shocked: "Silk clothes and trousers? Are they treating the hard labourers who bought them there so well?"

"I told you it wasn't hard work ......" Xiaokui's voice became a little feeble, "it was a sacrifice."

Bai Liu pondered; "What happened three years ago and why did Luming County suddenly start worshipping evil gods?"

"I don't know exactly." Xiaokui struggled halfway upwards to look at Bai Liu, who slept in the bunk above him, "I heard from my mother that it all started when fishermen out on a salvage trip brought up the body of a young man."

"The corpse, though a man's, was very beautiful in appearance, with silver curls coiled in front of it, long, graceful arms and legs, wearing loose outer clothing, and not breathing like a dead man, but rather like a siren."

"My mother went to see the body too, and she said she had never seen such a good-looking man."

"And then what?" Bai Liu asked, "What did you do with the body? Did you bury him?"

Xiaokui shook his head in confusion, "No, all the adults at the time disapproved of burying the body, and I was Buming white what was the point of keeping it out there, but my dad said that kind of look ......"

Bai Liu's tone was calm: "Even if it's just a corpse, it feels like you can squeeze other values out of it, right?"

Xiaokui let out a hint and continued, "The governor thought it was a good business opportunity, he suggested that the abandoned hotel in the county could be renovated and turned into a museum or something, then make a wax figure or sculpture of it and put it in the museum for public exhibition, and at the same time use the catching of the siren as a name to promote Luming County, to see if we could use This could be used as a promotional point to attract tourists and make money for everyone."

"As soon as the proposal was put forward, it was unanimously approved and everyone was grateful to the governor for coming up with such a good idea, saying that if the museum is repaired, a personal statue of the governor must be erected in front of the museum in recognition."

...... A poor, backward seaside town that has been fishing for generations caught an amazing-looking "siren" by chance, so the local mayor and governor were inspired to suggest that the "siren" could be made into a wax statue or sculpture and put in a museum to attract tourists and develop the town's economy. The local mayor and governor were inspired to make a wax figure or sculpture of this "siren" and put it in a museum, and use it as a selling point to attract tourists and develop the town's economy ......

Apart from the location, the direction and development of this is a complete rip-off of Siren's Town, right down to the fact that there is a statue of the mayor and prefect in front of the museum.

But in the case of Bai Liu's previous festival, Luming County somehow did not go down this route.

Or, to be more precise, the initial version of Siren Small Town would have been this 'Evil Ritual - Boathouse'.

So the first copy of the game Bai Liu was supposed to encounter in this worldline was supposed to be this one, The Evil God Ritual - The Boathouse, but for some reason, at the last minute, Bai Liu switched the copy he landed on, allowing the simpler, more distant Siren Town to land in Bai Liu's worldline.

It was only now, well into the playoffs, that Bai six was able to place a copy of The Evil Sacrifice - Boathouse on him.

Bai Liu looks sideways, down at Xiaokui in the bunk: "You didn't end up doing that, did you?"

"How do you know?" Xiaokui tilted her head a little in surprise, "It was all set to start on the museum in the prefecture, but the night before it started something happened on the fly and everyone changed their minds overnight and said they wouldn't fix the museum, they'd fix the shrine."

Bai Liu lowered her eyes, "Are many of you dreaming?"

Xiaokui was utterly stunned as she strained her head to see Bai Liu's face and spoke in an agitated tone, "How did you know! Are you also a sacrifice from Luming County?!"

Bai Liu's tone was flat: "I am not, but I have heard something about your county."

If the collective can be transformed overnight, then Bai six must be in the field himself, and since Bai six cannot directly interfere with reality according to the rules of the game, then there is only one scenario -

-- Bai six entered these people's dreams, compelled them and allowed Luming County to follow the path he wanted the game to take.

Xiaokui's voice became lowered, "...... is also right, it's very famous and people from outside the county should have heard about it, the Luming County Gods into Dreams thing."

"God into dreams?" Bai Liu asked, "What is it about?"

Xiaokui paused: "The day before the museum broke ground, many people went to that place to observe the corpse of the siren that was to be put there, and that night, anyone who had gone to observe the siren during the day had a dream, the same dream."

"They dreamed of a fairy god, dressed in white hunting clothes, a god whose appearance could not be seen, sitting high in the sky on the shores of Luming County, smiling and looking down on the people, saying, "I sense your evil desire for money, and as a reward for your catching the evil god, I will take a tour with you and give you two choices. "

"The first option is that I don't interfere with your choices, you follow your own path and become a modest tourist town, some people get up and leave this remote little town, and then a group of fishermen are left to continue toiling away at sea, entertaining fewer and fewer tourists and dying of old age with this small county that is slowly falling into decay. "

"At the same time, you will also be affected by the remains of that old evil god, which you call the Siren, and become inhuman."

"Second choice, I grant you the right to become my followers."

"You will repair the shrine for me in Luming County, and each year you will make offerings for me, of which I will choose the one I like best, and then grant the one wish that you and the offerings be equal in price with me."

Xiaokui's voice became hoarse: "Everyone chose the second one."

"They kneel in their dreams, Lord Evil One, and what is the sacrifice?"

"The evil god laughed and answered them, saying, "The sacrifice I want is human suffering, and the more pure and extreme the suffering, the more valuable it will be to me, and the more valuable the wish you can make."

"So they bowed down again, and looked up again, and reverently asked, Lord Evil One, what then are you, and how shall we offer ourselves to you?"

"And the evil god answered them with a smile, saying, My incarnation around you is the corpse of the siren which you have caught."

"He is the embodiment of evil, the bearer of desire, and at the sight of which your flesh overflows with greed and dehumanizing sin, and your soul is thus squeezed out of your body and turned into a note that I can easily obtain."

"- So you will enshrine that body in a shrine of the highest specifications, and kneel before Him day and night, torturing sacrifices and offering them to Him, for Him to choose from the millions of different tastes of pain in this world of men."

"If He is willing to wake up from death to accept the pain of this sacrifice, then I will come to grant you your wish."

"If He is not willing to accept the pain of this sacrifice, it means that the pain of your sacrifice is not enough to meet the criteria for Him to wake up."

"The evil lord laughed with delight, and said, then you should increase the torture of the sacrifice until this old evil god with closed eyes is willing to open his eyes again, look into this mortal world, and step down from his high throne to receive this extreme pain."
