Chapter 450: Evil God Ritual - Boathouse

Meanwhile, the Bei Yuan family.

Xiaokui took off his magnificent garments with a numb face, and the servant next to him, with his head bowed, advised softly, " Lord Xiaokui, you have chosen your [prince's lord]."

"You know what will happen to your [prince-sama] if you just run away before the summer festival, don't you?"

Xiaokui looks out of the window at the sunny doll hanging from the eaves, and drops her eyes.

The maid folded her arms in front of her, bowed and stepped back, while Xiaokui stood frozen in the middle of the room for a long, long time, then turned her head to the window and stared, motionless, at the shrine.

It was now night time, but the Bai six had not yet returned, and it was said that they had been detained at the boathouse by the Imperial Boat, and that the Bei Yuan head of the family was on a rampage, and that the whole Bei Yuan family was preparing to go out to the Imperial Boat to negotiate the detention of the offerings.

So much for her nightly pleasure of watching Bai six go to the shrine.

After staring at the shrine for a long time, Xiaokui yawned tiredly and, feeling bored, was about to withdraw her gaze and go to sleep when she saw the door of the shrine suddenly pushed open a little.

Xiaokui's eyes looked suspiciously at the door, which had been pushed open a little, and then looked around to make sure she didn't see Bai Liu, and her heart skipped a beat.

If she hadn't been watching every day, every day, she would hardly have noticed the faint gap in the door.

This evil god who lives in the shrine, in the absence of painful sacrifices, the evil god awakens?!

Xiaokui pushed open the window and looked around, and when she was sure that there was only a sleeping servant in the attic on her left, she rolled over and climbed expertly down the side of the attic.

The Bei Yuan family had gone to the Gifune family for an hour at most, during which time the Bei Yuan family would be relatively empty, and Xiaokui calmly thought that if she returned before then, she would be safe from detection.

Although she had been caught, she had been a victim of a successful escape from the Bei Yuan family, and she was comfortable with the idea of visiting the shrine without leaving the gate.

Xiaokui dangles below the loft and swings twice, leaps steadily to the ground and then runs in the direction of the shrine.

In the attic behind her, the servant she thought was sleeping was silently pushing open the window and watching her God Xiang society run away.

The servant, who had a corded telephone in his hand, was approaching the receiver and reported in a low voice, " Beiyuan Xiaokui is approaching the shrine, following the same path of movement as Bei Yuan Bai six in the past few months."

"House Master, the summer festival is two days away, and in the four months since we have determined that the sacrifice Bei Yuan Bai six has the qualifications to awaken the evil gods, will the already arranged escape route be delegated to the two sacrifices tonight after testing whether Bei Yuan Xiaokui can awaken the evil gods?"

"Devolve it." A hoarse, middle-aged man's voice came over the receiver, the head of the Bei Yuan family, "We can't give up the number one spot to the Gifune family."

"We've been playing along with these two sacrifices for a little over half a year, and it's time to make them pay the price called [pain] for the gift of the Bei Yuan family."

"Yes." The servant replied quickly as he squinted at the [Offering Parenting Plan] form hanging on the back of his door and respectfully asked, "Let me check with you again."

"Our parenting plan for Beiyuan Xiaokui is [Educating for cognitive bias] as well as [Exodus twice]."

"Last year we had to let Beiyuan Xiaokui go on the run during the [exodus program] guided by the Mifune family, and spent two months drifting around outside, during which time the Mifune family had their own people reach out to her, but because we didn't want Beiyuan Xiaokui to be under the control of the Mifune family, we got the tax first again this year After that, we forcibly recalled Beiyuan Xiaokui."

"After the recall, we nurtured her [educational cognitive bias], torturing her while teaching her all the best things in the world to make her think the outside world is all wonderful and inspire her desire to exfiltrate again."

"During the night, we will arrange an escape route for Beiyuan Xiaokui and place a certain [good person] from Bei Yuan's family into this route to help her along with her exodus and to capture her heart once and for all."

"At the Winter Festival in six months' time, we will have this [good person] betray Beiyuan Xiaokui and send her back to Bei Yuan's house tied up by her own hands, and instantly, she is the perfect painful sacrifice."

House Master Bei Yuan laughed hoarsely, "A wish made with her must be quite perfect."

The servant hesitated for a moment, then looked at the [sacrificial parenting plan] and continued reading.

"The sacrifice Bei Yuan Bai six, who managed to steal the shrine key on the first day he arrived at Bei Yuan's house and went to the shrine to awaken the evil god, was a mature sacrifice right from the start."

"During these next four months, Bei Yuan Bai six went to the shrine daily to worship, and we thought at first that he was a devout cultist, so the formation program for him was [blasphemy], which means that the evil gods fell and collapsed in his heart of faith."

"For example, torturing him in the shrine, forcing him to pray to the evil god for help, but the evil god does not come out to save him, and by making him turn his back on his faith in this way, he achieves the goal of making the suffering deeper."

"But we soon found out that Bei Yuan Bai six was not a devout cultist." The servant was quite confused, "...... Through these six months of teaching and observation, we found that rather than the reason Bei Yuan Bai six went to the shrine daily was because of his belief in an evil god, it was in, in ...... "

Bei Yuan The master of the house took up the second half of the sentence in a mute voice: "- is tempering the evil gods so that they will in turn suffer for him and believe in him."

The servant nodded, "Yes, so we don't have a particularly good breeding program for Bai six, we're just going step by step and going to put him into the [escape program] and see how it turns out in six months."

"Tch." House Master Bei Yuan narrowed his eyes, "It's just a pity we don't have a tool to measure pain like the Gifune family, or we wouldn't have to wait six months to see the results."

"The two key props for cultivating the sacrifice, the balance and the house of boats, are held in the hands of the Gifune family, and we can't open the shrine openly at a non-sacrificial node, so we can only see if the sacrifice has the qualifications to awaken the evil god by observing it from a distance outside the shrine."

The servant sighed tersely, "Even so, we have lost many people in the course of our observations because of the alienating influence of the evil god on those who see him."

"However, judging by the way the Gifune family's snatched Bai six tonight." House Master Bei Yuan's let out a sort of dull, dry chuckle, " Bai six should be quite the painful sacrifice."

The servant hesitated, "Then, my lord, is it necessary to delegate the escape route to Bai six, since Bai six is already suffering so much?"

"Let it go." The Bei Yuan family can't compete with the Gifune family, so if we don't let them go, we'll just be letting them take it from us.

"Yes." The servant nodded obediently, "Then I will immediately arrange to meet their escapees."

Hilltop, Shrine.

Xiaokui darted up the hill with her gas lamp, gazing in a trance at the huge shrine that stood at the top of the hill, the hot night breeze blowing past the side of her face.

Is that what it's like to be a Bai six walking around here every night on ......?

By the time he reached the huge shrine door, Xiaokui regretted his impulsiveness in a rare way.

Stands have been erected on both sides of the shrine, knotted ropes have been hung, lanterns have been hung one above the other and the area around the shrine has been carefully cleaned.

The summer festival was two days away, the shrine was about to open to the public and all the decorating and cleaning had begun, which meant that the area around the shrine was guarded and set up, and she was taking a bit of a risk coming here now.

But come all, it's late at night and she doesn't see the caretaker ......

Xiaokui took a deep breath and stepped onto the last rung of the ladder.

A very light voice came from the door, "Who?"

Is this the voice of the evil god?

Xiaokui was startled to hear this, and her heart began to beat wildly again, but at the same time an inexplicable feeling of hatred rose up inside her -

--The one who lives in it is the evil god who killed her brother.

"You're waiting for Bai six, aren't you?" Xiaokui asked calmly.

The voices inside were silent, Xiaokui heard the sound of chains moving towards the door, a strong smell of blood wafted out of the doorway, the other's voice grew lighter and more indistinct, with a sincerity that asked Xiaokui: "Yes, I waited for him for a day."

"Usually he would have been here by this time, but today, for some reason, he never came."

"Do you know what happened to Bai Liu, please?"

Beiyuan Xiaokui clutched the handle of the gas lamp she was carrying in her hand, she inhaled slowly and exhaled again, then suddenly and inexplicably smiled, "You don't have to wait."

" Bai six won't be coming to see you again."

The voice in the shrine paused for a moment and became a little flatter when it spoke again, "Why?"

"Do you know what the latest lesson in our offerings is?" Xiaokui smiled nastily, "It's 'Love' Oh."

"We told the love story 'Rapunzel' yesterday and today we will let the offerings pick their favourite [prince-sama] from the handsome young men around them and experience the wonders of love."

" Bai six has also chosen his [prince's lord] oh."

The voices in the shrine fell completely silent.

Xiaokui waited outside for a while, a thrill of revenge in her chest, but at the same time an inexplicable stifling.

It is as if the only light she sees in the dark forest of this twisted and gloomy Bei Yuan home, in this Luming County where she feeds on pain, is the suffocating feeling that the light from the gas lamp carried by Bai six is going out in front of her eyes.

Aota's sparkling eyes flashed in front of Xiaokui's eyes and he looked at Xiaokui seriously and said.

[Lord Bai six and the evil god must be true love, as beautiful as in fairy tales].

Xiaokui gritted her teeth: "What, are you giving up?"

The moment her words fell, the door of the shrine in front of her was pushed open by a pale, slender hand, and in the thin moonlight, the evil god, bloodstained on her face and body, struggled to push open the half-doors and reach the entrance to the shrine, pushing open a little with all her fingers and appearing in front of Beiyuan Xiaokui, who looked stunned.

His eyes were closed, his delicate face stained with blood, holding onto the door frame, his body being dragged towards the shrine by countless silk threads, his chest heaving slightly, his voice speaking with a gasp, " Bai Liu [Lord Prince] has the selection already ended?"

"Can I ask Bai Liu to go back to the original prince, plus me, and pick again?"

Xie Ta's tightly closed eyelashes trembled slightly and her face wore a very thin layer of red: "I'm not young, but I'm supposed to be handsome too."

Beiyuan Xiaokui was so shocked by Xie Ta's face that she couldn't say a word, and she was about to say something when she suddenly turned her head to look at the grass that had scurried a little: "Who?"

A figure slowly emerges from the grass.

Beiyuan Xiaokui is once again frozen in place.

It was a woman with a long and happy figure, who looked three or four times like Beiyuan Xiaokui, her body was bruised and battered, and it was obvious that she had suffered many injuries before coming here. '

Beiyuan Xiaokui whispered in a trance: "...... sister."

This is the eldest of the four Xiaokui siblings.

After Xiaokui and her brother Jiro were sold, the older sister broke up with her family and was driven out of Luming County to marry in a small seaside town far away from here.

"I didn't agree with my parents selling you and Jiro, but I couldn't say anything and I was kicked out of Luming County and not allowed to come back." Beiyuan Xiaokui's sister grabbed Beiyuan Xiaokui's hand without saying a word and said eagerly, "I came here especially during the summer festival, when the guards are lax everywhere in Luming County at this time of year."

She half-crouched down, holding Xiaokui's shoulders, and looked at her partner eagerly: "Run with your sister, and leave this hell together!"

Beiyuan Xiaokui looks blankly at his elder sister's outstretched hand, a clear wavering in his eyes.

She slowly lifted her hand and placed it in the palm of her eldest sister's hand.
