Chapter 453: Evil God Ritual - The Boathouse

The moon shines on the earth.

In the dark forest, the "princess", who had fled from the high loft, fell into a trance on the path down the hill.

As she fully recalls everything, Xiaokui can't help but fall to the ground and vomit frantically, clenching the ground as the tears and acid from her stomach are excreted from her body.

Bai six ......

Bai six!!!

The cowardly and self-doubting sacrifice becomes a prop in the palm of his hand, and the resulting pain is nothing more than a diversion for him to get through the game.

" Xiaokui!" Apricot fell to her knees and hugged Xiaokui's head in tears, she too remembered everything, and sobbed, "My poor sister."

"Tch." A slightly derisive young male voice came from behind them, something was walking out of the dark forest, the bright moonlight falling bit by bit on the face of the man who was walking out, and he smiled, "What a feat, Sister Xiaokui."

"All this play, almost sacrificing the evil god, I never thought ......" Bai six leaned forward as he reached out, gently lifting the chin of Xiaokui, whose expression was blank and immobile, as he chuckled softly. "There are actually other players who can lure the evil god out of the shrine and trigger this special game path."

"It's so funny."

Bai six's eyes half-closed: "Do you think, your pain can lure the evil gods out of the shrine now?"

"If I can't, then what do I do?"

Xiaokui couldn't restrain herself from shaking as she caught a glimpse of Apricot lifting a large stone and preparing to smash it into Bai six with a desperate look on her face: "You're crazy, you stay away from Xiaokui!"

Bai six curved his mouth as his hand slipped into a wide sleeve, a black bone whip looming large.

"Sister no!" Xiaokui broke down and screamed out, "Run!"

The moment the stone was about to hit Bai six's shoulder, he pulled a bloodstained black bone whip out of his sleeve without looking back, flung his hand, shook it out, wrapped the end around Apricot's neck and dragged her over to him in a crisp, clean manner, without moving his feet for more than ten seconds.

Bai took the whip in one hand and half-lifted Apricot to the ground, her feet struggling on the ground, her face turning blue as her hands clung to the bone whip stuck around her neck and pulled it outwards.

"Ah." Bai six nodded as if she had only just recalled something, with a sudden realization, "I almost forgot, it seems that Apricot-san is pregnant now."

With a friendly smile on his face, he asked Xiaokui in a cheerful tone, "How many minutes does a pregnant woman suffocate before the baby in her belly dies from lack of oxygen?"

"I remember something like, three minutes?"

As Bai six spoke, the whip strangling the apricot in her hand did not loosen at all, but was instead lifted tighter and tighter.

Apricot struggled frantically on the floor in her stirrups, her eyelids rolled up and her grip on the whip slowly began to slip as her face turned from blue to white and she uttered her last words hoarsely to Xiaokui, "...... Don't suffer because of your sister's death."

"Pain, that's what he wanted."

Xiaokui's eyes are completely disoriented.

The moment Apricot's hand slowly slid to the ground, a white bone whip swept violently from behind Bai six's diagonal. Bai six sharply let go of the whip, then turned sideways to hold a cut in both hands and block the incoming white bone whip back.

The two whips, black and white, meet in the air and clank against each other with a crisp buzzing sound.

The moment Apricot was released to the ground, she was rushed up by Xiaokui to catch her.

Xiaokui felt her breath, and she burst into tears as if she had come back from the dead: "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive!"

Bai six looks alertly in the direction where the white bone whip is being dragged back.

In the bright moonlight, a man in a broad white hari-kari coat with a long red ribbon tied around his long hair walked slowly out of the forest, the ribbon floating past the corner of his eyes.

"Wow." Bai six couldn't help but whistle as he raised an eyebrow, "That's a nice outfit."

"This is a costume for the sacrifice to be made, and I don't remember promising the Bei Yuan family that I would sacrifice myself?"

Bai Liu's eyes were light and flat as he looked at Bai six: "Not Bei Yuan's."

"It's the Gifune family."

Bai six a quiet.

Apricot's cry of surprise rang out as she braced herself on Xiaokui's shoulders in amazement and straightened up, looking down the burning mountain and asking incredulously, "What's going on?!"

"Why is Bei Yuan's house burning?!"

The location of the blaze was the Bei Yuan family home, which was built underneath the shrine, and it was as if countless sparks had fallen from the sky.

Even standing on the hill, one could hear the panicked cries and screams of Bei Yuan's servants.

"The altar and the shrine side are burning up!"

"Where's the collection of books and paintings in the master's room! Cover it with water and get it out!"

"The attic where the sacrifices lived has collapsed!"

"Quickly stop the supply of warm water to the rockery and draw the spring from the garden to put out the fire!"

"How could ......" Xiaokui looked down the hill in disbelief, dreaming that the ugly and dirty Bei Yuan house would be burned down in a fire, but when it actually happened before her eyes, she felt It was so unreal.

--Like a divine manifestation of a beautiful dream given to her.

Xiaokui snapped her head around to look at Bai Liu: "Did you set the fire?!"

But instead of waiting for Bai Liu to reply to her, she nervously and self-consciously denied it: "How could Bei Yuan's house be so heavily guarded that it could burst into such a rage?

"It would take at least 30 or 40 ignition points for this kind of fire to burn, and even if it could be set, the Bei Yuan family spent a lot of money to draw so many mountain springs that they would soon have the fire under control ......"

"The fire will soon be out."

The moment she said this, the light in Xiaokui's eyes seemed to go out as well.

She experienced a fire at Bei Yuan's house once in her memory, and then she reacted to the fact that it was just a sacrifice trick they used on purpose to make a reasonable exodus.

This fire won't even burn.

As a matter of fact, the steep fire in the house of Bei Yuan was soon brought under control, and the fire in the south-east corner was soon extinguished, with many servants cursing fiercely.

"Catch the arsonist!"

"Mostly it was the sacrifice that did it!"

"Bring them back and torture them badly!"

But before these people could get out of Bei Yuan's house, the fire started up again.

The servant over at the southeast corner was burning with a heart-rending scream, "Come and put out the fire!"

"How did it burn again!"

"Haven't you already diverted the mountain spring?!"

Xiaokui looks bewildered.

"Interesting." Bai six leaned over as if watching a good show, his black whip curled in his hand as he looked at Bai Liu with amusement, "You touched the Bei Yuan family's spring water supply system?"

Bai Liu swept him along and did not reply.

" Lord Bai six!" A distant shout of excitement came from the top of the hill, and a figure waved its hand desperately in the darkness, it was Aota, who shouted, "I secretly took the key from Bei Yuan's house and gave it to the Gifune family, just as you ordered!"

"They said they were celebrating the summer festival and had a lot of sake carried through the shrine and up the hill!"

"Sake, mountain spring water, supply system ......" Xiaokui muttered two words to herself as she snapped to attention, "When the Gifune family gets the key to the shrine, they can go to the top of the mountain where the Bei Yuan family draws the spring water place, they can cut off the spring and use the wine as spring water to put it down."

"To create the beauty of the garden's warm water and rocks, the Bei Yuan family still burned the fireplace in June, and the spirits would ignite as soon as they went down into the furnace!"

" Bei Yuan home has at least a hundred cookers, that's over a hundred fires ......"

Xiaokui's eyes reflected the glowing fire at the bottom of the hill, and she slowly curled her mouth, finally covering her stomach and laughing until tears came to her eyes.

"The brutes who let so many squires freeze alive in winter!!!"

"Deserve to die!!!"

The people of the Bei Yuan family fled in panic, but the mountain had been closed off by the Gifune family under the name of "Summer Festival, no one is allowed to enter the vicinity of the shrine".

This group of people, who were usually unbeatable, could not even escape when the fire rushed the mountain. The group had to walk towards the shrine on the mountain with a clear look of fear on their faces, as if they were more afraid of the [evil god] that would turn people into monsters when they got close to it than of the fire that would burn them to death.

Mountain fires and darkness mingle with each other, the moon hangs behind the shrine and the hurried backs of the Gifune family who can be seen setting down their bottles from the top of the hill and then heading down.

In the distance, the waterfront was full of lively scenes of rituals, the stands were filled with people dancing the divine rituals, and in the distance, the boathouse, lacking supervision, the attendants and some of the offerings, as if they had finally gotten some kind of signal, burst out of their cages and shadowy chambers and fled frantically into the distance with their backs to the light, like small animals out of their cages.

Standing high up on the bleachers, he lowered his telescope in satisfaction and ordered the servant next to him, "The new offerings have all been put out, inform the [anchor men] of the new offerings to take up their positions at each place to prepare to receive this new batch."

"Remember to give them the happiest six months of their lives."

The servant bowed and held up the box with the binoculars, "Yes, Mikoto-sama."

Gifune put the binoculars back in the box, he clapped his hands together and looked towards the Bei Yuan house which was on fire in the distance and curled his lips, "Tonight is the eve of the summer festival, everyone has been happy for six months, it's time to have a good time."

"The new offerings have all been let go, so let the old ones out for hunting and fun."

The Royal Boat looked down at the laughing Luming County visitors on the stage and waved her hand downwards.

"The Funeral Palace Night Celebration Festival, begins."

Hilltop.

"So this is the night." Bai six as if he had finally seen enough, he stepped forward with a thin impervious layer of a smile on his face, " The Bei Yuan house was on fire, the Gifune family attacked the Bei Yuan house, the new sacrifices fled and the old ones were hunted."

"If it was this night, it would be ...... by this point in time."

Bai six smiled as he looked intently at Bai Liu's face and began to count down softly, "5, 4, 3, 2, 1."

"Phew - bang - !!!"

A huge beam of light shot up from behind Bai Liu and exploded in the dark, curtain-like sky, breaking up into thousands of points of light before falling in a flurry.

The sound of loud firework explosions was incessant, and the white moonlight and glittering fireworks were interspersed, spilling light and shadows onto the shrine that would be at its highest point, illuminating it in all its colours and brightness.

-- like a game pool in general.

The smile on Bai six's lips slowly increased as he hid the whip behind him, "The game has finally begun."
