I know this ancient god

There seems to be a strict hierarchical arrangement for this sacrifice. The believers of any level will stand in the same position, and no oversteps are allowed.

Tang Xuan didn't believe in evil and rushed again.

This time, as soon as he showed the intention of sprinting, he was firmly held down by two villagers on his left and right.

The villagers did not let him go, but directly escorted him out of the crowd of sacrificers, took him into a stone house and locked him up. They also thoughtfully hung a lock on the outside of the door.

Tang Xuan controlled the character to walk around the room several times, and found that there were no interactive buttons, and gradually became a little panicked.

He controlled the character to hit the door panel. Although he saw the door panel shaking more and more violently, he was still unable to open it.

After a while, fanatical cheers from the believers came from outside the house, and the game screen gradually darkened.

A line of small text scrolled out on the screen: The sacrifice has begun. You have completely lost the chance to kill the ancient god. The mission has failed.

At the same time, there was also a notification sound of mission failure.

Tang Xuan's eyes were a little confused.

A rotating circular arrow appears in the center of the screen.

Tang Xuan poked.

The screen lit up again, and the little man in gray stood in the crowd. The sacrifice was still being prepared and had not yet started.

Everything is back to square one.

Tang Xuan became serious.

He murmured: "The mission will be judged as a failure when the sacrifice begins. I must stop this sacrifice. There are a group of believers around. What should I do?"

He recalled the reactions of the believers around him when he first controlled a character to rush forward. The first time he rushed forward, the believers around him obviously didn't react. He was stopped when he was almost rushing to the altar, so these believers were not wary of him, or they trusted him.

Can this be used to prevent the sacrifice from taking place?

If he suddenly appears unwell.

Tang Xuan silently rejected this idea. The result of doing this is likely to be that they will be sent into the house, and at most the door will not be locked.

He should use this trust to participate more in the sacrifices, so that he can do some small tricks to destroy the sacrifices.

But how should he participate?

The sacrifice is about to be held, and the candidates for various tasks have been determined. The position of his character implies that he is just an ordinary believer and has little say.

Tang Xuan pulled off a piece of hair.

This is his habitual action when he is deep in thought.

While he was thinking, believers came out with their livestock, including cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, chickens and ducks, all common domestic animals.

Tang Xuan stared at the screen motionless.

The animals were led to the altar and secured.

A man in red walked to the top of the altar.

A dialog box popped up above his head.

"Followers of Willistan!"

"Today is the last sacrifice!"

"The great god Willistan will rise from his long sleep!"

"And you!"

"Awaken the great god!"

"You will gain eternal life in the land under the care of the gods!"

The believers were excited. They shouted wildly and raised their arms in an extremely fanatical manner. The characters controlled by Tang Xuan also jumped among them.

Willistan?

Tang Xuan searched for this name in his mind, but he found nothing. Many ancient gods would say they would grant eternal life when they fed their believers. Willistan, the ancient god, is either too unpopular, or is a fiction in the game.

The man in red is still talking.

"Willistan is His name!"

"The vertical pupils under the mist are His symbol!"

"Let us complete this sacrifice!"

"Summon the great god Willistan to come!"

The little man in red pulled out a dagger from his waist. Amid the fanatical cheers of the believers, he walked up to the animals and pierced their vital points one by one.

The animals were fastened very firmly. They only struggled in vain for a few times when they were stabbed, and then they collapsed on the ground and let their blood flow downwards.

The blood of cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, chickens and ducks mixed together and flowed into the already carved grooves, slowly flowing down along the lines on the slope of the front of the altar, and a scarlet vertical pupil slowly appeared in front of all the believers.

"Willistan!"

"Willistan!"

"Willistan!"

The little man in red cuts his palm,

Let his blood flow into the groove.

Suddenly, the vertical pupil logo outlined by blood blinked as if it were a real eye, and wisps of black mist began to spread upward from the vertical pupil logo.

The little man in red raised his hands: "Come on!"

His call attracted the attention of the black mist, and the black mist surged into his body. The shouts of the believers at the altar became louder and louder, the sky became gloomy, and a strange cold wind appeared around the altar.

As time went by, the clouds in the sky gradually became dark, and only the light around the altar still came from unknown sources. The little man in red was wrapped in black mist, making his figure invisible, and a scarlet vertical line appeared on the clouds.

"Willistan!"

The game screen gradually dims.

A line of small text scrolled out on the screen: The sacrifice has begun. You have completely lost the chance to kill the ancient god. The mission has failed.

"Failed twice."

However, this time he watched the ritual process completely so that he could do something targeted.

He clicks on the spinning circular arrow to start over.

The little man in gray clothes stood calmly in the crowd. The sacrifice was still being prepared. The animals used for the sacrifice had not been brought out yet, and the little man in red clothes who presided over the sacrifice could not be seen.

Tang Xuan controlled the character to slowly walk out of the crowd.

There was no commotion.

The first time he was stopped was because he was rushing too fast, not because he couldn't leave the crowd.

He walked toward the alley where the animals were led out.

Suddenly someone said to him on the road: "Yi, where are you going?"

Tang Xuan thought deeply and said, "I'm going to see the sacrifices."

A dialog box popped up above the little man in gray, which displayed what Tang Xuan had just said.

The man said, "What's so good about the sacrifice?"

Tang Xuan continued: "The gods need fresh sacrifices. Let me see if they have been abused."

A small red heart popped out of the man's head: "Yi, you are worthy of being the elder's son!"

Tang Xuan was stunned.

Does his character have an identity?

He thought he was controlling passerby A.

This could be a clue to help complete the mission.

Tang Xuan said: "By the way, have you seen my father?"

The man replied: "The elder is behind the altar preparing to preside."

Tang Xuan replied: "Thank you."

The father of his character is the little man in red?

Tang Xuan no longer controlled the characters to enter the alley where the sacrifices were stored, but walked along the dirt road next to the altar. He wanted to confirm whether it was really what he thought.

The little man in red is obviously an important role in this sacrifice. If his character is the son of the villain in red, his operating space will be much larger.

The last time he attacked the altar, he was imprisoned in a stone room. That stone house actually didn't look like a prison, there were a lot of furnishings inside. He didn't think much about it at the time, but looking back now, he realized that that house was probably the residence of the little man in gray's father.
