I Managed to Ditch My Single Status in a Survival Game
Chapter 99: Black Tower (7)
Although extremely forbearing, there was an inaudible tremor at the end of the sentence.
Du Yixin noticed this, but he didn't say anything and opened the door: "See you tomorrow." Then he left the attic.
late at night.
I don't know how long it has passed, the light outside the window has not changed, and it is impossible to judge the exact time.
Ying Sheng lay on the mattress, but did not fall asleep. In the end he couldn't stay any longer and stood up.
The space in the attic was very depressing, and dust was flying in the air. Opening the door, accompanied by a creak, the sound of the door echoed throughout the house.
Going down to the second floor, except for one room whose door was closed, the others were all open, and Du Yixin was not seen.
He locked his gaze to the only closed door, stepped forward, and touched the handle.
The door was not locked and opened easily. Then, he saw Du Yixin sitting against the wall with a bed sheet wrapped around his body, and his head was lighted up and down, as if he was asleep.
The only bed in the room collapsed in the center and a big hole broke, making it impossible to sleep.
Ying Sheng hesitated for a moment in place, stepped forward, squatted down, and observed Du Yixin.
The other party really fell asleep, his eyes closed tightly, and his bangs drooped due to gravity, sweeping a shadow on his smooth forehead.
And this was the first time Ying Sheng noticed that Du Yixin's skin was very white. It's not pale, but a healthy, ruddy complexion.
He watched quietly for a while, then involuntarily raised his hand, and was about to touch his cheek, but suddenly stopped in the air.
Then his five fingers curled up, his heart clenched into a fist unwillingly, and gently put it down.
The next day, Du Yixin didn't know how long he had slept, and when he opened his eyes, his head felt a little painful. He rubbed his temples and got up, only to find himself lying on the mattress underneath.
Where did the cushion come from? Didn't you just sleep on the ground yesterday?
He was puzzled, got up and walked outside the door. When he came to the corridor, he couldn't help but looked at the stairs leading to the attic.
He hesitated for a while and still didn't go up, and went back to the first floor.
Just walked into the living room, but found a figure sitting on the dilapidated sofa, debugging weapons. Seeing him come out, raised his head.
Du Yixin said hello: "Good morning."
Ying Sheng seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just put away the weapon, his actions were slightly rough: "Time is almost there."
Hearing this, Du Yixin looked out the window, and the residents on the street were gradually gathering towards the center of the town. All of them wore large, pure white robes, and their faces were hidden under the brim of their hats.
How long did he sleep and wake up until the early hours of the next morning?
Du Yixin rubbed his forehead again: "Sorry, I got up late, you can call me."
Ying Sheng moved for a while, and then said: "I'm staring, I won't miss the time." He slammed his backpack on one shoulder, "Let's go."
"Okay, right now."
Du Yixin hurriedly washed his face with water, feeling a lot clearer. There is still a short distance from the central square. They must hide in advance in order to wake up the totem at zero and open the door to "heaven".
Ying Sheng stood at the door waiting for him. When he got closer, he found that Ying Sheng's eyes were covered with red blood, and he didn't seem to sleep much.
Du Yixin looked at Ying Sheng's face, causing Ying Sheng to take a step back unnaturally: "You, what are you looking at."
"Nothing. You don't seem to sleep well?"
"..." Ying Sheng looked away, "I slept well."
Du Yixin didn't ask any more.
After all that happened yesterday, he also thought he would suffer from insomnia, so he slept like a dead pig. I don't know if it is a side effect of "reading files", it will consume a lot of mental energy.
The two of them avoided pedestrians and took the trail to the vicinity of the central square.
The townspeople who arrived first stood on both sides of the column, leaving only a path leading to the totem's "eye" direction. Everyone was holding white candles, the flames swaying, hiding in a white sea, like dots of red eyes, very weird.
The members finally arrived, and then I don't know who started from, singing a weird spell song together. It is a language that does not belong to the world, it seems to be emitted from the chest, dull and vague, and it is extremely uncomfortable to hear.
In this inexplicable ceremony, the protagonist finally appeared slowly.
That was the leader who bowed down at the forefront of worship yesterday. Du Yixin was very impressed with the man's long beard, so even if he was wearing a wide hood, he recognized it at a glance.
The leader's white robe is heavier than the others, with complicated patterns entwined on it. Upon closer inspection, the pattern is actually a combination of "eyes".
He walked in the middle of the road formed by the crowd, stepped up the stairs step by step, walked straight to the totem column before stopping, turned to face the crowd, and raised an arm.
Everyone's weird singing stopped.
"Just today, the gate to heaven will be opened. The gods will choose the most pious one from you and be called to be the people of God."
Everyone buried their heads lower, suppressing their inner excitement with a more loyal attitude.
"The'eye of the gods' will tell us who is the most qualified believer."
When the words fell, the people knelt down, put the candles in front of their heads, and crawled on the ground. Then, the men held up their hands while the women held up the pendant.
Du Yixin noticed that although the jewelry on their bodies were all orange, they had different shades. Some are more yellowish, some are more orange-red.
On the column behind the leader, a huge "eye" shot out a beam of light, covering one of them's jewelry.
"It seems that the result has come out. You come up now and stand next to me."
The selected townspeople were very pleasantly surprised, and walked to the leader in the eyes of people around them either jealously or enviously.
"The mayor." The man bowed respectfully and presented the pendant on his neck to the leader.
The leader touched his beard, looked at the pendant, and shook his head: "Although you have been selected, you are not enough to open the door."
Du Yixin heard it secretly, his fingers gripping the bracelet tightly. Sure enough, only the "green" Eye of the Occult God is useful.
When interrogating the time of the day of the priests before, they all answered "the time of the handover of today and tomorrow". In other words, it is possible that the cylinder can only be activated by inserting the "eye of the gods" at 0:00.
There is no timing thing in the dungeon, and now we can only observe the actions of the townspeople, and when they are ready to embed the "eye of the gods", they will pass by.
It's just that those people don't seem to have the green "eyes of the Olympians", what are they going to do next?
Seeing that the selected townspeople showed a disappointed expression, the leader patted her hand in a soothing manner, and then said to the crowd: "In order to activate the gate, only sacrifices are offered."
He opened his hands: "In fact, in our peaceful town, we have mixed up with the most sinister traitors!"
Hearing this, everyone showed expressions of anger and disgust one after another.
"Gosh, how can such a terrible person be in us."
"Who will it be, we must teach him well!"
"Dedicate him to the gods and express our loyalty!"
They shouted excitedly. The leader raised his hand and motioned for everyone to silence. After being quiet, he said, "I have sent someone to catch the traitor. Now, I will punish her."
He cast his gaze on the road that stretched out, and everyone turned their heads to look over.
Du Yixin was also curious. Who will the traitor be? Could there be other players?
The "traitor" soon appeared in full view. A woman in a long skirt was dragged onto the altar by being framed from left to right. Long hair blocked his face, and seemed to have given up resistance. But the scarlet pendant exposed between his neck made Du Yixin a little familiar.
He remembered.
It's the sick woman. Since the plot did not trigger this time, the woman is not dead yet. As a result, he was arrested for this crime.
But he can't go out yet. In order to seize the opportunity, the ceremony cannot be interrupted.
The leader grabbed the woman's long hair and forced her to show her face, facing everyone.
"She is the one who never participates in the worship, and she instills content about the outside of the tower to the children all day long."
Everyone exclaimed again:
"God, outside the tower? Why do you want to say this to the children in such a dangerous place."
"The appearance is weak, but she is actually a vicious-hearted witch!"
"Kill her! Don't let her pollute our town!"
But when the townspeople rallied to attack, a man came out and fell to his knees in panic: "Please, forgive me! My wife is very sick and can't walk. Regarding worship, I too I told you..."
The leader said slowly: "Did I agree?"
"You, I..." The man was a little incoherent, "I thought you had acquiesced." He immediately said again: "I blame my own opinion, please forgive my poor wife! The child is still young, and I can't live without a mother!"
"Still young?" the leader asked, "I remember, your eldest son is already an adult. Speaking of which, where did he go?"
The man shivered more severely, and he dared not answer: "He, he ran away from home and hasn't come back for a long time. I don't know too much..."
"Not sure?" The leader raised his chin, "Then I tell you, he didn't follow the advice and left the black tower, went outside the dangerous tower, and died outside."
Hearing this, the dying wife turned back and stared at the leader: "You lied! He lives well and will live better than you lunatics!"
A single sentence is like falling rocks and hitting water, stirring up waves.
"What silly thing is this crazy woman saying!"
There were also people who almost stuck to the ground and kept praying: "My lord god, my beloved god, please don't be angry. This witch...Ah, this witch with a thousand swords, we will deal with it."
The leader snorted coldly and twisted the woman's pendant with his two fingers: "You are not worthy of God's blessing." With a hard hand, he directly smashed the pendant.
The red spar shattered, turned into fine powder and floated on the pendant of the selected person just now, and melted directly into it.
At the same time, the woman opened her mouth in pain as if her heart was caught. The chest rises and falls sharply, but it calms down quickly, and his eyes are staring blankly forward.
The leader waved his hand, and the two men in white robes immediately put down the woman, splashed oil on her body, and stepped aside. The leader took the candle from the townspeople and leaned toward the woman.
"No, no..." The man stood up anxiously, as if he wanted to stop. But the leader turned his head and stared: "Are you also a traitor?"
The man shuddered unconsciously, his eyes slowly moved away from his wife, and he knelt down again. A little girl ran out of the crowd, was firmly grasped by the man, and covered her mouth.
The fire ignited, and the flames brightened everyone's eyes. In those eyes, either madness, or hatred, or desire.
In this flame, the pendant of the selected person gradually changed color, from orange to light green.
The time has come.
The leader motioned the townspeople to come over, picked up her pendant, and was about to buckle to the groove in the totem cylinder.
At this moment, two figures flew out. One person raised the bat with one hand and slashed directly at the head of the leader. The leader dodged quickly and released the pendant in his hand for a while.
The other person buckled the bracelet to the groove. In an instant, the eyes of the totem cylinder glowed, and Du Yixin only felt his arm directly sucked in.
The flash was too rapid, and it was about to disappear.
"Ying Sheng!"
Ying Sheng heard the call, kicked the mayor's guard who was wrapped up, and grabbed Du Yixin's hand.
Suddenly, Cheng Yaojin came out, and the leader hardly reacted. Then he returned to his senses: "Stop them!"
The townsfolk rushed over.
Feeling that the white light was about to close, Du Yixin hooked his arm and circled Ying Sheng into his arms.
The townspeople who were originally selected also reacted at this time. Unwilling to be robbed of the opportunity, she reached out into the white light: "Wait, this is mine--!"
The white light disappeared quickly.
The two figures that appeared just now disappeared in front of him, and the selected townsman fell to the ground, with only two upper arms in his hands, blood was spraying directly, and he rolled in pain.
"Ahhhh! My hands, my hands!"
She felt very comfortable the moment her hand plunged into the white light. Although she had never seen the sun, she had a similar feeling at that moment, as if she was surrounded by warm light.
And the next moment, the body that failed to enter in time was cut off mercilessly. Her body remained in the town, but her hands went to "heaven".
The leader failed to prevent all of this from happening, and blood leaked from his forehead due to the attack just now, but he didn't notice it. He fell on his knees: "Ah, this will anger the gods, please forgive, please forgive."
Time is more pressing than imagined. Although Du Yixin moved very fast, his arm was exposed to the outside, and a little flesh was cut off when he hugged Ying Sheng.
The pressure in the white light was extremely strong, and the two of them were flying like dead leaves in a hurricane, and they were about to be blown away several times.
Du Yixin basically couldn't open his eyes, and firmly grasped Ying Sheng's clothes: "Grab, hold tight!"
Ying Sheng gritted his teeth: "Grab, get, very, tight!"
The arm was so hard that the veins violently violently clung to Du Yixin's shoulder.
The white light disappeared, and the two of them did a free fall downward motion. When he was about to touch the ground, Ying Shengsheng reversed his direction in the air, and his back fell heavily to the ground.
Du Yixin felt dizzy because of the blow. Seeing Ying Sheng being pressed under him, he quickly got up: "Are you okay?"
Ying Sheng sat up, shook his head and was about to get up, but felt that he had hurt a certain part and did not stand up all of a sudden.
"Don't move." Seeing this, Du Yixin lifted his clothes and exposed his back.
Ying Sheng shook his body and pressed Du Yixin's arm: "What are you doing!"
"I see where you hurt."
Du Yixin said, lowering his gaze, his back was close to the spine, and there was a very obvious bruise.
Although Ying Sheng frowned, he let go of his hand without stopping.
Du Yixin inspected it and saw that there was nothing serious, so he put down his clothes and pulled the person up.
Ying Sheng got up and looked away: "...Since you don't mean that, it's best not to touch me casually."
Du Yixin then remembered the awkward relationship between the two: "Uh, uh. Sorry, I think you are injured, a little anxious..."
"Stupid." Ying Sheng grabbed his hair irritably, as if talking to himself, "That's why I misunderstood."
The voice is not weak, Du Yixin heard it naturally. But he didn't know how to respond, so he didn't speak. Turned to look around, but couldn't help being stunned.
"This is... Paradise?"
