Chapter 141 Sacrifice
These puppets look very weird. Although their faces are lifelike, their mouths are different from humans, as if they were holding a large blood-red pen and scratched their mouths fiercely.

Looking at it, a cold feeling came from my body, I felt my whole body was frozen, not to mention moving, I couldn't even blink, I could only stare at it. watching the play before him.

Those puppets, dressed in colorful clothes, writhed on the stage in strange postures, and babbled and sang with a voice like a female ghost: "There are thousands of roads in the underworld, and there are ghosts on the side roads to search for souls. There are relatives and relatives looking for relatives." No relatives, no relatives, Hua Wen, good brother, you take him there, you take him back..."

The extremely weird paper figurines on the stage began to babble and sing words, those words sounded particularly sharp and weird, as if they were crying about something.

And their movements are also extremely strange, every movement is very strange.

When I first listened to this opera, I felt eerie, but as I listened to it for a long time, I felt a kind of creepiness in my heart, as well as an inexplicable irritability and depression.

"Watch the show first, don't act rashly, if the two saints notice something is wrong, we will be in trouble."

Chu Yuan's gaze was fixed on the stage, just like other villagers, as if immersed in this sinister drama.

Out of the corner of my eye, I left the Shuang Sheng on the stage. The two of them were standing at the gate of the temple next to the stage, facing us and looking at the villagers below the stage expressionlessly.

I imitated the dull and empty appearance of the villagers, stared blankly at the stage, tried not to open my mouth and asked in a low voice: "What should we do next?"

As soon as I finished speaking, suddenly there was a gust of wind behind me, and then suddenly a head poked out from behind me, the bloodshot eyes made me almost cry out in fright.

My heart was about to jump out of my throat, but fortunately I stopped, it was the female saint, who was still at the gate just now, and somehow suddenly appeared from behind me.

With her head poked close to me, that pale face was almost close to her, I stopped breathing, and I could even clearly see her blood-red eyeballs rolling back and forth.

She seemed to see something, but she was obviously not sure.

Fortunately, at this time, the colorful puppets on the stage stopped and retreated into the curtain one after another, leaving the huge stage empty.

The male saint glanced over, glanced at me, didn't notice anything, but looked at the sky, and said hoarsely to the female saint: "It's almost five o'clock soon, don't miss the hour."

The female saint smiled coldly, and shrank her head back.

I was so frightened that I almost fell from my seat, and when I looked up again, the female saint had reappeared at the entrance of the main temple.

"Let's start the sacrifice, so as not to cause more trouble, as long as the ceremony is completed, we can go out from here."

The male saint licked the corner of his mouth, full of anticipation when he said this.

The female saint also smiled grimly.

Now I vaguely understand that these two twin saints were imprisoned in this place for some reason. They killed the villagers of the whole village, and they seemed to want to leave.

It should be that as long as these villagers are sacrificed, the two of them can break free from the imprisonment.

As soon as the male saint waved his hand, it was like a juggling act. The stage in the huge courtyard slowly disappeared, and instead, two official puppets appeared in the temple.

I saw it clearly this time, two official puppets, a man and a woman, stood in the temple, and many strange runes were drawn on their bodies, and they all shone with golden light at this moment.

In the middle of the main temple, there was an incense burner as tall as a person, in which three sticks of yellow incense the thickness of a baby's arm were lit, and bursts of yellow smoke wafted out.

"It's time to act!"

Chu Yuan didn't look back, but just followed the villagers in a low voice and looked at a place in the same posture.

The same is true for me. At the beginning, the female saint should have noticed some clues, but maybe she didn't see the clues, so she left.

I didn't dare to show any lies, I tried to show dull eyes, and asked quietly: "What should I do now?"

Just after I finished saying this, all of a sudden, the villagers stood up at the same time as if they were ordered by the originally quiet stage.

Chu Yuan and I hurriedly stood up, and at this moment, a row of villagers in front blocked our view. Taking advantage of this moment, Chu Yuan handed me a token without showing any signs.

"Take this."

The token that Chu Yuan handed over was made of paper-cut. I glanced at it out of the corner of my eye. There was a streak of blood on it, but I don't know what kind of paper it was cut out of. It was very hard.

It was about six or seven inches long, and when I handed it to me, I quietly hid it in my sleeve.

At this moment, the two saints who were standing at the gate of the main temple came down, and the insidious drama was over at this time.

Now that the two saints have waited for more than ten years, and now that the vacant positions have been filled, it is estimated that the next step will be the highlight, and they want to sacrifice all the ghosts of these villagers.

I don't know what's going to happen, but it sure can't be good.

When the two saints walked down the steps slowly, Chu Yuan lowered his voice and said to me quickly: "When the female saint approaches you later, you insert this token into her heart."

"Can you do it?"

I was a little nervous, the female saint gave me a very serious feeling of depression.

At this time, the villagers who stood up moved one after another, and walked slowly towards the front of the main temple from under the stage.

Chu Yuan was a little anxious, and said in a low voice, "You must do what I say, and I will find a way to deal with that male saint!"

I was trembling a little nervously, and tightly clenched the paper-cut token hidden under my sleeve. At this time, the villagers had already moved. In order not to reveal the truth, I could only follow along and walk forward.

Chu Yuan diverged from me at this time, and we were separated by some distance.

Standing at the front of the line were two saints, who were constantly inspecting the people who were walking towards the stage.

I've only walked two-thirds of the way, and I feel a little out of sorts.

The feeling of dizziness that was about to suffocate rushed towards my head one after another, making my vision begin to go black.

I endured it, held the token tightly, and when I walked in front of the female saint, I imitated the movements of those villagers and stopped to face the female saint.

The female saint stretched her neck, leaned her head and stared at me closely with her scarlet eyes, as if she wanted to see something wrong with me.

But after looking at it, I didn't notice it. I relaxed my vigilant look and waved my hand. That action seemed to make me follow the ghost of the villager in front of me.

I know this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, such a close distance, I am afraid that there will be no chance to get close later.
