The abyss invades, I control the power of darkness

Chapter 166 Sacrifice, Vacuum Base, Great Sacrifice

Qin Jinnian is naturally no stranger to the ruins. After all... he was killed twice in a row in one day, both of which happened in the ruins.

Ruin No. 3 is somewhat similar to Ruin No. 4. After entering it, you will see large tracts of buildings.

Through the information of the red-robed man in Ye Xue, Qin Jinnian already knew the origin of these buildings... They were a 'silhouette of the present world' from the past time and space, which was recreated and solidified by the abyss during the blood moon.

I don’t know which city in which time and space in the past...

The entire city was shrouded in the fog of the abyss, but in Qin Jinnian's eyes, there were only some inconspicuous black fireworks at the edge of his vision, without any obstruction.

Not long after he entered the ruins, he discovered traces of some super warriors... They were all working in a group, hiding in the ruins of the ruins, and hunting down some monsters that were also hidden in the ruins.

After Qin Jinnian watched them from afar, he ignored these super warriors and began to fly deeper.

He saw a lot of monsters along the way, but he didn't stop...

This time he came to hunt.

But the prey is not these monsters.

Finally, after about half an hour of progress, Qin Jinnian's eyes suddenly moved and he looked in one direction.

Then, his brows frowned slightly...

……

……

"Mom...I'm afraid..."

In the dark fog that filled the sky, Gao Yujie held her daughter tightly. Her eyes were full of confusion and dullness, and she walked in this fog with one foot taller and one foot shorter.

It wasn't until her daughter's sobs kept ringing in her ears that she quickly tightened her arms around her six-year-old daughter.

"Guoguo, don't be afraid, mom is here, mom is here..."

She soothed in a low voice.

Her daughter's mood stabilized a little under her comfort, but her little hands trembled tightly as she hugged her arms, buried her head in her arms, and secretly looked ahead.

"Mom, where are we going?"

"..."

Gao Yujie didn't know how to answer this question.

Because she doesn't know either...

Just half a day ago, she should have been at her best friend's birthday party.

but now……

She looked at the black fog in the sky with a blank expression...

Her best friend invited her three days ago, inviting her and her family to attend her birthday party today.

That was her best friend who had known her for more than 20 years. The two had been best friends since junior high school. They had not let go of their relationship after they got married. Naturally, she had no reason to refuse her warm invitation.

In fact, her husband had something to do in the afternoon, so she also forced him to attend the birthday party with her.

Her husband was a little helpless, but under her strong request, he still turned down the afternoon entertainment and agreed to her 'unreasonable' request.

This put her in a good mood throughout the day.

She is very satisfied with her life... Her family is not particularly rich, but they still have enough food and clothing. My husband runs a small company by himself, which is not large in scale, but the income is not bad, with an income of several million every year.

She and her husband were childhood sweethearts. Her husband was three years older than her and he had doted on her since childhood.

Her parents-in-law and mother-in-law had known each other for a long time. When she got married, her mother-in-law never asked her to cook or wash clothes once. Occasionally she would argue with her husband, but her mother-in-law would always stand by her side and suppress her husband ruthlessly...

She also has a lively and lovely daughter. Her father-in-law and mother-in-law do not have any patriarchal ideas and regard their daughter as their heart treasure...

She is not a greedy woman, she enjoys her life. Her daily routine is to catch up on TV dramas, go shopping, and then learn a lot of various food recipes on the Internet, and hurriedly operate them at home with her mother-in-law... In the end, she makes a bunch of "dark dishes" and "stabs" her husband , which made my husband and father-in-law dumbfounded... Finally, the family went out again to enjoy real food.

What else is there to pursue? Isn’t this what a woman wants in this life? She loves her and her beloved husband, her parents-in-law who love her, and her lovely children...

She felt very happy.

I always feel that this kind of happiness will definitely last.

but……

but……

Gao Yujie's eyes gradually became blank.

Even though more than an hour had passed, she was still a little confused...

It feels unreal.

It was around three o'clock in the afternoon when their family arrived at their best friend's birthday party, at their best friend's villa.

In addition to their family, there are also some friends of her best friend... She basically knows all her best friend's friends. But what was a little surprising was... most of the people attending her birthday party this time were people she didn't know.

This made her somewhat confused... When did her best friend meet so many 'strangers'?

But before she could express her curiosity, her best friend complained to her that originally she only wanted to have a family dinner, but her family took the opportunity to call all their business partners over... But her best friend told her not to worry, she Say they talk about theirs and we play about ours.

Her best friend's husband was also a businessman and his conditions were good. When she heard this, she suddenly realized that she didn't take it to heart.

Then it was just a normal chat with my girlfriends until dinner started.

Everything was normal in the early stage. Her best friend knew that she didn’t drink and prepared her favorite drink for her. Her husband stayed with her throughout the whole process and took care of her daughter. The daughter is also very obedient, sitting obediently, looking around curiously with her big eyes, while eating the food fed by her father.

Everything is normal.

Until she felt a little sleepy.

This sleepiness came without any warning.

In a daze, she saw her husband swaying too, and then he plunged into his daughter's bowl...

The daughter seemed to have already fallen asleep.

She turned her head in confusion. In the last moment when her consciousness fell into coma, what she saw was the expressionless face of her best friend.

When she woke up again...she had appeared in a dark world.

The long mountains, the desolate environment, and the vague roars of beasts made her confused.

Before she could even figure out what was happening, a cold voice sounded.

The cold voice told her that if she wanted to survive, she should be quiet and not make any noise.

At this time, she realized belatedly that there was far more than just her beside her.

At least hundreds of people appeared here.

They are all women...

and also……

child.

The sound of children crying woke her up.

Where is your daughter? !

She looked around in a panic, and the scene she saw... was also the reason why she still felt unreal.

She saw her daughter, who was crying, her hands covered with blood, and pushing a figure next to her...

That's her husband.

This husband always looks at her with a doting smile. When he is stabbed in the back by her delicious food, he will deliberately show a look of fear to tease her. Every time he goes out, he will hold her hand tightly.

But at this moment, he was lying in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open, and the expression on his face was a look of horror that she had never seen before...

he died.

At that moment, she felt that her brain went blank, and something seemed to collapse in an instant.

Then, her emotions fell into an indescribable confusion and unreality.

The surrounding sounds seemed to become hazy all of a sudden, as if the whole world had a sense of alienation.

Then she realized...it seemed that her husband was not the only one who died around her, there were many others.

At this time, the people who were still alive around seemed to have discovered the corpses.

Then, the world suddenly became chaotic.

Some screamed, some were hysterical, and the whole world was filled with screams and cries.

Until, a cold voice sounded, telling them to be quiet.

The next moment, a flash of fire suddenly appeared out of thin air. The person who cried the loudest was swallowed up by the fire, and his screams shocked everyone.

They looked in horror at the woman who was swallowed up by the flames, then screamed, struggled, rolled in the flames, and finally turned into a burning corpse...

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Only the cries of ignorant children were left.

Then the cold voice said, find your own children and tell them to be quiet. You have ten minutes.

After a brief period of confusion, everyone came to their senses in horror, and then started looking for their children.

She walked to her still crying daughter in a daze and picked her up. The daughter turned around and saw her mother, who seemed to have found her backbone and protected her. With her subconscious comfort, she gradually stopped crying.

Finally, the daughter asked her why her father ignored her... The daughter was only six years old and did not understand the meaning of 'death'.

She herself was still confused and did not respond to her daughter's inquiry. She just stared blankly at her husband's face...

Then, she couldn't remember what happened.

She only remembered that she mechanically followed the guidance of the cold voice, trudging through the wilderness, and finally entered this place full of black mist...

She looked confused and stumbled.

Every step feels like stepping on the clouds.

It's so unreal. In such an unreal world, it seems that the warm and soft body of her daughter in her arms is the only reality she can grasp...

……

……

Qin Jinnian looked at the team in the distance.

His brows were furrowed.

There were probably hundreds of people in the team, all of them women and children.

Surrounding the team, there were about a dozen people wearing black robes. These people were walking around the team and seemed to be escorting them.

And on these black-robed people, he saw a faint black mist.

The black mist on their bodies was connected to each other, faintly covering the entire team.

Just seeing this scene, Qin Jinnian already understood the identities of these people.

A blood sacrifice?

He looked at the crowd...they were all women and children, most of them looked confused, and a few looked panicked and frightened.

The children's eyes were very confused, looking around, but their eyes had no focus, probably because the fog of the abyss had blocked their vision.

After Qin Jinnian looked at it silently, he glanced in the direction they came from...

It looked like he came in from another entrance.

Most ruins have several entrances. He flew for more than half an hour, but he happened to arrive at the location of another entrance.

The space within the ruins should be much larger than the current space.

He thought to himself.

Suddenly his expression changed and he looked in another direction.

In the field of vision, a convoy appeared.

There are also vehicles among the ruins.

This has been confirmed in the previous 'unfinished' bloody altar.

There are about a dozen vehicles in the convoy, including four or five large buses, and the others are all off-road vehicles.

The people driving are all men in black robes.

If Hongpao didn't lie, then these people should be members of the Vacuum Church.

After squinting his eyes, Qin Jinnian decided to follow first.

These people must be here to pick up these 'sacrifice', and they can just follow the clues.

He has had several experiences in contact with members of the Vacuum Church. It is relatively difficult to extract a confession through rigorous interrogation.

They have extremely devout beliefs and have no fear of death. At this point, it seems to be more terrifying than Endgame and Night Blood.

Well, night blood doesn't count... After all, their god has abandoned them for some reason, which may be the reason for the collapse of the red robe's faith.

But in the end, the female academician was indeed forced to reveal some information by him.

But then he found those members of the Vacuum Sect, and almost all of them committed suicide when they were questioned... They encouraged the 'divine blood' in their bodies to self-destruct, which Qin Jinnian could not stop.

Having someone to guide him now would save him a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, he did not reveal himself, but continued to watch from high in the sky...

Sure enough, not long after, the convoy met these people. The women and children were forced by the men in black robes to get on the bus, and then the vehicle drove deeper into the ruins.

Qin Jinnian followed along and encountered some monsters along the way. But every time a monster approaches the convoy, they just glance at it and then turn away...

It should be because of the black mist on these men in black robes.

It seemed that the red robe of Ye Xue was not lying. Ordinary ruins creatures would regard evil cultists who also have the aura of the abyss as the same kind and would not take the initiative to attack.

In this way, the vehicle moved all the way along the streets in the ruins... This fragment of a world that was unknown to everyone and came from an out-of-control world had a road. Although the ground has some cracks, most places are still open to traffic.

After following this all the way for nearly an hour.

Finally, Qin Jinnian raised his head and looked ahead...

There, a large group of believers with black mist in their bodies appeared in Qin Jinnian's field of vision.

At the same time, there were also a large number of... ordinary women and children.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

……

……

This is a base built based on the original urban houses of the ruins.

There are a large number of men in black robes in the base. Some of them were on sentry duty at key locations. Some walked in the base in twos and threes.

At the same time, there were bursts of strange prayers that filled the air all the time... In some houses, people in black robes were praying devoutly. There was a small statue of a god placed in front of them. It was the strange statue with nine hands and a huge belly.

These statues feel weird just by looking at them... because they are obviously made of copper, but they feel as if they are alive...

It is completely different from the huge statue of the Night Blood Cult.

And those who were praying were all men in black robes. But you can tell just by listening to the sound...

This is a group of young children.

Although they are young, their voices are full of piety, like the most devout believers in the world.

In addition to the bases on the surface, there are also complex underground palaces underground.

There are traces of men in black robes everywhere in the underground palace, and most of them gather together to chant and pray. Others were wandering around the underground palace, as if on patrol.

There is also a prison in the underground palace.

And in this prison, a large number of people are imprisoned.

The vast majority are women and children.

They were unkempt, and most of them looked dull and numb.

And deeper still, there are altars one after another.

At this moment, these altars are empty, and there are a large number of complex symbols and patterns on the ground.

And at the deepest point, there is a huge statue of a god.

It also has nine arms and a big belly, but this statue looks weirder than all the other statues. If you don't pay attention, you can find that the expression on its face is constantly changing.

At this moment, a man in red robe was sitting on the futon in front of the statue.

He was not wearing a mask and showed his face. This is an old man who looks somewhat hale and hearty, with his eyes closed and pious, and even has a somewhat benevolent look.

He murmured prayers in his mouth, and the strange syllables showed that this was not any language that existed on earth.

Beside him, there were some men in black robes lined up on both sides. They wore masks and stood there solemnly, saying nothing and motionless.

At some point...

The praying old man in red robe seemed to have finished his prayer. Then he opened his eyes and said calmly: "Wu Sheng, has Hunxu come back?"

The body of a man in black robe suddenly trembled, and then a voice sounded from his abdomen: "Sir, Master Hunxu is still in Canglan City, and is planning to go to several altars to check the situation."

This made him frown slightly, "Is that Zhang San so difficult to deal with?"

"It's not that he is difficult to deal with, but we haven't found any information about him so far. The organization behind him called 'Breaking Dawn' is also very mysterious... Today he destroyed an altar in the end, and Lord Hunxu is worried, so I have to keep an eye on it to prevent Zhang San or the person from Breaking Dawn from destroying the altar while he is away."

"They seem to have secretly mastered a lot of information about Zhongyan... We have an altar, and Zhongyan also knows about it."

"Finally? What a bunch of trash."

The old man shook his head, thought for a moment and said, "How are the preparations for the sacrifices at the big altar?"

"It's in progress, everything is going smoothly. Five batches have arrived at the base successfully. The sixth batch is on the way... At this speed, it will not be difficult to complete the mission before the next blood moon night."

"Didn't you alert the night watchman?"

"Don't worry, sir, it's all done through the members of the congregation who have been observing it for at least five years. I'm watching the whole process. There won't be any accidents."

"It's best...'Yinzi' was taken away by the Night Watch, which alerted Daxia's senior officials and made the gods really angry. If there is another problem with the high priest...we really can't explain it to the gods."

"Yes."

"Okay, go ahead and report anything as soon as possible."

"Yes."

After the man in black robe finished speaking, he bowed and saluted.

Then his body trembled slightly and returned to calm.

The old man looked at the statue in front of him, his eyes flashing.

"Dawn breaks..."

……

Qin Jinnian looked down at the base below. When he saw the praying 'children' through perspective, he fell into deep thought.

Then let out a breath.

No wonder it is so difficult to find out the real information about these evil churches.

It turns out that their backbone is being cultivated by themselves?
