Stealing Game

Chapter 106 Death Sacrifice
I looked back at the way of retreat cut off by the light, and my intestines were green with regret.

Teacher Bai, who was bandaging my left arm, suddenly let out a "huh", and I hurriedly asked what was wrong.Teacher Bai didn't speak, he gently pressed my wound, but before I could react, his hand suddenly increased his strength.

I wrinkled my face and looked at Teacher Bai puzzled.

"Do you know it hurts? Let's see if you dare next time." Although Teacher Bai said so, his movements of bandaging me were gentle. "You are so courageous. If you really think that you are that monkey grandson, you are not afraid of being burned."

This is the first time I heard Mr. Bai speak like that, so I guess I was frightened.But I have to say that it feels good to be cared about so much, especially in an organization like 279 that doesn't take human life seriously.I quickly promised with a lost smile that I would never do such a dangerous move again.

Next, the Death Squad was reorganized, this time Karl led the way, Meng Weiqing and Boothwell took the lead, and the rest of the group interspersed with each other.Because of my "honorable injury", Teacher Bai and Li Yuan fell behind a group of twenty people with me.No one dared to stop Stephanie from the rear, so Xia Shangzhou and a Russian were at the end of the line.

I was surprised to see Kawaii-san by the dark door.Just now he was terrified by the horror of the brass earrings, and he stood on the platform of the return journey and refused to go any further. "Dr. Wang, you're right. Those who don't offer sacrifices will be punished. How can mercury be considered a metal? I'm really confused."

At that time, I was wondering whether to step over the light, so I only comforted Kawaishan a few words perfunctorily, but I didn't expect him to overcome the psychological barrier and jump into this pit of fire.I have a little respect for this Japanese in my heart.

"Dr. Wang, you're finally here, and I'm waiting for you here." As soon as Kawai Sang saw me, he came up to me.I rolled my eyes back to make sure I wasn't from the queen, so I stopped and waited for him to finish.

"Well, is it okay to re-sacrifice now?" Kawaii Sang smiled wryly. "It's just that the sacrifices of the two of us did not satisfy the gods. You saw it just now. I'm afraid the next one will be next."

"I can't say that well. If you want to sacrifice, you must first find the altar. But if you are worried, why don't you go back? I saw you on the other side just now."

"Hey, hey." Kawaii-san rubbed his hands. "I couldn't find Tempura just now, and the little Egyptian girl told me that he ran over here. I had to come and look for him. Fortunately, the offering of Tempura worked, otherwise I would be worried to death."

It's really strange that this Japanese man, who is about to lose his own life, still thinks about his cat.I didn't notice if Tempura came here, but why did Laila coax Kawaii-san over here?What are these Egyptians planning?
The brothers and sisters of the priests took one last look at the bodies of their loved ones left where they were, and continued walking, with Ali following them.

After leaving the door that had been left open, we entered another corridor.After going through a period of darkness where the lights couldn't even be turned on, some light appeared at some point.But these lights can't illuminate anything.

From the moment I entered the tunnel, I squeezed myself in the middle of the team of 279, and being surrounded by my own people made me feel more at ease, but even if Teacher Bai and Li Yuan were very close, the light couldn't illuminate them clearly.At this time, I had already lost my sense of orientation, and I didn't know which direction I was going.

Teacher Bai said that since the altar where Jacqueline died, we have been walking all the way deep underground. At this time, we are already more than 600 meters above the ground, and the road in front of us is generally going west.On this point, I have long stopped questioning Mr. Bai. Although I don’t know why, his senses are extremely keen, and his perception of the world is different from that of us ordinary people.

If this is more than 600 meters underground, I don't need to be a geologist to feel that something is wrong.Although I haven't really gone deep into the ground, it is common sense that the temperature should be higher as you go underground than outside.Even if the ground temperature field of the Sahara Desert is different from that of ordinary terrain, the hundreds of meters underground are not free, and it should feel hot no matter what.

In addition, more importantly, how did the ancient Egyptians dig such a space underground? Could it be that this is really a super large single rock?But even so, if countless passages and rooms are created in such a deep place underground, then the stone riddled with holes for thousands of years has not been disintegrated under the pressure of the formation, and it is still solid.

What's more, you have to bear more external force.

I saw Karl and the others swinging their sledgehammers at the stone gate in front of me with the light from nowhere, and thought to myself why I wouldn’t be happier digging a temple by myself without bringing a shield machine.

"If you don't want to die, don't attack that load-bearing wall now." Chang Xiao said coolly.

Stephanie opened her mouth to be sarcastic, but Boothwell stopped her.The bearded man asked, "Then what do you say?"

"Didn't the Egyptologist who was killed say it, follow the rules of the game." Chang Xiao seemed to ignore Stephanie's danger at all. He didn't even look at the murderer, nor did he look at Boothwell. . "This rule may have to be taught to us by an Egyptologist who is still alive."

All the eyes on me for a moment almost set me on fire.

I moved my lips and didn't know what to say when Patrick came out from behind me.It turned out that everyone was waiting for him to give an explanation.While I breathed a sigh of relief, I was still a little lost, and more doubts about myself.Li Yuan stood beside me unobtrusively.I looked at his quiet side face, then turned back and listened to Patrick's rules that no one else knew.Xia Shangzhou and Carl kept a close eye on Stephanie, fearing that she would cut off our only clue.

Patrick walked up to the stone wall.There was no haunting light there, and none of the lights we carried could illuminate that wall.He wasn't worried about the darkness, he stretched out his hands and groped carefully on the stone wall, standing on tiptoe when he encountered a high place.The rest are waiting for Patrick to finish.

"What was written on the wall?" Seeing that Patrick started to face the wall and meditate, some impatient people asked.

"There's nothing written on the wall."

"Then what are you doing all this time? Are you kidding us?" The man with an Australian accent was obviously short-tempered and had a bad temper.

Patrick turned his head calmly. "There has always been only one rule of the game."

We all looked at the faceless wall.

Patrick said that, like the wall broken by Li Yuan, this wall also has deep ravines.Those ravines twisted and criss-crossed, twisting and twisting into the shape of a tree.

"Then how do we get there?" Maozi couldn't hold his breath anymore.

"It goes without saying, of course it's through the sacrifice." Stephanie shook the man's face with a flashlight, and the person who was shaken didn't dare to say anything.

"But there is no altar here?"

There is an altar, and it is always in front of our eyes.

I looked in disbelief at the wall that was hidden in the darkness, and walked over to put my hands on it.Each carved branch is wider than the palm of my hand.

How much blood would it take to fill this altar?
If blood was used as a sacrifice, who would the first sacrificer ask for and what would they ask for with blood?What would happen if we sacrificed blood?
The bright light made me squint my eyes subconsciously.Stephanie came over, and behind her, the Australian pushed Hassan to the wall.Lila wanted to pull her brother, but Xia Shangzhou wrapped his arms around him involuntarily.

Now it was clear that a sacrifice was needed, either Hassan or Laila.But for the time being, no one dared to make Li Yuan's idea.From the standpoint of 279, the only thing Xia Shangzhou can do is to keep Laila.

Stephanie shook the flashlight in my face. "Don't block the altar. If you don't get out of the way, I don't mind getting rid of one more archaeologist."

"You don't know what's going to happen after the sacrifice." I stopped Stephanie, not caring if she was threatening me with death in her eyes. "And the twigs on this wall need a lot, a lot of blood."

"So what?" Stephanie actually laughed. "Why do you think you took those Egyptians with you?"

It didn't make sense with this kind of bastard who cares about human life, I turned my head and pointed at the wall and shouted at Patrick: "You tell them something is wrong! How can you need blood to open a door, then it will be done, it will be done gone."

I dare not go on.This thing is too dangerous and incredible.

"Then it becomes a death sacrifice. Use a person's whole body blood as a sacrifice, and that person's body as a bait to make the god move to the world." Patrick shook his head, his eyes pitying. "I'm sorry, but these are the rules of the game."

Hassan walked toward the wall.As he passed me, he said, "Wang Yu, that's why I'm here. Please help Laila go down, please"

Blood flowed into the veins of the trees in the stone wall.Something breaks through the wall.
