Chapter 144 Village Church
Chapter 144 Village Church
Tiny flames lit up outside the wheat fields, and the chirping of insects and frogs filled the ears.
The deer-headed man lay quietly on the ground. He didn't know the cause of his death until he died. The blood flowing from his chest dyed the ground red.
Outside the village...
Shi Hui and Horod crouched down and slowly walked out of the village, but there was no other sound around except the chirping of insects and birds.
rustling...
Shimei gradually became disgusted with the chirping of insects and frogs. After all, if you could hear these sounds quietly in a place where people live, there must be something fishy.
She took out a monocular telescope from her bosom, stood up and looked into the distance. Through the telescope, she saw stone houses and thatched houses scattered here. The houses here were generally short, only more than two meters high, and some were even lower than the lime.
After careful observation, she found that only a few houses had dim lights on, but she did not see any human figures.
During this period, villagers did not care about orderly and planned construction, but rather believed that whoever occupied the land owned it.
This also resulted in the houses being built without planning and proper distribution, all of them being built in a messy manner around, which made it difficult for the lime to find the correct path.
"The houses were so haphazardly built that it was impossible to discern anything from them... I did find a church, but it was so large it was hard not to notice it."
Shihui put away the monocular with a complicated look on his face.
Hearing this, Horod nodded and said, "This place is indeed problematic. I'm afraid those villagers who surrounded us are not good people. If you plan to go deeper, there will be considerable risks."
"Risk?" Shihui grinned, as if he had heard a huge joke: "Unless they catch those monsters, they really can't threaten me!"
The lime has now expanded slightly, which is inseparable from the system's praise. In addition, there are no zombie crows and ghouls nearby, which makes her feel more secure.
But what she said was indeed true. If Lime went alone, there would be absolutely no problem.
With all her magic skills, how could she worry about not having enough space to use them? As long as she used the magic with the least consumption to kill more people and gain more life, then she would definitely make a profit.
Horod squatted in the wheat field, raised his head to the right, and looked at Shishi's arrogant expression.
"You'd better be careful. Even though we've walked out of the Black Forest, I still have a feeling!"
"What premonition?"
"I have a feeling it's going to come for us!"
lime:"……".
After a moment of silence, Shi Li's eyes twitched as she thought of a sinister plan. She lowered her head and looked at Horod kindly.
"It's too dangerous for you to stay with me, old man. You should go back by yourself. I can go in and investigate alone. If they are a cult, then I will..."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and drew a line across her neck. The meaning was self-evident.
"What if they're all good people?"
"Then they are lucky!"
Horod's eyes, which were once as sharp as a cheetah's, no longer had any toughness. After staying in front of a more terrifying existence for a long time, even a lion or a tiger would restrain their temper.
After all, the person in front of him was really moody. Not long ago, the villagers had just pointed out the direction of the village when they were chilled to the bone by the monster in the shadow of this woman.
Even now, the warm feeling of blood splattering on my face and the cruel scene of my beating heart being crushed are still lingering in my mind.
Even Horod himself felt a little physically uncomfortable. He really relied on his age to show off his knowledge and experience, and thought he had seen a lot.
But the guy in front of him kept breaking through his psychological defenses.
"Then...you should be more careful..." Horod really couldn't say anything to express his worry. He was more worried about the safety of the villagers than the safety of lime.
At this time, a whirlwind blew up in the field, carrying the smell of soil.
"Thanks for caring!"
Shi Hui put one hand on her waist, her long silver hair fluttering in the wind, stirring people's hearts, and a half-smile appeared on her cold face.
That seductive smile is like the most vicious Black Mamba.
Even Horod, an old man over fifty years old, was a little dazed, and his silent heart began to beat.
However, his reason made him react quickly and he immediately dismissed all the thoughts in his mind.
'Has this crazy woman gone completely crazy?'
For some reason, Horod felt that the other party had undergone a huge change in a very short period of time.
That feeling is more evil and arrogant.
This made him begin to suspect that she had schizophrenia, which was why her personality was so unpredictable.
Horod slowly stood up, brushed off the dust on his legs and pants, turned around and walked back the way he came.
Shihui watched the other person completely disappear from his sight before turning around.
She had already observed the general situation in the village. With the magic eye, these houses were completely transparent to her, and she could immediately detect if there was someone in the house.
But the most critical problem is that there is no one in the village.
This also made her wonder if there was something wrong with the Demonic Eye, or if these people had a way to isolate themselves from the Demonic Eye's observation?
Shihui tiptoed to the eaves of a house and listened to the sounds around him by sticking close to the wall.
"They could have sent villagers to intercept the train, but they didn't leave anyone behind in the village, or were they too exhausted to disperse and search for prey?"
While she was thinking, she had already walked to the edge of the stone wall. As her tall long legs moved out from behind the wall, she heard the whimpering of the dogs in the dog pen.
“Woooooo~~~”
Several black dogs in the dog pen stood up one after another, shook their bodies, and looked around vigilantly.
'so close! '
Shihui immediately retracted her legs and pressed her back against the wall to avoid being discovered by the dogs, which also aroused her curiosity about the village.
"They actually have this trick up their sleeve. That's incredible! If I hadn't reacted quickly enough, I might have been exposed! These cunning people are quite scheming."
"I might as well just use Vanish to get through..."
As soon as he had this idea, Lime immediately gave it up. Although Vanish Without a Trace can conceal one's body, it does not mean that it can block out smells.
Thinking of this, she raised the back of her hand and smelled it, and the faint fragrance penetrated into her nostrils.
'I smell pretty good.'
Although Shishi doesn't like to wear perfume or anything like that, she has a strange scent on her body, which might be smelled by these dogs.
"It seems being a beautiful woman isn't always a good thing..."
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
Just as Shihui was hesitating, a deafening bell rang from the village. Stimulated by the bell, the dogs and horses all started roaring.
'Chance! '
Shi Hui was delighted and immediately cast his magic.
"Evanesco disappears without a trace"
In a flash, her figure completely disappeared, and she quickly ran towards the church at the innermost part of the village.
When passing by the dog pen, the faint fragrance of Shihui's body immediately stimulated the black dogs. They barked like crazy in the direction where she disappeared, but the sound of the bell drowned them out.
This ancient church is completely black, the big bell on the roof is still shaking, and the walls are full of traces of erosion by time.
It was precisely because the huge building, more than three meters high, was particularly eye-catching in this village that lime was able to find its destination quickly.
'found it! ’
The church was brightly lit and bustling with people, and the noisy voices of the villagers could be heard everywhere.
"Sacrifice! Sacrifice! Sacrifice!"
She held her breath and tiptoed to the church door. The door was half-open, and she could see the villagers inside through the crack.
After carefully crawling in through the crack of the door, Shi Hui even breathed extremely weakly and carefully, for fear that he would be discovered by this group of people.
When she saw the whole picture of the house, she couldn't help but gasp.
The entire space inside the church was covered in blood with strange symbols, densely packed fonts and scratches everywhere.
Candle lamps made of human heads are placed next to the wooden pillars on both sides of the house.
There were also absurd sacrificial items made from human organs and flesh. Their limbs were knocked off and they were tied up, and their internal organs were remotely controlled and stuffed with a large amount of hay.
These scenes constantly stimulate Lime's heart.
The expressions on the faces of these top-notch people, both men and women, were distorted with extreme pain.
There were wicks stuck in the heads hanging in the middle of the pillars on both sides, and the flames burning from them emitted a foul stench.
“It’s really… getting more and more crazy…”
Shihui couldn't imagine what kind of inhumane torture these people went through after being caught.
But this kind of thing can be seen everywhere in this crazy and absurd world, which inevitably makes the burden on Shi Li's shoulders heavier.
At this time, all the villagers stopped making noise, and their silence was strange and bizarre.
"Welcome to the Pope!"
