Chapter 253 Sacrifice
"Get out of here quickly." Before Qianye could finish his speech, Shi Ziye immediately pulled the captain's hand and ran away.
When Chihiro and Aunt Lina came outside the house, Shimiya had disappeared.
After all, Chihiro, at most, was a child who had just started practicing, and it was impossible to detect the whereabouts of the two.
"Chinoba, where is the strange person you said?"
Chihiro, the young man, asked, "She didn't see any strange guy."
Similarly, Chihiro herself didn't see it, but she could feel what was different about this dream.
"Why are you running away? She is your friend." The captain asked in the alley not far away with him with no understanding.
"Yes, not," Shi Miye's words made the captain confused. However, Shi Miye immediately explained to him, "This young body, including this ghost village, is the product of Chihiro's "karma". Although our existence has been detected by "karma", it will not attack us so quickly. Moreover, if... If you want to completely eradicate the "karma" that has been embodied, you must figure out what the crux of the mind of the person who created "karma". At least I am not very clear about the reason, so we cannot rashly contact anyone here."
After thinking about it, Shi Ziye took out another scroll and handed it to the captain: "Please take this. If my amulet fails, open this. This is a light magic, which should last for a while."
The captain didn't understand why he had to hand him the scroll.
"This "karma" is stronger than I thought. If you accidentally explode it, the amulet will not be able to bear it. At that time, I was afraid that I would not have the energy to help you, so it was just to protect you. But in the front, I did this just to prevent your master from seeing that I was the only one who went back, and then he put the shit basin on my head." Shi Miye said lightly.
"Stop kidding! Why do you choose us as a sacrifice?! There are so many tribe members who are more qualified than us!"
At this moment, the scene around suddenly twisted, and then Qianxun's voice suddenly came.
When the two of them came to their senses, they were standing outside a house.
In the house, there were many people gathered around the table, standing or sitting.
"There's no way, my child, the next sacrifice is just the special year."
Inside, an older bear orc answered Chihiro's question helplessly.
"That doesn't have to choose me and Chiba!"
Chihiro was very angry. She could clearly feel the anger coming from her brain.
At this moment, Chiba stood aside and felt a little at a loss.
"You are also very clear about the rules, right? Once this sacrifice fails, although the next set of sacrifices can be compensated, as the price of the early sacrifice, the next sacrifice must use the blood relative of the last time, which means that only you and Chiba are suitable."
The elder's eyes began to become cold. He did not expect that Qianxun insisted on refusing to enforce the village rules.
"Hey? What do you mean?"
Chihiro felt a little chill on his back.
"You two parents were the last sacrifice!"
The elder's words, like the hand of a demon, vowed to drag Chihiro into the abyss.
Chihiro's throat seemed to be blocked, without any sound.
She knew very well that she was indeed unable to resist the clan rules that had existed for hundreds or thousands of years.
The village where she grew up was not an orthodox bear orc clan, but a side-line.
For nearly a thousand years, they have been sacrificing a pair of men and women with impure blood every four years. It is said that because their ancestors were engraved behind the totem on the cliff, sealing something terrible. This way, the effect of strengthening the seal must be achieved.
The selected man and woman can be a husband and wife, brother and sister (sister and brother), father and daughter, or mother and son.
In order to ensure that there are always sacrifices, some of the bears and orcs will go to other cities to combine with other races, and after giving birth to offspring, they will return to the village, while the other part will only combine with their own tribe members to ensure the purity of their bloodline.
As for the day of sacrifice, the villagers will calculate in advance, and there will be a very complicated ritual. At the end of the ceremony, both of them who serve as sacrifices will die.
If successful, nothing will happen in the village. If it fails, the power of the seal will weaken and disaster will come.
If it fails, as the elder said, the next group of sacrifices will be given in advance. As for the next group of sacrifices, the blood relatives of the previous offerings will be selected, and unless there is no suitable person, they will be selected again.
The sacrifice chosen four years ago was Chihiro and Chiba's parents. They were only five years old at the time, so naturally they didn't remember what they had given birth to at that time, so the villagers told them that their parents died unexpectedly.
But Chihiro could still feel it, and this was not the truth.
Now it is confirmed by other elders in the village, which is undoubtedly a very cruel thing.
"I get it, we will... as you wish."
Finally, I heard Chihiro say this.
