Chapter 66 Tell your stubbornness to go to hell
The warehouse, filled with flesh and blood, emitted a red glow, illuminating everything in front of the door, including Lu Ze's pale face.
The Abyss of Flesh and Blood, in the evil rituals of the Mystic People, is considered one of the most insane and depraved. It requires the sacrifice of a large number of lives as materials, collecting their extreme painful emotions to pray for the descent of the evil god, the true creator. And the method for this ritual to succeed is simple: the more sacrifices, the greater the probability.
After that, the descending evil god will gradually grow stronger and continue to devour the lives of the entire city until it truly descends.
Only then did Lu Ze finally understand why the Aurora Society was involved in human trafficking in the Southern Continent.
"Isn't it spectacular?"
Ms. M said regretfully from the side, "It's still a bit of a pity. My original plan was to leave only the purest boys and girls for each transport until we had enough for the ceremony. Who would have thought you would find out in advance and block the transport route? I had no choice but to use all the slaves to make up the numbers."
In other words, these slaves were merely resold by the Aurora Society, and the real need for a large number of slaves lay with others.
"Where were these slaves originally intended to be transported?"
Lu Ze asked.
"They will be transported there."
Ms. M stopped mid-sentence, realizing her mistake, and smiled at Lu Ze, saying, "You no longer need to know."
brush!
She raised her hands high before the mass of flesh and blood, and devoutly chanted in ancient Hermetic:
"The Creator of all things"
The ruler behind the veil of shadows
The fallen nature of all living beings!
As she called out the name of the revered one, all the mouths on the fleshy mass chanted in unison.
"Lord! Great Lord!"
May your will cover the earth.
May all depravity be born for you.
The mass of flesh began to writhe rapidly and split open in the middle, creating space for a person to sit down. No, it should be said that a fleshy chair appeared in the center of the sphere of flesh, waiting for a lucky person to sit on it.
The lucky winner's expression at that moment wasn't very pleasant.
Lu Ze could feel the illusory sound of ocean waves echoing in his mind, and his body, which had been controlled by Ms. M's golden eyes, had regained its autonomy. Meanwhile, the woman continued her ritual, still praying to the fleshy ball, unaware that Lu Ze had broken free of her control.
What should we do next? Fight back and kill her?
When this idea popped into his head, despite the critical situation, Lu Ze almost laughed at himself.
Me, taking on a shepherd all by myself, really?
So, did they really intend to run away after all?
Mr. Azik's bone flute is hidden in his chest pocket; the undead creatures he summons should be able to hold them off for me. Ms. M is at a crucial moment in the ritual.
In the instant that Luzer considered leaving, his eyes involuntarily swept over the three Night Watch corpses on the ground. Lady Daly's familiar smile was gone, Leon, whom he had just met, had his head shattered, and Edward's mean and hateful face was still frozen with anger.
I'm just a nasty guy with little sense of duty as a night watchman. Besides, Edward and I have a grudge against each other.
He then saw on that mass of flesh, countless innocent people facing pain.
How selfish I am! What do other people's lives have to do with me?
As the mass of flesh wriggled, a face that had been hidden in the blind spot came into Luze's view. It was a very young girl with a cute face, and her eyebrows and eyes seemed somewhat like Cecilia's. Next to her was a slightly older boy, and the two looked quite similar.
Even though it had become part of the ritual, the boy's limbs still tightly protected the girl, just as they had when they were alive.
If Luze hadn't been able to travel through time, the Londohr siblings would probably have met the same fate.
Lu Ze stared blankly at the two young faces, feeling a sudden rush of anger to his head.
Damn it, damn it!
Kill her! Kill her!
To hell with her stubbornness and her obsessive-compulsive tendencies!
Whatever the reason, whether it's the frustration of being constantly manipulated, the retaliation of having no way to escape, or revenge, I just don't like this crazy woman. I'm going to kill her, kill her!
An unnamed rage burned within him, yet the cold touch of the bone flute against his chest reminded him to remain calm.
Think, think quickly, what can I do to kill her!
Could we use a ritual to frame her, like we did with Lanius before?
Yes, I have the bone flute. She doesn't know that I've broken free of control thanks to the cheat. If the summoned undead creatures can control her for a little while, it might work.
But what if Ms. M uses a body double again?
She's not just a stand-in; she likely possesses many more abilities that I'm unaware of.
Screw it! So what!
Resisting will only lead to death, and being obediently played with and used as a sacrifice will also result in death. At least I should cause her some trouble and splatter her with blood!
Having made up his mind, Lu Ze no longer hesitated and looked coldly at Ms. M.
Her recitation was nearing its end.
"Great Lord! Please accept the sacrifice of your humble servant, and for now, in this wretched body, descend into the world to guide our way."
The mass of flesh trembled, and a lofty and insane will suddenly descended, as if an invisible giant eye had appeared above the dark and ignorant void, scrutinizing everything underground.
"The Lord is coming."
Ms. M's voice trembled with extreme joy and excitement as she asked, "Lu Ze, what are you waiting for?"
She was gesturing for Lu Ze to sit down.
Yeah, what is Lu Ze waiting for?
He nodded, stepped forward, as if he really wanted to enter the flesh and blood.
However, just as Lu Ze passed Ms. M and his gaze was blocked—
His left hand swiftly reached into his robes and retrieved the bone flute that he had kept hidden there, concealed by a wall of spiritual energy.
Place it to your lips and blow hard. No sound is made, only the spiritual energy within your body pours out like a torrent!
"Creak—"
With a sickeningly loud opening sound, a bronze gate suddenly appeared behind Ms. M. The gate opened, and a giant white skeletal hand shot out from it.
Ms. M was completely focused, thrilled by the arrival of the true creator's will, and had no idea that Lu Ze, who was already under her control, would do something like this. Before she could react, she was firmly gripped by the giant skeletal hand!
A colossal skeleton stood behind the bronze door, its eye sockets gleaming with an eerie blue light, exuding a powerful and terrifying aura.
"you!"
Ms. M exclaimed incredulously.
Lu Ze had no time to check the effect of the bone flute. He took another breath, pressed his lips to the flute, and continued to blow. From the depths of the door, another pale, rotting eye emerged, each eyelash burning with pale flames. It floated out and stared at Ms. M, whose body stiffened abruptly, unable to move or even speak!
"Throw her into the meat!"
Lu Ze felt that the spiritual energy within him was no longer enough to support the next breath, so he shouted to the two undead creatures that looked to be of high status.
Without hesitation, the enormous skeleton made its move, throwing Ms. M's beautiful body into the fleshy seat.
"Ahhhh! Lord!"
The moment they made contact, the flesh eagerly burrowed into Ms. M's body, seemingly wanting to merge with her. A mysterious and terrifying will enveloped her; she was almost instantly buried, with only her face remaining outside, unable to escape!
A mixture of joy and anger welled up on Ms. M's face. "My lowly body is unworthy to be your vessel. Please put me down, and I will replace me with a better one!"
Some of the flesh obeyed her words and retreated, but another part remained entangled and was difficult to separate.
Kill her!
Seeing how effective the two undead were, Lu Ze couldn't help but shout.
But when he turned around, he was dumbfounded. The bronze gate had already closed, and the two undead had only given him a helping hand before leaving!
grass!
He cursed angrily, not daring to delay, and turned to rush into the warehouse. He used the ritual dagger to cut his finger and pressed it against the magic circle on the floor, attempting to modify and disrupt the ritual!
Even though we could run away now, screw it!
Blood seeped through his fingertips, touched the patterns on the ground, and twisted slightly, transforming into different designs.
Lu Ze sensed the feedback from the magic circle. The good news was that the magic circle could indeed be modified; the bad news was that the modification might take a minute or two. By then, Ms. M should have broken through!
"it's useless."
Ms. M also noticed his efforts and said with a smile.
Seeing that Lu Ze was focused on making changes and completely ignoring her, she struggled to pull an arm out of her flesh and pointed it at Lu Ze as if it were a pistol.
"Bang!"
An air bullet pierced Lu Ze's chest, but he didn't even glance at Ms. M, continuing to scribble and draw with his head down. Through the hole in his clothes, it was clear that his tattered wound had begun to heal.
"You blasphemous bastard!"
Anger flashed in Ms. M's eyes, and her thin, beautiful lips parted slightly, as if an invisible disease was spreading through the air. Not long after, Lu Ze began coughing and developing a fever, as if he had severe pneumonia.
His vision was blurring, and his fingers were weak, but Lu Ze persisted, because this was all he had left!
However, even with his best efforts, he couldn't finish revising the magic circle before Ms. M escaped. She had already broken free of half her body from the flesh and blood, with only one foot remaining, and her expression gradually stabilized. He, on the other hand, still had a small portion of the magic circle to complete.
Lu Ze gritted his teeth and persisted for some reason.
"You've already worked very hard, you deserve praise."
Ms. M spoke in a gentle yet cruel tone, reaching out her hand to Lu Ze.
"Thump."
Just then, a muffled sound caught Ms. M's attention.
Outside the warehouse door, the battered Captain Edward knelt on one knee, his right hand gripping a black, semi-transparent, gem-like cane, and struck the ground with difficulty and effort.
