Chapter 20 Offerings
"I, I, I, I, I said, don't kick me." Chester had already hid in the corner and cried, "After Betty chose me, the day before yesterday, the people told me that the time was about to be over. I told her that there was a relative living in a big city in the north, hoping that I could live there and I could take her with her. She originally wanted to live in the north, and was very happy to hear my promise, but she wanted to tell Uncle Dark that my plan would be destroyed, so I used the previous example of Uncle Dark preventing her from going to the north, saying that if she said it out, she would definitely be stopped again and could not go with me. She believed it and didn't know what to do, so I taught her to leave a note for Uncle Dark and then brought her here."
"Just in the room above, I knocked her out, then locked her into a secret room, and used tools to deal with prey to tear off her thighs. She woke up many times in the middle of the journey. I didn't dare to listen to her voice, so I blocked my ears with cotton. Finally, I finally tore off her legs, locked her in the secret room, changed into clothes, and went to the group therapy rally in the morning. After the rally, I kept dragging Uncle Dark with no chance to go home halfway. At the dinner, I deliberately got Uncle Dark drunk so that he would not find out that Betty was missing in advance."
"When I sent Uncle Dark home, I went directly to Neo's house. Haven't you guessed it? I killed Neo in the wild, threw Betty's legs aside, and mixed some of Betty's luggage and Neo's. I made the disguise of them running away together, and then returned here, waiting for the fact that Uncle Dark discovered Betty's missing the next day."
"I don't understand." Catherine asked, "You hurt Betty. But you said you were tempted by those two ghouls, but why did you kill Ner'o again? That's a good friend you grew up with, you said that you are even more close than your brothers. This matter has nothing to do with him. Why did you involve him?"
"I want everyone to think that Betty is with him so that everyone will not doubt me." At this point, Chester no longer concealed it with a lucky mentality and replied directly: "I have to spend some more time in the town. So I have to create an environment that is not doubted. That's why I designed such a plan to first guide everyone to think that they have run away from home. If everyone has no doubts, it will save trouble. If everyone has doubts, I induce them to find Neo's body. After finding it, they will mistakenly believe that Betty and Neo died tragically when they encountered wild animals, and no one will doubt me."
"It's a very good plan." Catherine nodded and said, "But, since you have already obtained a lot of wealth and status, why do you still need to stay in the town? Isn't it okay to let them take you away from here? This not only does not need to kill Ner's, but also reduces a lot of risks for yourself."
"They said that the ceremony will be completed smoothly after six days. If my behavior is discovered in the middle, it will lead to the failure of the ceremony and cause a lot of losses to their church. Not only will I not get the money, but I will also be punished the most severely. That's why I have to turn everyone's attention away from me and Betty as much as possible so that I can have enough time to perform the ceremony. I didn't want to do this at the beginning, but they reminded me to find a way to divert my sight, so that I chose this method."
"Oh, by the way, you have to use a specific person to a specific range." Catherine patted her forehead and suddenly said, "Since that's the case, I have no problem. Do you have any other questions? If there are still questions, it's best to raise them now."
"I have something to ask him privately." Panis's explanation just now made Dak's old father feel more and more frightened as he heard it. He was unwilling to imagine what his daughter had experienced, but all kinds of imaginations could not help but appear in his mind. It was just that the unique perseverance of the Xueyuan people and the habitual awe of high-level professionals made him barely suppress the anger in his heart. It was not until then that he clenched his fists and said, "I want to ask him, what is the daughter who is sorry for her, so that he can treat her so cruelly."
"You'd better ask me later. I'm afraid that you'll ask him to death now. Now he's still useful. You can't ask you to death so soon." Panis said: "Catherine, have you brought the things here?"
Catherine silently took out Betty's silence and handed it to Lina. Lina took it and looked at Lao Dark again, sighed and curled her lips, "I'll do my best, but... forget it, let's talk about it later, by the way, sister, I'll take this down from you, those things from the divine servants seem to be used to stop bleeding quickly, in order to prevent Zhu from dying due to excessive blood loss, there should be a matching medicine to stimulate the spirit of the Zhu, so that they will not be able to die of pain, and they will not fall into coma and madness to avoid pain. But I didn't find those, and I didn't want to find them. I'll go down first, do anyone want to go down with me? Be mentally prepared before going down. But let's forget about her, she is not convenient for men to see her now."
"I'll go." The more serious Lina said, the less anyone wanted to go. She only wanted to observe human nature, followed Lina: "I don't understand a lot about what I saw today. I hope the following things can deepen my understanding of today."
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid it will only confuse you." Lina didn't stop her, but just climbed down the ladder in the secret room and reminded her in advance: "I know you want to understand human nature, but you must remember that this person was flooded with greed and desire? In fact, he has completely lost his human nature. Observing his behavior will not make you have a deeper understanding of human nature."
The secret room is deep underground. Although the two dead people are corpses, they are legendary professions when they are alive. It is not difficult to build such a secret room in three months using earth-attribute magic. The two climbed along the ladder to the bottom. Lina raised the lantern and walked forward along the tunnel, and soon arrived in the underground secret room. The secret room was pitch black, and this ordinary fuel lantern could only illuminate a small area. However, with the light of the oil lamp, Lina walked around the four walls of the secret room, lit up several crystal lanterns on the wall at the same time, making the secret room brighter.
The layout in the secret room is very strange. There are numerous magic arrays engraved on the walls in all directions up, down, left and right directions. The dark red magic array exudes a strange aura. In the center of the secret room is an altar made of marble. The arrays around the altar are the densest, but there are no magic arrays on the altar.
There was a person lying on the altar. From the shape, she should be a young girl. Her limbs were unfolded, and her three intact limbs and dozens of nails were nailed to the altar. The only remaining thighs of the broken limbs were also nailed to death by nails. Even her torso was penetrated by more than a dozen nails. The location of the nails was selected was very accurate and just avoided all internal organs. In addition to causing pain, it would not cause any substantial damage. The magic equipment that Lina had removed before can effectively stop bleeding of the wound caused by the nails. In this way, any small movement of the nailed person would cause great pain, but it would not be truly fatal.
Betty, who was nailed to the altar, was obviously made into a human pillar. Her head was the only body part that was not nailed. However, an iron hoop fixed to the altar tightly wrapped around her forehead, making her unable to move her head. Betty's eyes had been dug out, her mouth was stretched open by a huge iron ring, her tongue was pulled out and cut off, and the corners of her mouth had been broken. Not only that, a deep wound was cut on her neck, accurately cutting off her vocal cords, not only making her unable to say a word, but even a moan was difficult to make.
Among her limbs that were stretched and nailed to death, there was an arm that was very strange in shape. If you check it carefully, you would find that every bone in this arm was finely crushed, and even fingers were not spared. Moreover, judging from the shape of the broken bones, these bones were not directly smashed, but were bit by bit by bit by bit by tools such as large iron pliers. It is estimated that time would not allow it, and the remaining arms and legs had not been subjected to vicious hands, which was a blessing in disgrace.
On Betty's body, a fine net was tightly covered. The net was made of slender but tough metal wire. At this time, each wire was close to Betty's body, allowing her skin and muscles to be evenly shaped bulges of two square centimeters in size. The perpetrator then used the stable method of the hunter's treatment of prey to cut the raised parts slowly but carefully, and the cut skin and muscles were discarded around the altar at will. At the same time, magic equipment and supporting drugs played their own role, effectively preventing the death of the human pillar and only able to soberly endure all the pain in the process.
Moreover, judging from the scene, this behavior was obviously performed more than once. Betty's front body had almost no skin or body fat, and his muscles were cut off several layers. The bones under the muscles could be vaguely seen in some non-fatal parts. But even so, her remaining muscles would still occasionally bounce slightly, and a faint breath would be emitted from her extended mouth. Obviously, she was not only alive, but also remained awake.
