Some memories are always painful. You want to escape, but you can't forget them. This kind of memory is probably the thorn in the human soul.

That night of crazy sacrifices was probably a thorn in Uncle Wei Jun's soul, but for many people in the town, it was the first miracle!

"I think you also saw it, right? That illusory ship, the joy that actually made people panic, right? That night was the first time those things appeared." Speaking of this memory, Uncle Wei Jun's

His expression became very painful, and my emotions followed his pain, as if I had seen the scene of that night.

Among the people kneeling in worship, the illusory ship appeared. With a cruel smile, Wei Donglai personally put his three still young children on the mysterious boat.

On the shore, he was the first person to be sacrificed. His body was still hanging alone on the high platform. His chest was cut open from the lower abdomen, and his internal organs were exposed. The blood had not completely cooled down and was still dripping.

fall

The person who was sacrificed was the person who was most opposed to Wei Donglai's "pretending to be a ghost". In Uncle Wei Jun's narration, he was a stubborn man. He always believed that Wei Donglai had used some method to make all this seem to happen.

After the reason for the miracle was revealed, it turned out to be a sad scam, and he was actually tied to the sacrificial altar by his brother and the most familiar neighbor.

When the worst side of human nature breaks out at some point, it would be an absolutely horrific tragedy.

"After that sacrifice, someone finally woke up. Maybe they were afraid that such a fate would happen to themselves, or maybe they were afraid that such a fate would happen to their relatives, or maybe it was just the bloody scene that stimulated their conscience. I

I still remember that night, there was such a conversation, I can never forget it." Uncle Wei Jun continued to talk.

That was a conversation when Wei Donglai took his children on the boat. The eldest child was 9 years old and a daughter. She said to her father: "Dad, I'm scared, can I not get on that boat?"

""

"Dad, after you get on that ship, will you never come back?"

"Why are you coming back? Dad is sending you to a good place."

"Dad, but will I never see grandma or mom again?" At this time, Wei Donglai's eldest daughter had already begun to cry.

But Wei Donglai held his child's hand tightly, and hinted that the other two people holding his child's hands speeded up their pace and silently 'drag' the child to the boat. Yes, they were already dragging them.

They refused to leave, and the eldest daughter started crying. They called for their relatives, familiar uncles, aunts, and neighbors, but no one came forward.

Liu Weijun wanted to stand up at that time, but unfortunately he was afraid. He was afraid that if he ruined the sacrifice this time, he would be "swamped" by the angry people around him, so he did not have the courage to stand up.

"No one is a saint, and everyone has to face their own cowardice in pain, just to follow the crowd. In a river that has gone in the wrong direction, those who can stand out are real heroes. If you can still persist in yourself, then

You can be a saint, but most people can only pretend to follow the crowd, only to sadly discover that they are just an ordinary person. That was the first time I discovered that I was an ordinary person." Uncle Wei Jun joked to himself.

Said something.

"But now you are a hero, leading a group of people to hold on." I looked at Uncle Wei and said seriously.

"Now? It's not that I am a hero, but after my father came back, I understood that if I were his son, I must bear some responsibilities, do you understand?" Uncle Wei Jun said to me seriously.

.

"Is Mr. Liu really back?" I glanced at Uncle Wei Jun in surprise. I thought that Mr. Liu had gone forever since that time.

"Well, he's back." Uncle Wei Jun said calmly.

After that night, the town completely changed. Wei Donglai became the real master of the town, and the people in the town became numb to killing people. Isn't that a sacrifice to God? That includes the town.

The government and people in various agencies were also so inexplicably tempted, completely subverting the town.

Liu Weijun had insomnia that night. He was with his mother in an empty room, completely insomnia.

The screams of the murdered man and the excitement of the bloody disembowelling put him in a trance. Not to mention sleeping, he didn't even dare to close his eyes, because as soon as he closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to see a sliver of blood.

I was also pushed by the crowd and sent to the altar

He could never forget that at the end of the sacrifice, Wei Donglai's eyes seemed to fall on him, and he grinned viciously. Such a discovery made his whole body tremble when he thought about it.

He didn't sleep that night, and Liu Weijun couldn't close his eyes during the next day, even though the whole town was extremely quiet.

Because the appearance of Wei Donglai has completely changed the whole town, people no longer live and work diligently, but become nervous and have nothing to do. Except for the necessary daily worship to the gods they believe in, they really can't seem to find anything.

to do anything.

"With a long life, can't everything be deferred indefinitely? Or is it like this! In today's towns you see, people are not engaged in production, but they can still live because they have inexplicable money to support them. I

It feels like raising animals in a pen, but it makes the people here believe in the so-called gods even more." Uncle Wei Jun explained to me.

"Money that came out of nowhere?" I raised my eyebrows in confusion.

"Yes, in addition to taking people away, the messenger will occasionally appear once in a while and deliver a large amount of money, and the money is managed by dedicated people. These people are the real 'high-level people' in the town, and the people in the town are

Being supported by such money, you can eat regularly every day. After each sacrifice, you can eat and drink as you like, and even receive a certain amount of money for entertainment. That's why the carnival night you saw happened." Uncle Wei Jun said.

The tone was very plain, but it sounded like a fantasy to me.

What kind of existence is behind this? There is even money to 'capture' people in a town? The puzzle is getting more and more complicated. I need answers, and will Liu Erye's return bring answers? I continue to listen

Uncle Wei Jun continued.

A night of insomnia and a day of insomnia put Liu Weijun in a state of complete mental collapse, and extreme panic tortured him at any time, so much so that he forgot that today was the day when his father and Uncle Lin were supposed to return.

Because I had forgotten, I had no hope, but late at night, while still suffering from insomnia, I heard the noise coming from the courtyard.

"Who?" Almost at the same time, he and his mother heard the movement outside the yard and shouted.

"It's me." Mr. Liu's voice reached Liu Weijun's ears, full of exhaustion and depression.

However, even such a voice made Liu Weijun feel inexplicably peaceful. He rushed out of the house and saw the person standing in the courtyard. Who could he be if he wasn't his father?

"Dad" Liu Weijun shouted excitedly and was about to walk over.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Liu took a step back inexplicably and said painfully to Liu Weijun and his wife who rushed out: "Don't come near me."

Liu Weijun's mother turned on the lights in the courtyard at this time, and saw Mr. Liu standing in the courtyard covered in dust, as if he had rolled in the mudflats of the Yellow River, with exhaustion and sadness written on his face, and she

In this way, I kept a certain distance from them, standing far away and watching them.

"Why can't I get close to you?" Liu Weijun asked in confusion. Because of his insomnia all day and night, his temper was not very good, and his words were full of some kind of anger.

As if to vent his anger, he took two steps forward, insisting on confronting Mr. Liu.

He was so helpless these days. His father finally came back, but he was inexplicably not allowed to get close to him. What was the reason for this?

But as expected, Mr. Liu took two steps back, and then said to Liu Weijun in a more painful voice: "Will I harm you? If I tell you not to come close, you should not come close! If you still want to be with me,

If I say something, you really shouldn’t come near me.”

Mr. Liu was in such pain and helplessness that this emotion could already be felt in his tone without even needing to explain it.

After all, it was father and son who were connected. Liu Weijun's heart ached for a moment. He finally stopped and looked at his father with tears in his eyes. Behind him, his mother began to cry inexplicably. Her voice was very loud at first.

When he was young, he started crying loudly, but in order to prevent the neighbors from hearing, his mother covered her mouth with her sleeves and just cried repressedly, filling the courtyard with a sad atmosphere.

"Guard, the town depends on you. Everyone in this town has been poisoned, and no one can escape. But you have to guard this town, you know? Guard it as the last line of defense.

Otherwise this 'poison' will spread and destroy many people. At that time, not only our town will have to face such a fate, but many places will be the same! This place cannot become a hell on earth." Looking at his son.

, Mr. Liu said this word for word.

However, Liu Weijun couldn't understand at all, what did this mean?

"There is a letter. This is what I am going to tell you. Please read every word carefully." As he spoke, Mr. Liu placed the letter on the ground.

Liu Weijun was sad and sad at the same time. He was not in the mood to read the letter, but after Mr. Liu placed the letter on the ground, he left without looking back.

"Dad" Liu Weijun chased after him for two steps, but he heard his mother burst into tears.

"Mom, why are you crying if you don't go after dad?"

"Silly son, couldn't you see it? Your father is dead, and it was his soul that came back just now!"

"What?"
