02 Offerings

A little red light was lit up like a candlelight, and through the gauze curtain, it showed a strange bright red. Luo Yuan's eyes exposed from the crack of the door also printed a red light, covering her suddenly tightened pupils.

The man's footsteps suddenly stopped. He happened to walk to the door where Luo Yuan was. The two of them were separated by a door. Luo Yuan could even clearly hear the man's saliva.

Fear, invisible fear, is like a gradually tightening thread in the air.

"What the hell?" The voice outside the door showed some weakness of insufficient energy.

Suddenly, a red light with a curtain in the center turned into several, and the red lights that illuminated one after another made the interior of the shrine red. The surroundings of the shrine building were covered with a few layers of curtains. At this time, the red light was shining on it, and they could clearly see a shadow inside the shrine appearing shakingly.

She...or him, walking from the darkness to the red light, her thin body, moving in a strange manner, looking at the shadows, it seemed like a long piece of clothing was dragging on her body.

The door suddenly made a light sound, and Luo Yuan's vision was blocked because the man outside the door unconsciously retreated and just blocked her sight.

Luo Yuan took a step back and raised his head, and found that the red light outside was even more intense, and she could see clearly the shadow of the man sticking to the door.

"Someone? Who is pretending to be a ghost... Guwu... Gu..." The man's cursing suddenly broke, and a vague sound came from his throat. This sound made people think a lot, and at the same time he felt creepy. Luo Yu'an looked at the water marks on the door with a little straight eyes, and could almost imagine how this large mark was splashed on just now.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp scream sounded outside, which belonged to another female prisoner. The harsh scream with fear mixed with the subtle sound made by the man when he was dying, and pierced into her ears from far or near. She could not see what kind of attack the man had just encountered, but the two people in the rooms on both sides must have seen it clearly.

Before coming here, Luo Yu'an stayed in Yulin District Prison for half a month, with death row prisoners around him, most of whom had a coldness that was more than ordinary people. The female prisoner next door was said to have committed dozens of major robbery and murder cases in ten years together with her husband, and later killed her husband because she was dissatisfied with property distribution. Such a woman is now screaming in fear.

Luo Yuan stiffly watched the figure outside the door disappear, and looked at the crack of the door that was shining through the light again, and slowly approached.

She first saw a foot on the edge of the corridor outside the door, the one left alone.

In an instant, her senses woke up, especially her sense of smell. She seemed to realize that she was holding her breath just now. After a sudden breath, the bloody smell mixed with the fragrance of unknown flowers strongly impacted all her senses.

A broken foot would not make her so scared. Half a month ago, she had seen the most terrifying scene. But the blood from the foot slowly turned into red lines and connected into the shrine. Such a strange scene was beyond her imagination.

How could blood turn into a red line? There was even more than one blood line, scattered in the shadows on the ground, and red lines squirmed on the fine blocks, as if they were being pulled and fell into the shrine.

Luo Yuan saw the strange shadows standing in the shrine. The threads were connected to him, making him look like a puppet. The puppet was pulled by the bloodline, and the shadows kept magnifying on the curtain, as if they were about to leave the shrine.

The unknown fear nailed her heart. Luo Yuan didn't dare to look anymore, but his body was so stiff that he could not move. He could only hold the door in vain, hoping that the door could protect her from being caught by the monsters in the shrine.

However, this approach was obviously futile. Accompanied by two screams and the sound of the door being knocked open, Luo Yuan felt his body lightening and flew backwards in a daze.

The door in front of her opened wide, and a few red lines grabbed her and dragged her to the terrifying world outside. The world seen from the crack of the door suddenly spread out in front of her. She saw more clearly the redness all over the ground, and the other two people hiding in the room were also dragged out by the red lines.

The woman was trying to struggle, and the man was scratching the red line on his body frantically, while Luo Yuan didn't dare to move. Her eyes were only staring at the inside of the red shrine, and she was extremely frightened.

The shadows with countless red lines on their bodies approached a curtain, and the blood-colored silk thread pulled the curtain out, revealing the true appearance of the figure.

The head was lowered, and the face was hidden under the shadow of long hair like dark flowing water. The body was completely wrapped in a strange-style white dress, and it seemed as if there was no flesh and blood. The long white sleeves beside him were dragged to the ground, and countless blood lines extended from under the sleeves.

Like a person, not like a person.

I don’t know when it started, but the entire courtyard became a cage of blood lines. Countless blood lines divided the world she saw into pieces. The white-sleeved monster stepped on the blood lines, like a white spider lying on the red spider web.

The bloodline was hung up and sent to him, covering it with a life-like sleeve. After a chewing sound from somewhere, the meat quickly disappeared.

Luo Yuan suddenly realized that the four death row prisoners came here as meat! They originally thought it was hope for life, but they did not expect it to be the abyss of death. Realizing this, she saw the monster stepping on the bloodline and going to another man.

The man struggled so hard that he shouted in a panic. Perhaps because of his "noisy", the monster chose him first.

The sleeves that had swallowed the flesh and blood were still white, covering the man's head lightly like clouds. In an instant, the gushing red turned into countless blood lines extending from under the sleeves, making the red lines in the entire courtyard even more dense.

Luo Yuan closed her eyes. She did not scream as futilely as another female prisoner. She just closed her eyes tightly, just like when she encountered something unacceptable in the past.

Then, the woman's scream stopped abruptly, and the fragrant fragrance of flowers and rust in the air became even stronger, so strong that it was a bit suffocating. She knew what was going on and what was going on next. Although she had not screamed, she couldn't help but tremble all over.

The monster approached her, as soft as a cloud, and her sleeves with an unknown fragrance of flowers floated over her.

Here comes! Here comes!

A sudden pain in the neck, as if something had been bitten. Luo Yuan imagined that his head would be bitten off the next moment, and then, like the other three, nothing could be left behind.

The pain in her neck continued, but the sharper pain she imagined did not come. She cages her sleeves and stops, and then suddenly begins to tremble.

Luo Yu'an's eyes lit up and he saw the sky above which was cut into countless pieces by blood threads. The blood threads that bound her suddenly relaxed and fell down. The monster standing in front of her suddenly bent down-

"vomit……"

Luo Yuan sat on the ground, staring blankly as the monster slowly lay on the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood. His arched back was like a spur on his back, and he had to pierce the thin layer of white clothes at any time.

After the vomiting was relieved, he was hung up by bloodline and his long sleeves were hanging beside him. Luo Yuan felt as if he had glanced at him, and then quickly retreated back to the shrine like a kite.

The bloodline around was still there, there was no sound in the quiet courtyard, and she was the only one left.

After a sudden chill, Luo Yuan got up and stumbled towards the only exit of the yard. The door was locked, and the two old ladies were heard outside the door.

"There is no sound inside. The god of clan has absorbed this time's 'evil' and will be cocooned again tomorrow."

"Well, everything you need for the ceremony is ready, don't worry."

Luo Yuan's hand, which was about to touch the door, trembled and then took it back. She finally woke up from the impact of death and monsters, realizing that if the door was knocked on now, the two people outside would ignore her and would even kill her.

She didn't know where this was, but from all she saw and heard from the time she was sent here, she could know that it was a secret and ancient, privileged special existence, and that it was as simple as crushing an ant to kill them.

Unable to escape, and in these four courtyards... Luo Yuan turned his head and looked at the traces on the ground in panic, and the dark rooms. She could not escape at all, and there was no place to hide in the room. As long as she waited until tomorrow, she might be found. They would kill her, or send her back to Yulin District Prison to wait for the original ruling.

At this moment, Luo Yuan suddenly remembered her sister. Her weak eyes and weak steps became firm again.

"No, I can't die yet."

Dawn breaks.

Ghost month, fifteenth day.

The full moon still hanging in the sky was a little red. Two gray-haired women opened the courtyard door with red lanterns, preparing to prepare for the rebirth ceremony of the God of the Family as every time before. However, what caught my eye was not the empty courtyard, but the blood line in the courtyard that had not changed since last night.

"Bang--"

The red lantern rolled to the ground and started to burn quickly. Under the burning fire, the two old men's faces were stiff and white, "How could it be!"

"Why haven't the god of clan started to fall asleep yet?"

The three blood stains in the courtyard were very obvious. They could see them with a glance, but they could not find the last trace anyway.

"Oh no, something went wrong with the offering this time!"

"How could such a mistake happen?"

"Hurry up and let them send more sacrifices, so you can't waste any more time!"

In a panic, the gate of the courtyard was closed again. After a while, the gate of the courtyard was opened again. Luo Yuan, who was hiding in the dark space under the corridor, heard the sound of messy footsteps above his head.

It seemed that a man was tied up and placed in the corridor, leaving the footsteps of sending people away, followed by a long period of silence.

Luo Yuan hugged himself and curled up tightly, with his eyes wide open, watching the sunlight shine through the gaps in the corridor, and red liquid dripping down the gaps.

"Tick, tick..."

Luo Yuan lay until her whole body was stiff, and finally moved her fingers in the long silence, trying to move herself out of here. She carefully poked her head out of the gap below the corridor and saw that the entire yard was empty and the bloodline was gone. The sunlight at about three or four o'clock in the afternoon illuminated most of the courtyard, and the gorgeous shrine building in the center was bright and brilliant in the sun.

If it weren't for the bloodstains nearby, she would almost think that last night's nightmare was really just a dream.

Suddenly, there was a noise at the gate of the courtyard. Luo Yuan quickly hid herself back. She heard several people coming into the courtyard, each of whom was very silent and tried to move lightly. The two old ladies lowered their voices and said:

"You must find that person!"

"She has influenced the cocoon of the clan god. She can no longer let her disturb the clan god rest here!"

"Everything is faster. Even if the god of the clan has already started to 'slept', it cannot disturb the god of the clan for too long."

"Miss girl, what should I do if I find someone?"

"Kill."

These cold conversations were above her head, and Luo Yuan trembled for a moment. The fear of being found and killed at any time and anywhere made her try to curl herself into the gap. But she knew very well that the yard was only so big that she would be found soon.

Turning his desperate eyes to the shrine, Luo Yu'an had a crazy idea in his mind - what if he hid it in it?
