I Became a God in a Horror Game: 437, Evil God Festival Boathouse
"From now on, you will live here." Yu Chuan turned his head and left without looking back, "At 7:30 tomorrow morning, you and the priests will go to the big clans in Luming County together. Where is the family?"
"Give me an overall appearance, I don't want to see any inappropriate attire or behavior."
After the imperial boat left, the [attendants] stared blankly at the rusty cages, and soon a man in dusty attendant clothes came out of the boat house exhaustedly, holding a bird in his arms. The scrawny puppy deftly pushed open the cage and got in. He turned his head and poured part of the leftovers from a plastic bag of offerings into the dog bowl, and ate the other part by himself.
The dog got out of the cage, and eagerly buried its head in the cage to eat the dirty leftovers. After eating, the dog retracted its head, and one person and one dog shrank into the narrow cage They hugged each other and fell asleep like that.
Cang Tai almost looks silly.
Soon, many attendants came out of the houseboat, giving leftovers to their pets, eating the other part themselves, curling up in cages in various postures to keep each other warm Usually sleep.
Part of the new [attendant] children backed away shaking their heads in fear, while the other seemed to have accepted the situation, desperately stepped forward and pushed open the cage door.
The old attendants took a look at the new attendants, and someone asked:
"Are you new attendants this year?"
"What is the character of this batch of sacrificial adults?"
The other children didn't know how to answer, so Cang Tai hesitated to answer:
"Their personalities are quite good..."
A servant with his back turned to everyone sneered: "The sacrificial person has a bad temper, whether he will torture us servants or not, how to tell now will depend on the assessment after half a year. "
Cang Tai was taken aback, and the other attendants said to him in a low voice: "He was in the first half of this year's assessment, because he suffered no more than his own attendant, and fell from the sacrificial offering to the position of an attendant." .”
"His attendant killed his kitten, held the corpse and cried for a whole week, and was successfully promoted to a sacrificial sacrifice in the assessment, and he was pushed down."
"But I think he can come back in the second half of the year." The attendant glanced at the attendant behind him, "Because it is said that he and his attendant are friends, and he was the sacrificial offering He never let his attendant and his attendant's cat live in a cage, and they ate and lived with him after eating leftovers."
"However, his servant seems to have a soft temper. The first thing he did when he became a sacrifice was to drive him and his dog to live in a cage here."
Cang Tai was a little surprised: "Can the servant live with the sacrifice?"
The attendant nodded: "As long as the priest is willing, you can still live with him, but..."
"There are very few sacrificial adults who are willing to do so."
Cang Tai was a little confused: "What?"
The attendant didn't have time to open it, and the attendant over there who was huddled in the cage with his back to everyone replied coldly: "The sacrifice has paid so much pain to get a houseboat. Giving a servant a place to live is simply a disrespect for the great pain I have paid."
The attendant next to him added in a low voice: "This is what this man's attendant told him after he took over the position. He said that if he was allowed to easily live in the same room as me, he would be completely sorry. Let him be promoted. The sacrifice kitten.”
Cang Tai was speechless for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Seeing Cang Tai's frightened face turned pale, the servant sighed and comforted himself: "Being a servant is not as scary as you think, we are the servants at the bottom, and there are many Treat less servants than us."
"Tomorrow, you should be brought to the big families together with the sacrificial adults for them to choose. I will rent a room for you in the houseboat, and you don’t need to live in a cage.”
Cang Tai was a little confused when he heard that: "Big family? Why should we be picked by the big family?"
The attendant was a little surprised: "Don't you know the rules of offering sacrifices to evil gods in Luming County?"
"The evil **** sacrifice here is held twice a year, divided into winter festival and summer festival, held in August and January every year."
"One month after the end of the winter festival, Mifune-sama, that is, the head of Luming County, will start to buy a new round of sacrifices and start training/teaching. After half a year, about June and July At that time, your batch of sacrifices will be considered semi-ripe, and you can be sacrificed to the evil gods on the stage to worship the evil gods. If your pain reaches the standard at this time, the sacrifice will be successful; if the pain is not up to the standard, the sacrifice will fail."
The attendant recalled: "However, from the beginning of the evil **** sacrifice to the present, at least half a year of sacrifices can reach the standard, and most of them will have to wait for another half a year to wait until the winter festival before offering sacrifices."
"Generally speaking, the probability of a batch of sacrifices being successful in winter sacrifices is much higher than that in summer sacrifices. Enter the next year's summer festival and continue to sacrifice."
The attendant shrugged: "But generally, if the sacrifice is not successful in the first year, it will be difficult to make a successful sacrifice in the future."
"Of course it won't succeed again." The attendant who turned his back on everyone had a hoarse voice, "No matter how severe the pain lasts for a year, people will still be numb."
The attendant sighed: "But if this kind of sacrifice that lasts for a long time can get rid of the numb pain and become more painful, then a certain evil **** sacrifice... It is said that the pain of a successful sacrifice will make Lord Evil God very happy, and the quality of fulfilling wishes will also improve a lot, so now many big families will deliberately stock up on this kind of sacrifice, and will not let this kind of sacrifice in the first year Kind of sacrifices on the altar."
"Beiyuan Xiaokui from the Beiyuan family is such a sacrifice."
"Luming County will distribute the sacrifices and attendants bought every year according to the contributions everyone made to the county in the previous year. goods or attendants."
"And the remaining sacrifices that were selected will be made as gifts for everyone the day before the evil **** sacrifice, and will be randomly distributed to the people at the [Ship Palace Night Festival]."
"Usually these remaining sacrifices are not so determined and inferior, it is not easy to sacrifice successfully, and most of them will commit suicide after the follow-up [Painful Practice], even if they cannot sustain it. If the sacrifice is successful, the wish that that level of pain can be traded from the evil **** is not a superior wish, so it is looked down upon by the big family."
The attendant looked up at Cang Tai: "The family that pays the most tax this year is the Beiyuan family, because their family sacrificed a year and a half of a painfully mature little boy at the winter festival last year. , I heard that he looks like Kitahara Xiaokui's younger brother, so they successfully made a high-quality wish every year."
"What is the specific wish of the Beiyuan family? Those of us who are servants don't know. In short, it is to let the Beiyuan family expand rapidly within a year, surpassing the original tax-paying family Mifune family. It has become the number one family in Luming County."
"You don't want to be caged, think of a way to be selected by the adults of the Beiyuan family tomorrow."
Whilst the two parties were talking, a group of adults in long coats came in. The group of people held a cage covered with black cloth and threw it casually at Cangtai and the others. In front of him, he said indifferently: "Some of your pets are not cured, and some are still alive. Pick them out yourself."
Cang Tai stepped forward in a hurry, opened the black cages one by one, and finally found his dying little black cat in a black cloth cage that had been thrown against a corner.
Not only did the little black cat not receive any treatment, but it became even weaker. It was lying in Cang Tai's arms and could not bleed out. Its buttocks were full of blood. Other animals in the same cage were bitten.
"[Cang Tai]!" Cang Tai looked at the blood on the little black cat's buttocks, and the other's rising and falling chest, his face was frightened, and tears fell down immediately, "How could this happen? !”
Other children's pets are not much better than the little black cat. They all emit more air and less air in.
Suddenly, the entire backyard was filled with the sound of children crying.
Those attendants lying in the cage seemed somewhat unbearable. The attendant who was chatting with Cangtai and the others stuck his head out and told them with mixed feelings: "It's going to rain outside today. Don't take the cubs in cages, they will freeze."
"If you are in contact with the priest now, please beg them to take you in."
A group of children seemed to find their way, and their eyes lit up:
"That's right, I talked to him at the beginning, the two of us tied together as a pair, I will be his attendant first, and his sacrifice is to me, if he follows the sacrifice If it falls down, I will treat him as a sacrifice, so that we can all get the treatment of a sacrifice!"
"Me too! I'm looking for her right now!"
As if they had grasped for a life-saving straw, the children ran to the front yard with their pets in their arms.
Hearing these words, the attendant's eyes were complicated, and he gave a glance at the attendant behind him before he could speak.
The attendant in the cage behind him with his back turned to him suddenly laughed nervously: "That's what I told him at the beginning."
"I said I can't bear it anymore, I don't want to suffer, but he said that he will suffer for me as a sacrifice, and he will protect me in exchange, what will happen?"
The man hugged a motionless, frozen dog tightly, and laughed hoarsely and intermittently: "My dog is freezing outside, didn't he open the door for me too?" ?”
The children who had run away did not hear this, they knocked on the doors of the sacrifices excitedly.
The sacrifices opened the door, most of them were wearing comfortable bathrobes, holding a wooden basin that was clearly soaking in the hot spring just now. With the unfinished hot soup pot and fried lobster, it looks very rich at first glance.
The pets were wearing delicate and warm clothes, lying leisurely on the plush black blankets, stretching their waists and sleeping soundly and comfortably.
The sacrifice standing outside the door was extremely sloppy, with tattered clothes and a stench of rotten food. Because of a little rain, the edge of the hair was dripping with oil-like mud He hugged a shivering dirty little animal tightly in his arms, blood was dripping down from the little animal's body.
The moment the door opened, whether it was the sacrifices inside the door or the attendants outside, the expressions and movements on their faces froze for a few seconds.
——Just a few hours apart, everyone seems to be in two worlds.
