Chapter 182: Song of Sarah (7)

Xiao Lan regrettedly gave up her boyfriend's plan to add meals.
It is a non-human being, but it is a picky eater.
He turned to the bishop's burning stone and started searching for the "Stone of Forgiveness" mentioned by Wang Teddy.
Xiao Lan had noticed before that there were some red shimmering stones scattered around the altar. These stones looked different from the surrounding ones, and it was probably their goal.
With memory, Xiao Lan picked up a stone.
[Name: Stone of forgiveness of sins]
[Abilities: Used in the forest of conversion, you can leave Sara’s Song, and the pardon rate is 20% (this item only works in Sara’s Song)]
[Explanation: Sarah will forgive your sins that broke into his territory]
"20%?" Xiao Lan frowned, "How come this thing has begun to play with the probability set."
As a non-chief, he expressed resistance. The last "Emperor's New Clothes Version 2.0" with a trigger effect of 20% made him still remembered. After getting so long, he actually triggered only one injury reduction.
At this time, Luo also came over and handed him a stone.
Xiao Lan took a look and it was also a [Stone of Amnesty], but the rate of forgiveness was as high as 98%...
Well, it turned out that the halo of non-chiefs was over his head.
With Luo's European emperor's physique, the two found a few reliable stones around him.
Xiao Lan collected all the stones and was also puzzled: "Where is the forest of conversion? If you are not in this forest of conversion, players will not be able to leave."
"Maybe something here can bring a little clue." Luo pointed to the side wall.
Xiao Lan walked over and found that many patterns were drawn on this wall. Because of the remote location and the light, he did not find it for a while.
The pattern is drawn in dark red.
I only used lines to describe, and outlined a simple picture, even without coloring, I can see that it is drawn scribbled.
But even so, this level of painting can hang a soul artist.
The first part of the mural painting is a forest.
There is a group of ragged people in the forest. If you look closely, you can tell that they have many disabilities and alienations like the residents in the town.
These people are all walking in the same direction, and they seem to have the same goal.
Their looks seemed intoxicating, as if they had heard some wonderful music.
Xiao Lan said: "They are...pilgrimage?"
Luo nodded: "Looks a lot, you look at their expressions, does it look like the people in the town who say Sara's singing is beautiful?"
Xiao Lan recalled: "Maybe they heard Sarah's call before going somewhere together."
Luo: "I think so."
Going forward, you can also see these people kneeling.
The posture is the same as the crowd that Xiao Lan saw shortly before, looking stiff and weird.
Not only did they bow down, but some people sat down and cut their limbs with sharp objects.
There are even those who directly took up their weapons and started against their companions.
Blood splattered out, and there was no expression of pain or fear on their faces, still a frenzy.
Although the picture is just simple lines, under the superb skills of the painter, this strange scene is very vividly depicted by him. It seems that he can smell the blood at that time and the crazy feeling that haunts the crowd.
"..." Xiao Lan frowned and went on.
There is a mural in the middle that seems to have peeled off due to the age and lack of protection, leaving only a bare wall.
The debris on the ground has long disappeared after years of trampling.
So that what was drawn in this section, I am afraid that only the other people who painted it at that time would know.
To the very end of the mural.
The wall above is a wall. This wall is very long, and it looks like a labyrinth.
On the wall are people-body in various poses, their movements are twisted, their limbs are struggling, as if it is painful.
But the look on his face was indeed pleasing, and looking at their exaggerated smiles, it could even be said to be ecstatic.
Xiao Lan roughly counted, and the number of people on the wall was significantly less than that of the previous pilgrimage.
It should be what happened on the way, so that they will be downsized.
The missing mural in the middle probably describes this link, but unfortunately it cannot be seen.
Underneath the mural is written in scribble---
"Pious people will be guided, and after the test of conversion to the forest, they will be glorified with Sara at the wall of sacrifice."
"We must be religious enough to be rejected by Sarah."
"Someday, Sarah will see our loyalty."
Xiao Lan looked at the mural: "Is this "integrated with Sara" mentioned by the hotel owner before?"
The final destination of these crazy believers in Sara is this wall of sacrifice.
They wanted to dedicate themselves to Sarah as his sacrifice.
Luo supported the jaw with one hand: "I didn't expect it to be literally'melted into one'."
Xiao Lan said: "This is simply a "martyr" wall..."
He didn't want to go up at all.
Judging from the text left behind, these people in the altar probably belong to the kind of "unqualified sacrifice".
After they returned to the town, they decided to hold a sacrifice to prove their piety to Sara.
But in the end Sarah did not guide them to the wall of sacrifice again, but they became such immortal monsters.
The murals recording the selection process of sacrifices have been peeled off, leaving Xiao Lan unable to know what happened in the conversion forest.
There are no records in the murals of the criteria for judging the sacrifice.
Xiao Lan always felt that Wang Ke's whereabouts might be related to this sacrifice wall.
Because even the [Stone of Amnesty] that can take the player out of the game field must be used in the forest of conversion, perhaps this is also a way to guide players to the wall of sacrifice.
Where is the convertible forest?
According to the murals, only devout believers will be guided.
But they are not religious at all, and even want to beat each other, will Sara really give them guidance?
Now the bishop had burned almost, and the light became dark again.
At this moment, the sound I heard before sounded again.
Xiao Lan's consciousness was chaotic for a moment, and there seemed to be many flashes in front of him.
Happy childhood, Xiao Chengyan's wine glass, Luo's throat knot, Tie Han Han gnawing, Father Michael's fart-share...
"..." Xiao Lan covered her head, what are these messy things?
However, Sarah's song seems to have an increasing influence on him.
It was just a trance before, but now there is already a picture, which may directly become a illusion to a certain extent.
That would be troublesome.
Thinking of the crazy player he met before, Xiao Lan thought it would be better to leave the game field as soon as possible.
He didn't want to be a lunatic who loved self-mutilation.
"Sir?" Luo came over with some worry.
Xiao Lan shook his head: "I'm fine, the clues here are almost the same, let's leave here first."
Xiao Lan took two steps forward and found Luo did not keep up.
Turning back, I saw Luo's brow still frowned.
He suddenly laughed and walked over to reach out and touched the other person's face. He said jokingly, "This gentleman, don't be unhappy if you look so handsome."
Luo held his wrist and smiled helplessly: "You know what I'm worried about."
Xiao Lan looked at him: "Relax, but I want to accompany you to turn the world upside down, so that I won't fall here. Let's rescue Wang Ke earlier and then leave here?"
Luo's dark eyes are like deep pools. He looked at Xiao Lan as if he wanted to brand him in his eyes.
Suddenly Luo turned his head and gently kissed the palm of Xiao Lan who was caught.
His lips were soft, with a burning temperature, as if a brand fell on Xiao Lan's heart.
Xiao Lan's heart shook suddenly and couldn't help but recall the feeling of kissing these lips...
Luo's hand violently pulled Xiao Lan to his side.
Surrounded by warm arms, Luo's arms force the person firmly in his arms.
He leaned his lips against Xiao Lan's ear and swept the warm breath across his ears, bringing up a burst of numbness: "I will also accompany you, sir."
Xiao Lan reached out and hugged him: "Then we'll say it."
"Well, that's it," Luo said softly.
After finishing his speech, his lips fell on Xiao Lan's earlobe, and he bit him gently.
This is not heavy, but with a burning sensation on the lips, accompanied by a slight pain, it seems that it can reach people's hearts more than a soft kiss.
Xiao Lan felt a burst of hot enthusiasm from the earlobe, and instantly spread across the entire face as a prairie.
Xiao Lan's movements stiffened.
Luo has let go of him, and his tone has returned to nature: "Come on, sir."
Xiao Lan quickly took the opportunity to rub her face, trying to rub down the disobedient heat, she couldn't help but feel lucky that the light was not good at the moment.
A non-human being who feels too young, what did he learn during this time?
The two walked out of the area of ​​the altar, and Luo also easily withdrew the shadow.
At the next moment, there were dense figures in front of them, almost face to face with them.
It's stab-too exciting.
It seemed that something was sensed, and the whole "person" of the altar came.
They stood there, their faces numb and stiff, and their empty eyes stared straight at them, which made their backs cool.
The first thought that Xiao Lan flashed was-
Lying-slot! There are so many viewers! It's a public sentence! !
Excessive shock made his face not red at all.
However, these guys can't feel Xiao Lan's mental activity at this moment.
After all, Luo's black shadow clearance is still very reliable, even if they can't describe it inside, they won't be discovered by people outside.
Even if they find out, these promising townsfolk who are addicted to cults will probably not be interested in the sour dog food of dogs and men.
They just felt the passive breath of the altar and raised their stiff arms one after another, attacking them.
This posture cannot escape unless it is invisible.
Although Xiao Lan does not know how to stealth, he has mastered the traditional skill of physical stealth.
In an instant, Xiao Lan had a black blade in his hand and rushed to the surrounding crowd with Luo.
In the small town of Mona, it was already dusk.
Old priest John sat at the door of the abandoned church and prayed, hoping that the two strangers who had entered would come out safely.
Suddenly, the ground shook, and there seemed to be some monsters ruining the ground unscrupulously.
Just when he was unclear, two figures rushed out of the ruins of the church.
Against the light, John saw two strangers.
The person who has spoken to himself seems to be carrying something.
"I found this below, maybe you will want to see it again." Xiao Lan handed John the cross on his shoulder.
This is what he saw in the passage when he came out. The cross fell on the ground, covered with dust and gravel, and was piled up with other garbage.
John saw tears in his muddy eyes when he saw the cross.
He didn't mind the mud on it and cried silently with his forehead against it.
For too long, he has not seen everything related to the Lord for too long.
Xiao Lan crouched in front of him: "If you have a chance, you should leave here. I think God will also hope that his followers will be happier."
John's tears were all over his face. He looked at the cross in his hand, gently rubbed his thin fingers, and nodded silently.
I don't know what he will do in the end.
Farewell to John, Xiao Lan and the two returned to the hotel.
On the way, the town was still so run-down, and the residents still kindly greeted them how long these strangers could live.
Several people had previously agreed to exchange information at dusk.
At this moment neither Wang Teddy nor Qi Ning has returned yet. Xiao Lan and Luo had to wait in the room first.
Looking at the sunset outside the window, Xiao Lan couldn't help but trance.
The town is full of weirdness and madness. Against the background of the surrounding fire, even the setting sun looks a bit more daunting.
Is it human or here?
When it was getting dark, Teddy Wang finally returned.
He didn't look good, he had a few more scars on his body and a little blood stains, it seemed that he had experienced some fighting.
"Have you started?" Xiao Lan asked.
Wang Teddy nodded: "I found the bodies of several players today, which have been dead for a long time, but the traces should have been killed by fratricidal killings, but unfortunately no useful clues were found on them."
His face was a little heavy: "But I met... Liang Si'an, the traitor in my brother's team, he came in early. I chased him and moved a few times, but I still lost it, this guy Can really hide."
Wang Teddy suppressed his anxiety and restlessness, and tried to keep himself calm.
The appearance of this traitor made him feel extremely urgent.
But he did not find any clues related to Wang Ke.
Xiao Lan told him the clues he found today.
And when it comes to my analysis: "I suspect Wang Ke may be chosen as a qualified sacrifice, and it is on the side of the conversion forest or the sacrifice wall. After all, the unqualified sacrifice will be returned to the town. In this case, we There is no reason to find him."
Wang Teddy's fingers clenched nervously: "Sacrifice..."
Xiao Lan comforted him: "With your skills, he must not be dead."
Wang Teddy nodded silently.
At this time, Xiao Lan took out the [Stone of Forgiveness] they found.
He threw two stones at Wang Teddy: "Hold, you and your brother."
Wang Teddy raised his hand and took it, showing a shallow smile: "Thanks, I wouldn't be able to save my brother out without you."
Xiao Lan said: "But we still don't know where the conversion forest is."
Several people discussed where the conversion forest might appear, but because there is no clue, everything can only be speculated.
Soon after, the sky was dark.
But the sky in the town is still red because of the fire.
Xiao Lan frowned slightly: "Hasn't Qining returned yet?"
Wang Teddy said: "It's not right, he doesn't look like a non-punctual person, is something wrong?"
An uneasy emotion enveloped their hearts.
Several people came to Qi Ning's room.
The room was as shabby as the others, except that Qi Ning changed the sheets and quilts to white, making it look a bit tidy.
There was no trace of fighting in the room, and no blood was seen. It seemed that he had never returned.
"Look at this." Xiao Lan found a piece of paper on Qi Ning's bedside.
There are many abstract wavy lines drawn on it, which seem to have a special meaning.
Wang Teddy also came together: "What is this? Password? Cipher? Qi Ning left us a clue?"
Xiao Lan pondered: "Why does Qi Ning leave us information with such a complicated method? How can he be sure that we can understand the password ciphertext?"
With that in mind, Xiao Lan turned his doubtful eyes to Wang Teddy, expecting the other party to understand, but he had the same expression on the other side as a question mark.
Wang Teddy said: "His...it shouldn't be..."
Xiao Lan stared at the note for a while, and suddenly a flash of light flashed: "What do you think Qi Ning did?"
Wang Teddy is puzzled: "Justice friends, wanted criminals who want to be killed by crowdfunding, human-body anatomy lovers, mysterious men with mosaic faces all over?"
Xiao Lan looked at his over-wisdom partner: "...No, I mean his profession."
Wang Teddy suddenly realized: "Doctor!"
The two put their attention back on the note again. You see the lines with vitality in the abstract, the writing speed as if running against death, each with a passion and unyielding spirit for life, this is not Doctor's words? !
But the problem came again.
Wang Teddy scratched her little curly hair: "Where are we going to find a doctor to interpret?"
The two saw daze in each other's eyes.
In this small town where birds don't shit, let alone a doctor, there may not even be a nurse.
They suspect that if anyone is sick here, the townspeople will only actively and enthusiastically persuade him-"Cut it off".
Superstition hurts!
At this moment, Luo on the side said: "Maybe I can try."
Xiao Lan puzzled the note to him.
Luo looked at it for a while and then distinguished it with the eyes of his artist.
His fingertips lightly touched these lines: "It says "Convert Forest", "Exploration", and the shape of the scalpel behind it is probably a mark."
"It should be that Qi Ning suddenly found some clues, but he couldn't wait for the agreed time, so he chased it alone. At the same time, he was also telling us that he would leave such a mark along the way for us to find."
The whole process looks reasonable and well-founded, and it is very convincing.
Wang Teddy quietly asked Xiao Lan: "How did he see this?"
Xiao Lan replied: "Probably...the heart between the soul writer and the soul painter?"
