The darkness of the night shrouded the desert that they could not get out of. There were already 54 people trapped here.
Earlier, some had tried to walk in different directions but they all ended up back at the starting point. They could only accept the fact that the space was warped and sealed.
At this moment, these people were scattered around their cars in twos and threes. Among them, only about 20 people listened to Catherine's call to not run around. They gathered their cars at the side of the road and used their headlights to illuminate a visible area. They were wary of any changes that might happen at any time.
"Do you know something?" Mr. Jackson asked the masked man, he already knew who the mastermind was.
The masked man's gaze was terrifying and the purplish red skin that was exposed showed that he was not a person to be trifled with. Some of the people even suspected this group of people to be the culprit behind all this but how could they possibly have the ability to do so?
"I know a little but there are many more that I don't know." Gu Jun said as he frowned and looked up at the night sky.
He could feel the moon and stars dimming, the wind chilled and he could hear singing coming from the distance …
"Do you hear that?" Gu Jun looked around at the surroundings that were lit up by the headlights. "There is singing."
Peacock, Malachite and the land's travellers were the next to hear it. Then it was Kathlyn and Tom who heard it. Finally, all the normal citizens heard it. A clear female voice sang a foreign song. It was a strange language but the people could understand what the female voice was singing.
Where did the singing come from?
The panicked citizens looked around. The headless bodies on the desert were still motionless in the darkness. Were they … singing?
Be it Kathlyn or Peacock, they could see the space around them rippling. It was changing, merging with something but the flickering phenomenon was blurry.
"Ah …!" Suddenly, someone cried out. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson and the rest of the people hurriedly looked over, only to see the bald, tattooed man stagger to a spot in the desert and kneel down. There were also a dozen or so people who didn't listen to their advice and ran around. They also seemed to have lost their souls and knelt down one by one in the desert.
These people's heads were all turned towards the transmission tower.
Above the transmission tower, there was only one bright star left in the night sky. Its yellow light spread and invaded the entire night sky.
Gu Jun suddenly understood why the wounds on the corpses were so neat and there was no trace of blood splattering … it was because they had been decapitated after being petrified.
The bald, tattooed man and the others were next, but they weren't the only ones. Everyone who had received the yellow secret talisman was a sacrificial offering.
The yellow secret talisman was a death notice.
"Don't listen! Don't listen to this song!" Gu Jun yelled at the bewildered crowd, "It's stealing our minds!"
He had to end this ritual immediately to change everything. The black shadow had led him here, so he was the variable.
"Take care of yourselves!" Gu Jun told Peacock and the rest before rushing off in a certain direction.
At the same time, Holly, who was in Mrs. Jackson's arms, and the dozen or so children in the defensive circle, as well as the children from other families who had not surrounded them, began to panic.
The young faces became expressionless, as if they had been dead for a long time. They sang along with the clear female voice:
"Stranger is the night when the black star rises,
And stranger is the moon that hovers in the night sky
But the stranger is still the
Lost Carkesa. "
…
The night sky at the lab was suffused with a yellow glow. Space was twisting and the song was loud. A figure stood before Wu Shiyu.
"The song of the Hyades shall be sung
The king's tattered clothes flapped noisily by the wind
But no one knows that it's gone.
Dark Carkesa. "
"Sister Shi Yu, listen to this song, listen to it." Zheng Jialiang blocked the way, his young face was filled with a strange passion. "It's almost done, almost done."
Wu Shiyu was not surprised when he saw it was Zheng Jialiang. However, he had no idea whether he was a traitor before he joined the Spell Department or he became a traitor after that.
"Get lost!" She took out a stun gun from her chest pocket. It was given to her by Tong Ye. She believed Tong Ye was more inclined to agree with her but he would not be able to convince himself and the others without giving it a try. However, the final outcome of the ritual was up to her.
She fired at Zheng Jialiang and the electric dart hit its target.
Thankfully, Zheng Jialiang did not evade. He should have been electrocuted but he remained standing. His face was contorted in pain but he continued to scream madly.
"You can't stop it, the whole world is responding to the brotherhood! Do you think this is the only place? You can't stop it! How sad and pitiful. You haven't come into contact with the third chapter. You haven't heard of the mystery of the Hyades Star. Your soul hasn't been to Lake Hali … You don't even know the lineage of Hastur! "
Wu Shiyu was about to charge forward when he noticed the people around him turning to look at him. They were expressionless but their eyes were glowing with a strange yellow light.
"Have you seen your yellow Amulet?" Wang Ruoxiang asked.
"Have you seen your yellow Amulet?" Xue Ba asked.
"Have you seen your yellow Amulet?" Lou Xiaoning, Chen Zuodong, Gao Yi, and the rest asked.
Wu Shiyu's heart buzzed like he had just received a heavy blow. He tightened his grip on the stun gun. Everyone was affected …
It wasn't tonight, and it wasn't because of this ceremony. Perhaps everyone had been affected from the moment they started studying the scriptures. Especially those who had encountered the source of power in the third chapter, those who had the 'Study Syndrome'. They were not traitors but their will had been affected.
If there was another organization plotting, hinting, and manipulating behind the scenes … That so-called "Brotherhood"?
Was it Tong Ye, Wang Ruoxiang, and the rest's decision for this to happen, or was it the result of hypnosis?
If she did not have the kangaroo, how would she have been affected? Would she have fallen into madness?
All of a sudden, some of them raised their guns …
"No, wake up!" Wu Shiyu screamed. "This is not you!"
She suddenly perked up and noticed that Cai Zixuan was struggling. He was not affected by the second chapter because he did not mention the yellow Amulet earlier. Cai Zixuan's facial muscles were twitching. His voice was almost drowned out by the singing. "Shi Yu, run … It's not Tycoon Jun …"
But she heard it. She also felt pain. Yes, it was the pain of the smell of formalin.
Wu Shiyu instantly understood that under Wang Ruoxiang's cold face, there was still a struggle of self-consciousness.
It was just like how Tong Ye had given her the stun gun while the whole thing was going on.
The ritual was not over yet, so they had not completely lost themselves!
…
The night sky was drowned by the yellow light. The children's singing became louder. More people walked to the desert and knelt before the transmission tower.
"Take care of yourselves!"
Peacock, Kathlyn and the rest were lost. The Jacksons and the rest of the citizens were calling for their children in panic.
After saying that, the nightmare man charged towards the red truck on the road. The car was about seven or eight meters long, and the open top of the car was filled with goods covered with canvas. Compared to the cars around it, it looked even more bulky and huge.
The truck driver who had been cursing earlier was already kneeling in the desert. No one stopped the nightmare man from boarding the truck.
Gu Jun climbed into the driver's seat. The key was still in the ignition. He put on the seatbelt, started the engine, gripped the steering wheel and stepped on the gas pedal.
'This ritual has to be stopped.'
The headlights shone in front of him. Looking at the transmission tower, he shifted the gear to the maximum and stepped on the accelerator even harder. The car sped up, and up!
At the same time, Catherine, Tom, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, and the other people were confused. "What does he want to do?" "Oh my God."
They saw the truck pick up speed. It raced down the road and the eerie singing grew louder.
"The song of my soul has died.
Died silently, just like the silent tears.
Only to dry up and disappear together.
Lost Carcosa. "
Through the windshield of the truck, Gu Jun stared at the grey transmission tower that stood in the middle of the desert. It was getting closer and closer.
This was a straight road. The truck was going at 80 km/h, 90 km/h, 100 km/h, 110 km/h …
The front of the truck was aimed at the side of the transmission tower. Gu Jun gritted his teeth and pushed harder on the gas pedal!
Peacock, Malachite and Gold gasped in shock. Kathlyn and the citizens were stunned. 'Oh my god!'
Bang! The truck slammed heavily into the 30 metres tall transmission tower …
The windshield exploded and so did the headlights. The front of the truck was bent in many places and the mirrors on both sides flew away. The impact shook Gu Jun's body. His bones felt like they were about to shatter and his organs felt like they were about to fly out. But with the seatbelt holding him in place, he could still see with his eyes open.
The steel beams on the side of the transmission tower were bent by the truck and the whole structure shook.
The children's singing weakened. Gu Jun gripped the steering wheel and continued to step on the gas pedal to push the truck forward! 'This stupid tower is going to fall!
'Let that Carcosa continue to be lost!'
