"So this is the basement where the actors obtain their abilities … …"
The underground area did not have the complex maze-like structure of the mansion.
When the elevator came down, it faced a straight path.
The wall lamps on both sides were filled with skulls with red candles. The audience who had been beheaded here continued to display their remaining value even after death.
After passing through the passage, they arrived at the sacrificial area in the basement.
It was a spacious "hexagonal" room with an area of about 200 square meters.
There were six such passages and elevators, each leading to different areas of the mansion. This made it easier for the actors to bring their prey to the basement for the sacrificial ceremony.
1. There was a huge wardrobe made of ancient wood by the side wall. Large amounts of blood stains of different ages were left at the corners of the wardrobe or seeped through the cracks of the door.
2. In the middle of the room stood "ten demons" holding bowls.
3. A huge stone heart hung in the middle of the room. The blood vessels on the surface of the heart were connected to each demon statue.
The most terrifying thing was.
The headless bodies of the old butler and Baron Holly were stuck on the horns of two of the demon statues. Their blood had already dried up.
When the two saw the scene in front of them, the first thing they thought of was to destroy the statues.
However, destroying the statues was not easy at all.
Random destruction could trigger a trap or alarm.
Moreover, these statues were not made of ordinary stone. The surface of the statues was overflowing with a strange scarlet luster.
It was basically impossible for an ordinary person to destroy them. Even if they found a tool like a chisel, they would not be able to destroy them in a short period of time. Once the actors were attracted, they would be dead.
The investigation was still the priority.
Miss Ferma carefully observed these demon statues. She seemed to have a certain understanding of sacrificial ceremonies.
Mr. Voss walked slowly around the wall like a cat. He tried his best to memorize the details of the scene in his mind. He tried his best to convey a 100% perfect view of the scene to Han Dong. After that, he could do whatever he wanted.
Miss Ferma walked around the statue and stared at the stone heart. She suddenly remembered something that happened a long time ago.
"I seem to have seen these ceremonies before … … It should be more than ten years ago when I followed the smugglers to the stronghold.
A group of "Participants of Fate" met at the stronghold.
The group of smugglers was forced to fight against this group of unknown people.
At that time, I was hiding in the dark. At the end of the battle, although this group of participants killed all the smugglers, they were almost exhausted and seriously injured.
Just as they were resting and recuperating,
One of the Sorcerers in the group suddenly attacked his companions, depriving them of their mobility and using the smugglers' corpses to construct a Demonic Altar.
He hung his companions one by one on the skeletons of demon statues and used some kind of sacrificial ritual to absorb their abilities.
It should be similar … He would be able to directly absorb the other party's characteristics, abilities, and even Fate comprehension, greatly reducing his own cultivation time. Although it is extremely evil, this sacrificial ritual is truly shocking.]
At this moment.
Meow ~ A cat's meow interrupted her memories.
Although Mr. Worth couldn't communicate with her, his sharp eyes told her everything. Someone was coming!
When they wanted to escape from the basement through other passages, they found that the doors of all the passages were locked. It seemed that they had come to the underground area with the actor. The other passages would be closed to ensure that no one would disturb them during the sacrifice.
Helpless.
The two of them could only hide in the "wardrobe" set up on the side wall.
When they opened the wardrobe, a strong rotten smell hit them in the face.
Hanging inside were headless corpses, which belonged to the poor audience members who had been sacrificed in previous performances.
Due to the different years,
Some of them were still in a bloated and rotten state, and some had already turned into white bones. Coupled with the fact that they had been fermenting in the sealed wardrobe for years and decades, one could imagine the smell inside.
But the two of them had seen all kinds of scenes, so they could barely hold it in.
However, the wardrobe was full of corpses, and the space was very limited. If the two of them hid in the same wardrobe at the same time, there was a high chance that they would be discovered.
Mr. Worth had to move to another wardrobe as fast as he could … Click! The door closed.
Through the gap of the wardrobe door, they could barely see the general situation in the sacrificial area.
The only thing they needed to do now was to be quiet and pray that the actors would not check the wardrobe.
Based on the current situation,
The actors would not waste time checking the wardrobes where the corpses were stored.
The "demon-hunting team" formed by Han Dong had already made him feel threatened.
There were only two audience members left, so he had to seize the time to gain as much power as possible.
"Is that … the nanny?"
Looking from Ferma's perspective.
The actor quickly dragged a woman and hung her directly on the devil's long horn.
The severe pain woke the nanny up, but unfortunately, her eyeballs had been destroyed. She could only wave the poisoned dagger in the air and scream in pain.
Such a scream did not make Ferma feel uncomfortable. Instead, it made her very happy. The louder the scream, the less likely she would be discovered.
Until the blood filled the bowl and the container.
Whoosh!
The head fell to the ground.
Ferma just looked at all this silently, hoping that the actor would leave quickly.
At this moment, a strange scene happened.
When the actor Matthew drank the blood, "Thump!"
A loud heartbeat was heard throughout the basement. This also reminded Ferma of the specific details of the past. She had also heard a similar heartbeat.
But she had already escaped and did not see the subsequent process.
Currently.
The actor Matthew was in a state of "tensed up body."
The prominent blood vessels on the surface of his body were clearly visible. The venom from the nanny was being absorbed and absorbed by him.
Blood slowly oozed out from the left side of his chest.
A heart with a mouth structure actually took the initiative to drill out. Upon closer inspection, the blood vessels were like limbs of the heart, supporting the heart to crawl out of the actor's body.
The heart that came to the outside world began to breathe regularly, receiving the nutritious blood delivered to it.
It seemed to be the real core of the absorption ability.
"Mr. Han's guess was right. This guy's weakness is the heart, or even the main body is the heart.
The actor is just a shell, and the heart is the controller? No, they seem to be still talking … "
Just when Ferma wanted to hear the conversation between the two.
The protruding heart suddenly stopped talking. An eye grew on the surface and stared at the wardrobe where Ferma was.
The actor Matthew also turned his head.
"Why?! I didn't make any sound. "
Ferma was ready to fight to the death.
One step, two steps, three steps …
The actor came to the wardrobe and stopped for about three seconds. When he was about to reach out to open the door, his face suddenly changed. It seemed that something urgent had happened and he quickly left the basement.
