I am in the horror game, scrambling to steal the male lead's halo

Chapter 105: Sacrifice of Soul

The person outside seemed to bump into the tent, causing the entire tent to shake.

Those people didn't seem to notice whether there was anyone in the tent.

“Will I be touched?”

Qin Wei sat up straight. Although she could fight, she didn't want to fight and kill every time.

Gu Chaoxi nodded and stared carefully at the tent door that could be opened at any time.

"can."

The wound on Gu Chenyang's forehead was most likely caused by a fight with the believers of these statues, so they still have to be careful.

Regardless of whether you can beat them or not, the low area in this cave is quite spacious.

But from the glance she and Qin Wei just took, there were at least fifty believers kneeling outside, if not a hundred.

It's obviously not reliable for three people to fight so many people.

Shrinking towards Pei Yan, Gu Chaoxi nudged him with his elbow.

"If we really have to fight, is there any way?"

"No, we had to fight hard, and we didn't bring anything."

Pei Yan shook his head.

Gu Chaoxi and Qin Wei fell silent almost at the same time.

When they went up the mountain, they only carried three backpacks in total.

Pei Yan's backpack contained a tent, water and some dry food.

Qin Wei's backpack contained a thin blanket, water and beef jerky.

Gu Chaoxi's backpack contained some dry food, water, beef jerky, and a spare set of mountaineering clothes.

It could almost be said that they brought nothing with them except what they needed to keep themselves from starving or freezing to death.

Originally, Gu Chaoxi wanted to bring an ordnance shovel like Gu Chenyang, but no one in Yimo sold this thing.

She was also a little too eager for quick success.

If she wasn't worried that the other world might suddenly release information about another dimension, she wouldn't have thought of exploring the mountains so soon.

Gritting his teeth, Gu Chaoxi shrank towards Pei Yan again.

It’s not that she was afraid of going out to fight, but she thought it was better to avoid trouble than to worry about it.

The three of them sat quietly in the tent without saying a word until the sounds of fighting outside gradually grew louder and then gradually became quieter.

It seemed like a century.

Qin Wei moved his arm, took out his cell phone from his inner pocket and took a look. It was already past midnight.

"So fast!"

She clearly didn't feel that time passed so quickly!

Pei Yan moved his legs.

Just now when Qin Wei moved backwards, she pressed on his legs, causing him to remain in the same position without moving, and now his legs are a little numb.

Gu Chaoxi opened the tent door and looked outside.

There were believers lying on the ground scattered everywhere. The clothes they were wearing were different and they looked like they were not from the same place.

"They must have come from far away to worship."

The only thing they have in common is that there is a red five-petal flower printed on the back of their right hands.

Gu Chaoxi walked out of the tent. It was very quiet outside, as if everyone had just been "sacrificed" in this way.

She touched the back of one of their hands with her toes and saw the five-petal flower on it.

It doesn't look like an ordinary one, but rather seems to be an iconic symbol designed independently.

In the middle of the five-petal flower is a triangular symbol drawn in yellow.

There are small white dots on each of the five petals.

Qin Wei and Pei Yan also walked out of the tent, looked around, and walked towards the front of the goddess statue.

With so many believers, there must be one or two winners.

Sure enough, there was a person kneeling next to the cushion right in front of the goddess statue.

His body was dirty and covered in blood, but his waist was exceptionally straight as he knelt. His lowered face was obviously stained with blood, but it could not hide the corners of his lips that were raised.

He seemed to really believe in the God before him.

"I think I know what the last paragraph says."

Qin Wei rubbed the back of his hands, feeling the warmth of his palms, and couldn't help but curl his lips and sneered.

She couldn't quite understand the meaning of the last paragraph of the long text just now.

But seeing the current scene, it is not difficult to understand.

"The last paragraph roughly means that the tribesmen who survived and continued to reproduce did not give up worshipping the gods."

"At the end of each year, they would send a representative from the family with the blessings of family and friends to pay their respects to the gods."

"However, the gods are unwilling to help so many people and only accept the worship of the most outstanding person."

"So, the tribesmen who came out started fighting each other. They all wanted to receive the blessing of the gods."

Gu Chaoxi looked at the person kneeling there. His body was so stiff that he could no longer move, as motionless as a sculpture.

He sighed, not knowing whether it was out of regret or a chuckle.

"God did not save him either, but he sacrificed his soul instead."

In the eyes of many gods, being able to liberate their devout believers is the greatest favor they can give them.

It seems that the god before us is just like this.

However, just as he finished sighing, the believers in front of him began to disappear one after another.

It's like the smoke and dust on the ground, which is blown up by the wind and gradually disperses into the air.

Gu Chaoxi looked at it, and his eyes fell on the face of the goddess statue again. The red on her forehead seemed to be brighter than before.

Squinting her eyes, she looked carefully.

There seemed to be something floating in the deep red on the forehead.

"It's a bit like the five-petal flower on the back of their hands."

No wonder I felt I had never seen that thing before, it turned out to be her symbol.

Silence once again enveloped the three of them.

"I think there shouldn't be any other accidents tonight. Go to bed early and we'll go down the mountain tomorrow morning."

Pei Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't find anyone to vent his frustration to.

Qin Wei glanced at him, as if he had seen through him, but he also lowered his head and walked back to the tent.

What can they say now? Blame themselves for the unfairness of fate?

Gu Chaoxi looked at the statue of the goddess and thought of Gu Chenyang again.

He said, if you don't know what you are facing, then just move on.

There is an old saying that goes, "When the sun goes down, there's always a new world to behold."

She thought that the fog before her eyes would eventually clear and the moon would appear.

With his eyes lowered, Gu Chaoxi walked towards the tent with an expressionless face.

There seemed to be a slight breeze in the air, and something tiny brushed against her cheek.

She looked back and saw nothing.

There was nothing in the empty cave except a statue of a goddess standing there.

Gu Chenyang is not here.

But it doesn't matter, I will meet you again, no matter how.

"Chaoxi, take a rest and don't think too much."

"it is good."

She gathered the thin blanket that Pei Yan had draped behind her, smiled at him, and lay down on her side.

Qin Wei reached out her hand and gently shook it to encourage her.

She shook his hand back, feeling the warmth of Qin Wei's palm, and her heart also warmed a little.
