Chapter 784: The death curse ritual (1)
“It can’t continue?”
“What’s going on?”
Hearing the words of the priest who presided over the ceremony, the other two priests revealed a look of disbelief.
What they used was the killing curse ritual recorded in the black box Codex. According to the code of law, as long as the ritual was completed strictly, there was no possibility of failure. In addition, as long as the ceremony starts, it can not be stopped halfway until the whole ceremony is over.
In theory, no one could survive their curse.
It was even more impossible for anyone to resist the ritual …
This was the reason why they dared to stay behind to snipe their opponents without fully understanding their abilities.
But now, their preparations were complete, and even the initial progress was considered smooth. However, the ritual had inexplicably stopped at a crucial point.
It can’t go on?
Amidst their bewildered gazes, they saw Lu Xin’s entire body bound by chains on the broken platform.
Round and round, it was about to wrap around his neck.
However, the chains that represented the laws of hell only wrapped around his chest a little.
Then, as if it was blocked by some kind of force, it could not go up at all …
On the other hand, Lu Xin’s eyes were still slightly closed, and his eyeballs were rolling around.
The calm expression on his face had been broken, as if he was struggling.
On the other hand, there were layers of violent and strange mental power around him, which were pouncing at them desperately.
This in itself was difficult to understand.
His opponent was already affected by his ritual, but his mental power was still actively attacking his opponent?
“I can’t hold on much longer …”
In the midst of bewilderment, the priest at the head of the table suddenly shouted with difficulty.
He pulled open his black robe with both hands and released an endless amount of pale spiritual bodies. These spiritual entities kept moving around their triangle, forming a circle formed by the spiritual entities connecting the front and back to resist the other party’s violent spiritual power.
However, his opponent’s mental power was getting more and more violent, and the spiritual body he released could not keep up.
The purpose of their confrontation with Lu Xin was to do their best to influence the opponent while under the pressure of the opponent.
Originally, they had the upper hand, and the ceremony was about to end.
But now, the ritual was blocked, and the only thing left was the confrontation of mental power.
In this aspect, they were at a disadvantage.
“Hurry, then … Then let’s skip this and directly announce his end …”
A priest realized that something was wrong and shouted in a deep voice.
however, the rituals recorded in the black box Codex are all indispensable. No one dares to skip any of them …
The priest in charge of the death ceremony was still hesitating and explained in a hurry.
if that guy wakes up again, we’ll still die …
The other priests couldn’t care less as they reminded him angrily.
“Alright …”
The priest steeled his heart and forced himself to calm down. His spiritual power calmed down, and he chanted in a trembling voice, “”Inheritance … Let’s not talk about inheritance. The last trace you left in this world is the memory of your family and friends. You …”
The mental turbulence around him changed into various shapes as he spoke.
Even the huge noise quieted down at this moment.
Just as they were about to cast an incomplete ritual on Lu Xin, they suddenly heard a loud cry.
“You’re so annoying …”
It was summer worm!
She had long noticed that something was wrong with Lu Xin.
But in this dense spiritual turbulence that filled the entire underground pit, she couldn’t open the abyss and summon her contract creature, so she couldn’t even think completely.
This strange and dense spiritual turbulence was enough to affect a person’s thoughts.
It made the human brain become a television with no signal.
However, she had the physique to enter the abyss after all, so she was more or less resistant to the spiritual turbulence.
After a period of time, she gradually regained her consciousness. She saw Lu Xin falling into a deep sleep. No, it should be said that he was dying bit by bit. She also heard the black-robed priest’s prolonged chanting in the chaotic mental turbulence …
Sensing that something was amiss, she finally steeled her heart and stepped out from behind Lu Xin.
“Chi, Chi, Chi, Chi, Chi.”
Without Lu Xin’s protection, countless bloody wounds immediately appeared on her body.
It was a dense spiritual turbulence, cutting through her muscles like a blade.
This kind of torture was enough to make anyone go crazy, but Xia Chong gritted her teeth and held on.
In this maddening pain, her little face was expressionless. Even her baby fat was slightly tensed, and her eyes even revealed a hint of a crazy smile. Facing the countless mental turbulence, she took a step forward and reached for the multi-barrel revolver on her back. Holding it with both hands, she pointed it straight at the air in front of her.
“Da da da …”
The barrel of the gun began to turn, and blue flames shot out from the muzzle. Endless bullets swept toward the three priests in the air.
She couldn’t use her abilities here.
However, she was still carrying a multi-barrel revolver on her back, which was a thermal weapon she used to face the enemy.
Ding-dong!
Countless bullet shells fell to the ground, sizzling and emitting white smoke.
Under the huge impact, summer bug was forced to retreat as she fired. She retreated to the base of the wall in a short while.
Bullets that flickered and were surrounded by blue electric arcs whizzed toward the three priests in the air.
Each bullet was a special bullet.
“What?”
It had to be said that even the three priests in the black box were shocked by the terrible firepower of the summer worm.
Especially the priest who presided over the death ceremony. He couldn’t even focus for a moment and almost followed his subconscious to escape. Fortunately, he resisted at the last moment, but the performance of the ceremony had been greatly affected.
“AI …”
Faced with such an attack at such a critical moment, the priest who was good at sneak attacks was also helpless. He turned his head to look at Xia Chong, and in the depths of his bloodshot eyes, his pupils suddenly rotated like wheels, drawing the mental power around him.
The blue flames that flew out of summer bug’s body suddenly disappeared into his fluttering black robe.
In the next moment, they flew out from another direction and headed straight for Lu Xin.
“Swish!”
However, at this moment, Lu Xin’s eyes flew open.
In the chaos, it was impossible to tell how he suddenly woke up.
Perhaps the other party had skipped a part of the ritual, causing it to fail. Or perhaps the summer bug’s attack was too loud, waking him up.
Or perhaps he was too conflicted about the inheritance and decided not to die in the end.
The last possibility was undoubtedly the smallest.
All in all, the moment the bullets flew toward him, he suddenly opened his eyes.
At first, his pupils were completely black.
The black shadows around his body were so intense that even the spiritual turbulence around him trembled. The next moment, he looked up expressionlessly at the dense and dazzling rain of bullets.
Wuwuwuwuwu …
The air trembled intensely, and the trembling reached an extreme, negating almost all the kinetic energy.
The rain of bullets suddenly stopped in mid-air, as if someone had pressed the pause button.
The next moment, all the bullets fell to the ground like a storm.
At the same time, the black particles in Lu Xin’s eyes faded and he regained his senses.
He took a deep breath and lowered his head to look at the black chain that had wrapped around his neck.
This time, he didn’t use his strength to tear it apart. Instead, he tried his best to sense his body.
Sure enough, in the position he sensed, the Black Hand chain instantly and quietly collapsed. It was actually very simple.
Lu Xin turned to the three priests in surprise.
“Is this group of people holding a funeral for me?”
they held a funeral for a living person and awakened some thoughts in the living person’s heart …
Did he already understand what the other party was doing?
What the other party had just performed was a ritual to completely erase a person from this world.
A person’s death.
From the time his life left his body, to his funeral, to the throbbing and uneasiness in his heart, to the division of all his inheritance, to the time when he gradually disappeared from his memories, and then, this person no longer had a trace of nostalgia for the world …
When he no longer had any lingering feelings, he would truly be calm, or rather, he would disappear.
It was difficult to resist such an influence.
This was because the change in his feelings and thoughts had been slowly growing in his heart.
Just like that funeral …
To a certain extent, could it be that he had seen such an illusion because he had such a desire?
To die as a human …
.. The only thing that didn’t match his expectations was that he thought he would be burned!
“Sinister!”
Lu Xin, who understood this, also realized the danger he was in.
He took a deep breath and the black particles in his eyes suddenly trembled.
The black shadow beside him suddenly rose like a Black Tide and was directly lifted to the dome of the deep pit.
Then, as if he had really transformed into a tall and trembling giant, he looked up at the three terrified black-robed priests. From the black shadow, huge black hands reached out dozens of meters away and grabbed at them.
At the same time, summer bug felt that the spiritual turbulence around her had calmed down a lot the moment Lu Xin woke up.
After taking a deep breath, she picked up her revolver again and shot into the air with Lu Xin.
The bullets whizzed through the air and Lu Xin’s Black shadow swept toward the three priests.
The two of them stood at the edge of the broken platform. On one side, there were violent black shadows, and on the other side, there were rows of blue electric bullets. Their attacks were so powerful that it made people tremble. The three priests opposite them were completely suppressed by the two of them.
as expected of an intermediate investigator from the central city …
Lu Xin couldn’t help but turn to look at Xia Chong in shock.
Those were special bullets …
If Lu Xin remembered correctly, a bullet like this cost two hundred Yuan.
The summer worms were actually used for cover fire?
