Chapter 431

Bai Liu was taken to a townhouse by the sea by the attendant.

This building has only one floor, very low but wide, with a wooden and thatched spire structure on the outside, sunny dolls and wind chimes hanging under the eaves, and a wooden frame and stone blocks at the bottom to separate it from the ground. The layer is hollowed out. When you lower your head to look at the dark area, you can feel the dampness, as if something weird will crawl out from below at any time.

The raised stones are covered with moss, and the wooden frame is also black and decayed. The moment Bailiu walked in, the floor felt shaken, which was obviously extremely old.

Walking into the house, there is a whole row of rooms built like the hot spring hotel that Bailiu has seen in reality, separated by partition doors made of pine wood and shoji paper, and the right corner of each room is inlaid A niche for placing a wooden sign, inside which is placed a black lacquered pine sign indicating the purpose of the living room, such as [so-and-such living room], or [kitchen], [living room].

Walking in the long corridor, Bai Liu could clearly hear the tragic cries and crazy laughter from the room, and the shadows of the people inside could be faintly seen through a layer of paper doors. Slumped on the ground with disheveled and half-undressed clothes, or put their heads on the ground and hit hard once and for all, or some people laughed and untied a belt from their clothes and tied it into a Put a loose buckle around his neck‌, praying to himself:

"It's fine if I die, the evil god, choose me as a sacrifice quickly, I think I will die this year."

Soon, four shadows entered the living room to stop these self-inflicted or suicidal people. The cries and laughter of these people mixed nervously, and the crying and weeping became mournful:

"Isn't it painful enough for me! What, the Great Cthulhu doesn't want to choose me!"

The little attendant led Bai Liu to bow his head and walked quickly along the long corridor. Seeing that Bai Liu didn't follow him, he turned his head to see the situation where he was sitting next to her, so his eyes followed, and the smile on his face became Reluctantly got up:

"Oh yes, I don't know Bai Liu, right? Now each sacrifice has four people who are in charge of maintenance and management. When I was there before, there was only one person, and the sacrifice that collapsed later More and more people have been added to the town to control sacrifices, making it much more difficult for everyone to flee and seek death."

"The sacrificial children living here are very... sympathetic." The little attendant said this in an unclear tone, "I have been selected as the successor of the evil god, and I can no longer be a sacrifice."

After finishing speaking, the little attendant lowered his head and continued to walk forward: "Come with me, there is not much time to rest, and they are gone."

Passing through the winding and long corridor, the little attendant finally led Bai Liu to a very old room. The wooden hanging sign next to the room read [北原川太], and the little attendant tiptoed to remove the wooden sign and replaced it A wooden sign was hung up.

Bai Liu looked at the replaced wooden sign and became [Royal Boat White Six].

"This is the name plate on the houseboat when I made sacrifices. I kept it all the time, and I'll use it today." Kitahara Sota opened the door muttering, and the huge humidity in the room rushed in, " This is my room, if ‌ wants to rest here, I will replace the room with ‌'s nameplate."

This is a very damp and narrow room. A narrow tatami mat is laid in the middle of the floor. A set of old bedding is placed on the tatami mat. A wooden tray is placed about half a meter apart from the bed. Uncleaned oil stains can be seen on the surface, which should be wooden mats for eating. The tatami is facing a small mahogany desk about 40 to 50 centimeters high.

On the wall next to the desk, there is an embossed style, colorful sea wave map, in the center of the waves is a shrine-style ship floating, and the flag of the ship is hung on the mast. The flag was shaken by the sea breeze and was only half covered, but Bai Liu could still recognize it as an inverse cross flag at a glance.

Kitahara Sota is still rambling: "If you want to occupy a Japanese-style room here to rest, you must hang a wooden sign with your name outside, otherwise the supervisor here will take it as your name outside the houseboat later. Sacrifice, if you are unlucky and the child happens to be on duty to go to the ascetic room to practice, then he will be dragged to the ascetic room to practice..."

As he spoke, he suddenly paused, his gaze fell on the inside of the paper door he pushed open, his face lost all blood in an instant as if he had encountered something unbelievable, and turned pale .

Bai Liu followed Beiyuan Cangtai's line of sight, and found a piece of paper pasted on the inside of the paper door—【Because the sacrificial Beiyuan Kui practiced bitterness has reached the standard, today the Beiyuan clan's bitter room practice is handed over to the sacrificial offering Sota Kitahara executes. 】

"Xiaokui...you have reached the standard in practice." Kitahara Sota reached out and took off the notice informing him to go to the ascetic room to practice. His body trembled so badly that even his voice trembled, " I only went to practice for half a day yesterday, are you going today..."

"Practice in a bitter room." Bai Liu knelt on the ground, looked up at Beiyuan Cangtai, "What is it?"

"Oh yes, when Bai Liu was a sacrifice, there was no ascetic practice." Beiyuan Cangtai also naturally knelt behind Bai Liu, straightened his back, raised his head lightly He hooked the tether around Bai Liu's ear with his ‌‌finger, and his tone was as light as his movement, "‌After being arrested from fleeing abroad, the houseboat has been rectified, and it's all a regular ascetic practice. "

The dark cloth belt tether fluttered to the ground, and Bai Liu's long hair slanted down, hanging down to the waist.

Only at this time did Bai Liu realize that his hair was not half-long like the outside world, but was tied inward so that it was only half-long.

"It's been five years since I left the houseboat and became the successor of the evil god. The successor of the evil god is responsible for the sacrifice of the gods. The body, hair and skin are all the property of the gods. You can't trim your hair at will, and your hair is unknowingly broken. It's already grown so long..." Beiyuan's ‌ pointed through Bai Liu's long hair, and muttered to himself suddenly, "It's even longer than a girl like Xiaokui..."

Bai Liu turned his eyes to Bei Yuan who was kneeling behind him: "Although Bei Yuan Xiaokui has the same surname as you, she is not your younger sister or elder sister."

"No, Bai Liu has really been away from the boat house for too long, and even forgot where our surnames come from." Bei Yuan shook his head amusedly, he took a wooden comb from under the pillow, knelt back behind Bai Liu to comb his hair, "The surnames of our sacrifices have nothing to do with ourselves."

"Move." Kitahara Sota gently held Bai Liu who was about to turn his head, and carefully combed Bai Liu's hair, "I will punish you when I see you, Mifune."

"I haven't forgotten." Bai Liu looked straight ahead and said in a calm tone, "This surname is the surname of the person who chose our town, right?"

"My surname is Yufune, I should have been the sacrifice of Yufune at the beginning, and both Xiaokui and Xiaokui have the surname Beiyuan, so it proves that they are both sacrifices of a person surnamed Beiyuan, and these two people surnamed Beiyuan should be It's from the same lineage."

The movement of Beiyuan combing his hair stopped in the middle, and he paused for a long time before continuing to comb it, humming softly.

"However, he is no longer Mifune Hakuroku, he was not successfully sacrificed, and became the successor of the evil god. He is no longer a sacrifice, and the surname Mifune was removed from his body later. .”

Beiyuan lowered his eyes, combed the comb along the eyelids to the ground, and spoke softly and earnestly:

"He was chosen by the master of the evil god. There shouldn't be any signs on his body other than the master of the evil god. The surname Yufune is not worthy of it."

Beiyuan picked up a tie, hooked it from the left and right sides of the white willow with his little finger, and hung it loosely by the ear, tied it at the end with the tie, and the last two strands were combined into one in the middle of the back of the head, hanging on the white willow's sacrificial Serve.

Bai Liu's eyes were raised slightly, and she turned her head sideways towards Bei Yuan, her hair slipped from Bai Liu's cheeks with a tie between them, and curled into a lingering strand on her shoulders.

His eyelashes are long and slender, and his pupils are pitch black. When he raised his eyes, the painting of the sea waves behind Beiyuan was reflected in the dark room. The gold powder paint reflected it, as if shimmering like fish scales, Bai Liu asked softly : "Is it tied?"

Bei Yuan stared blankly at Bai Liu, and suddenly laughed: "That's really good, Bai Liu, no wonder God chose him from our bunch of sacrifices to be His successor."

Smiling and smiling, Beiyuan burst into tears as if he couldn't control himself, his eyelashes were covered with tears, his forehead rested on Bai Liu's shoulder to prevent his tears from getting wet on the sacrificial clothes, his body restrained himself and hugged Bai Liu vigorously shoulders, sobbing:

"...God is really cruel."

"Why do you want the best child among us to live in such pain that he is even deprived of the right to be a sacrifice?"

"There is only one bitter room for us in this world, but there are bitter rooms everywhere in this world."
