Chapter 14: Loris's Ritual
Really escaped!

A ray of light emerged.

Xiao En looked up, and in the gray mist, he saw an extremely desolate and dilapidated doomsday scene. The ground was covered with rotten pustules and a dark purple sticky substance like asphalt, extending to the end of his sight.

Everything in front of me was corroded by corruption. There was almost no normal vegetation to be seen, and even the mountains were shadowy like phantoms. In front of me were only those strange and curved ghost forests that looked like growing in flesh and moss. The gray-white tree trunks were bent at ninety degrees, and the bare branches were twisted into all kinds of weird shapes, just like the outlines of human figures crawling on the ground.

And at the end of his sight, in the haziness of the gray fog, there were extremely large, twisted, slender black shadows. They wandered in the endless fog, as if they were reflections in the fog and could not be seen clearly.

Their shapes change, not like those of real creatures, but like two-dimensional reflections.

The butcher didn't lie to him!

Sean drew his gun without hesitation and aimed at Loris in front of him.

Because after seeing the doomsday scene in front of her, she was not surprised at all, as if she had known it all for a long time, and she even grinned with a strange smile.

And then the next second.

Xiao En suddenly couldn't move.

——Human immobilization technique!

He was frozen in place.

Loris's originally sweet smile suddenly became distorted, her pretty face revealed a hint of evil and madness, her eyes stared at Xiao En in front of her with a playful expression: "I didn't expect you to react as soon as you escaped."

Sean's body was frozen.

Loris is stronger than Sean, and she seems to be very familiar with everything here because she has set up a strange ritual on the ground.

A black sun emblem.

Loris reached out and touched Xiao En, and the feeling of numbness quickly spread, making him unable to move.

"You lied to me……"

After Xiao En was paralyzed, his body could not move, but he could still speak with great difficulty.

An invisible hand reached out quietly, and Loris seemed unaware of it.

"Yes." Loris turned her head. Her originally pretty and lovely face revealed a hint of madness and hideousness. The blood and dust on her face also made her look miserable.

But she was very excited at the moment, so excited that her face was distorted. She pulled out a strange ritual dagger with a strange glow on it. Her voice gradually became sharper and she said, "But what I said is true. There are indeed monsters everywhere here. They are also monsters. They can't be trusted at all."

Xiao En said with difficulty: "What do you want to do?"

Did Loris do all this just to trick him out and kill him?

With her strength, there is no need to go through so much trouble.

And it all seemed like it was arranged by someone.

They escaped so smoothly.

And that dagger, why does it look so familiar?

In a place that Loris couldn't see, the corner of Sean's clothes moved slightly, his invisible hand was ready to strike, and he also had a gun hidden at his waist.

At a distance of less than three meters, you can kill someone in the head with one shot.

"A ritual." Loris turned around, her expression becoming increasingly weird, completely destroying her pretty face. She looked like a crazy doll. Her voice became increasingly shrill as she spoke out what was in her mind: "A deception, a betrayal, a murder."

"A blood sacrifice dedicated to our Lord to please Him."

"Although it's a bit hasty, you are the best sacrifice."

"Hahaha!"

"They are right about one thing. No one can escape from this damn place!"

Loris's appearance became more and more weird and terrifying, and even she herself did not realize that the fanaticism on her face had become hideous, her smile had become hoarse and crazy, her bright eyes had become pitch black, and her skin was gradually drying up. Little by little, she changed from a pretty girl to a weird human-shaped corpse.

"The only way to escape is to use you as a sacrifice."

"A rare soul from another world is enough to complete the blood sacrifice, summon the gate of the kingdom of God, and bring down the messenger of the other world of our Lord!"

"This will allow our Lord to notice the existence of this strange world!"

"Only in this way can I have a chance to escape."

Loris picked up the strange ceremonial dagger, which Sean had seen before and was exactly the same as it.

Someone once advised him to use this dagger to free himself.

But now Loris held it in her hand, and Sean seemed to understand something.

This all seems a bit like a setup, but Xiao En doesn't seem to be the one involved.

He felt like bait.

Loris clenched the dagger tightly and laughed more and more crazily.

then.

She raised the dagger and stabbed it into her heart!
When she felt the severe pain in her body, she suddenly seemed to wake up, her face full of surprise and horror, and she murmured: "Impossible! This is impossible!"

"I stabbed you in the heart!"

"No!" "My Lord! The great Lord of All-Knowing! The Lord of Dark Sun who controls deception, conspiracy, betrayal, and murder!"

"help me!……"

The black Dark Sun Ritual on the ground turned into boiling black mud. Eerie purple flames rose up and ignited the ritual runes representing deception, betrayal, and murder.

The mud and purple fire spread along Loris' body. Her expression was indescribable. She was completely insane. She seemed to be unable to feel the erosion of all this. Her flesh and blood began to dry and decay. Her skin was mottled and withered bit by bit, revealing dark red muscle tissue. She said frantically: "No!... Things shouldn't turn out like this!..."

"My lord!"

"The Great Dark Sun!"

"I offer you this world! ... This is a country unknown to other gods! ..."

"You will become the only true God in this world!!!"

Loris's voice became hoarse.

"And I will be promoted to Dark Sun... Angel... for this achievement..."

The black sludge, as if it were a living thing, completely submerged Loris' body and poured into her eyes, ears, mouth and nose. She knelt in the center of the ceremony and stretched out one arm frantically, as if trying to grab something.

"My Lord..."

Loris' spirit seemed to have completely collapsed at this moment. Her body began to change, tumbling, colliding, and twisting her limbs. There seemed to be countless wriggling maggots under her skin. In just a few seconds, only the head was left, still in its original appearance, but no longer as pretty and bright as it was at the beginning.

boom!
An indescribable monster of flesh and blood exploded, and bloated fat and mud spread in all directions.

At this moment in the sky, as Loris died completely, a majestic gate emitting a faint halo opened, and Xiao En saw the slowly emerging outline of an angel, with black feathers, full body armor, and holding a long sword burning with a black sun.

The messenger from another world that Loris mentioned has arrived.

Really an angel.

But before Sean could see the black angel clearly, something surged in the rolling gray fog the next second, and the angel in mid-air suddenly let out an extremely shrill wail, and then the black armor on his body began to fall off, and feathers and flesh flew all over the sky. The wailing gradually turned into a strange whisper, and a pair of gorgeous angel wings turned into bare bones, and indescribable flesh and blood spread along the wings of the skeleton. His body was twisted and deformed, his head seemed like a vulture, and his feet turned into strange bird-like claws.

Oh oh oh!
A strange baby-like cry was heard, and it seemed that some extremely terrifying existence had descended from the gray fog.

Sean saw countless flesh and blood tentacles entangled together in the gray mist. They looked like intestines and also like umbilical cords. A vague outline emerged. It looked very hunched, with gray skin, wrinkled body, and a swollen belly with a long umbilical cord wrapped around its back, extending and entangled into three pairs of strange angel wings that looked like floating seaweed.

A creepy chewing sound was heard!

The angel of heaven summoned by Loris was caught in her hand. The gray, hunched figure chewed and cried, and gradually merged into the deepest part of the fog.

"My Lord...save me..."

Loris's body had turned into an extremely bloated behemoth, an indescribable monster of flesh and blood, and she was crawling towards Xiao En's position bit by bit. The only face left of Loris gradually became empty, as if she was a faceless masked man, hanging on the crawling flesh and blood and whispering.

"Are you giving up now?"

A burly figure appeared in front of Xiao En without him knowing when. He didn't know whether to talk to Loris or to Xiao En.

Butcher.

He turned his head to look at Xiao En who was still unable to move, and slowly pulled out the boning knife. With a flash of sharp knife light, Loris's twisted and indescribable body was split into two, and even the empty masked face was completely shattered.

Xiao En regained consciousness completely.

He saw the butcher, and the beautiful girl who looked like an exquisite doll when they first met. She was standing on the top of a high wall, fiddling with a doll in her hand. She looked exactly like Loris. In the biting cold wind, her long silver hair danced wildly in the wind.

Xiao En stood up and panted, "You knew it a long time ago?"

The butcher put away his knife.

He looked at Xiao En in front of him meaningfully and said calmly: "Didn't you already know that we already knew it?"

Xiao En suddenly fell silent.

He could now be sure of one thing, that he was indeed important to them.

Loris thought that Xiao En was her sacrifice, but she didn't know that she was the sacrifice of others.

The only person here who has a bit of goodwill towards him is probably the butcher.

Xiao En even suspected that someone here wanted to get rid of the alien soul through some "reasonable way".

"Why didn't you stop her?" Sean whispered.

The butcher walked towards the high wall without looking back and said calmly: "We gave her a chance, but she chose her own fate. She prefers to believe in the god she serves."

"She is unwilling to accept reality, so she will be swallowed up by illusion."

On top of the high wall.

The delicate girl who looked like a doll jumped down from a wall hundreds of meters high. She glanced at Xiao En beside her and raised her hand gently. Her long silver hair fluttered and a cold light appeared in her white palm. Amidst Loris's indescribable exploding flesh and blood, a strange ritual dagger flew into her palm.

The girl turned and left. As they passed each other, she whispered, "It's called Return to Death."

"Responsible for resting the souls of the other world."

Xiao En felt a chill.
