Chapter 51: Sacrifice

wall!

Rock wall covered with cyan moss.

There are no so-called wall cracks, the rock walls are integral.

Not only this side, but all four walls are like this.

"prison?"

Qin Ran looked at the prison door on the opposite wall, then at the bones at his feet and the shackles extending from the wall, frowned.

Everything in front of me is really familiar.

He had this experience in the special punitive copy prisoner.

The only difference is that he is much luckier than the unlucky guy under his feet.

"The skull was severely broken, so it should have been a weapon like flails, hammers, and the frontal blow broke the sky spirit cover."

"The unlucky guy who was tortured here at that time was forced into a dead corner, struggling constantly and begging for mercy, but none of them allowed the perpetrator to be merciless and directly hit him with one blow!"

After Qin Ran squatted down and examined the bones, he came to this conclusion, and the scene of the time appeared in his mind.

Then, his eyes looked at the prison door.

To his surprise, the door of the prison was not locked.

"There are lights outside, but the cage door is not locked. If you send out the possibility of the illusion in front of you, it means that the jailers know that the people here are dead!"

"But, since you already know that the other party is dead, why would you let the other party fall into bones here?"

New doubts appeared in Qin Ran's heart.

You know, the process of corpse oscillation is not pleasing to the eye.

Not to mention anything else, the stench alone is not something that ordinary people can tolerate.

What's more, it's in this kind of underground prison.

Qin Ran could completely imagine that when the stench filled, everyone would have to cover their mouths and noses.

But even so, the body was not disposed of.

“Is there anything special?”

Qin Ran subconsciously looked at the bones again.

He examined the bones in a more meticulous manner.

But there were no special discoveries.

Without any gains, Qin Ran stood up with a little regret. He carefully opened the door of the cage and tried not to make any sound.

In front of me is a corridor that is not long enough for light to penetrate.

"Only one cell?"

Qin Ran's eyes glanced around and was surprised to find that the location he was standing confirmed that the end of one side of the corridor was a prison behind him.

But there was no prisoner in this corridor.

At the end of the other side of the corridor is a light source that brings light to the entire corridor.

Qin Ran walked over cautiously.

Almost every step, check the feet and around you, and then move forward again after confirming that there are no traps.

Especially when approaching the light source and about to lose the protection of the shadow, Qin Ran even spoke arrogantly.

But, it surprised Qin Ran again.

There is nothing to be wary of in this hall with a light source in front of you.

Whether it is a person or a thing.

The only thing that attracted Qin Ran's attention was the light source in front of him: a statue emitting a faint light like an oil lamp.

A very hideous statue.

The base of the statue is not the common circle or square, but several people carved from stone, who are trampled under the feet of the statue and wailing.

The statue is burly, with wings on the back, holding a giant sword and a whip in its hand, and an almost decayed arrow is inserted on the statue's face, making it difficult to see the face clearly.

But even so, Qin Ran was so upset in his heart.

Although there are differences in details, the overall aspect is very similar to what he looks like after transforming into a demon.

Of course, Qin Ran did not look in the mirror carefully when he was in the devil form.

However, there is a realistic sketch in the Mysterious Daily, which is enough to let Qin Ran know what his demonic form looks like.

"What's going on?"

"How could there be a demon statue here?"

Qin Ran looked around the hall with doubt.

In addition to the corridor when he came, there are eight other corridors distributed around the surrounding period.

The distance between each corridor is equidistant, and the center is this radiant statue of the demon.

Moreover, Qin Ran also found that the floors of each corridor were different.

To be precise, the patterns on the floor are different.

"Magic Formation!"

After comparative examination, Qin Ran came to a pretty positive conclusion.

Although his mysterious knowledge level is not enough to recognize the function of the entire magic circle, some of the runes can still be identified.

Especially death consisting of fifteen characters.

Qin Ran almost recognized it at a glance.

This is one of the few characters he first knew, and he naturally still remembers it fresh.

And the nine corridors in front of us all have characters of death, without exception.

"Are you offering sacrifices?"

Recalling the strange layout of the prison location and the demon statue, Qin Ran guessed.

Then, he began to inspect the remaining eight corridors one by one.

Like the cell where he appeared, each cell has a skeleton with a broken skull inside.

Apart from that, there are no valuable clues.

Qin Ran returned to the demon statue again and looked at the statue emitting a faint light in front of him, and he couldn't help but think.

"The fog should have some kind of teleportation function, and it brought me here: a venue for some kind of sacrifice ceremony!"

"But it shouldn't be used for a long time, and even those who presided over the ceremony have disappeared, and the appearance of the devil statue being destroyed."

"This place must have suffered a small-scale attack!"

"No, not a small-scale attack!"

"It should be an assassination!"

Qin Ran couldn't help but look at the shadows in the corridor, and he brought himself into the character.

"The assassination sneaked into here quietly. He hid in the shadow on one side, waiting for the assassination to appear. Unfortunately, he did not kill him with one blow, but instead shot an arrow on the statue. Then, the assassination fled in panic, and the assassination chased him!"

Qin Ran deduces the whole process.

His brows slowly stretched out.

The seemingly useless process actually made Qin Ran understand that there would be at least one entrance and exit here.

Even, two!

The first is the door that must exist for the priests who preside over the ceremony.

The second one is the door that the assassin entered and exited, which may exist.

The reason why it is possible is that Qin Ran guessed that the identity of the assassinator was likely to be a member of the sacrificial ritual that presided over the ceremony.

As for why he assassinated his colleagues?

Fight for power and profit!

Qin Ran thought of this the first time.

Perhaps, there are other possibilities.

But it's nothing to do with Qin Ran. He just wants to find the exit soon.

Squeak, squeak!

Just as Qin Ran was about to check around, a harsh friction sounded.

The next moment, a figure fell from the sky.
