Volume 1 Crime and Punishment in Fog City Chapter 12: The Nostalgic Blood of Madness
"Running with the wind, freedom is the direction~ Chasing the power of thunder and lightning~ Putting the vast ocean into my chest~ Even the smallest sail can sail far~"
Humming a song from almost the last century, Li Lin took a brush and carefully painted the required blood sacrifice array on the solid wood floor.
The two corpses, whose heads had been chopped off after being tortured, sat side by side on the chairs like lifeless dolls. The severed heads stared lifelessly at the black shadow who was squatting on the ground humming a song and drawing a magic circle.
Unlike those real blood sacrifice perverts, Li Lin's method was very cautious and meticulous. He often stood up and looked at the magic circle drawn with blood on the ground with the dragon sesame oil lamp and compared it with the circle he remembered. If there was even a slight difference, he would immediately use the shovel transformed from his cloak to shovel away the wrong part, and then use his fingers stained with blood to draw again on the ground.
To be honest, it was a painful job in the shaking carriage. Just one shake would cause the work that took several minutes to be overturned. It only took 20 minutes to kill two NPCs after torture, but the blood sacrifice array took more than an hour. It was just a very simple symbol array, but somehow it was always drawn wrong. It was really a technical job to draw it meticulously, as if the person who drew the array didn't want people to follow the framework.
However, thanks to the professional players' persistence, the dried blood on the ground still formed an almost identical blood sacrifice formation.
However, after he had finally finished drawing, the system prompt that came made Li Lin's face turn pale.
'System prompt: You have completed the creation of a blood sacrifice array. Please use your intelligence and imagination to satisfy the existence of the void with a morbid and cruel ritual. Countdown remaining 30 minutes.'
"Huh? You're saying that now?"
Only thirty minutes left?
Looking at the countdown on the system prompt, Li Lin felt his anger rising.
What kind of hint is this? Is the requirement so vague? And the more morbid and cruel, the better... How can the more morbid and cruel, the better?
Cannibalism? If it was just a game, it wouldn't matter, but I'm not hungry right now, so there's no need to force myself to play a game, right? Besides, I have to light a fire on the spot, and I don't know if it can burn.
Then...massacre?
But both of them have had their heads chopped off...
"Ah, it would be nice if this system prompt came earlier."
How can I be so sick and cruel now that the person is dead? Try to abuse the corpse?
Looking at the dismembered bodies of the two people, and then at the blood and secretions of human tissue all over the ground, Li Lin scratched his scalp in distress, and his heart was full of complaints about this kind of system introduction that left only half of the content unsaid.
But it is a skill after all, and a rare one at that. Generally speaking, there will always be some special rewards for the first time in this kind of simulation game. Anyway, I am playing alone. But since I am going to do it, I have to do my best. If that person dies, add people to the scene? Is the ritual range enough?
Or is it better to just avoid taking risks and torture the corpse directly on the spot?
It's better to be safe, right? Anyway, there are so many corpses left. At worst, I can make a simple soy milk machine and crush them all. I'll get high praise, right? It should be pretty easy with the steam dagger...
"In short, it has to be morbid, cruel and crazy. Well, first the bones and flesh have to be separated, and then finely chopped into minced meat. Then the internal organs are taken out, and then finely chopped into minced meat. Finally, the brain tissue... Tsk, this game is so realistic and disgusting. In short, should we learn from others and make the head into a wine glass? Or should we just cut the bones and take out the brain tissue?"
How can you let people complete the task without any criteria? Can you at least give more details? What are the criteria?
"… Let's try them all. Try them all at once."
I'll do a control experiment or something later.
Taking a look at the messy bloody ground, Li Lin sighed, dragged the two corpses over, and slowly dismembered them with a beheading sword.
The judgment of the game is often much stricter than that of reality. After all, in reality, you can say nice things or cleverly get away with it, but the rules of the game are the rules. No matter what you say, it will be useless unless you reach a certain level. It is all within the limits of the rules.
Since we are talking about being morbid and crazy, then it should be no problem to refer to those famous cases in history. But this kind of thing is a physical job, not to mention in a shaking carriage. So it should be no problem to do a little bit of everything and then make an overall comparison, right?
It's really troublesome to play games alone. If this game wasn't so realistic and interesting, I would have given up playing it alone.
Looking at the relatively troublesome corpse that had become cold and stiff because all the blood had been released, Li Lin had to sigh, picked up the two-handed beheading sword that should have shined in the war, and continued to chop the NPC's body slowly and methodically.
As the carriages rumbled forward, the cold and stiff corpses became increasingly difficult to process because they had lost their vitality. Because they had lost their blood and nerve responses, the entire corpse would become tense and hardened, and without blood to fill it, it would be like firewood when chopped. Often, I had to take out the steam dagger and pump some air into it to soften it before I could start.
Perhaps it was because of the local characteristics of the people here. When dismantling, you can often see that these NPCs have placed various instruments on their hand bones or wrist bones through crude surgery. However, Li Lin did not sacrifice any part of his body, so he simply removed these things and threw them into the trash can next to him. Then he further processed and ground the remaining body. Until the touching system prompt sound sounded for the first time in a long time, Li Lin put down the weapon in his hand, wiped his sticky palms, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
'System prompt: Your crazy and morbid blood sacrifice has received the most perfect evaluation from the existence in the void!'
'System prompt: You have completed the first blood sacrifice, and your rating has risen!'
'System prompt: You have completed a complete blood sacrifice, and your rating has risen!'
'System prompt: You have obtained a permanent status.'
'Status Blessing: The Nostalgic Blood of Madness
The ancient legend gradually became a reality in the body, and the nostalgic scene gradually appeared in the mind. Your sacrifice made the existence in the void feel unusually happy and comforted. They believed that you could bring new and unconventional art. This ancient and crazy knowledge disappeared from the world for many years, and now it has reappeared in your hands. And in a posture that would not appear in the most terrible nightmare. '
'System prompt: You have enabled the reputation value of a certain faction.'
'System prompt: A certain camp has evaluated you as respectful because of your crazy and morbid mentality and your actions without any hesitation.'
'System prompt: From ancient times to now, no one has ever been as indifferent to killing creatures and blood sacrifice as you are, and no one has ever been as indifferent to such evil deeds as you are. There is no excitement or fear, just a desire to see the result of this blood sacrifice. This evil and frightening mentality even makes the beings in the void feel extremely awed by it. Maybe they are chaotic and evil, but they can't regard the world as nothing like you do. Your reputation will even spread throughout the void in a short period of time, allowing many monsters to feel your terror and power.'
'System prompt: You have gained a little legend (void).'
"……ha?"
What the hell are these reviews?
What do you mean you are sick and crazy? What did you do?
But all in all, even though it's a hidden camp, this evaluation is pretty easy to get?
Li Lin casually threw his empty brain into the garbage pile beside him and thought a little confusedly as he looked at the task list in front of him.
Will we do it this way from now on? But that basically means we haven't said anything, right? What is crazy and sick? Where is it crazy and sick? Digging out brains? Dismemberment? How do we judge identity? Or do we have to do the same thing every time?
It's almost the 22nd century now. We can't still be using the same fixed templates, right?
And what the hell is Crazy Blood? What about the value bonus of this BUFF? If there is no value bonus, can you at least give me some equipment or a hint? There is no skill improvement at all.
After flipping through the skill list, Li Lin curled his lips in disdain as he saw that there was no change on the words.
"Useless skills..."
It's used to gamble on your luck when cleaning the battlefield, right?
After taking a glance at the subway train travel time indicated on the mission, the middle-aged player immediately calmed down and leaned against the inner wall of the carriage with a dissatisfied look and sighed.
"Ahh... there are still two hours left... I always feel like I'll miss out on the plot if I watch a movie ... it's really inconvenient..."
It would be nice if there was a player to play cards, but unfortunately no one is playing.
Sitting on the sofa that had become somewhat damp and slippery after being splashed with blood and absorbed the blood, Li Lin squinted his eyes and looked at the dim chandelier above his head that was covered with splattered human flesh tissue, thinking in a somewhat bored manner.
The plot on the ground is not that exciting. If it is to be underground, it would be great if there were something exciting. For example, a touching plot, irresistible violence, or bloody and brutal monsters. It would be great if there were things that can make people secrete adrenaline. That would be interesting.
With a carriage full of internal organs and a strong smell of rust that almost covered people's noses and abdomen, the iron wheels of the carriage made waves of disturbing friction. The train seemed to know nothing and drove steadily towards the dark underground. Only a not-so-pleasant song and the sound of bones rubbing and colliding came from the carriage.
"Speed, 70 miles per hour... Feeling, free and easy... Hope the destination is the Aegean Sea... Run at full speed, dream on the other side..."
