Chapter 120 Ruan Ruan, I Found You
The investigation about the phantom worms is going on in secret, and the grand ceremony of Xinghexing is also held as scheduled.
Early in the morning, there was a performance by a well-known interstellar idol group, accompanied by singing and dancing, announcing the official start of the grand ceremony.
The entertainment programs continued, and people's faces were filled with smiles.
The street was very lively, and everyone was looking forward to this sacrificial ceremony. Of course, many people were secretly looking forward to encountering Commander Lu.
In the central villa area, Su Ruan is purifying the energy stone.
It is always right to have a little more in the space button. If the situation happened in the Moonlight Bar last time, she can also take out the energy stone for Lu Shinian to absorb, at least to ensure that he will not be exposed in a short time.
Lu Shinian didn't come back after he went out yesterday, and he didn't know if he would be able to come here before the official start of the sacrificial ceremony at night.
Su Ruan was a little distracted thinking, the black mist of the first-level energy stone in her hand seemed to have stagnated all of a sudden, not moving.
She collected her mind, concentrated her attention, and continued to purify the first-level energy stone.
The hustle and bustle outside seemed to have nothing to do with her. She focused on her own world, and soon became addicted to it.
Time passed in a flash, and it was already dusk in a blink of an eye.
The sacrificial ceremony will start at six o'clock in the evening, but it's already half past five, and Lu Shinian hasn't come back yet.
Su Ruan put the energy stone that had been purified after a day into the space button, and sent another message to Lu Shinian.
【I'll go to the celebration first, and find me over there when you're done. 】
After sending the message, she quickly packed up and rushed to the sacrificial ceremony center.
The whole galaxy is centered on the middle junction, presenting a symmetrical structure.
The sacrificial altar is in the center of the junction, half of which is piled up with thick snow, and the other half is covered with green grass.
These two diametrically opposite weathers can coexist very well, and no one interferes with the other.
The sacrificial round platform is beautifully built, full of ancient and heavy atmosphere.
Just looking at it from a distance, I can't help but want to surrender.
The sacrificial ceremony is open to everyone, and only the banquet after the sacrificial ceremony is only open to those who are invited.
So many people surrounded the sacrificial round platform, Su Ruan couldn't squeeze in, so she could only stand outside from a distance.
At six o'clock, with the round platform as the center, the fireworks are in full bloom, illuminating the entire sky, dyeing the sunset-like red with more brilliant colors.
Su Ruan raised her head and looked at the fireworks in full bloom, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
Lu Shinian hadn't responded to her message yet, probably because he was stumped by something.
Accompanied by the fireworks, a man wearing a mask, wearing an ancient robe and braiding with texture stood on the sacrificial altar.
He held up the scepter in his hand, muttering something in his mouth.
Because it was too far away, Su Ruan couldn't hear clearly.
She only vaguely saw the man on the round platform with his left hand on his heart, four fingers curled up, and only one thumb raised up, stroked from the left heart to the middle, seemed to pause, then stroked to the right heart, and then Pull back and pause.
After repeating it several times, he read aloud: "Be honored! We are favored by God!"
Su Ruan's pupils slowly tightened, and her hands and feet became cold at some point.
The hands hanging on both sides trembled slightly, memories flooded in, and the delicate little face with a touch of pink gradually turned pale.
"How is it possible." She murmured, seemingly not paying attention to the crowd.
how can that be possible?
This sacrificial ceremony was actually exactly the same as the sacrificial ceremony she held in another world.
Especially the special sacrificial gestures, every pause is exactly the same.
It's just... It's like some kind of replica, or inheritance.
Su Ruan only felt that there was a cloud of suspicion coming towards her, and her mentality, which had been gradually calmed down for a while, fluctuated again.
A dim light flashed in the extremely beautiful pupils, the jet-black hair was windless, and the slightly long bangs half covered her eyebrows, making it difficult to see her expression clearly.
The surrounding temperature was faintly tinged with coldness.
until……
A big hand held Su Ruan's small hand, and at the same time, the familiar deep voice came from his ears.
"Ruan Ruan, I found you."
The strange feeling of coldness disappeared all of a sudden, as if the moment just now was just some kind of illusion.
Su Ruan raised her head, her long eyelashes trembled, and she took the initiative to lean towards Lu Shinian.
"Why did you come here?"
Almost, almost she couldn't control herself.
Perhaps her voice contained a hint of grievance, which made Lu Shinian subconsciously reply, "Sorry, things are a little tricky."
Su Ruan didn't really want to blame Lu Shinian, after venting that moment of panic, she obediently nodded and said, "Is it resolved now?"
"Not yet." Lu Shinian pinched his brows, "It's a bit troublesome."
The phantom worm was hidden somewhere, and they almost searched Xinghexing without finding the phantom worm.
And during the investigation, he also discovered that two other forces were also looking for phantom worms.
It seems that many people have discovered the anomaly of the phantom worm, and he must find that strange phantom worm before the other two forces.
Lu Shinian held Su Ruan's hand and hugged her tighter, "Why is Ruan Ruan's hand so cold?"
Su Ruan blinked and said jokingly, "Wait for you."
Lu Shinian was taken aback for a moment. Although he knew that Ruan Ruan was joking, he still felt distressed.
"Next time if I don't come back from a mission, Ruan Ruan doesn't have to wait for me."
He wrapped people in his arms, "I just need to know that Ruan Ruan is by my side."
For the rest, he didn't dare to make extravagant demands.
Su Ruan pursed her lips lightly, and was about to say something when Lu Shinian's brain rang again.
Lu Shinian took a look, and a dark look flashed across his eyes.
It was a message from Deputy Wang.
[Commander, phantom worms have been mixed into the celebration, and it is very likely to cause a large-scale hallucinatory effect. 】
Although it is easy to see through the illusions of ordinary phantom worms, this phantom worm is different. The illusions it creates can deceive people with low mental power. people.
If this phantom worm creates a terrifying illusion or other tempting illusions, the whole scene will become very chaotic.
Many people will even be injured, and it may cause widespread panic.
This is definitely not what they want to see.
Lu Shinian obviously also realized the seriousness of this. He looked at Su Ruan and hurriedly said in a low voice, "Ruan Ruan, the phantom worm has sneaked into the celebration. You should go home first and don't come out."
Seeing his serious expression, Su Ruan asked worriedly, "Do you need my help?"
Lu Shinian hugged Su Ruan, lowered his head, and leaned into her ear, "Ruan Ruan came home to help me."
