Chapter 313 Sacrifice

wall!

Rocky walls covered with blue moss.

There are no so-called wall seams, and the rock walls are monolithic.

Not just this side, but all four walls.

"prison?"

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

Everything in front of me is really too familiar.

In the special punishment dungeon [Prisoner], he had such an encounter.

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

"The skull is severely broken. It should be a weapon such as a flail or a hammer, and the head-on blow smashed the Tianling Cap..."

"The unlucky guy who was handcuffed here at that time was forced into a corner, struggling and begging for mercy, but he didn't let the perpetrator show mercy, and he killed him with a single blow!"

After squatting down to examine the bones, Qin Ran came to this conclusion, and the scene at that time appeared in his mind.

Then, his eyes turned to the prison door.

To his surprise, the prison door was unlocked.

"There are lights outside, but the door of the cage is not locked. If you send out the possibility that there is an 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 did you let the other party die here?"

New doubts appeared in Qin Ran's heart.

You know, the process of corpses turning into bones is not something pleasing to the eye.

Not to mention other things, the stench alone is not something ordinary people can bear.

Not to mention in this kind of underground prison.

Qin Ran could completely imagine that everyone had to cover their mouths and noses when the stench filled the air.

But even so, the corpse was not disposed of.

"Is there anything special about it?"

Qin Ran subconsciously looked at the skeleton again.

He examined the skeleton in more detail.

But nothing special was found.

Without gaining anything, Qin Ran stood up with regret, and carefully opened the door of the cage, trying not to make a sound.

What was in front of me was a corridor that wasn't long enough for the light to come in.

"Only one cell?"

Qin Ran glanced around, and was surprised to find that the position he was standing at the end of one side of the corridor, behind him was the prison.

But in this corridor, there is no prison door.

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

Qin Ran cautiously walked over.

Almost every step will check the feet and surroundings, and only after confirming that there are no traps, can we move forward again.

Especially when he was close to the light source and was about to lose the shelter of the shadow, Kieran took out the [Words of Arrogance].

However, Qin Ran was surprised again.

In the hall with a light source in front of him, there is nothing worthy of vigilance.

Whether it is a person or a thing.

The only thing that attracted Kieran'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 usual round and square shape, but several people carved out of stone, trampled under the feet of the statue, making a wailing appearance.

The statue has a burly body with wings on its back, and holds a giant sword and whip in its hands. A nearly decayed arrow is stuck in the face of the statue, making the face unclear.

But even so, Qin Ran felt his heart pounding.

Although there are some differences in details, the overall aspect is very similar to his appearance after [Transforming into a Demon].

Of course, Kieran hadn't carefully looked in the mirror when he was in demon form.

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

"How is this going?"

"Why is there a demon statue here?"

Qin Ran looked around the hall with doubts.

Except for the corridor where he came, there are eight other corridors distributed around the period.

The distance between each corridor is equidistant, and in the center is this demon statue that radiates light.

Moreover, Kieran also discovered that the floors of each corridor are different.

To be more precise, the pattern on the floor is different.

"Magic circle!"

After comparative inspection, Qin Ran came to a fairly positive conclusion.

Although his [Mysterious Knowledge] level is not enough to recognize the function of the entire magic circle, some runes in it can still be recognized.

Especially the 'death' composed of fifteen characters.

Qin Ran recognized it almost immediately.

This was one of the first few characters he knew, and it was naturally fresh in his memory.

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

"Sacrifice?"

Thinking of the weird layout of the prison and the demon statue, Kieran made a guess.

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

Like the cell he appeared in, each cell contained a skeleton with a crushed skull.

Besides that, there are no valuable clues.

Qin Ran returned to the demon statue again, looking at the statue in front of him with a faint light, he couldn't help thinking.

"The mist should have some kind of teleportation effect, and it brought me here: a place for some kind of sacrificial ceremony!"

"But it should not have been used for a long time, and even those who presided over the ceremony have disappeared, and judging by the damaged appearance of the demon statue..."

"This place should have suffered a small-scale attack at the beginning!"

"No, it's not a small-scale attack!"

"It should be an assassination!"

Qin Ran couldn't help looking at the shadow in the corridor, and he brought himself into that role.

"The assassin sneaked in here quietly. He hid in the shadow on one side, waiting for the assassin to appear. Unfortunately, he didn't kill him with one blow. Instead, he shot an arrow at the statue. Then, the assassin Running for your life in a panic, the assassin is hot on your heels!"

Qin Ran deduced the whole process.

His brows slowly relaxed.

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

Or even, two!

The first one is the door that must exist for the priests who preside over the ceremony to enter and exit.

The second is the possible door that the assassin entered and exited.

The reason why it is possible is because Qin Ran guessed that the identity of the assassin might be one of the priests who presided over the ceremony.

As for why you want to assassinate your colleagues?

Fight for power!

Qin Ran immediately thought of this.

Perhaps, there are other possibilities.

But it's none of Qin Ran's business anymore, he just wants to find an exit quickly.

Squeak, squeak!

Just when Kieran was about to check his surroundings, there was a harsh grinding sound.

The next moment, a figure descended from the sky.
