Chapter 234 Sacrifice Ceremony

Only a mirror stood on the lonely black rock, not to mention the human figure, there was not even a ruin.

Then, the "doctor" who just talked to the fisherman...

Thinking of the contents of the drifting bottle, Sean felt a chill on his back.

Should I go take a look at the mirror?

This thought suddenly popped up in his mind.

However, the idea that just came up was quickly cut off by Sean.

He looked surprised, and his steps unconsciously stepped back a lot.

As a jerk whose hobby is to play with people's hearts, Sean's control over himself has always been top-notch - he can't even control his own emotions and thoughts, so how can he control others?

So, he immediately realized that the idea of ​​"going to take a look at the mirror" that just came up was abrupt.

That thing is tempting me...

When Sean left the reef and returned to the aircraft, the fisherman squatted on the ground holding his head, muttering to himself constantly, and was extremely lost.

After the other party calmed down for a while, Sean asked, "What did you see?"

The fisherman lowered his head, his voice still puzzled: "I saw the doctor... The doctor is my elder, but he has become terrible."

He sighed: "The doctor's head has become a strange fish in the deep sea, his eyes seem to be hollowed out, and his mouth is full of sharp teeth... I want to ask him if he has seen my wife, but he said he doesn't know me."

Sean narrowed his eyes: "He has become like this, and you still know that the other party is the doctor you know?"

The fisherman was stunned and murmured: "Yes..."

He looked at Sean as if to verify: "But the first time I saw him, I thought he was a doctor... It's just that the poor doctor encountered a terrible thing, and even pretended not to know me!"

Sean looked at the other party and finally just smiled.

Sitting back on the aircraft, in the fisherman's uneasy eyes, he casually said: "Do you want to continue looking?"

The fisherman hesitated for a moment and nodded firmly: "I must find my wife!"

...

Three days later

"Please, tell me..."

The same thing happened again, and they found a black reef again.

This time, the fisherman met the old captain who once taught him how to fish.

Similarly, the old captain also turned into a terrible appearance. In the fisherman's mouth, the other party was a terrible creature with octopus tentacles all over his face, and there was an eyeball on the suction cup of each tentacle. The fishing boat beside him turned into a squid-like submarine. When the old captain was asked impatiently, the squid submarine would spray a lot of blood-red ink.

The fisherman still recognized the other party's identity at a glance, and still begged but got no answer.

And in Sean's eyes, there was still a lonely mirror there, and nothing could be seen.

……

One day later.

This time, it was a postman who looked like an anglerfish. A long stick shaped like a fishing rod grew out of the other party's forehead, and an envelope made of unknown skin hung on the top.

If the fisherman pressed him too hard, he would pretend to tear open the envelope, shouting, "If you do this again, I will tear up all the most important letters, which contain all the treasure maps of the sea over the years!"

However, all this was dictated by the fisherman, and Sean could only see the mirror.

...

Half a day later, three hours later, half an hour later, five minutes later...

Sean did not climb the reef to verify again, because all he could see were tall black reefs.

He and the fisherman encountered reefs more and more frequently, until now, the front had become a sea of ​​black reefs.

The fisherman was almost going crazy, and he even shouted happily.

"There are so many reefs... There must be a lot of people! There must be someone who can tell me, tell me, where my wife is!"

But how could the mirror tell him the answer?

The fisherman did not give up. He climbed those black reefs one by one, talked to familiar people with all kinds of scary looks, and then left in despair.

Sean had been watching from the side, his expression was calm, and I didn't know what he was thinking.

The fisherman returned disappointed again and again, and in the end he seemed to have lost all hope.

"Everyone says they don't know me! No one knows where my wife is! But I can tell who you are at a glance! Why!" The fisherman, who was usually a little timid, shouted angrily for the first time, his eyes full of gloom.

"Not going on?" Sean walked to his side and asked calmly.

The fisherman took a few breaths and continued to walk forward.

Looking at the other's back, Sean thought to himself.

"Pure obsession? But the fisherman didn't show any signs of death... He obviously lost all his strength like an ordinary person, but ordinary people don't have the strength to climb dozens of black reefs that are nearly 100 meters high... Weird..."

While thinking, suddenly there was a cry from the front.

Sean looked up and saw a figure falling straight from the black reef.

He walked over and saw the fisherman staggering to get up after falling to the ground.

He was just a little embarrassed, but there was no injury.

Sean walked over and asked, "What happened?"

The fisherman looked angry: "It's the mayor! Mayor!"

"Mayor?"

The fisherman was sad again: "The mayor watched me grow up, I regarded him as my father... He turned into a shark-headed monster! I just asked where my wife was, and he pushed me off!"

"Pushed down?" Sean's pupils shrank.

Mirror... can it also push people?

The fisherman muttered something, he patted the sand on his body, and went to another black reef.

After he left, Sean climbed up the reef where the mayor was.

Sure enough, it was still bare. From this angle, you can see the surrounding reefs of different heights, all the same as here.

The only difference is that there are mirrors on other reefs, mirrors of different styles, big and small, high and low, but the reef that the fisherman said was the mayor's, only has fragments on the ground.

"The fisherman said that the mayor pushed him down because the mirror here is broken?"

"No... According to the previous situation, the fisherman will start the conversation after looking at the mirror every time... Can the person in the mirror push others? Is it because of pushing people that it broke..."

While thinking, Sean also realized that this time, the idea of ​​tempting people to look at the mirror did not appear.

After hesitating for a moment, Sean walked towards the pile of fragments.

He walked in the direction of the fisherman, and then found that there was only one person's footprint on the ground, and there was no messy trace after pushing.

It's not that the person in the mirror came out to attack... Then my guess is correct...

Walking to the fragments, the scattered mirror fragments have been dim and can't reflect anything.

After carefully searching for a while, Sean found something unusual.

There are blurred words engraved on the back of several fragments, barely put together, and it says "To the Mayor of Minsk."

Is the mayor's name Minsk?

Then, Sean found a few more fragments. Unlike the previous ones, there were bloody and blurred words on the front of these fragments. After trying to piece them together, Sean's pupils shrank violently.

"Child, run, leave him..."

Is this a reminder for me?

No...child...

The fisherman said that he had regarded the mayor as his father since he was a child...

Is the mayor reminding the fisherman to leave here?

Leave from whom?

Me?

Or something in the fisherman?

A sense of horror surged in his heart, and Sean even began to think about whether to run away directly.

Just thinking about it, suddenly, the fisherman's shout came from not far away.

"Mr. Sean! Mr. Sean! Are you there?! Please help me!"

After hesitating for a moment, Sean grabbed the fragments and returned to the underground.

Walking towards the direction of the fisherman, the other party was standing on a small square.

The square was so weathered that it was almost unrecognizable. Even the stone slabs underfoot were cracked and weathered. The only thing that could be identified was a stone tablet erected next to it.

"Haifeng Port... Kurda Town... Established in..." The fisherman was shouting not far from the square, barely recognizing the words on it.

Sean looked over and saw the other party standing on a dilapidated boat. He shouted excitedly: "Mr. Sean, look, this is my boat!"

"Your boat?" Sean walked over.

It was a dilapidated old fishing boat. The metal deck had been through some kind of environment and was almost twisted together.

The fisherman was trying hard to pry open the old armor on the hull, and he shouted: "This is my boat! My wife must know it! She may live in it! I called her name, but she didn't answer me! The entrances on the deck are all blocked, and there is only a gap here. Please help me open this boat, please help me!"

Your wife lives in this damn place?

Sean shook his head, and finally summoned the black fog to open the gap in the deck.

A wind with a rotten smell blew out.

The fisherman had no scruples at all, and he rushed in directly.

After trying to sense it with the heart of fraud, Sean followed after finding that there was no danger inside.

Just a few steps away, the fisherman's crying and laughing voice came out.

"Krenina... Krenina... I finally found you, please, never leave me again..."

Krenina, that is the name of the fisherman's wife.

Sean narrowed his eyes slightly and walked around the rotten hull.

The fisherman was inside, and in the dim light, he was crying and laughing while holding a skeleton, shouting:

"Krenina... Krenina..."

This absurd and terrifying scene made people feel cold behind their backs. At the same time, Sean also noticed that a huge crack had opened on the deck just below the skeleton.

The skeleton was almost suspended above the crack, but if you look closely, it was not suspended...

The skeleton's hands were strangely pointing upwards, but the ropes on them could no longer be seen after so many years.

The bones of the hands were almost stuck to the deck.

Sean could almost imagine the scene before the woman was hanged.

No, to be precise...not hanged.

He glanced down and saw that the crack under the deck should be right in the center of the square.

He shuddered unconsciously.

Inside, there were densely packed skeletons.

The skeletons' knees seemed to be handcuffed to the ground. They were all kneeling, and everyone's hands were straight up to the sky, as if they were trying to break free before they died.

On a skeleton kneeling in the center, there was an almost weathered nameplate.

"Minsk..."

It's the mayor...

Sean's breathing has become rapid.

Beside him, the fisherman's voice became extremely sad again.

"Krenina, I miss you, I've been missing you...We finally meet, you still don't want to talk to me?"

This strange scene couldn't move Sean. What really made him stand on end was that at some point, a mirror rose from the crack, facing the fisherman.

The fisherman slowly turned his head and smiled with surprise: "Krenina!"

The skeleton he had been holding was loosened and fell to the ground and turned into powder.

"Krenina!" The fisherman and Sean were separated by a mirror, and he shouted in surprise.

Sean just moved his steps, and he saw that the fisherman suddenly changed his posture.

He crossed his hands at his waist, and his old face had a strange and absurd gentle posture, and even his voice became softer.

"Bernard... why did you come back?" He made a voice like a woman.

Then, his voice and posture changed, and he became a fisherman again.

"Bernard..." He thought for a moment, then cried and laughed, "I have forgotten my name... You have always remembered my name! I, I have always remembered you!"

He became Krenina again.

"Leave here, forget everything..." 'Krenina' cried, she used Bernard's face, looking terrible and pitiful, "At least you still remember us... You are still here, we will not be forgotten... But if we continue, everything will be irreversible..."

Bernard became a fisherman again, he said anxiously: "Why? I miss you very much, but everyone in the town said they don't know me and want me to leave. Why do you recognize me and want me to leave?"

Sean looked at all this and knew that his guess had come true.

There have never been any residents in the town.

The fisherman, that is, Bernard.

He has been talking to himself in the mirror.

The mirror seems to allow him to see some things and let him be possessed by the souls of those who died tragically.

However, why do these people want Bernard to leave?

Sean knew very well that the strange scene now was definitely inseparable from the two rituals that the fisherman had performed.

The so-called seducer Gao Zhi might be the one who seduced Bernard to perform the terrible ritual.

But if that was the case, the ritual was over and there was no room for redemption...

Krenina seemed to be tired of such a conversation, and she, that is, Bernard, shouted sharply.

"Bernard, wake up!"

She cried: "Everyone is dead, but no one blames you..."

Bernard came back again, his face was blank and terrified.

"Dead... blame me..."

He turned into Krenina again: "The pregnancy ritual... That was the curse of the seducer Gao Zhi... He wanted to come to this world through your hand..."

She cried miserably: "All the townspeople were sacrificed... The child I was pregnant with was Gao Zhi..."
