Chapter 43 Chapter Twenty Seven

According to the map, Wu Wei and others are likely to hold a sacrificial ceremony in the air-raid shelter.Because the cave was pitch black and the passages criss-crossed, Fu Bin thought it necessary to ask his superiors for support.However, we did not find Principal Wang in the elementary school, and we have reason to believe that he is with Wu Wei and others. Principal Wang is an honest and upright person who has been engaged in educational work for many years. It is really difficult to equate him with members of a cult.It would be easy if he was a member of the cult, but it would be troublesome if he wasn't, because his life might be in danger.

Sacrifice to evil gods must sacrifice the life of the sacrificer. It is not surprising that Wu Wei and his wife are willing to sacrifice their lives in order to resurrect their son.However, if it was Wang Da who presided over the sacrificial ceremony, but not the two of them, or they used coercion and inducement to let Wang Da preside over the sacrificial ceremony.Then, Principal Wang is likely to give his life helplessly to save his son. In order to avoid this, we must enter the air-raid shelter as soon as possible to prevent them from performing sacrifices. Fu Bin called his superiors to ask for support, and he was told that it would take at least 30 minutes for the first batch of armed police officers to arrive.At this moment when time is equal to life, we cannot do nothing and watch time pass by.Therefore, after discussion, we unanimously decided to immediately go to the "Altar of Reincarnation" located deep in the air-raid shelter, hoping to save Principal Wang, whose life was at stake, before the sacrificial ceremony was held.

We sent relevant information such as the location of the air-raid shelter and maps back to the police station, so that the armed police can come to support as soon as possible.After a little packing, I immediately headed to the dark air-raid shelter. Although I already know that the so-called hidden mirror ghost is just a trick of Wu Wei and his wife, but it is still inevitable to feel intimidated when you are in the air-raid shelter where you can see your fingers.After all, behind Wu Wei and others, there is the "Holy Lord" Anayi who possesses mysterious power. According to the instructions on the map, we quickly found the passage to the "Altar of Reincarnation".In order to avoid being discovered by the other party, we turned off the flashlights and walked towards the evil base camp in the dark.Although the passageway did not hang oil lamps like before, we walked for a short distance in the dark, and found a bright light ahead, and smelled the unique and heart-stopping fragrance.

The passage slopes downward, so even if the front is relatively bright, it is still difficult to see the whole picture of the "Altar of Reincarnation", only people's shadows can be seen shaking, and people's voices can be heard faintly talking.We hid in the darkness and listened carefully to the voices from the altar. "Remember your promise, after the sacrificial ceremony, no matter what the result is, you have to give up the position of the right Dharma protector." Judging from the voice, the person who spoke should be Wang Da. "Big husband, a thousand gold promises, our husband and wife joined the Chishen Sect with only one purpose, which is to bring Wei'er back to life. As long as we can make Wei'er come back to life, we are willing to pay any price, even if we are slaves and handmaids for the rest of our lives, we will not have any Complaints." These words should come from Wu Wei's mouth.

Wang Da said again: "Are you sure there will be no problems? I heard that to hold a sacrifice, you need to sacrifice the life of the sacrificer." "That's just hearsay. You only need to sacrifice the blood of the priest, not your life. Although Principal Wang is old, he is in good health. Putting some blood on him won't do much for him." It was a female voice who spoke carefully. It was discovered that it was Liang Caixia. "It's almost time, let's start the sacrifice! The drug I gave the old man is not much, and he will wake up soon." Wang Da said.

"First sprinkle Principal Wang's blood on the altar, activate the magic circle on the altar, make the altar a bridge connecting the void fairyland, and then dedicate eight pure souls to the great Holy God of Chidi." Liang Caixia said in a statement. The words gradually became excited, "As long as the Holy Spirit is satisfied with the sacrifice, we will be able to receive the grace bestowed by the Holy Spirit, allowing Wei'er to obtain eternal life." "Are the gauze bandages ready? It doesn't matter if you bleed the old man, but you can't kill him." The voice of packing things followed Wang Da's words.

It seems that they will hold a sacrifice soon, and they will hurt Principal Wang who is in a coma. We can no longer stand still and must attack immediately.I made eye contact with Fu Bin and Xue Qing, and learned that they think the same as me, but how to launch an offensive against each other is a problem. Judging by the conversation alone, there should be three people on the other side, and Anayi, who we are most afraid of, is not among them.But even so, Wang Da has a police gun on his body, Wu Wei should also have an air gun, and besides the police gun in Xue Qing's hand, we only have Fu Bin's broken dagger.If we face each other face to face, we will definitely suffer.

Just when I was worried about this, Fu Bin and Xueqing seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, and they turned their heads to look at me together.Before I could figure out their intentions, Fu Bin grabbed an arm and threw me forward. The passageway sloped downwards, and when he fell, I rolled forward like a wax gourd.I was rolling so hard that my eyes were staring, I finally stopped and looked around carefully, God of longevity, I had a lot of fun this time. Just now, due to the angle, I couldn't see the whole altar clearly, but now I can finally see it carefully, but this view may be my last memory before reporting to King Yama.

The "Altar of Reincarnation" is as wide as I imagined, about the size of a football field. It should be natural, not artificially excavated.I think the air-raid shelter was rebuilt from a natural cave. Otherwise, it would have been manually excavated. I don’t know how long it would take to dig out such a large space. There are ten large wooden boxes covered with military canvas on the edge of the altar. The boxes should contain some wartime supplies.These scraps of metal twice my age are probably not of interest to anyone except scavengers. On the ground in the center of the altar is a huge pentagram magic circle, with countless mysterious symbols drawn in it, and hundreds of candles are inserted on the edge of the magic circle, surrounding the magic circle.The light that illuminates the entire altar comes from these candles.

In the center of the circle was a masonry altar, on which lay two people, one old and one young...or, one person and one corpse.The old man is of course Principal Wang. At this moment, he looks peaceful and seems to be asleep, while the young man is probably the "Wei Er" in the words of Wu Wei and his wife. Although Wei'er seemed to be sleeping peacefully, from his darkened face, one could tell at a glance that he had returned to heaven.What was lying next to Principal Wang at this moment was nothing but a cold corpse. If it was just this one dead body, I would be able to handle it, but other than that, there are three other people who are looking at each other, they are of course Wu Wei and his wife and Wang Da.

"Hey, what brought you here? Officer Mu." Wu Wei recovered from his surprise. Although he smiled at me, he also squatted down slowly and reached for the air gun on the ground. I raised my hands and forced a hippie smile: "Don't be nervous, I don't have a weapon on me." Wu Wei didn't stop, and slowly picked up the air gun, but he didn't point the gun at me. "What do you want?" Wang Da asked, crossing his hands.Although he put on a relaxed posture and seemed to be indifferent to me, his right hand quietly reached into his coat. "Actually, I didn't think about it. After all, I'm just a wage earner. To me, handling cases is just work, and it's not worth risking my life." I pretended to be greedy for life and fear of death, "Either you tie me up and then Get on with your business! I promise I won't tell you anything about you." "There is only one way to make a person shut his mouth forever." Liang Caixia winked at her husband, who immediately pointed the gun at my chest. "Wait a moment!" I hurriedly shouted: "Wait a moment, don't worry, even if you want to kill me, you should at least answer my question first, so that I can die blindly!" "We can be regarded as colleagues, and I will let you die with peace of mind. If you want to ask any questions, just ask!" Wang Da said arrogantly. "Honestly speaking, when things have come to this point, I have basically been able to deduce your killing methods and motives. But there is one problem that I still can't figure out, and that is..." I pointed at Wang Da and said: "You As a policeman, why did you join a cult?" According to my investigation of this case, everyone who joins the cult has a purpose.The most obvious purpose of Wu Wei and his wife is to bring their son back to life.Before, I deduced that Teacher Lu's purpose was to take revenge on the officials in his hometown, but now it seems more likely to revive his wife and daughter.However, Wang Da's parents are still alive and have not yet married, so there should be no need for this!Then why did he join the cult, and why did he even put his father in danger? "For the sake of social justice!" Wang Da said with a righteous look on his face. "This society is too unfair now. Take me and Wang Xi's son as an example. Besides eating, drinking and having fun, what else will Wang Xi do? He I don’t know anything, but I can live in a luxury house and drive a famous car. Since I was a child, I have been better than him in every aspect, but I can’t get what he has easily, no matter how much I work hard. And I only need a little If you make a mistake, you will be beaten to death by your father, and he makes too many troubles, but who can touch him?" "Why? Why is that? Isn't it because he has a rich father! In this society that only recognizes money, whoever has money is the master!" After Wang Da got excited, he said calmly again: "I I thought that after becoming a policeman, I could uphold justice with my own ability. But I soon discovered that this society is darker and more unfair than I imagined, and my personal ability alone cannot change all this. Therefore, I I chose to join the Chidi Sect, hoping to use the power of the Sect to change this ugly society." I didn't expect Wang Da to be an angry youth, but I'm not in the mood to discuss the ugliness of society with him, because Wu Wei is ready to send me to Huangquan Road. "Officer Mu, you can keep your eyes closed now!" Wu Wei said and pulled the trigger, followed by a frightening sound of breaking wind. At this moment when life and death were on the line, a powerful force hit my buttocks.I glanced behind me out of the corner of my eye and realized that it was Fu Bin who flew up and kicked me.Although I was kicked by him and fell to the ground like a hungry dog, it saved me from a fatal shot. When the incident happened suddenly, Wang Da immediately pulled out the police gun from his coat and pointed it at Fu Bin.The gunshots echoed in the cave like thunder, but Fu Bin was safe and sound, while Wang Da fell to the ground slowly.It turned out that the shot was fired by Xue Qing who was hiding in the passage. Xueqing was skilled with marksmanship, the bullet hit Wang Da's chest, even if it couldn't kill him immediately, at least it could temporarily incapacitate him. However, our crisis was not resolved, because at the same time as Wang Da fell, Wu Wei had already loaded his air gun and was ready to shoot again.This time he pointed his gun at Xueqing who was hiding in the passage. The sound of breaking wind full of murderous intent echoed in the cave, and Xue Qing, who was in the narrow passage, had no way of avoiding it.However, she did not die because of this, because whenever a beautiful woman is in danger, there will always be some idiots who rush out to be heroes, and this time the idiot who pretends to be a hero is Fu Bin. Fu Bin rushed towards Wu Wei suddenly, not only blocked a shot for Xueqing, but also threw a dagger at the opponent before being shot.All this happened in the blink of an eye. When Fu Bin was shot and fell to the ground, the dagger was also inserted into Wu Wei's throat. "Wei!" Liang Caixia turned pale with shock, she flew in front of Wu Wei, kept shaking the opponent's weak body, and shouted hoarsely at the top of her lungs: "Wei, don't go, it's only one step away, just one step away... As long as we use blood to activate the magic circle on the altar, we can pass the sacrifice and exchange Principal Wang's life for Wei'er's sixty-year-old life. Without you, how can I complete all the steps of the ceremony..." It turned out that Wu Wei and his wife had long planned to sacrifice Principal Wang. I think they would probably not let Wang Da go after the sacrifice.Fortunately, we arrived in time, otherwise, I am afraid that two more names will be added to their kill list. The corners of Wu Wei's mouth trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but the dagger was deeply inserted into his throat, making it difficult for him to speak.In a moment of desperation, Liang Caixia pulled out the dagger. As the dagger was pulled out, blood splashed out like a fountain. Liang Caixia dropped the dagger in panic and covered Wu Wei's wound with her hand, but it was difficult to stop the blood from gushing out.Perhaps because of the backflow of blood into the trachea, Wu Wei choked up several times, and after suddenly spitting out a mouthful of blood, he barely squeezed out eight words from between his teeth: "We can't live together, but we want to die together..." After finishing speaking, his neck tilted, as if he had I'm out of breath. "Wei, don't go!" Liang Caixia cried bitterly while hugging her husband's body, and then gently put the body down, letting her lie safely on the ground.She picked up the dagger on the ground, stared at me with murderous eyes, and stood up slowly.I seemed to see the figure of the hidden mirror ghost, appearing behind her.The ferocious face of the evil ghost gradually overlapped with her distorted face due to rage, forming a frightening and terrifying face. If the opponent is an unarmed man, I may have a slight chance of winning.But facing this woman who is holding a dagger in front of me and is about to die with me, I don't think it's possible for me to get out unscathed. Although I can't hit her, her movements may not be faster than Xueqing's bullets.However, when I turned around to ask Xueqing for help, I found that the beauty of Bingshan, who can calmly deal with any emergencies, was in a panic at this moment. What to do" etc. Fu Bin, who was lying in Xueqing's arms, was only shot in the abdomen, but he probably didn't hurt his vitals.However, not only did his complexion turn black, his body twitched from time to time, and a small amount of white foam flowed out from the corner of his mouth.These are the early symptoms of poisoning, and he must be sent to the hospital as soon as possible, otherwise, even if he can save his life, he may have to peel off a layer of skin.However, before sending him to the hospital, I had to deal with the murderous Liang Caixia. At this critical juncture, if you hope that Xueqing can wake up from the panic in an instant, it is tantamount to entrusting your life to the hands of death.It is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. If you still want to save your life, you have to solve the immediate crisis by yourself. I flew towards Xueqing and picked up the pistol on the ground.Although my marksmanship is not very good, at least I can kill Liang Caixia before the dagger is inserted into the heart. However, when I hurriedly grasped the pistol and was about to point the muzzle at the target, I found that Liang Caixia was no longer in the same place.Looking around carefully, she found that she had run to the edge of the altar, standing in front of the supplies left over from the war, showing a sinister grin. "Don't move, I will shoot if you move again!" I hurriedly loaded the phone and aimed at the target. Although the pile of wartime supplies should be all broken copper and iron, there is no guarantee that there will be one or two firearms that can be used.In order to avoid causing more casualties, I had to bet on my marksmanship, which I failed every time in the exam, to kill her before she went on a killing spree. However, the moment she lifted the canvas covering the supplies, I found that things were worse than I expected—there were no guns under the canvas, but shells! After the canvas was lifted, three of the large wooden boxes were revealed, filled with rusty cannonballs, each of which was as big as the mouth of a bowl.What's more, there was a 20-liter gasoline barrel in front of the wooden box. Liang Caixia unscrewed the lid of the gasoline barrel, poured gasoline on the shells, and laughed grinningly: "Since Wei'er cannot be resurrected, let our family reunite in the underworld!" It seemed that she wanted to die with us. Although I have a gun in my hand, with my marksmanship, before I can kill her, the shells behind her may have to take a few shots. Maybe the whole underground altar will explode without waiting for her to ignite the gasoline. Instead of gambling with her luck, it is better to hurry up and escape. I rushed to the altar, carried Principal Wang on my shoulders, and ran back immediately.Although I'm not physically fit, I'm still a man anyway, and Principal Wang is thin, so I can finally handle it. "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, we have to leave quickly!" I ran and shouted at Xueqing, but she didn't respond, she still hugged Fu Bin and murmured: "What should I do, what should I do..." When I ran to Xueqing's side, Liang Caixia had already poured all the gasoline in the oil barrel onto the shells.After throwing away the oil drum, she began to rummage through her pockets, seemingly looking for matches or a lighter.While rummaging through her pockets, she kept looking around, and after a while her eyes fell on the candles on the edge of the magic circle. If Xueqing is not awakened as soon as possible, we will all die here, and even the effort of cremation can be saved.Not to mention the seven large wooden boxes still covered with canvas, just those three boxes of shells were enough to collapse the entire air-raid shelter, and we would all have to be "buried". In desperation, I had no choice but to kick Fu Bin hard in the chest.He was already dying, but when I kicked him, he spit out a mouthful of black blood.Xueqing hugged him tightly in panic to prevent me from kicking him again, and cried, "He can't hold it anymore, and you still want to hurt him." "If you don't send him to the hospital, he will really be unable to hold on." I pointed at Liang Caixia who was walking towards the shell pile with a candle, and shouted at Xueqing. Xueqing stared blankly at Liang Caixia, who slowed down her pace to avoid the candle from going out, as if she didn't understand the other party's intention for a while.I had no choice but to kick Fu Bin again, pointing to the three boxes of shells on the edge of the altar, and cursed at her: "She wants to blow up the air defense shelter, if she doesn't leave, Fu Bin will have to be buried with her!" I deliberately said "Fu Bin" instead of "we" to let her know that she can decide Fu Bin's life or death.This trick seemed to be quite effective, at least she was just a little stunned, then picked up Fu Bin and ran away with me. Although Xue Qing's figure was not petite, it was quite difficult for her to walk with the burly Fu Bin on her back.And I may not be much better than her. Although Principal Wang is thinner, I have to hold him with one hand to prevent him from slipping off my back, and hold the flashlight in the other.Under such circumstances, it was almost impossible to escape the air-raid shelter before Liang Caixia detonated the shell.Sure enough, not long after we entered the tunnel, there was a deafening explosion, accompanied by a strong and hot airflow behind us. Under the violent shaking of the passageway and the whistling strong airflow, I fell down with Principal Wang.The same is true for Xueqing, but she hugged Fu Bin's body immediately after falling down to prevent him from being hit by the peeling stones. This explosion should only be caused by some shells, and the power is not enough to collapse the entire air-raid shelter, but the second wave may be coming soon.I helped Principal Wang up, and told Xueqing not to care about Fu Bin's life and death, and to run for her own life.Of course she didn't listen to me, and tried to help Fu Bin up, but just took the first step and fell down again.Only then did I realize that her ankle seemed to have been sprained in the explosion just now, and it was impossible to escape with Fu Bin under such circumstances. When I was thinking about whether I should leave Fu Bin and Principal Wang behind and flee this damn air-raid shelter with Xueqing, Principal Wang suddenly asked vaguely, "What happened?" Principal Wang really woke up in time. I shook him a few times to make it easier for him to wake up, and said to him: "Don't ask me anything, help these two guys get out of here." I didn't let him have any chance to ask questions, and immediately dragged him to help Xueqing and Fu Bin up.I carried Fu Bin on my back, and then asked him and Xueqing to assist me, and finally I was able to take a step forward.However, at this moment the explosion sounded again. This time it was much stronger than before, and the four of us turned our backs together.I thought the passage would definitely collapse. Fortunately, during the violent shaking, although more stones peeled off, the passage has not yet collapsed.However, the collapse is only a matter of time, and the next explosion will definitely be more violent. When the vibration weakened slightly, I immediately got up, carried Fu Bin on my back again, and continued to escape with the assistance of the other two.After that, there were three more explosions, each of which was no less powerful than the previous two.During the last explosion, I felt that almost the whole earth shook, and the entrance to the bomb shelter completely collapsed in this explosion. Fortunately, when we were most desperate, the armed police arrived in time, found us in the dark cave, and helped us escape. In the end, we escaped safely outside the cave before the entrance of the cave collapsed.
