Chapter 2 2 Bloodline Sacrifice Ceremony

Chapter 2 -2- Blood Sacrifice Ceremony

Pain.

Severe pain!

When Charlotte woke up again, she found herself hanging on a metal cross, with four huge iron nails piercing her left and right palms and two crossed soles.

The gurgling blood flowed down the cross like a stream, pouring into the grooves that had been carved on the ground.

Charlotte looked at it with pain, and could see that it was a circular pattern centered on the cross under the dim crimson moonlight of the skylight. It was extremely complex and looked very much like the magic circle in the novel. There were zombies kneeling around in maid and waiter costumes.

Countess Castel stood in the front, exuding a trembling and terrifying aura.

She was facing herself, holding a blood-red fragment in her hand, as if it was torn from some ancient book.

Seeing Charlotte slowly waking up, the Countess smiled slightly, revealing two sharp teeth:

"Oh, my baby, you're awake."

Charlotte's heart sank.

Hanging on the cross is not a good situation.

Combined with the unruly magic circle below him and the zombies around him who were obviously praying, Charlotte, who was familiar with online articles, had roughly guessed that she might be used as a sacrifice by the other party.

This world... is not an ordinary alien world at all!

With her brain working rapidly, Charlotte sniffed, and crystal tears instantly fell like silver beads, leaving two curved tear marks on her pretty face.

"Wow... Grandma..."

She whimpered and looked at Countess Castel with a weak, pitiful and helpless look.

Seeing the pitiful and unbearable appearance, even Countess Castel, who had turned into a monster, was slightly stunned, and the terrifying aura on her body stagnated faintly.

But soon, her eyes became deep again.

The scarlet eyes flickered slightly, and the greedy sight slowly slid across Charlotte's body:

"What a charming little fairy, it's a pity that you can't be taken as a charming blood servant."

As she said, she opened her ferocious mouth and taunted like a hunter teasing her prey:

"Poor little thing, now... stop pretending."

"Little Charlotte died of illness a long time ago. You are just the saint's true spirit of the Holy King's Court that I summoned to complete the final blood sacrifice ceremony."

"Hehe... With the saint's true spirit as a sacrifice, I believe my master will be very satisfied!"

The secret of the time travel was exposed, and Charlotte felt a tightness in his heart.

But with it, there was a trace of doubt.

The saint's true spirit of the Holy King's Court?

What the hell is that?

As if thinking of something, Charlotte's heart moved slightly.

She stopped sobbing and said quickly:

"Grandma, no, Countess Castel, I think... there may be some misunderstanding between us..."

However, the old woman lost interest in continuing the conversation and shook her head sarcastically:

"Misunderstanding? Hey, pointless struggle."

After that, she took out a filthy cross from her arms and pointed it at the girl hanging in the air.

The old and crazy voice trembled slightly, and her expression was hideous and fanatical:

"Come on! Holy Spirit! Let me appreciate your divine light that is about to fall and your painful and twisted expression!"

The deep light bloomed on the cross, carrying a chaotic and evil breath.

In the cruel and tyrannical eyes of Countess Castel, the filthy light shone on Charlotte.

"Wail! Scream! Feel... the pain and despair of darkness!"

Not good!

Charlotte's heart tightened when she saw the evil halo that made people feel like vomiting at just one glance.

She was shocked and angry, unable to dodge, so she could only turn her head, close her eyes and grit her teeth.

The evil and chaotic light enveloped the girl like the mud thrown into the world.

However, the imagined pain did not come.

Except for feeling a little cold and countless crazy and low whispers in her ears, Charlotte's body did not feel any discomfort.

Hmm?

She tentatively opened her eyes.

The Countess still fanatically held up the filthy cross, with an extremely hideous expression.

The cross flickered with light and darkness, and the pressure was overwhelming, covering everything.

The basement was deep and cold, as if falling into the abyss.

But other than that...

Nothing happened.

Charlotte looked a little dazed.

Although she did not speak, the confused and doubtful expression, which seemed to be mixed with relief and trepidation, seemed to say:

That's it?

The old woman was also stunned.

She frowned slightly, and looked over and over the filthy cross in her hand, as if trying to find out what was wrong.

After a careful look, she frowned and raised the cross again, and then stirred up the magic again, chanting in a crazier voice:

"Scream! Beg for mercy! Scream in despair under the light of corruption!"

The deep light bloomed again, covering Charlotte's body, and the breath was more evil and chaotic than before.

However, this time.

Still nothing happened...

Charlotte:...

The Countess:...

The two looked at each other.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

The old woman's expression suddenly became ferocious, and the terrifying magic power erupted like a volcano:

"Why! Why is there no holy light on your body?! Why are you not corroded by the light of corruption?!"

The tsunami-like pressure rose and fell, accompanied by crazy roars, bringing unprecedented pressure to the girl.

However, Charlotte was quietly relieved in her heart.

Combined with the old witch's previous words, she had roughly guessed the reason.

The girl regained her composure, and her voice became a little more confident:

"Countess Castel, I think... there is really a misunderstanding between us."

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?"

The old woman's eyes were scarlet, and her expression was as dangerous as an angry beast.

Charlotte considered her words and said:

"You, should be holding a special ceremony? And this ceremony is related to the saints of the Holy King's Court?"

"What I want to say is that I am not a saint of the Holy King's Court."

"That... you seem to have pulled the wrong person."

Countess Castel was silent.

The next second, Charlotte felt a strong mental force descending on her.

After a moment, the spiritual power dissipated, and the countess's expression became extremely ugly:

"No sacred mark..."

"You are not a saint of the Holy Court!"

"How is it possible? How is this possible!"

"Since you are not a believer of the Holy Court, why were you summoned by the Holy Spirit Summoning Ceremony?"

How should I know?

I just fell asleep after working overtime all night, who knew that I would wake up in this damn place!

Even my gender has changed!

Charlotte complained in her heart.

She did not change her expression and shook her head:

"I don't know either."

"When I woke up, I was like this."

As she said, she considered her words, showed a smile that she thought was friendly, and continued:

"Countess Castel."

"As you can see, I am not the saint spirit you need, and it seems that there is no point in you sacrificing me."

"Perhaps, we can talk..."

"Talk? Do you think you are qualified?"

Countess Castel's eyes flashed red, with a mocking look on her face.

Her killing intent was so strong that it was as if she had completely attributed the failure of the summoning to Charlotte.

Charlotte had no doubt that if she could not give a suitable reason, the old witch in front of her would definitely kill her without hesitation in the next second.

Suppressing the uneasiness in her heart, Charlotte pretended to be calm and continued to smile:

"That's not necessarily true. Compared with the sacrifice that is doomed to fail, I think that my life will bring you more benefits."

"Summoning me here may be another unexpected surprise for you."

A real man can bend and stretch.

Now in a life-and-death crisis, facing a crazy old woman with obvious mental instability, Charlotte was timid and had no pressure at all.

Put aside face and self-esteem for the time being.

Find a way to survive first!

"Oh? So... you have some abilities that I don't know about?"

Countess Castel raised her eyebrows slightly.

This time, she looked at the girl carefully, and seemed to be a little interested:

"Tell me, what can you do?"

Charlotte smiled slightly and continued:

"For example... I know how to cook a lot of delicious food, all of which are delicacies you have never seen before."

After that, she saw Countess Castel's eyes move slightly.

This was also expected. From the broken memories inherited by Charlotte, Countess Castel was indeed a gourmet.

It's just...

"If it's just gourmet food, it's not enough to buy your life, my little Charlotte."

The Countess shook her head slightly.

"I can also do business. Now the Castel family's industry, I am confident that I can expand it several times within ten years..."

Charlotte pondered for a few seconds and continued to increase the stakes.

Countess Castel was thoughtful and seemed to be moved.

But in the end, her gaze towards the girl did not change, and the exploration was more profound.

Charlotte gritted her teeth:

"I also know a lot of knowledge that is not available in this world, and each one of them may bring changes to this era!"

"I..."

"Wait!"

Hearing this, Countess Castel suddenly interrupted her.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and asked:

"You just said...you know a lot of knowledge that is not available in this world?"

Charlotte hesitated:

"Yes."

"You...are from another world?"

Charlotte subconsciously wanted to deny it.

But feeling the breath that was locked in her, she hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slowly:

"Yes...."

Anyway, the secret of body swapping has been known.

Adding another person from another world, it seems that there is nothing else.

Countess Castel was silent again.

Gradually, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, turning into a satisfied smile, and the smile continued to bloom, becoming more and more unrestrained, and finally turned into an excited laugh:

"Hehe... Hehe... Hahaha..."

"Hahahaha!"

"Good! Very good! Very good!"

Seeing the other party so happy, although Charlotte felt a little strange and uneasy, she was relieved temporarily after all.

Burying her fear, frustration and anger deep in her heart, she suppressed her anxiety and nervousness, tried to look relaxed, and smiled:

"It seems you are very satisfied."

"Then... can you put me down first?"

As she spoke, she twisted her body, which was almost unconscious from pain, and pretended not to care and sighed:

"Honestly, it's quite uncomfortable hanging here. I feel like my blood is almost drained..."

"puff……"

Dull pain suddenly came from the abdomen. Charlotte felt a strong sense of vomiting and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood mixed with internal organs.

She lowered her head slowly, with an incredible look on her face.

Beneath her body, a terrifying black tentacle as thick as a fist penetrated her belly and was twitching and stirring crazily inside.

On the other side of the tentacle was Countess Castel, whose smile faded and her face was expressionless.

"Why... why..."

Feeling the rapidly dissipating vitality, Charlotte's eyes widened, a little unwilling and a little confused.

The old woman sneered:

"Why? Of course, we will continue to perform sacrifices according to the ceremony."

As she spoke, her expression became ferocious and greedy, bloodthirsty and fanatical:

"Haha, unexpected surprise, you are right, you are really my unexpected surprise!"

"The soul of another world, this is a hundred times more precious than the true soul of a saint!"

“What are the holy saints?”

"As long as I sacrifice your blood, I will receive the Lord's gift and receive unprecedented divine grace!"

Grass!

Like this?

Charlotte cursed secretly.

She raised her head with difficulty and used her last strength to smile at the old woman:

"Okay...you're numb."

Countess Castells frowned.

Although she didn't understand the other party's awkward words, she instinctively felt that they were not good words.

Glancing at the increasingly rounded red moon outside the sky window, she grinned cruelly:

"The auspicious time has come."

"My unexpected joy...enjoy the last crimson moonlight!"

After saying that, she put down the dark cross and held up the blood-red fragment, her body glowing brightly.

Charlotte felt that she was locked by a strange force that was difficult to describe in words, and she instantly lost control of her body.

The blood in the body gradually boils, and the hideous wound on the abdomen seems to be burning continuously. This is a sign of the beginning of the sacrificial ceremony...

have to.

I have to kneel down after just two days of traveling through time. I am afraid that there is no traveler who is worse off than me.

Charlotte sighed in her heart.

If she had known this was going to happen...she shouldn't be so reserved after time travel, and should study her new body carefully first.

With such random thoughts, time seems to have become slower than ever.

At the same time, the melodious prayers of Countess Castel and the living corpses slowly reached Charlotte's ears:

"The master who wanders between the abyss and the present world,"

"The embodiment of depravity and decay,"

"The Savior of the Blood Seed..."

"The Great Blood Demon Archduke—Abaddon!"

"Your humble servant, I pray for your grace..."

"I would like to offer the most precious blood of the Castel family and the soul from another world, and pray that you will grant eternal youth and vitality to your humble servant..."

Um……

This prayer...

It seems...somewhat familiar...

Just as Charlotte's consciousness gradually blurred, her vision suddenly brightened.

In the scarlet light, a series of simple and strange words slowly appeared before her eyes:
