SFS Chapter 384 Canghai... City?
Chapter 384 Canghai... City?
The gray eyes looked ahead with an arrogant attitude, the mouth moved slightly, and a childish and gentle voice slowly sounded.
"The sacrifice is over..."
This voice seemed to have some kind of magical power, and the people kneeling below stood up in an instant.
Then, as if they didn't notice the chaotic scene around them, they turned around and scattered, each returning to the surrounding houses.
"what?"
Yuan Yu looked at the little girl in disbelief. This guy was actually the big boss!
This kid who hasn’t even grown all his hair yet?
It seems that there is something wrong with her eyes. Could it be the power that the stigmata brings to her?
Everyone immediately moved a little further away from the girl, constantly looking at her delicate body.
Since she can control the villagers, why would she sacrifice herself?
It looked like she was about to run out of strength. If Yuan Yu and the others had been five minutes later, only her ashes would have been left.
When all the villagers disappeared, the girl slowly turned towards Yuan Yu, placed her hands on her chest and bowed slightly, then spoke.
"Welcome... guests from afar, thank you for saving me from the sacrifice, allowing me to continue..."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!"
Yuan Yu stretched out his hand to interrupt her and looked at her strangely.
"In the situation just now, it was obvious that you were the one who performed the sacrifice. You don't think we are stupid and can't see that, do you?"
"... "
The girl paused and continued calmly.
“This is indeed a sacrifice that I led everyone to perform, and the sacrifice is indeed myself.
I was ready to serve the gods, but since you all saved me, it means that the gods have rejected me..."
"... "
This... is such an outrageous statement. Could this be the legendary fanatic?
But since it was her own fault, Yuan Yu was too lazy to ask about it. Let them be crazy as they please, as long as they don't affect others.
This girl is obviously not simple, and perhaps she can get some information about this world from him.
Yuan Yu thought for a moment and asked
"Do you know where this is?"
"here…"
The girl paused, and a rather old name appeared in her mind. She said with some nostalgia:
"Once upon a time, this place was called Canghai City."
"!?"
Yuan Yu only felt a bolt of thunder exploding in his mind. He looked at the scene of the primeval forest around him, suppressed the restless emotions in his heart, and asked slowly.
"Is the city you're talking about the one I'm thinking of? But isn't this just a village?
The surrounding area is completely deserted, with only vast expanses of forest..."
The girl nodded, a rare faint smile appearing on her face.
“Canghai City used to be located here, but as time went by, more and more people left.
In the end, everything was submerged in the sea of trees, leaving only those of us who stayed behind..."
Yuan Yu looked around and Mo Ming took a breath and asked.
"No! A city flooded? How long would it take to do that!"
"Time... should be 10 years..."
Seeing the girl spit out this number calmly, Yuan Yu's mouth twitched suddenly.
He suddenly felt that this guy was fooling him, although at first glance, there seemed to be nothing wrong with what the girl said.
But the biggest question at the beginning was, what was going on with this girl who looked like an experienced person?
Can you live another 10 years?
And the fact that these people are dressed like primitive people is also a big problem...
"Then you must have lived here for a long time. Do you have any maps of the surrounding area?"
Yuan Yu skipped that topic and asked the main point directly. After all, he was not a historian, so there was no need to discuss historical issues with her whose truth or falsehood he did not know.
"map?"
The girl tilted her head slightly as if she was a little confused, but suddenly she thought of something and nodded with a look of enlightenment.
“If guests from afar need anything, we will certainly provide it.
But you have to wait until dawn, until the others are up, and have them get it for you. I don't have it with me."
"OK?"
Yuan Yu nodded with satisfaction, but suddenly realized something was wrong and looked up at the sky.
Blue sky and white clouds…
Isn't it dawn?
When Yuan Yu suspected that this guy was playing tricks on him, the girl made a gesture of invitation and said
"Dear guests, please follow me.
Rest here for a while. It will be daybreak soon, and I will have someone fetch you a map."
The girl said this as she walked in one direction. Her footsteps landed steadily among the ruins around her. She didn't look down but it felt like she was walking on flat ground.
Suddenly he stopped and turned back to Yuan Yu with some apology.
"I'm so sorry that I haven't introduced myself to you all in such a long time.
My name is Yi, a...servant of God.
Welcome everyone once again..."
Yi bowed solemnly again, then turned around and continued walking towards a place.
Yuan Yu and his group stood still, looking at the slowly receding figure with different expressions.
“It’s so weird…
Whether it’s this person or everything around them, it’s too weird…”
Xiao Guanxing said what everyone wanted to say.
Everyone could clearly feel the strangeness here, but this strangeness did not seem to affect them.
The girl was a little too polite. She showed neither anger at having her sacrifice interrupted nor gratitude at being saved. Everything was calm and indifferent.
Especially since all these behaviors happened to a girl who looked to be about seven or eight years old, it suddenly became even more bizarre.
At this time, Guanxing whispered beside Yuan Yu.
“I touched her body just now when I lowered her from the chains.
It is very consistent with her appearance. Her body bones have not yet grown, so her real age should be around seven or eight years old..."
As Guanxing was speaking, she suddenly felt a strange gaze scanning her up and down.
The corner of her mouth twitched, and she looked at Yuan Yu's quickly averted gaze with an expressionless face.
Guanxing raised his hand and placed it directly on Yuan Yu's waist, then continued slowly while exerting force.
"But the girl named Yi's behavior was completely different from what one should be like at her age.
We don't know whether the body was occupied by another consciousness or underwent some special major changes.
However, this place must be extraordinary, so you plan to follow that Yi and stay here, waiting for the map she mentioned.
Or should we just turn around and leave now and look for other clues?"
"Uh...this..."
Yuan Yu felt the force on his waist and his eyelids twitched slightly.
He grabbed Guanxing's hand and pulled it but couldn't pull it off, so he could only pretend that nothing had happened.
"Only children make choices, adults of course want them all!"
