Fernando grabbed the notebook and cast "high invisibility" on himself, disappearing into the study, silently listening to the footsteps of Si Si Suo.
One, two, three, more and more footsteps sounded at the gate.
"How can so many people still be sneaky" Fernando created a peeping magic eye, causing them to fly apart, monitoring the entire villa Although the spell has a limited range, Tuke's villa is old and narrow, but it is all under control.
In a no-man's corner, a crystal ball suddenly lit up, revealing that the scene in the hall "High Invisibility" could not hide this effect.
In the hall, men and women in ordinary clothes walked like ghosts, and their steps were very light, as if they were afraid of waking up the owner here.
There were about a dozen of them, scattered one after another, surrounding a man with a terrifying face in the middle.
The man had pale red sparse hair, a protruding forehead, a broken eyebrow in the middle, a nose with half missing, an outward-turned mouth and a pair of eyes that only left the whites of his eyes, and his facial features were ugly, not at all like a natural, like a rag doll sewn by a wayward child himself, or like a monster that only appears in a dream without logic.
His blind eyes stared up at the ceiling, his ears trembling slightly like being bitten by dogs, and when the dozen men and women stood in strange positions, he suddenly spoke, "The gods save the world." ” His voice was not as "ugly" as his face, ethereal and lofty, as if descending from an infinite height, making people feel intimidated.
"Please save us."
The men and women clasped their hands together and slowly fell to the side in front of them, in strange and twisted postures.
The man continued his previous tone.
He said solemnly: "After birth, everyone is suffering.
Everyone will suffer from hunger, trauma, jealousy, betrayal, and not be happy for a day.
Overwhelmed by the infinite pressure, and, in the end, no one can escape death, but walk towards death step by step with fear. ” But the true God tells us that death is eternal, that death is serenity, without any affliction.
There is no pain, and we have to thank God for the grace of God when we face death, and thank Him for keeping you from sinking in this filthy and filthy world."
As he spoke sentence by sentence, an atmosphere of silence and indulgence permeated the hall, and the dozen men and women listened attentively, as if they had gradually understood the true meaning of death.
"Could it be that the Church of the Gods of Death is preaching," Fernando figured out what was happening in the hall through the prying eye of the Magic Eye.
And preliminary guesses.
It's infiltrated by the Church of a Hegan God, and it's normal for a similar situation to occur.
As soon as this thought flashed to him, he suddenly realized something was wrong in his heart: "But why did they come to Tuke's house to preach the service, do they know that there is no one in Tuke's house?"
Thick doubts rose.
Fernando took a closer look, and found out that Tucfran, who was trying to study the mysteries of the faith, used his memory to create an image of Tuk for him to see, so that he could find Tuc.
"Strange, could they have something to do with Tuke's disappearance," Fernando observed the group more and more closely.
"If only we can receive the favor of the true God, we will have eternal life in death, eternal life without pain" The priest's voice suddenly became high-pitched.
At the same time, he raised his right hand.
As his right hand was raised, the dozen men and women got up from the ground and danced a strange dance that Fernando had never seen before, their postures all twisted unably, as if they were not at all afraid of broken joints, nor did they feel the slightest pain.
"It's not like normal religious ceremonies" Fernando still studied it a little, "the believers of the god of death are so special" As the "dance" became more and more eerie, the atmosphere in the hall became confused, and one by one they took off their clothes and crawled naked in front of the priest.
The priest's right hand was lowered, but there was a sharp dagger with a silvery white cold light on it.
Just when Fernando thought that the priest was going to harvest the lives of these believers to please the god of death, the priest flipped his right hand and plunged the dagger directly into his chest, and blood flowed out.
"Eh" Fernando was completely stunned, he knew a lot of sacrificial rituals, and he had never seen the presiding officer commit suicide first Blood dripped on the filthy floor, and a prostrate man seemed to have suddenly been summoned by a god, his eyes turned red, and his tongue sticked out, licking the blood.
Then, with a lotus sound in his throat, he pounced on the limp priest like a wolf, and the two rows of white teeth were exposed, and he bit down fiercely on the priest's neck, brushing and tearing off large pieces of flesh, and hurriedly swallowed it.
The other men and women also went mad, and threw themselves on the priest in the same way, biting at his flesh, chewing and devouring with great reverence.
Looking at the believers with mouths full of blood and broken flesh, Fernando could not restrain himself from feeling a wave of nausea, although he had also studied necromancy, he had never seen such a disgusting scene.
In the frenzied competition for food, a lot of blood was wasted, and it gathered under the corpse, forming a puddle of water.
The blood in the "puddle" suddenly evaporated, creating a hazy mist of blood around everyone.
And in the blood mist, a face suddenly drilled out.
The dark red color was like a veil, and it was rigidly stretched on this face, and only the protruding parts such as the eyes, nose, and mouth were revealed, making it indescribably strange and terrifying.
He shouted in a hoarse voice: "Help me" Fernando's whole body was shaken by this voice, and the drowsiness he had at some point left his body.
Only then did he realize that the scene inside the crystal ball was still a "normal picture" of a priest reciting prayers and men and women "dancing".
"What happened to me just now" Fernando subconsciously asked himself, and soon understood that he was affected by illusion, and before he knew it, he had entered a dream He looked around vigilantly, and said secretly in his heart: "The one who can make me enter the dream realm unconsciously through the previous scene is definitely not only a high-level, at least he is also an archmage, and he is also an archmage who is good at the dream realm, what does he want to do?"
Suddenly, he thought in shock, "The one who shouted for help was the Archmage who created the dream, and he created the dream to call me for help."
Fernando didn't rush out to investigate the dozen or so cultists of the other gods, because the "caller" called for help in this way was obviously to escape the surveillance of some existence, and if he acted rashly, he was likely to encounter accidents.
"The person who called for help is imprisoned, if he is imprisoned, the little power he leaks can't affect me at all, unless his strength is above the legend, then what can imprison him is not something I can provoke at all, if he is not imprisoned, but is injured and hiding somewhere in the city, then it can force an archmage to be so difficult, at least a ninth-level powerhouse, he may be nearby" "This method is obviously a magician, so why didn't he directly ask the people in the mage's residence for help, there should be a contact with Alto, unless, unless the mage's residence is monitored by that strong man in the shadows, maybe the people in the mage's residence have also gone wrong, betrayed or been replaced" "So, will the strong man in the shadows let people leave Kufrey City and help the magician for help?"
Fernando shook his head resolutely, definitely not, maybe as long as he tried to get out of the city, he would be caught and tortured, and quietly killed.
At this time, the believers who danced and prayed gradually slowed down, and it seemed that tonight's ritual had come to an end.

Fernando's eyes watched this scene without focus, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind: "Could it be that the helpers did this on purpose, so that I could scare myself and not dare to leave the city of Cuffrey, and then, and then disappear like Tuke" He is a very intelligent person, so he thinks a lot, hesitates for a moment, and does not know which possibility to believe.
But since he thought of Tuke, he seized the time, opened his notebook, and looked through the following records: "The prayer rituals here are so quirky and very different from what I know" "The more I study the church that is secretly developing here, the more I am terrified and scared, what the hell is this" "No, why have I never seen anyone go out of the city, why do people who deliver water and food only return at the city gates, and never enter the city?"
"I'm going to get out of here" The scribbled handwriting was followed by a hopeless blank space.
"Is it true that everyone knows about not being able to get out of the city?"
Fernando wondered.
Inside the crystal ball, the prayers stopped, ready to leave at the priest's command.
Fernando had a flash of inspiration, flashed directly into the hall, and said in a loud voice: "Who are you, why did you come to Tuke's house without permission?"
If you are here to find Tuk, you must act like looking for Tuk, so that you can delay time as much as possible and not be noticed and doubted "We were invited by Tuke."
The priest, who was as ugly as a monster, replied majestically and frankly.
"Tuke invited you here" Fernando was slightly stunned, he didn't expect this answer.
Fran and Antek took the tokens given by their respective teachers and hurried towards the city of Kufrey.
"By the way, who is the one who has been guarding there recently" Antek usually didn't pay much attention.
Fran thought for a moment and said, "Your Excellency Origin Flame. ”:
