Chapter 20
The time passing in the dream gave Pippi a sense of despair.

It's fine if the task is not completed, but don't just stay here for the rest of your life.

The voice that had been calling her the princess just now was gone.

"Uh..." Pippi saw that there were only three or four kerosene lamps left.

It was completely dark ahead, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

Do you want to keep going?Pippi thought to herself.In fact, she is quite afraid of the dark...

There is no shadow or demon barrier, just a simple fear of the unknown.

And the light behind him suddenly turned dark.It would be strange to say that nothing happened!

"Or... just go back. Anyway, the back is still lit." Pippi decided to go back.Maybe this is what dead end means.

"Pa, pa," the lights behind him suddenly went out twice.

Pippi was dumbfounded.Will this still go away?He watched the kerosene lamps in front of him go out one by one.

Pippi did not dare to walk in a dark place with her back completely.Because horror movies usually turn their backs, ghosts and the like will flash in dark places...

"Crack, crack, crack, crack..."

I saw that all the lights went out quickly one after another!
Pippi suddenly felt numb all over.Suddenly, one of his feet stepped on the air.

fell into the depths of darkness.

Open your eyes again.It was in a dark purple bedroom.The curtains beside the bed were drawn down.She can't see anything.

"Pippi! Pippi! Can you hear me!?" It was the voice of the system.

"I'm here... where is this?" Pippi couldn't tell the real from the dream because he just ran out of the dream.Fortunately, she heard the sound of the system, which gave her some confidence.

After all, when she was in a dream just now, the system's voice didn't come in at all.

"I finally got in touch with you. You were just knocked unconscious by your brother Bai. I was carried to the basement of the church for you." The system was urgently telling her the news.

"There is a basement under the church!?" Pippi asked in surprise.

Pippi got up and pulled up the curtain to take a look.Can't help but sigh. "This area is too big for the church."

"You have to act faster now, they said that the festival will start soon." The system reminded.

"Have I slept all day?" Pippi asked the system in disbelief.

Although she walked a long time in that dilapidated underground sewer, it should be because she was really bored and seemed long.

did not expect……

"No, you passed out for five hours. It's just that the ceremony starts at 12 o'clock in the morning. So you only have three hours to prepare." The system said.It seemed that I suddenly remembered something, and added

"Remember to avoid your elder brother. He looked at you uneasy and kind for a while, and was called away."

Pippi nodded.Thinking that the most urgent thing is to leave this basement first.But this is too big.

Although the church upstairs was also very large, she didn't expect that the underground area downstairs was at least twice as large as the upstairs.

Because she couldn't see the side at all.

Pippi stood by the bed, thinking about what to do next.

"Pippi is awake?" When Pippi was thinking about where to go out from when life is so difficult.Suddenly a familiar voice came from behind.

"Brother..." was found.Why is it always found out!

If Pippi is not confused now, then he must be stomping his feet angrily.

The man in front of him really maintained a noble, gentle and innocent appearance all the time.

"Why don't you continue to sleep for a while." Bai Ge's voice seemed to be hypnotizing.

Pippi felt dizzy.It was as if those kerosene lamps appeared before my eyes again.

no!Can't be dizzy!If you get dizzy, the next festival will be the full moon next month!

It's better to finish the task early.The provincial system is crying every day.

"Slept for a while, but after waking up, I wanted to get up and see Ling!" Pippi felt that he should be more sensible at this moment.

Call the name and call the name!Pretend to be cute!In order not to die here, do anything!
"Really?" Ling tilted her head as if confirming the authenticity of the emotion she said.

"Really, really!" Pippi nodded like a pounding garlic.

How can I let him let me out to watch the festival, Pippi thought.

"Do you want to go to the festival together tonight?" Ling seemed to sense what she was thinking.Suddenly said this sentence.

"En! En?? Why go to the festival together?" Pippi didn't expect him to ask her directly if she wanted to go to the festival.

Could it be that the so-called festival is just my own imagination, is this an event similar to a fireworks display?
Is that so?

"But I thought you never wanted to go." Ling looked at Pippi and said calmly.

Before Pippi could ask why, he continued.

"When this time is over, let's leave here. Leave this village with my brother." Ling looked at her with a hint of incomprehensible emotion in his eyes.

"I know you're feeling bad. You want to save mom. It's just that we can't take her with us. There's nothing we can do. Once she's chosen as a sacrifice, she'll be surrounded by supervisors' eyeliner." Ling Jingjing explained.There was nothing he could do about it.Do your best to look like you care.

Sacrifice?Mother?Regulators?
Pippi suddenly thought of what he read in the book, that bees feed on human flesh and blood.

Does it mean that the one chosen as the sacrifice this time is his mother in this world?

No, this is really strange.He is obviously the leader of this sect, so why did he get himself eaten by bees?

Ling took Pippi's hand, and looked at her with clear eyes.

"During this festival, you pack your luggage. Let's leave here while they are all participating in the festival." The elder brother said to her.

dong dong——

The heartbeat began to have severe pain again.Did you tell the original owner the same?

Because this sentence is so familiar.

It was as if he had soothed countless times in his ears.

His thoughts were brought back instantly.Ling Jiujiu didn't hear her response, so he dragged her out of the room.

Quiet midnight.

The moonlight was scattered under their feet, and the shadows of the trees were shaking, making people panic.The footsteps of a group of people were heard in the distance.Unlike the woman's scream, it was different from the kind voice Pippi had heard.A dark figure was wearing a long light green dress and was placed on a cross.The group of people lifted her up in an orderly manner and walked deeper into the forest.

"what---"

A shrill voice came from the dark, invisible depths.The crows flew away from the branches together.Pippi could see the flames shooting straight into the sky, washing the night into a twisted red.

The incessant cries of pain lasted as long as half an hour.

The invisible figure was burned to charcoal in the direction that was said to be sent to the Heavenly Palace.

The elder brother beside him squeezed Pippi's hand tightly, as if trying to comfort her.

Pippi herself didn't have any sad emotions, but the constant beating in her heart almost made her explode.Something is about to appear.

Suddenly, the bloated men who had just carried the crosses fell to their knees on the muddy ground.Like praying for something.

"That's a bee?" Pippi looked in that direction, and actually saw several bee-like creatures.

"No, it's a person in bee skin." Pippi looked over carefully, it was clearly not a bee!It was obviously the ordinary villagers she saw.

Ling looked at her, as if a little disappointed.He looked towards the place where the Heavenly Palace was located.

"But if it wasn't for bees, then the obvious air castle must not be man-made." Pippi thought to himself.

dong dong——

It was as if something was about to remind her in her heart.
