Amelia lay sulkily on George.
Elmer crossed his arms and looked at Amelia’s wilted face. He did not want her to come, but he did not expect her to come with George. He had no choice but to follow silently. Seeing that Amelia had been unhappy, he comforted her. “Sometimes things are not necessarily bad. The development of civilization is diverse and dazzling, but some people are bad and use this to do evil.”
Elmer sighed. Perhaps this was something Amelia had to experience. Seeing through the world naturally included… forgetting.
More and more people in all kinds of clothes gathered in the square of the City God Temple. Of course, there were also people in Han clothes, but there were very few of them. Only when they arrived did George understand that this so-called doll exhibition was probably a cover for something else. Occasionally, a few passersby in ordinary clothes would pass through the crowd. Among these people was Moon, who was dressed in black and had her hair tied into a high ponytail. She frowned and looked at the square, then at the sky. It was cloudy today. The originally bright sky was slowly covered by dark clouds, and a trace of wind gently swayed the trees by the road. These changes were very subtle, and no one in the lively square noticed any changes.
Mona recognized at a glance that there was a long table with dolls at the front of the square and a ceremonial table in front of it. It was a small sacrificial altar! It was indeed here! She grabbed her backpack and quietly approached the center of the square.
George carried Amelia to the front of the square. There was a long table at the front of the square. The table was very wide, about three meters wide, and more than fifteen meters long. In front of the long table was a large altar. The altar was covered with white cloth and there were three small shrines on it. On both sides were wooden shelves wrapped in red cloth. There were many different dolls on the long table. Some were kneeling, some were lying down, and some were standing with their hands by their sides.
Amelia frowned and said, “This isn’t a doll exhibition. This is a sacrifice!” She pointed at the altar covered in white cloth. “That’s Sister Sara’s doll, Tu Tu…”
From the discussions at the side. Amelia and the others knew that this altar was the so-called ceremonial stage. It was the doll of the first spokesperson. They were invited to this celebration like the emcee.
Elmer’s casual face became serious. This was no ordinary sacrifice. This was just the first tour, which meant that there would be many more of these kinds of sacrifices in the future. He had learned a little last night. The national traveling doll’s exhibition would pass through many different places. The first stop was a big city, the center of the city. It was very lively and suited the needs of the commercial children’s fair. Most people would not think too much about it, but there would be some children’s fairs in the future, even in very remote places with little human traffic. That was abnormal.
Elmer narrowed his eyes and said, “This altar is undergoing some kind of ritual, and these dolls in front of us are human sacrifices for this ritual… Using humans as sacrifices was really too vicious. If not for the fact that it was a lawful society, they might still use living people as sacrifices. However, there was indeed a living person being sacrificed now, and that was Sara. After the sacrifice was over, all Sara’s life and luck would be taken. In less than two months, she would die from illness or accidents. At this moment, Sara was still unaware. She sat in the spokesperson’s seat and took pictures with others with a friendly smile.
Elmer frowned and said in a low voice, “Mia, destroy that altar and we can temporarily break this sacrificial array. From now on, listen to me, Mia…” He was dumbfounded as he looked at Amelia, who was acting alone. Disciple, what are you doing!
Before Elmer could finish speaking, he saw Amelia rush forward. His eyes widened!
Amelia muttered something under her breath, and her face was fierce. “Break it, all of it!” She snorted and sent the shrine flying first. Then, she stepped on the incense ash on the ground and stomped twice. Before anyone could react, Amelia stepped on a stool and climbed up the long table. After a shocking sound, the seven or eight dolls in front of the altar fell to the ground and shattered. Amelia turned around and looked. The red string was going to be torn off too! She grabbed the red string and bit it with her bare hands and teeth, tearing it off with her hands.
Elmer was dumbfounded.
William’s hand froze in midair.
Lucas and George’s eyelids twitched..
