Chapter 54: The Sacrifice To The Banyan Tree
The strange light and shadow illuiant banyan tree as well the silhouettes of people kneeling and worshi+pping around it
Gu Jun felt as though he was right next to the banyan tree, but his “angle of view” could see the 360-degree situation around the banyan tree There were about fifty people ere kneeling, all clad in the saoith some weird embroidered patterns and looked like a costuave off an unknown sense of danger
Where is this? And when? Gu Jun wondered, thinking that the vision’s visual range was somewhat limited, and further aas just a hazy, out-of-focus, low-lying building Was that Gurong Village? Or the origin of patient 25 on the operating bed?
He wanted to take a closer look at the banyan tree, but all he could see was the lush foliage spreading outside The thick branches drooped to the ground, as though absorbing soy from the earth
“Why?” Gu Jun wondered If the patient with the Banyan Malformation Disease was the direct point of contact with this vision, what does this scene have in coery? What was the couely hear the sound of so “Ah, AH” Was it patient No 25’s cries?
Suddenly he seeowns pushed a strangely constructed wooden prison cart to the banyan tree The wood of the prison cart was engraved with intrinsic patterns everywhere Some of the ficus roots of the banyan tree rapped around in a strange ring There was a wooden frame in the middle of the prison cart
Gu Jun’s heart suddenly thue of the vision was greatly distorted
A man was tied to the wooden frahtly bound in a spread-eagle way as if he was affixed to an operating table The ed, and Gu Jun saw that the ue had been sliced off
Those fanatics pushed the prison cart round and round, and the people kneeling on their knees did not htened, having a vague preularity with this scenario
They pushed the prison cart to the side of the banyan tree, stopped, and another person, as also wearing the eerie long coat, approached It was only that his coat was dyed bright red The man in red carried a machete in his hand, walked to the side of the prison cart, and swung the ht upper limb KACHA Splinters of wood mixed with bits of blood and flesh flew out Then, the man proceeded to the left upper limb
Hoarse screams that seemed to come from the depths of hell resounded, but the sound of thecontinued mercilessly
Gu Jun also felt an acute pain that struck all the way to his boneblurrily He saw the round suddenly chanted collectively, and made an indescribable eerie noise
He sahat the ely malformed banyan tree branch Every leaf in a densely packed bunch was painted with soe it was Theonto these branches and pierced them into the man’s wounds where his lis, the man “transformed” into a monstrosity He bore a human torso and head, but all his limbs were banyan branches
Gu Jun’s headache seemed like it was about to split apart He then saw the round one by one They walked to the banyan tree, then to the sacrifice on the prison cart
On the other hand, he felt as though he was gradually growingout of the illusion But suddenly…
He clearly saw the appearance of theal of intense repulsion
It was the “receptionist” of the Lai Sheng couy!
“AH!!!” Gu Jun couldn’t help but utter a hoarse and frantic yell, feeling so in his heart
Those in black were all froanization They fored in these crazy ceremonies and sacrifices to fulfil some crazed purpose Are Mom and Dad one of thee depicted in this vision felt extreh it happened before the establishment of the Republic of China
The bunch of new questions flooded every drop of Gu Jun’s blood At the same ti Coanization of lunatics The Banyan Malforhly likely a kind of artificially created disease!
