Chapter 601: Mischievous.

[Lin Xuan]: What do you mean?

[Lin Tang]: I also only discovered today that our family has always maintained...

[Lin Tang]: Shang and Zhou dynasty era sacrifices!

[Lin Tang]: I have already run out from home, you also hurry and run. Wait until you come of age and Little Uncle will eat you!

This truly touched upon Chen Ran's knowledge blind spot. He only knew that during the Shang and Zhou periods they often used living people for sacrifices, and also...

The people of the Shang and Zhou periods had the habit of eating their eldest sons; this was related to the environment at the time.

Simply put, during ancient times, tribal conflicts, and lacking the concept of chastity, women were mostly spoils of war.

This led to the result that the first child given birth to by a woman you snatched over wasn't necessarily yours. Therefore, they were often taken to be sacrificed, which could solve some unnecessary troubles.

For example, the relatively famous Bo Yikao with high probability was killed and eaten by Ji Chang.

[Lin Xuan]: Evidence?

[Lin Tang]: Have you been very lethargic these past few days?

Chen Ran thought about it, canceling his suppressed Mental State, and immediately a wave of intense drowsiness assaulted him.

[Lin Xuan]: Yes.

[Lin Tang]: Then that's right. They are already preparing. To prevent you from escaping in the middle of the night, they fed you sleeping pills. If you still don't believe it, tomorrow you can try to go out and see if they will let you out.

[Lin Xuan]: What should I do?

After sending this sentence, no matter how much Chen Ran sent messages, there were no replies.

Chen Ran deleted the chat records, but still felt it wasn't secure, so he simply blacklisted Lin Tang.

Only then did he fall asleep.

The next day, Chen Ran woke up.

He saw a middle-aged woman, holding a bowl in her hands, sitting in front of the bed. The look in her eyes as she looked at him was like looking at some rare delicacy. Not knowing if it was an illusion, Chen Ran glimpsed the woman just wiping some drool from the corner of her mouth.

"Little Xuan you're awake, quickly eat the things in the bowl, then go take a bath and wash yourself thoroughly clean."

Chen Ran took a look inside the bowl; good heavens, there were actually five or six poached eggs.

Chen Ran took the bowl, eating all the poached eggs inside. Only then did the woman satisfactorily leave holding the bowl.

Chen Ran got up.

Again examining the bedroom, his gaze fell upon a schedule pasted behind the door.

[Morning: Bath, Eat.

[Noon: Bath, Eat.

[Afternoon: Bath, Eat.

[Night: Bath, Eat.

Continuing to look down.

[No Smoking!

[No Staying Up Late!

After reading it, Chen Ran took a shower, put on his clothes, and walked out of the bedroom.

This was a two-story villa.

Standing on the second floor.

He discovered a middle-aged man directing a few people to move a...

Let's call it a Christmas Tree for now.

Simply because, this [Christmas Tree] wasn't plastic, it was made of iron. The dense branches and leaves looked like countless barbs.

The middle-aged man seeing Chen Ran hurriedly pulled the door shut. With a 'click', the door actually automatically locked.

At this time, the middle-aged woman, holding a bowl of what let's call bacon slices for now, arrived in front of the iron Christmas Tree.

"Husband, look, in a few days cutting it into this size, is it okay?"

The middle-aged man nodded, picking up a slice of meat and hanging it on a barb of the iron Christmas Tree.

At the same time, the two's gazes from time to time fell upon Chen Ran at the doorway of the second floor.

Chen Ran fished out his cell phone.

He came before the iron tree, picking up a slice of meat and also hanging it up, smiling at the two: "Hanging meat on top, are you preparing to air-dry it to keep and eat as cured meat? This isn't right either, cured meat must be marinated in advance?"

"You don't hang it like this." Saying this, the middle-aged man pulled his hand. Not knowing if it was intentional, while guiding Chen Ran to hang the meat, his arm scraped against an iron branch. Instantly fresh blood flowed straight out. And the reaction of the two was very strange, they didn't care at the first moment, but instead stared straight at Chen Ran's bleeding arm, a certain strangeness surfacing in their eyes as they subconsciously licked their lips.

Chen Ran slowly raised his arm, the two's gazes moving along with his arm.

Right after, Chen Ran stuck out his tongue and licked his wound. This kind of action brought a temptation as if saying: come and eat me quickly ah.

Chen Ran pulled his legs and ran towards the main door.

"Quickly stop..." The middle-aged man who was scared out of his wits hadn't even finished the word [him] when he saw...

Chen Ran suddenly stopped, crouching down and patting non-existent dust off his slippers, then asked with an innocent face:

"Stop who?"

The two seemingly also didn't expect that Chen Ran would crazily disco on the edge of seeking death like this.

The well-crafted eerie atmosphere, being messed with like this by Chen Ran, made the atmosphere somewhat awkward.

This was the Second Realm of Lingtai.

Players under this kind of Mental State would no longer have any constraints in an Instance. The eerie atmosphere given to their Personal Common Sense by characters or environments could no longer affect them, and their application of rules would be even handier.

Therefore, it would appear very casual.

The middle-aged woman took the medical kit and bandaged Chen Ran's wound well, it was just...

Chen Ran smelled it; the bandaged location had a faint smell of spices.

And it was intensely painful!

Chen Ran helplessly covered his forehead, giving a thumbs up to Lin Xuan's mother.

Chen Ran was already too lazy to verify further. Walking back to his room, he opened his cell phone.

Taking Lin Tang out of the blacklist.

[Lin Xuan]: You guessed right, they indeed won't let me go out.

The opposite side replied almost in seconds.

[Lin Tang]: Then it's troublesome. I've read the ancient texts within the family. On the day of your birthday, they should knock you out, hang you on the Divine Tree and bleed you, until you drain the last drop of blood, only then starting to cut.

[Lin Tang]: Oh right, the Divine Tree for the sacrifice should be at your house now, right?

[Lin Xuan]: Yup.

[Lin Xuan]: No bro, why are you blabbering so much, just directly tell me how to destroy the sacrifice.
