Chapter 367 - 65_5
Inside, an unknown number of fireflies resided, and the current echo was actually their internal layers awakening. They fluttered their wings, fully awake now, like ghostly flames ignited upon a pile of bones.
In the bones, the outermost were horses, cows, sheep, pigs, dogs, and chickens; the middle contained tigers, deer, bears, apes, and birds.
These corresponded respectively to the six domesticated animals and five wild creatures.
Many scattered bones were around, but most still retained the intact structure of their assembly. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so easily recognizable.
The very center, which supported the height of the bone pile, was human.
Human skeletal remains, like a construction game, were piled upon each other. One dragged the other, and one supported the other as they climbed upward, forming the main support of the bone pile.
Xue Liangliang opened his mouth, his eyes filled with shock. With a professional mindset, what he saw was an aesthetics combining mechanics and beauty.
*Perhaps, among the four present, the only one who could deeply feel the cruelty and reluctance was Tan Wenbin.*
*Human sacrifice, or so-called artworks created using human lives, always evoked a sense of kinship in misfortune.*
*Yet, as Tan Wenbin looked left and right, Run Sheng still had his usual expressionless face, while Xiao Yuan and Liangliang were more appreciative. He kept murmuring in his heart: "It’s all in the past, it’s all in the past."*
After the silent prayer, he also pinched his own leg forcefully, so hard that tears welled up from the pain.
