Chapter 166 Evil Sacrifice
After cutting off the fish, Lin Huan turned back and stopped the fishermen from continuing to kill the dolphins.
"You have killed so many, can't you let these few go? Especially the little dolphin."
When Lin Huan was tearing up the fishing boat just now, several dolphins tried to take the opportunity to rush out of the bay, but were blocked by the fishing boat again.
A little dolphin, for no apparent reason, jumped out of the water and let out a miserable cry. The original warm blue skin had been dyed a pale purple by the blood.
"Get away quickly, the devil from the sea will come soon."
The villagers still had some sense and waved the tools in their hands to ask Lin Hun to leave.
"Bang"
With the sound of a gunshot, an old fisherman with a gray beard directly shouldered his rifle, fired a warning shot into the sky, and pointed the gun at Lin Huan.
"It's you, it's you who attracted the messenger of the devil. The devil is already angry and is devouring our villagers. If these dolphins don't die, people in Taiji Town will die. Young man, so get out of here or I will kill you.
Top number."
The old man's words shocked Lin Hun. He had attracted the devil's messenger? Those sharks?
"It's nonsense. I don't want to destroy your perverted customs, but I must save these dolphins."
Lin Hun, who was struggling, was equally stubborn.
"Do it."
"Kaka", the old man loaded the rifle with bullets, aimed at Lin Huan again, and at the same time directed the young fishermen to intercept and kill the remaining dolphins.
Ignoring the opponent's rifle, Lin Hun grabbed the fallen iron hook and pulled the young fisherman into the water.
"Pa", the rifle fired, but did not hit Lin Huan. The old man loaded the gun again, aimed at Lin Huan and pulled the trigger.
"I'll rub it, for real."
After almost being beaten to death, Lin Hun finally realized how crazy this old man was. He pushed hard with both hands, raising the crimson water with a cyclone, and crashed down toward the fishing boat.
The bloody sea water obscured his vision, and Lin Huan took the opportunity to escape to the depths of the bay with a few dolphins.
"You will bring retribution. God, did the devil send this young man down to curse our Taiji Town?"
The old man with a gray beard yelled angrily at Lin Huan, then knelt down on his knees and prayed to the sky.
I took a few dolphins and ran to the open sea. Because I had been diving, although Lin Hun had an air bomb to support me, it was obvious that the dolphins couldn't hold it anymore.
Excessive fear has exhausted their physical strength. Their escape just now was entirely based on their desire for survival. But now, having escaped the shadow of death, the dolphins no longer want to escape. They took a short rest and headed towards Dolphin Bay.
Swim in the direction.
The third undercurrent is like a thunder pool, and these dolphins dare not cross even half a step.
In desperation, Lin Huan followed the dolphins back to Dolphin Cove again. Entering the warm sea, all the fatigue was gone. The dolphins seemed to have regained their strength. They seemed to have forgotten the horror of being killed and played to their heart's content.
water.
This made Lin Hun very puzzled as to what magic power this sea area had that allowed these dolphins to risk their lives to stay.
In the evening of that day, the ancient bell rang, and Taiji Town was in chaos.
Lin Hun was finishing his meal and felt that the bell sounded like a death knell, so he happily ran out to watch the excitement. Naturally, there were a few girls in this kind of excitement.
The sound of the bell also seemed to have infinite magic power. The streets of Taiji Town were already deserted, and more than 4,000 villagers rushed to the top of the mountain almost at the same time.
Under the ancient iron bell, thousands of villagers and tourists soon gathered, forming a large, dark place.
During the day, the old man wore a kimono and conveyed a signal to the villagers that the whale killing festival was now beginning.
An Qi and Lin Hun were shocked after hearing this.
All the people followed the old man and walked towards the bay where the dolphins were killed in the morning. When they reached the beach, it was already evening, and the good fishermen lit torches. Although the tall fishing lanterns illuminated the beach brightly.
The sun sets and the sea breeze blows on your face, making people feel extremely refreshing.
Lin Hun felt very strange. After the large-scale killing in the morning, no matter how powerful the purification ability of this sea area was, it could not completely purify the blood in the bay. But now there is no smell of blood.
After squeezing through the crowd, Lin Hun approached the bay, only to find that the bay was still deep blue, with no trace of blood or fishy smell. Even the pool of blood on the rocks had been washed clean by the waves.
Where did the blood go?
There was no time to think about this issue, because beside the bay, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sea had already begun. There was an altar on the seaside, and sacrifices such as pigs and cow heads were placed on the altar. Black and white sun and moon flags were hung on both sides of the altar.
But there isn’t much content.
"The sea sacrifice begins."
As the white-bearded old man shouted loudly, mournful music sounded, several old men and women were dancing, and several human corpses were carried up.
It was quite far away, but through the telescope, Lin Hun could see clearly that these people were all dressed as local fishermen, and there was even a blond and blue-eyed Westerner.
"No, these dead people look white and tender, they don't look like local fishermen."
Xianya was fully awake at this time. The first time she saw the corpse, she raised her own questions.
Lin Hun could also see clearly that these people were much taller than ordinary fishermen. Under the strong light, their skin glowed with white fluorescence instead of a dark blue light.
Counting the bodies, there were five in total.
A terrible thought suddenly came into Lin Hun's mind. There were exactly five dolphins he rescued. The old man once said that if he didn't kill the dolphins, he would kill as many as possible. Could it be that these crazy guys really killed five people?
Come to worship the Poseidon?
For nearly a hundred years, Wakayama's Dolphin Bay has maintained a secret killing that is rarely known to the outside world. Even in modern times with advanced communications, this ugly custom is still well preserved.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd cried softly. In the chaotic crowd, Lin Hun could still hear it clearly.
Following the sound, a mixed-race woman was looking at the corpse and crying softly.
Feeling that there was an article in it, Lin Hun squeezed through with difficulty, signaled the woman to be silent, and pulled her towards a small mountain col.
When asked why the woman was crying, the woman burst into tears, but her cries were very suppressed.
After finally calming down her emotions, the woman told the reason.
It turns out that like Angel, they are also environmentalists. There are five men and one woman in total, and they came to secretly film the killing of dolphins.
But during the filming process, they were accidentally caught by local villagers and imprisoned.
For some reason, they were released again at noon, but not long after, the five men suddenly disappeared. Because they were standing far away, the woman could not see the faces of those men clearly. Thinking of the five missing companions, the woman could not help herself and began to cry.
.
Lin Hun was helpless and could only comfort him softly and say goodbye. If the whale killing festival started, he would have more important things to do.
Liang Shuang's voice suddenly came from the headphones.
"Lin Huan, I found out a piece of news that before the Whale Killing Festival, people here will kill 99 dolphins and send them to a secret sea cave for sacrifice. The sea cave is in this bay. I heard that there are not enough dolphins this year.
They can only be replaced by humans."
"Oh my god, these people really want to kill people."
Lin Hun whispered, what on earth is in this sea that needs so many corpses to sacrifice.
