Underneath the cabin in the forest, a huge base is operating in an orderly manner.
The sacrifice of the new year is about to be carried out again. Facing this moment that determines the fate of the world, the two managers in the base are not nervous at all. For them, this matter has long been familiar to them.
Besides, they are not the only base in the world that does this kind of thing, as long as one area succeeds.
So the two executives were still at the coffee machine discussing plans for the weekend after the mission was completed.
The young assistant ran over with the document in his arms and nervously said to the two casual middle-aged men: "Reitiodine failed."
The two supervisors shrugged indifferently, and one of them held a coffee cup and said nonchalantly: "So what?"
The assistant reminded: "Now we and the Japanese branch are the only ones left."
Taking a sip of coffee, the supervisor said: "This is not the first time. The Japanese branch has always done well, and we can only rank second."
"But if we fail..."
"Except for the accident in 1998, we have never failed! If you still have time, why not think about what to put in tonight's gamble..."
The two supervisors sang in harmony, leaving the serious and responsible assistant speechless.
Despite what they said, the two supervisors drove their walking cars to the control room to observe the sacrifice's actions.
But when he saw the people in the room, the supervisor asked suspiciously: "What are they doing?"
The equipment operator on the side said sleepily: "Uh... the 'scholars' are about to carry out vegetation survey and environmental testing projects."
"I'm going to die for working so hard."
The supervisor said something that was either mocking or praising, and went to organize tonight's gambling game. For them, everything was as planned.
In order for the sacrificial ceremony to proceed in an orderly manner, a strict process has been formulated for the entire sacrifice. You only need to follow the process and there will be no mistakes.
They had already used various drugs to make the sacrifices dull and brainless, and then used various mechanisms in the hut to make the sacrifices experience life and death torture.
In order to find some happiness in this process-based sacrifice, these people made bets on which monster these sacrifices would die in according to the type of monster.
The people below are boringly gambling with the lives of the people above, while the people above are acting out a drama that they believe to be true.
As soon as Jonathan arrived, he fell down on the sofa and slept, which was in line with his habit of sleeping when he was older.
Alvin led other 'students' to complete his own research tasks.
Until nightfall, everyone gathered in the hall of the hut, and Jonathan woke up from his sleep.
Stretching out, Jonathan looked around and said a little bored: "Let's play cards and bet on something..."
After that, Jonathan took out a deck of cards from his pocket and threw it on the table in front of him.
The supervisor who saw this scene through surveillance said to his subordinates operating the machine: "Increase the dose of pheromones and make them make excited wrong choices..."
Pheromones were released into the cabin along with the ventilation ducts, and the five people present were aware of it.
The enhancement of biochemical viruses and various magic potions have long made investigators immune to this method. Even if they are injected intravenously, it may not affect the investigators' sanity.
However, in order to be consistent with the identity of the sacrifice, everyone still expressed their excitement and irrationality.
Especially after Jonathan won the eleventh round and Levi had lost all his money.
Levi overturned the card table, and after realizing that his behavior was inappropriate, he sat in a corner of the sofa gloomily.
The card games could not be played, and the excitement was about to dissipate.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, the supervisor ordered people to open the cellar and start the sacrifice.
Just like in The Evil Dead, the trap door of the cellar opens inexplicably, tempting people to take a closer look.
As soon as everyone reached the cellar entrance, Jonathan's voice interrupted them.
"Wait! Don't you think it's strange? A cellar that blows open when there is no wind? How is this different from a horror movie?"
Hanji asked in response: "Horror movie? Jonathan, where did you watch it?"
After Jonathan took a puff of cigarette, he said: "In horror movies, every horror movie puts people in an isolated place, just like now..."
Levi stood up and said unhappily: "Are you living in the movie? Jonathan, don't be a coward!"
After saying that, Levi kicked the trap door of the cellar and walked down first.
This is not to go against Jonathan, but to allow the sacrifice mission to proceed smoothly. As a sacrifice, the sacrifice will eventually begin. It is just an act to make the people behind the scenes less suspicious.
Not long after Levi entered the cellar, he heard his exclamation.
"Guys, come down and take a look!"
The entire cellar is full of weird and strange props, and it looks like a utility room.
But everyone understands that this is a necessary step to summon ghosts. After all, they have to die by their own choice.
When everyone looked around, they inadvertently looked at Jonathan, who came down last.
This is a kind of inquiry. After all, it is dark now and Jonathan needs to be commanded.
Each item in the cellar represents a ghost that will kill the sacrifice.
Alvin said before when putting the car away, and Jonathan naturally knew this. He used the smoke from his cigarette to cover his panic, and pretended not to care and said: "It seems that we have found the collection of the owner of this house.
Why don't we pick one each? There are so many things here that he won't be able to find them."
An item summons a ghost. For anyone present, a ghost is no match for them. If it is a werewolf or zombie, even the weakest Jonathan can block it for a hundred.
It is better to muddy the water completely and let more monsters delay time for them. This is Jonathan's idea. Anyway, it will be delayed until dawn. The more monsters, the better.
At this moment, everyone no longer has any resistance to stealing. After all, they are all under the influence of 'drugs'.
Alvin got a round needle-prick Rubik's Cube, Hanji got a white conch, Levi got an old toy pony, and Luo Corian got a white mask.
Seeing that everyone had received the items, Jonathan pulled out a cane from the wooden barrel on the side. As a Yingguo person, he needed a cane that fit his identity.
"Okay, let's leave quickly. If we stay too long, it won't be good if the 'owner' here finds out..."
The masters here are only the monitors behind the scenes. Now that each of them has obtained the summons, as long as they don't solve the Rubik's Cube, blow the conch shell, and put on the mask, everything will be fine.
As if he had become a thief, Jonathan urged everyone to leave the cellar, and was the last to close the trap door, and then placed a chest of drawers on the trap door to cover up the theft by himself and others.
After putting away the chest of drawers, Jonathan said with a guilty conscience: "Okay, let's go and have a rest. Nothing happened here."
Everyone who felt guilty responded and followed Jonathan's instructions. They all returned to their rooms and really lay down on the bed to rest.
But this choice made the sacrifice managers behind the scenes panic.
The choice was made, but they did not summon them. How could the sacrifice manager release the monsters to complete the sacrifice?
The supervisor urged the members of the chemistry department, saying: "Release more drugs and let them start taking action!"
"However, we have released enough. If we continue to release more, normal people will die suddenly."
"Damn it!"
The chemistry department's response made the supervisor curse, and he could only pick up the phone and ask the management department to release the monster according to the five people's choice.
No one summoned, but Jonathan and others made a choice, which barely complied with the sacrifice process. And the selection of multiple monsters was not unheard of in previous sacrifice species, but there were not so many.
So the Lord of Hell, the Black Lake Monster, the Unicorn, the Masked Killer and the Scarecrow were all released.
These monsters are usually stored in square glass boxes in the base below. As long as they are selected by the sacrifices, they will be released from the ground.
After the monsters appeared, only the masked killers took action first. As masked killers, what they like most is to take away people's lives at night.
Locked up in a square glass box, they can only come out for air when they are selected every year. In order to satisfy their desire to kill, this group of masked murderers were the first to start acting.
The masked killers walked straight towards the hut, and they felt the location of their target.
Three masked killers in suits appeared outside Luo Kelian's window. They raised the knives in their hands and slowly inserted them into the gap in the window.
I don't know whether it was the sacrifice manager's method or the superb skills of the masked murderer, but this wooden window, which had been built for who knows how many years, did not make a single sound.
The three killers looked at Luo Corian sleeping on the bed, looked at the white mask on the bedside, and confirmed their prey.
When the three people raised the knives in their hands and prepared to cut him into pieces, Luo Kelian opened his eyes for some unknown reason.
Now Luo Kelian no longer pretended, she directly raised her hidden weapon and shot the heads of the three people who appeared in her room.
The gunshot was the signal, and the others came to Luo Kelian's room and looked at the body on the ground.
Alvin asked at this time: "Jonathan, what should we do next?"
After a brief thought, Jonathan said: "Let me think about it, I made a joke with Casper before, and Casper told me some things that should never be done in horror movies."
"First! Don't look in the mirror at night, smash all the mirrors now!"
The five people took action one after another, smashing the mirrors in their rooms and scratching all reflective items. Even the stainless steel kettles they brought were put on the fire to blacken them.
On the other side, the sacrifice managers were a little crazy.
The supervisors asked their subordinates in disbelief: "Why does that woman have a gun?"
"Maybe that's why she's still a 'virgin'?"
The supervisor would not agree with his subordinate's clever statement. He picked up the phone and urged the operations department to speed up the monsters.
In the hut, Jonathan started his own instructions and said: "Second, strengthen all doors and windows, and never respond to anyone who asks!"
"Third, don't act alone. Anyone who dies will be alone!"
"Fourth, never believe the voice behind you!"
"Fifth, never put down your weapons!"
…
Listening to Jonathan talking about the survival rules of horror movies, everyone did what they were told. In the sight of others, they blocked the surrounding windows and doors with sofas and wooden boards, and then everyone shut their mouths.
Looking at the five people surrounding the fire, the sacrifice manager suddenly became furious.
The drug could not affect the mentality of the sacrifice, so the first step failed, and Jonathan's subsequent behavior completely blocked the monster from the door.
The supervisor asked: "Let the scarecrow go out, it can sneak into the room through the gap."
"But they were by the fire, and the scarecrow was afraid of fire."
"Fake!"
The supervisor completely lost confidence, but he received even worse news.
"The Japanese branch failed, and the curse was sealed by those children..."
"F...gram!"
The supervisor was completely furious. He punched the air and said, "How long will it take for the masked killer to be resurrected?"
The subordinate replied submissively: "It may take several months. We have never fed them any 'live animals'."
Other sacrifices around the world have failed. If those sacrifices still stay in the room until dawn, the world will usher in destruction.
Just when the supervisor was incompetent and furious, a special ringtone forced him to calm down. A red phone mounted on the wall was conveying higher-level meaning.
The supervisor picked up the phone, listened to the voice on the other side, and said, "Yes... I know, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, the supervisor told his men: "Gradually release all the monsters in the base. They must die here."
