Two orange-red fireballs intertwined in mid-air, sliding out of two elegant arcs, like a deformed cross or a pair of sharp scissors.
The firelight fell.
A raging fire instantly rose from between the firewood piles, illuminating the originally dark place. The dark red light danced, reflecting the strange masks, like a mottled and strange impressionistic watercolor painting.
The Wuyang Wuyang crowd surrounding the pyre suddenly dispersed outwards, leaving an extremely obvious open space between the pyre and the crowd.
The sound of winter drums sounded from nowhere, making the fire tremble.
Accompanied by the desolate and weird songs, a group of figures with big furry tails appeared hand in hand, surrounded the fire, and danced the ancient witchcraft dance.
The black cat's eyes widened immediately, and he couldn't help but take a step forward, almost falling down the tree.
Immediately, it realized that those figures with big furry tails were not fox wizards, but just dressed up like everyone else tonight.
"Is it so grand?"
The black cat couldn't help but doubt the reality - despite all kinds of psychological preparations, it originally thought that tonight was just a carnival of a group of fanatic fans wearing masks.
Instead of the solemn speeches and solemn prayer dances like now, there was a decent sense of ceremony from beginning to end.
"grand?"
The Sinner turned his head and glanced at the black cat: "The Halloween celebration is like this every year... except that it was only popular among Atlas and Alpha in the past. This year, there are Jiuyou and Xingkong, so it is even more lively. Yes...but to say it's grand, it's far less grand than it was a few decades ago...Back then, school professors were involved in Halloween! Alas, these days, no matter what festival it is, the holiday flavor is getting more and more dull."
The black cat didn't pay attention to the few complaints from the wizard next to him.
It stared intently at the dancing firelight in the distance and the figures jumping in the firelight, and was very curious about how the ceremony would proceed in the future.
While he was thinking about it, the wizard wearing a Haechi mask suddenly shouted: "Please sacrifice!"
"Please give me a sacrifice!
"
"Please give me a sacrifice!
!”
The melodious voice spread far away in the dark night, swirling and stirring, as if more than one wizard spoke at the same time, and the sound was like a loud bell.
The strange and desolate songs around the fire became louder and louder, and the flames became more intense.
The black cat subconsciously tucked its tail between its hind legs, arched its back unconsciously, flattened its ears, and stared warily at the scene in the distance that made the cat uneasy.
The wizard wearing a white mask calmly paid attention to the reaction of the black cat, guessing its identity in his heart - although the professor reminded him not long ago to keep a low profile recently and not to provoke the relevant departments or the young wizards of the two hunting teams. , but this black cat is not among them.
"As expected." Black Cat muttered softly.
The sinner suddenly came back to his senses, and his eyes fell on the noisy venue again. He saw four tall wizards carrying huge wooden frames and slowly entering from the side. The crowd in front of them was like a tide.
The two sides recede, leaving a spacious passage.
On the wooden frame, there is a tall straw man tied up. The straw man has a funny carrot nose and obsidian eyes. He wears a half-black and half-white hat on his head and wears a plain white robe. There are two signs hanging on the front and back of the robe.
The two characters are "sacrifice" and the next two characters are "Zheng Qing".
"As expected?" The sinner pondered the word, and his eyes fell on the black cat next to him again: "You seem to know that tonight's sacrifice is not that Zheng Qing?"
The black cat's ears suddenly stood up and turned.
"Haha," it laughed dryly: "It's also the number one university after all... It's customary to make a fuss, but it's definitely not allowed to go too far. I don't think the school will allow a student with great potential to be burned to death in front of everyone...
…This is the First University, not the Inquisition.”
boom!
A sudden red light in the distance interrupted this brief conversation on the old locust tree. When one person and one cat turned around, they found that the straw man had been thrown into the fire, and red flames were rising several feet high.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but when the flame burned, the black cat felt a slight tingling sensation all over its body, as if it was shirtless and being exposed to the sun in the summer.
Sparks were flying everywhere, and the atmosphere at the ceremony almost reached its climax. On the tall wooden platform, four wizards wearing four-color robes raised their Dharma books and spoke loudly:
"The parade begins!
!”
boom!
As if to annotate this sentence, the blazing fire once again raised several tall flame ears. At the same time, the crowd surrounding the fire cheered and jumped for joy, and suddenly accelerated the speed of rotation, and in an instant
Four teams are divided, and the wizard headed by each team will hold a burning straw man high.
Colorful cursed lights continued to rise from the team, transforming into strange and colorful ghosts.
Those illusory ghosts hovered over the crowd, laughing and dancing wildly, trailing long magic light tails behind them, and finally crashed into the burning straw man at the front of the team. Every time a ghost hit, the crowd would emit a loud noise.
Shouts of excitement.
The black cat didn't need to look carefully to determine what was written on the signs hanging on the chests of the straw men.
"Oh, burning one is not enough!"
They all muttered, and their expressions became more and more subtle. However, it was difficult for others to notice the subtle changes in the facial expressions of a black cat in the night.
After the parade circled the largest fire in the square a few times, it turned into four fire dragons and advanced in four directions. One of them came towards the direction of the black cat. As expected, this should belong to Jiuyou.
College team.
Sure enough, Black Cat saw many familiar figures in this approaching team.
For example, the guy at the front of the team holding the burning straw man high in the air, his sturdy figure is more than twice as tall as the others, his blue skin shines with purple-red luster under the firelight, and his passionate voice is as loud as thunder:
"Burn him!"
The fat wizard held the torch high, filled with righteous indignation, and was surrounded by cheering crowds on both sides, shouting slogans of 'burn him to death', and headed towards the direction of the school.
The black cat sneered again and again, and began to wonder whether he should hide some nightmare charms under the fat man's pillow when he returned, or let Maodou pick up his homework and throw it into Linzhong Lake.
Three short little witches ran in and out of the crowd hand in hand, each holding a straw man with his head removed, screaming "burn him to death" from time to time. They wore fox masks on their heads,
There is a big fluffy tail trailing behind him, but one of the tails is real and the other two tails are fake.
Black Cat tugged on his ears, feeling that it was not strange at all to see these three little girls on such an occasion. The only strange thing was that they didn't bring Lin Guo in.
This made Black Cat feel a little relieved - after all, there was someone who didn't participate in this boring and silly-looking parade.
