In fact, Ning Feng had already discovered the abnormality in the room without Arianna's reminder.
The sour smell of rotten food filled the room, and the floor was covered with dust. Judging from the facilities, it seemed that this place was originally the kitchen of a hotel, but it had been abandoned for a while.
But this was not what attracted his attention the most. The real abnormality was the altar made of dark blood on the ground.
Perhaps it is wrong to call it an altar. It is very different from the altars Ning Feng had seen before.
It's dilapidated, crude, and without any power, just like ordinary graffiti.
"What's happening here?"
Ning Feng was a little confused about the situation in front of him. He seemed to have found a clue, but he didn't seem to find the right point.
"Ahem..."
At this moment, the man whose mind he had controlled couldn't hold back the blood that surged into his throat due to the impact just now, and coughed out.
He was lying with his eyes blank, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, and he looked a little weird.
The smell of coughed up blood spread in the air, making the smell of the whole room even more unpleasant, but Ning Feng moved his nose at this moment.
"Um?"
With confusion in his eyes, Ning Feng looked the man up and down.
Ning Feng originally thought that the smell in the room came from the rotten food, but he didn't expect that it actually came from the man's blood.
The blood used on the altar is exactly the same as the blood spurted from the man's mouth!
In other words, this altar was entirely built with his own blood.
"Ah, did I arrest a good person by mistake?"
Is this eldest brother the kind of good person who lives in darkness, but has a bright heart, and would rather use his own blood to perform rituals than harm others?
Was a good citizen killed by mistake?
After carefully looking at the man's appearance and temperament, Ning Feng thought for a moment and then shook his head.
"It's so unlikeable!"
Ning Feng was unwilling to do something rude like judging a book by its appearance, but judging from the temperament exuding from his body, the aura of depravity exuding from this man was real.
No matter how he is now, he must have fallen in the past.
"What are you struggling with? How can such a beautiful and precious soul be seen so easily?"
At this time, Arianna felt a little funny and poked Ning Feng's cheek with her tail.
"You may not have a clear understanding of creatures like demons."
"What are timid demons? They are just the lowest level of demons. They don't have much wisdom. They are greedy and timid."
"When facing the weak, they are the embodiment of cruelty and greed, but when facing the strong, they appear extremely well-behaved."
"You can think of them as goblins among demons, but they are even crazier."
Demons exist in compliance with the desires in their hearts, and the biggest desire of a coward is fear.
They fear everything, including their own death.
"As for why he was not dazzled by the desire to kill and attacked ordinary people, it is probably because he has been left with a deep psychological shadow. Coupled with his own human wisdom, he can barely restrain his inner desires.
."
"Just like just now, he wanted to attack you but was worried about being killed by you, so he could only stare at your back with hot eyes, waiting for you to relax~"
He patted Ning Feng's shoulder in a meaningful way, and the black cat smiled ambiguously:
"You are so enthusiastically pursued, you are really liked by men! You can be proud~"
Ah.
Having begun to get used to Arianna's speaking style, Ning Feng did not reply at this time.
Otherwise, the meaningless conversation will be endless!
Ning Feng was not happy at all about being liked by a man. What made him even more amused was the young man in front of him...
"In other words, because he was afraid of being discovered and eliminated, he kept refraining from attacking ordinary people."
"But following the revelation in his bloodline, he always wanted to build his own advanced ritual, but in the end he could only reluctantly build an altar with his own blood?"
Is this the transformation that happens after reaching a certain level of cowardice!?
What a ruthless person!
"But what does this have to do with the clues you mentioned? We are looking for the Evil God Altar, not a ceremonial altar for the advancement of the Demon Awakener... Wait."
After saying this, Ning Feng suddenly thought of a possibility and looked at the black cat with some uncertainty.
"Could it be said that the two are connected to some extent? Can they be traced in reverse?"
Qiang Qiang~
Sound effects rang in his mind, and Black Cat rubbed his head against Ning Feng's cheek encouragingly:
"That's right!"
"Although their uses and types are different, they are essentially the same kind of altar, so it makes sense that they can be used universally, right?"
Although this statement felt strange and there seemed to be something wrong with it, Ning Feng decisively chose to ignore the details and asked instead:
"So can this altar be used now? Or does it need to be replenished completely, but where can we find the blood?"
If you apply, the Watch Club will definitely be able to provide it, but Ning Feng still doesn't want to expose his relationship with Arianna.
And he also felt that others should not be able to do this kind of thing...
"Are you worried about blood?"
After blinking, the black cat tilted his head in confusion, pointed at the man lying on the ground, and said strangely:
“Isn’t there something ready-made there?”
The two looked at each other, and both understood the meaning in each other's eyes.
Ariana: What are you talking about?
Ning Feng: What are you talking about!
The two looked at each other affectionately, and once again understood that there were still some differences between them in terms of outlook on life.
In the end, Ning Feng lost the big-eyed competition and said with a frown:
"If that much blood was taken at once, he would die."
He did not say anything like "This kind of thing is too evil and cannot be done!" Such high-sounding words showed that Ning Feng was not a completely kind person and was not pedantic.
But he was still a little hesitant about taking a barely innocent life.
Ning Feng personally advocates the view that "no one is perfect when it comes to deeds, and no one is perfect when it comes to heart".
It would be okay if this man was a bad guy who did all kinds of evil. Ning Feng could use him as material without any psychological burden at all.
But no matter what this man was thinking in his heart, he did not go against his heart to kill anyone. From this point of view, he was still relatively innocent.
After a long silence, Ariana looked deeply at Ning Feng, and finally showed a smile that he couldn't understand.
She laughed and said:
"Wouldn't it be better if we don't drain it all at once?"
"You also know that the devil's flesh and blood recovery ability is quite good."
Ning Feng thought for a while, then nodded:
"It's cruel."
"But I like it."
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if there was no longer any barrier, and both looked at the unconscious man lying on the ground.
