Blood sacrifices have been around since ancient times. Especially in slave societies, there would be a large number of slaves, and those cattle and horses would be sacrificed with blood, or even alive, which sounds very terrifying.
However, after entering feudal society, this situation gradually became less common. Then entering modern times, these things are no longer possible in today's society.
In addition to the possible slaughter of cattle, sheep and pigs, those are legally allowed.
What Xiao Chen didn't expect was that two living lives would be lost just like that.
"I don't want to, I really don't want to harm them." Liu Gong said.
"Then why did you tell them to go down? They knew they were going to die." Xiao Chen said.
Obviously, this was agreed upon by the three senior engineers and Liu Gong, because now we have to rush the work, and since the inversion has not been successful, I am afraid that there is really no other way but to use this most evil method.
way to do it.
Of course, Xiao Chen felt that ordinary people really couldn't do such an inhumane approach.
"At the beginning, we just invited Feng Shui masters and masters to come over and look at it. We felt that there was something wrong with that position, so we poured a lot of pig blood into it at first, but there was still no way. Later, the three senior engineers may have asked someone, and finally
This is the only way."
"Who asked?"
"I don't know where they found a mage who understands the Red Ceremony. I heard that they only need to ask two people to accompany them. I was unwilling to do that at first, but now I can't stop working. If
The downtime is very costly.”
"So, in the end, money defeated your conscience?"
Liu Gong didn't speak, but it could be seen from his expression.
While he was taking a deep breath on the cigarette, Liu Gong continued: "Originally, I wanted to go to the hospital to find a dead baby to replace it, or even to find a baby directly. Anyway, there are so many miscarriages every year, so I should be able to buy two babies.
of."
Replace with a dead baby or a baby?
Xiao Chen felt it was still too cruel.
Of course, the situation of a dead baby is definitely better than that of a living baby.
"Unexpectedly, the mage said that two living people are needed, and it is best to be young and strong. It is useless to use dead bodies."
Is it that mage again?
Xiao Chen thinks this mage is too evil!
I have always advised others to do good deeds, but I didn’t expect that someone would actually advise others to do such a thing.
"Then you do this!"
"yes."
Liu Gong said.
"Then do you know? The three senior engineers died one after another, and the death methods were all very strange. One died in a hot air balloon explosion, and even the bones could not be found, the second drowned directly, and the remaining one fell from rock climbing first.
, and then he unexpectedly jumped down and died in the hospital.”
"I know, they must have come back for revenge," Liu Gong said.
Those three senior engineers were the masterminds, and he was the coercion. Of course, it could also be that he did it.
Unexpectedly, those three people died so tragically.
Now when it was his turn, Liu Gong said: "I have been having uneasy conscience this past year. I can't eat well or sleep well every day. I always think about how they used to be and their families, the former
For a while, when I returned to my hometown for vacation, I didn’t know why, but I always felt like these two people were always following me.”
"And then you had a mental problem?"
"Yes, I feel like they are always by my side. When I walk, one of them hunches in front of me and the other hugs behind us. They always look at me with their sinister eyes, and occasionally they say "Let me go"
Go down and stay with them, they are lonely down there."
"What about you now?"
"I don't feel that way anymore, but I still have an uneasy conscience and fear. I know that I will never be able to wash away my sins in this life, and I owe them too much."
After this incident, Liu Gong felt very uncomfortable at first. After all, he had never done anything like this in so many years as a contractor.
The fact that he was able to lead more and more migrant workers was thanks to the trust of the villagers in him. If those villagers knew that he had done this, they would probably eat his flesh directly.
Of course, there were other people who knew about it and had been bribed, so this matter did not spread.
Moreover, it has been so long now and no one seems to mention it again.
"Dr. Xiao, I can die, but I don't want them to harm other people again." Liu Gong knew that the three senior engineers, as well as him, were all worthy of death.
Because this incident was not recognized by the two young migrant workers, they were deceived into going there. In addition, they were too young and were not even married yet, so they died like this.
Therefore, Liu Gong felt that his death and even the death of the three senior engineers seemed to be normal at all.
"Why use this evil blood sacrifice to solve this problem? Is there no other way? And you have been in this industry for so many years, have things like this always happened?"
Regarding the first question, Liu Gong could not answer, because at that time, he did use various methods, stopping work three times, wasting a lot of man-hours, and it can be said that the loss was huge.
If the problem cannot be solved, this is the only way to do it.
"Dr. Xiao, I don't know about other solutions. However, in this industry now, whether it is building bridges and roads, digging tunnels, building houses, dams, or railways, it is basically the same. Even many bridges and large
Dams and railways have caused more deaths."
"Is this also a blood sacrifice?"
"Part of it is active, most of it is passive."
The so-called initiative refers to the two young people Liu Gong mentioned just now. Even though they knew that those two young people would die, they still wanted to sacrifice blood to the gods through that method, and then pray for the smooth completion of the big project.
As for the so-called passiveness, it means that many workers under construction, even staff such as senior engineers, will die inexplicably during the period.
Some may be crushed to death, some may be burned to death, and some may be drowned. Anyway, there are various ways to die. It is normal to say that these passive injuries are work-related injuries, because
These seemingly normal deaths were caused by accidental deaths or injuries during work.
Xiao Chen checked the news on the web that day and found that basically every major project had casualties, but some were less and some were more, and most of them would be concealed and not known to outsiders.
Therefore, it can be said that every major project is truly filled with blood and tears, and may even require human lives to be completed. (To be continued)
