They were all barefoot, sitting on the cold cement floor, their small hands tied, all staring fearfully and uneasily at Choo Lan standing among them.
Gu Qiaoqiao immediately noticed Dongdong, the child who arrived last and was surely crying terribly, his small face covered with tear marks and dirt, but now he didn't even dare to cry, evidently frightened.
A few of the children's faces were bluish-purple, clearly on the brink of life and death.
In the center was a high altar used for sacrifices.
A tube was tied to the children's wrists, and these nine tubes were all concentrated in a copper basin on the sacrificial altar, and right in front of the basin was a statue with a bizarre expression.
The statue, with pitch-black eyes, seemed to be staring intently at Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize.
