"The mayor agreed. But after my mother was caught for the Human Sacrifice, he went back on his word and drove me out." Amao said coldly, "If not for us being too young to qualify as sacrifices, the mayor would have offered us too."
She gently asked, "Do the townspeople have no objections to such live sacrifices?"
"What opinions could they have? They're not the ones dying." Amao sneered coldly, "On the contrary, it's good for these poor souls in the town to die, not burdening others, and even bringing rain for them. They died well, died with a purpose!" Though his words were indifferent, his eyes revealed a venomous look, clearly harboring deep resentment.
She sighed inwardly. The act of live human sacrifice, not just here, was not uncommon even in ancient Huaxia, from the clan era to the Shang Dynasty, it was always a precedent until the Spring and Autumn Period when Confucianism advocated 'Humanitarianism' and the trend of Human Sacrifice gradually faded away.
