Because the video was taken late at night, it was very dark, but with the torchlight, you could still see a group of people in red robes gathered around a statue, chanting something. However, loud hymns being played around them made it hard to hear clearly.
And that statue was the same giant owl Brother Ni and his team had seen, the scene was exactly the same.
When the video was halfway through, the chanting finally stopped. The leader in the robe raised a torch in hand and threw it into the altar's stone plate, igniting a roaring flame. Then a huge cheer erupted from the surrounding crowd.
If it ended here, it wouldn't seem like much—just like an ordinary religious play.
But everyone heard it—a piercing scream mixed with the cheers, a scream familiar to players, not one of torture or murder, but of painful wailing from being engulfed in flames.
