    Hello everyone, I need some help for understanding this sentence --他吐露灭世预言后七孔渗血的样子. I mean, I know the general meaning of it, but the 'bleeding out of the seven apertures' really confused me.
    Thank you~

    Yeah, so, from the sentence, it's also included in the prophecy of destruction?

    Yeah, if you put it that way, though I would translate with lovecraft style.
