Chapter 422 Types of Holy Medicine (Happy New Year to Everyone!)
Wang Tao suddenly thought of the Shang Qin he saw in the underground garage before.
“I don’t know what role he plays in the Twilight Church...”
Shang Qin gave Wang Tao a pretty good feeling, but his strength was very weak, only at the second level. He is probably a deacon at most...
If there is a chance in the future, Wang Tao plans to visit the underground garage again.
Zhu Fen didn't know if there were any other priests besides himself. There were probably none in the base, but there should be some outside. As for how many bishops there were, she didn't know.
The meaning of the badges on their chests is the same as Wang Tao guessed. The diamond-shaped ones are deacons, the square ones are priests, and the round ones are bishops. Among them, the black badge is the junior level, the silver badge is the intermediate level, and the gold badge is the advanced level.
Zhu Fen is now a senior priest. If he goes up one level, he will be a bishop. She is now working hard to become a bishop. Of course, in the current situation, it would be good if she can save her life. She doesn't dare to think about being a bishop anymore.
Wang Tao was very curious about why she, a committee member and one of the 23 highest-ranking people in Changhe Base, became a member of the Twilight Church. It would be reasonable to say that she founded this church, but not only was it not founded by her, she was not even a bishop, and there were people above her...
Faced with this problem, Zhu Fen said that joining the Church of Dusk would allow her to live longer, allow her to be reborn, become stronger, and even live forever!
This answer left Wang Tao speechless. It was obvious that Zhu Fen had also been brainwashed. The thing that can brainwash her is the so-called holy medicine!
Wang Tao learned from Zhu Fen and others that there are two versions of the holy medicine. One is the normal version and the other is the advanced version.
They, the church leaders, drink the premium version, while the believers drink the ordinary version.
The difference between the premium version and the regular version is that there are a few more things in the premium version. Zhu Fen didn't know what it was specifically. Because she didn't know how to prepare these holy medicines, and she didn't know the raw materials. She had bought them from the bishop outside.
What surprised Wang Tao was that Zhu Fen didn't know that the holy medicine was poisonous - to be precise, Zhu Fen didn't know that the holy medicine would kill people, she only knew that the holy medicine was addictive. In her eyes, this holy medicine is similar to smoking cigarettes. At most, it is more addictive than cigarettes, but far from reaching the level of drugs.
And the reason why she thinks so is not only because she has been brainwashed, but more importantly, the advanced version of the holy medicine she drank is different from the ordinary holy medicine.
Wang Tao saw that when Zhu Fen and others came, they were not poisoned. And after they also drank a bowl of holy medicine, they became poisoned. But compared to the poisoned state of others, the poison on them was much lighter.
[Poisoning: Common toxins with a certain degree of addiction. Long-term use can lead to an increase in certain desires. The poison can be detoxified if not taken within 3 days]
Just like the poison on Zhu Fen , her poisoned state also increases certain desires, which is similar to Xia Zhen's. But Xia Zhen’s poison requires 30 days of not taking it to detoxify. Zhufen can detoxify as long as it is not taken for 3 days.
This time has been reduced by 10 times!
Another example is Zhu Fen's third-level bodyguard. The poison he was poisoned was fatal, but the time to get rid of it was also shortened a lot.
[Poisoning: Common toxins with certain addictive properties, which can lead to death if taken for a long time. You can detoxify if you don’t take it within 12 hours]
This time is even less, only 12 hours, which means you can quit by just holding it in for half a day. Compared with Qiu Rong's seven days, the time required to quit was reduced by more than ten times.
This should be the function of the thing added to the advanced version of the holy medicine.
From the perspective of Xia Zhen and Qiu Rong, the onset of "holy medicine addiction" occurs about two to three days after taking it. Therefore, for something like this that can detoxify within 12 hours, you can detoxify yourself before the onset of symptoms.
Even for someone like Zhu Fen, who needed three days to detoxify, she just had to endure it a little and it would be over.
And they don’t drink it often. The bishop said that the advanced version of the holy medicine only needs to be drunk once every three to five days, and the ordinary version should be drunk once a day or two. They have always followed this instruction.
So they don’t think this medicine is poisonous, they think it is similar to cigarettes.
Of course, they think this effect is much more powerful than cigarettes, and the physical pleasure is secondary. The main reason is that they think it can make them reborn.
As for what this so-called rebirth is, Zhu Fen said that the bishop she had met had already been reborn - the bishop would not be attacked by zombies!
She saw with her own eyes that the bishop was in a deserted state among the corpses. The zombies don't attack him at all!
In this post-apocalyptic world, one of the biggest threats to mankind is the zombies that can never be killed. They don't think humans have a chance of winning, after all, there are too many zombies!
But if zombies no longer attack humans and can coexist peacefully, wouldn’t it be equivalent to being reborn!
So they are firm about the effect of this holy medicine.
And the bishop said that not being attacked by zombies is only one aspect of the rebirth of the holy medicine, and there are many other benefits...
You can see the enthusiasm in Zhu Fen's eyes. She really thinks this holy medicine is very powerful.
Wang Tao's face looked a little strange.
Won’t you be attacked by zombies?
Jiang Shixue will not be attacked by zombies!
Her physique is special. She was almost like a zombie before. The zombies would not attack her at all and would treat her as the same kind. Now Jiang Shixue's physique has returned, but the zombie aura may still remain. Anyway, as long as she doesn't get too close to the zombies and doesn't attack them intentionally, the zombies won't attack her.
In addition to Jiang Shixue, Wang Tao also has a concealment potion in his hand, which will not be attacked by zombies.
So, this is considered "rebirth"?
Wang Tao was speechless, but he had no intention of explaining to Zhu Fen.
He thought carefully and felt that the damage caused to the body by poisoning the holy medicine should be permanent, even if it is detoxified.
Wang Tao saw those who were poisoned by pesticides before the end of the world. Even if they finally saved their lives, they might still suffer from illnesses. Not to mention the damage those drugs cause to the body, which is even more terrifying and basically irreversible.
If these poisons are really permanent, then this advanced version of the holy medicine is not necessarily better than the ordinary version...
After all, the ordinary version of the holy medicine is more difficult to quit, but the poisoning is also more obvious, so you can advance it prevention.
For example, Qiu Rong and others, after meeting Wang Tao, Wang Tao will definitely help them detoxify. Even if it was not Wang Tao but someone else who saw it, anyone with a normal mind would be able to tell that there was something wrong with her body. But for people like Zhu Fen, because the time required to quit is relatively short, and they drink once every three to five days, they are usually like normal people and are not in a state of intoxication. Most people cannot tell that they are poisoned.
And they are very enthusiastic about this holy medicine. Even if they physically quit, they still want to drink it, and they have become mentally dependent.
Then a situation may arise - they may look normal, but suddenly die suddenly one day! There are no signs at all, and there is no way to prevent it.
So Wang Tao feels that, relatively speaking, the ordinary version of the holy medicine may be better. At least he can see it and prevent it...
Of course, from the perspective of abstinence, it is definitely The advanced version is better, and you can quit after insisting on it for three days at most. But those who drink high-end drugs are the backbone of the Twilight Church, and they don’t think there is anything wrong with this drug. Some people who drink ordinary drugs may not be completely brainwashed. They want to quit, but it takes too long and they can’t quit at all. Drop...
Wang Tao felt that this should be the purpose of the bishop - the poisoning of the backbone should not be too obvious, otherwise it would be easy to be discovered. So they take the premium version. It doesn't matter to ordinary believers. They don't know the identities of the key members anyway, so it doesn't matter even if they are exposed.
Although Zhu Fen didn't know that this medicine could kill people, she also knew that it was addictive and might have some side effects. If this addictive thing was discovered, everyone would definitely shout and beat her up, so she didn't dare to make it public. She planned to develop slowly, trying to bring the holy medicine from behind the scenes to the front, but unfortunately she was discovered by Wang Tao...
Wang Tao continued to interrogate Zhu Fen and asked her what the side effects were after taking this holy medicine. That is what kind of desire she has enhanced.
But Zhu Fen couldn't answer, because the enhancement of desire is subtle. Zhu Fen didn't feel that her desire was enhanced at all. She felt that she was normal.
There was no other way, Wang Tao could only ask from other angles, and Zhu Fen cooperated. Although she couldn't answer what her desires were that had been enhanced, she told everything she knew as long as Wang Tao asked.
Then Wang Tao discovered that her desire was the same as Xia Zhen's, and she also had the same desire.
But she is much better than Xia Zhen. Xia Zhen is treated as a personal property and cannot resist...
But Zhu Fen is different. She has a large number of holy medicines in her hands, and they are not restricted by others. She said that she had more than ten strong male slaves in her family...
She even had unclear relationships with some of her male subordinates...
Wang Tao could only say , can play.
In addition to Zhu Fen's poisoning state that increases desire, the other third-level official's poisoning state also increases desire.
However, after Wang Tao asked Jiang Shixue to ask some questions, he found that what increased in him was not the desire for male and female affairs, but the desire for power.
No wonder he deliberately trained Xia Zhen but didn't do anything to her. It turned out to be another desire.
Wang Tao frowned.
If it were all about the desire for things between men and women, it would actually be okay, but this desire for power is very troublesome...
For example, these two deputy mayors, one of them increased The desire is "eating", and the other added desire is also "power"!
They wanted to kill Yao Guodong, and it was the deputy mayor who had an increased desire for power. This kind of person was a time bomb for the base.
Fortunately, Zhu Fen is caught now, and other church members can be arrested through Zhu Fen. As a priest, Zhu Fen knew the identities of everyone under her, and she had a list in her hand.
Then Wang Tao asked about Xia Zhen again. Since the deacon had no thoughts about Xia Zhen, why did he treat her like that?
Zhu Fen answered Wang Tao’s doubts - this was her instruction.
Not only Xia Zhen, but also other women, especially the female family members of some officials, were secretly seduced by them to drink the holy medicine, so they all obeyed Zhu Fen's orders!
The reason why Qiu Rong and Li Xin were able to drink the holy medicine was because Zhu Fen was behind the scenes.
Zhu Fen only likes strong men. Naturally, she has no interest in these women. They are just her tools.
At certain critical moments, these women will be of great use, such as the assassination of Yao Guodong.
And that's not all. She specially trained these women, preferably to make them into fun sluts, and then use these women to bribe those committee members!
Changhe Base is controlled by 23 committee members, of which only 3 are women and the rest are men. If she could capture those men, wouldn't it be equivalent to capturing the entire Changhe Base?
So she specially prepared these women, wanting to play a role at the critical moment. Maybe some people would pull up their pants and deny them recognition, but she was not afraid. Not only did she use female sex to seduce them, she would also find ways to get these women to give them the holy medicine!
If all these committee members drank the holy medicine, they would all be controlled by her! She can control the entire base!
Her idea is very bold, but with the existence of the holy medicine, it is also very feasible.
It's a pity that she met Wang Tao - no, even without Wang Tao, she might still have some trouble. It was still because of the assassination of Yao Guodong that the committee members of the Legion felt that strength was the foundation, and some even wanted to abdicate.
If it were a third-level committee member, she could still control it with the holy medicine, but if a fourth-level awakened person came to the position, she knew that she would definitely not be able to control it - they could kill her with one slap. How could she still threaten and induce him?
So Zhu Fen came here in person this time. Actually, he wanted to develop more believers and see if he could promote a few more believers to work for him. However, he met Wang Tao and was taken over by Wang Tao...
...
Wang Tao compared what he got from Zhu Fen with others. They definitely didn’t know as much as Zhu Fen, but what they said was similar to what Zhu Fen said. It showed that they were not lying, which satisfied Wang Tao and saved him from wasting his breath.
"Look, I have satisfied your curiosity, can you let me go?"
Zhu Fen immediately said cautiously.
Her mask has not been taken off, and she has not revealed her identity, so she feels that if she can leave, not only can she survive, but she can also continue to be a committee member.
As a result, the cracked mask on her face suddenly shattered, revealing her true face.
"..."
"It seems that you are out of luck."
