Chapter 180 Red Maple Leaf Boarding School (Twenty-five) "They still haven't found the medicine they want"
Two hundred years ago, two races separated by oceans completed their marriage on the boundless black land. Once they looked at each other, they could only communicate with the most primitive gestures and gestures when language and words were not connected.
The unfamiliar environment and hot climate made outsiders not adaptable here at first. They hurriedly drove away poisonous insects and beasts, set up flimsy tents on the wet soil, and prayed for food help from the indigenous people who were still engaged in primitive production.
Under the reception of the indigenous people, the outsiders quickly saw the magic of this land. Gold and precious gems were piled everywhere. They only needed to throw the seeds into the soil to get a good harvest.
Greed stimulated them to take this land as their own, and what drove them to do so was more of a kind of arrogance. In their view, it was natural for advanced civilization to transform backward civilization.
Occupation and colonization are proceeding very smoothly. More and more outsiders are taking root in unfamiliar lands, and the germs they bring are spreading among the people. A large number of indigenous people have died from the sudden outbreak of plague, leaving more space for people to be colonized. occupied land.
Human beings have endless desires. What is even more absurd is that they often do not understand the difference between possessiveness, killing desire, appetite and sexual desire, and are accustomed to confuse all practices that can demonstrate their status.
After completely dominating the newly discovered continent, they hunted the indigenous people as animals no different from deer, cattle and sheep, while at the same time they couldn't wait to vent their various desires that were not allowed by public order and good customs.
Some diseases may not spread through ordinary routes, but after more explicit contact and indulgence that goes against the laws of nature, new germs breed in damp and smelly places, just like the punishment and punishment sent by the gods to sinners. curse.
Wrinkled mushrooms grow in the moist areas of the patient's body, which are kept secret by the patients as a shame; the pain forces them to secretly seek medical advice and try all kinds of unimaginable treatments.
They used aboriginal brains to smear the affected areas, used scalps to cover herpes, and even ate human blood and flesh. After exhausting all methods, some people heard about the existence of witchcraft and regarded it as a life-saving straw with almost fanaticism.
They set their sights on the Aboriginal Love Foundation and the Red Maple Leaf Boarding School, eroding and controlling part of the right to speak, and using this to conduct experiments and killings in secret.
Little corpses are piled up in the cemetery in the maple forest. Trees can no longer grow on the land dyed red with blood. Only dots of yellow flowers can bloom and blue-white mushrooms can grow.
The secret is gradually discovered by more people. Public opinion and the plague add resistance to the actions of outsiders. They can only burn all the evidence of crime and look for a land where sin can be tolerated.
The tragedy of death kept repeating itself, and the sinful feast came over and over again, but until the end, they still did not find the medicine they wanted...
...
In the ghostly cemetery, Zhang Yiyu cautiously pointed the way, and Chen Lidong followed her to clear the way, driving away the ghosts that tried to get close. His leather boots cleared the uneven ground and crushed the mushrooms on the ground. into mud.
In the silence, Chen Lidong asked coldly: "The 'Si Qi' you are talking about is the one who was uploaded on the forum before and broke away after being controlled by the puppet master?"
Zhang Yiyu naturally Know what he is referring to.
At the end of the copy of "Hopeless Sea", Qisi forced Chang Xu to shut down the live broadcast, and under the control of the puppet master, threatened Chang Xu to take the Poseidon Scepter. Finally, he stabbed Chang Xu several times and almost killed him. Kill him.
The puppet master showed great interest in the Poseidon Scepter, and even did not hesitate to destroy three puppets, which was enough to attract the attention of all parties. Later, Liu Yuhan posted a post claiming that Qisi finally got rid of the control of the puppet master, which cast a mysterious and treacherous veil over the whole matter.
Afterwards, the Jiangcheng Branch of the Weird Investigation Bureau deliberately retrieved the images left at that time and studied them many times. Investigators disagreed on the details and truth, and still have not been able to draw a clear conclusion. .
Some people say that Ziss has special skills and is one of the rare players in the game who can escape the influence of the puppet master. He must be roped in. In the future, he may become a key piece in the game between the Investigation Bureau and the Silas Guild.
Some people say that Qisi is not a good person, and is the same as the Xila Guild. The act of killing Chang Xu in the end was not necessarily forced. It was most likely that he and the puppet master performed a double act, so the suspicion was laid. .
Of course, the Information Investigation Bureau would not tell Zhang Yiyu, but Zhang Yiyu was quite talented at gossiping, and she had inquired about recent events before entering the dungeon.
"It's him." Zhang Yiyu knew everything, "But I don't know if he has escaped the control of the puppet master. I always feel that his soul contract is very similar to the puppet master's skills..."
Chen Lidong interrupted impatiently: "As long as they are alike, we can overcome each other only if we look alike."
As a reserve member of the Silas Guild, of course he knew that Qiss had escaped the control of the puppet master, otherwise This guy had lied to him for so long, didn't he become like "a flood washed away the Dragon King Temple"?
He just realized that the name "Si Qi" has such a connection with the puppet master. After all, in his subconscious mind, the existence that can make the puppet master embarrassed must be somewhere beyond his reach. It was impossible to appear in the same instance as him at the level of contact.
But now it seems that fate is really wonderful. That guy actually happened to be here today. Not only did he fall in front of him, but he was also in a state of being unable to move and taking whatever he wanted. He could miss a last-ditch shot at any time.
He could almost imagine that "Siqi", as a being who could break free from the puppet thread, would definitely be remembered by that adult; and as long as he could help that adult solve a serious problem, would he be worried about not being reused in the Silas Guild?
People are in high spirits during happy events. Chen Lidong sneered and urged: "Go faster, don't you also hate him for forcing you to sign a contract? I will kill him right away."
Zhang Yiyu didn't do anything at all Thinking that things would develop like this, she originally just thought that Qisi could not save himself and wanted to give up rescuing him; but she did not expect that so quickly, she would not only refuse to save him, but would also go up to make a stab at him.
This kind of behavior of repeatedly jumping sideways and stabbing in the back is really not very aboveboard, but she looked at the cold dagger in Chen Lidong's hand and felt that her own life was more important, so she could only respond in a low voice: "Well, I... let's kill him together."
Chen Lidong was even more proud: "Little girl, next time you encounter this kind of thing, come to me, there is no need to be afraid of such pretense!"
"...Oh, thank you, boss!" The moist air condensed water droplets on the surface of the soil, stickyly clinging to the butterfly's thin wings. The corpses of flowers and butterflies accumulated on the grave soil and were spread into a finger-thick carpet, which made a "rustling" sound when stepped on.
Zhang Yiyu looked forward, forcing herself not to pay attention to the ghosts around her. As if she was sleepwalking, she came to the place where Qisi once directed through the soul blade.
A white stone tombstone with frayed edges was stuck alone in the soil, with "47" scratched lightly on it. Behind the tombstone is a deep pit, in which lies a black wooden coffin with the lid tightly closed.
Chen Lidong stood next to the pit, pointed at the coffin and asked, "Is Siqi lying in it?"
"It should be... it should be." Zhang Yiyu lowered her head, looking at the simple coffin without patterns, her voice was as light as a gnat.
In the final analysis, she was still too weak. She could only be led by others from beginning to end and had no other choice.
If she were stronger, strong enough to tie with any player, how could she be in a weak position and be coerced?
"Tell me, is it possible that you and him deliberately staged such a show to trick me into coming and killing me?" Chen Lidong stepped on the coffin lid and was not in a hurry to open the coffin.
He turned his face and squinted his eyes to examine Zhang Yiyu's expression: "He is not a fool. He asked you to come here in public. Didn't he just want to be discovered? I will open the coffin later. It won't happen suddenly. Did you shoot a hidden weapon at me?”
Zhang Yiyu was horrified and shook her head quickly: "No... it's impossible! No way!"
Chen Lidong looked at Zhang Yiyu's shrunken look, and the more he looked at it, the more suspicious he became.
As a being who can challenge the Puppet Master, "Si Qi" could easily fall into this small dungeon?
If Soul Contract is really a skill similar to Puppet Silk, how could Zhang Yiyu get rid of it so easily?
Chen Lidong looked down at the Ring of Truth, which was still scarlet on the surface, and knew that Zhang Yiyu was not lying. But not lying does not mean telling the truth. Incomplete facts are sometimes more deadly than lies.
"Si Qi" is so cunning and insidious, who knows if he will also deceive the tool man?
"Haha, if I don't open the coffin, I'll kill him through the coffin." Chen Lidong made a decision and raised his white blade to stab the coffin lid.
His arms were numb from the impact. He took a few steps back and looked at the coffin in front of him. There was not even a single scratch on it.
This coffin is stronger than he thought. It may even be a key prop of the dungeon and cannot be destroyed by players with external force.
Chen Lidong understood instantly why "Siqi" dared to lie down. This means that if he wants to kill someone, he must open the coffin.
The more he thought about it, the less Chen Lidong dared to open the coffin, but he was extremely unwilling to just go home like this.
He looked around, and his eyes fell on a hill-high mound next to the pit. He sneered: "Si Qi, Si Qi, you can't think of it, right? I don't need to open the coffin, I can bury it directly. I can't get out even if I kill you."
Zhang Yiyu shuddered and felt miserable. Each of these old players was more inhumane than the other, but she, the ghost, looked more normal in comparison...
Chen Lidong didn't give her time to react, and kicked the dirt piled beside the pit with his feet. When he entered the pit, he took out a shovel from somewhere and motioned for her to help.
Zhang Yiyu gritted her teeth and finally took the shovel and shoveled soil into the pit.
In just ten minutes, the two of them filled up the pit behind tombstone No. 47. Finally, Chen Lidong stepped on the short dirt bag and stepped hard several times to make sure that the soil was solid.
He looked at Zhang Yiyu, put away his scary expression, and showed a kind smile: "Little girl, let's discuss what we will say when we get back."
Zhang Yiyu's eyes widened. Eyes: "...Huh?"
"You should already know that I am a 'philanthropist'. You exposed my identity before and lied to them that killing people is a must-do task. I still I haven’t settled a score with you.”
Chen Lidong threatened the girl lightly, and then continued: “Of course, I have no interest in killing you, and I don’t intend to expose you. On the contrary, I need you to continue to lie to them, and it is best to let them die on the road... Anyway, you have already lied to them once, who is not cooperation with you?"
The development of the matter was completely beyond Zhang Yiyu's expectation. She didn't understand and asked: "But why? Isn't it possible to clear the level just by configuring the potion to treat 'insomnia'?" It's not like killing Ms. Medina. Why should we consider the guaranteed death toll mechanism when it is possible to complete the mission?
"Are you stupid?" Chen Lidong looked at the words on the system interface [contains enough potion to cure everyone's "insomnia"], with a scary smile like an evil ghost, "The fewer people are left, , the smaller the dose of medicine required, the easier it will be for us to complete the main task..."
