Chapter 315 85: Seed
In the early stage of transcendence, most people only know that there is a transcendent being born, but they are not clear about the specific concept of transcendence, nor do they know how this transcendence appears.
Is it the so-called revival of spiritual energy and the gradual emergence of ancient legends, or is it that there is another dark world hidden under the peaceful world, but it has only recently begun to reveal itself.
There are various theories, but no one can be sure of them.
As a result, many strange sects took advantage of the situation and emerged, holding various banners. Some used the name of reviving ancient religions, some created new gods, and some directly regarded the extraordinary beings who had appeared as angels of their own sect. In the final analysis , and their purpose is only one: to promote their respective theories and attract people to join the religion.
It can also be seen as grabbing traffic and then monetizing it.
All of a sudden, there was a smoky atmosphere, and the rats rose up, harvesting money and fame everywhere, making a lot of money, and finally found the right outlet.
But the good times didn't last long. With the spread of extraordinary things, everyone had a basic understanding of extraordinary abilities. Only then did those counterfeiters realize that they were actually playing for real!
Flying, controlling objects, burning, exploding... all kinds of unscientific methods can be used casually, but they are still the old school who use scientific methods to create psychological hints, conduct some rigorous chemical reactions, and arrange a group of people to cheer them up.
In comparison, they look like devout scientists, with mysterious attributes.
As a result, most of the sects that grew wildly were thoroughly tested by the officials and after confirming that no extraordinary people had emerged, they were completely eliminated. However, some of them had the foresight to form a community of interests with many officials in advance. The world where truly extraordinary and even angels and demons descend can still stay in one place and develop steadily.
Voodoo is one of the largest organizations.
But their original base is not in Rio. Coming here is to explore new markets and is considered an outpost.
Relying on a few new moves that he learned from his colleagues, the messenger of Voodoo gained Aito's trust and promised that as long as he cured his terminal illness, he would make the entire Rocinha believe in Voodoo and become their leader in the world. A basic plate of about.
In fact, this is just a trap set up in advance. He bribes the other party's confidants and women in advance, continues to poison, and then spends money to get the hospital to cooperate. If you have money, anything can be done.
The Voodoo Cult only took a fancy to him because it was the most cost-effective.
After all, it is useless if your status is low, and Voodoo does not lack one or two low-level believers. If you are high, it is difficult to bluff, and it is difficult to bribe those around you.
For gangsters like this in the slums who are greedy for profit, it is most suitable to have all the five poisons. The so-called confidants only need more money. Under the gold and dollar offensive of voodoo, those guys who are bribed have already claimed to be the most pious. A believer in voodoo, he cooperated extremely well with the movements of the voodoo messenger and set up the situation for Aito to take the initiative to get in.
First, I put some poison in, and then I went for a check-up when I felt unwell, and it turned out to be a terminal illness! My head was buzzing, and before I could think of going to another hospital for a follow-up check-up, I heard that there was a very effective voodoo cult recently.
Also because the poisoning stopped before the ceremony was held, it was true that Aito's discomfort was relieved, which made him believe in voodoo even more, as if he was grasping at the last straw.
"Sir." The assistant carefully closed the door of the room where the envoy was. After checking the room, he asked, "Do we really want to make a big news? If exposed, wouldn't the whole Rio despise us? ? Will this hinder the leader’s plan?”
You know, the reputation of their teaching has never been very good. Wouldn't making any big news be like throwing a fire into a family that is not already wealthy? How must it be hacked?
"So, we can't be exposed, and we won't admit it no matter what, unless the black-robed Chaofan comes to find us." The messenger slowly took off the decorations on his body, and then washed the color off his face, revealing his fanaticism.
Since the other party chose to save people in today's fire scene, will he appear next time? Then will he be able to find a channel to communicate with the other party?
Although this approach is very risky, he himself is a crazier gambler than Aito.
His purpose is actually to attract Chaofan to come to him, and then he persuades Chaofan to join the Voodoo Sect. Once he succeeds, his status in the church will rise, and the Voodoo Sect will become a veritable supernatural power.
Such achievements are something that a leader would not dare to think about, but as long as he can firmly stand on the side of Chaorhan, can he be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people? !
Of course, in the eyes of the assistant, the envoy's idea was too taken for granted. Since Chaofan chose to save people, it means that it is impossible to like their behavior of murder and arson. If they are found to be the masterminds behind the scenes, they are more likely to be killed directly. , they couldn't even say a few words by then.
He had already planned to secretly report what happened here to the leader, then pack his things and prepare to run away at any time.
The messenger seemed to see through his thoughts and said calmly.
"The leader has agreed to my approach. You only need to carry out my orders. If you think too much, you will die."
The assistant opened his mouth and his scalp was numb, so he had no choice but to respond.
Good guys, each one is more crazy than the last. These pioneers are obviously regarded as abandoned sons, and are used by the leader to bet on whether they can communicate with Chaofan.
Failure will only result in the loss of an already stinky reputation, some people and money, but once successful, no one will have any money.
The assistant's heart dropped, and he touched his head subconsciously. He didn't know how many days this big head could be placed on his neck.
"This damn black boat is full of gamblers."
noon.
Kyoko Shirai came to an address given by Maria.
This is a hospital located near Rocinha, and naturally it is not a high-end private hospital, but an ordinary public hospital.
Perhaps due to insufficient funds, the hospital looks rather old everywhere, with gray walls, chipped bricks, and floors that cannot be wiped clean.
This country implements a universal medical policy, which is free medical care.
But as we all know, free of charge, no queues, and good results are called the impossible medical triangle. Although Maria’s parents were hospitalized due to an emergency and are currently in the intensive care unit, the hospital’s facilities are old and the level is average. A large number of people rushed in all at once. The patients made the hospital overloaded for a while.
"Give it! Give it! The patient is unconscious!"
"It hurts! What the hell is the doctor! Where is the doctor!"
"He's not dead. He was clearly still breathing when he came in. Did you kill him?!"
The air was turbid and noisy.
Most of the patients injured in last night's fire were sent to this hospital, leaving people already queuing up even further. Although the director had sent some people to other hospitals, they were closest to the fire. , no matter how few people take over, there will be no shortage of people.
Shirai habitually scanned the crowd of people who came to see the doctor to see if there were any suitable seeds.
"Shirai, Shirai!"
Maria, who was lingering anxiously, saw Shirai entering the hospital in the crowd and waved hurriedly.
Shirai put away his glance and walked towards Maria.
"How are uncle and aunt doing now?" Shirai walked up to Maria, his eyes flickering.
However, after not seeing each other for one night, Maria began to vaguely meet Shirai's experimental subject requirements. Unexpectedly, the suitable Miaozi turned out to be beside her all along.
But it’s not enough, if.
"Them." Maria's eyes were red and her face was haggard. She must have been awake all night. Her eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes. Her hands tightened on her clothes and her words became hesitant. Shirai looked around and saw that there were a lot of people, so he pulled her and walked outside the hospital.
"You said they are in the intensive care unit, so you can't go in now. I think you haven't eaten all this time. How about we eat something first?" Shirai's words were full of discussion, but he already held Maria's hand and left. On the road.
Maria pursed her lips, looked back for a few times, nodded weakly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Really, thank you very much. I'm glad you can come."
"You're welcome, we are." Shirai paused for a moment, and the face of Maria in front of him seemed to be distorted, turning into the weak look he once had. "Friends, aren't we?"
After saying that, Shirai turned around and clenched her fist with her other hand. The confusing fragments in her mind made her confused.
That is the sequelae of the [False Heaven] ability. Although this ability has been replaced by [Black Light Angel], the sinful souls she once absorbed with the False Heaven have remained.
Although it can no longer torture her, once some inner demon is triggered, it will still cause trouble in her spirit.
When she chose Maria as her home language teacher, it may be that this name triggered some kind of subconscious.
"Hirosue. Are we friends?"
"You can think that I killed your father. Everything was just for experiment."
Time and scene seemed to have returned to that morgue.
Hirosue's cold eyes were condescending, and his heart seemed as cold as his father's corpse beside him.
The scene suddenly changed. A blue iris wrapped around her ankle and thigh. The huge petals bloomed in front of her. Among the stamens, a beautiful head grew out. Her eyes were pitiful. The branches and leaves gently held Shirai's face. .
"At your age, it's not surprising that you have expectations for society. But in the end, this society will disappoint everyone, including you."
She is Maria, Imaya Maria. Shirai seems to have heard these words before. They were the last words she left in her ears after she took in those dirty souls.
Ha, Maria.
The fog in her heart still refused to let go of her, and continued to pull at her, with a deafening roar.
"Shirai Kyoko!! You deserve to die!!"
Shirai was familiar with this voice. It was Takashima Yumi's scream.
He was also the one she had been avoiding.
"Shirai? Shirai?"
The two of them had already arrived at the restaurant. Maria shook Shirai Kyoko's arm with some worry. Shirai had lowered his head since he sat down, as if he had stopped breathing, like a living corpse, saying nothing. hair.
Shirai slowly dispelled the mental fog, raised his head, and his eyes were clear.
"I'm fine, let's order first."
Neither of them had much appetite, so they randomly ordered two steaks and had a tasteless lunch. During this time, Maria kept looking at Shirai secretly, taking deep breaths many times, trying to say something, but then she got discouraged.
"Do you want to transfer your parents to a private hospital?" Shirai clearly knew Maria's purpose for finding him, and he knew it from the moment the other party contacted her.
Maria didn't know much about her, but being rich was one of the things. It was unlikely that she was asking her to find a better doctor through connections. Maria knew that she was a foreigner with no local connections.
So I can only borrow money from her.
However, it is not in line with social etiquette for both parties to say it directly when they meet, so this meal was used as a foreshadowing.
Kyoko Shirai's attitude towards Maria has nothing to do with friends, or she won't have any friends. She needs to cut off the relationship with her former friends. This is the best outcome for both parties.
Besides, what she will do in the future will only offend countless people.
Of course, she could ruthlessly use Maria as an experimental tool like Hirosue did, let her parents die naturally, and stimulate her emotions, so that she might be able to meet Hirosue's requirements for planting the seeds.
But she didn't want to do this. This kind of behavior like Hirosue would make her feel uncomfortable psychologically and physically.
"Well, the doctor said that there are better medical equipment and conditions there. If they can go to those places for treatment, the probability of waking up will be greater. Otherwise, they may not wake up."
< br>
Maria choked up her words and wiped the tears from her eyes.
Her parents' condition is very serious and they can barely survive now. If they delay for a long time, the probability of survival will be even lower.
"This card has one million reais, and the password is six sixes. If it's not enough, tell me." Shirai took out a bank card, pressed it on the table, and moved it in front of Maria.
"!" Maria's eyes widened as she began to speak.
"No need to say thank you. I hope your parents can recover soon. I'm still waiting for you to teach me Portuguese."
Shirai interrupted Maria's words of gratitude and thrust the card into the other person's hand.
The money had been delivered, Shirai comforted Maria and left.
This is just a small thing to her, and the reason for doing this may just be the other person's optimistic personality and the bad name Maria.
Maria's words were stuck in her throat, and she couldn't speak for a long time. She could only watch Shirai leave and walk out of the door.
She clutched the life-saving bank card.
Before this, she had asked her only friends and relatives, but they could not borrow money. She also knew that their lives were also very difficult. The fire was more or less affected, so naturally they could not borrow any money. .
When she found Shirai, she just gave it a try out of desperation. She had thought about many things and was prepared to spend the rest of her life selling it to him, but she never expected that the other person would give it to her directly without any proof.
Before this, she never imagined that there would be someone as good as Shirai in the world.
"Thank you. Thank you"
