I believe that the mural pattern of this concept is definitely meaningful here, and that meaning must be directed to the group of people in the center of town who are singing eerie poetry.

Since these mural patterns are a lot of repetitive pictures, they look even more confusing than the previous murals, and even I feel uncomfortable, not to mention Bai Ye and Lan Xing, Lan Xing even began to hold her head to show dizziness.

I was afraid that something would happen to the two of them, so I channeled some of their psionic energy into the two of them, and soon we made our way to the top of the tower.

We thought there might be more people in the tower, but we didn't see a third person until we reached the end of the top.

But I know that the situation here will definitely not be so simple, because if there is no one, there must be something precious, otherwise why did you arrange two people at the door just now?

I asked Bai Ye and Lan Xing to look for clues on the path we had traveled before, and I myself wandered around the top of the tower to search.

At this time, I suddenly realized that the tower I was in was actually not the same as the one I saw when I went to the second bounty hunter camp with Lu Ming.

The structure here is not about the building itself, but about the interior style of the tower, because there are such murals in both towers, does that mean ...... This place also has psionic spreaders?

Thinking of this, I immediately looked up at the top, and even looked out the window to check the situation around the top of the tower, but I didn't find anything.

Also, this kind of cold place is useless even if you put a psionic energy spreader, I think too much about it.

But while there are no psionic spreaders, I think the "authors" of these two towers must be the same people, the people of Taoyuan Island.

It feels like the psionic spreader isn't the main part of the towers, but only as an accessory, and there may be some other purpose for the tower that I don't understand.

Seeing that nothing could be found in the tower, I called Bai Ye and Lan Xing to come up, and we began to focus on the situation below the tower, that is, the square in the center of the town.

This is not strictly a square, in fact, it is just a change from the original activity center in the center of the town and a little wider, but I will use the square as a first.

At this time, the square was surrounded by people from all over the town, and I also specially asked Bai Ye to confirm whether those people were local townspeople, although Bai Ye's eyes were not as good as mine, but because the whole square was now full of fire, he still quickly determined this, and told me that 80% of these onlookers were basically from the town, and a small number of people who were not from the town should be people who came to Taoyuan Island to "preach".

These people basically have a torch in their hands, and there are about twenty huge fires in the central area, which are the result of the firelight we saw before.

In addition, the people we saw on the periphery tied to the wooden shelves have now been brought to the square, but instead of staying with the crowd, they are concentrated in a corner of the square, which happens to be at the bottom of the tower where we are.

The people in the square were still singing hymns, and now I could hear their words clearly, and I saw that they were indeed repeating a hymn, and that the "lead singer" was a guy I had never seen before, standing in the middle of the square, with his hands raised and wearing a robe, somewhat like a wizard.

This person's outfit is actually somewhat similar to those hooded men in voodoo, except that his head is not covered by a hood, the other parts are basically the same, it seems that these people from Taoyuan Island are really "the best of the people", and now they don't even let go of wearing them.

The rest of the chanters were now with their heads down, so I was relieved to look at the people on the wooden shelves below.

The men were still unconscious, and I counted them and found that there were nineteen in all.

If you look closely at the fire in the center, there are twenty.

And Lan Xing was rescued by us before, doesn't this mean that the number of people on these wooden shelves should have been twenty, and they correspond to those fires?

This is......

Is this to burn them alive?

In addition, if there is really an accurate number here, then we can save Lan Xing...... Will they find out?

It seems that there is not much movement in the surrounding area now, and those people should not have noticed it yet, but I know that this is just because the ceremony has not officially begun, and if they "take their seats", they will definitely find fewer people.

I don't know what to do now, because I'm here just to find out what they're up to, but it's a big risk if I stay any longer.

Just as I was hesitating, the chanting of those people suddenly stopped, and the whole square became silent from the original noise, as if time had suddenly stood still.

Bai Ye and Lan Xing and I didn't dare to make a sound, and I felt that my heartbeat was extremely abrupt now.

After a minute or two, the man in the middle of the robe began to speak: "The new gods will guide us forward, and there must be sacrifices on the path of light. ”

After finishing speaking, this guy actually stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, this action immediately destroyed the "sacred" aura on his body, and with his action, twenty neatly dressed men came out of the crowd behind him, these people were wearing pure black clothes and pants, and they felt like the bodyguards of the underworld.

The reason I knew it was twenty was because they were all now all walking towards the people on the wooden shelves, clearly pulling one by one.

......

Rub, is it going to be discovered so soon?

I wanted to retreat now, but my feet refused to move even a minute as if they had taken root.

That's right, my curiosity drives me not to move a single bit, and Bai Ye and Lan Xing are both in the same state now.

The three of us continued to watch the situation below.

As I expected, the twenty "bodyguards" went to the wooden shelves, and then each took a small bottle from his pocket and splashed it in the faces.

It should have been cold water, because the nineteen unlucky ones woke up quickly.

At the same time, they also found that there was one person missing.

I saw a "bodyguard" quickly run up to the person leading the singer and whispered a few words, the man waved his hand, and then I saw that the bodyguard who was delivering the message retreated into the crowd, and the remaining nineteen bodyguards began to walk towards the fire in the middle with nineteen wooden shelves......

It seems that they are planning to ignore this little mistake, it is possible that these people of Taoyuan Island are afraid of causing panic among the townspeople?

I took a quick look at the rest of the square and saw no sign of anyone leaving, suggesting that they were not only trying to ignore the minor problem, but were not even trying to find out why.

Do I rub it, is my heart so big, or do I have full confidence in my own strength? They think the cold defenses are invulnerable?

Nineteen wooden shelves were soon placed in front of the fires, and I now see that they have suspended metal poles above them, which are clearly intended for hanging.

Live barbecue......

Such a ridiculous word popped into my head, because I had experienced it myself, and I felt a sincere resistance to the scene in front of me.

"Do you want to save people!" Lan Xing whispered in my ear.

I shook my head: "No, saving people now will only put us in a siege, let's see what I'm talking about first." ”

Lan Xing nodded.

Now it feels like there must be at least three or four hundred people inside and outside this square, and once we are discovered, it will be impossible to escape.

It's not that I don't want to save people, but I'm looking for opportunities, because I know that they can't just burn people to death, and they must have some deeper purpose in burning people.

I'm sure of this because the frescoes already suggest that after the "sacrifice" is placed on the central altar, there will be more strange and intricate rituals to follow.

The current altar is actually the fire in the center of the square, and the people who participate in the ceremony are the townspeople who are now onlookers, as well as a small number of Taoyuan Island personnel.

As I expected, they were not immediately roasted to death, but were only stopped in front of the fire.

At the same time, those who were tied to the wooden shelves came to their senses one after another, and one by one began to cry out in tears.

These people were all people of their right minds, and as you could tell from their wailing and cursing words, I could see that these were ordinary survivors who had been taken captive from other provinces, at least there were no ones like wanderers.

The crowd, including the onlookers around the square, were indifferent to the cries, and they continued to chant poetry and silence the cries.

After another ten minutes or so, I saw that the nineteen bodyguards had pushed something new from the back of the crowd.

I immediately became alert, because they were pushing the stone platform this time!

My gaze quickly swept towards the bottom of the stone platform, and although I couldn't see it really, I still swept some of the opening and closing baffles at the bottom, which must have "corpses" in it.

I suddenly felt a little excited, because I might be witnessing something I'd been desperate to know this time.

Lan Xing's body was starting to tremble slightly, and I grabbed her hand and continued to look down as I slowly channeled the spiritual energy to her.

The stone platforms were also placed beside the fire, and when they were finished, firewood was added to the fire, as if to further fan the flames.

There seemed to be some kind of catalyst in the newly added firewood that fueled the flames, as the flames in the center of the plaza quickly increased in intensity, so much so that even the top of the tower where I was was feeling a wave of heat hit.

And that was not the end of the day, and then the people in the center of the square began to gather in the middle, and they began to form a nineteen ranks of their own accords, each with torches in their hands, circling around the fires.

The temperature rose even further, and the center of the square was filled with a strange nocturnal picture of the fire and the crowd, giving me goosebumps when viewed from my current vantage point.

Then I heard Bai Ye say in a suppressed voice: "Xiao Chen...... Could it be because we attacked the town...... This makes these townspeople feel insecure, so they ...... So they decided to throw themselves into the arms of Taoyuan Island?"

I frowned, "What do you mean? Didn't they believe in these people before?"

"Nope. Bai Ye shook his head: "The previous level was definitely not so thorough, I feel that the attitude of these people is too abnormal, maybe they are really insecure, and they do this for self-preservation." ”

"Could they be brainwashed?" Lan Xing also asked on the side.

I took a deep breath and began to look closely at the facial expressions of the people below.

Whether a person is really brainwashed or not, in fact, it can be seen from the expression, people who are brainwashed by a certain idea, the eyes are usually either dull or crazy, especially the eyes basically do not move, and the facial expression is even stiffer.

But as soon as I glanced over, I saw that most of the people at the bottom of the town had rich facial expressions, and some of them were even quietly looking left and right.

The theory of being brainwashed can be overturned, and I have a new conjecture in my mind, maybe the people of Taoyuan Island promised to give these people some conditions, it may be supplies, or it may be an absolutely safe shelter, in short, if this condition is met, these townspeople will agree to do these things.

......

Now the temperature in the square is at least about 10 degrees higher than before, and I feel like my face is starting to sweat.

As the temperature rose, the nineteen bodyguards stepped forward to open the base of the stone platform......

As I guessed, nineteen horrible "corpses" crawled out of these stone platforms, scaring the townsfolk in the vicinity.

However, the "corpses" did not attack anyone, and when they came out, they just went straight to the fire and stood by it.

Nineteen bodyguards put the base of the stone platform back on, and then began to hang the people on the wooden shelves towards the top of the fire......

The man in the robe who led the singing raised his hands again, and this time he had an extra bell in his hand, and as the rattle rang, the surrounding townsfolk began to continue chanting the poems, and then the speed of the circle also increased, and I saw that the fire at the bottom began to spin rapidly like a wheel, giving a very unreal feeling.

Well......

The reason why it's not real is because the overall picture is now infinitely closer to the mural patterns I just saw.
