Again, as I did with my previous understanding of Qianqian's form of existence, I think what she is saying now does not come from her ontology, but only a new kind of thinking that extends with the help of her ideology.

In short, I must not be foolish enough to take this voice as the original Qianqian, but as a person with the illusory appearance and voice of Qianqian, but at the same time with the ability to learn as a complete human being.

In the same way, this voice is not the same person I heard when I was locked up in the castle by the whip man, at least not the voice of the same mind.

Bai Ye and Lan Xing also heard this sound, and again, it also proved that this cold air did not seem to be driven by spiritual energy. Because if it was psionic energy, people like Bai Ye and Lan Xing, who were basically not infected by the Gu worm virus, would not be able to hear it.

Although the sound did not cause me any actual trauma, it was still extremely uncomfortable to hear, as if there were countless flies and mosquitoes flying around my ears.

I could only try to focus my attention on other places, such as whether there was any enemy activity around or something, but now the surrounding area was still quiet except for the cold air and the strange murmur of Qianqian, and it was no different from just now.

At that moment, I told Bai Ye and Lan Xing that if they found that this sound or cold had any effect on them, they should tell me as soon as possible, after all, my spiritual energy could not last forever.

At the same time, Bai Ye also began to ask me if I should withdraw for the time being, because if the power of this cold qi is really as exaggerated as I said before, then it may not be a wise decision for us to stay here, not to mention that since there is no one else guarding the town, then maybe this cold qi is a big killer.

I shook my head and said, "If this cold is a barrier to their self-confidence, then we have now broken this protective film so that they can approach without any defense! I would love to see what they are doing! Is it a ritual to sing those hymns?"

Bai Ye frowned and said, "Even if the cold can't help it, but don't forget, Lan Xing was tied up by them just now and sent to a certain place! After a long time, they will definitely find that Lan Xing didn't arrive on time, so won't it be exposed?"

"That's why we have to hurry. After saying that, I glanced at Lan Xing again.

Lan Xing also nodded and said, "I listen to you!" and if we leave now, we won't be able to figure out the situation here." ”

Bai Ye still tried his best to prevent us from approaching, and he continued: "This is actually not the first time that this situation has happened, in the past, when those people from Taoyuan Island came to convey their thoughts, they would occasionally program their meaning into poems and even songs to sing, but this time the scale was relatively large. ”

"But that's just their own singing, right?" I asked.

I have also seen this kind of situation, and there used to be some Western churches downstairs in my house to preach, and generally those missionaries would sing some blessing songs, but they were all preachers singing.

But now it has developed to the stage of national singing, which means that those people of Taoyuan Island have made the whole town all believe in their faith in just over a day.

At this time, the singing voice was much louder, and it sounded like a little crazy, and Bai Ye could also hear that something was wrong, he frowned and nodded, "This time seems to be really different from the previous times...... It stands to reason...... Although the survivors here are all confused by the statements of these Taoyuan Island people, thinking that the Gu worm virus will really dissipate on its own, they will not be directly brainwashed, right? Now these people's voices are really like being brainwashed!"

"Then you must go and see!, then, if you feel that it is dangerous, you can go outside and wait for us by yourself!" I said.

I'm not sarcastic about him, but I really think so, because if the cold really affects us, if Lan Xing is the only one I might be able to take her and force it out, if there is one more, I'm afraid it will be much more difficult.

However, Bai Ye was quickly persuaded by me, and he agreed to find out with me.

I first dragged the three people who had been knocked unconscious by me and one who had been hacked to death into the arsenal, during which I took a closer look at their bodies, and found that these four people looked no different from ordinary people in appearance, but the facial expressions of the four of them had a very strange feeling when they looked closely, as if they were looking at sculptures one by one, as if they had not appeared in a long, long time.

The expressions of these people were much stiffer than those controlled by the wanderers who did not have full thinking.

After the incident, I was afraid that the three people who were not dead would wake up, so I tied them all with ropes, and then began to approach the center of the town with Bai Ye and Lan Xing.

I was afraid that the cold would get worse, but as we got deeper into the center of town, I noticed that the cold around me was getting lower and lower, and it was completely gone.

In this way, the distribution of these cold air only exists around the town, and not the entire town is covered, it seems that this town does use these cold air as a protective system, and it is no wonder that there are no sentry posts on the periphery.

And if I hadn't used my psionic energy to expel the cold, we would have been stunned, which means that the people in the town would not have expected us to come in.

In addition, if this cold air can really defend the perimeter of the town, then doesn't it mean that these cold air is manipulated by these people? Could it be that the cold air was brought by the people of Taoyuan Island?

After all, I personally felt the existence of Qianqian's spiritual energy in the ancient castle where the whip man was, and Qianqian herself told me that she was also used by those people, which means that these people are also studying the energy on Qianqian's body.

And maybe this cold air is one of their achievements?

But in this way, it conflicts with the impression that these people have always had on me, and they have always been against anything that has anything to do with psionic energy.

By this time we had reached a distance of less than 100 meters from the center of the town, and from here we could clearly see the light of the center of the town, not the light of electricity, but the light of a raging fire.

......

Maybe it's because I was almost burned to death on a fire, and I'm still a little scared when I see these vast fires.

I quickly steadied myself and began to focus on my surroundings, because as we got closer to the crowd in the center of town, I had a feeling that there might be people moving nearby.

Well......

I soon heard scattered footsteps, and when I followed them to find their owners, I found that they were not normal people, but the same four fellows I had just subdued, poor creatures who did not have a complete and sound mind.

What's more, they also traveled in groups of four, and each group also carried a wooden shelf, on which the wooden shelf was ...... Let the people go!

I didn't dare to act rashly this time, because at this time they were already several times more numerous than in the outer area, and there were no less than five or six groups of them that I saw now, and they were not far from each other, and if I did anything rashly, they would definitely be alarmed.

I know these guys don't have a complete mind, but they don't have the slightest ambiguity when it comes to spotting enemies, and in that respect, they're even more difficult to deal with than normal people.

There were men and women tied to these wooden shelves, and I even saw a big boy who might not be a teenager, they were much worse than the previous Lan Xing, at least Lan Xing's family was still awake, but they all tilted their heads and fainted now.

The people carrying the wooden shelves were slowly moving towards the center of the town like robots, and I realized that the place where Lan Xing was going to be sent before was in the center of the town.

Strange, what is the purpose of bringing these people there?

By any measure, these people tied to wooden shelves are a kind of victim sign, and the strange ritual poetry chanting tonight makes me think in some weird and weird directions......

Don't......

Is it really some kind of ritual that requires the use of living people?

And the number of living people is not one or two?

Bai Ye also felt that the situation was not quite right, he asked me if I should risk saving these people now, I immediately raised my hand to stop him, I have experienced a lot, I understand that everything can not be done rashly, now these people on the wooden shelves do not have our people, so I do not plan to risk for them. Second, because of the reason I just thought, if we do it rashly here, there will be a great possibility of exposure.

And now I already know that there are a lot of people who are placed on the wooden shelves, and maybe they won't notice it if there is one less Lan Xing.

I immediately raised my hand and motioned for Bai Ye and Lan Xing to continue following me, and I myself quickly found a path that was absolutely safe and no one could find with my extraordinary vision and hearing, and then we continued on our way.

As I got closer, I heard more details, and I heard in the chorus of the crowd a man who was clearly leading the chorus, a bit like the choir leader, who would not only start before the chorus was singing, but would also give a summary little speech after a short chorus, and the general meaning was what made the crowd pious and firm in their faith and all sorts of bullshit.

I've always scoffed at this approach, not to mention the fact that it's a chaotic post-cataclysmic society, and these people have built this kind of thinking for the survivors with only one purpose, which is to rule them in disguise, and there is certainly no clean and pure purpose behind this usually does.

The cold still didn't show any momentum, and from now on, I had completely given up on preparing to mobilize psionic energy at any time, and instead focused all my attention on myself.

We didn't expect to get so close to the center of town that we still didn't see any patrols, at most the strange people carrying wooden shelves walking mechanically.

Bai Ye was familiar with the nearby buildings, and he told me that if we continued along, we would arrive at the square in the center of the town, which was small but had a wide view, and if we walked directly from the ground, we would definitely be found.

So Bai Ye finally suggested that I go to the bell tower on the south side of the square, which is not only the vantage point of the town, but also the entire square area.

I immediately agreed to Bai Ye's suggestion and began to quickly transfer under Bai Ye's leadership.

Soon they reached the gate of the tower, and there was finally a garrison, but the two men were not the townspeople here, for Hakuya said that he had never seen these two men himself.

I took a closer look at the two men's outfits through the night, and found that they were dressed as if they had just attended the dinner party, so I don't have to guess that they were from Taoyuan Island, and they liked to dress themselves up politely.

The two men were whispering something to each other, and they seemed to be the kind of people in their right minds.

I didn't go up in the first place, because I could hear what they were talking about, and I also took the opportunity to see if there were any other accomplices nearby.

The two men seemed to be complaining about something, one man muttering to the other that the course of action above was too inkblotting and that there was no need for such trouble.

The other advised the man not to think wildly and to just obey orders.

I originally wanted to hear more to see if there was any useful information, but then the two of them actually began to discuss the topic of women, and the foul language soared, and Lan Xing's face changed instantly.

Before I could speak, Lan Xing's flying knife had already come out.

However, Lan Xing was still soft-hearted, he did not directly stab the two of them, but pierced their calves with a flying knife, and without waiting for the two of them to make any shouts, he stepped forward and slashed the two of them to death with a mountain opening knife, and dragged them into the tower with his backhand at a very fast speed.

Lan Xing seemed a little surprised to see my actions, and I shook my head and told her that she couldn't leave anything alive at this time, because once it was exposed, it would be a big deal.

Lan Xing nodded silently.

It seems that my recent changes are really a bit big, and Lan Xing may not have adapted yet.

As soon as I entered the tower, I saw the dense mural patterns on the walls, and they all looked like they had only been pasted up recently.

Sure enough, Bai Ye also said that there were no murals here.

I reached out and touched the inside of the mural and saw that some of the areas had not been completely dried up, so it seemed that I guessed correctly.

Compared with the content of the previous murals, this time it is much simpler, and almost all of them are scenes of the same sacrificial ceremony.

In the center is a stone platform...... It is surrounded by a group of stone piers that form a circle or a semicircle.
