Chapter 289: Branching
Listening to Jiu's understatement of judgment, Yu Mo was stunned for a moment, and then sat on her knees as if her body had been hollowed out, although in the past month or so, she had a vague premonition in her heart, but when the truth came, she still couldn't suppress her emotions.
Jiu re-examined the memories in the ghoul's mind, and even as a Protoss, she felt very embarrassed after seeing the specific "predation" scene.
It's no wonder that both clansmen and believers define ghouls as one of the most depraved and evil races.
"Your friend was killed when he discovered their anomaly and tried to warn the others."
Jiu made a supplementary explanation.
As for the exact process of the killing, she felt that it was not necessary to inform everyone present in detail.
"Since you're a god, there must be a way to bring her back to life, right?"
Yu Mo asked unrelentingly.
"It's too late."
Jiu shook his head regretfully.
It is true that some people's souls survive after their physical demise and continue to exist for years or even decades, but this does not include humans who are preyed upon by ghouls.
When flesh is consumed by ghouls, the soul dies with it.
"Your friend died that night."
Believers have over-mythologized their images in their teachings, but in fact, even as gods, they cannot understand the mysteries of life and death, and there is no real art of resurrection, and when the soul of any living creature disappears, it is their return.
When believers' bodies die, their souls do not come to heaven as described in the doctrine.
Compared to the believers, as a Protoss, they are only equivalent to a species that has mastered more powerful powers, and since Jiu came to this world, she has become more and more aware of this.
Dogmatic beliefs may just be an extra meaning that believers have come up with for their submission.
And her people don't seem to follow the rules - Jiu not only saw the murdered humans in the ghouls' memories, but also saw many things that made her unbelievable.
This pair of ghouls is not the only evil thing that has allied with the Hidden Gods, in F City, and even everywhere, there are some accomplices who help the Hidden Gods "solve the trouble".
When it's inconvenient to do it yourself, these evil things will be happy to do it for you.
If they bring in a slayer, a Foundation, or a witcher, they'll only find out that it's just another unfortunate supernatural event.
"How many monsters like them are there?"
Yu Mo was silent for a long time, gritting her teeth and asking, she has been a staunch atheist for the past ten years, after the disappearance of her best friend, she considered kidnappers, human traffickers or pyramid schemes, but she never imagined that there was a group of monsters in this world who wore human skins but fed on humans.
If she hadn't met Gu Yun and others today, she would probably have followed in the footsteps of her best friend.
"According to the ghoul memory, there are several in F City alone."
"And so many?"
At this moment, even An Ling was taken aback, she clearly remembered that when she first arrived in F City, the person in charge of Ye said that the security here was very good, and there had been no supernatural events for several years, but these two ghouls who had just been eliminated alone were burdened with several lives.
If there are many similar supernatural creatures here, doesn't that mean that what Person in charge Ye told them in the first place was false news?
There are dozens of supernatural casualties a year, which is no less than that of X City.
And X City, but the turbulent capital in people's mouths, has encountered anything strange recently.
"These evil things have also been divided into several forces."
After carefully examining the ghoul's memories, Jiu realized that the inside story of this world was far more complicated than she had imagined.
In addition to the natural disasters that escaped into this world, there are also many indigenous weirdness, which have left quite a few bizarre legends in each different era.
However, Jiu can't tell for the time being whether these "native" weirdness existed in the first place, or was created by the disaster, but it is certain that there are also huge differences within the "natives", and a considerable number of them have joined an organization that is said to have been created by a natural disaster, and after being absorbed into the organization, the weirdos will be assigned to various levels of society to carry out hidden actions according to their status and ability.
One of the things that shocked Jiu the most was an iron law that the organization announced when it recruited members.
It is not allowed to do anything to humans without permission, and once it has a social impact, the organization will send people to get rid of the perpetrators.
These weirdness, which is assigned to all walks of life, instead uses their abilities to greatly promote the development of the industry, especially in the fields of medicine, economics, catering, and entertainment.
The couple turned down the organization's invitation because of this time limit.
"They couldn't hold back their appetite and decided to cooperate with the Hidden Gods."
As for the content of the cooperation, it is already obvious that the Hidden God will give them some protection, making it more difficult for them to be detected by the Soul Slayer or the Demon Hunter, and if necessary, will let them deal with some of the targets that cause trouble for the Hidden God Will.
Although most of the strange abilities are far beyond ordinary people, there are extremely few who can really not be afraid of soul slayers and demon hunters, and as long as they are done properly, they are all within the scope of being hunted.
Another reason why they can't compete head-on with humans is that they are extremely few in number and rarely live in groups, which leads them to travel from city to city to cover their whereabouts after "hunting".
The existence of the Hidden God Society solves the worries of the monsters.
Not only will they cover up the existence of monsters, giving them the movement of the Soul Eliminator, the Foundation, and the Demon Hunter in advance, but they will also provide financial and transportation assistance to help them quickly leave a city once they do attract the Soul Eliminator.
"The Hidden God Society...... Are you still doing this kind of thing behind your back? ”
Yu Mo and An Ling both showed expressions of disbelief, and out of professional habits, Yu Mo kept pointing the camera of his mobile phone at Jiu.
On the surface, this hidden god will unite people to fight against natural disasters, but in fact, it is providing shelter for man-eating monsters!
What made Yu Mo even more frightened was that during the time they were talking, some kind of tragedy was happening in the city.
The true face of the Hidden God Society must be revealed!
"But because of the arrival of the black box, the balance here has been completely broken."
