When the three of them arrived at the tent where Yuan Qing arrived, there was a sad atmosphere inside.
I saw Cao Tong's three fierce hunters, as well as the two emperors who should be here, standing in silence, and a thin figure on the bed in the middle was like a rotten wood that had lost its last lustre, and there was no life at all. Beside him, a kneeling woman sobbed softly, clutching the old man's hand tightly and refusing to let go.
"Toxic to the bone, it's gone." Cao Tong shook his head and sighed when he saw the three of them.
"This kind of scene can be seen almost every day, and I have long been used to it, and I am about to become numb. Almost every day, new people are coming, and many of them are terminally ill. There are very few people who can really be saved and get out of addiction. ”
Maybe it was because he noticed that Su Qian was wearing the badge of the leader of the Hunting Squadron, and an emperor ** person said.
Nodding, Su Qian sighed: "Let her be alone for a while, is there any other quiet place, let's sit down." ”
"Of course, this way, please."
Even if it is a place of hospitality, it is very simple in this camp, and a relatively spacious tent with a low table, some fruits and nuts, and a very ordinary pot of tea, and that's all.
But the intention of his visit was not to be a guest, and Ning Yue didn't care, looking down at the steaming teacup, and said in a deep voice: "It's dead, after all, it's an innocent human life." Even if it was the result of his own dying with phantom powder, the person who sold it was guilty, and the person who developed it was even more guilty. How should this debt be calculated? ”
Su Qian sighed and said, "That's right, those people are guilty." In the past two months, the hunt has arrested many lawbreakers who sell phantom powder, and also eliminated several secret dens that develop phantom powder. However, on the whole, it is only a drop in the bucket. What I'm seeing is that more and more people are getting infected with phantom powder, and the criminals are getting more and more ambitious with huge profits. ”
"Many aristocratic families saw the huge benefits of phantom fans, and they also wanted to get a piece of the pie, so they got involved in it, so it's hard for you to start, right? It's the same as the rumors in the neighborhood. It's just that they don't know that there are so many people who are actually harmed. Ning Yue shook his head again and again.
"It was said that it would be strictly investigated, but every time it was implemented, it could only catch small fish and shrimp, and it could not shake the foundation of the real owner. Moreover, those people are very intelligent and can always be one step ahead of us. I seriously suspect that there are people involved in the operation, and there are also their internal connections among the higher-ups of the hunt. It's not easy to do. Su Qian smiled helplessly, after all, her power position was too low.
"It seems that the bright ones can't do it, and they can only come to the secret crusade."
At this time, Ning Yue subconsciously thought of the red wolf. If it were them, if they wanted to swing their blades against the owner of Phantom Fan, they would definitely be able to kill a lot of criminals.
Hearing this, Su Qian was stunned for a moment and said, "Ah, what did you say?" ”
"Nothing."
Ning Yue shook her head, and happened to see Zhili, who was happily eating fruit on the side, seemed to be choked, her face was swollen and red, and she hurriedly patted her back hard.
"Don't worry, no one is robbing you."
Soon, Zhili gasped, put down half of the pear in her hand, and replied: "It's not that Zhili is in a hurry, but I heard a terrible sound just now, so I choked." ”
"Terrible sounds?"
Ning Yue was stunned for a moment, and at the same time, there was really a roar in the wind in the distance, like the roar of some kind of beast, full of madness and anger.
Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!
Suddenly, he and Su Qian exchanged a look, each other became solemn, grabbed the saber and rushed out of the camp directly.
"Hey, wait a minute!"
In the tent, Zhili hurriedly wanted to keep up, but suddenly turned around and reached out to grab it, and stuffed the remaining half of the pear in her small mouth, and then continued to take steps and rushed out of the tent.
Roar!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The roar was accompanied by a few dull crashing sounds, followed by screams and moans.
When Ning Yue and Su Qian arrived, they saw a tall figure with a height of two meters raising its head and roaring, the voice was as fierce as a beast, and the old scars on the bare chest were intertwined. All of his limbs were chained, and only the last half of his arms was less than a meter on his wrists.
The two chains on his ankles didn't seem to break, and the slender trajectory spread into a collapsed tent not far away.
Beside the frenzied man, several sergeants fell to the ground groaning, and their broken lasso rods were scattered around them. It seems that they wanted to capture the big man before, but unfortunately they were defeated.
On the periphery, there were more than ten sergeants holding nooses or blades, but they were shocked by the big man, but they just slowly turned to maintain the encirclement, and did not retreat, but they did not dare to step forward, with a little panic and anxiety in their eyes.
"What's going on?"
Su Qian pressed the shoulder of one of them, and the fluctuating aura on the big man in front of him was not low, and it was enough to have the double level of spiritual awakening. Ordinary sergeants, naturally, it is impossible to deal with it.
"He's addicted to phantom powder! Because this person is too strong and has a strong body, we usually use potions to make him fall into a semi-comatose state, and his consciousness is relatively blurred, so as to control it. But last night he found that the remaining potion was insufficient, and he forgot to pick it up this morning, so he woke up before taking the medicine again and went crazy directly! ”
The sergeant looked at the badge on Su Qian's chest, and his eyes were immediately happy, his strength was not yet able to detect the depth of the other party's cultivation. But the sign of the hunt is still recognizable, and I know that the role of the captain level will definitely not be weak.
"The powerhouse of the Spirit Awakening Realm even has someone who is addicted to phantom powder?"
Ning Yue was taken aback, he originally thought that only ordinary ordinary people would be contaminated, and martial artists who could reach the level of Spirit Awakening Realm, whether in terms of physique or will, should not be easily controlled by the drugs that could be bought on the street.
"Whatever the reason, he can't be allowed to continue to go crazy here. If you have a wound on your body, just rest on the side. It's no problem to hand over such an opponent to me. ”
When the words fell, Su Qian didn't wait for Ning Yue to respond, she jumped over, her delicate body jumped in the air, and she stepped down with one volley.
At the same time, the big man who was addicted to phantom powder still retained the instinctive consciousness of some of the Spirit Awakening Realm powerhouses after all, and with a turn of his eyes, his huge fist slammed up and attacked. As the saying goes, his arms can't twist his thighs, but his fists are bigger than Su Qian's little feet.
The two figures collided instantly, but there was no dull impact sound as imagined, Su Qian's seemingly flying kick was actually just a point on the opponent's wrist, and he took advantage of the momentum to kick and rise up again.
At this moment, due to a circle of hollowing, the big man's body leaned forward uncontrollably, and the whole person lost his balance and began to fall.
"Let's pour."
Switching to the back of the big man, Su Qian sighed coldly, and the sheathed long sword in his hand slashed fiercely from top to bottom, hitting the back of the big man's legs and knees.
Boom!
Without any suspense, the big man fell to the ground, and while his strong body slammed into the ground, the chains on his ankles trembled and lifted, and then fell to the ground again.
"Hey, what are you doing? Take. ”
Su Qian turned his head and drank, and while beckoning the surrounding sergeants, he handed out the sheathed long sword in his hand a little more, and stabbed it in the back of the neck of the big man, who was about to struggle to get up, but when he was hit like this, the whole person trembled, and collapsed to the ground again.
Ning Yue was not the slightest surprised that this incident would end so quickly, the five layers of the Spirit Awakening Realm were against the two, and the other party was still delirious, even if he was crazy, Su Qian, who had rich experience in actual combat, would not be defeated.
Win, rightfully so.
"Huh? What happened? Why is that person chained, so pitiful? ”
When Zhili arrived late, the big man who had been subdued by Su Qian had been tied up with iron chains by the sergeants who had surrounded him, and more than a dozen people dragged him back to the camp not far away. Most of the place itself has collapsed, but some people have already begun repairs and put it back up.
"Didn't you say that before? When the addiction to phantom powder occurs, people will lose their minds and go crazy. We don't want to do that, but we can't help it. ”
Su Qian shook her head and sighed, looking at the big man who was still struggling with his mouth gagged, and felt a little sad for him more or less.
"It's pathetic...... Moreover, Zhili could hear in a trance that his heart was crying. Zhili subconsciously hugged her petite body with her arms, trembling.
patting her little head, Su Qian replied: "In order to be able to restore him to his original state, he can only be treated like this first." ”
However, when the sergeant left behind on the side heard this, he sighed softly and seemed to hesitate. But soon, he still spoke: "That person, it is impossible to recover as before." ”
In an instant, Ning Yue exclaimed, "Why? ”
"He didn't get the phantom powder himself, it is said that he offended a nobleman because he helped others get ahead, and he was outnumbered and captured. But instead of killing him, they forced him to eat ten times the amount of magic powder that normal addicts take each time. Now, even if he didn't have a seizure of drug addiction, he was insane and delirious. ”
The sergeant shook his head, and then instructed again: "Don't tell anyone, I said this, and I just eat a mouthful, but I don't want to be like that." ”
"Don't worry, we won't say it."
Ning Yue stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, sighing in his heart.
On the way back to the hospitality camp, he peeked at the tents on both sides, and they were full of wailing and men, and crazy people were tied to wooden frames, like tortured prisoners. However, no one abused them at all, and the sergeant on guard couldn't bear it, but he couldn't let them go.
According to Su Qian, it is good to be tied up for half an hour like this, and the drug addiction will pass. It's cruel, but it's more effective than losing your life.
"In normal times, as long as they are obedient, they don't need to stay in the tent, even if they walk around. Those who are relatively dishonest are locked up in cages. But when the addiction hits, it must be tied up. Otherwise, these addicts are likely to hurt themselves and others while unconscious. At the beginning, because of his soft-heartedness, many sergeants were disabled and some people were killed. ”
As if sensing Ning Yue and Zhili's unbearability, Su Qian said slowly, and at the end, she lifted the teacup that had no heat rising and brought it to her mouth, but she didn't drink it for a long time.
Ning Yue slapped the table again and shouted, "I don't understand, don't these people know that this thing is harmful to themselves?" Why do people continue to get infected? There are many people who are forced, but I am afraid that there are many people who are contaminated themselves, right? ”
"It's very simple, just one word, desire."
Su Qian smiled bitterly and put down the teacup in her hand.
"It is always impossible for people to cut off their own **, with a good one, they will fantasize about a better one. But looking at the tens of millions of people in the world, how many people can really be satisfied? Some people are addicted to gambling, but they hope to be able to obtain thousands of family properties. Some people are good drinkers, and more people like to indulge in the illusory dreams where they can forget everything. Some people are cruel and murderous, because only blood can excite them...... Everyone, has their own **. If you can't be released, if you are depressed, you are likely to deteriorate and have an accident, give up on yourself, sigh, or fall into madness. But what if it could be satisfied? Even if it is just an ethereal ephemeral, compared to a life that is unwilling and tired of a long time, even if it is just a dream, at least they can be satisfied with intoxication, which is also a great joy for them. ”
"Desire?"
Ning Yue nodded as if he didn't understand, and there were still a few doubts in his eyes.
Turning his head to look at the tent in the distance, Su Qian sighed again and continued: "The Snow Dragon Empire is strong, but there are still many people living in poverty and suffering. There are also many people who are barely satisfied materially, but they still have greater goals and ambitions in their hearts, however, they cannot achieve them for a long time. I asked a man who had failed in business, with his remaining assets, why he had to give up on himself and live with the help of phantom powder. You know, how he answered? ”
"It's hard, tired, don't want to fight again?" Ning Yue replied casually, this was the answer to his first reaction.
Su Qian nodded lightly and responded, "The meaning is almost there." The previous failure had made the merchant disheartened, and compared to the hardships of working hard again, and the expectation that he might be disappointed in the end, relying on phantom powder to briefly enter the void of satisfaction, such an escape made him more satisfied. Phantom powder, illusory dreams, no matter how beautiful the short-term satisfaction is, it is just a mirror. However, they prefer to sleep in the false illusion that will bring endless consequences to them than to the pain they can't get, so as to avoid cruelty and escape from themselves. The sorrow of man and the death of desire. ”
Ning Yue replied: "Although, I don't want to help these self-defeating people. However, the people who make and sell phantom powder are really unforgivable. If you can, can you bring me with you on the next hunting operation? ”
"This, I'm afraid it's inconvenient, right?" Su Qian's face was embarrassed.
But the next moment, a slightly bold voice floated from outside the tent.
"What's inconvenient? I promised! ”
