Chapter 210: Doctor Bourne
Mu Lan finally saw the sacrifice called "Pig", and her position was close to the bottom of the cave, yes, this "bottomless cave" had an end, it did not lead to the center of the earth or to the gates of hell, and the bottom of the cave could already be sensed at the edge of her detection spell.
On this platform, the mountain wall is carved out of a wide cave, that is, a small cave is carved horizontally into the huge vertical cave, but the scale of this "small cave" is also staggering, wider than her university cafeteria.
Blocked by the tall metal fence, it was clear that there were countless people crowded inside, these people were crawling on the ground on all fours, and the environment inside was so stinking that Mu Lan almost couldn't help but vomit.
Mu Lan took out two gas masks from her personal space, handed them to Lin Yiyi, who was also covering her nose, and then hurriedly put them on herself.
Seeing that Ah Feng was looking at him, Mu Lan's brain made up the eager expression in his eyes, and also took out one from his personal space and handed it to him.
"This is the cult of the Holy Spirit." Robert said.
Whether it is "pig" or "farm", these two names have an abnormal anti-human discomfort, Mu Lan thinks he is a hard-hearted person, but seeing these with his own eyes is still shocked and the evil of the Holy Spirit Secret Sect, and it is not even a question of whether he is evil or not, these fanatical cultists have put themselves above their kind, and treat many of their own kind as random breeding animals, this kind of civilization degradation that has been regressed for thousands of years makes Mu Lan rise to instinctive disgust.
As soon as these humans heard that someone was walking on the platform, they all came to the side of the iron fence, and their heads stretched out in the direction of Mu Lan and the others, which reminded her of the feeling of visiting the farmer's pig farm in the summer camp when she was a child, which was too much like the scene when she was feeding.
"Oh my God......" Lin Yiyi couldn't speak, no matter how rich her imagination was, she couldn't think of the Holy Spirit Secret Sect using this way of breeding humans to provide sacrifices to the evil gods, she was stunned outside the iron fence, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
"I came here for the first time in my youth, and I was as ...... as you were," said Robert, "because of my family's privileges, I grew up studying in an aristocratic school in London, and rarely returned to this remote town that I hated......
"My father made his fortune on the Holy Spirit Cult, but he didn't want me to continue in this quagmire, and he wanted me to stay away from this absurd town......"
"But after he died, I had to come back, and the people of the Holy Spirit Cult told me everything, and the truth simply broke me......"
"It turns out that my navigator father, whom I admired as a child, did that kind of thing...... Evil, blasphemous, filthy ...."
"My family, guilty ......"
The more Robert spoke, the lower his voice became, and he began to be unable to bear to look at his fellow human beings in the iron fence.
"I think your father died in an accident." Mu Lan said.
Rob nodded, "I don't know the specifics, but as the founder of the Holy Spirit Secret Sect, he has been stripped of power at some point, and the Leon family has long lost the power to control Herzros Town. ”
"Your father only wants to get rich, and those fanatical believers want more, and there will be division." Mu Lan concluded, it is still unknown what the Holy Spirit Secret Sect wants to do, but it can be expected that it must be related to the old rulers behind the cult, who want to do a big thing.
"Oh my God! James Byrne! Professor Leonard pointed to a figure in the cave and exclaimed, "There he is!" ”
Everyone looked along the place he pointed, and sure enough, there was a man in tattered clothes leaning against the wall, he was different from the people around him, first of all, in the clothes, some of these "sacrifices" were clothed, some were naked, but even those who were dressed were ragged like beggars, this person was much more neat, and from the point of view of the shape, it was vaguely possible to see the style of the vest lining the suit jacket.
He didn't lie on the ground like the other "sacrifices", but leaned quietly against the wall alone, looking at the cave wall, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Bourne! Bourne! Leonard shouted urgently, and the man finally responded, and he followed the sound to look at the crowd, but his eyes were blank.
"I'm Leonard! I'm here to save you! Bourne, did you hear that? ”
The man was startled, then stood up, he squeezed through the crowd that stood in the way, and then clung to the iron railing, his expression was a mixture of excitement and excitement, and then said loudly:
"Leonard? Professor Leonard! Is that you? ”
Leonard stared sadly at this pen pal who had been dating for many years, he looked extremely embarrassed at this time, his face was emaciated and out of shape, his skin was pale and bloodless, and his body was as thin as a skeleton, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up, so he had to hold on to the iron fence to prevent himself from falling.
"You're finally here...... I thought, I thought I was going to die here! Dr. Byrne howled loudly, and his miserable appearance was touching.
Robert silently lowered his head and sighed softly.
Looking at the scene of the reunion of the two old friends, Mu Lan had some indescribable emotions, and then suddenly a task prompt came to her mind.
[Main Quest: Explore the town of Herzros and learn the secret of Dr. Bourne's disappearance, mission completed]
Glancing at Lin Yiyi, the first main quest was finally completed, and the haze of this town was revealed, I don't know what the follow-up development of the copy will be.
Patting the silent Robert, Mu Lan said, "Don't feel guilty, how about giving you a chance to atone for your sins?" ”
Robert was startled, then looked at Mu Lan sharply, "What are you going to do?" Don't......? ”
Mu Lan took out a particle cutter from her personal space, gestured at the iron fence, and then cut a hole horizontally along half the height of her height, and the iron fence fell to the ground, and Professor Leonard hurriedly took Dr. Byrne out.
The humans who were being sacrificed inside did not know what was happening, and they all called out in strange tones, and it seemed that these people had not only degraded from standing and walking, but also lost their ability to speak.
Dr. Byrne devoured the food that Mu Lan threw at him, crying while eating, and at the same time told Professor Leonard the story that had happened in the past six months.
"Those damned infidels! They knocked me unconscious and threw me here! ”
"I was fed some medicine, and now I can't see anything...... Leonard, I'm blind! ”
"And then there's the dark detention...... I was treated like a pig, these people would feed once a day......"
"That muddy, disgusting fodder......" Bourne retched as he thought he was eating, and covered his mouth to keep the gluttonous food from being wasted, he hadn't eaten normal human food in a long time.
"At first I couldn't compete with those people...... But then, then I gave in because I was so hungry..... I'm going to scramble, like a dog......."
"Every day was spent in the dark...... There was a lot of movement all around me, and you know how I spent it, every moment was a torment...... If it weren't for a few English speakers here, I would have lost my motivation to survive......"
Dr. Byrne began to cry as he spoke, and Professor Leonard's expression was unbearable, and despite the filthy smell on his body, he hugged his old friend who had been through the tragedy.
