Resounding through the valley
When Yu Siqi and the others all returned to Duran's body, William couldn't help but ask, "Have you seen the core of Shengjia?" It's the little ball. β
"Why did you suddenly ask about this? Ah, I see. You care about her. β
Yu Siqi looked down at William at his feet and joked.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just a little worried about her."
William suddenly looked away nervously, and the antics were really funny. However, Yu Siqi held back in time, patted his pocket and said, "Don't worry, she has been staying here." β
"You guys, don't be sluggish, go quickly."
Wan Jie's shouting attracted Yu Siqi's attention, and when he turned around, he found that the movements of those captives were indeed a little too abrasive. Even if they were tied hands and feet, but that was before, in order to make it easier for them to walk, Father An had already untied them from the lower limbs down. But looking at this posture, it doesn't seem quite right. If they always maintained an exuberant heart of resistance before, then now they are like a pool of stagnant water, no matter how you beat and scold, they will not have the slightest reaction. Obviously, Wan Jie also discovered this. I saw her hit it hard, and she flew out one by one of these big men who looked much stronger than her, and they all fell to Father An's feet.
Because what they did in the past was too unpleasant, so when they were treated by such uncivilized means, Xie Baozhen, who couldn't bear it, just moved his eyes elsewhere, and there was no possibility of mercy at all.
But what happened next made Yu Siqi even more suspicious of them. If someone falls to the ground, even if they don't complain, they will probably say something. Even if you don't have anything, at least you have to stand up, right? But they were fine, lying there silently, with no intention of getting up at all.
'Is it deliberate?' What's in it for them? It's nothing more than another meal of flesh and skin. β
Yu Siqi, who couldn't figure out what they were trying to do, shook his head, he had even guessed what Wan Jie would do to them.
Sure enough, Wan Jie, who was a little annoyed, hurriedly walked to their side and picked them up like little chickens, intending to teach them a lesson. Looking at the captives who were still unresponsive, Father An stepped forward to stop Wan Jie's corporal punishment, and at the same time said to her: "Blind ** torture will not make them grow much. What's more, I don't think they care about your corporal punishment anymore. β
"That's not true, I've taken quite a few captives before, Priest. In dealing with these 'cheap bones', I prefer the punishment of **. Because the spirit is irreparable, once it is broken, it is very likely that it will not be played. β
Wan Jie said disapprerovingly.
"That being said, can't you tell they're 'broken'? Of course, I have to emphasize that I myself actually found out not long ago. β
In order to make his argument more convincing, Father Ann actually took the initiative to untie all the ropes that bound them. His actions undoubtedly made everyone look surprised, but the fact that he did not change made everyone present speechless.
Without restraints, although they still have the intention of escaping, they have a feeling that their bodies do not obey the call, and they can only do a few simple actions.
As Yu Siqi, who first sensed that something was wrong with them, he didn't expect these guys to actually dance a mechanical dance after losing their restraints. Looking at every 'mysterious' action they made, Yu Siqi couldn't help but want to get an answer.
"What's wrong with them? It was all fine before. β
That's actually the question I want to ask. There is no doubt that what neither I nor Wan Jie did to them would be, nor would it be possible to turn them into this. Rather than thinking about the cause of the problem from us, I would rather ask if they themselves are the source of the problem. β
Father Ann stared at the fellows for a long time, and came up with a new hypothesis.
"Is it possible that there is something wrong with their own body? It's very possible, I think all of you, especially Wan Jie and Xiaoxiao, you should understand what I mean. β
"Are you saying they're parasitized by those disgusting things?"
Wan Jie walked away from them in disgust and looked at them with wary eyes.
"But they don't have any wounds on the outside!"
Yu Siqi said without thinking, and then he thought of the food, and the pig-like creature they had killed earlier. A bad premonition was brewing in his heart.
At this moment, Father Ann smiled as if he knew what he was thinking.
Looking at Father An's weird smile, and then at Yu Siqi, he couldn't help but make some incomprehensible small movements. Xie Baozhen on the side couldn't help but speak: "Can you not continue to sell Guan Zi in this situation?" Please, Father, my head still hurts a little! β
"Of course, please don't worry, I'll give you what I think."
Father An pointed to the guys who were stunned and motionless like wooden men and said, "You should all know that they are Mr. Song's subordinates, right?" So where they came from, it must also be a matter of self-determination. So this led me to my first thought, after this long journey, are they really not hungry? No, as long as it can be called a living thing, there is such a thing as 'hunger'. If living things are like this, then people like them must have a little more physiological needs than ordinary people. We've all been to the blast site before, and there's hardly anything intact. So, I reasonedβit was very likely that they had gone hunting in the woods to fill their bellies. β
"Does the priest mean that they eat the parasitic boar? How could there be such stupid people! β
Although Wan Jie was very reluctant to believe this statement, this inference invisibly explained the fact that they didn't go to fight the fire, which made her a little shaken.
"Normally, they wouldn't eat that creature, but there's no guarantee that they're aware of it when they're hunting. Or, they're so hungry that they don't have much choice. Although I prefer to believe that it is the former case, if it is the latter, then I can only say that they are so stupid that I wonder how they came to be Mr. Song's men. β
In addition to his unhurried explanation, Father An did not forget to ridicule him in passing, which can really be described as 'unreasonable'.
Because of Father An's words, and how strange those wooden people looked, Yu Siqi and they could only agree with this statement with suspicion.
Just as they were about to discuss what to do with the captives, who might be 'parasitic', Father Ann beckoned to them and said:
"I think we'd better not worry about them for now. Even if they do get parasitized, based on past experience, this kind of thing takes time to grow. And until then, we can do something else. β
"Is it really okay? Aren't you worried at all? β
William looked at the men worriedly, desperately trying to keep himself away from them.
"Do you think I'm going to put you in danger?"
Father Ann asked a serious question, and then took the watch he had collected from his bosom. After adjusting the time slightly, he threw the watch out in front of the big guy.
High-end mechanical watches make a perfect arc in the air and then begin to fall downward. However, one by one, they burst open before they could touch the ground. The deafening roar made Yu Siqi can't help but cover his ears with his fingers, and he, like everyone else, cast a complaining glance at Father An.
The latter bowed slightly, gouged out his ears and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know that the bomb was so powerful now, I should have reminded you to cover your ears if I knew it." But that's fine, such a loud sound should invite that Mr. Song over. After all, we still have something to give him back. β
