Chapter 106: Why Do the Weak Make Trouble?
After Matthias took Sanmantha and Mo Chen through a door, the three of them continued along the road, and sure enough, a Buddha statue that was being worshipped soon appeared in front of them.
It was just around the corner at the end of the road, perched against a cliff.
The statue is carved out of a single stone, taller than two adults combined, and the pedestal below indicates that it may have been worshipped in the temple before, but the wind and rain have left the temple with only some ruins left.
The Buddha statue itself is relatively well protected and has not been destroyed much, and the most important thing is that until now, there are still people worshipping it-
A large number of candles and offerings are placed in front of the Buddha statue in an irregular and irregular manner.
The sacrifices were still relatively fresh, whether they were wild fruits or prey, but the candles were still lit and burning quietly in this stable shelter from the wind.
"How so? It seems like it's really Himiko? ”
Sanmantha was stunned for a moment, and she subconsciously raised her hand to cover her mouth.
"So it's really Yamatai here? But that was thousands of years ago, so why are there still people worshipping now...... Wait, is there anyone else on this island? ”
Although Laura didn't say anything, Captain Rose also told her about Laura's troubles when the crew of the Stoic contacted each other before, so Sanmantha knew that there were other people on the island.
However, she didn't know much about it, but she thought that maybe those people were all victims who had also been shipwrecked, just like Mr. Matthias and Mr. Mo Chen next to her.
It's just that not everyone is as easy to talk and not dangerous as these two people, and some of them may be because they are on a desert island and out of civilized society, so they suddenly have bad intentions or something.
She thinks that's what happened to Laura...... But now it seems that it is not the same thing at all!
I am afraid that there are people living on this island, otherwise it is difficult to understand why they are still worshipping Himiko, and I am afraid that people have been doing this kind of thing for many years.
There was a large amount of solidified candle oil beneath the burning candles, and you could tell by looking at that amount that it was definitely not something that the prop team could make up temporarily.
"Hehe, of course there are others, isn't this kind of thing obvious?" Matthias sneered.
"Huh? Mr. Matthias, what do you say...... What is the meaning? Sanmantha hadn't been able to react for a while, and looked at the old man next to her with weak legs and feet a little strangely.
"I mean, of course there's someone else on this island, isn't that what you're looking for?"
Probably thinking that there was no need to disguise anymore after coming here, Matthias smiled coldly and tore his face at once.
I saw that he suddenly changed his previous limping style, jumped away agilely and waved his hand-
"What are you waiting for! Arrest them and send the girl to the Ancient Palace at once! If I'm not mistaken, we'll have a good chance of success this time! ”
"W-What?! What's the matter, Mr. Matthias, don't make such a joke—"
Sanmantha's eyes widened suddenly, she was not stupid and sweet, but even the most naïve person was good. When I heard Matthias's sudden turnaround, I should have known that something was wrong.
She looked around in a panic, and subconsciously approached Mo Chen's direction, wanting to hide behind the other party.
Immediately afterward, the short-haired black girl saw the surrounding forest accompanied by the sound of some sinister soo, and many figures appeared with weapons, either firearms, or bows and arrows.
They didn't know how long they had been hiding around, and after hearing Matthias's order, they all came out of the darkness one by one, either with sneers on their faces, or just staring at the two people in the encirclement with expressionless faces.
"This—this is ...... You ......"
Sanmantha's eyes widened, but her pupils contracted to the limit for a moment, and by this time, she finally understood what was going on.
Mr. Matthias...... No, this guy Matthias is not easy at all, I'm afraid he has been eyeing himself from the beginning, and he has been just trying to trick himself here!
What exactly is he trying to do? I didn't know him before, did I?!
And what did he just say? Grab yourself and ...... And then what ancient palace to take ?!
Unlike Shanmansha's panic, Mo Chen raised his hands very cooperatively, after all, the current development was exactly what he wanted, and then he only needed to show the attitude of "cooperation" and "obedience".
Then if you want to come to this group of guys, you will directly take yourself and Sanmantha to the ancient palace together.
Nice! Plan pass!
"Mr. Mo Chen......" Sanmantha spoke to her only companion in a trembling voice, although she knew that it might not be useful, but she just wanted to get psychological comfort and courage from the other party.
Although Matthias has bad intentions, this same strange temporary companion should be trustworthy, firstly, he came back with Laura before, and secondly, Matthias's words just now -
"Arrest them".
This showed that he was at least not in the same group as Matthias, and when she thought of this, Sanmantha felt a little glad in the bottom of her heart, fortunately there was a companion who came with her.
It's not that there is some sinister death to pull a person to the bottom, it's just that she subconsciously feels a little lucky in her heart, at least she is not alone in such a helpless situation, and the situation that someone is facing together makes her feel a little better.
"Let's see what they want to do first, and they don't look like they just want to hurt us, so don't worry too much......"
Mo Chen sighed, then turned his head and said in a low voice.
"Hmph, you're right, kid, it's a pity - we won't hurt women casually, because they may be real "sacrifices", as for men, it's another story......"
A thug of Solari with a pistol in hand sneered, he seemed to be a leader, and Matthias had just explained to him before quickly leaving with another group of people.
He took a few steps closer and began to aim at the center of Mo Chen's head.
"If the qualifications are good, maybe you still have the opportunity to join us, but it's a pity...... What can a little white face like you do, so—goodbye! ”
Bang!
The gunshot, accompanied by Sanmantha's screams, stimulated the eardrums of everyone present.
The thug who shot Solari was very decisive, and he had already pressed the trigger directly when he spit out the last word, and the Brotherhood of the Sun continued to rule most of the island, so naturally it was impossible to rely on those few people all the time.
They have been selectively absorbing new blood, and many of the refugees who have been killed over the years have been forced to join them, regardless of their previous personalities, and they have quickly and completely integrated into this group after becoming Solari.
When an individual is an isolated individual, he has his own distinct personality characteristics, and when the person is integrated into the group, all his personality will be overwhelmed by the group, and his mind will immediately be replaced by the group's thoughts.
- And when a group exists, it has characteristics such as emotional, non-dissenting, low IQ, etc.
But that doesn't mean that everyone will be accepted successfully, the conditions on the island are difficult, there are not many people to feed, and they need combatants and nothing else.
It's the same now, Matthias didn't deliberately say that he wanted to keep Mo Chen before, they simply decided to kill him.
Anyway, Matthias can rule the entire Brotherhood of the Sun with a terrifying hand is already the limit, and he will not think about maintaining any discipline and order or anything like that, allowing his subordinates to occasionally kill people for fun, brutally torture some people, and vent their pressure-
This is also something that Matthias tacitly acquiesces in.
In the same way, the other Solari thugs had long been commonplace, and when the thug opened fire and Sanmantha covered her face and screamed, they just watched for a long time, the corners of their mouths slightly curled and waiting to see the young man's head exploding.
The sudden blooming of the bewitching blood flower, the blood and brains that burst out at the moment of the person's head bursting, all made them feel a sense of relief in the depths of their hearts.
After all, on this island, they are also trembling in the face of those terrible forces, and only when they kill their own kind in this way will they feel that they have power and can satisfy some kind of fantasy of their own.
And yet—
Mo Chen's head was a little sorry for everyone's expectations, and it didn't explode directly. As if he had foreseen it, the folding knife was erected in front of him at some point.
With a crisp and stirring sound of metal, the sharp blade did not move, but the bullet cut itself in half due to its own speed and fell to the ground.
"It's really not so easy, I've already deliberately admitted it, I just hope you can cooperate a little, don't make any moths for me when leading the way......"
Mo Chen sighed, looking very disappointed.
“……”
“……”
This situation is extremely terrifying, this phenomenon is extremely strange, this kind of unfolding is extremely sudden, and many of the Thugs of Solari, who have become accustomed to indifference to life and death, subconsciously think that they have just hallucinated.
So much so that for a while, no one made a sound at all, they even subconsciously held their breath, and their heartbeats seemed to have skipped a beat at this moment.
"You...... You! How could it be ......"
The guy who fired the shot watched his bullet and was lightly blocked by the helpless young man on the other side with a knife that came from nowhere, and his mouth opened wide unconsciously.
The next moment, he finally came to his senses, and then viciously aimed at the guy's head, and pulled the trigger hard again...... He did, at least for the moment, and he did have the brain give such nerve instructions.
Bang!
The gunshots rang out again, and a cloud of blood erupted from the chest of a stunned Solari thug next to him, and he collapsed with wide eyes.
At this time, Mo Chen's folding knife had just been withdrawn, and at the same time as the head of the guy in front of him flew high, the pistol held by the severed hand had fallen into his hands at some point, and killed one person.
Two more gunshots rang out, and the two nearest thugs were shot through the heart with pinpoint precision and fell down.
However, this turn of events finally brought the others back to their senses, and they yelled in anger and opened fire on the fierce enemy in the field.
The bullets fired from all directions were very dense, but Mo Chen, who had entered a bloodthirsty state, could not only clearly see the trajectory of the ballistics, but even had a vague feeling of ...... They have a bit of a slower feeling.
He reached out and pushed Sanmantha away from the side of him, and then instantly activated one of his spells.
It took a full five or six seconds for the dense gunfire to stop, and the Thugs of Solari looked into the field with some disbelief, only to find that the enemy's figure had disappeared, let alone a corpse, and there was no trace of blood left.
It's incredible, is that man really faster than a bullet?
Just as everyone looked at each other, the shadow at the feet of a thug wearing a turban in a certain direction quietly underwent some strange change.
