Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Myth Descends
Although he was so jealous that he was going crazy, he kept cursing in his heart that this operation would continue to fail.
However, Smith was not stupid enough to show his true thoughts in front of the others, he just pretended to be calm and thought about it for a while, and then nodded, and asked in a routine tone:
"Are you sure this one tonight will be successful?"
"Not sure, I can only say that there is a high probability ......," the officer shook his head, "at least eighty percent or more, but sometimes the unexpected always comes suddenly." ”
Damn crow's mouth! Can't you say something nice?
Wait, wait, why should I care about this, if the crow's mouth is unlucky, shouldn't it be a good thing for me?
Smith's cheeks twitched a few times,
"Eighty percent...... That's not going to work, no matter what, you have to find a way to make sure that tonight's operation is as successful as possible! ”
Smith thought for a moment, and then said so solemnly.
"It's hard to repeat this kind of thing a second time at present, you must know that the current era is not the past, you can blatantly use a large number of living people to sacrifice, if it fails this time, we can't repeat it a second time in a short time......"
The sacrifice of living people to the gods is one of the most famous horrific customs in the world.
Because the ancients believed that everything in the universe was controlled by the gods, people prayed to the gods for blessings and avoided disasters through the activities of worshipping the gods, and whenever they worshipped the gods, they needed to take out valuables as tributes -
And in some places, human lives are even directly used as tributes to show piety.
For example, in the Shang Dynasty in China, the style of human sacrifice was particularly prevalent, and its use of many people and cruel means were unimaginable to later generations, and the Indians who were said to be related to Yin Shang also had a tradition of human sacrifice.
Before the 60s of the last century, the officials, aristocrats, and upper-class monasteries, which accounted for less than 5 percent of the total population, occupied almost all of Tibet's land, grasslands, and livestock, and the upper-class lamas of various sects also killed people as offerings when practicing Tantric Dharma.
According to Chinese records in the 14th century, it has been mentioned that they used human brains, shins, human skins, human hearts and livers as offerings.
There is also a new study that suggests that European prehistoric hunters and gatherers were also involved in bloody human sacrifice. As for the Mayan and Aztec cultures, which were notorious for their murderous rituals -
These two civilizations are seen as the origin of this horrific practice.
All in all, human sacrifice was once a common and obsolete custom around the world, although it has now become very rare.
After all, it is alien to modern mainstream beliefs, and most religions condemn this horrific practice, and even contemporary law classifies it as illegal.
No matter how arbitrary the Americans are, they dare not explain the brazen public arrest of people for large-scale sacrifice, and now this vote is all they are trembling, operating prison death row inmates through the covert, cracking down on domestic gangster forces, and retaliating against foreign terrorist organizations......
And so on and so forth, so that the three-pronged approach was able to gather enough "sacrifices" in a short period of time.
But this kind of thing can be done at most once, whether it is a prisoner who is suitable for black-box operations, or a gangster force who is angry and resentful, or a terrorist organization that is jumping abroad, it will take time to grow.
It's like cutting leeks, you have to wait for them to regenerate before you can cut another stubble.
Of course, the United States will not just give up, they have already found a way to open up a larger market, after all, in this era, although human sacrifice is not accepted by the mainstream culture, but the world is so big, so as long as you look carefully, you can still find traces.
- Especially in the extremely underdeveloped regions that still believe in certain traditional cultures.
But at the same time, it is impossible to find a relatively safe and reliable supply channel, and to harvest leeks in a long stream, like this time, tens of thousands of people are like cattle to harvest.
Therefore, there is only one chance, and if you gamble all this time and the result is still a failure, then there is no possibility of continuing to repeat the experiment.
That's why Smith puts pressure on the officers.
He personally thinks that such an important matter, if there is a chance, then even if there is only one or two percent of the possibility, he will choose to fight...... But apparently those big guys won't like the word "spelled".
What those big people want is that there are no accidents, no obstacles, and smoothly let them become high-level life forms above mortals, comparable to the gods in the sky.
In fact, those big people feel that they have paid a huge price, after all, they have to fight for the complicated work of the right to launch a nuclear bomb with a few other people, and they are not sure that they can complete the great cause of killing gods with the click of a finger-
I don't know what the mechanic of kill detection is.
Ostensibly obedient to the advice of the big guys, Smith pressured the officers to succeed in summoning the disobedient gods, but in fact he was cursing in his heart that this thing would fail, and that it would be better to continue to have a huge accident that would shock the whole world.
Those big men still want to compete with the gods of heaven and rule forever noble?
Bah! The best thing is to steal chickens and rice, so that those old and immortal guys pay a huge price and get nothing, and even have to bear the blame for the huge losses of the United States.
It's like the leader of the hawks, the famous political creature, who has never suffered such a loss before, and then he has all the black cauldrons on his back-
In the past, the public was very vocal and was considered to be a figure who could lead a new era and dominate the world. After the Fourth Fleet was gone, he was splashed with an unknown amount of dirty water, swallowed all the bitter fruits, and even became the culprit of the disaster to the country and the people......
Suddenly everyone shouted and fought, he was originally a person who was old and strong, quite mentally healthy, but he couldn't stand the big reversal, and the sharp turn of stimulation made him admitted to the intensive care ward, and it is said that he has not been out of danger so far.
If there is a big reversal similar to the destruction of the Fourth Fleet now, those high-ranking big men are afraid that they will plummet in an instant, and even the forces behind them will suffer huge losses......
Jealousy can make people crazy, and Smith knows that he has fallen into such a bad mood, but he can't suppress his eyes, and he doesn't feel the need to suppress it.
Anyway, I cursed a few times in my heart, and it was impossible for me to really lose my mind and do something unwise.
There's no reason to say what you say is what you say, right?!
Mr. Smith thinks so, and acts rather calmly, except that his perception has not yet been fully transformed, even after the great shock of the mysterious world coming to the surface.
Therefore, he did not understand the consequences of not believing in evil sometimes, nor did he understand how devastating the crow's beak was.
……
……
Dark night, no stars, no moon.
The sea was cold and biting, the howling sea breeze was blowing, and a strong wind blew by, turning into the figure of a teenager.
"He" looked down at the island below, his gaze seeming to penetrate the inland, directly to see the military buildings beneath the ground, and the mysterious rituals that were being prepared.
This is a very peculiar teenager, with a handsome and god-like appearance, and the upright five palaces have a bit of a neutral feeling.
"He" had dark hair down to his shoulders, his skin was white ivory, his body was slender, and he was draped in a somewhat tattered and scruffy robe, like a garment that would only be worn in an oasis in the desert.
It was the Persian military god who broke free from the myth in advance and strode into the world, Veleslana.
He looked at the island for a moment, then looked up to observe the sky, estimating how much time it would be until midnight.
But in the next moment.
It seems that the dim dark clouds have dispersed, a touch of white moonlight has fallen, and the vast bright moon has appeared in the sky, and it seems to have come across the sea, and it seems to have been hanging high in the sky, hidden behind the dark clouds.
"......" The ancient Persian god of war was stunned for a moment, and then laughed freely.
"It turned out to be you, when we met before, although you also had the divine aura in this area, but you were deficient, and now it seems that you have completely condensed your authority?"
"Sort of, but I wonder why you're here, Veleslana?"
The vast bright moon emitted a silvery-white brilliance, suddenly fell sharply, and then turned into a man in the middle of the fall, he shrugged his shoulders gently, and stood opposite the Persian god of war against the night breeze above the sea.
"My tip-off clearly points out that you've been in the Mediterranean all along, and you've been wandering back and forth."
"I was indeed stranded in the Mediterranean region before, mainly because I sensed the divine aura of King Mecal, and I think this god king should be about to break free from mythology and come to the world, so I have been looking for a place where he may come."
Welleslana smiled gently, without the slightest intention of concealing it, and said in such a bright and upright manner.
"But just yesterday, His divine aura suddenly disappeared and appeared on the other side of the planet, and I rushed here out of curiosity."
"It's normal, someone here is holding an ancient ritual to summon the sun, but it's just a half-hanger, and he doesn't even grasp the direction of the sacrifice object."
Mo Chen shook his head and laughed softly.
"The Canaan Sun God is probably very close to the real world, and even if he is not summoned, he will soon come on his own, so according to the principle of proximity, he will be pulled over directly."
"I see." Veleslana nodded casually.
He didn't really care what the specific reason was, anyway, whatever happened, he would just come to him.
"By the way, you should know something about the recent cataclysm, right?" Mo Chen opened his mouth and said, "We need the power of the sun god now to curb the mutation from the sun, otherwise this planet will be destroyed, and there will be half a month at most." ”
"So what?" The young military god asked with interest.
"Maybe this ancient god king is one of our current choices, don't look into anything else, let's save this planet first......" Mo Chen also moved his gaze down, looking at the lonely island on the sea below.
"If you can't find the key to Chakchel, it's just a palliative, and if the divinity of the sun is not concentrated in the hands of a single pillar god, then you can only interfere with the influence, but you can't really control the sun."
Willeslana shook his head.
"I know this, but it's just ......," Mo Chen replied, but before he could start speaking, he suddenly stopped, and he looked at the dark sky in the distance with feeling.
The young god of war did the same, and the two of them looked at the island below at the same time.
At some point, the wind became even more violent, and the sea began to raise huge crests like hills after hills. Dense dark clouds began to converge from all directions.
And at the end of the sky in the direction that Mo Chen was looking at just now, a large area of "black clouds" was also rapidly converging towards this side, covering the clouds and the moon along the way, and the black pressure also emitted a strong "buzzing" sound.
Locust!
An untold number of locusts, a sudden catastrophe!
They came out of nowhere, turning into a black and vicious torrent, rushing through the night sky, and their destination was very obvious.
At the same time, the high-level inside the island began to quickly evacuate -
Neither the soldiers nor the scientists in charge of the experiment knew that the top brass was already on a military helicopter, after all, those in the know knew that a nuclear bomb might soon hit it.
However, as soon as a few military helicopters took off, they found that the sea had become vicious and violent.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, as if in a rage.
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
