Chapter 228: A Painting?
Rumble!
Ren Yi's mind was excited, and there was chaos in an instant!
What? The Adventist?
How could the Adventist be human?
But he had a faint thought in his heart...... It's not impossible! The Advent has different forms, and can even be disguised as pillars, so why can't they be humanoids?
"What the hell is going on?" Ren Yi immediately frowned and asked, "You guys smashed my car, if you don't make it clear, this matter won't be so easy to solve!" β
"Don't believe them! They talk nonsense! The girl whimpered and wept bitterly on the hillside.
"This ......," the group of men with weapons in their hands glanced at each other, and the leader pointed up the hill, "Standing on the main road and driving back and forth, it's not a problem, if you want, come up with us, and I'll tell you the truth." β
Ren Yi thought for a moment and put away the heavy sword.
"Yes, but you have to hand her over to me on the way. If she's the Adventist, you're dying. If not, I won't let you take your lives. β
β¦β¦
Ten minutes later, Ren Yi sat down in a makeshift tent on the hillside above the road, and the girl was watched by several people, crying in despair.
The leader brought Ren Yi a cup of hot water and sat down opposite him.
"My name is Yang Dexing, and I am the son of the castle owner. In the past half month, something has happened in our homeless fort, and many people have become weaker and weaker, listless, and even old and frail, and they can't wake up in their dreams......"
"Almost every day, there are people who fall asleep one day and never wake up the next day."
"We've checked countless times, but there's no clue at all."
The leader sighed and spoke.
"There are also capable people in our fort, and according to her, we have met the Advent."
At this point, several young men standing in the tent immediately became worried.
"The person with the power in our castle is telekinesis, she has the ability to premonition, and she can predict the prophet. Thanks to her abilities, our Outcasts have avoided many disasters. β
"She is very old and has a lot of status in the village, and we all call her "Goddess". β
"We were originally a group of outcasts, building villages in the wilderness to defend ourselves. This time, I heard that the entire Eastern Alliance is going to relocate the population, and without the large fortress city to exchange supplies, we will soon find ourselves in a dilemma of being unable to protect ourselves. In addition, there are no people in the wilderness and no help, and the living environment will be even worse in the future. After thinking about it, we can only move with the large army. β
"When we reported this to the Divine Woman, she spied it out with her powers and uttered a wordβ"
Yang Dexing paused, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
He looked at Ren Yi and slowly spit out three words: "-" Star and Moon Diagram". β
Yes? Ren Yi was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a long time, what does this mean?
Seeing that he didn't understand, Yang Dexing explained, "This is the original words of the "god woman", and I don't understand it. Her ability can only be vaguely perceived, but the "goddess" can't explain what it is. β
Meaning...... This time the Adventist has something to do with the word "Star and Moon Chart"?
Ren Yi groped his chin and thought as he listened, not to mention these ordinary villagers, he had dealt with so many Adventists, and at first glance he was confused by these three words, it was like a riddle.
"So, we can only use it as a clue and keep trial and error."
"I think you are also a master, and those who dare to travel alone in the wilderness these years must have encountered a lot of things. And what do you think of the meaning of your words, as if you are quite experienced in dealing with Adventists? Yang Dexing handed Ren Yi a flue.
"Star-Moon Chart...... It sounds like a painting," Ren Yi pondered, "I've seen the advent attached to an antique cultural toy, and it must be possible to attach it to an ancient painting." β
"That's what we thought," Yang said, "so we mobilized the whole village to burn all the calligraphy, paintings, old photos and other things in our house, and then burned them all." β
"But it didn't work at all, we guessed wrong, and people kept dying."
"It is not excluded that some people will not give up (this chapter is not finished!) )

De, the possibility of hiding it privately; But one way didn't work, so we went in a different direction......"
"Wait," Ren Yi interrupted, "what does this have to do with that girl?" Could it be that her family has hidden a widow and is unwilling to hand it over? β
"No," Yang Dexing shook his head, "The star and moon diagram are three words, and no one can be sure that this represents a painting, and it may have other meanings...... For example, it's a personal name! β
"Huh?" Ren Yi was shocked.
"We have all the surnames in the fort and the names with "stars" and "moons" in them, and we will check them one by one! β
"Her name is Shen Xingyue!"
How is that?!
Ren Yi was dumbfounded when he heard it, this way of thinking is too jumpy!
"It's not like that at all!" Shen Xingyue struggled violently on the side and said, "Those ancient paintings were all snatched from every family!" β
"Whether people want it or not, it's all on fire! If anyone stands in the way, you say that he has been infected by the Advent, and his mind has long been alienated! β
"I saw an old man who made a living by repairing calligraphy and paintings, because you burned all his belongings, and died of a heart attack in a hurry!"
"How can you blame us for this?" The crowd immediately retorted, "How can you get rid of the Advent if you don't burn it?" He refuses to hand it over, and we don't rob it, what else can we do? Dozens of people die every day, maybe the next day it will be your turn and me, and your turn and my family! What else can we do? β
"And those who you have taken, they are all dead!" Shen Xingyue cried bitterly, "If I don't run, I will be killed by you!" β
"Huh?" Ren Yi listened on the sidelines, "You guys are simply crazy, aren't they?" β
"This is our own business, and it's not your turn to take care of it, don't take an inch!" The rest behind him roared and stood up, picking up the weapons in their hands.
Yang Dexing said indignantly, "We have thought of countless tricks, this is the last resort!" Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back, and you can come again! β
"Where have all those people gone? Did you really kill them all? Ren Yi said, "Maybe there is another explanation for "Starry Night"; Maybe someone really hid a painting. But things are to come out of the mouths of the living. When you kill someone, don't you cut off the clue? β
"No," Yang Dexing said, "we know that the population is scarce now, and the shooting is in batches." Those who were shot were the most suspected. However, things still haven't gotten better......"
"They were all locked up in a warehouse, and they had gathered another batch today, but the woman ran away halfway...... We just chased it out. β
"Take me to see it." Ren Yidao.
"You don't have to worry about our own business!" In the tent, there were still people who said indignantly.
Ren Yi sneered, "It's okay for me to go, but you are obviously exhausted." β
"Even if you kill everyone, you can't find a reason. The Adventist sucks your vibrations every day, and you have to be at odds with each other. I really don't know how you died in the end, whether you were all destroyed by the Descenders, or if the villagers couldn't stand your misdeeds anymore and fought with you to the death? β
With that, Ren Yi turned around and walked towards the outside of the tent.
There was a dead silence inside, and everyone froze in place, not knowing what to do.
"Wait a minute!"
At this moment, Yang Dexing stood up.
"I promise you, but you also promise to help us get things sorted out!"
