78. Rituals

A few days after Kaki and Dama returned to the base to communicate with the association, Ha used a few bugs to do some experiments on live animals.

Further verify your conjectures.

On the grass, Hazy and Sisoka looked at a dead soldier in front of them.

The man's head was shattered, but his hands and feet were still reserved, and he was injured to a certain extent.

Click...

Then, only to hear a strange movement, the corpse slowly stood up from the ground, and a wave of telekinesis also emerged from the body.

Glanced at Lance.

The latter immediately opened fire and fired bullets ...

However, the wound caused by the bullet hitting the corpse was very small, and the force was obviously neutralized...

Hisoka threw out a few cards and sliced off one of the soldier's legs and arms.

Even so, the bones of the fallen body were still crawling, and with the strength of a single lower limb, they jumped up and pounced on them.

Bang.

With a whip leg, it kicked out like an out-of-body blade, shattering the soldier's flesh and exploding it directly.

"Being housed by bugs during your lifetime will have your mind controlled... The life essence will be weakened to a certain extent, as if it has been absorbed... After death, the insect was used as a medium to stimulate the mind. It's just pure qi, and there is a tendency to initially form mental power... The way the mind qi is contracted is clearly to want to defend. Haze spoke.

"That is to say, once it is lodged, the brain becomes a worm, and it is under its command, but because this kind of worm itself has no thinking and intelligence, it can only rely on instinct to drive the mind... The qi after death is also released by the worm, which first absorbs the energy of the individual, and then transforms and uses it..."

As the words spoke, he saw that two insects came out of the corpse's minced flesh.

Originally, it was one.

As soon as the two small insects leaked into the air, they reflexively surged up and attacked.

The flapping of the wings, plus this speed... There was not the slightest sound.

That is, if you see it with the naked eye, if you can't see it, it is easy to be put on the body.

"The thought, or will, that is attached to them has a certain 'protective color', and when it comes to sneak attacks, it is very similar to 'absolute'... In the face of an attack, it can be resisted with thoughts, and it is no wonder that the soldiers have nothing to do with it. ”

With a slight stroke of Sisoka's hand holding the cards, the two bugs were split in two.

After landing, he disappeared with Nian.

"This bug itself is very special, it is not simply parasitic in flesh and blood to lay eggs and reproduce to increase the number... Instead, the thoughts in the body and the attached 'will' are split and transferred to another individual. Hazy's tone was heavy.

Boom boom...

At this time, there was a fierce sound of gunfire from behind, as well as the explosion of artillery fire.

Lance didn't say a word, grabbed Pinson and Dangree with both hands respectively, his legs were accumulated, and the skin of his calves began to appear as red as a soldering iron, and the next second he was like a supercar, and the two of them fled in the opposite direction in an instant.

Hazy and Hisoka vanished in place, probing into the source of the sound.

When I came to the vicinity of the town, I saw a large number of soldiers in white protective suits shooting wildly at animals of different appearances and shapes, some alive and some dead... It turned into a catastrophe of beast tides.

Too many to count...

I feel that the number of parasitic animals is at least tens of thousands, and the black pressure is like a black ocean.

The Dongguotuo army, which had been stationed at the other end of the town, closer to the Sawtooth Mountains, was also forced back, and their numbers seemed to be much smaller... There are less than a thousand left.

Parasitic species, including birds, beasts, and reptiles... The variety of ways to launch attacks means that it is impossible to deal with them with firearms alone.

For example, the flock of birds coiled overhead fell like a curtain of rain.

For a soldier, the lethality of a dive is no weaker than a bullet.

In the face of the rain of bullets, although the beasts in front fell one by one, they quickly stood up again... Even if some of the flesh is destroyed by bullets, the flying bugs will shoot at closer targets.

Some of the soldiers had their protective suits torn and screamed as rations for the beasts.

There are also... When faced with this kind of scene, I was frightened and immediately turned around and ran away...

It seems that the entire species of the Sawtooth Mountains have left their original habitats.

Split.

The nature of division is terrible.

There may be only one or a few bugs at first, but after this period of parasitism and hatching, the number reaches an unimaginable level.

In the crowd, there was one guy who stood out.

is a telepathic who strengthens the system.

Wearing the military uniform of Dongguotuo, there is no protective clothing.

He was the only human to stand tall in the midst of the raging tide of beasts.

The amount of energy that erupted from itself was thicker than that of a hazy, and it was like a humanoid bulldozer among the beasts.

All creatures that came close to him would be torn to pieces by his attacks, and this person's telekinesis was destructive and wide-ranging, giving Hao the illusion that he had seen Wojin.

Dongguotuo actually has such a strong mind!

Both he and Hisoka hid behind the human military camp, in the woods of the town, and used 'absolute' to dissipate their qi so that they could hide easily.

With the presence of this reinforcement master, the military's casualties seem to have been mitigated to a certain extent.

The soldiers were retreating, but the line was not completely dispersed by the parasites.

"It's going to be lost, and the battlefield will expand again..."

Hao was sure in his heart.

He was about to beckon Hisoka to leave first, when suddenly, a person appeared in the depths of his observation of the beast tide.

A man with long braids, his face painted with tattoo-like totems, and a white robe.

It's the Bozwa!

The parasites that were running wild near the man did not attack him.

Then, the pupils shrank.

The Bozwa man raised his hands and made a gesture towards the sky.

Then, he took out a dagger and wiped his neck... Suicide!

After his death, instead of standing up like a dead body, the parasites around him stopped one after another, gathered together, and began to devour his flesh...

There were no bones left, and I ate it clean.

Immediately after, Hazy perceived... The huge herd became more restless and more brutal.

"Withdraw!"

Haze shouted.

Immediately run away.

Hisoka immediately followed.

……

After a long time, he found a safe position and left the territory of the Sawtooth Mountains, and he stopped.

There was a noise from the side, and Sisoka stood still.

"What's wrong?"

The latter asked.

What Essiso knew about Hazy, he felt... Hazy is seeing something.

"It's not a grudge or something... It's not a direct afterthought, but an indirect transmission through the media... Given the will to think after death, there are certain rules......" Hazy ignored Hisoka's voice, and muttered to himself as his brain replayed the actions of the Bozwa.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration.

It's like...

It's like the egg-in-the-pot ritual of the Kajun Empire.

Although the effects and effects presented are different, the types are very similar... There are rules, there are venues, there are sacrifices, there are participants, and in connection with the previous inference, the Bozwa have some kind of special item...

"Birth of the Primordial Worm..."

"It seems complicated, but it's actually very simple... Far less elaborate than the egg in the pot ceremony, the purpose is to continue the life of the race, the participants are both the Bozwa and the monarch of the kingdom, the venue should be the entire Dongguotuo, they want to overthrow the regime, against the royal family... The sacrifice is the Bozwa..."

"Once the ritual is initiated, the Bozwa must sacrifice themselves from time to time until the last 'spark of life', that is, the last person, and the division and parasitism will end......"

He kept whispering, his eyes condensed.

At this moment, he was brainstorming, completely forgetting about Hisoka's existence.

"Huh?"

It was also the first time that Hisoka had seen him like this, and his face was smiling, but he didn't bother.

Let Hazy talk to himself like a neurotic.

"Something, gave birth to a primordial worm, so that it has some effects and abilities... Kick off the ceremony. ”

"The power and effect are far less than the eggs in the pot... After all, the eggs in the pot can allow the princes to have the Nian Beast, but this kind of insect either acts directly on the Bozwa people, or purely relies on its nature and ability to divide and evolve, and the rules are not as binding as the latter, and they are not even obvious. ”

"If the venue is too large, it will also weaken the effect of the ceremony... If the primordial worm or the first batch of bugs had been cleaned up at the beginning, the Bozwa would have died, and this would never have happened, and the ceremony would have ended early... If your analysis is correct, the living mouth of the Bozwa people now cannot destroy the king after the sacrifice of the remaining people, then the victor is the other party, but it can keep the fire of the Bozwa. ”

Hazy sensed that there were rules, precisely because he and Hisoka entered the Jagged Mountains and were besieged by parasitic beasts.

The first to be attacked, it was not him, but Hisoka...

Out of hostility towards the Bozwa.

It's very similar to the prerequisite for using his own telekinesis, and it's his ability that adheres to the rules... Therefore, Hao will be particularly sensitive to rules.

You must know that in the egg ceremony in the pot, the princes' nenbeasts will also protect their respective masters, and there is a certain passive defense mechanism.

Of course, in the pot egg ceremony, outsiders can also intervene and revolve around the participants, that is, the princes... They are the protagonists.

The aim is to compete for the next generation who can succeed them.

I didn't expect it at first, because of the venue... The venue for the eggs in the pot is on the Giant Whale, and many rules are quite obvious, such as the princes can't see their own beasts, and they can't leave the Giant Whale before the ceremony is over, etc., while the ritual of the Bozwa people is weak and unconstrained... The venue is also unclear.

But judging from the gradual expansion of the battlefield now, it may endanger an entire country.

The range is so large... It's not something that rituals can influence at all.

Or, from the very beginning, the ceremony was not so demanding in terms of rules and venues... Because the thing that created the ritual is not very powerful.

Even now, the fission of the swarm is terrible... Ultimately, if it is destroyed in the first place, or if it is cleaned up with crushing fire at the beginning, it will not lead to such a consequence.

It was the Kingdom Army itself that created the breeding ground for the swarm... Brought things out of control.

"Whatever the conditions and factors for the beginning of the ritual ... It's definitely done. ”

"These are all speculations, and they need to be confirmed step by step."

"Is the purpose of the ritual to preserve the last life of the race, or is it to die together? If it's the latter... Then this ritual is the first time to use, and the probability is too small. More likely is the first, racial continuation. ”

"The threat that the association considers is that thing... It should be the source of posthumous thoughts. ”

"It's late, if you come earlier, depending on the purpose of the ceremony, you can start from the rules and let the ceremony end in advance... But now ......"

If it is a ritual for the continuation of the race.

Want to end.

They had two options, the first was to kill all the Bozwas and leave only the last one.

The second is to slaughter the king and give the Bozwa victory.

One of the things that is at stake is whether the creation can cover multiple people...

If the entire royal family is involved, there are not a few, and everyone is a participant?

So, Hao thinks... There is only one goal, and that is the king.

As for how to get them involved in the ritual... What are the conditions and how are they done?

I can't figure it out... But the Botswis have clearly done it.

Bugger... It can't be cleaned up, the base is too large, and it's not the beginning.

The danger of this bug is almost impossible for him and Hisoka...

It can be seen that the ritual creations are relatively ordinary, unlike those nian beasts born from eggs in the pot, which are very terrifying... Hope rests only on a tiny bug, without thought and consciousness.

The only thing is that it spreads quickly......

Hazy is also not quite sure about his inference... It's just that in the light of the current situation, this is the most reasonable.

There is also an explanation that this bug is a species from the Dark Continent.

Forget the idea... Hazy prefers to believe in ritual inferences.

"You... Got it? ”

Hisoka on the side was a little surprised.

He couldn't understand what Hao was saying...

But this friend seems to have insight into the big picture.

It seems like... From the beginning to the end, it was all calculated.

What kind of mind is this?

Obviously, as a team member, he is still confused.

"I'm not sure, let's find Lance and the three of them go back to the base first."

Hazy response.

Hisoka's eyes changed a little...

He understands Hazy and doesn't think Hazy is talking gibberish...

Hao did it, but he didn't do it.

Hisoka stared at the hazy gaze, slightly hot...

Obviously, these days, they receive the same message.

"Tsk, can you take your dirty gaze......" Hao turned around and walked in front of him, and said coldly without looking back.

"Hehehe..."

Hisoka laughed but didn't say anything.

After a while, they found the three Lances.

Go back the way you came and head to the border line.

A few days later, I stepped into a makeshift base not far from the pass.

Kaki and Dama are also there.

Hazy finds her phone and calls Nitro.

Tell your thoughts and the current situation in Dongguotuo.

"Hmm... There's a good chance that your guess ... It seems that things are more serious than I thought..."

The old man said slowly, "I still want to praise you, I found the direction so quickly, and I deserve to be the person I fancied..."

“… It's time for you to be poor. If it's really a ritual, it won't be too threatening to the outside world, but the country of Dongguotuo may be gone... At this rate, the war will spread to the whole country, and few will survive. Hao said lightly.

"Before it fully spreads, I think we can use some 'special items'."

"You mean a nuclear bomb?"

"It is impossible for the regime of Dongguotuo to allow other forces to enter the country... In addition, the area of war is not small now, and it is difficult to stop it by individuals or teams alone! Throw a nuclear bomb down and destroy all the bugs and it's over, which is not difficult for v5, right? Haze sneered.

"Is there a difference? Won't it still provoke international disputes and wars... The impact on society is also immeasurable, and there is no need to go that far if you can do it artificially. ”

"Why don't you make a trip, or send some more men... You don't think about it, and let me do it on my own, right? ”

His heart sank.

"Ho ho ho ... That's not my job. ”

“……”

"According to you, it's a kind of referral ceremony... Just destroy or end it, isn't it? ”

The president yawned, "Oops, I suddenly feel a little sleepy... The older you get, the less mentally you feel... Come on, I'm sure you can do it. ”

Syllable.

Hazy hung up the phone directly.

Squint your eyes...

Dead old man!

It's too hard to code words~~
