Chapter 421: Types of Holy Medicine (Happy New Year to everyone!) )
Wang Tao suddenly thought of the Shang Qin he had seen in the underground garage before.
"I don't know what kind of identity he plays in this twilight church......"
Shang Qin gave Wang Tao a good feeling, but his strength was very weak, only the strength of the second order, and it was estimated that he was a deacon at most......
If there is a chance in the future, Wang Tao is ready to go to the underground garage again.
Zhu Fen didn't know if there were any other priests besides herself, there was a high probability that there were none in the base, and there should be one outside. As for how many bishops there were, she didn't know.
The meaning of the badges on their chests is the same as Wang Tao guessed, the diamond-shaped is the deacon, the square is the priest, and the round is the bishop. Among them, the black badge is primary, silver is intermediate, and gold is advanced.
Zhu Fen is now a high priest, and if he goes up one level, he will be a bishop. She herself is working hard to become a bishop now, of course, in the current situation, it would be good if she could save her life, bishop or something, she didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Wang Tao was very curious about why she, a member of the committee and one of the 23 highest-ranking people in the Changhe base, became a member of the Twilight Church. If she founded this church, it is reasonable, but not only was it not her, but she was not even a bishop, and there were people above her......
Faced with this problem, Zhu Fen said that joining the Twilight Church can allow her to live longer, make her reborn, become stronger, and even live forever!
This answer made Wang Tao speechless, and it was obvious that this Zhu Fen had also been brainwashed. The thing that can brainwash her is the so-called holy medicine!
Wang Tao learned from Zhu Fen and the others that there were two versions of the holy medicine. One is the regular version and the other is the premium version.
The church leaders drank the premium version, and the believers drank the regular version.
The difference between the premium version and the regular version is that there are a few more things in the premium version. Zhu Fen didn't know what it was. Because she didn't know how to match these holy medicines, and she didn't know the raw materials, which she had bought from the bishop outside.
To Wang Tao's surprise, Zhu Fen didn't know that the holy medicine was poisonous - to be precise, Zhu Fen didn't know that the holy medicine would eat the dead, she only knew that the holy medicine would be addictive. In her eyes, this elixir is similar to smoking cigarettes, at most it is a little more addictive than cigarettes, far from reaching the level of drugs.
And the reason why she thinks so is not only because she has been brainwashed, but more importantly, the high-grade version of the holy medicine she drinks is different from the ordinary holy medicine.
Wang Tao saw that when Zhu Fen and the others came, they were not in a state of poisoning. And after they also drank a bowl of holy medicine, they became poisoned. However, compared to the poisoning state of other people, they are much lighter.
[Poisoning: An ordinary toxin with a certain degree of addiction, taking it for a long time can lead to an increase in certain desires, and it can be detoxified if you don't take it within 3 days]
is like the poison on Zhu Fen's body, her poisoned state also increases some desires, which is similar to Xia Zhen's. But Xia Zhen's poison needs to be taken for 30 days without continuing to detoxify. And Zhu Fen can detoxify as long as she doesn't take it for 3 days.
This time is reduced by a factor of 10 at once!
Another example is Zhu Fen's third-order bodyguard, the poison in him is lethal, but the time to quit is also reduced a lot.
[Poisoning: A common toxin with a certain degree of addiction, which can lead to death if taken for a long time. Detoxification can be achieved without taking within 12 hours】
This time is even less, only 12 hours, which means that you can quit as long as you hold it for half a day. Compared with the seven days on Qiu Rong's body, the time required for this abstinence has been reduced by more than ten times.
This should be the effect of the thing added in the advanced version of the Elixir.
Judging from Xia Zhen and Qiu Rong, the onset of "holy medicine addiction" probably started two to three days after taking it. So like this one that can be detoxified in 12 hours, you can't wait for the attack at all, and you will detoxify yourself.
Even if it was Zhu Fen's, it would take three days to detoxify, and she only had to endure it a little and it would pass.
And they didn't drink it very often, the bishop said that the advanced version of the elixir should be drunk once every three to five days, and the regular version should be drunk once a day or two, and they always followed this instruction.
So they don't think it's toxic, they think it's like cigarettes.
Of course, they feel that this effect is much more powerful than that of cigarettes, and the physical refreshment is secondary, mainly because they feel that it can make them reborn.
As for what this so-called rebirth is, Zhu Fen said that the bishop she has seen has already been reborn - the bishop will not be attacked by zombies!
She saw with her own eyes that the bishop was in a no-man's land among the corpses. The zombies don't attack him at all!
Now in this apocalypse, one of the biggest threats to mankind is the zombies that can never be killed. They don't think that humans have a chance to win, after all, there are too many zombies!
But if zombies stop attacking humans and can live in peace, then this is equivalent to being reborn!
So they are steadfast in their devotion to the effects of this elixir.
And the bishop said that not being attacked by zombies is only one aspect of the rebirth of the holy medicine, and there are many other benefits......
Seeing the frenzy in Zhu Fen's eyes, she really felt that this holy medicine was very powerful.
Wang Tao's face was a little strange.
Won't be attacked by zombies?
Jiang Shixue will not be attacked by zombies!
She has a special physique, and she was similar to a zombie before, and the zombies don't attack her at all, and will treat her as a kind. Now Jiang Shixue's physique has changed back, but there may still be the breath of zombies, anyway, as long as she doesn't get too close to the zombies and doesn't deliberately attack the zombies, the zombies won't attack her.
In addition to Jiang Shixue, Wang Tao also has a concealment potion in his hand, and this thing will not be attacked by zombies.
So, this is considered "rebirth"?
Wang Tao was a little speechless, but he didn't plan to explain to Zhu Fen.
He thought about it carefully, and he felt that the damage caused to his body after the poisoning of the holy medicine should be permanent, even if it was detoxified.
Wang Tao had seen those pesticide poisoning before the end of the world, and even if he finally saved his life, he might fall ill. Not to mention the damage that drugs do to the body, which is even more terrifying, and basically irreversible.
If these poisons are really permanent, then this advanced version of the holy medicine is really not necessarily better than the ordinary version......
After all, the ordinary version of the holy medicine is more difficult to quit, but the poisoning is also more obvious, and it can be prevented in advance.
For example, Qiu Rong and them, after meeting Wang Tao, Wang Tao will definitely forcibly help them get off drugs. Even if it's not Wang Tao, but someone else sees it, as long as she is a person with a normal brain, she can see that there is something wrong with her body.
But people like Zhu Fen, because the time required for quitting is relatively short, and they drink it every three to five days, so they are usually the same as normal people, and they are not poisoned. The average person can't tell that they are poisoned.
And they are very fanatical about this holy medicine, even if they are physically abstained, they still want to drink it, and they have formed a spiritual dependence.
Then there may be a situation where they may normally look normal, and suddenly one day they will die violently! There are no signs at all, and there is no way to prevent it.
Therefore, Wang Tao felt that relatively speaking, the ordinary version of the holy medicine might be better, at least he could see it and prevent it......
Of course, if you look at it from the perspective of quitting, it must be better for the advanced version, and you can quit after three days at most. But the people who drank the high-grade medicine were the backbone of the Church of Twilight, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with the medicine; People who drink ordinary medicine, there may be some who have not been completely brainwashed, they want to quit, but the time is too long, they can't quit at all......
Wang Tao felt that this should be the bishop's purpose - the poisoning of the backbone should not be too obvious, otherwise it would be easy to be discovered. So they take the premium version. It doesn't matter to ordinary believers, anyway, they don't know the identities of the backbone members, even if they are exposed, it doesn't matter.
Although Zhu Fen didn't know that this medicine could kill people, she also knew that this medicine was addictive and could have some side effects. If this addictive thing is discovered, it will definitely be shouted and beaten by everyone, so she doesn't dare to make it public. She was ready to develop slowly, striving to let the holy medicine come to the front of the stage from behind the scenes, but unfortunately Wang Tao discovered it......
Wang Tao continued to interrogate Zhu Fen, asking her what the side effects of taking this holy medicine were. That is, what kind of desire she has enhanced.
But Zhu Fen couldn't answer, because the matter of enhancing desire was imperceptible, Zhu Fen didn't feel that her desire was enhanced at all, she felt that she was normal.
There was no way, Wang Tao could only ask from other angles, and Zhu Fen also cooperated, although she couldn't answer what her desire was enhanced, but whatever Wang Tao asked, she just knew everything.
Then Wang Tao found that her increased desire was the same as Xia Zhen's, and it was also that kind of desire.
However, she is much better than Xia Zhen, Xia Zhen is treated as a personal item and has no way to resist......
But Zhu Fen is different, she has a large amount of holy medicine in her hands, and she is not restricted. She said she had more than a dozen able-bodied male slaves in her own home......
She even had unclear relationships with some male subordinates......
Wang Tao can only say that he can play.
In addition to Zhu Fen's poisoned state of increasing desire, the poisoned state of the other third-order official was also an increased desire.
However, after Wang Tao asked Jiang Shixue to ask, he found that what he increased was not the desire for men and women, but the desire for power.
No wonder he deliberately trained Xia Zhen, but he didn't do anything to Xia Zhen, it turned out to be another desire.
This made Wang Tao frown.
If it's all the desires of men and women, it's actually okay to say, but this desire for power is very troublesome......
For example, these two deputy mayors, one of their increased desires is "eating", and the other increased desire is also "power"!
They wanted to kill Yao Guodong, it was the deputy mayor who had an increased desire for power that started it, and this kind of person was a time bomb for the base.
Fortunately, Zhu Fen has been captured now, and other church members can be arrested through Zhu Fen. As a priest, Zhu Fen knew the identities of all the people under her, and she had a list in her hand.
Then Wang Tao asked about Xia Zhen again, since the deacon didn't have any thoughts about Xia Zhen, why did he treat her like that?
Zhu Fen answered Wang Tao's doubts - this was instructed by her.
Not only Xia Zhen, but also some other women, especially the female family members of some officials, were secretly lured by them to drink the holy medicine, so they all listened to Zhu Fen's orders!
For example, the reason why Qiu Rong and Li Xin were able to drink the holy medicine was because Zhu Fen controlled it behind their backs.
Zhu Fen only likes strong men, she naturally has no interest in these women, these are just her tools.
At certain critical moments, these women will be of great use, such as the stabbing of Yao Guodong, which is an example.
And that's not all, she deliberately trained these women well, preferably to make them sluts who can have fun, and then used these women to bribe those committee members!
The Changhe base is controlled by 23 commissioners, of whom only 3 are women, and the rest are men. If she could take down those men, wouldn't that be equivalent to taking down the entire Changhe base?
So she specially prepared these women and wanted to play a role at a critical moment. Maybe some people will lift their pants and don't recognize people, but she is not afraid, she not only tempts with women, but also finds a way to get these women to pour holy medicine on them!
If these committee members all drink the holy medicine, then they will all be controlled by her! She'll be able to control the entire base!
Her idea is very bold, but with the existence of the holy medicine, the feasibility is also very high.
It's a pity that I met Wang Tao - no, even without Wang Tao, she might have some trouble. Or because of Yao Guodong's assassination, those members of the legion felt that strength was fundamental, and some even wanted to abdicate.
If it was a third-order member, she would still be able to control it with holy medicine, but if she let a fourth-order awakened person take the position, she knew that she would definitely not be able to control it—someone could slap herself to death, how could she coerce and lure?
So Zhu Fen came over in person this time, in fact, he also wanted to develop more believers, and by the way, he saw if he could promote a few more believers to do things for himself, but he met Wang Tao and was served by Wang Tao......
……
Wang Tao compared the situation he got from Zhu Fen with the others, they definitely didn't know as much as Zhu Fen, but what they said was similar to what Zhu Fen said. It shows that they are not lying, which makes Wang Tao very satisfied and saves him a waste of words.
"Look, I've satisfied your curiosity, can you let me go?"
Zhu Fen immediately said cautiously.
Her mask hadn't been taken off yet, and she hadn't revealed her identity, so she felt that if she could leave, she would not only be able to live, but also continue to be a member of the committee.
As a result, the cracked mask on her face suddenly shattered, revealing her true face.
“……”
"Looks like you're out of luck."
