Humanoid Machines [Unlimited] Section 277
At this moment, the villagers suddenly shouted in unison, "He has forgiven us!" β
The neat tones that overlapped in that moment almost deafened the players' ears. And it's so sudden and inexplicable, it's like a switch has been activated, which can make people start.
"God's subordinates, who died many years ago, have spent billions of years on their own, so much so that He wants to choose a new oneβin short, God graciously chose to make us His dependents, so He forgave the heinous sins of our ancestors, and we became God's people." The fat man seemed to be very proud of this "history", the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he grinned a scarlet and somewhat weird smile.
"Of course, the human body is too fragile for the damage caused by divine power to be irreversible." The fat man said slowly, "So He did a second blessing." β
"These sacrifices, these 'fry,' are given to us by God."
The fat man said proudly.
The line of sight of Yin Measurement bypassed the players, and it clinged to the body of the "mother" like a sticky and wet worm.
She shuddered slightly, curled up, and looked so fragile that she seemed to be very vulnerable and leaned on Yuan Yuxue's shoulder.
I couldn't make a sound.
"They have always been the property of the Gold and Silver Village."
Chapter 289: Gold and Silver Village 68
Xiao Gao's lips opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he still closed his mouth and scanned the captive humans with a complex and indescribable gaze. She still seemed a little puzzled, "Even if they are different from normal people, but ......"
"Of course it's going to be different." The fat man said, "It doesn't take much effort to reproduce quickly, it only takes three years, and the population can be replaced quickly -- because this is a divine object that God has given to the Golden and Silver Village." They are livestock, not humans. β
"In the middle of the night on the second day after they were taken into the hands of God, the ancestors captured them in the river."
"And ate some of them." The fat man laughed "hehe", there seemed to be some strange light in his eyes, his tongue sticked out, licked his lips slightly, and his sticky and salivating expression made people feel quite uncomfortable. He seemed to be very intoxicated, as if he had personally tasted the ...... "deliciousness" that his ancestors had tasted without borrowing the storytelling.
"Their health has improved, and the villagers, who have pus and blood in their skins, as if they will be digested by their own stomachs in the next second, have gradually become healthy after being fed the broth. And the rest of the fish, of course, must be well protected and raised. β
"After the ancestors ate the sacrifices, the destroyed bodies began to heal. There were some minor after-effects, but they were the punishment they deserved for offending the gods. After receiving the edible offerings, they regained their healthy human form, lived a long, happy, and peaceful seclusion in the gold and silver villages, and became shepherds of the gods. And the gods only receive a very small reward, and we need to sacrifice some of His sacrifices at regular intervals -- after all, He doesn't need to ingest these external objects, but we still have some kind of ritual to show respect. He is so generous to His family that even the most merciful emperors written in history are nothing more than stupid and ugly oppressors compared to our gods. β
"In my generation, although the villagers still have some 'defects' that have been punished for offending the gods, as long as we regularly eat the sacrifices given by the gods, all evils will be eliminated. There are also ignorant and ignorant people who always feel that they are different, who question the existence of God, and who think that they can live well even if they don't eat sacrifices......"
The fat man's gaze sank slightly, and suddenly he looked a little gloomy.
He sneered, the sarcasm on his face very distinct, "It's a pity that you can't let you see such ignorant people with your own eyes, because they have long since died of festering all over their bodies." Or maybe I finally come to my senses and humbly beg for sacrifices, and I will be kind enough to give some to these poor blind people, so that they may not die miserably. Fortunately, we don't see such fools in our village now. β
"What's so good about the outside, the outside? They are all blind walking corpses without faith, and one day when the end of the world comes, they will fall into hell, and only by returning to the gold and silver village is the final place of redemption. The fat man chattered, and his vision always glanced at them casually.
The corners of his lips twitched slightly, as if he wanted to express some high opinions. But for the sake of collecting information, I reluctantly pressed it down for the sake of the task.
Seeing that the fat man's eyes lit up slightly, he really wanted to pull them into the gang and continue to induce them, that look, he was really an overzealous fanatic.
Sure enough, the fat man also spoke, "After you come to the village, you will actually find some changes in yourself, right?" The gods pick the loved ones and mark them with His nameβjust like us. β
"There will probably be some of you who have the same mark as us. For example......"
Once again, the fat man's gaze swept over the players very sticky. His gaze first fell on Yuan Xuxue's body.
"You have a very clear smell on your body, marked by the gods, and you are his favorite powerhouse."
The fat man said, "So you can't speak, can you?" β
Yuan Yuxue ignored him very coldly. didn't give any reaction, very faceless.
It looked like he wasn't listening to the fat man at all. It's just a little distracted to look elsewhere - though at some point, he's been analyzing what the fat man said, after all, it's some information tied to the completion of the mission.
The fat man didn't show any annoyance and anger because of Yuan Xuxue's lack of face, and he looked much more than Lao Li Neng.
And in suits, they restrained their breath slightly, and almost frowned at the fat man.
These "defects" or restrictions imposed on them are relatively subtle and secretive, although not particularly important news, but they have always been careful not to show it in front of the villagers. But in fact, the fat man was obviously very clear about this, because in the next moment, he pointed his hand back to the suit and said, "You have the same smell on you." The fingers of your left hand can't move freely, do you? β
The suit didn't show this when he acted before.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not speak.
The fat man's gaze fell on Xiao Gao's body again, "You ......"
He glanced at it, shook his head slightly, and looked away.
Xiao Gao: "......"
Although it's not a good thing, it still feels subtlely uncomfortable.
"At the festival that night, Lao Li was kind enough to invite you. If you eat the sacrifice at that time, maybe the mark will be removed. You will also find that there will be a very wonderful change in your body from the inside out, as if you have a new body and a clean and dust-free body, which is a very wonderful feeling. The fat man squinted his eyes and looked intoxicated again, as if he was reminiscing about the old moment, and enjoying it very much. So much so that his current invitation seems very sincere and seductive.
"Are you really not going to stay? This is an opportunity to be chosen by God. He invited again.
The corners of his lips twitched slightly, "I'm sorry." We still appreciate the previous plan that you would help us leave. And, as you said, if you eat the sacrifice and you will be cured of all diseases, then your village ......."
The suit dragged out his tone again and again, and his suggestive gaze fell on Lao Li's body, and he began to backstab him again with bad intentions, "How can you still die a young man?" How could there be such a comprehensive and unique funeral ceremony? If I'm not mistaken, Lao Li will hold two funerals in a few days, and three family members will die, which is too probable. Saying this, the suit showed a rather distressed look again, as if he was really just sympathetic, but every time he said a word, Lao Li's face became more ugly, and in the end, he stared at the suit as if his eyes could be on fire.
He gritted his teeth secretly, making a very slight "crunching" sound, and even his facial features were distorted. Presumably, if no one around him stopped him now, he would be happy to pounce on the body of the suit and eat the flesh and bones.
However, the fat man didn't seem to notice the provocation of the suit at all, and even seemed to think about it quite seriously.
"If you want to mention it......"
He took a step forward slightly, just blocking Lao Li's gloomy and hateful face looking at the suit, and said in a very calm tone of a very good man, "The necessary sacrifice is of course inevitable. β
This sentence seems to be a threat to Lao Li.
Because after the sentence "necessary sacrifice", he seemed to calm down suddenly, lowered his eyes, and did not look at them in the suit to provoke, as if he had lost all his emotions at once.
But the fat man didn't seem to be beating him, but continued to explain to the player seriously, "Although those sacrifices are very easy to breed, most of the feed is cheap and easy to obtain, and a considerable part can be taken from the previous batch of sacrifices, but ......"
When they heard the fat man say "take it from the last batch of sacrifices", the players almost understood what kind of "use", and frowned slightly to suppress the anger that rolled in their hearts. The fat man continued to be very simple and patient, "but he still needs to supplement some nutrients appropriately, so that he can continue to reproduce healthily and strongly." After replenishment, we will also leave most of the fattest offerings to be sacrificed to our gods. β
Speaking of this, the fat man sighed slightly, as if he swept the player with a condemning gaze, with a hint of blame.
If it weren't for them, the last sacrifice wouldn't have been ruined.
Compared with the expressionless coldness of Yuan Xuxue's face, there is also Xiao Gao's thoughtful look.
The frown twisted in the suit revealed his dissatisfaction and anger a little.
ββ¦β¦ Nutrition? β
His tone was uncertain, and he read these words emphatically on the tip of his tongue. There was a hint of sarcasm on his face, "I thought you were going to call those animals or some special 'material' as well." Why, human flesh, the corpses of the villagers, can't you say these words? β
At this point, he is particularly direct, and he is too mean to handle. In particular, he raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a rather distinct sense of mockery even if he didn't say anything.
There seemed to be a silent gust of wind in the depths of the cave, so that the paper lamps in the hands of the villagers were blown slightly, and the miserable white light reflected also swayed, shining on the walls, like ghostly shadows.
The fat man seemed to be silent for a rare moment.
When he spoke again, his tone seemed to be a little confused.
"What if you say it?"
"The chosen nourishments are people who are not sincere enough to God."
Chapter 290: Gold and Silver Village 69
In the darkness, the eyebrows of the others drooped slightly, obscuring an extremely gloomy color.
The fat man's face was just the right amount of doubt, as if it were some kind of unspeakable irony.
It is also because they are not sincere enough that they will not be favored and will not be considered qualified dependents. In this way, they can finally make a sacrifice of their bodies, and this is the only way to save their souls. The fat man said gently, and continued to ask, "What's more...... Tourists, do you want to join the village to ask so many questions about our farming methods? Then I'd love to welcome you to talk about it. β
Xiao Gao took a step back slightly, biting his lip lightly, with a very hesitant expression.
The fat man's warning is nothing more than telling them that the players are just "outsiders".
If you want to point fingers at them, you have to be in the quagmire first.
Even from the player's point of view, they don't have to complain about anyone in this cannibal village, let alone be in danger.
The suit continued to glance at them coldly, and his gaze fell on the villagers who seemed to be curled up in the shadows.
"This illusory standard is a little too dangerous, don't you have any opinion? Maybe one day you'll be the one who will be thrown into the pool as fodderβif you're honest or not, wouldn't he be able to say it with one mouth? β
"Boss." The fat man's expression did not change, his eyes were slightly bent, but from the narrow gap that was squeezed out, a little dangerous light was revealed, "This kind of boring discordant speech, you don't need to say it in front of my eyes, right? My fellow villagers are not going to be provoked like this, and whether they are sincere or not, of course, is not chosen by me, but by the gods. β
The suit didn't look away, but he looked at the villagers' increasingly stiff waists and puppet-like expressions on their faces, knowing that it was useless to attack their hearts, and he seemed to "cut" with disdain and looked away.
"Is that all?" Xiao Gao, who rarely showed his resistance, seemed to be only wavering between meager disgust and strong hesitation, and suddenly spoke, "...... Is that all there is to it? β
She looked at the "mermaid" who had been put down by herself, and her tone was not sure if it was sympathy or something else.
"So you're just animals in captivity, and they've been their property since birth, right? You, you...... Is there anything you want to argue with me? β
Because the intelligence level of the "mermaid" brought by Xiao Gao is not high, so after asking to herself, she turned her gaze to the "mother" who is the silent leader of this group quite firmly, and repeated, do you want any justification, or refutation.
It's a pity, although the "mother" clearly understands what Kodaka's meaning means. But her lips and teeth were tightly closed, and she could barely make any sound. Her body was tense, as if her bones would be broken by such a strong bend.
She lay on Yuan Yuxue's back, and the fingertips that she was trying to stretch out peeked through the back of Yuan Yuxue's shoulders. It's straight, oozing a little bright red color. But apart from the reflex that seemed to be trying to grasp something, it was difficult for her to express even strong resistance.
It's just that she hid on Yuan Yuxue's shoulder, and she carefully revealed one eye.
The pupil seemed to have been moistened with water, and even had a little mist in it, and it looked soft without any lethality. It's just that from under those tears, there is strong resentment and ...... Unwilling.
She was unwilling.
That resentment is not so much for Xiao Gao as for his weak and incompetent self.
And Xiao Gao also seemed to retract his eyes in disappointment.
She said, "I see. β
Xiao Gao walked slowly forward again, narrowing the distance between him and the villagers little by little. In order to show that she was not hostile, she even flatteringly threw away her weapon. With a very clear tangled hesitation, he confirmed with an extremely uneasy look, "As long as we don't continue to destroy and oppose you, you will let us go, right?" By the way, and that extra tourist......"
She mustered up the courage and slowly talked to the fat man, "We shouldn't have to pay his room fee anymore, and we can leave, right?" β
"Nope." For this point, the fat man refused quite mercilessly, "Of course, the room fee cannot be exempted." I'm in a small business. But you're supposed to be smart, aren't youβ"
He said thoughtfully, "I really can't pay for the room, so you just need to hand over the tourist who ate and drank for nothing and let him stay in the village to pay it back, wouldn't it?" Ah, I shouldn't have reminded you of that, but I remember that you didn't have a good relationship with one of the tourists, and it had been a long time since I had seen you dine with him. β
After all, they are teammates who formed a temporary team, and although the previous relationship was not close, it was still close because of the mission.
Although everyone may have some careful thoughts-cough, for example, they prefer to cooperate with a certain teammate-but to say that the relationship is not very good, and what can meet is that Xiao Gao and Ah Dao are not quite right.
However, the fat man's mention of not "going out for dinner" together still has a clear direction.
He was clearly more careful with the players than they thought. Ah Zuo has never appeared, and this thing can't be hidden from the fat man. And what the fat man is referring to is Ah Zao, who is now in a coma.
