Chapter 1040: The Orders of the Taoyuan Island People?
Gochai had shown me the special medicine that was specially designed to deal with the beasts before he set out, and it seemed that it had come in handy now.
The snow leopard was obviously affected by the effect of this drug, and was dragged to the ground like a corpse by Gochai, if it weren't for the slight tremor of its tail, I am afraid that it really thought it was dead.
Gechai is very smart, he already understands that this snow leopard is an important companion of these masked people, and this is using it to blackmail the masked people in order to save me and Liu Yong.
Sure enough, when the people saw that the snow leopard was seriously injured, they all cast angry glances at Gochai, and at the same time, they also took out their weapons again.
I hurriedly told everyone to stop, and at the same time told Gochai to bring the snow leopard over and let me check on the injury.
It's still the old rule, if you want people to recognize me, you have to give them a little sweetness, and now this snow leopard is undoubtedly my best stepping stone.
"Don't worry! this leopard isn't dead yet!" I exclaimed, "We are not from those wanderers on the other side of the forest, we have taken refuge here from the long journey from South China Province!"
"Then why are you with him?" said the masked man who spoke to me first.
The other two companions next to him immediately stopped: "Don't worry about it now!
Well......
The name of this snow leopard is much better than that of the sentry.
Gochai glanced at me, and after getting my confirmation, he lifted Binghua in front of me.
The masked men wanted to come up to check, but I stopped them first, because I noticed that the ice flower seemed to be very weak now, and if they moved it at will, I was afraid that it would aggravate the injury, and once the ice flower died, it would be even more difficult for me to make peace with these masked people.
"You medicated it?" I asked, frowning.
Gechai nodded a little confused: "Yes...... How do you know them?"
I shook my head slightly: "I don't know, but they are not wanderers, but they are enemies of them, we have to fight for them! What can I do to save it?"
The corners of Gechai's mouth grinned and said: "You underestimate me too much, how can I give it a dead hand when the situation is unclear, don't worry, this snow leopard was only temporarily paralyzed by my motor nerves, and now the convulsions on the outside are just an illusion, or it won't be long before it recovers on its own." ”
I secretly gave Gochai a thumbs up, it seems that he is quite reliable, and it is no wonder that so many Burmese people follow him.
"But you'd better pretend to be a curator so you can win the trust of these people!" said Gochai.
I nodded, and asked him to step aside to take care of Liu Yong first, and then I pretended to stroke back and forth on the ice flower for a while, during which I even deliberately forced out a trace of cold air, the purpose was to let them further see my identity and understand that the special aura on my body did exist.
After pretending to be a ghost for more than ten minutes, I saw the ice flower's body suddenly shake, and then I turned over and jumped.
The moment he got up, he still looked fierce at me, looking like he was going to bite my throat, but he was called back by a whistle from one of the masked men, and then the Burmese people hugged Binghua's body one after another, it seems that these people have a really different relationship with this snow leopard.
"You're really a member of SBC," the masked men quickly ran up to me and said with a look of extreme joy, "Did SBC ask you to deliver the message to us?"
I shook my head truthfully and said, "I have only one side relationship with the new gods, but you can rest assured, since we are all people who have been blessed by the new gods, then I am on the united front with you, and you must tell me now how many of your companions are here, and what is the purpose of hiding here?"
Although the masked men were happy, their vigilance was not completely lost, and they continued to ask me the question just now, why they were with Liu Yong.
Anyway, Liu Yong is not sober now, so I directly said that Liu Yong was just my prisoner, and brought him here completely to prevent him from escaping, and Liu Yong is also a very critical link in solving this catastrophe.
In fact, my last sentence did not indicate my position, that is, I only emphasized that Liu Yong's survival was related to the key to solving the catastrophe, but I did not say whether I specifically supported the solution of the catastrophe or let the spiritual energy brought by the Gu worm virus continue to spread.
My purpose is to test the tendencies of these people and see if they are inclined to destroy the world or re-establish order.
The results did not disappoint me, and when these masked men heard about Liu Yong's key role, they all showed surprised expressions, and asked me again and again whether these things were true or false.
I told them that of course it was true, but it would take a lot of research and planning to implement it, because the final solution was still on Langli Island in Myanmar, and before that we could do that we could do it enough to get to Langli Island.
Then I simply told me some of my own situation, of course I only gave a general account of the people I am now uniting with, but did not reveal the exact location of the camp.
When these masked men saw that I had said this, and I let them feel the chill on their bodies, they trusted me completely.
Well......
It was not so much that they were persuaded by my words, but that it was still the "new god", that is, the role of the nameless little girl that convinced them.
Having said that, I had seen the Holy Maiden being "crowned" by the new god in a lucid dream before, and the thin black shadow that appeared in the lucid dream now looked like the size of a little girl.
So the question is, since the person who the people of Taoyuan Island worship is that nameless little girl, why do they want to do such a terrible thing to her?
But in any case, I can now be sure that these masked people must be related to the people of Taoyuan Island, and later facts have proved it.
After I confessed some of it, the masked men also gave some of their own backstories.
First of all, there are their numbers, the number of these masked people is not much, and the total number of people inside and outside the entire Holy Maiden Peak is only thirty, and they have also lost more than a dozen in the open and secret battles with the wanderers before, and now there are only nearly twenty people.
This number is actually not much different from the number I expected, because from Xiao Yi's words before, it can be heard that there are definitely not too many people hidden in this Holy Maiden Peak, and I am afraid that it is precisely because of this that the Wanderer Headquarters has not drawn out a large army to concentrate on extermination.
The second is their identity, I had guessed that they were likely to be semi-infected, and my instincts proved to be correct, they were indeed part of the many semi-infected people who migrated with the wanderers three months ago, shortly after they first entered Dongkou Province, but later due to the severe abuse and oppression of the semi-infected, some of them had the idea of fleeing.
It was also at this time that the people of Taoyuan Island appeared in Dongkou Province and rescued these people, and instilled some magical energy in them, so that these semi-infected people had a strong physique that ordinary people did not have. Of course, this so-called "strong" is still weak in my eyes, but it is still very easy to deal with ordinary people, such as wanderers who are killed by them in the dead woods.
The appearance of the Taoyuan Island people at that time was just a small group of scattered actions, and their rescue was actually a coincidence, because in fact, the number of semi-infected people who wanted to escape at that time was extremely large, and they were just lucky to be rescued by the people of Taoyuan Island, and more semi-infected people were caught after escaping and were treated more tragically.
After their group of semi-infected people who were rescued by the Taoyuan Island people were instilled with energy, their physique changed now, and their faces began to appear in a stiff state on the original basis, as if they were ...... It's as if someone has been coated with a layer of solidified paint.
As he spoke, the masked men took off the masks on their faces.
Now I can see that the faces of these guys are infinitely close to what they look like masks.
Mask Man!
Although it is still a little different from the masked people I know, it is not obvious anymore, and if the appearance of these people evolves over time, they will definitely eventually become exactly the same as those masked people, which can also be inferred from their own words, because the masked people all say that their face shape is still changing over time, and all this change is based on the energy that has been instilled.
That is......
Algidity.
Next, I believed and asked how these breaths were transmitted into their bodies, and the answer I got was actually very brief, according to them, after escaping from the control of the wanderers, they were already hungry and cold, and they were on the verge of death, and it was those Taoyuan Island people who brought them to the soft and comfortable metal sphere, and after about a day or two of rest and recovery, they became what they are now, and their physique has also improved at the same time.
"Isn't that the ...... Black, spherical contraption with a grid?" I asked, frowning.
Several masked men nodded.
Grandma's, what they are talking about is nothing else, it is a special device that imprisoned Qianqian before and the nameless little girl later, that is, the "new god".
From what I know about those Taoyuan Island people, although they saved this part of the semi-infected people, it was definitely not for a good purpose, and even if they really continued their lives, it was definitely for a purpose.
And this was the last key question that the masked men had for me, and that was what they were doing in the dead woods around the Virgin Peak.
This still has to start with the people of Taoyuan Island who saved them, originally they were instilled with energy, but they were asked by the people of Taoyuan Island to stay in Dongkou Province as their internal response to attack Dongkou Province in the future, and the way to notify them is a kind of spiritual connection similar to lucid dreams, after their repeated descriptions, I realized that this "means of communication" is actually the kind of illusions similar to lucid dreams that I saw when I was cold before, such as the illusions of "Moon Spirit" and "Nameless Little Girl" that I saw before.
The last order they received was a week ago, and the apparition that appeared was the one who had saved them from the Wanderer's pursuit, and after a physical description, I realized that I hadn't seen this guy before.
Their goal is to disturb the loiterers' morale by causing as much damage and assault as possible in the inner areas controlled by the loiterers.
Then I thought about the possibility that there must be more than this group of semi-infected people who were rescued in this way, and that there must be many more small groups of semi-infected people planted behind the entire wanderer.
But......
The time when they launched the disturbance now was actually when the voodoo sect was attacking in a big way, didn't that mean that the voodoo sect and those Taoyuan Island people were basically the same thing?
But the people of Taoyuan Island hate psionic energy very much, how can they be mixed with the initiator of the Gu worm virus like Voodoo?
I asked them more questions, such as whether they had received material assistance or other support from the people of Taoyuan Island, and the answers they received were completely negative.
This shows how much they trust the people of Taoyuan Island who "saved" them.
Then I bluntly told me that the people who attacked Dongkou Province at this stage were not the people on the island, but the voodoo religion, but I didn't expect them to still have no suspicions, saying that the only way out for them now is to follow the guidance of the information to cooperate, otherwise everyone will never be able to get rid of the shadow of the wanderer.
I also heard some clues from these conversations, when they were rescued, they were obviously brainwashed by the spirit of the people of Taoyuan Island, which made these guys believe in their words so much, but fortunately, I now have a natural "new god" identity, in a sense, I have a natural "affinity" with these people, and the brainwashing of the people of Taoyuan Island has helped me to a certain extent.
It occurred to me that I thought, why don't I just use my status as a "new god" to make them loyal to me? That way, at least for a short time, I can unite with a new group of allies.
I immediately told them that the situation was more complicated now, because the voodoo people were now involved, so we had to adapt to the situation, because it was possible that the "spiritual connection" with them had been severed, and new orders could not be given, and they would have to be wiped out by the wanderers sooner or later.
I said this to the hearts of the masked men, and they began to ask me what to do, and I told them that they could leave the place with me and go back to our own camp to re-plan.
