Chapter 117 Pure Lotus Path
With a roar that refused to be outdone.
Wind Chime successfully gained the approval of the Shadow Moon Leopard and was quickly taken away from the camp.
The contract with the forest spirit allowed Yu Ke to completely trust the Shadow Moon Leopard. At least outside the forest, the wind chime was absolutely safe.
The worries were lifted, and Yu Ke no longer had any worries.
The helicopter arrived over the camp and cast a cold white beam of light.
What was illuminated was a man standing alone in front of the ruins with a bow and arrow on his back and a battle ax in his hand, and under his feet was a fainting sick tiger.
After grabbing the rope ladder and boarding the helicopter, Yu Ke saw the fully armed Ansaili, threw the sick tiger aside, and asked in a deep voice,
"Where is the base?"
"In the farm outside the city, they used the feed warehouse as a cover and built a stronghold underground. The patrol team and the special service department are already rushing to the scene. The intelligence personnel are stationed outside the stronghold and will launch operations when we arrive."
Anseli noticed something was wrong with Yu Ke's mood. He recalled the ruins of the camp he had just seen and guessed that the latter was angry because his residence was destroyed, so he said,
"You can rest assured over at the camp. The attack against you is official. The Forestry Protection Bureau and the Disaster Prevention Bureau will soon send an engineering team to build a brand new forest patrol camp without you having to pay a penny."
"I'm not worried about the camp. I just want them to pay the price now. This guy should know a lot of inside information. Is that strange container you mentioned before that can be used for interrogation still there?"
Yu Ke raised his foot and stepped on the sick tiger's shattered knee, grinding it back and forth, stimulating him to wake up from coma with severe pain, and asked.
When he heard that he was about to be interrogated about the strange contained object, sick tiger's already pale face became even more ugly.
"I have contacted the Disaster Prevention Bureau and someone will come with that item. This guy's best days are yet to come."
Glancing at the struggling sick tiger, Anseli tied his long golden hair into a high ponytail and said with a strange expression.
Strange containment objects are not ordinary objects. They have all kinds of strange effects, some of which have extremely strong side effects, and the strange containment object that can be used for interrogation happens to be one of them.
Unless they are extremely vicious criminals or criminals involved in major cases, they are not allowed to be used.
The reason is that the side effects are so severe that they are even inhumane.
"That would be perfect."
Leaning back against the bulkhead of the helicopter, Yu Ke counted the number of special arrows in the quiver, making sure in advance.
The helicopter turned toward the rendezvous point, skimming through the woodland at high speed.
The atmosphere in the cabin was a bit dull. After a brief silence, Anseli took the initiative to mention the information Yu Ke had submitted to the Forestry Protection Bureau not long ago.
"Regarding the special items you provided, the internal research of the Disaster Prevention Bureau has achieved preliminary results. The bloody lotus, some scholars found similar emblems from historical documents hundreds of years ago, and it came from a cult that was very active at that time. Organization, Jinglian Dao!”
"It's indeed a cult. Are there any other clues?"
When it comes to the cult organization that broke into the temple and underground palace and sealed the forest soul, Yu Ke suddenly became energetic.
"Jinglian Dao was active from 1633 to 1895. It was an extremely widespread cult organization. It believed in the 'Holy Lotus Buddha Mother' and believed that there were two competing forces in the world, also called light and dark. Zong.”
Anseli took out his mobile phone and opened the file he had just obtained. After a brief introduction, he simply handed the phone to Yu Ke and said,
"The content is a bit complicated. I originally planned to give it to you after sorting it out. Now you can read it yourself."
The file contains some photographed documents, as well as some annotations compiled by internal scholars of the Disaster Prevention Bureau. The content is a bit complicated. Yu Ke himself is not an expert in this field, so he can only take a brief look at it.
It is not difficult to explain the two schools of light and dark in the teaching narrative of Pure Lotus Way.
Ming is light, which represents goodness and truth, and darkness is darkness, which represents sin and irrationality. Jingrendao believes that these two forces are constantly fighting in the past, present and future.
When Holy Lotus Buddha comes to the world, light will finally defeat darkness. Therefore, Pure Lotus Path divides the entire process of Holy Lotus Buddha from conception to birth to saving the world into three stages.
It is also the so-called "chaos of the world", "great annihilation", and "pure heaven"!
The above are only the core teachings of Pure Lotus Way. In various periods, in order to satisfy the evil desires of the leaders of the sect at that time, they would add various strange and weird annotations to the basic teachings. I will not go into too much detail here.
To put it bluntly, the end of the world is approaching, and believers will sacrifice everything in exchange for entering the Buddhist kingdom and enjoying peace and tranquility in the future.
According to ancient records, Jinglian Dao did show various "immortal methods" in the process of spreading, but it was later generally regarded as a deception. The cult was finally exterminated in 1895 by the person in power at the time, and its power gradually declined. eventually disappears.
"This organization has been wiped out?"
Seeing this part of the content, Yu Ke looked at Ansaili in surprise.
"Yes, according to the literature, Jinglian Dao at that time can be said to have entered the final stage of the cycle of prosperity and decline. Their followers were spread all over the country, but the core members of the organization suddenly disappeared, so that the tribe fell apart and was eventually annihilated by the army sent by the imperial court. "
Ansaili, who had checked the information before, was obviously confused by the sudden collapse of Jingrendao, and shrugged.
"Rise and fall"
Repeating this word, Yu Ke recalled what he saw and heard in the temple and underground palace.
Especially the dragon-headed zombie with a dragon mask, maybe it was one of the core members of the Pure Lotus Sect back then?
It is responsible for guarding the underground palace of the temple, so where will the other core members appear?
At present, the information that the Disaster Prevention Bureau can find is still limited to the content recorded in some official documents. As for the things that the Pure Lotus Sect did in its heyday, there are still related inside stories that are still under investigation.
Judging from the current situation, the direction of the investigation is correct.
Yu Ke believes in the intelligence capabilities of the official government.
While thinking, the helicopter passed the transfer station and approached the target area.
Not long after, An Saili received intelligence from the front line. The first patrol group arrived at the scene and sent a drone to monitor the feed warehouse where the base was located, and at the same time scout whether there are other entrances and exits nearby.
As the leader of the third patrol group, An Saili quickly received the on-site images sent back by the drone, so he got up with a handheld computer and sat next to Yu Ke to adjust the angle of the picture.
The feed warehouse in the drone camera is in good condition, and there is an open grazing area around it. Because the rain is getting heavier, the livestock have been driven back to their respective pens, which can be regarded as helping the Disaster Prevention Bureau to clear the area in advance.
As the helicopter began to approach the target location, the sound of each team taking their positions came from the channel one after another.
This operation is a joint operation of the Forestry Defense Bureau and the Disaster Prevention Bureau. A large number of elite soldiers have been assembled, vowing to take down this stronghold.
"Confirm that there are no civilians around the target area. The operation will officially begin in one minute. All units should pay attention to blocking the road to ensure that no member escapes."
Such an encirclement and suppression operation is about racing against time. Yu Ke's temporary joining does not mean that the action plan formulated by the Disaster Prevention Bureau will be changed because of his arrival.
Besides, Yu Ke and Ansai Li will arrive at the target location in about five minutes. At that time, they can directly take the helicopter to the battlefield. Otherwise, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, they will have to land in the outer area in advance and walk.
That will only waste more time meaninglessly.
Yu Ke had no objection to this. He was not interested in competing with the patrol team and the special service department for credit. He came here specifically to ensure the success of the operation, prevent escape, and completely wipe out this base. He also personally escorted the sick tiger for interrogation.
The raid entered the countdown.
The drone that was originally hovering on the periphery began to move forward, and the camera was always locked on the warehouse.
Yu Ke and An Saili put their heads together, focusing their eyes on the several rockets that were shot on the screen.
Considering that the base was hidden under the warehouse, it was very likely that personnel would be arranged in the warehouse on the surface and various trigger traps would be set up. The Disaster Prevention Bureau did not intend to give them any chance to seize the initiative.
Dragging a narrow tail flame, the rocket rushed into the warehouse and caused a violent explosion, directly blasting the front outer wall to pieces. Then three armed helicopters approached rapidly, and the high-power searchlights mounted on both sides projected strong light. The strong wind pressure caused by the propeller blew away the smoke and dust, and the deterrent voice was broadcast in a loop, so that the members hidden in the base immediately gave up resistance.
At the same time, the patrol team and the special service department, two core armed forces from the Forestry Bureau and the Disaster Prevention Bureau, began to advance on the ground, and with the help of infantry fighting vehicles and drones, they surrounded the warehouse from all directions.
According to the intelligence obtained by the Disaster Prevention Bureau during the interrogation, this base is the most important research room inside, and a lot of resources have been invested. It must be conducting a very critical experiment, which may be the secret they are trying every means to cover up.
"Attention, all units, the entrance to the base is at the left rear of the warehouse, especially pay attention to the other party's suicide attack"
"Report, the entrance and exit of the base are opening, and someone is emerging from it. No, they are not human!"
"Humanoid unidentified creatures are found! Three, five. A group of monsters are pouring out of the base, open fire!"
The front-line personnel reported continuously in the action channel, and the battle broke out immediately.
Through the pictures taken by the drone, Yu Ke soon saw a large number of ragged humanoid monsters appearing in the smoke and dust that had not yet dissipated. Their bodies were obviously deformed, either limbs or torsos.
They looked a bit like the distorted beasts infected by Pandora that we had seen in the depths of the Mirror Lake Forest not long ago.
These monsters swarmed out from the entrances and exits of the stronghold, like hungry beasts that had been imprisoned for a long time, and they charged at the patrol team and the special service department that surrounded them as soon as they were released from the cage.
As expected, they were hit hard.
The fully armed elite special forces team, equipped with infantry fighting vehicles, quickly shot and killed these monsters. Only a small number of them rushed into the siege team and were quickly eliminated by the extraordinary people who came with the team.
The situation seemed one-sided, but Yu Ke, who was watching the whole battle, couldn't help but frown.
The reason was simple. This operation was a surprise attack and encirclement, and the goal was to uncover as much internal information as possible. For this reason, the Disaster Prevention Bureau immediately took action after learning the location of the stronghold through interrogation.
Under normal circumstances, how could so many monsters rush out as soon as the entrance and exit of the stronghold were opened?
More importantly, after the drone zoomed in on the scene, Yu Ke could clearly see that although the clothes on some of the monsters were tattered, the remaining parts could still be seen as the kind of protective clothing and white coats commonly worn by researchers.
It couldn't be that an accident occurred during the research, causing everyone in the base to turn into monsters and block the entrance and exit, right?
