Chapter 1184 The pure spirit chases the evil spirit
After witnessing this scene, everyone on the Dashun delegation frowned, but no one moved.
Because they could see that although those who were bitten made terrible screams, they did not struggle or resist, as if they were doing it voluntarily.
Someone asked, "Mr. Ash, is this the party?"
Ash whispered, "Yes, this is a banquet, or more precisely, a sacrifice."
Su Wei frowned and asked, "Does the sacrifice here only involve human sacrifice?"
Ash said, "Yes, but you don't have to worry too much about those people. Most of those sacrificed were death row prisoners, who were bought from the government. Of course, there were also some volunteers..."
"voluntary?"
"Yes, they are fanatics who believe that they can become one with primitive desires, and some others..."
Ash's voice deepened a little, "They are willing to use their bodies to exchange for money for their families to survive.
The original sect is actually very popular among some people in the slums. They can enjoy all kinds of pleasures during their lifetime, and enjoy the stimulation of various drugs and entertainment implants. When they are seriously ill or incurable, they can sell themselves and get money from the sect, and they can sell them for a good price. "
Some people can't help but ask: "Being able to sell yourself for a good price? Is this something to be praised?"
Ah He sighed, "This is the Federation, you have to get used to it. Besides, the original sect is fair and can ensure that relatives can get the full amount of money. Because of this, the capital can reduce a lot of public security incidents every year."
Chen Chuan ignored the people below. At this moment, he could feel waves of field ripples around him. This was indeed a sectarian sacrifice.
If you look down from above at this moment, you can see a huge face appearing under the lake, and all the ships on this river are suspended above it.
A ceremony?
This is not a simple ritual. It does not seem to be for the purpose of gaining something from flesh and blood, but seems to be for the purpose of arousing fear, disgust, fanaticism, pain and other emotions in people's hearts.
Moreover, he saw through his third eye between his eyebrows that the people on the yacht were surrounded by wisps of light, which flowed down to the bottom of the lake.
These lights did not come from themselves, but were stimulated by the interaction between the ritual venue and their moods and strong emotions.
At the same time, he also noticed that the light generated by the people on his ship was particularly abundant. It seemed that the stronger the person, or the higher the status, the brighter the light they generated.
Even outside of him, there was such light and fire, and even though his emotions did not fluctuate much, perhaps because he was the person with the highest status present, those lights were the brightest.
His eyes were calm as he asked Ash, "Mr. Ash, do ceremonies like this happen often?"
Ash thought for a moment and said, "Although the ceremony doesn't happen frequently, it happens at least once a month. There is no fixed time. A situation like today...may only happen once every few years."
Chen Chuan nodded. This further confirmed his guess. They had encountered a ceremony that only occurred once every few years. How could it be such a coincidence?
He was roughly certain that the other party had performed this ceremony because of the arrival of him and his guards. The reason was obvious, which was to gain some benefit from them or him.
However, he did not want to be used so easily, especially if the other party succeeded in gaining benefits by doing this today, then he would dare to go a step further.
And the other party didn't seem to be afraid of being discovered by him. Was it because this was within the federal capital and they were sure that he wouldn't dare to do anything excessive?
He looked down again, and the face became clearer and clearer. It was obvious that it was not a simple human face, but a face that combined the features of some monster and human.
There is no doubt that the ritual materials were placed under the lake, or even more than that, most likely all over the river. The silver coin Ash threw down was probably used to convey information through the ritual.
Although he was not familiar with this ritual, he knew that no matter what the ritual was, if he wanted to complete it, he would definitely need ritual materials. If these materials did not exist, then nothing could be completed.
So……
He stood there without moving, but the field on his body was radiating outwards, and at this moment, deep in the mud and sand under the water, there was solid biological material like tendons and bones spread out in veins and woven into a giant net.
If you zoom in and look from a high angle, you can see that these networks form the face of a creature, and everything including nerves and blood vessels are clearly visible.
Although the material used for the blood vessels was special and seemed to be able to isolate the outside field, it was the contact and collision between the two that allowed him to determine the location of these things, so he covered them with his spiritual power.
Ordinary spiritual power could not penetrate these protections at all, but his spirit penetrated easily, and those materials disappeared at an extremely alarming speed.
The huge face under the lake seemed to be rotting, collapsing bit by bit, breaking into pieces, and becoming riddled with holes. The light flashing on their bodies also shook and disappeared. There was a sudden commotion on the covered bridge, as if they had discovered something strange.
Chen Chuan looked up and saw a man looking at him. This should be a person with innate spiritual power. Judging from the complex patterns on his clothes and mask, this was a person who communicated in rituals and sacrifices. As soon as their eyes met, the man looked up and fell down.
There was a sudden chaos above the covered bridge, and these people were unable to escape. It was as if a switch was pressed and they lost all their strength in an instant, and fell down one after another.
As for the monsters in the lake, they floated up from the water one by one and lay motionless on the water surface.
The team members were already accustomed to such situations. However, the passengers on the yachts nearby didn't know what had just happened. They were just terrified and started their boats and left.
Ash looked at Chen Chuan and Gui Zihan, who was leaning there with his sword in his arms and hadn't said anything. He was tactful enough not to ask anything.
He looked at the floating blood and body parts on the lake, then looked at the ruins of the old church in the distance. He made a spiral cross on his chest and muttered a few words.
Chen Chuan took a look, retracted his gaze, and said, "Mr. Ash, today's journey ends here, let's go back."
"Yes, Mr. Chen." Ash took off his hat and bowed. This time his salute seemed more sincere than before.
Chen Chuan thought about it. He had conflicts with the original sect. It was hard to say whether the other party came to him this time because of the influence of the last incident.
Whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, since the other party provoked him first, he certainly could not just sit there and do nothing. He had to find a way to fight back. When he returned, he could ask the secret department to check the specific situation of this sect in the capital, and then decide what to do.
Around twelve o'clock in the evening, he returned to the Chiyan base.
After coming back, he asked the radio operator to send a message to the secret department, and then went back to his room. This time he entered the room and saw Chao Ming looking up at him from the arranged nest and chirping at him.
He was slightly surprised, then smiled.
Chao Ming has been half asleep and half awake ever since he ate khaki fruit last time. Now it seems that he is finally fully awake. His body is bigger than before, and the length from head to tail is at least close to two meters. His feathers are gorgeous and shiny.
He walked up and touched Chaoming's soft feathers. These days without Chaoming's help, although he could do some things on his own, he always felt that something was missing. Now that he woke up, he suddenly felt a little happier.
He noticed that the band on Chaoming's head seemed to be stretched tight, and it seemed that Chaoming was growing too fast, so it looked small. After thinking about it, he took it off and prepared to ask the technicians here to modify it first, or order a new one.
After all, although they can communicate mentally, some shooting and identification functions are still needed.
After checking Chaoming and finding that there was nothing wrong with him, he prepared some water and food for him and walked towards the practice room.
For the next few days, he did not go out, but practiced in the base.
At the same time, the Feishen-ryu Dojo attacked everywhere and challenged other fighting gyms to compete in martial arts.
After the Migas Fighting Gym retreated, their main opponent became the Infantry Fighting Gym.
This is a fighting gym founded by a group of retired veterans. They promote highly practical military fighting techniques.
They also have strong connections and are very influential in the federal army. A large number of retired soldiers have also flocked to this gym to make a living, making it not only a fighting gym, but also a mercenary group.
Most people in the gym had experienced the baptism of the battlefield, and there were many skilled players among them with extremely strong fighting power. But even so, facing the Feishenliu Dojo with a sharp increase in fighting power, they lost more than they won, which made the reputation of the Feishenliu Fighting Gym recover.
But just one day later, groups of people began to gather in front of the Feishenliu Dojo to protest and demand that Dashun return the dojo to the Federation. This incident quickly attracted the attention of many media outlets and was published in newspapers, and it seemed to be getting more and more intense.
There has been no reaction from the federal government because the incident has not become a big deal so far.
Captain Xie has been following this matter. He knows that the federal government is not trying to take advantage of anything, but the matter is simply not big enough. In this case, he feels that he needs to take the initiative.
