Chapter 726: screening
Although the traversers shouted in good faith - at first it was Loma alone, then Reading and Gerald next to him, and in the end almost everyone shouted in unison, but despite such a sincere retention, Nor was it possible to leave the "falling cloud" behind.
Seeing that the thick dark cloud continued to rise, and after reaching a certain height, it changed from thick to light, and then disappeared quickly, the travelers couldn't help but sigh.
Such a big boss came to the door, was beaten, and then left.
Compared with the situation of "can't beat" or "didn't hit", this kind of "unkilled" situation is the most annoying.
BOSS is not a cabbage on the side of the road, it is not easy to meet one. Even if the number of bosses in this world is relatively large, they are actually limited - a big toad similar to "Poison Water Water". Although it is big, it has no strength, and it is not a decent boss at all.
But "Falling Cloud" is definitely a high-level BOSS, big in size, thick in blood, able to fly, and very good in hard power. And it was hidden here in Raccoon Town for many years, secretly controlling the town and the last human settlement. From this point of view, the "status of the rivers and lakes" is also very unusual.
Travelers can use their years of experience to bet that if this guy is killed, something good will come out!
Unfortunately, it was not killed.
"Maybe we've got it pretty close," Loma said. "Maybe it's the last blow..."
"Seeing that it can run so neatly, I think it must be more than just a knife." Panda shook his head, "At least it will take a few minutes."
Loma sighed deeply and added, "Maybe I shouldn't call 'daoist friend'. If I call 'senior', the effect will be different."
"You have to change your name to Su Dabing first." Don Quixote, the summoner next to him said, "Shen Gongbao called Daoyou, Su Huanzhen called senior, those are all special tricks. Just out of breath."
Loma pouted and said nothing.
Panda patted him on the shoulder, then walked back to Alfion: "What now?"
"I will analyze its possible hiding place based on the ritual as soon as possible, or analyze the forced summoning incantation." Alphin's face is still expressionless, and the effect of the potion keeps her completely rational." But the most important thing right now is to appease the residents of Raccoon Town."
"Place a ghost! Hack them to death!" Loma heard her words and said loudly, "One of these cultists should be killed!"
"They're not cultists," Panda advised. "They just passively accepted sacrifices."
"How can someone who can accept this kind of sacrifice not be a cult?" Luo Ma asked fiercely, brows upside down.
Panda hesitated, wanting to say something, but had nothing to say.
Loma is right. Those who can accept the sacrifice of living people, even if they only participate passively, are still cultists.
"Cultists also have different degrees, and you can't kill them all with one stick." Heyin said, "We should start screening to determine who is worth saving and who is hopeless. If it is worth saving, we will try to save; if there is no cure, be killed.”
"What else do cultists need to identify! How easy it is to kill them all!"
"There are only so many people left in this world. Of course it's easy to kill them all, but what should I do after killing them all?" Panda asked back.
Loma said nonchalantly: "After killing all of them, of course, let's find a few more bosses to kill them, and then everyone commits suicide and returns to the city. There isn't even a decent town in this ghost place, who wants to stay here longer!"
It can be seen that he has really thought about this issue carefully. It's just that the answer he thought about made people a little speechless.
Panda sighed and said, "We came here to develop, and it's too early to give up now."
"If you want me to say, really, give up!" Luo Ma ran to Xingzhao and persuaded, "Give up early and go home. You can also find another space node for research, maybe there is such a delay, A whole new world will open up again.”
"The new world is not necessarily easy to open up." Alfin said.
"Even if it's not easy to develop, it's better than here!" Loma said.
Then they argued over the issue for a while, but in the end none of them were able to convince the other.
Since Xingzhao and Alfion could not be persuaded, the development plan must not be given up, and must continue.
That night, many travelers could not sleep. They split up and took the residents of Raccoon Town one by one into the polygraph circle for questioning to determine their attitude towards human sacrifice.
In the end, they found more than a dozen real cultists among the residents of the town. These people either got a lot of benefits from sacrifice, or they were bewitched a lot by the village chief, or they were once deeply polluted in the wild and distorted their minds. In short, they all sacrificed living people. Seeing it as a good thing, without feeling cruel or evil in the slightest.
Of course, these people were executed, and even the most sincere traversers didn't want to waste time and energy trying to save them.
In addition to these dozen people, there are about 30 people who deeply regret the failure of this sacrifice and feel that it is necessary to hold the sacrifice again. Although they also know that it is not good to sacrifice a living person, they believe that sacrifices are necessary to survive. As long as they can get benefits, sacrifice of a living person is acceptable.
These people were temporarily imprisoned, and after Alphin rested, a special ceremony would be designed for them to correct their mental state and restore them to normal.
As for the remaining residents, their attitude towards the sacrifice of living people is full of fear and helplessness. Regarding the behavior of the transmigrators destroying the sacrifice and driving away the "falling cloud", they did not mean to hate or oppose it except for worry. In the words of the old militia captain who is familiar with the travelers: "We sacrificed in the past because we had no choice and no choice. Now you can give us a better choice, who is willing to send his relatives and children to be sacrifice!"
This result is generally satisfactory. If you really can't find a few people who oppose sacrifice, then the traversers may really just leave as Loma suggested, ignoring the world on this side.
Now they are sure that most of the people in this world - although there are really not many - still maintain the normal way of thinking and are still worthy of saving and helping, then they have a reason to stay and continue to struggle. Fan.
Even if they still fail in the end, there is always a result, and it can be regarded as "no regrets"!
