Chapter 422 Types of Holy Medicine (Happy New Year to Everyone!)
Wang Tao suddenly thought of Shang Qin whom he had met in the underground garage. [ ]
"I wonder what role he plays in this Twilight Church..."
Shang Qin gave Wang Tao a pretty good impression, but his strength was very weak, only the second-level strength, and he was probably a deacon at most...
If there is a chance in the future, Wang Tao plans to go to the underground garage again.
Zhu Fen didn't know if there were any other priests besides herself. There was probably no priest in the base, but there should be some outside. As for how many bishops there were, she didn't know.
The meaning of their chest badges was the same as Wang Tao's guess. The diamond-shaped ones were deacons, the square-shaped ones were priests, and the round ones were bishops. Among them, the black badge was elementary, the silver was intermediate, and the gold was advanced.
Zhu Fen is now a senior priest. If she moves up one level, she will be a bishop. She is working hard to become a bishop now. Of course, in the current situation, it would be good if she could save her life. She didn't dare to think about being a bishop.
Wang Tao was very curious. She was a committee member and one of the 23 highest-ranking people in the Changhe base. Why did she become a member of the Twilight Church? If she founded the church, it would be reasonable, but not only was she not the founder, she was not even the bishop, and there were people who were above her...
Faced with this question, Zhu Fen said that joining the Twilight Church would allow her to live longer, reborn, become stronger, and even live forever!
This answer left Wang Tao speechless. Obviously, Zhu Fen was also brainwashed. The thing that could brainwash her was the so-called holy medicine!
Wang Tao learned from Zhu Fen that there were two versions of the holy medicine. One was the ordinary version and the other was the advanced version.
The church leaders drank the advanced version, while the believers drank the ordinary version.
The difference between the advanced version and the ordinary version was that there were some extra things in the advanced version. Zhu Fen didn't know what they were. Because she didn't know how to make these holy medicines, and she didn't know the raw materials. She bought them from the bishop outside before.
What surprised Wang Tao was that Zhu Fen didn't know that the holy medicine was poisonous - to be more precise, Zhu Fen didn't know that the holy medicine would kill people, she only knew that the holy medicine would be addictive. In her eyes, this holy medicine is similar to smoking, at most it is more addictive than smoking, and it is far from the level of drugs.
The reason why she thinks so is not only because she has been brainwashed, but more importantly, the advanced version of the holy medicine she drank is different from the ordinary holy medicine.
Wang Tao saw that when Zhu Fen and the others came, they were not poisoned. After they drank a bowl of holy medicine, they became poisoned. However, compared with the poisoning of other people, theirs was much lighter.
[Poisoning: Ordinary toxins with a certain degree of addiction. Long-term use can increase certain desires. Not taking it within 3 days can detoxify]
Just like the poison in Zhu Fen, her poisoning state also increases certain desires, which is similar to Xia Zhen. But Xia Zhen's poison needs to be detoxified after 30 days of not taking it. And Zhu Fen can be detoxified after not taking it for 3 days.
This time is reduced by 10 times at once!
For example, Zhu Fen's third-level bodyguard, the poison he was poisoned with was lethal, but the time to quit was also reduced a lot.
[Poisoning: Common toxins with a certain degree of addiction, long-term use can lead to death. If you don't take it within 12 hours, you can detoxify.]
This time is even shorter, only 12 hours, which means that you can quit if you hold it in for half a day. Compared with the seven days in Qiu Rong's case, the time required for quitting is reduced by more than ten times.
This should be the effect of the thing added to the advanced version of the holy medicine.
From Xia Zhen, Qiu Rong and others, the time for the "holy medicine addiction" to attack starts about two to three days after taking it. So for this 12-hour detoxification, you can't wait for the attack at all, and you can detoxify yourself.
Even for Zhu Fen, who needs three days to detoxify, she just needs to hold it in for a while and it will pass.
And they don't drink it often. The bishop said that the advanced version of the holy medicine can be taken once every three to five days, and the ordinary version can be taken once every one or two days. They have always followed this instruction.
So they don't think this medicine is poisonous. They think it is similar to cigarettes.
Of course, they think this effect is much better than cigarettes. The physical pleasure is secondary. The main thing is that they think it can make them reborn.
As for what this so-called rebirth is, Zhu Fen said that the bishop she met had been reborn-the bishop would not be attacked by zombies!
She saw with her own eyes that the bishop was in the zombies as if he was in a no-man's land. The zombies did not attack him at all!
In this end of the world, one of the biggest threats to humans is the endless zombies. They don't think humans have a chance of winning, after all, there are too many zombies!
But if zombies don't attack humans and can live in peace, then isn't this equivalent to rebirth!
So they are unwavering in their belief in the role of this holy medicine.
And the bishop said that not being attacked by zombies is only one aspect of the rebirth of the holy medicine, and there are many other benefits...
Seeing the fanaticism in Zhu Fen's eyes, she really thinks this holy medicine is very powerful.
Wang Tao's face is a little strange.
Will not be attacked by zombies?
Jiang Shixue will not be attacked by zombies either!
She has a special physique. She was almost like a zombie before. The zombies would not attack her at all and would treat her as the same kind. Now Jiang Shixue's physique has returned, but the zombie aura may still remain. Anyway, as long as she doesn't get too close to the zombies and doesn't attack them intentionally, the zombies won't attack her.
In addition to Jiang Shixue, Wang Tao also has a concealment potion in his hand, which will not be attacked by zombies.
So, this is considered "rebirth"?
Wang Tao was speechless, but he had no intention of explaining to Zhu Fen.
He thought about it carefully and felt that the damage caused to the body by poisoning the holy medicine should be permanent, even if it was detoxified.
Wang Tao saw those who were poisoned by pesticides before the end of the world. Even if they finally saved their lives, they might still suffer from illnesses. Not to mention the damage those drugs cause to the body, which is even more terrifying and basically irreversible.
If these poisons are really permanent, then this advanced version of the holy medicine is not necessarily better than the ordinary version...
After all, the ordinary version of the holy medicine is more difficult to quit, but the poisoning is also more obvious and can be prevented in advance.
For example, Qiu Rong and others, after meeting Wang Tao, Wang Tao will definitely help them detoxify. Even if it was not Wang Tao but someone else who saw it, anyone with a normal mind would be able to tell that there was something wrong with her body.
But for people like Zhu Fen, because the time required to quit is relatively short, and they drink once every three to five days, they are usually like normal people and are not in a state of intoxication. Most people cannot tell that they are poisoned.
And they are very enthusiastic about this holy medicine. Even if they physically quit, they still want to drink it, and they have become mentally dependent on it.
Then a situation may arise - they may look normal, but suddenly die suddenly one day! There are no signs at all, and there is no way to prevent it.
So Wang Tao feels that the ordinary version of the holy medicine may be better, at least he can see it and prevent it...
Of course, from the perspective of quitting, the advanced version is definitely better. You can quit if you insist on it for at most three days. But those who drink high-end drugs are the backbone of the Twilight Church, and they don’t think there is anything wrong with this drug. Some people who drink ordinary drugs may not be completely brainwashed. They want to quit, but it takes too long and they can’t quit at all. Lose……
Wang Tao felt that this should be the purpose of the bishop - the poisoning of the backbone should not be too obvious, otherwise it would be easy to be discovered. So they take the premium version. It doesn't matter to ordinary believers. They don't know the identities of the key members anyway, so it doesn't matter even if they are exposed.
Although Zhu Fen didn't know that this medicine could kill people, she also knew that it was addictive and might have some side effects. If this addictive thing was discovered, everyone would definitely shout and beat her up, so she didn't dare to make it public. She planned to develop slowly, striving to bring the holy medicine from behind the scenes to the stage, but unfortunately she was discovered by Wang Tao...
Wang Tao continued to interrogate Zhu Fen and asked her what the side effects were after taking this holy medicine. That is, which aspect of desire she has enhanced.
But Zhu Fen couldn't answer, because the enhancement of desire was subtle. Zhu Fen didn't feel that her desire had been enhanced at all. She felt that she was normal.
There was no way, Wang Tao could only ask from other angles, and Zhu Fen cooperated. Although she couldn't answer what her desires were, she told him all she knew when Wang Tao asked.
Then Wang Tao discovered that her desire was the same as Xia Zhen's, and she also had the same desire.
But she is much better than Xia Zhen. Xia Zhen is treated as a personal property and cannot resist...
But Zhu Fen is different. She has a large number of holy medicines in her hands, and they are not restricted by others. She said that she kept more than ten able-bodied male slaves in her own home...
She even had unclear relationships with some male subordinates...
Wang Tao can only say that he knows how to play.
In addition to Zhu Fen's poisoning state that increases desire, the other third-level official's poisoning state also increases desire.
However, after Wang Tao asked Jiang Shixue to inquire, he discovered that what increased in him was not the desire for male and female affairs, but the desire for power.
No wonder he deliberately trained Xia Zhen but didn't do anything to Xia Zhen. It turned out to be another desire.
This made Wang Tao frown.
If it were all about the desire for things between men and women, it would actually be okay, but this kind of desire for power is very troublesome...
For example, these two deputy mayors, one of them has an increased desire for "eating", and the other has an increased desire for "power"!
They wanted to kill Yao Guodong, and it was the deputy mayor who had an increased desire for power. This kind of person was a time bomb for the base.
Fortunately, Zhu Fen is caught now, and other church members can be arrested through Zhu Fen. As a priest, Zhu Fen knew the identities of everyone under her, and she had a list in her hand.
Then Wang Tao asked about Xia Zhen again. Since the deacon had no thoughts about Xia Zhen, why did he treat her like that?
Zhu Fen answered Wang Tao's doubts - this was her instruction.
Not only Xia Zhen, but also some other women, especially the female family members of some officials, were secretly seduced by them to drink the holy medicine, so they all obeyed Zhu Fen's orders!
For example, the reason why Qiu Rong and Li Xin were able to drink the holy medicine was because Zhu Fen was behind the scenes.
Zhu Fen only likes strong men. Naturally, she has no interest in these women. They are just her tools.
At certain critical moments, these women will be of great use, such as the assassination of Yao Guodong.
And it's not just that. She specially trained these women, preferably to make them playful sluts, and then used these women to bribe those committee members!
The Changhe Base is controlled by 23 committee members, of which only 3 are women, and the rest are men. If she can take down those men, wouldn't it be equivalent to taking down the entire Changhe Base?
So she specially prepared these women, wanting to play a role at a critical moment. Maybe some people will pull up their pants and not recognize people, but she is not afraid. She not only uses women to seduce, but also finds ways to let these women give them holy medicine!
If these committee members drink the holy medicine, they will all be controlled by her! She can control the entire base!
Her idea is very bold, but with the existence of the holy medicine, it is also very feasible.
It's a pity that she met Wang Tao-no, even without Wang Tao, she might have some trouble. It was because of the assassination of Yao Guodong that the committee members of the legion felt that strength was the foundation, and some even wanted to abdicate.
If it was a third-level committee member, she could still control him with holy medicine, but if a fourth-level awakener took over, she knew she would definitely not be able to control him - he could kill her with a slap, how could she coerce and bribe him?
So Zhu Fen came here in person this time, actually thinking about developing more believers and seeing if she could promote a few more believers to do things for her. As a result, she met Wang Tao and was wiped out by Wang Tao...
...
Wang Tao compared the information he got from Zhu Fen with that from others. They definitely didn't know as much as Zhu Fen, but what they said was similar to what Zhu Fen said. This meant that they didn't lie, which made Wang Tao very satisfied and saved him from wasting his breath.
"Look, I have satisfied your curiosity, can you let me go?"
Zhu Fen said cautiously immediately.
She hadn't taken off her mask yet, and she hadn't revealed her identity, so she felt that if she could leave, she would not only survive, but she might also continue to be a committee member.
As a result, the mask full of cracks on her face suddenly broke, revealing her true face.
"..."
"It seems that you are unlucky."
