Chapter 424: Poisoning Worsens

Wang Tao told Jiang Shixue about his idea, and Jiang Shixue thought it was feasible. According to what Zhu Fen had said before, although she didn't know the identity of the bishop, the bishop didn't know her identity either!

She was very cautious when meeting the bishop. They hadn't even spoken to each other, and the other party didn't even know whether he was a man or a woman!

Logically speaking, the bishop has a higher status than the priest, and should know the priest's identity, but Zhu Fen is different - she is inside the base, and the bishop is outside the base, and the bishop can't put any constraints on her. She is someone who can get into the committee anyway, so she is still very careful in this regard.

So Wang Tao can completely contact the Twilight Church in Zhu Fen's identity.

But that's a matter for the future. Zhu Fen said that they agreed to meet next time after the ice and snow melt. Judging from the current situation, it will take at least a month to wait for the ice and snow to melt? So there's no rush for the time being...

However, Zhu Fen left a lot of things. Wang Tao is not interested in her property. Wang Tao is interested in things related to the Twilight Church. He can go to receive them in the next two days...

While thinking, Wang Tao returned to the previous building.

But after going upstairs, Wang Tao frowned.

When he left, Qiu Rong and Xia Zhen were tied up with ropes. But now, the ropes on Qiu Rong and Xia Zhen are gone, and they are lying on the ground with their legs spread out, their pupils dilated, and their faces showing a dull smile.

Next to them, there is a middle-aged woman lying, also smiling foolishly.

"..."

Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue looked at each other, and he said uncertainly:

"This woman woke up? Then she untied them, and they drank the medicine?"

"It should be."

Jiang Shixue nodded.

Wang Tao was speechless for a moment.

He didn't expect someone to wake up early after drinking the medicine and untie the ropes for them. This holy medicine is very addictive. The first reaction of the two of them after untying the restraints must be to drink the holy medicine...

But drink it, it won't kill you to drink it once more. It's just that if you want to quit again, you have to waste some time... Fortunately, they didn't run out, otherwise it would be unlucky if they were frozen to death in this icy and snowy weather.

"Wake up!"

Wang Tao patted Qiu Rong's face. Qiu Rong only smiled foolishly at Wang Tao. Even if Wang Tao pinched the soft flesh on her waist, she still had no reaction. Xia Zhen next to her was the same... They were obviously immersed in their own world.

Wang Tao shook his head. It was estimated that they would not wake up for a while.

"Brother, what should we do with these people?"

Jiang Shixue asked, looking at the people on the ground.

Although Jiang Hui said that he would drive over to pick up Wang Tao, Wang Tao felt that it was not appropriate for Jiang Hui to take all these people away.

He had seen that many of these people were the families of some officials in the base. If their identities were exposed, it might bring a lot of turmoil to the base...

Although the turmoil or not, it actually had little impact on Wang Tao. But they were not hopeless. As long as they endured it, they could still quit the drug addiction. If a large number of people were suspended because of them, then the unlucky ones might be ordinary people, after all, many places are still in the snowstorm...

"Jiang Hui probably won't be able to come for a while. Judging from the situation that the old lady has just woken up, it is estimated that the others will wake up soon. Let them go back by themselves after they wake up."

Since they can come, they can naturally go back.

"Yeah."

Jiang Shixue nodded.

So the two waited for a while, and it was almost the same as Wang Tao guessed. Not long after, some people woke up one after another.

Wang Tao directly told them that the priests, deacons and their group were all arrested, and he saved them and asked them to go home now.

They were a little confused when they heard the news. In their perspective, they just drank a bowl of holy medicine. The priests and deacons were gone just after drinking the medicine?

Although they were a little skeptical, there was indeed no one at the scene, and those holy medicines were all taken by Wang Tao... This made them have to believe this fact.

"Then, can we still buy holy medicine?"

Someone asked boldly.

In order to make these people obedient, Wang Tao deliberately revealed some awakened aura. Many of them were ordinary people, and they were obviously a little scared when facing Wang Tao.

"No, go back quickly. Otherwise, when the police come later, you can't leave even if you want to."

Wang Tao said lightly.

After hearing this, everyone dared not hesitate and hurriedly climbed up.

At this time, someone asked:

"Then may I ask who you are..."

Wang Tao was still masked, and they didn't know who Wang Tao was. After thinking about it, Wang Tao said directly:

"... I am the new priest."

Since you plan to pretend to be Zhu Fen, let's start from now.

Hearing that Wang Tao is the new priest, everyone was suddenly a little excited.

They don't care who the priest is or who the deacon is, they only care whether they can drink the holy medicine in the future.

Since there is a new priest, they will definitely be able to continue to drink the holy medicine in the future!

So these people hurriedly saluted Wang Tao, and then went downstairs without saying anything nonsense. They didn't want the police to discover their true identities.

Wang Tao had no expression on his face as he watched these people leave one after another.

He couldn't continue to give these people the holy medicine, but he could help them quit the drug addiction. They had to quit, otherwise it would affect the stability of the base.

Anyway, Wang Tao already knew who they were, so he would contact them directly later.

After all these people left, Wang Tao looked at Qiu Rong and Xia Zhen at the end.

I don’t know how much the two of them drank, but the aunt had already woken up and left, and they were still quiet in their own world.

Zhu Fen said before that you should not drink too much of this medicine at one time. If they drink too much, it may aggravate their condition.

"If it gets worse, you two will be in trouble."

Wang Tao had no way to wake them up. The main reason was that they were just ordinary people after all and were too fragile. If something went wrong, they might be killed.

So Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue continued to wait, and not long after, Jiang Hui came over again.

"Huh? Mr. Wang, those people..."

After Jiang Hui saw that only the knocked-out thugs were left here, he looked at Wang Tao cautiously.

"I asked them to leave."

Wang Tao didn't hide it either.

"That's great!"

When Jiang Hui heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

While he was on the road, he was still thinking about what to do with those people. He didn't know the identities of these people, but judging from the situation of the two mayors, ministers and even committee members, there might be some high-status people among them. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if we met under such circumstances...

It would be a good idea to let them go back, after all, the city hall can no longer afford the trouble.

So Jiang Hui didn't ask any more questions. He asked people to carry the thugs in, and then under Wang Tao's command, he carried the holy medicine into the car.

"I'll give you some of these so-called holy medicines and take them back to you. I'll keep the rest. I want to study what they are."

Wang Tao pointed to several barrels of holy medicine.

"……OK!"

Jiang Hui naturally wanted to take away all these holy medicines. After all, if this stuff entered the society, it would be very harmful. But since Wang Tao wanted it, he certainly couldn't refuse.

After a while, the car finally arrived at the door of the police station.

At this time, Qiu Rong and Xia Zhen had woken up from their own world. Wang Tao raised his eyebrows when he saw the poisoned state on their heads.

Originally, Qiu Rong's poisoning state was "a common toxin with certain addictive properties. Taking it for a long time can lead to death. If you don't take it within 7 days, you can detoxify."

But now it has become "a common toxin with certain addictive properties. Long-term use can cause death and increase certain desires. It can be detoxified if not taken within 15 days."

Not only did she have an additional negative state of "increased desire", but it also lasted from 7 days to 15 days.

Xia Zhen's poisoning state has also changed. She was previously a "common toxin with a certain degree of addiction. Long-term use can lead to an increase in certain desires. The poison can be detoxified if not taken within 30 days."

But now it has become "a common toxin with a certain degree of addiction. Taking it for a long time can lead to an increase in certain desires. It can be detoxified if you don't take it for 60 days."

She did not increase the negative status of "causing death", but 30 days became 60 days!

No wonder Zhu Fen said you shouldn't drink too much of this medicine. This should be the punishment for drinking too much.

Wang Tao was speechless about this. Originally, Qiu Rong could detoxify if she persisted for a few more days, but now she had to persist again, and it was even harder.

Not to mention Xia Zhen, it was directly increased to 60 days. This time was somewhat outrageous. Although her poison will not kill anyone, Wang Tao estimates that it is impossible for her to survive it...

Qiu Rong and Xia Zhen looked at Wang Tao timidly. Wang Tao had clearly told them before that they were not allowed to drink medicine, otherwise the consequences would be serious. But after Wang Tao left, they really couldn't help it. They didn't care so much, and they couldn't control themselves when they found the opportunity... Now when they saw Wang Tao again and felt the cold aura on Wang Tao's body, they all shivered.

"What was your situation at that time?"

Wang Tao asked directly.

The two women didn't dare to hide anything and quickly explained.

Not long after Wang Tao left, the aunt woke up. Before the aunt could understand what was going on, Qiu Rong quickly called her to come over and untie her. The aunt was still a little confused, but she still came to help.

After Qiu Rong and Xia Zhen were untied, Qiu Rong immediately drank a large bowl of holy medicine. Xia Zhen could bear it originally, after all, she had vented before, but seeing so many holy medicines here and Qiu Rong drinking them happily, she couldn't help it anymore and drank a big bowl.

They didn’t remember exactly how many bowls they drank after that, but it was quite a lot, and they drank them mixedly. In other words, they drank the ordinary version of the medicine and the high-end version of the medicine together...

Wang Tao estimated that the reason why their poisoning state became so outrageous was probably related to the fact that they drank a large amount of mixed medicine.

"You two are finished."

Wang Tao spoke directly.

"..."

Hearing this, the two women trembled.

Qiu Rong was already a little afraid of Wang Tao, but now she was even more afraid after being deceived by Wang Tao pretending to be a deacon. Xia Zhen was also very scared, because her true face was revealed, and she knew that this was a fourth-level awakened person!

The situation now is obvious. The Twilight Church has been judged as a cult, and their actions are illegal. Wang Tao said they were finished, didn't that mean they were dead...

So, the two of them immediately knelt down in front of Wang Tao and begged for mercy.

They were obviously mistaken. Wang Tao did not deliberately scare them, but explained:

"I'll tell you again, you drank poison - no matter what you think, it's poison. And because you drank too much, the poisoning has worsened, so you have to pay a greater price than before to detoxify. I said you're done, not that you're dead, but... you may be living a life worse than death."

"..."

The two women were even more scared. They still didn't think they drank poison, but they heard the four words "living a life worse than death" clearly.

Wang Tao didn't argue with them, but just said lightly:

"Remind you, the top leaders of the Twilight Church have all been arrested, and all the holy medicines have been destroyed, so you will never drink the holy medicine again in your life."

"..."

Qiu Rong and Xia Zhen were dumbfounded.

The holy medicine is gone forever? Isn't that the same as asking them to die!

Seeing their desperate expressions, Wang Tao smiled and said:

"But don't worry, I will help you."

This remark immediately rekindled their hope, but this hope was instantly extinguished by Wang Tao's next words.

"I will help you quit drugs. The process may be painful, but the result will definitely be good. Don't thank me."

"..."

Wang Tao ignored the two desperate women. He went upstairs to the police station to bring Li Xin down, and then stuffed the three women into his car, and then stepped on the accelerator to the institute.

As soon as the car stopped, Qu Shilin, wearing a military coat, came out yawning.

After the car entered the institute, Qu Shilin rolled her eyes at Wang Tao and said:

"Wang Tao, why did you wake me up in the middle of the night!"

"Here——"

Wang Tao pointed at the three women in the car, and then briefly explained to Qu Shilin.

Hearing about holy medicine and poisoning, Qu Shilin instantly became energetic.

"Okay! Leave it to me! One more research project!"

She was also very interested in this poison, especially since Wang Tao gave her a large amount of holy medicine, which was enough for her to study.

Qiu Rong and the other two girls felt a chill inexplicably, and they suddenly felt that they might be safer with Wang Tao...

But Wang Tao did not give them a chance to resist, and directly handed them over to Qu Shilin.

After chatting with Qu Shilin for a few more words, Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue took a car and left the institute. However, Wang Tao did not go home, but planned to take advantage of the night to go to Zhu Fen's place.

She has many properties, and none of them are in her name, and they are hidden very well. There are many things she left in these houses, including crystal cores, various strange items, things related to the Church of Twilight, and the most important list of all the church members in the base...

Wang Tao is going to search them. Anyway, Zhu Fen is dead, and no one else knows about these things except him, so they can't be wasted.
