The Edge of Pure Land

Chapter 52: Exceeding the Target

Lu Fuji was very happy at first, because he thought he had helped the little girl find her family, and maybe he could help her win some rights and let her return to her real home.

But now it seems that her family does not welcome her.

I have heard of stray cats and dogs finding ways to travel dozens of kilometers back to their original homes after being abandoned. But this is a world after drastic changes, and it is difficult for adults to survive alone. A helpless little girl can actually escape outside the city, cross the wasteland, and return to her hometown.

How incredible.

How stubborn this is and how much hardship it requires.

Although Lu Sixian had not known him for a few days, she was willing to build a tent for him, wash clothes and cook for him, help keep secrets, bandage his wounds, and teach him a lot of extraordinary knowledge.

Their team's survival to this day depends on that painting.

Otherwise, they may not be able to break out of the siege of the White Walkers.

Moreover, this girl is also cute and silent. She looks like a rag doll.

What's wrong, why is she a witch?

If witches bring misfortune to people, how come Shika Fuji is fine?

On the contrary, after meeting the little girl, his luck has been good.

He suddenly had the urge to kill the old woman in front of him with one shot.

But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it, it was not necessary.

These primitive people have no education and are so pedantic that they stink.

I can't explain it rationally.

Even if he died, he didn't know how he died.

Useless.

What's more, these primitive people are still useful. At least the frequency that can affect hardening needs to be spit out.

For such feudal elders, one can only raise the little girl well, and then spit in front of them, curse a few words, and then leave.

Of course, Lu Fuji can’t wait until later.

"I think, don't blame the witch for everything. After all, she has been gone for a long time, right? If your tribe has been having bad luck, you should reflect on whether your god doesn't like fools." Lu Bu Er shrugged, his tone was quite harsh.

No one expected Lu Fuji to say such a thing.

Yuan Qing didn't hold back at first and burst into laughter.

I almost lost my grip on the bow and arrow.

None of the comrades thought it was funny, but they felt their thighs were itchy and had to be pinched hard.

Only Kashiwagi really didn't smile.

Because he felt that one day he would be the one being scolded like this.

The remnants of the Rebirth Ministry were stunned for a moment before they realized what they were doing, and they became furious.

However, facing Yuan Qing's flames, they could only grit their teeth and give in.

Gu Tao looked unkind and said coldly: "Do you still have any questions?"

"Last one, why are they chasing you today?"

Lu Fuji asked calmly.

When Gu Tao thought of this, his eyes showed annoyance, and he said bitterly: "Because the scourge disappeared, maybe she died on the way to escape. The people of the Corpse Food Cult thought that we had taken her in, so they sent her out again and again. People came to attack us and wanted us to hand her over."

After Lu Fuji finished asking, he turned around and nodded slightly.

Yuan Qing hummed: "Everyone obeys the order."

The officers and soldiers suddenly became serious and murderous.

"Get it for me."

Yuan Qing said calmly: "No one is allowed to run away!"

The expressions of the survivors of the Ministry of Purity changed drastically.

Especially Gu Ta, who said angrily: "You have betrayed your trust!"

"Otherwise, you will be killed by the Corpse Food Cult?"

Lu Buer turned his head and glanced at her: "I think I only said that if you answer the questions honestly, I won't kill you. But I didn't say I won't arrest you, right? You know so many secrets, about that An ancient god, I have to make you spit it out."

"Oh, by the way, I won't be the one to judge you next time."

He shrugged: "That guy is much more ruthless than me."

The people of the Purana Tribe were all filled with indignation. Only Gucha felt that today's cities are much safer than the wilderness. This young man can be considered a good person, except for being a bit sarcastic...

Linhai City, Sacrifice Hall.

The high priest, who symbolized holiness, sat at the head of the table, looking down indifferently at the quarreling crowd below, as if the hustle and bustle of the world had nothing to do with her, and it was just a group of monkeys playing in front of her.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing, it's annoying!"

Archbishop Reiner was the first to jump in: "I admit that the failure of the city-burning cannon is our responsibility! But the problem is, who knows that the wave of white ghosts has mutated? Moreover, there are no evolvers without attributes, it is me Is this the problem? Is it the responsibility of the Noah organization? That’s obviously your responsibility. Your system can’t find such a newcomer, so don’t blame me!”

Qi Xingzhong, who recently received a new apprentice, has also become tougher.

It's like I have my disciple in my hand, and I have the world.

Even if the high priest calls him to account, he is no longer afraid.

Deputy Director-General Mo and his secretary were the first to speak and concluded the defeat: "In short, this is what happened. It is obvious that Director-General Yuan Lie made mistakes in controlling the battlefield and had obvious errors in his prediction of the battle situation. , which can be summed up as being dull and ineffective in doing things. Of course, considering the age of the former director, it is very normal for him to be unable to do his job. "

He paused: "I'd be happy to help share the burden."

Yuan Lie slammed the table angrily, and the old secretary stepped forward as a substitute.

"You fart!"

The old man said with a foul mouth: "Don't fucking think we don't know, is this the responsibility of the external battlefield? There are heretics inside the city! Dark matter has been implanted in their bodies, and they have almost mutated into white walkers. Do you dare to say that this matter has nothing to do with the external battlefield? To me, this wave of white walkers is clearly a man-made disaster from the inside out!"

He passed the buck.

This puts the main responsibility on the Abnormal Supervision and Management Bureau and the Law Enforcement Bureau.

The high priest's cold eyes fell on the two people sitting at the end of the long table.

Director Charles said with a cold face: "Some time ago, the Law Enforcement Bureau received a tip-off and went to the underground block to handle the case. However, the Abnormal Supervision and Management Bureau acted beyond its authority and privately arrested more than a dozen corpse-eating believers. I don't know if it has ulterior motives, or if it wants to cover up something."

Longque was prepared: "Sorry, I found it out."

Snap, a snap of fingers.

The priests of the sacrificial hall came in with a stretcher.

A foul smell came to the face, which made people vomit directly.

The high priest showed a stern look, took a deep look at the white-haired young man, then raised his hand and waved it gently, and a strange fragrance spread out, covering up the stench of the corpse.

Everyone could see that this was purely to disgust people.

As the white cloth on the corpse was opened, the dismembered body was exposed to everyone.

An old priest read out the report: "According to the interrogation and analysis of the Abnormal Supervision and Management Bureau, these corpse-eating cultists have implanted dark matter into their bodies, which has caused a certain degree of mutation. Their original identities were all citizens of this city, working in different positions, but in the end they were unable to maintain their previous lives due to illness."

"According to the interrogation results of Mr. Longque, this group of people have been preached by an organization and have an extreme fear of rotten meat, the smell of disinfectant, and a stress response to scalpels. Especially when facing drugs, they will have extreme emotions."

The old priest continued: "Therefore, it is inferred that the corpse-eating cult has infiltrated Linhai City, using health and longevity or money to buy people to conduct human experiments. They have a complete supply chain, a huge organizational system, and very advanced equipment. They will use various methods to package themselves and move in the shadows."

Everyone was shocked.

If this is really the case, then this so-called corpse-eating cult has become a trend.

No one questioned this conclusion.

In Linhai City, and even the entire Supreme Federation.

You can dislike Longque.

You can oppose him everywhere.

You can even try to kill him.

But you'd better not question his conclusion.

This is the experience summed up by countless dead people in Linhai City.

Bloody lesson.

In view of the above report, so many clues can be analyzed just through a group of crazy heretics. Such people are really terrible.

"The so-called corpse eaters were the same as us before they became corrupted like this. They were once normal humans or one of the evolvers. Those people would not turn themselves into this if they were not forced to do so."

The indifferent voice of the high priest echoed in the hall: "I think we should reflect on whether there are some unfair phenomena in the order of the Federation and the Church, which led them to fall into darkness. The last vicious attack by the military has proved that darkness is growing."

She paused: "I will give you a week to find out the truth."

Her voice was no longer ethereal and distant, but became fierce and domineering.

It was as if another personality had awakened from her body, showing an extremely strong side.

Everyone changed their faces.

If the high priest could speak, then this matter was indeed extraordinary.

Because this is not the boss giving you a task.

It is simply describing what you must do.

It is also what must happen next.

If things don't go as the high priest wishes.

Then she will do everything she can to forcefully interfere.

The consequences at that time may be very bad.

For example, the superiors require that there should be no sick pigs in a pigpen.

If the pig farmer can't cure the pig's disease, then the superiors will forcefully interfere.

She may not be able to cure the sick pigs, but she can make your pigpen free of pigs.

If there are no pigs in the pigpen, there will naturally be no sick pigs.

It's that simple.

After all, the high priest is one of the five people who hold supreme power in the Holy Church.

The coronation of the sacred monarch requires their approval.

They predict the occurrence of disasters, resist the erosion of the ancient gods, help the people in the new world dispel the plague, and ensure a bumper harvest in various places every year. When the war is unfavorable, they have to consume a huge amount of energy to assist the battlefield. They are already close to the existence of gods.

Lianhua is the most famous of the five high priests, because she has the deepest attainments in the field of divine arts, and she is a pioneer who has existed for more than two centuries.

She was just an ordinary little nun back then, and could only be responsible for curing illnesses and saving lives on the battlefield, but after witnessing the era of the three holy monarchs, she washed away all the dross and achieved her own success.

After the Supreme Federation and the Akasha Holy Church completely conquered the world, Lianhua was conferred as the Holy High Priest and became the guardian of the future of mankind until today.

Now her way of existence has completely departed from the scope of humans.

Closer to gods.

But a person's true self comes from her most brilliant years.

Many people know that no matter how indifferent the high priestess appears, she must still be the pioneer in her bones. Even if she is not good at fighting, her heart is as hard as iron.

This can be seen from one point.

In every city responsible for guarding the high-risk life restricted area, the high priest and the speaker are co-governed.

One is in charge of the extraordinary, and the other is in charge of the secular.

But in the meeting of Linhai City, the speaker has never been present.

Because the high priest is so strong and iron-fisted.

Everyone feels pressured. If this matter is not resolved, they will have to bear the wrath of the high priest.

At this time, a senior officer of the military department pushed open the door of the palace.

The senior officials are already accustomed to this.

If it is not an emergency, the subordinates will not come to disturb the meeting.

And emergencies are not new in the new world.

"Report, news from the White Walker hunting team."

The officer put his hand on his chest and said in a deep voice: "The mission is completed in excess!"

The senior officials looked at each other.

Especially Longque, who showed an expression of surprise.

"Yes, we have exceeded the task. The origin and purpose of the Corpse Eater Cult have been basically found out. The team brought back living samples of the White Walkers and the survivors of the Rebirth Department as evidence."

The officer took out a special pen and pressed a button on it.

The pen projected a video.

It was the conversation between Lu Buer and the survivors of the Rebirth Department in the Land of Rebirth.

"The team has lost its means of transportation and requests support from the Sacrifice Hall."

The officer said seriously.

The high priest's eyes fell on the boy in the projection, and her eyes condensed slightly.

She vaguely remembered.

This is the child that Longque asked her to save.

Today's 15,000 words are over, see you tomorrow!
