Chapter 325 Vodoloa

As soon as this post was posted, countless users commented.

Apprehensive_Sun_217: Yeah, I just saw that news headline, my God - "Yggdrasill", isn't that the full name of the forum?

zResurge: It must be a coincidence, right?

XRey360: The World Tree ranger’s active time overlaps with that of the administrator here. “He” disappeared a while ago, and he has only recently reorganized the community’s bad behavior.

willing404: Since 2037, our administrators have often disappeared for a period of time, and then suddenly been banned for a period of time. The specific pattern is unknown.

ExternalRip6651: No pattern is also a pattern.

Zealousideal: I wish he would be online intensively every day. It would be so annoying to have a bunch of "newbies" attracted by the increasingly frequent strange events everywhere.

Hasten117: After permanently banning trolls and fun people, my homepage finally regained its familiar mysterious atmosphere. Long live the administrator! My youth is back!

Not long ago, Lin An completely completed the renovation of the forum.

In the process of reading the posts, he sorted out the situation in various places except Nanzhou.

Countries with well-preserved civilization have basically stabilized the situation. Official explanations for the mysterious people are different, but 60% of people know that "supernatural phenomena" are occurring around the world, but they are not sure about their causes or characteristics. What.

As a occult forum, World Tree users use some publicly available materials and information to deduce from clues that each "supernatural phenomenon" seems to correspond to some kind of urban ghost story, myth, legend or folklore story.

Some users also mentioned that people around them deny the existence of "paranormal phenomena" and believe that the government is covering up something.

For example, the mainstream view is that a meteorite hit the northern part of Eagle Country, and terrible disasters such as tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes erupted, releasing viruses and bacteria frozen in the center of the earth. The spread of microorganisms caused various strange phenomena.

A secondary view is that some secret biochemical experiment was leaked and that the occult was just a fig leaf used by scientists to cover up their mistakes.

Various places are busy dealing with more and more frequent mysterious awakenings. International organizations have been disbanded tacitly. Everyone is doing their own thing without interfering with each other, and even a strict "firewall" has been built for the internal LAN.

It is difficult for an ordinary person to find the report of "Comes". If he types "occultism", "supernatural", and "weird events" on Gujie or a search engine, all that will pop up are the same as "Comes". An old story that is irrelevant.

David O'Connor is a living example of the "information cocoon". He would not believe the existence of the mysterious person unless he saw it with his own eyes.

Sliding the mouse, Lin An flipped to the poster's second comment.

Logia-2035: *cough cough* Some conspiracy theories. The Yggdrasil Forum is the same organization as the Yggdrasil that engages in massacre and dictatorship in Southern Continent. Take a vote.

Ylurpn: Downvote. Regardless of anything else, the founder of the forum is a highly educated programmer. This kind of person's political strategy and military courage are limited to the stars. In reality, he may be a kind-hearted fat nerd.

Vindicatorhelix: I don’t think so either. The administrator should be a mysterious person sitting in the "Minority Report" office, watching the data flow every day, with a contemptuous smile on his lips. How could he go to Nanzhou to watch the hippopotamus baring its teeth?

willing404: Yes, the barbarism and backwardness of Nanzhou are completely different from the style of our high-end forums.

willing404: Anyway, I can’t imagine my dear administrator squatting in the endless prairie, looking at the mobile phone while chewing breadfruit, or sitting on the back of an elephant, holding a computer to modify the code.

WhyCommentQueasy: Yggdrasill is derived from the Old Norse word "World Tree", and it is not original to this forum. It is not surprising that it has the same name.

justthefox99: But it appeared in Nanzhou! How could people from Nanzhou know the myth of Beixizhou!

Melody: Taking a step back, what if—these two are really the same organization? The forum we have been using is the work of a terrorist, who steals key information through our posts, thus threatening our personal safety!

Heviaaaa: Thank you for the invitation. Just after getting off the plane, no one here has access to the information that interests the founder of this forum.

Very good. Forum users all feel that the two World Trees are organizations that cannot be beaten.

This makes the rhythm smoother.

Lin An logged into his account and edited a reply.

Ranger_12: I read the report carefully. Why didn't anyone mention "that"? Isn’t this a more interesting point than boring politics?

ETA: Riddler, please move slowly.

Ranger_12: Didn’t you find it? While that Kumasi was speaking, the photo captured a very strange man [picture] looking carefully at his face.

EveryAsk3855: What?

Pristine-Mastodon: I used AI to repair the high-definition picture. [The picture] has a black pattern, which is claimed by the great god who studies the mysticism of South China.

Zealousideal_Bag: When I was traveling near the Caribbean, I saw psychics with similar tattoos, a bit like... voodoo?

Acceptable8123: Damn, that’s scary! Isn’t that president cursed by a voodoo doll?

CaptainPrower: Never touch the bad side of voodoo!

d-Ayit: I know the meaning of this pattern, but I need to clarify some cognitive biases first. Voodoo has given people images involving satanic rituals, rituals, occult deaths, witchcraft, bloody sacrifices, and cannibalism, but these are all false descriptions.

d-Ayiti: These are often invented by writers in pursuit of a flashy mystique, or are gimmicks created by tourist commercialism, such as voodoo dolls in gift shops—they have absolutely nothing to do with real voodoo.

d-Ayit: Like werewolves, vampires, and burning witches, the carrier of the "doll" is a Western superstition. It is true that voodoo rituals also have ritual props, but in the formal practice, if the priest uses too many props, it will be considered a sacrilegious and stupid practice.

d-Ayiti: We use "loa diab" to refer to those voodoo priests who have just learned a little bit and use all kinds of dramatic props to fool customers. It means "bad soul".

Airline_354: The World Tree Forum really has all kinds of talents.

oboe_player: Lord Priest, what does this pattern represent?

d-Ayiti: Please remember that the basic characteristics of all religions are as follows: healing diseases, satisfying people's spiritual needs, and giving people hope for survival.

d-Ayiti: Voodoo is no exception. It has a semi-standardized system. Voodoo temples have male priests hougan and female priests mambo, assistants hounsi and their congregations, and each temple serves certain clearly designated gods.

d-Ayiti: There are important gods and minor gods among them. The name of the god is "loas", and the number of the gods has not been determined. There are good gods and bad gods, and they can be divided into binary according to the ritual: "Lada" Loa is gentle, and "Petro" Loa is rough and mean.

d-Ayiti: One of the most poetic features of Voodoo is also its animism. It attributes the spirit or soul to the natural sun, earth, moon, trees.

fanica23: Similar to Druidry or Shamanism.

pollytou00: Rather than barbaric, a better description is "primitive".

d-Ayiti: Yes, before the leaves can be used as medicine, you must ask for their permission; before farmers cut down a tree, they have to hit the tree three times with the back of an ax to notify the spirit of the tree and perform the "Rada" ceremony and "Petro" "Rituals can achieve different material results respectively.

d-Ayiti: This is what I want to say. The black pattern in the picture belongs to "Petro" Loa, indicating that this priest worships a god who pursues shortcuts and uses any means. Their believers may pray for something that goes against the laws of nature. thing.

oboe_player: Thanks to the priest for clarifying the doubts.

beann6666: After reading the news, I thought Yggdrasil was an evil organization. I didn’t expect that the people who exposed them were half-hearted, maybe even worse.

old sun: I think the details in the news reports are very conflicting. For example, World Tree clearly respects the will of the people and holds elections, but it imprisons the opposition? ? ? Is not this contradictory.

old sun: So this is a lie that Karpinder made up to cover up that he comes from the voodoo sect that worships bad Loa.

Fax machine: Maybe the whole news is the result of the Five Poison Sect’s practices! Everyone be alert!

PoliteIndecency: It’s so scary that I’m going to share it with my friends.

Although that picture was the result of Lin An spending five minutes in Photoshop, the moment he posted the reply, he chanted the words of the goddess with the lantern - [emotional wave].

"Beep Beep Beep."

Accompanied by the retro arcade music of the last century, a pair of invisible pixel hands stretched out from the screen, slowly reaching into the eyes of all users who saw this message. Electronic light flashed, and electronic ghosts flashed out of their pupils. without.

They are irresistibly attracted to the argument before them, without any doubt of its veracity.

The arguments against Yggdrasil disappeared, and everyone rushed to spread the news that Carpenter was a lackey of the Voodoo Cult.

Just when Lin An was about to quit, a discordant comment came into view.

CreazionediAdamo: It is obvious that this photo is a fallacy created by human hands and can only deceive the ignorant lambs of time...forget it, their lives are suitable for confusion.

wavthsshit: Huh? What do you mean?

Lin An narrowed his eyes and clicked the mouse.

[This user has been permanently banned]: Mortals do not understand the eternal songs they overhear.

"Dang-dang-dang."

In the white and gorgeous holy city, the distant and solemn bells come from the sky.

The man sitting on the golden salute lowered his thick eyelashes, and his purple eyes reflected a line of trembling fonts.

"You have been permanently removed from the World Tree Forum :)"

He raised his gaze and saw that the giant arc-shaped dome painting extended all the way, and the slightly cracked oil painting outlined the divinity and humanism of the Renaissance hundreds of years ago.

The light touch of "The Creation of Adam" is like heaven.

"The administrator actually blocked my account." The man murmured, "I have registered an account for 20 years..."

The sound of footsteps came, and the crimson robe was like a stream of flowing blood, leaving a trace of penance behind the hurried bishop.

"His Majesty the Pope, [Heidu] has sent an invitation letter."

"Adelia Hughes, and the blasphemer who calls himself [Servant of God] Metalonte..." The man clasped his hands behind his back without looking back, "Tell them that I will attend the auction of [Theia] Yes, it depends on whether they dare to reserve a seat."

"I obey. May your will be done on earth as it is in heaven."

…………

The next day, Lin An received an email from David, in which he apologized for yesterday's rudeness.

Lin An quickly replied and included a line of questions at the end.

"David, have you been able to sail a boat lately?"

"Since you asked the World Pentecostal Holy Grace Organization to help place the ballot boxes, I will definitely stay at the Kinshasa port for a while." David replied, "What? Do you charge a parking fee? The Tshisekedi government charged it before I have 100,000.”

"I'd like to borrow your ship."

"Oh, just don't let it become the Titanic." David readily agreed, "How many sailors should I leave for you?"

"No, I have prepared a group of experienced crew members." Lin An hit the enter key, "They once worked on the death ferry on the Kuba River."

"Mr. Forester, does Mr. O'Connor agree?"

Reporter Edward Roberts sat across from him. Even though Bantu was not cool all year round, the Lion Countryman insisted on wearing a soft woolen hat, holding down his short, slightly curly hair that looked like roasted chestnuts.

"David asked us to hand over at Kinshasa Port on the 12th." Lin An glanced at the text of the email, "Are you ready, Edward?"

"To borrow a phrase from Snape - always." Edward showed a shy smile, "Ever since I got the evidence of pollution sources discharged by the Red Poppy Chamber of Commerce, I have rehearsed the scenario of making it public countless times in my mind."

As early as Mbambuka, the reporter used the Internet to try to publish his reports in public forums.

Unfortunately, when the number of views was less than 1,000, this report was suddenly blocked and removed from the entire network, and can no longer be seen.

If you search for keywords such as "Red Poppy Chamber of Commerce, environment", all that will pop up are the environmental protection work of the Chamber of Commerce in Xizhou, as well as speeches and photos when attending the International Animal Protection Conference, and you can't even find much of the Chamber of Commerce's activities in Nanzhou. .

So Edward had to settle down and wait for a better time.

This time, the Red Poppy Chamber of Commerce sponsored Kapender Kumasi to give a public speech and criticize World Tree and the forest rangers. This is obviously a golden opportunity.

According to the official website, not only senior officials, celebrities and judges from various countries in South Asia will attend, but the Chamber of Commerce has also invited a large number of mainstream media from the Latin-speaking world, including Oceania newspapers that they have no dealings with, and Lion Country media that are suspected of being independent from Xizhou. .

If Edward can reveal the past of the Red Poppy Chamber of Commerce at this conference, the "charity ambassador image" they have worked hard to maintain will be in vain.

No one likes a hypocrite who says one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes.

Lin An understood that if the evidence possessed by Edward was exposed, the integration level of the "Lamp Lady" of the Red Poppy Chamber of Commerce would plummet like a bankrupt stock price.

The only problem was how to infiltrate the lecture in La Connaught.

"As long as I stand on the podium," Edward said, "I can reveal their ugliness!"

"I trust you."

Lin An folded his hands, and the [Emotional Radio Wave] spread across the Internet like a virus. Everyone who read the [Brossel Times] was diverted by it.

While it ferments silently, his degree of fusion no longer fluctuates, and the state approaches stability.

"It's time to go to Ivory Coast."
