Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 403 Waiting
"You're going to take action during the Great Wilderness Divine Festival?"

Chu Tonglu slowed down his action of grabbing the fried food: "The ordinary Wild God Festival is fine, but the Great Wild God Festival in Nari is truly the focus of everyone's attention."

But as he spoke, he suddenly realized that he had said something stupid and shut up.

——We are going to fight to the top of Mount Nari and get that old man directly. There is no point in hiding or covering up.

Instead of thinking about this, it is better to think about what kind of dream you would like to have when you sleep tonight.

"Okay." Chu Tonglu changed the subject: "It's a good opportunity for me to see for myself what this 'Great Wilderness Divine Festival' is all about."

"Ok?"

Song Shi was quite surprised: "Didn't you say that you lived in Lianggang back then? How come you didn't experience the Great Wilderness Divine Festival?"

"My last name is 'Chu', not Kimura, Yamashita, Suzuki or anything like that."

Chu Tonglu said casually: "Many people here discriminate against our family. Hey, plus my father is the first ring [transcendence], and he got the status of 'seventh-class person' with this, so those guys are even more unhappy."

"So I'm too lazy to join in on this kind of crowded event." Chu Tonglu suddenly sneered: "Now, I'm glad that I didn't join in back then."

Song Shi understood what the other party was referring to.

Whether it is the "Wan Shen Festival" held every month or the annual "Da Huang Shen Festival", some forms and contents of the sacrifices have changed more or less over the past fifty years.

Only one thing remains unchanged.

For each sacrifice, thirty pairs of boys and girls under the age of ten who had not lost their virginity were selected and offered to Mount Nali.

——With Song Shi’s knowledge, he had already recognized that this so-called “Wild God Sacrifice” was clearly a spiritual ritual!
Combined with the fact that the old man was severely injured during the Seven Land War, he has been entrenched in Mount Nari for decades and has not come out.
Like the sacrifices to some river gods in ancient times.

Through the spiritual ritual of the "Aragami Festival", those boys and girls under the age of ten who had not lost their virginity and were offered to Mount Nari were transformed into food for the old Shangjiangong to ease his injuries and prolong his life.

"Under ten years old, still a virgin. At this age, the child has not been contaminated by the mundane world, and his mind still retains the purity of a newborn." Song Shi sneered: "Not all psychics can rely on this to prolong their lives."

Just according to the information gathered by Lapis Lazuli.

As Lao Shangjiangong who is at the fourth level [Transcendence], the extraordinary body he created happens to be in the category of those that "can be effective".

“Heh.” Chu Tonglu snorted coldly: “When I was a kid, I really thought those chosen children went to Mount Nali to enjoy a good life.”

Ai Lu said nothing, but just sat up a little straighter.

“Unfortunately, there is no solution to this.”

Lapis didn't touch the fried food, but just extended his robotic arm to dip it into the hot oil in the pan and tasted it.

"With the [Monitoring Network] overlooking the entire territory, there is no possibility for any child in Nari County who meets the criteria to avoid or hide."

The robot said, "Kamima has issued a policy that as long as there is a child who is selected, the village can enjoy tax benefits for a whole year. And the corresponding family will also receive a generous reward."

"——willingly."

Song Shi snapped his fingers. "The offerings to the gods must be more pious and sincere. Under the subtle influence of the Kamima clan over the years, the 'Arakan God Festival' has almost become a serious and glorious event for the people here. If one person is chosen, the whole village will be honored."

City, town, and village are the three levels of administrative divisions in Nari County.

However, Song Shixin thought.

In my previous life, when I had achieved great success and returned to the East Continent with my skills, the old Shangjiangong seemed to have completely disappeared, and the "Arakan God Festival" also quickly declined. But I have not been to Nari County very often, so it is hard to say the specific situation.
Then let’s settle this matter in this life.

"Now that you have achieved the third ring, have you ever thought about returning to the East Land Republic?" Song Shi turned his chopsticks and said, "The fifth-class people are easy, and the fourth-class people are not difficult either. And as long as you are interested, marrying the noble lady of the Shangjian family is not a big deal, it is a direct class jump."

"Then why don't you go?" Chu Tonglu sneered and knocked on the oil pan with a spoon.

"I've been around for so many years, and I've heard a little bit of, huh, gossip."

Chu Tonglu leaned back on the sofa and folded his arms, "It is said that other noble families are also quite dissatisfied with the Shangjian family's behavior and have strong opinions."

".The concept of good and evil?" Ai Lu spoke.

Chu Tonglu glanced at him and laughed, "What a bunch of nonsense about good and evil! He just thinks the Shangjian clan's way of doing things is tasteless and too barbaric! The ritual of human sacrifice has been extinct in the East Continent for many years, but the Shangjian clan dug it out of the garbage dump again!"

"It's not just that." Song Shi explained to the other party with ease: "Ai Lu, the Donglu Republic is not like the Sihuangtian. The competition here is still quite fierce. Of course, it is mainly concentrated in the upper-class families."

"A third-class family is already a powerful family qualified to govern a county."

Song Shi raised his index finger and said, "No matter how small Nari County is, it is still a proper county. The Kamima clan has been entrenched here for a hundred years, suppressing the other families in Nari so much that they can't raise their heads. The few fourth-class families in Nari below them are considered weak among the fourth-class families."

"Under such circumstances, the Kamima clan has not released a new fourth ring in recent years, and old Kamima is barely surviving. The family's strength is declining. The noble families outside of Nari County have long wanted to rush in and replace them, bringing a new life to Nari County."

"This has nothing to do with you and me."

Chu Tonglu opened a can of beer and grinned, "Anyway, when the time comes, whoever comes will be killed, and whoever stands in the way will be killed."

"I have a feeling that if I can survive this trip, my spiritual power will be greatly improved."

When he said this, he didn't look at Song Shi, but looked at Lapis Lazuli.

The latter's camera met his gaze and he nodded slightly.

So Chu Tonglu laughed loudly and raised the beer can to the intelligent machine: "Come on! Let's go for Chaoyue!"

"Don't get involved with Dayuan and Pingheng!"

Song Shi was at ease: "I'm sorry, Dayuan didn't think about making do. Do you understand what level division is?"

Ai Lu, who had been eating silently, put down his chopsticks.

He said calmly: "Balance is the only truth in the world."

The box had already been completely taken over by Lapis Lazuli, and any unnecessary movement would not be leaked.

The Yamagata clan and the Yamagata ghosts would never have imagined that three third-ring psychics were quietly crammed into a private room in a small street restaurant in Ryoka City.

So, after a lively exchange, everyone left the restaurant.

Wait for three days.

——"Great Wilderness God Sacrifice".
