However, even amidst the endless torment of life, one must have a firm and enduring belief.
But is this belief really useful?
He was now leading people to pray to Hades, asking the dead to be released.
However, he also knew that Hades was just his immortal uncle, and apart from psychic power, he did not have the power to control the life and death of the entire underworld as in mythology.
If there truly is an afterlife, where people's final destination is determined by their good and evil deeds in life.
Aaron suddenly felt a growing sense of unease.
What right does he have to decide the fate of human souls after death, or even judge people's good and evil?
But all Aaron could do was try his best to comfort the grieving and terrified crowd, at least for the moment, giving them something to hold onto.
However, people didn't seem that sad, especially the elderly, who were even somewhat numb.
“Eat, gather your food and water together and share them.”
Since things weren't settled with the old man yet, Aaron could only have everyone eat together to buy time.
The children ate quickly, and many of them didn't even realize what their father's departure meant.
Aaron's eyes held a hint of pity, then his gaze froze—
When did Angron infiltrate?
In the corner, at the children's table, Xiao An blended in without any awkwardness, eating and drinking heartily, and even calling the other children his brothers. Before long, he was already acting like a big brother.
"You mean, you've all had dreams where you're being beaten, and something asks you if you want Daddy to disappear?"
Anglong gnawed on a hard piece of bread, his small face revealing a deep gaze as he scrutinized the little kids around him.
He got up and looked for the oldest person around him, asking:
"Grandpa, did you ever have this kind of dream when you were a child?"
He described what he had seen and heard, and finally gained something.
Dad, you're terrible at this. How come you can't even find such simple information? You have to dissect a corpse.
He came over and asked, and then he understood everything.
Chapter 245 The Curse of the Biological Father's Death (3K)
"Brother! Brother! I've found the crucial information!"
Angron, looking chubby and energetic, ran over and jumped into Aaron's arms. He covered his mouth with his hand, leaned close to Aaron's ear, and whispered:
“The brothers and sisters in the village said that they had a dream in which they were being scolded by their fierce father, and then a strange voice came out and said that it could make their father disappear.”
“I went to ask the old men in the village, and they said that they had similar dreams when they were young. Similar things happen in this village every thirty years, but each generation of young people does not believe it.”
"Only when the survivors grow old and see this scene again thirty years later will they remember it."
After blurting out everything, Angron held his head high with pride, waiting to be praised by his brother.
But seeing her brother frowning as if he was thinking about something, she obediently shut her mouth and waited for him to react.
A moment later, I saw my brother let out a long sigh of relief:
"Xiao An, if you dream tonight, answer the voice in your dream. I'm so glad our family has one less useless person."
Aaron solemnly lifted Anglon up, as if to crown him.
"Now, you need to continue blending into the crowd and find out the duration and cycle of those dreams, what the characteristics of the sounds in the dreams are, whether you can see the source of the sounds, and so on."
"Aside from these dreams, are there any other strange occurrences among the locals?"
Anglong, with a serious expression, hopped to the ground and replied:
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
Then, with a hop and a skip, he rejoined the crowd.
Strangely enough, he was indeed a complete stranger, yet he was able to quickly blend into the crowd and even display the same emotions and expressions.
That's probably why people accept him.
Once the old man and Uncle Hades have completed the autopsy, there will be a clear analysis of the cause of death.
Aaron then began to preside over the funeral, burning all the bodies.
The flames inside also had some old-fashioned touches added; a trace of the golden flames was mixed in to ensure they were burned clean.
"The cause of death was suffocation, but no problems were found in the lungs, trachea and throat, inside and out. There were also no signs of strangulation or similar muscle markings on the neck."
Anda pretended to be very knowledgeable.
Hades simply added, "They suffocated, but they weren't strangled or blocked."
Aaron sighed, “Father, you need to learn how to speak like a human being. It’s not like we’re writing a book; we don’t need to be so formal.”
Anda said with a haughty expression, "Doesn't this make me look more professional?"
Hades said seriously, "Aaron, your father is indeed very professional. We started by examining the legs and worked our way up, even turning the corpse's intestines inside out. His requirements were really meticulous, and I think such strict standards are very meaningful."
Aaron simply asked, "Oh, so who turned over the stomach and intestines?"
Hades said confidently, "Naturally it is me. Your father trusts me and has entrusted me with these important tasks."
Aaron nodded: "Uncle, I understand. You go and eat first. They still have a lot left over from lunch. Angron is here too; you can ask him to help you get your food."
After sending his simple-minded uncle away, Aaron looked at his smug old father and sighed:
“Anglong asked the question: every thirty years, local children have a dream in which they are being disciplined by their fathers. I guess the image of the father in the dream is also very distorted.”
"Then a voice will ask if you can help the children make their father disappear."
“Once the deal is done, the child’s father will suffocate. Since it is the work of a demon, it is understandable that we cannot find any signs of tracheal obstruction or strangulation.”
“Father, did you not ask anyone at all yesterday? Even though Anglon could have gotten the information from you, you still had to speculate for a long time.”
Anda touched his nose somewhat awkwardly, and tried to explain:
“You know my problem; if no one reminds me to change my identity when communicating with people, I don’t dare to show my face in front of them. Besides, our work today is also valuable; you see, the villagers’ grief has been alleviated.”
"We have also confirmed that this damage is unrelated to the material world, and we can focus our research on this area."
He immediately began to ponder, looking at the wooden materials around him.
"How long will this curse on the father last?"
Aaron said, "Angron has already asked. The biggest worry is that it's over, and we'll have to wait another thirty years."
Anda shook his head and said, "We won't be that unlucky. Think about it, Aaron, we're all in the same place, and that's where the problem will occur."
"Maybe the bigger one is yet to come."
He finally found a suitable piece of wood and was overjoyed:
"Aaron, go and move this log over here. I'm going to make an amulet for each father."
Aaron frowned and asked, "Will this even work?"
Anda had already prepared the tools and said confidently, "You can trust me. When have I ever made a mistake?"
Aaron carried the wood over, and couldn't help but complain;
"You always make mistakes, it's just that our strength is enough to defeat the enemy, so it seems like nothing has happened."
"If you continue to face future disasters with this mindset, then I understand why the future human empire will turn into that horrible mess. You bear a great responsibility."
Adachi finally spoke up, not avoiding the question, but taking the initiative to say:
"Okay, okay, I know. I'll just be more careful in the future and not force myself into things so easily."
Son, I would change anything for you.
Well, there's no need to rush. I'll definitely do it next time!
He needs a buffer period. There are still 30,000 years left, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
Now that it has been confirmed that there was no physical damage, the villagers can return to their normal lives.
Anda began to personally polish the wood, cut it into small pieces, and carve simple amulets.
Although Aaron found it increasingly strange, he had recently witnessed the corpses dissecting human bodies.
He thought that these amulets seemed perfect for being inserted into a person's trachea.
"Father, this amulet, could it be for internal use only?"
Aaron was a little worried and asked.
The old father looked up, displeased, and said:
"What kind of person do you take me for? Someone who just stuffs things into their mouth."
"It's fine to wear this around your neck. If it's going to work if you put it down your throat, it's better for everyone to open their mouths wide in front of me so I can put my hand in and draw a symbol with my psionic energy or something."
"But I don't want them to spit on my hand."
Anda carved these amulets into the shape of two alternating flat circular rings, signifying an infinite cycle.
At this moment, Angron also returned the crucial information.
He discovered that as long as he widened his eyes, puffed out his cute little face, and held the other person's hand, he could start asking questions.
The target will then act like a pitiful person who has finally found someone to confide in, and will start pouring out their grievances, telling everything that can and cannot be said.
As a result, Xiao An had to use her own brain to summarize the useful information.
“Brother, this dream lasts for about half a month each time, but only one person dies each day.”
Aaron looked at the old man, frowned, and asked:
"Didn't you clearly identify the date of death of the body you disposed of today?"
Even people of this era know that the changes in a corpse can vary depending on the date.
Anda picked his nose and flicked out a piece of booger with his finger:
"I didn't notice, I was too busy showing off to your uncle. Cough cough, I really didn't realize it until you pointed it out, these corpses all look like they just died recently, actually they died a day apart?"
Hades chuckled and said:
