Zongman, can you be immortal with me for the rest of your life?

"What are you talking about? How can you report that villagers will become ill after a certain period of time after leaving the Queen's infected state? It's just a hypothesis! And it's a wishful thinking hypothesis with an extremely low probability!

If you report like this, the investors will definitely think the truth might be exposed and launch the final operation! This is completely inhumane! I won't allow you to report! Xiao Qimu, come back. If all else fails, we will disclose our research to the villagers and scientifically educate them about the truth of the village, so that..."

Irie didn't finish his words because Kokoroki behind him was pointing a gun at his head.

"what?"

Tomitake on the other side also panicked and raised his hands nervously.

"Takano...you..."

Then Takano waved his hand, and Kokono stepped back and opened the sliding door of the office where they were meeting. Immediately, several men in uniform came in and pushed Tomitake and Irie to the ground.

Tomitake looked at his girlfriend in disbelief. What Takano had said to the villagers at that time was not completely wrong, because the two of them were really dating, and it was also for this reason that he had always been very lax in the financial audit of their projects.

Takano took a few steps forward, took out his pantyhose-wrapped feet from his high heels, and stuffed them directly into Tomitake's mouth.

"Didn't you say you would support my dream? Now is the time when my dream is about to come true."

Irie next to him was still struggling violently.

"You are crazy! These are 2000 lives! You can't..."

"Just shut up! Weren't you very happy with the live experiments that the dam supervisor did back then? What? Can't you handle the large number? Or do you really treat that Hojo Satoko as your own daughter?"

"You forced me to do that, and by then he had already reached Level 5 and couldn't possibly survive! This is different!"

Irie, who was being held down, roared angrily.

"It's the same. No matter how hard I pushed you, you wouldn't have agreed if you didn't want to. It was you who thought, since this one person is beyond saving, then we should find a way to develop a potion that can save more people.

I am just doing the same thing as you, to fulfill my wish for 2000 people, why not? "

As he said this, he had Tomitake and Irie dragged away.

Before being dragged away, Irie looked outside the clinic and prayed in his heart.

I hope the villagers will not act on impulse. If the final battle is to be carried out, substantial evidence is needed. If Lihua's disappearance is not enough, at least there must be a video of the villagers really going crazy, or a video of Lihua's corpse.

Now, if Lihua is okay, as long as the villagers can stay calm and drag this period out, when someone discovers that he and Tomitake are missing, there will be a chance for things to turn around...

But this was only a glimmer of hope, because Rujiang, who had lived in this village for several years, was very familiar with the unity of these villagers.

Because people who left Hinamizawa in ancient times would fall ill, they were often bullied by outsiders. This led to the feudal patriarchy and extreme internal unity in Hinamizawa. These villagers, who were far away from the emperor, would definitely attack the clinic by force, and now they are just waiting for one person's nod.

……

And now the person who nodded is calling all the villagers to come to the shrine for a meeting.

Because He Zhen led the way and He Shiji reported the location, Kerry and his companions narrowly avoided the searches of the villagers who were more familiar with the local terrain and moved to the location of the original dam site.

After receiving the call from the Sonozaki family, the villagers who had gained nothing all gathered back to the village.

"Unforgivable!"

In a wheelchair, the current head of the Sonozaki family, Sonozaki Aryo, was shouting angrily.

Beside her was the green-haired Sonozaki Mion with a sullen face, and the crying Hojo Satoko who had just learned that her little sister who lived with her was missing. Sonozaki Mion looked at Kazuma and Kirito with suspicion.

"It's all because of you despicable outsiders! You've only been here for a day and you've already brought disaster!"

After venting her dissatisfaction, Sonozaki Aryo, also nicknamed the ghost woman, also cursed at Kazuma and the others.

But at this time, Kazuma looked calm and fearless.

"Master Sonozaki, right? I used to have some respect for you, but it's been ten minutes and you've done nothing but blame us! I know you must have some grievances against us, but now is not the time for infighting! We should have rescued Lady Rika sooner!"

The surrounding villagers looked at Kazuma in surprise again.

No, since when did scolding you become an internal conflict? Wasn't it a bit too fast for you to join our Hinamizawa household registration?

Kazuma didn't care and continued his impassioned speech.

"I know you're a big shot, and you have a lot to consider. The arrival of outsiders like us is definitely unsettling for you, but everyone! Everyone, listen to me! Do you think that criticizing us all day and night can bring Lady Lihua back?!

Our top priority now is to find a way to rescue Lady Lihua! Every minute we waste here could mean something bad happens to Lady Lihua!

This is the only way to prevent the dignity of Hinamizawa from being trampled upon by outsiders! Who do those people from the clinic think they are? They actually pulled out weapons and threatened us when we and the village chief were here?! Can the dignity of Hinamizawa be challenged like this?

Everyone was speechless as they looked at Kazuma, who kept calling her "Rika-sama" and respected her even more than they loved the shrine maiden.

It seems true.

So everyone turned their attention to the witch again.

"Well, let's go negotiate with the clinic again. I've already sent people to block the way down the mountain. There's no way they can escape!

These two people will be dealt with by our Sonozaki family first, and I will interrogate them personally.

By the way, for everyone's safety, please bring your usual working tools, such as pitchforks, sickles, shovels, etc., to this negotiation."

Sonozaki Mion glanced at Kazuma and made the decision coldly.

Several people immediately grabbed Kazuma and Kirito and dragged them towards the Sonozaki family.

However, Kazuma, who was dragged away, didn't care.

Because at this point, the plan has been completed, the only thing is that it seems that they cannot accept the results, and can only rely on Kerry's side.

140

Chapter 140: Gather! The Mob Friends of the Forest!

Kazuma and Kirito could have rebelled against these villagers, but there was no need.

Now these villagers are a knife in their hands.

If they resisted, they wouldn't be able to stab those people in the clinic.

So Kazuma and Kirito chose to be taken away.

They walked through a Japanese-style courtyard. The old lady who was the head of the Sonozaki family and was in a wheelchair seemed to be in poor health and could not participate in what was happening outside, so she went back first. Instead, the green-haired girl Sonozaki Mion, whom they had met before, was in charge.

It seemed that this area connected to the mountainous area was the property of the Sonozaki family. The two were eventually caught in front of a cave. It was called a cave, but there was an iron gate outside.

Kazuma and Kirito, who had no intention of resisting, changed their expressions when they entered.

Go down the dimly lit stairs and through the corridor to reach an underground facility.

This is the Sonozaki Basement, one of the six must-see attractions in Hinamizawa, as famous as the Hinamizawa Bridge.

This basement is quite unique.

Those who know this is the Sonozaki family basement, while those who don’t think this is the Irisil underground prison, the Hinami Sakizawa branch.

First, after passing through a wooden door, the first thing you see is a raised tatami mat and two rows of futons.

If you only look at this place, you might think that this is a teahouse for the elderly, but directly opposite the cushion is a tilted cross, which is full of tools such as shackles to fix people's limbs, and the surrounding area is also filled with various large traditional intangible cultural heritage props.

Iron Maidens, knives for disembowelment, nails and maces for piercing fingers or eggs and hot dogs, special light bulbs for inserting into women's bodies and then breaking them, and hooks for hanging human intestines for the victim to see.

Just as it is humans who kill the most humans, it is also humans who know how to make humans suffer the most. In this world with countless planets and countless unsolved mysteries, humans always find ways to oppress and torture each other in their own little world.

This place doesn't look much better than the hell in some myths and legends.

The purpose of the place filled with futons is also very obvious.

That's the "viewing seats".

Although he already knew that this village was practicing feudal patriarchal practices, Kazuma didn't expect it to be so outrageous.

But this is not the end for the two of them. If they walk a little further inward, they will enter a large underground space.

It was surrounded by two floors of short cages, the number of which was astonishing.

Sonozaki Mion walked up to the two people who were caught by the villagers with a dark face, pointing in front and then behind.

“I deliberately didn’t blindfold you, just so you could see.

There is no surveillance here, and no one knows you are here. Behind it is the bottomless mine of Hinamizawa.

If you die and your body goes inside, no one will know.

Now tell me, what do you bastards using fake names know? What did you do to Lihua?

Sonozaki Mion, who has been trained as the next head of the family since childhood, has superb conversation skills. She started by asking what they had done to Rika, so that if it was really related to them, they might reveal their flaws.

"Here...is it true that no one will find out? Aren't you afraid of the law?"

Kazuma asked with a trembling voice.

"Haha! Of course! Even most villagers don't know about this place, so if anything happens here, no one will know. If there's anything else you haven't explained, that would be best..."

"That's great."

Kazuma sighed to Kirito.

"what?!"

Sonozaki Mion looked blankly at Kazuma who said that was great and Kirito who nodded.

Their joints were all taken by two villagers...

The next moment, Kazuma and Kirito shook their bodies and arms.

The villagers had no idea that the two men were stronger than the bulls and they broke free in an instant.

Because they wanted to pretend to be attacked, neither of them brought their instrument bags.

Kazuma carried a small dagger, while Kirito carried a vajra that was donated to him by a Buddhist mother.

Sonozaki Mion herself is a master of physical techniques. Seeing this situation, she immediately pulled out an electric shock device from her waist and stepped forward.

Then she felt a pain in her wrist, and before she could see clearly what happened, several young and strong villagers were knocked to the ground by the two men.

"Well, since no one is here, Miss Sonozaki, we can ask you what's going on with this village and this place."

"Varied……"

……

At this time, the villagers who did not know that the Sonozaki family's property had been robbed set off in a mighty procession after getting the Sonozaki family's approval.

Because of the extreme unity, almost every household sent someone out, and before dinner, about 300 villagers came to the clinic in a mighty procession.

They held all kinds of joyful farm tools in their hands.

The knight's favorite scythe, the witcher's favorite pitchfork, the guard's favorite shovel, and the indispensable part of this link, the wandering soul's favorite torch.

Neither the clinic researchers with ulterior motives nor the villagers chose to call the police.

In this desolate place, public power seems to have become a piece of waste paper. The villagers believe that their unity is the best protection for them. Even if they do something extreme, they will collude with each other and suppress the news, just like the missing cases in previous years.

Everyone thought it was done by the Sonozaki family, so they all mobilized to erase the heat and news to prevent Hinamizawa from being discriminated against or investigated.

They shouted the same slogans against the dam construction, blocked the clinic, and occasionally threw eggs or expensive fruits at the clinic.

People kept coming up and knocking on the walls of the clinic with soft-handled hammers.

"Defend the Ghost Abyss to the death! Fight tooth for tooth!"

"Defend the Ghost Abyss to the death! Fight tooth for tooth!"

They want to let these pathetic remnants of the foreign bourgeoisie see the power of their old feudalism.

Village chief Gongyou stood in front of everyone with his hands behind his back, as if he was ready to give the order to tear down this small clinic at any time.

At the clinic, Takano, who was upstairs recording everything with a camera, handed the camera to Kokonokuni with satisfaction.

“That’s all.

By the way, let’s drive these people away, it’s annoying to watch.”

Takano waved his hand.

"OK! Don't forget my share afterwards."

Xiao Ci Mu smiled grimly.

"Come to think of it, I've always been annoyed with these villagers."

Soon, amid the excitement of the crowd, the door of the clinic opened.

The villagers in front all retreated behind the village chief, Koyu. The Koyu family is also one of the three great families. Their family has served as the village chief for generations. Together with the Sonozaki family, who serve as merchants, and the Furute family, who serve as priests, they govern the village.

Village chief Gong You raised his squinting eyes to see if these people still had the courage to treat him as they did during the day.
