Chapter 79 Ceremony
During the few days when Kaji and Dama returned to the base and communicated with the association, Oboro conducted a test on a living body with a few bugs.

Further verify your conjecture.

On the grass, Hajime and Hisoka looked at the dead soldier in front of them.

The man's head was shattered, but his hands and feet were still preserved, and suffered a certain degree of injury.

click...

Then, after hearing a strange movement, the corpse slowly stood up from the ground, and a wave of thoughts emerged from the body.

Hazy glanced at Lance.

The latter immediately fired the bullet...

However, the bullet hit the corpse, causing very small wounds, and the power was obviously offset...

Hisoka threw out a few cards and suddenly cut off one of the soldier's legs and arms.

Even so, the fallen corpse was still crawling, jumping up with only the strength of a single lower limb, and pounced on them.

boom.

He whipped his leg like a sharp blade out of his body, smashing the soldier's body into pieces and exploding directly.

"Being boarded by insects during life, the spirit will be controlled... The life essence will be weakened to a certain extent, as if it has been absorbed... After death, the insects are used as a medium to stimulate the mind. It is just pure Qi , there is a tendency to initially form the mind force... the way the mind energy shrinks is clearly to defend." Hazy said.

"That is to say, once it is boarded, the brain becomes a bug, and it is commanded by it. However, because this bug itself has no thinking and wisdom, it can only be driven by instinct... the gas after death is also a bug. What is released first absorbs the energy of the individual, and then transforms it into use..."

Following the words, two bugs emerged from the corpse's minced flesh tissue.

It was originally one.

As soon as the two bugs were exposed to the air, they sprang up out of conditioned reflex and attacked them.

The flapping of the wings, plus this speed... didn't make a sound.

That is to say, you can see it with the naked eye. If you can't see it, you will be caught easily.

"The thoughts, or wills, attached to them have a certain 'protective color', which is very similar to 'absolute' when they are attacking... When facing an attack, they can use thoughts to resist. It is no wonder that the soldiers There's nothing you can do about it."

Hisoka flicked the hand holding the card, and the two worms were divided into two.

After landing, He Nian disappeared together.

"This kind of bug itself is very special. It doesn't simply parasitize in the flesh and blood to lay eggs and multiply to increase the number... but splits the mind and the attached 'will' on the body and transfers it to another individual." Hazy's tone was heavy.

boom boom boom…

Suddenly, there was fierce gunfire and the explosion of artillery fire from behind.

Without further ado, Lance grabbed Pingsen and Dangerui with both hands, his legs were charged, and the skin of his calf began to glow red like a branding iron. In the next second, it was like a supercar, driving the two of them Instantly fled in the opposite direction.

Oboro and Hisoka disappeared in place, looking for the source of the sound.

When I got close to the town, I saw a large number of soldiers wearing white protective clothing shooting wildly at animals of different looks and shapes, some alive and some dead... It turned into a huge animal disaster. .

too many to count...

It felt like the number of parasites was at least tens of thousands, and the area was as dark as a black ocean.

The Eastern Godot army, which was originally stationed at the other side of the town and closer to the Sawtooth Mountains, was also forced to retreat. Their number seemed to be much smaller...only less than 1000 remained.

The parasitized species include birds, beasts, and some reptiles... There are various ways of attacking, which means that it is impossible to deal with it simply by using guns.

For example, the flock of birds coiled above the head fell like a rain curtain.

For soldiers, the damage caused by swooping down is no weaker than that of bullets.

Facing the hail of bullets, although the beasts at the front fell one by one, they quickly stood up again... Even if some flesh and blood tissues were destroyed by the bullets, the flying insects would still shoot towards closer targets.

Some of the soldiers' protective clothing was torn, and they screamed and became food for the herd.

There are also some... who are so frightened when faced with this kind of scene that they immediately turn around and run away...

It seems that the species of the entire Sawtooth Mountains have left their original habitats.

Split.

The feature of splitting is horrible.

There may be only one or a few worms at first, but after this period of parasitism and incubation, the number has reached an unimaginable level.

Among the crowd, there was one guy who stood out in particular.

It is a person with the ability to strengthen the mind.

Wearing the military uniform of Dongguotuo, without protective clothing.

He is the only human being who can stand firm in the surging tide of beasts.

The aura that erupts from itself is thicker than that of Oboro, and it is simply a humanoid bulldozer among the beasts.

All creatures that approached him would be smashed into pieces by his attack. This person's telekinetic ability was extremely destructive and had such a large range that he had the illusion of seeing Wojin.

Dongguotuo actually has such a strong mind ability!
Both he and Hisoka were hiding behind the human military camp, that is, in the woods of the small town, and used 'Jue' to eliminate their energy, making it easier to hide.

With the masters of this strengthening system, the military's casualties seem to have been slowed down to a certain extent.

Although the soldiers were gradually retreating, the front line was not completely broken up by the parasites.

"We are about to fall, and the battlefield will expand again..."

Hazy said firmly in her heart.

He was about to call Hisoka to leave first, when suddenly, a person appeared in the depths of the beast tide he was watching.

A man with long braids, tattoo-like totems all over his face, and a white robe.

It's a Botswa!

The parasites running wild near the man did not attack him.

Then, Hazy's pupils shrank.

I saw this Botswa raised his hands, facing the sky, and made some movements.

Then, he took out a dagger and wiped his neck...suicide!
After his death, he did not stand up again like a dead corpse. Instead, the parasites around him stopped one after another, gathered together, and began to devour his flesh and blood...

There was not even a bone left, so I ate it clean.

Immediately afterwards, Oboro sensed... the huge herd of beasts became more restless, and their aura became more brutal.

"withdraw!"

Hao shouted.

Immediately ran away quickly.

Hisoka followed immediately.

……

After a short while, he stopped after confirming that he was in a safe position and out of the Sawtooth Mountains.

There was a sound from the side, and Hisoka stood still.

"what happened?"

the latter asked.

Based on Hisoka's understanding of Obscure, he felt that... Obscure had seen something.

"It's not energy like a curse...it's not a direct after-death remembrance, but rather an indirect transmission through a medium... endowed with the will of after-death recitation, and has certain rules..." Oboro ignored Hisoka's voice, and his brain Replaying the actions of the Boswa just now, muttering to himself.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration.

It seems...

It's like the egg-in-a-pot ceremony of the Kajin Empire.

Although the functions and effects presented are different, the types are very similar... There are rules, venues, sacrifices, and participants. In connection with the previous inference, the Botswa people have some special items...

"Birth of the primordial worm..."

"It seems very complicated, but it's actually very simple... It's far less detailed than the egg-in-a-pot ceremony. The purpose is to continue the life of the race. The participants are both the Boswa tribe and the monarch of the kingdom. The venue should be the entire East Godot. They want to To overthrow the regime, the target is the royal family...the sacrifices are the Botswa people..."

"Once the ceremony starts, the Boswa people must sacrifice themselves from time to time, until the last 'fire of life', that is, the last person, the division and parasitism will end..."

Hao kept murmuring, his eyes focused.At this moment, he was brainstorming and completely forgot about Hisoka's existence.

"Ok?"

It was also the first time Hisoka saw him like this, with a half-smile on his face, but he didn't bother him.

Ren Youlong is like a psychopath, talking to himself.

"Something gave birth to the primordial worm, which gave it some effects and abilities... kicked off the ceremony."

"The power and effect are far inferior to the egg in the pot... After all, the egg in the pot can make all the princes have beasts, but this kind of bug either directly acts on the Boswa people, or it purely relies on the nature of its split evolution And ability, the binding nature of the rules is not as strong as the latter, and it is not even obvious."

"If the venue is too large, the effect of the ceremony will also be weakened... If the original worm or the first batch of worms were cleaned up at the beginning, the Boswa people might all die, and this situation will never happen. The ceremony will end early... If my analysis is correct, the survivors of the Botswa tribe cannot destroy the king after the remaining people sacrifice, and the winner will be the opponent, but they can keep the fire of the Botswa tribe."

Oboro sensed that there were rules, precisely because he and Hisoka entered the Jagged Mountains and were besieged by parasitic beasts.

The person who was attacked first was not him, but Hisoka...

Out of hostility to the Botswa people.

It is very similar to the prerequisites for using his telekinesis ability. It is also because his ability depends on the rules... so Hazy is particularly sensitive to the rules.

You must know that in the egg-in-the-pot ceremony, the princes' Nian Beasts will also protect their masters, and there is a certain passive defense mechanism.

Of course, in the egg-in-pot ceremony, outsiders can also intervene, and it revolves around the participants, that is, the princes...they are the protagonists.

The purpose is to compete for the next generation who can succeed.

Oboro didn't expect it at the beginning, because the venue... the egg in the pot is on the Giant Whale, and many rules are quite obvious, such as princes can't see their own beasts, and they can't leave the Giant Whale before the ceremony is over, etc. , while the rituals of the Boswa people have weak rules, not to mention restraint...the venue is also not clear.

But judging from the current step-by-step expansion of the battlefield, it might endanger an entire country.

The scope is so large...the ritual cannot affect it at all.

In other words, from the beginning, the rules and venue requirements for this ritual were not that strong... because the thing that created the ritual was not very powerful.

Even looking at it now, the fission of the swarm is terrible... At its root, if it is killed from the beginning, or if it is cleaned with crushing firepower in the early stage, it will not lead to such consequences.

It was the Royal Army themselves that created a breeding ground for the insect swarm... and pushed things out of control.

"No matter what the conditions and factors for the initiation of the ceremony...it must have been achieved."

"These are all speculations and need to be confirmed step by step."

"Is the purpose of the ritual to preserve the life of the last race, or to die together? If it's the latter...then this ritual is the first time it's used, and the probability is too small. The greater possibility is the first, the continuation of the race."

"The threat identified by the association is that thing...it should be the source of the afterlife."

"It's late, if you come earlier, depending on the purpose of the ceremony, you can start with the rules and let the ceremony end earlier... But now..."

If it is a ceremony held for the continuation of the race.

want to end.

They have two choices. The first is to kill all the Bozwa people except the last one.

The second is to kill the king and let the Bozwa win.

One of the key points is whether the creation can cover multiple people...

If the entire royal family is involved, then there are not a few people, and everyone is a participant?
Therefore, Oboro thinks...there is only one target, and that is the king.

As for how to make it participate in the ceremony... What are the conditions and how is it done?
Oboro can't figure it out...but the Botswas are clearly done.

Bugs... can't be cleaned up anymore, the base is too large, not at the beginning.

For him and Hisoka, the degree of danger of this kind of bug is almost non-existent...

It can be seen that the ritual creatures are relatively ordinary, unlike those beasts born from eggs in the pot, which are very scary... hope is only pinned on a small bug, without thought and consciousness.

The only thing is that it spreads quickly...

Oboro isn't very sure about his deduction... It's just that based on the current situation, it's the most reasonable.

Another explanation is that this bug is a species from the Dark Continent.

Forget this thought... Hazuku prefers to believe in the inference of the ritual.

"You... figured it out?"

Hisoka was a little surprised.

He couldn't understand what Oboro was saying...

But this friend seemed to understand the whole situation.

It seems... From the beginning to the end, everything has been calculated.

What kind of mind is this?
Obviously, as a team member, he is still at a loss.

"Not sure, let's find Lance and the three of them back to the base first."

Respond vaguely.

Hisoka's eyes changed a bit...

He understood Oboro, and didn't think that Oboro was talking nonsense...

He did it, but he didn't.

Hisoka stared at him with a slightly heated gaze...

Obviously these days, the messages they received were the same.

"Tsk, can you stop your dirty eyes..." Lu turned and walked in front, and said coldly without looking back.

"Hehehe..."

Hisoka smiled and said nothing.

After a while, they found the three of Lance.

Retrace your steps to the borderline.

A few days later, they stepped into a temporary base not far from the pass.

Kaki and Dharma are there too.

Oboro found the cell phone and called Nitro.

Tell me your thoughts and the current situation in East Kota.

"Well...your guess is very likely...it seems that the matter is more serious than I thought..."

The old man said slowly, "I still want to praise you, you found your way so quickly, you deserve to be the one I like..."

"...It's already this time, so don't be poor. If it is really a ceremony, it will not threaten the outside world, but the country of East Kota may be gone...If it is divided at this speed, the war will spread across the country, and there will be few You can survive." He said calmly.

"While it hasn't completely spread yet, I think we can use some 'special items'."

"You mean nukes?"

"The regime in East Kota cannot allow other forces to enter... In addition, the area of ​​​​the war is already quite large. It is difficult to stop it by just one person or a team! Throw a nuclear bomb down and wipe out all the bugs. This is a good thing. It's not difficult for v5, right?" Hao sneered.

"Is there a difference? No, it will still provoke international disputes and wars... The impact on the social level is also immeasurable. It can be done artificially, and there is no need to go to that step."

"Why don't you make a trip, or send more people over... You won't think about it, and let me finish it by myself?"

Hazy's heart sank.

"Hohohoho... This is not my mission."

"..."

"According to what you said, it is really a kind of introduction ceremony... as long as it is destroyed or ended?"

The president yawned: "Oh, I suddenly feel a little sleepy... The older you get, the less energetic you become... Come on, I believe you can do it."

Snapped.

Oboro hung up the phone directly.

squint your eyes...

Dead old man!

 It’s too difficult to code~~
