No one really thinks I'm stupid, right?

Chapter 218: Captivity

"What the hell, why did you kill it? I want to hear it say a few more words."

Lin Bei saw that the snake could talk, and thought it was very cartoony, just like the scene in the cartoon.

Huang Kai scratched his head.

"It's okay, it's okay. Didn't the old ghost say that there are bigger ones inside, it must say more, maybe it can even sing."

"Really?"

Lin Bei was very curious, "Then I must let it sing a song when the time comes."

"Uh... maybe."

Huang Kai laughed awkwardly.

He was just talking casually.

I hope the demon snake will have a chance to sing when the time comes...

The princess and others were all scared.

They admired Huang Kai, the violent "scientific researcher".

The sea snake was solved with one punch.

The ghost ship continued to move forward, and encountered many sea snake mutants during the period, including S-level ones, but they were all solved by Lin Bei's toy pistol.

He squatted at the bow when he had nothing to do, shooting snakes in the sea water for fun...

About half an hour later

Finally, an island appeared in front of them. This island was very large, with a primeval forest on it, lush and green.

"I'm home! I'm home! The island in front is my home!"

Several boys cheered and jumped for joy.

They, the "sacrifices", were sent back again...

The ghost ship docked at the shore.

Lin Bei and others got off the boat and stepped on the soft beach.

"Our village is just ahead."

The little boy couldn't wait to run forward, probably because he was anxious to see his sister.

They passed through a small forest.

Crop fields began to appear around them, and many men and women in linen clothes were working in them.

"Hey, why are you back???"

An old man saw the children, his eyes widened, full of disbelief.

Several children ran forward and shouted happily.

"Sixth Uncle!"

"Ninth Aunt!"

"Dad!"

"We are back. It was our big brother who sent us back."

".........."

These farmers were obviously their elders. These children all lived in the same village.

The little boy before did not seem to have found his relatives. He looked a little confused.

"Seventh Uncle, have you seen my sister?"

"Oh! Since you left, your sister has been crying and shouting to find you in the temple every day, and then she was caught by the witch. According to the witch, your sister has reformed and voluntarily stayed in the temple to serve the gods."

"Ah? Then I'm going to find her."

The little boy was about to go.

But the old man pulled him back.

"Silly child, you just came back, don't go, hide quietly, and don't let the people in the temple see you in the future!!!"

"No, I'm going to find my sister, woo woo woo..."

The little boy started crying.

The old man looked at Lin Bei and others with doubts.

"Which village are you from?"

"I don't live in the village, I live in the city."

Lin Bei said.

Huang Kai was so upset that he decided to say it himself, "Old man, we are not from this island, we are from outside."

"What?"

The old man was shocked to the extreme.

The rest of the farmers put down their tools and gathered around.

"What? You are from outside?"

"How is this possible? Are there people outside except our island?"

"That's right, isn't there an endless sea outside? How could there be people?"

".........."

No outsiders have ever come to this island.

Of course.

The people on the island have never been out.

Because...

They are captive humans!

The whole island is like a cage, trapping them here and brainwashing them, producing many fanatics who are loyal to the gods.

But there are some exceptions.

For example, the little boy's sister never believed in the existence of gods. She only knew that the witch would use the villagers as sacrifices every month, causing the villagers to lose their families.

Even though everyone has lived here since childhood, there are always people who doubt the reality of this world.

The old man couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Strangers, we have never had outsiders here. You'd better hide. If you are discovered by the temple... there may be trouble."

"Oh, no, I just want to go to your temple to have a look."

Lin Bei took the little boy's hand, "Let's go, I'll take you to find your sister."

"Uh..."

The old man and others were stunned, but they didn't stop them too much.

Watched them leave.

Lin Bei and others came to the village.

They were all thatched houses, the size was exactly the same, and they were arranged neatly, as if they were specially planned.

It reminds people of a place: the pig house!

There are many children running and playing on the street, chasing and playing, and making innocent and happy laughter.

Because people are sacrificed to the gods every month.

So every family is very fertile, with at least seven or eight children.

And once people here reach the age of sixteen, they must get married and have children, and there is no restriction on monogamy. They can have one wife and multiple husbands, one husband and multiple wives, or even... multiple husbands and multiple wives.

In short, as long as they can have children, it's fine.

If anyone does not comply, they will be severely punished

Lin Bei felt it was very strange.

This was the first time he heard of such an order.

Is it in this river?

When the villagers saw Lin Bei and his men walking on the street, they stopped and even lay down at the door to watch.

"Which village is this from? I haven't seen him before."

"Didn't that kid go to heaven? Why is he back again?"

"I don't know, is heaven full and doesn't want him anymore?"

"That's too pitiful..."

".........."

Under the gaze of the villagers, Lin Bei swaggered to the temple.

This is a loft-style building with an antique style.

Outside the gate, there is also a statue of a sea snake. The sea snake is flying like a cloud, as if it is about to rush into the sky, extremely majestic and domineering.

When Lin Bei looked at it, he inexplicably felt like an internet celebrity taking a photo with beauty filters turned on...

Around the temple, there stood a group of guards.

They all held stone weapons and looked extremely simple.

Obviously.

This place is even more backward than the mermaids, and is completely a primitive tribal model.

They don't have any technology.

Technology is not allowed.

"Stop, this is a sacred place in the temple, don't get close!"

The two guards shouted sternly, their eyes full of enthusiasm and piety.

Lin Bei looked around.

"No, I have to go in and take a look."

"Huh? Who are you? Why do you want to go into the temple?"
