Chapter 29: 11:27 a.m.

I closed my eyes not wanting to see this cruel scene, but I had no choice but to “see.” I don’t know if it was because the evil spirits invited were too strong, causing the aura to be too strong, or my third eye opened automatically.

Isn’t this even more obvious than others? I was helpless and could only open my eyes.

The people who were possessed by the evil spirits were pitiful and terrifying. When the formation was successfully activated by Brother Xi, less than half a minute later, all the people behind the fence were possessed by evil spirits?

Why is it pitiful? Pitiful is that everything you see is not real, but you happen to live in that kind of unreality, and believe it without a doubt. When you discover the truth, the consequences are already very cruel.

Why is it scary? It’s scary because the illusions that the evil spirits bring you are beautiful? They are all fatal illusions everywhere. For example, I can see now that those people who are possessed by evil spirits have distorted faces and hideous expressions. Some of them who are stubborn are still resisting, and some of them who are already deeply immersed in the illusion have even begun to injure themselves, extremely cruelly injuring themselves.

I even saw some people foaming at the mouth and struggling on the ground. This is a manifestation of a sudden heart attack. If you are scared to the extreme and your will is not strong enough, you will have a heart attack.

Normally, a mercenary should be extremely tough, but in less than five minutes, this scene of hell on earth appeared. I couldn’t help but sigh, Master’s anger had already been expressed through his actions, and the guy he hired was very powerful.

“Don’t you think it’s cruel?” Master said to me.

“Mercy without principle is not good, but evil, and it only adds to the many causes and effects in the world. Master, I dare not forget your words. But this scene is truly like hell.” The years have brought me maturity. If I were a few years younger, I might have been unable to resist the urge to act impulsively.

“If you carry hell in your heart, you will experience hell one day. This is their karma. From the moment they started to harm these villagers, hell was already in their hearts. It is difficult to be good. It is difficult to be good from the heart, but also to be good with reason. It is inherently contradictory. Tao is always a delicate balance, like finding a central planet in the vast universe. Tao is hard to come by.” Master sighed.

I don’t understand why Master would lecture me at this time, as if racing against the clock, but I still listened carefully. In fact, the principle of goodness is simple in words: don’t do good for the sake of doing good, don’t do good to make up for (make up for), and don’t have a purpose. You must do it naturally, like eating. It is difficult to understand this kind of realization, but Master is rare in his state of mind, and I also try to understand it.

With the addition of a sense of reason, I suddenly had a little understanding. To put it simply, just like eating, which is a common thing, eating sensibly is always good for the body, but eating indiscriminately will bring about some consequences.

For example, a person with gallstones who eats too many eggs will cause the disease to become more difficult to cure.

As I was deep in thought, the commander of the special forces came over and said to my master, “The hostages have been rescued. What should we do with them? Should we execute them on the spot, or what?”

It turned out that as soon as those people were possessed by evil spirits, my master had already ordered the troops to rescue the hostages. They had to be quick, after all. These people were armed, and under the influence of evil spirits, they were bound to make crazy moves. If they accidentally hurt someone, it would be a very bad result.

The great formation can control the evil spirits, but it cannot control the thoughts that extend from people’s fear.

“Take away their weapons and put them all in custody. Leave a small team to guard them and notify the relevant departments to take over.” Master simply gave a brief order.

“But this will spread manpower and take more time,” the commander said. Which of these mercenaries is clean? Especially mercenaries who can be hired by that organization, it is even less likely that they are the righteous army! Not to mention, the people of the Black Rock Miao Village are the focus of this attack.

The commander of course had doubts, and at this moment, it seemed that my master was being a bit too lenient!

“I don’t care what punishment the state gives them! But I don’t want to be involved in this karma.” My master turned and left. In fact, I looked at my master’s back and knew in my heart that he couldn’t bear to see so many lives disappear because of his words.

Even if I kill these people, I won’t be affected by karma. After all, I’m saving more than 200 innocent lives, and the cause and effect are already canceled out.

I smiled a little. So, Jiang Lichun is Chen Chengyi’s master, and Chen Chengyi is Jiang Lichun’s apprentice.

The basic equipment of the special forces naturally includes things that ward off evil spirits. They have their own professional qualities, and they quickly went in and quickly took down the fence. There was no resistance from the miscellaneous troops.

The master commanded the formation to be disbanded, glanced at the sky, sighed, and said, “Let’s go!”

With the special forces clearing the way and the military motorcycles, our speed was much faster than when I and Ru Xue had traveled all the way. When we arrived at the nearest village controlled by the Black Rock Miao tribe, it was still not noon.

But I always felt that time was pressing, and I couldn’t help complaining, “Master, even if we set off at one in the morning, it would be hard to hide our tracks. According to the organization’s capabilities, we could at most delay things for a little while longer and get the news. In the best case scenario, we would only have 25 or 6 hours. Why not use a plane?”

The master looked at me and said, “Do you know how to parachute? Or do you want to be a target in the sky? Besides, even if you jump, can you accurately jump to the designated location? Or will you be caught by the people waiting on the ground as soon as you jump? If this was possible for everyone, the country would not need to train paratroopers. This is no joke in such an operation! Those special forces can do it. They jumped down early, but we didn’t arrive in time. What do you think the consequences will be? Don’t look at them all armed, but as long as there is a large witch hiding in the dark, a large witchcraft…”

I was sweating and thought of the fate of the army just now. Indeed, against a large army, these witches may not be able to do anything, but against a 200-man army, they can do it.

In the meantime, my master and I had already approached the village. Outside the village, the special forces had already occupied various points in the village in a very professional manner, and no one could escape.

Naturally, we professionals will handle the entry into the village.

This is not aimed at the villagers, but at the things in their stomachs, the larvae! During the operation, this is the task, not a single larva can be spared!

Ru Xue and I had been to this village before, and we were very curious about the villagers’ state at the time, leaving many doubts. Master, however, explained everything to me. These villagers are the “feed” for the larvae, feeding the larvae with their own lives.

Fortunately, these larvae eggs are rare. The female lays many eggs, but there are not many of these “worm kings.” Most are bloodworms or some strange bugs!

Yes, they call these larvae the “worm king,” the true “heir” of the female worm. When these worm kings are still eggs, they are placed in the human body to be cultivated. The hateful thing is that the life essence of a person often cannot support the hatching of one egg, and it takes several people to do so.

Of course, if you meet someone with a long life and strong vitality, you can shorten the process.

Over the centuries, the Black Rock Miao Village has accumulated enough eggs, so almost every adult in these villages has been implanted with eggs. As for children, they are spared because the eggs are very strange. Children under the age of 14 cannot absorb anything, but instead will “sleep” for a long time without “nutrition,” waiting to hatch again, for fear of consuming more people.

This is where the Black Rock Miao Village is inferior to animals! When the master told me all this, I really felt that I had nowhere to vent my anger, and I really wanted to find someone from the Black Rock Miao Village to beat up.

Me, Master, Uncle Hui, Uncle Chen, Brother Chengxin, the five of us walked in front, and in no time at all we entered the village, which was completely controlled by the special forces.

The whole village was quiet.

I was very surprised. Why was it so quiet? Although the people in this village were lazy and seemed to lack vitality, it was not so quiet as to be this quiet.

But the answer appeared before my eyes the next moment…

It was 11:27 a.m.
