Daily life in the era of Reiki

Chapter 229

The population is only a few million, and when will it become a large city, the three of Miao Sheng curled their lips at the same time, somewhat looking down on the small family here.

At the same time, I am very speechless about the behavior of the people here who destroy the signal tower at every turn. This is how unconfident they are, so they don't want to contact the outside world and let others know their situation.

If the city is really as strictly controlled as David said, the situation of the comrades-in-arms will be even more worrying.

Both of them were ordinary soldiers with wounds on their bodies. In such a strictly controlled city, it was unknown how much they had to pay to be able to contact their families once.

Miao Sheng still had some doubts about the city. He asked David, "From the places we passed, there are no major grain-producing areas such as large farms around here. Generally, small forces are nothing. In a big city with a population of several million, do you know how they solve the food problem?"

David was stunned by Miao Sheng's question. He looked towards the city not far away like a giant beast crawling on the ground. It was really not easy to feed such a big guy. Why didn't he think about this question before?

"There is no agricultural area, and there are no mineral deposits around. Even if a single city eats dirt, it is impossible to feed millions of mouths. David, who did you hear that there are millions of people in the city?" Du Wei was a little curious. David is How do you know the exact population size?

"I, I listened to the Pope who taught us, he never lied." David's tongue was a little out of control, and he couldn't believe that the person he trusted the most all the time would deceive him.

He did not give up making excuses for the Pope, "Maybe he was also deceived by the people here."

"Then what is their purpose of deceiving the Pope?" Cheng Jun saw David's expression of collapsed faith, like a little star chasing girl who found out that her house might collapse.

He couldn't bear to pat him on the shoulder, and analyzed possible situations with him, "Are you sure that the Pope has visited this city in person? Why did he come here?"

"The mayor here invited him here. Although the city was not involved in the war at the beginning of the chaos, there was a serious collapse that buried more than forty children in a school.

At that time, the Pope was stranded in the city on the other side of the inland sea due to the war situation. He was invited by the mayor of this place to preside over the funeral and lived there for half a year. He did not return to the totem master until the most chaotic situation stabilized. holy city. ”David recalled the intersection of the Pope and the city.

It is precisely because the Pope has lived here for half a year that he has no doubts about the statement that there are millions of people in the city.

It was only after Miao Sheng figured it out that this loophole was realized. It is impossible for a former port city with no output and no resources to support millions of people.

"This city is too weird. If you go directly, you may be restricted. It's better for us to sneak in at night." Cheng Jun pondered for a moment, and decided that it was safest to act secretly when the situation was unknown.

"David, thank you for your assistance along the way, but sneaking into the city is too dangerous, and you don't have to participate."

"Don't, according to Hua Guo, 99 steps have been taken, and this last step is still missing. If I leave, if your companions are not in the city, without my leadership, it will be inconvenient for you to find someone afterwards Ah." David looked at the city with scorching eyes, and had no intention of leaving at all.

If he can uncover the secrets of this city, his prestige and status in the totem division organization will be greatly improved, and he may be able to grab the pope's pigtails and rise to the top ever since.

"Then you have to think about it. It's okay to act together with us, and it's okay to run away alone when you encounter danger, but if there is any behavior of beating back and betraying your teammates, I will beat you into a fool." Miao Sheng saw this at a glance. What does the mercenary guy think, but he doesn't resent his thoughts.

If there is a real problem in the city, the three outsiders may be able to kill the leading jerks, but doing so can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Changing someone in power will not solve any problems. It's even more irrelevant.

It's better to hand over the problems that arise here to David, and it will be much easier for him, an organized local, to solve them.

No matter what his purpose is, as long as he is ambitious and wants to get more merit and benefits, he has to deal with the things exposed by himself.

"Hey, I'm just cowardly and love to run away. I've never done anything to cheat my teammates." David waved his hands again and again, pointing to the sky and swearing to all the gods that he will obey orders honestly and will never bully everyone hind legs.

Seeing the approval of the three of Miao Sheng, he secretly murmured in his heart, with Miao Sheng and the super strength of the two reinforcement systems, he would be foolish to deceive them.

If he hadn't been killed, he would have hunted him down all over the world, so he wouldn't have done such a stupid thing.

The four of them decided to wait until late at night before sneaking into the city, so they first found a hidden place outside the city to recharge their batteries.

Miao Sheng released the wooden house and turned it into a mound similar to the surrounding environment. The four of them rested after adding some food.

Using the imperceptible power of the soul to guide the three into a deep sleep, Long Er walked out of Miao Sheng's pocket.

[Hmph, that guy doesn't know what he's thinking, is it really safe to act with him? 】Long Er still finds David a bit displeased, for fear that he will endanger Miao Sheng's safety.

The rest of the partners are not around, Jin Jin fell asleep again, it has to shoulder the responsibility of protecting its master.

[It doesn't matter, if you dare to endanger us, just deal with it directly. The most important thing at the moment is to find the comrades who have lost contact. If you can find the tricks in this city, that is of course the best.No matter what kind of plans David has, as long as the ultimate beneficiaries are ordinary residents of the city. 】 Miao Sheng is not worried at all that David will betray him.

In terms of force, he can crush it into slag, and with David's character, when there is no conflict of interest, he will never do anything that will be criticized. His priesthood is still quite heavy.

Let Long Er stand by, Miao Sheng extended his consciousness into the underworld, and observed the city in front of him through the sun.

When the situation inside the city appeared in his consciousness, Miao Sheng's first reaction was that many people in the city had grass growing on their heads.

After careful inspection, I discovered something new. The people with grass stood motionless, and even their souls fell into a sluggish state. What's going on?

The strange situation made Miao Sheng's heart rise to his throat, for fear that the two lost comrades in arms would appear in the crowd of straw people.

He searched for a long time, and finally found two people in a place similar to a mill.

They were very thin, with ragged clothes and bare feet. If Hua people were not more conspicuous among Westerners, Miao Sheng would not be able to connect them with the appearance in the photo.

Together with a dozen people, the two were pushing a stone mill that was bigger than the largest round dining table. From time to time, someone slipped and staggered, which immediately attracted the fat supervisor sitting on the chair to whip him with a whip.

Miao Sheng was so angry that his brows stood on end, and he finally suppressed the idea of ​​dragging that pig to the underworld.

Even if he wanted to kill him, he had to rescue his comrades first, so as not to cause them to suffer more due to side effects, and let him live for a few more hours, and he would not be too late to clean up at night.

Not wanting to watch the picture that made his blood pressure soar again, Miao Sheng withdrew his consciousness and opened his eyes. Seeing Long Er looking at him worriedly, he nodded with a smile,

【I found them. Although the condition is not very good, at least they are still alive and all the parts are complete. Congratulations. 】

[Phew, that's good, no matter what happened before, just save it.Have you seen the situation in the city clearly?Really millions of people? 】Seeing Miao Sheng's eyebrows stretched, Long'er flicked his tail happily, and then became concerned about the situation in the city.

[There are indeed so many people, but at least one-fifth of them are very strange. They all have grass growing on their heads, and they seem to have fallen into dormancy, with their bodies and souls motionless and silent. 】Miao Sheng frowned again when he thought of the appearance of those people.

They made him think of Cordyceps sinensis, and he immediately shook his head to drive away the horrible thought.

You have to see it with your own eyes to know exactly what it looks like. It is too much to sentence someone to death just by observing with spiritual consciousness.

【Going to the city at night, you should also rest for a while, I'm here. 】Long'er urged Miao Sheng to quickly adjust his state and practice when he couldn't sleep, which was better than random thinking.

Since Miao Sheng entered the stage of body energy transformation, she no longer needs much sleep, and sleeping at night has become a habitual action.

Although breaking this habit will not make you feel physically uncomfortable, but the pressure in your heart will increase after a long time, which is probably the reason why the idea that staying up late is harmful to your health is too deep-rooted.

He closed his eyes and had just rotated two big circles, the consciousness in the soul sea suddenly shook, almost uncontrollably entering the underworld, and at the same time, the distance between the sun and the lunar star was rapidly narrowing.

Miao Sheng heard the screams of excitement from the dead souls in the passage between the two worlds. These dead souls covet the creatures in the human world. As long as they get the consent of the master of the underworld, they can appear in Miao Sheng after connecting the human world with the underworld. By Sheng's side, everything in sight was settled for him.

This realization made Miao Sheng's nose break out in cold sweat. He ordered the dead souls to calm down and stay in the passage between the two worlds. Whoever dares to come out will be wiped out.

At this time, he had another question. Is it really the best choice for a creature to have the ability to control the underworld and control the souls in the two realms at will?

A thinking creature will have selfish desires, and at the same time also have weaknesses. If such a guy is given unlimited power, isn't it afraid that he will endanger the two worlds?

If the lord of the underworld becomes bloodthirsty, wouldn't it bring catastrophe to the creatures of the two worlds?

He also thought of the various deeds and encounters of human beings after the spiritual energy revived. It seemed that without the Lord of the Underworld, human beings would not necessarily stop.

Maybe the appearance of spiritual energy means a protracted catastrophe for the living beings, and only the races that survive and stand out from it have the qualifications to continue to exist.

[Miao Sheng, what's wrong with you? 】Long'er noticed that Miao Sheng's state was not right, what was the meaning of sitting there with wide-eyed eyes, there must be something wrong?

[No, the sacrificial festival in Huaguo is here, the gates of hell are open after dark, and all the undead in the underworld come out to celebrate the festival.It won't be long before the undead will appear here after dark. 】Miao Sheng smiled at Long Er, expressing that he was doing well.

After explaining to Long Er what Sacrifice Festival is, he asked Venus to open the calendar, only to find out that there is a leap month in May this year, so the beginning of September is the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month.

Seeing the year, Miao Sheng realized that he was about to turn 19 years old. He had been a minor for so long that he forgot the fact that he was an adult.

Miao Sheng and Long Er were relatively speechless, complaining about this unreasonable world in their hearts.

When Long'er went to the underworld, he was only focused on admiring the buildings, and didn't notice what the undead under the Taiyin looked like.

Now that they heard that the undead were going to parade in the human world, and they only chose tonight when they had an action, they were so scared that even the tip of their tail went numb.

Hey, Long Er thought again, if the people in the city were scared by the undead, it would be easier for them to act.

Miao Sheng was even more curious about one thing. When he entered the underworld with his real body, he was in a different space from the undead, and then he entered the Lunar Star.

After becoming the lord of the underworld, he didn't make any changes to the underworld, so the undead below took care of everything and were ignorant of everything that happened.

The undead in the underworld are the same as the human world, they don't know that the underworld already has a master.

Then when the undead who arrived in the human world faced him, the lord of the underworld, how would they react?

Whether he could sense his domineering aura as the lord of the underworld from a long distance, or did he just treat him as an ordinary person.

At least he should be able to tell that he is an awakened one. Unless it is a particularly ferocious evil spirit, ordinary undead will hide away.

Miao Sheng's current state is very interesting. His spiritual consciousness has entered the lunar star, but miraculously, his body in the human world can still act as usual, and the remaining spiritual consciousness in the soul sea is still as strong as usual.

Although the consciousness in the underworld didn't move, the Lord of the underworld, sitting there is enough to form a deterrent.

This discovery put Miao Sheng in a very good mood. As long as he seized the opportunity and announced to the two worlds that he became the Lord of the Underworld, he would be able to remove his suspicions in reality.

For example, when there are many people selected, it must be fun to put on a surprised expression and listen to the broadcast from the underworld with everyone, and then watch the people present fry the pot.

Miao Sheng practiced in a good mood until Ouchuan also entered the night, and a shrill ghost howled woke up everyone in the wooden house.

The three big men who were sleeping soundly jumped up from the bed almost flat, each took out their weapons and put on a defensive posture, and only then did they see where they were.

Miao Sheng... Should it be exaggerated that they are well-trained and quickly enter the fighting state?

It's not surprising that two soldiers, Cheng Jun and Du Wei, can do this. David, a totem master, can also quickly enter the state of combat readiness, which is very commendable.

But he also made mistakes, "Your cross is upside down." Miao Sheng reminded David coolly.

Fortunately, he was not seen by his colleagues, otherwise he would be miserable.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the cross in David's hand. He turned it around with a smile, and then remembered that something was wrong.

"There are ghosts crying and howling outside, are you still in the mood to pay attention to my cross?"

"During the sacrificial festival, the human world and the underworld are connected, and the undead in the underworld will return to the human world. Hasn't this happened for many years?

When we are in Shenzhou, we will inevitably encounter ghosts. Aren’t you used to the ghosts that appear every year? "Miao Sheng looked at David strangely.

With his mental strength, the general undead will only walk around him. Unless he has done all kinds of bad things and encounters undead demanding his life every year, otherwise the door of hell will have little effect on him. Why are you so nervous.

"How many ghosts do you have in Huaguo? Our side is overwhelming, and there are undead everywhere. Do you know how terrifying those guys are? Won't they tidy themselves up and come to the human world to play again?" David shuddered violently when he thought of the fright he had suffered in previous years.

"Are you only concerned about appearance?" Du Wei complained feebly, what other people look like is none of your business.

"Otherwise? For a handsome man like me, everything that appears in front of my eyes must be beautiful. I don't want to see things that hurt my eyes." David pointed at Du Wei confidently, wanting to be overwhelmed by his common sense of aesthetics listen to him.

Then he put down his hand in discouragement, it's a waste of time to talk to a dead straight man about popular science aesthetics, he might as well pack it up quickly, and go to the city to find out what's going on while the undead are running around.

There are three powerful bodyguards escorting it, and there are undead jumping around to add to the chaos. With such a good opportunity, he must find out the secrets here.

As long as the church grasps the handle, there is a way to take this city into its own hands.

Obtaining this place is equivalent to gaining an additional enclave outside the diocese. With such a great contribution, maybe he can also become a pope.

Regarding David's ambition, the three of Miao Sheng also supported him. This guy is a real villain, and he clearly calculates the gains and losses of benefits.

As long as there is no conflict with his interests, and the back is not handed over to him at a critical moment, the two parties can use their interests as a bond to continue the mutual benefit for a long time.

If he can occupy a high position in the totem master organization, it would mean that Huaguo would have an extra partner of interest.

The four tidied up neatly. When they walked out of the wooden house, Cheng Jun and Du Wei were also a little frightened by the number of undead. It is a bit exaggerated to describe it as overwhelming, at least to the extent that they would hit one or two without looking at the road.

"Where did so many undead come from?" Cheng Jun muttered in a low voice.

Doesn't it mean that as long as the undead enter the underworld, they will run to reincarnation without looking back. If they can't maintain their human form after staying for a long time, they will completely lose the possibility of reincarnation as an adult.

"Not all undead want to be reincarnated. If I die, I will never reincarnate." David snorted coldly.

There are still a few years to live in the underworld, and reincarnation is tantamount to dying again immediately, and when you are born again, you will be a new life that knows nothing about the past.

He didn't want to waste a few more years of life for the sake of an illusory next life.

"It's not wrong to think so." Du Wei agreed with David's point of view, "A newborn body should have a newborn soul. Why do you have to put old wine in new bottles?"

"Yes, yes, that's what I thought, but many people in the church thought I was crazy." David was angry when he talked about the people in the church.

"Their point of view is that as long as there are enough times of reincarnation, enough vows can be accumulated in the soul, and after several lives of practice, one day they will remember all their previous lives and become saints.

This is basically their wishful thinking, and they don't ask the underworld if they agree, and they still accumulate their wish power. If they don't accumulate karma, it is considered kindness of the underworld. "

The three of Miao Sheng laughed and comforted the angry David, this guy is good at this, he can always think clearly about everything, and then make the choice that is most beneficial to him.

A group of four people carefully approached the city wall, only to find that the top was empty, except for ghost shadows.

Everyone in the city hid, they probably wouldn't have thought that someone would be so bold as to come and make trouble during the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts.

Miao Sheng glanced at his teammates who were acting together. Cheng Jun and Du Wei were really courageous, and no undead wanted to get close to the two of them.

Even if he didn't reveal his identity as the lord of the underworld, his powerful spiritual sense would still deter the undead.

But even though Long'er in his arms knew that with Miao Sheng's protection, the undead would not be able to hurt him at all, he was still trembling with fear.

And next to him, David hugged himself into a ball.This guy is really cowardly and greedy, as long as the benefits are enough, even if he scares himself to death, he will not back down.

Entering the city easily, it is no surprise that no living person can be seen on the street. Miao Sheng unfolded his spiritual sense and led a few people to search on the edge of the city first.

After only running a half circle around the city, they came to the mill area and found the two people who had lost contact in a cellar.

Compared with other people who were shaking together in fear, the two soldiers huddled in a small cubicle and slept very soundly.

It wasn't until they were embraced by Cheng Jun and Du Wei that they realized that there was an outsider beside them. When they opened their eyes and saw the tearful comrades in arms, the two of them also shed tears immediately.

Before entering the cellar, David had already put everyone in it to sleep. It must be said that the totem master was very good at controlling mental power.

Return David's alchemy space to him, and ask him to take out the camera to record the scene in the cellar. These are the evidence that the totem division organization used to attack the city administrators. Only with evidence can they become famous.

Taking the two out of the cellar, Miao Sheng first pressed a round of Mizuki Reiki, then used the nutrient solution to let them recover quickly, and then took out the mechanical spider mount for the two to travel.

"Dwarf robot cavalry, Miao Sheng, how did you get this thing?" David screamed while covering his mouth when he saw the mechanical creation Miao Sheng took out.

He looked at Miao Sheng in panic. Only humans who are closely related to the demons will be rewarded with this thing for self-defense. How did he get it?

"Ah, it originally belonged to the dwarves. I overturned a demon before and got it from his space." Since Miao Sheng took it out, he had already thought of an excuse.

He was taking the opportunity to show David his strength, and at the same time dispel his idea of ​​getting the flying magic weapon, otherwise he would always have a knot in his heart if he refused the other party's request at the beginning of the cooperation.

With David's shrewdness, he must be able to figure out that it would be more affordable to get this big spider than to ask for Huaguo's untold secret and be rejected.

Then Miao Sheng asked David, "The fact that the dwarves can give mechanical spiders to other demons casually, does it mean that they have better things?"

"Yes, yes, do you still want to grab it? The dwarves are quite disgusting and wary of humans, and it is impossible to use mechanical creations to make deals with us." David stared at the mechanical spider with bright eyes, and heard Miao Sheng's words Meaning, he immediately showed puppy-like expectant eyes,

"Master, if you can get a better one someday, you must remember to bring a copy to your brother, the price is negotiable."

"Of course there is no problem. Mutual benefit is good for everyone. Since we have found our companion, if you like it, this mechanical spider can be used as an extra reward." Miao Sheng agreed with a smile. Doing business requires both parties to be satisfied. Does winning last long?
