In the underground tunnel, Zheng Ang and the middle-aged man walked into the door in front of them together.
Zheng Ang looked at the man bound by chains in front of him with disbelief on his face.
His ferocious appearance at this moment could no longer be described as human.
More like a goblin wearing human skin, thin and ugly, with disgusting behavior.
"What exactly is going on?"
In an instant, Zheng Ang turned his head in surprise and asked the middle-aged man his doubts.
Just listen, the middle-aged man said deeply: "The answer is right in front of you."
"This is the so-called truth, and this is what I have been destroying!"
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Ang's expression changed drastically.
What are the things that middle-aged men are destroying?
Is it holy water?!
Zheng Ang's eyes widened and he felt unbelievable: "Isn't it said that holy water is a treasure that can cure all diseases? How could it make people become like this?"
Zheng Ang really couldn't believe what he saw in front of him.
People like goblins are actually the result of taking holy water.
What is going on?
After hearing Zheng Ang's words, the middle-aged man smiled coldly: "Yes, holy water is a treasure that can cure all diseases."
"But is the treatment really a treatment?"
Zheng Ang frowned: "What do you mean?"
The middle-aged man said quietly: "The treatment with holy water is actually just a kind of mental paralysis."
"It will make people forget their pain and numb all pain-sensing nerves, leaving only pleasure and joy."
"Short-term use of holy water can only give people the illusion that their illness has been cured."
"It's like a stimulant, making people suddenly forget their pain and gain several times more strength."
"However, if people take holy water for a long time, their nerves will weaken, and their physical fitness and immunity will decrease. If they don't take holy water for a day, they will become extremely cruel."
"They will be enslaved by the holy water and become slaves of the holy water!"
"It's like a poison that controls people. Once you take the holy water, you will end up like the person in front of you, and eventually become a human, a ghost, a ghost!"
The middle-aged man revealed the true function of the holy water in one breath.
Holy water is poison, it eats people without spitting out their bones.
Even more evil!
In front, the skinny man was completely addicted to the holy water.
When he is addicted to holy water, he will turn into an extremely creepy and frightening madman, and he can only be tied up with chains.
In addition, due to the constant consumption of holy water, his whole body has changed horribly.
It's scary.
After listening to the middle-aged man's explanation, Zheng Ang's heart sank.
If the holy water is really what the middle-aged man said, then Zheng Ang can't imagine how many people in the entire central city will be swallowed by the holy water!
Right now, the holy water in Central City is being sold aggressively.
Of course, Zheng Ang would not directly believe the middle-aged man's words.
If holy water is really poison, then why has no one exposed it since ancient times?
"Didn't you say that the holy water is a treasure left by the brave men?" Zheng Ang asked uncertainly.
The middle-aged man sneered: "The treasure left by the brave?"
"When you live a lie, the lie becomes reality."
The middle-aged man understood very clearly that this was not a treasure left by a brave man at all.
The middle-aged man continued: "I know that it is difficult for others to believe the facts I said."
"But truth is truth and falsehood is false. There is no need for me to deceive you, an outsider."
"And, do you think, why Central City divides the entire city into the outer three rings and the inner three bad ones?"
Hearing this, Zheng Ang raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
The middle-aged man said calmly: "Would you like to go to the outer ring to have a look?"
Hearing this, Zheng Ang's eyes changed: "Can you go to the outer ring?"
An invisible barrier protects the outer ring.
Zheng Ang couldn't force his way in either.
The middle-aged man did not answer Zheng Ang's question directly.
I saw that he first knocked out the holy water addict so that he would suffer less.
Then, the middle-aged man walked towards the house: "Follow me!"
Hearing this, Zheng Ang quickly followed.
Zheng Ang looked around and saw that the room was filled with various bottles and jars, and the smell of disinfectant and potions was very pungent.
The middle-aged man explained: "This is a secret base of mine, responsible for researching ways to treat holy water addiction."
"Unfortunately, so far, the results are not very satisfactory!"
The holy water addiction that penetrates deep into the bone marrow makes middle-aged men feel helpless!
The only thing he can do is destroy the holy water directly.
However, today was an unlucky day and the soldiers arrived too quickly, otherwise he could have gone to the Second Outer Ring Road to destroy a wave.
Soon, the middle-aged man came out of the tunnel with Zheng Ang.
When they appeared on the ground again, they were already inside the Second Outer Ring.
The middle-aged man's tunnel connects the first outer ring and the second outer ring, which makes it difficult for anyone to find his traces.
This is also the reason why Zheng Ang's Suzaku familiar could never find a middle-aged man before.
You think they are on the ground, but they are actually underground.
"By the way, what's your name?" Zheng Ang then remembered that he still didn't know the middle-aged man's name.
Hearing Zheng Ang's question, the middle-aged man looked at him and said casually: "Just call me Brother Cai."
"..." Zheng Ang, Brother Cai?
Are you sure you're not taking advantage of me?
Well, Zheng Ang shrugged helplessly and remembered his self-introduction.
Who doesn’t have a pseudonym when traveling?
Zheng Ang would not believe that Brother Cai was the name of a middle-aged man.
But if people didn’t tell me, it would be inconvenient for Zheng Ang to ask more questions.
Just call you Brother Cai Cai!
Anyway, judging from your age, you are older than me, so you won’t suffer even if you call me Brother Sheng!
Zheng Ang comforted himself.
…
Back to business.
In front of you is the city wall leading from the outer second ring to the outer first ring.
Just jump into the city wall to enter the outer ring.
The location where Zheng Ang and his two men are now is empty.
Brother Cai appeared in the outer third ring road before. Except for the soldiers guarding the city gate, most of the other soldiers went to the outer third ring road to look for him.
The next moment, Zheng Ang asked how to enter the outer ring.
But suddenly, Brother Cai jumped up and jumped in with amazing leg strength.
To him, the outer barrier seemed to be in a deserted place and had no effect at all.
"This..." Zheng Ang was confused.
Are you sure there is really a barrier here?
Looking at Zheng Ang in a daze, Brother Cai said: "What are you doing standing still? Follow me quickly!"
With a messy expression, Zheng Ang could only jump up.
Very easily, Zheng Ang entered the outer ring.
What the hell, the barrier we promised is missing?
Zheng Ang was a little surprised.
Immediately afterwards, he controlled the Suzaku familiar in mid-air to see if he could enter.
But in the blink of an eye, the Suzaku familiar was stunned.
The outer barrier is still there, but it is ineffective against Zheng Ang now.
And all this is thanks to Brother Cai.
Who is he?
Zheng Ang is curious about Brother Cai's identity.
But now is not the time to think about this.
Because the two of them have already entered the outer ring.
Zheng Ang once heard Lily talk about it.
The outer ring is the best place in the civilian residential area!
If the outer third ring road is the suburbs, then the outer first ring road is the town.
It can be said that the common people here are all wealthy owners.
But when Zheng Ang came to this outer ring with his own eyes and looked at the scene in front of him.
He only felt an atmosphere of deathly silence.
Under the dim sky, the outer streets were almost full of people.
Today is the day for the distribution of holy water, and the outer ring is no exception.
Zheng Ang looked in shock. In his eyes, everyone in the outer ring was drinking holy water.
Their expressions were full of satisfaction, and they sang and danced loudly from time to time, and were excited and impulsive from time to time.
Not as lively as a normal person at all.
What's more, he actually lay on the ground licking the holy water that someone else had accidentally dropped.
There were also people with red eyes fighting over the holy water.
The scene in front of him made Zheng Ang stunned and his whole body became cold.
Is this the truth?
No one could have imagined that the entire outer ring would be in such a situation.
Unlike the Outer Second Ring Road and the Outer Third Ring Road, there are no soldiers except civilians on the streets of the Outer Ring Road.
Perhaps even the soldiers were silent while drinking holy water.
Zheng Ang and the two were walking on the roadside, no one cared about them.
In my ears, there was a chaotic noise.
Everyone fell into the taste of holy water.
Suddenly, a figure crawled to Zheng Ang's feet.
Zheng Ang looked and saw that it was a man.
The man's thick dark circles and thin face carry a hint of madness.
His whole body was shaking, he kept shaking Zheng Ang's feet, and said in his mouth: "Please give me some holy water. As long as you give me the holy water, I will sell my child to you!"
As he spoke, the man pointed to the baby boy who was crying loudly in the distance.
The baby boy was only one or two years old. His mother's eyes were blurred and she was paralyzed by the holy water.
All this made Zheng Ang angry in his heart.
He looked at all this sadly and grabbed the man's collar.
"Do you know what you are doing?" Zheng Ang said in a deep voice, suppressing the overwhelming anger in his heart.
The man just cried bitterly: "Please, I can't live without holy water!"
As Brother Cai said, people who are swallowed by holy water have nothing else in their hearts.
Beside him, Brother Cai said in a despairing tone: "It's useless, they have been controlled by the holy water."
"Even if you beat him hard, he won't repent."
Brother Cai's vicissitudes of tone represent his lost youth.
In the past, he was just like Zheng Ang.
But is it useful?
The control of the holy water has already made the people here "terminal sick".
Even if they are asked to die for the holy water, they are willing to do so.
This sick world has long been controlled by darkness.
"The kingdom has always used holy water to control people."
"The outer ring is the control point for them to grow bigger."
"The people here are sinking for the holy water every day and providing pleasure to the nobles is their bet."
"What you saw yesterday was just an illusion."
Hearing this, Zheng Ang remembered that yesterday, people from the first outer ring went to the second outer ring to participate in the celebration.
Originally, Zheng Ang thought that the people in the outer ring were of higher quality and even queued up in an orderly manner.
But in fact, they are just controlled.
Zheng Ang subconsciously clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Why does the kingdom do this? Why do they use holy water to control people and make them..."
Zheng Ang could no longer talk anymore. The ugly sight in front of him made him feel sad and angry.
Just listening, Brother Cai responded: "People's desire for control is unlimited, especially for nobles, civilians are just their playthings!"
Don't forget, the background of this legendary place is the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In this world, the nobles are the real ones in power, and they control everything.
Zheng Ang lowered his head, feeling extremely heavy in his heart. He wondered: "Even if you want to control the people, you shouldn't use such an extreme method?"
Recalling the humans in the basement who looked like goblins.
The civilians in the outer ring will also end up like this in the future, which makes Zheng Ang feel uneasy.
Are common people just playthings for nobles?
Brother Cai sighed: "You will never know how great the desires and darkness of people's hearts can be!"
Zheng Ang seemed to understand something about this sentence, but he didn't seem to understand it.
Zheng Ang raised his head and looked at Brother Cai in front of him. He suddenly understood that when he was in the square, he faced the harsh words and questions from the crowd.
Why didn’t Brother Cai say a word?
Is it useful to talk too much?
The king and nobles are in charge of the entire central city.
They will know whatever they want civilians to know.
Even if Brother Cai is helping them and trying to get them out of their misery, will anyone listen?
In other words, will anyone believe Brother Cai?
Zheng Ang is bitter.
Knowing the truth, he felt the darkness of this world.
Zheng Ang knocked out the pleading man.
At this time, only in this way can he relieve his pain.
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Ang stepped forward and held the baby boy in his hands.
The innocent look in the little guy's eyes made Zheng Ang feel a chill in his heart.
Dragons and heroes.
Zheng Ang laughed, remembering this rumored story.
The evil dragon may be what Brother Cai said yesterday.
Are there really evil dragons in this world?
some!
The evil dragon that comes from the heart of the human heart, that extreme evil!
Zheng Ang looked at Brother Cai again and said: "I already understand the truth of this world, right? I just need to destroy all the holy water and kill the king and the others."
With this sentence, Zheng Ang was filled with hostility for the first time.
Brother Cai shook his head: "It's not that simple. Holy water is just a way for the kingdom to control people's hearts. What they want to do is not just that, they also want to..."
"Ouch!!!"
At this moment, I don’t wait for Brother Cai to finish speaking.
A howling sound came loudly.
Zheng and Ang turned their heads and saw a dozen huge black wolves running towards them in the distance with ferocious looks.
Brother Cai's voice was serious: "That's a demon wolf, a pet of the nobles. They must have discovered my aura."
As soon as he finished speaking, Brother Cai took out his iron sword and wanted to fight.
But at this moment, Zheng Ang put the baby boy in his hands.
Brother Cai was shocked and caught off guard, so he could only start coaxing the baby.
Just listen, Zheng Ang said: "Leave it to me!"
Hearing this, Brother Cai was anxious: "Wait a minute, the magic wolf has huge power. I think it's better for us to fight together."
"No, I'm enough alone."
Zheng Ang put on the flame magic ring and said slowly: "The anger in my heart has not been vented yet!"
"driver on!"
"please!"
Reminds me of the scrawny, hysterical goblins in the basement.
Looking around, people are sinking into the falsehood brought by the holy water. Family affection, love, and friendship are all destroyed by the darkness.
Zheng Ang's anger was already surging!
"shabadobie touch henshin x2!"
"Transformation!!"
"flame! please! hi-hi hi-hi-hi!"
At this moment, violent flames soared into the sky.
In front of Brother Cai, the magic circle of flames passed through Zheng Ang.
The burning flame instantly evaporated all the holy water in all directions.
Heart-rending screams erupted from the crowd.
The harsh and unpleasant sound made Zheng Ang look even more ugly.
Ahead, the demon wolf attacks ferociously.
The wizard took out the magician's sword and launched a direct kill.
From the demon wolf, Zheng Ang felt the smell of blood.
There was still blood hanging from the corners of their mouths.
You don't need to guess why these ugly beasts are here.
How ridiculous!
Zheng Ang remembered that Lily and the others had longed for the outer ring and wanted to let the old man live a good life.
But the real outer ring is so unbearable.
“flame!slash strike!”
On the magician's sword, blazing flames boil!
The wizard aimed his sword at the demon wolves and slashed out with all his strength!
That powerful sword, Zheng Ang's body, the flame magic power, the ultimate output!
Roaring flames surrounded the demon wolves.
Under the powerful sword light, the demon wolves were beheaded one after another.
But things don't end there yet.
The wizard looked into the distance, the castle in the center of the city.
The magnificent castle formed a strong contrast with the unsightly scene in the outer ring.
Zheng Ang turned his head.
Because he evaporates the holy water with fire.
At this moment, everyone in the outer circle was glaring at him angrily, wishing to cut him into pieces.
Zheng Ang's heart felt cold.
Is there really hope for this world? This chapter has been completed!
