squeak-
With a sharp brake sound, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan stopped in front of them, and then a handsome man and a beautiful woman got out of the car.
The man had a calm expression and held a black umbrella in his hand.
The girl under the umbrella had a smile on her face and a red brocade bag embroidered with mandarin ducks tied around her waist.
"grown ups!"
“Living Buddha!”
Two different sounds were heard simultaneously.
The Second Sect Leader and the Second Sect Leader stared at each other from a distance.
Invisible sparks were bursting in the air, which was their dissatisfaction with the other party competing with them to be their lackeys.
"That's enough." Wang Ran interrupted them, "Tell me the details."
He glanced into the building and saw Bai Fan squatting on the stairs with a strange look on his face.
He was a little puzzled and wondered what happened to Bai Fan
After communicating with Master Er and the others, has your worldview changed a little bit
"Living Buddha, I know a lot." Er winked and said, "Let me speak, let me speak!"
He was a cult leader before and knew a lot of secrets.
Wang Ran came back to his senses and nodded slightly.
Second introduced: "The awakening ceremony is actually to convey a message to the giant beast, telling it what the outside world has become, so as to prompt it to revive on its own initiative."
He paused.
Seeing that Wang Ran had no problem, he continued, “The difficulty of the ritual lies in how to make the behemoth believe us… Bah, bah, bah, it’s to believe those antisocial rubbish of the Apostles of Doom!”
Wang Ran asked doubtfully, "Is this difficult?"
Er said seriously: "It's very difficult!"
"The beast fell into a deep sleep because it was seriously injured. It has a deep fear of the outside world. Only the most sincere heart can awaken it."
Wang Ran raised his eyebrows: "Go on."
Er sighed, “At first they wanted to use children between four and six years old to awaken the beast, because children’s hearts are the most sincere.”
"But children don't understand anything and are easily frightened."
"The beast is afraid to revive because it is afraid. The children themselves are afraid, so don't expect them to be able to wake up the beast."
Wang Ran nodded slowly: "What happened next?"
"Later they discovered that even if the children were not afraid and the beast believed them, it was unwilling to revive."
"Because children's understanding of the world is too superficial and they cannot provide enough information to the behemoth."
Just because children feel safe doesn't necessarily mean they are really safe.
Wang Ran thought thoughtfully: "So in order to revive the beast, the person who awakens it must be sincere and knowledgeable."
Second, he seized the opportunity to flatter: "The Living Buddha is wise!"
Wang Ran remained silent.
"Stop flattering me!" The Second Sect Leader glared at the Second Sect Leader, "What else do you know? Speak up!"
Er immediately said, "Then they came up with a solution, which is to connect the thinking of a child with the thinking of six adults."
"Use the child's thinking as the main method to let him communicate with the beast; use the adult's thinking as a supplement to provide the beast with the information it wants to know."
Wang Ran was surprised and asked, "Seven people with one brain, how can this work?"
Two affirmed: "It can be done!"
"They tried it once two years ago, and that time they woke the beast from its deep sleep to a shallow sleep. If they try again, they will be able to wake the beast up completely."
Wang Ran asked in confusion: "Why not wake him up twice in a row?"
Second sighed and said, "Being read out puts a heavy burden on the brain. The people who participated in the ceremony died one after another after the ceremony. It will take time to gather the next wave of suitable people."
This... is a sacrifice, right
Wang Ran frowned. According to the information he got from the simulator, Bai Fan’s childhood sweetheart was one of the people sacrificed in the awakening ceremony.
He asked, "Do the people who participated in the last wave of awakening rituals know about this?"
"Yes, they all volunteered." Er paused, "Except for the child."
Wang Ran was silent.
Two hesitated and said, "In order to keep the child's heart pure, the Apostle of Doom will not tell the child any negative news. Before the child died, he thought the ceremony was just a game."
Wang Ran asked again: "It wasn't just that one child who died, right?"
There was something cold in his voice.
Yiya, who was holding his arm, also looked unhappy.
Apart from that successful awakening ceremony, there were many failed awakening ceremonies before. If a child between four and six years old died in each ceremony...
The Apostle of Doom is simply insane!
Er noticed that Wang Ran's tone was wrong.
He raised his head and glanced at Wang Ran's face, then hurriedly distanced himself from the matter: "Living Buddha, I have been practicing on the island, and that sickly ghost has always been in charge of things here."
"As for how many children were consumed..."
He answered cautiously, "We've been experimenting for five or six years, so there should be one or two hundred children."
Yiya frowned and asked, "Where do all these children come from?"
Although she is also a member of the Apostles of Doom, she has always been outside the shadow of the Apostles of Doom and has no idea what the Apostles of Doom have done.
One or two hundred ignorant children...
Er didn't know who Yiya was, but he could see that Yiya had a close relationship with Wang Ran, and he vaguely felt a strong threat of death from Yiya.
He nervously answered Yaya's question: "Most of them were bought from human traffickers, and the rest were adopted from orphanages."
Wang Ran sighed deeply.
The past is hard to come by.
When the Apostle of Doom experimented on children, he had not yet traveled to this world.
All he could do was prevent something like this from happening again.
He stopped asking about the child and instead asked about the method of disrupting the awakening ceremony: "So as long as we scare the beast hard once, it won't wake up?"
Er nodded slowly: "That's the theory, but when they woke up the beast, they had already instilled a wave of information into it. Now if they want to trick it..."
Wang Ran turned his head and looked at Yi.
He specifically picked a talent that improves credit for Yi in order to fool the behemoth.
Yi coughed lightly and said, "The ability that the Lord has given me is very magical. I am sure I can deceive the giant beast."
[Credit Loan]
[You can overdraw your credit for a period of time in the future in exchange for others' trust in you this time]
Although it is unclear what the consequences of overdrawing credit are, according to the description, this talent can gain the trust of the behemoth 100%.
Two hesitated and said, "It's not enough to just gain trust. We also have to let the beast read the information in the brain. After reading the information, there is a great risk of brain death."
"I think it would be easier for you to kill all the Apostles of Doom once and for all."
Yiya looked at Wang Ran curiously.
In her perception, Wang Ran is just an ordinary person.
Why is this guy so confident in Bad Bao
Wang Ran shook his head: "Only the main culprit will be executed, and the others will be treated like dogs."
He might have to deal with some disaster in the future, so he needs capable people to help him manage the Apostle of Doom.
Except for the Grand Master and Taoist Ji'an, who must die, the others can be dealt with at the discretion of the court.
Wang Ran thought that he knew everything he needed to know, and it was time to go down and meet Taoist Ji'an.
But before that, he had one more thing to do.
