"plan?"

"Hey hee hee, you have fallen into my trap, ranger!"

The voodoo priest beat the tambourine on his waist proudly, making a rhythmic sound of "dong dong". His two bare feet kept dancing in circles.

Lin An twitched his nose, and a strong smell of alcohol and chili pepper water came out.

Guede, or pronounced in Creole - "Fèt Gede", the Guede family.

The family of psychics who control the power of life, death and fertility in Voodoo are quite famous in the Caribbean and the western part of Eagle Country.

This concept is a fusion of the "saint" image of Western religions and the inferior "spiritual medium" Loa extending from the Orthodox sect.

The spread across two oceans caused the teachings and principles of Voodoo to deviate from tradition and spread everywhere.

The Gede people are composed of five famous family figures. They are short, dark-skinned, wearing high hats. They like smoking cigars and eating apples. They are in charge of different forms of death, such as accidental death, child death, disease. Death and so on.

According to voodoo legend, the Gede family has the divine ability to read the minds of others and understand everything that happens in the world of the living and the dead.

Compared with Loa, the five Gede mediums are easier to communicate with and are similar to intermediaries.

Human requests are conveyed by them to the orthodox gods, who act as executors.

"All Souls' Day" on November 2 is the most active time for the Ged family. On this day, voodoo believers usually drink raw rum, wipe their bodies with a mixture of goat pepper, and tie tambourines around their waists. A dance called "banda" is performed to the beat of drums.

Unsurprisingly, the voodoo priests are "Gedes".

The strange thing is that no matter how Lin An thinks silently in his heart, the system does not display the panel.

crashed?

Suddenly, two memory fragments flashed through my mind.

Speaking of which, since arriving in Nanzhou, this "crash" problem seems not to have happened for the first time.

Neither Mezo nor the white unicorn, the father of the hyena man, the first out-of-control mysterious person he encountered in South Continent, jumped out of the panel.

It is unclear whether the former is the prototype of the Kingdom of Abyssinia, but the latter makes Lin An more and more strange the more he thinks about it.

After getting the finger of the God of Creation and knowing all about the mystery of Bantu, Lin An couldn't find the image of the third unicorn besides Kapalanka and Abada.

Logically speaking, the white unicorn is one of the two prototypes he guessed at the beginning.

This is weird, is there really a bug in the system?

Lin An opened his own panel. Recently, he had allowed the pollution level to increase unscrupulously, so much so that the value almost exceeded the 30% mark. It is currently 29.4%.

"Brother Tongzi, you won't go on strike because the pollution level is too high." Lin An rarely chatted with it.

"[Mysterious Encyclopedia] All data sections are running normally, code monitoring is normal, and data display is normal." The system's prompt tone became extremely slow, as if it had changed from 5G to 3G in an instant.

This is probably related to the voodoo magic that imprisoned him.

"Isn't that guy a 'Gede'? His features all point to this prototype." Lin An continued to ask.

"I'm sorry...I can't...obtain...at the moment..."

"Forget it, killing him will naturally make it into the entry. I want to see how outlandish this mystery is."

The system's voice became slower and slower, and Lin An had to temporarily withdraw his attention.

"Forest ranger! Hee hee hee, you can't believe it! From the time you arrived in Ivory Coast, from the time you heard the announcement to recruit helpers, from the test of medical assistants, it's all——"

The voodoo priest was still chattering, but Lin An interrupted him expressionlessly.

"The plan of a certain 'prophet', right? You're a genius, let me walk through the whole story from the perspective of a 'knowledge seeker'."

The voodoo priest was stunned, and the drumbeat and dance steps were slowed down by half a beat.

"First of all, you killed someone remotely during the online meeting held by World Tree in Kinshasa, and specifically threatened to support 'Kaponde Kumasi' to win the election, which prompted me to track down Lacon by asking about his whereabouts. Austria’s interest.”

"Then you released the news about the press conference and limited my activities to the city of Abishan in Ivory Coast. So as soon as I docked, you could easily use the press conference bait to catch me and then narrow my activities. scope."

"In the end, you took advantage of my curiosity to attract me to investigate Madam's origin and the weirdness of the vaccine, delaying time. However, I was guided by the 'prophet' and actually worked calmly and conscientiously for six whole days."

Lin An rolled his eyes.

"'Prophet' is the most stubborn medium. He obviously doesn't have much combat power, but he can use all available elements to guide others to their artificially determined destiny."

"So what if you guessed it right?" The voodoo priest's sinister laughter came from under the bone mask, "In another nine minutes - eight minutes, you will die without a burial place. Hehe, do you want it? Try to see if you can still sit up now?"

Lin An tried to sit up, but his arms softened and he lay flat on the ground again.

The unspeakable weight not only suppressed his body, but also imprisoned his soul.

Lin An felt like he was being pressed down by a stone weighing a thousand kilograms. His chest was tight, his abdomen was cramping, and his whole body was indescribably uncomfortable.

As time goes by, the three-layer "chain" binding Mrs. Adamek becomes tighter and tighter, and the negative feedback against him becomes more and more serious.

The energy of "Comes" is sluggish, the system's response is slow, and it is difficult to even control mysterious items.

It’s a ghost thing, right?

"It seems that not only was it the rope, but you also gave her a sedative." Lin An squeezed her unconscious muscles and continued, "I initially thought you were the 'Mother of Desire'."

"Are these your last words?"

"When I first checked Mrs. Adamek, she was not a mysterious person, and then a dark thought told me that she was very safe." Lin An rolled his eyes, "I guess this is the misguidance of the prophet, let I’m sure she’s an ordinary person.”

Just now, his mind ran through countless mysterious prototypes of Voodoo. Although he did not get the specific panel of the priest, the system printed a green data on the tied Mrs. Adamek, which showed that its identification function was not damaged.

[Name]: Little Good Angel, Little Soul

[Rating]: Ghost story D grade

[Radiation value]: 0.8%

[Pollution level]: 72.1%

[Medium]: Mother of Desire

A newly awakened mystic cannot reach such a high pollution value, even if she is transferred by the Mother of Desire.

Therefore, Madam may have become a mysterious person a few days ago, but Lin An did not notice it.

As for the so-called "little good angels" or little souls, they come from one of the central theories of voodoo, which is that they believe that everyone has two souls, the "big soul" and the "little soul".

The "big soul" is responsible for thoughts, memories, and feelings, while the "little soul" is responsible for protecting the spirit of the former.

All forms of voodoo can act on the soul, which can be easily displaced. When a priest communicates with the loa, they cause the person's blood to rush into the head, heating and infecting the spirit, causing them to fall into a trance. .

This state means that the individual's "little soul" is driven away and the "spirit" takes its place.

From then on, the man spoke, acted, and behaved like a god because he lost control of himself and found that he could do things that he would not normally do, or be unable to do.

This trance-like state will last for several days, after which the exposed person will not remember anything.

Voodoo priests allow the possessed person to fulfill his wish unharmed. Before starting the ritual, they place his little soul in a jar, send the loa away, and then return it to the person being casted.

However, the man in front of him was obviously not a regular priest.

Lin An had a premonition that when Mrs. Adamek's pollution level increased to 100%, she would become a living "witch doll" linked to him.

The voodoo priest only needs to kill her to kill Lin An as well.

As for how his witchcraft can suppress the source level...

"Weak bugs are often the most terrifying and efficient predators." The voodoo priest picked up a candlestick inlaid with turquoise and crystal, placed it on the back of his neck and lit it, "Especially when they become adults. When in groups.”

"Boom!"

The flames ignited, and a faint vibration came from above. A thousand people danced in sync with the voodoo priest.

Lin An blinked, and dense green data appeared on the ceiling, like countless blowflies, crawling all over the gaps in the stone wall of the dome.

"Little soul", "little soul", "little soul"...

There are countless numbers of uniform data.

He has never seen so many mystics, it is simply a "sea of ​​monsters" in inferior legendary web games.

Those foreigners who have been vaccinated have now turned into semi-out of control "Mother of Desire" mystics.

Their eyes are empty, and their fragile wills are occupied by higher thoughts. Although their bodies sit still, their souls begin to jump, and their hips rhythmically bend and move with the spine, twisting like a centipede.

The collective trance prayer created a kind of psychedelic smoke that surged and lingered in the upper part of the space, gradually gathering on the head of the voodoo priest, condensing and dripping like water vapor hitting an ice ball, and greater power descended on him.

The dripping mist emits a cold glow, as if the temperature is extremely high, distorting the surrounding colors.

They dripped more and more, converging into a pillar of fire, falling from the sky and shining on the candle on the neck of the voodoo priest. Its outer shell melted, and a venomous snake-like dagger emerged. The end was sharp and poisonous, glowing with an ominous dark green luster.

Wait, collective power?

The more the same medium exists, the stronger its power...

Lin An frowned while observing. Isn't this the "Lord of the Earth"?

Even the beam of light penetrating down from the ceiling was somewhat similar to the Earth Lord's amplifying halo, which reminded Lin An of his former teammate Barry.

However, only the "Mother of Desire" can graft and give birth to such a mysterious person of the same kind, which explains the medium of the voodoo priest in disguise.

Then why did he show the characteristics of the "Lord of the Earth" again?

What the hell is this guy? !

"vomit!"

Before she had time to think deeply, when the dagger appeared, Mrs. Adamek, who was tied to a big tree and unconscious, suddenly vomited out with a "wow". The vomit was full of living maggots and cockroaches.

"Eh hee hee, hee hee hee, when the dagger cuts off this woman's breasts, you are going to die! Forest ranger!"

The voodoo priest smiled evilly and pulled out his dagger. He approached her while playing drums and dancing. Looking back from the corner of his eye, Lin An, who was also affected, was wiping away the acid from the corner of his mouth.

Damn, this isn’t filming the finale of Suspect X’s Devotion.

When Mrs. Adamek vomited, Lin An felt the pain of "as if she was vomiting out her soul" firsthand.

He almost fainted from the pain.

The cooperation between the source-level "prophet" and the "Mother of Desire" is indeed terrifying. From the moment Lin An decided to come to Abishan City, the fate of death was already hanging over his head like the sword of Damocles.

Before doing this, Lin An could only deal with it passively, but people would not fall down in the same river three times.

"Do you... use...?"

The last syllable of the extremely slow system sounded in his mind, and the corners of Lin An's mouth curved.

"use."

At the same time, the voodoo priest raised his dagger and stabbed Mrs. Adamek, and the wind screamed.

"You are not Marie Gielgud Adamek, but [Forester]! I call you by his name, and you will take his place!"

"You are He in this world and time, in all worlds! Let it be so! Let it be so!"

"Dad, clear this space and let the creation of flesh and blood return to nothingness!"

"Pfft!"

He laughed crazily, and the poison-quenched dagger drew an arc and pierced the lady's chest. Blood gushed out, soaking her clothes and tight ropes, and dripped to the ground.

"Hehe, hehe...huh?"

The voodoo priest's laughter stopped suddenly. He was stunned, stretched out his finger to wipe the blood from the wound, and brought it to his mouth to lick it.

"Fresh blood, red blood - no way!"

The next moment, his pupils suddenly narrowed, and he saw Mrs. Adamek in front of him like a two-dimensional painting. The entire figure collapsed and shrank inward in a spiral shape until it became a condensed small black dot.

"Boom!"

Then, as if the universe exploded, her body exploded, becoming transparent and untouchable.

She died and existed as a soul.

"Actually, the main reason I have been acting with you for so long is because I don't want to scare away the prophets who are observing in secret. After all, my experience is: to deal with them, you have to kill them with one blow."

A chillingly calm voice approached, and goosebumps crawled all the way up the back of the voodoo priest's head.

"What did you do!?"

"The nemesis of the 'Prophet', the 'God of Truth'."

The priest's dagger couldn't help but clink and fell to the ground. The colorful ribbons and rosary beads all over his body trembled and rustled, and the footsteps behind him got closer and closer.

"Jie Jie Jie, you have fallen into my trap."

The voodoo priest finally couldn't withstand the pressure. He turned around suddenly and saw the enlarged face of the young man through the hole in the sheep skull mask.

"This is the kind of laughter a villain should have. In the next life, you should learn to do some great dancing." (End of Chapter)
