Chapter 350 Lakeview Village (Part )
Conan sorted out the relationship between them. As far as he knew, there were three people in Oritis Manor who could be called "gods", namely the "King in Yellow", "God of Cats" and "Witch". In addition, there were other gods believed in by prophets, priests, and sorcerers.
Melody's previous respect for Darren's mother shows that she is a "god-level" member of the organization.
"It's a headache. How many kinds of beliefs are there in your manor?" Cameron was overwhelmed.
"At present, there are only a few mainstream ones." The professor shrugged and said.
The sacrificial ceremony was about to begin, and Conan and his friends watched the villagers place piles of sea salt, fragrant oil and cut fish on the altar.
A man, holding an ancient-looking stone slab and carrying a wooden ornament strung with animal skulls and shells, stood on a raised platform, directing the villagers to push a small boat loaded with offerings out to sea. The boat, carried by the sea breeze, slowly drifted away from the shore and disappeared over the horizon.
The old village chief came over and said, "Our sacrifice wasn't that grand, so I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. However, the tradition is to stay by the bonfire all night to prevent the boats laden with offerings from being accidentally washed ashore by the waves."
So Conan and his friends chose a bonfire to sit down. The professor looked at the grilled fish with a troubled expression: "Oh, no, I don't want to eat fish anymore these days."
Conan noticed that while guarding the campfire, a small group of villagers seemed to have quietly left their original position and were walking towards the cliffs by the sea.
Considering that there might be problems if too many people were following them, Conan explained this to Shuichi Akai, and then used his physical advantage to quietly catch up with the villagers.
Conan noticed that among these villagers, there were Uncle Eugene and Aunt Marjorie, but now they had tense expressions, did not say a word, and just focused on hurrying on their way.
Soon, Conan followed these people into a hidden cave, which was connected to the sea. There were many small boats placed on the water in the cave, but these boats were covered with thick plastic sheets, so it was impossible to see what was inside the boats.
Opposite these villagers was a group of people whose figures were completely hidden in yellow robes. The leader's robe had a strange dark red pattern painted on it, which looked exactly the same as the one on the poster.
"Have you brought all the goods?" A hoarse voice came from under the leader's hood.
Eugene said flatteringly: "Don't worry, sir, there will be absolutely no problem with the goods this time."
The leader looked around at the ships and angrily kicked Eugene: "Why are there so few?"
Eugene fell to the ground with a bitter face: "There is nothing we can do, sir, there are really not many people coming here, and we can't find a stable source of goods at all."
"Idiot, as long as we can offer enough sacrifices to that lord, we can join the legendary manor. Then you can realize your wish of getting something for nothing, and we can also see the face of the Lord God. But you use these things to perfunctorily deal with me?" The leader looked very angry.
As Eugene explained, Conan noticed the plastic sheeting on one of the boats shift slightly. Sensing something, Conan quietly approached, cut a hole with a knife, and peered inside. Inside the boat was a young girl, her hands and feet bound and her mouth sealed.
Conan was horrified. It was this smuggling! These damned fellows! It looked like only a small number of villagers were cooperating with these robed men, but the majority of the villagers probably turned a blind eye to the matter, as could be seen from their initial attitude towards Miss Grace.
Thinking of this, Conan turned around and wanted to leave to inform everyone, but was pushed to the ground by a man in a yellow robe: "Chief, there is a child here."
"This child is a tourist who came from outside today and cannot be offered as a sacrifice," Marjorie explained.
"What?" The leader grabbed Conan by the neck. "Kid, running around will cost you."
Conan endured the pain of suffocation and secretly shot the man with an anesthetic needle. The leader was stabbed by the anesthetic needle and fell to the ground as soon as Conan loosened his grip. Conan took the opportunity to release the football from his belt and shot the man in front of him at close range.
The leader's face came into close contact with the football, and the hood he used to cover his face slipped off, and he fell to the ground. Conan saw a face covered with strange purple-red lumps under the hood.
[Mercenary: Lucky's character creation skills have improved again.]
[Lucky: Honestly, I originally wanted to make it look like it had tentacles and eyes, but... if the psychological acceptance wasn't good enough, I'd probably spit it out, so I gave up on that idea.]
[Entomologist: If you have this ability, you can go straight to work at DDD.]
[Gardener: What is that?]
[Novelist: It is said to be a pseudo-human prevention and control organization from another world, aiming to eliminate all pseudo-humans.]
[Puppeteer: There are still many good organizations in the world.]
[Knight: Florian, be careful not to run into them.]
[Fire Investigator: I am not a fake person!]
[Ms. Farrow: That’s what the fake people say.]
[Air Force: Please say one sentence to prove that you are not a fake person.]
[Forward: I'll bring a double-bomb flywheel, and I'll choose to fall in the window, in the corner, or in the open space depending on the lineup. I'm really not a fake person!]
[Adventurer: No, this is a fake person.]
[Perfumer: Please say one sentence to prove that you are not a fake person.]
[Forward: Vera, is she just repeating Marta's words? Aren't my words sincere and heartfelt?]
[Mechanic: As we all know, the nature of human beings is...]
[Prisoner: It's a perpetual motion machine!]
[Hermit: (holding his forehead) The unhealthy practices in the manor must be corrected immediately.]
Conan was no match for four people with his two fists, and was soon pinned to the ground by several people again.
"Kid!" The leader's face was ferocious, and the swelling on his face made it even more unbearable. "Get ready to feed the fish!"
Just when the group was about to throw Conan into the sea, the leader suddenly screamed, and it turned out that a small emerald green snake had bitten him.
"Why is there an emerald green snake in this place?"
Before the man could continue his rant, the professor, Darren, and a group of FBI agents surrounded him. "Well done, Darren. We found you."
However, if you counted the number of people, the villagers on the other side plus the members of the sect totaled about ten. On this side, there were Shuichi Akai, Judy, Cameron, three agents, Conan, the professor, and Darren. Considering the skills of the FBI agents, the professor's ability to transform into a lizard, and the obvious Darren and the fake child Conan, the sect was completely defeated.
However, the sect members felt that the advantage was in numbers! The leader directly commanded the villagers and the sect members to capture Conan and his group.
The professor sneered, "You're courting death."
Soon, Conan knocked all the people on the opposite side to the ground. The leader was still lying on the ground wailing: "Just wait, our God will come to save us!"
The professor couldn't help but sneer, "Lord God? Which Lord God? You can't even get your own god's divine pattern wrong, and you still expect the god to save you, a bunch of unfaithful believers?"
"Oh, and Uncle Hasta likes to eat mushroom and white sauce pasta, he doesn't eat human flesh," Darren added.
