Tianjin people will never lose SAN

Chapter 448: Kogan's Fantasy Adventure (Part )
Three human figures lay face down on three sacrificial platforms made from hollowed-out giant trees.

Although the materials are primitive, the altar on the grass has an exquisite structure. The front end is a hollow semicircle that is slightly larger than a human skull, while the back half is a rough wooden bed with large and small wood carvings around it.

The woodcarving style is desolate, and the carving content expresses the long journey that people go through from birth, from childhood to adulthood and finally returning to old age...

The wood carving ends here, because the end point of the circle is the concave semicircle at the front end.

The reason why they say three human figures instead of three people is that when they approached, only half of the torso behind the cavity was left of one of the villagers.

The blood-stained gavel used by the executioner, leaning against the altar, reminded Shi Weitian and the others what had just happened here.

"Reproduction, blessing, and eternity are the gifts bestowed upon us by Uwe of Rielkos. You have just witnessed what reproduction is, and now you will witness eternity."

Eternity! What a joke! Kogan clearly saw that there was a wooden bowl under the wooden altar, and sticky blood plasma was dripping into it through the hole under the semicircular groove.

The villagers around him skillfully stripped off the deerskin clothes and antler crown worn by the deceased. They had expressionless faces, as if they had just crushed an orange.

"I just did it like that?"

Kogan said dryly after returning to reality.

"Well, with your bare hands and your mouth shouting, but even if you don't take action, we should be able to intervene, after all, the villagers who are executing the villagers are ready to swing the gavel again."

His memory became confused again after that. Kou Gang only remembered that the two groups of people were fighting each other. When they saw him taking action, the captain and his men also rushed forward and fought with the villagers.

The other party was obviously not prepared enough for Shi Weitian's sudden attack.

Our side was not prepared for action, so neither side attacked with any fatal force at the first opportunity.

The back of his head was hit by a wooden hammer during the chaos.

"What happened afterwards? Did we go to war with the heretics on the island?"

"Haha, if a war really breaks out, can I still chop wood by the stream? Can you still sleep peacefully in the villagers' house?"

"That's true."

Kougan had no idea how his reckless action would end.

"It was Ricky. He went to negotiate with the mentor named Axomama. He first expressed his apologies and said that he had no intention of interfering with the traditional rituals of the people on the island.

And then…”

It was unclear whether Lin Brown was intentionally keeping the audience in suspense or was thinking about how to use logical expressions to interpret Liu Yonglu's performance yesterday. Anyway, he put out the cigarette in his hand and lit another one.

“He told the people on the island that he tried to stop them because he despised the islanders’ crude sacrifices of life transmission, and insisted that he had a more sophisticated method to purify life and soul.

He then described in simple terms how he, as a counselor to the order in Sexel County, taught pagans how to transfer souls in an alchemical cauldron.

I think that was a special case that Ricky had solved before. Anyway, in the end he managed to get the forbidden liquor that someone had made.

The wine is kept in the basement of our Special Investigation Department. I have seen it.

Later, after Millie Don became his partner and analyzed the composition of wine, Ricky gave Millie Don's research results to the islanders.

The islanders now estimate that..."

Lin Brown frowned in disbelief:

"They probably think we are heretics who came from nowhere. Besides, Mr. Shani also revealed his true identity when he attacked us yesterday."

Kougan stood there in amazement, he moved his lips twice, not knowing what to say.

The bloody and cruel life transfer spell, and the gods' followers around him, all together it does seem like it's the right thing, but somehow something is wrong...

"So...what should we do now? Where are the captain and others?"

After a long pause, Kou Gang slowly asked.

"Let's wait for now. The plan remains unchanged for now. Let's try to make it to the day of the celebration."

Linbrand bent down and tied the firewood tightly with the rope he had used to hang clothes for Kogan:
"Take the firewood to Ricky for me. He and Mr. Shani are in the kitchen over there. They said they want to prepare a barbecue tonight."

Lin Blan pointed in a direction, and Kogan looked and saw a wisp of smoke rising in the distance. "By the way, Lin Blan, how did my clothes get dirty? Did we fight?"

Kogan rolled up Lindbergh's vest into a ball and threw it to him.

"No, it got dirty when we were having dinner yesterday. You can ask Ricky for the details. You were sitting next to him at the time. As for this shirt, I'll give it to you, but you must make sure Ricky changes into his shirt."

Lin Brown threw the vest back to Kogan with a look of mischief on his face.

……

In the stone kitchen, Liu Yonglu and the fat man Shani were sitting on small wooden stools. In front of them was a large wooden basin filled with marinated rabbit meat and venison. Next to them was a plate filled with skewers of meat that the two had skewered.

"What a pity! This unfortunate place has neither onions, ginger, nor cooking wine."

Liu Yonglu held the skewer of meat under his nose and smelled it. Deer meat had a special smell, and it would have smelled a bit bad without those seasonings. Fortunately, he had cumin and pepper in the bag he carried when he got off the boat.

"Master, take a break. Please tell me about the forbidden spell called "Drinking Order" when you have time. I don't remember it clearly yesterday."

Mr. Shani had a big body and the bench under his butt was too small. He curled up into a ball of flesh and buried himself on the ground, threading meat skewers, which looked very funny.

"Okay, I'll go wash the vegetables first. Your mistress doesn't like meat that much, so she prefers some vegetarian dishes when it comes to barbecue."

After washing his hands, Liu Yonglu started picking vegetables. Just at this moment, the door opened and Kou Gang walked in and returned the clothes to Liu Yonglu first.

"Captain, thank you for your shirt, otherwise I would be naked."

"Hey, are you awake? Otherwise, young people recover quickly, and there are no sequelae, right? Let me ask you, what festival is in April?"

"Random threading of yarn, threading of yarn festival..."

Kou Gang was afraid that Liu Yonglu would not wear it, so he quickly put the loincloth he had just worn on the captain.

"Okay, it doesn't matter, it works pretty well."

"Captain, why were my clothes dirty yesterday?"

"Oh, clothes! Hey, boy, you were blessed with love yesterday! Someone fell in love with you!"

Liu Yonglu winked at Kou Gang while picking vegetables.

"Falling in on me?"

"Yes, I like you. Good fellow, that girl, I don't know what she ate when she was young, she must have been overnourished! That figure... there's no cure!

Fortunately, I was smart at the time and saw through the other party's beauty trap at a glance, and knocked over the porridge I brought to you and splashed it all over you.

That's how you were able to keep your innocence! Thank me now."

Liu Yonglu's reminder made Kou Gang remember that he and the people on the boat were having dinner with the islanders outdoors. A girl with a ponytail and two dimples on her face walked towards him with a smile.

I didn't know what was happening to me at the time. I felt like I was possessed. My heartbeat quickened, my breathing became rapid, and an impulse beyond instinct sprouted in my heart.

That was definitely not a simple mutual admiration between opposite sexes. Evil and dirty thoughts kept emerging in his head. At this moment, Kougan felt shameful and ashamed even when he was standing in the kitchen.

"Captain... Thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have almost..."

Kougan thanked him stammeringly while he piled the firewood on his shoulders into a corner to hide his red cheeks.

"Don't be so anxious to thank me. I guess this matter is not over yet."

"Don't worry, Captain. Yesterday... I was just affected by that strange drink. I must resist temptation in the future and not give these extremes any chance to take advantage of me."

"Hey, you unlucky kid! Who told you to be so restrained? I was here this morning to think of a way for you to turn the tables and sacrifice yourself for the greater good."

Liu Yonglu turned around and pointed at Kou Gang with the corn in his hand.

"Ah!? What do you mean?"

"Yesterday I saw another girl grabbing Mustang by the collar and bringing him into the islanders' temple. In a couple of days... well, try your best to follow my instructions and fetch a few things for me!"
