Chapter 869 Mind Your Own Business

All residents of Pirion Village gathered at the edge of the swamp, and when the sun was about to set, the sacrificial ceremony officially began.

Three young men carried the Bisi pole, walked through the crowd to the edge of the swamp, and inserted the totem pole into the wet soil.

Then, a group of men and women, whose hands were tied with straw ropes and connected in a chain, came to the side of the field under the escort of spear-wielding warriors.

These prisoners looked depressed, most of them had marks of beatings on their bodies, and their eyes were full of fear and despair.

Gao Fei asked Pep and learned that they were all captives captured during the last attack on Xiulu Village, and were selected as sacrifices for the Bisi celebration ceremony.

These lambs to be slaughtered obviously knew their upcoming fate.

In the past, in their own village, they had also witnessed what kind of fate the captured enemies would encounter.

The two were no different.

The last person to appear on the stage was Andre, the "Crocodile", the current ruler of Pirion Village.

Exactly the same as the legend, this man was three meters tall, with an animal skin apron wrapped around his waist, revealing his muscular upper body and thick legs. The surface of his skin was covered with a thick layer of scales, which shone like an emerald in the sunset.

Even more shocking was his head, which looked exactly like a crocodile, with a wide and powerful long snout tightly closed and sharp fangs at the corners of his mouth.

As soon as Andre appeared on the stage, he firmly attracted everyone's attention. The villagers raised their arms and cheered him enthusiastically.

Gao Fei stood in the crowd, looking at "Crocodile" Andre, the fifth-ranked apostle of the Holy Blood Knights, calmly.

His sight quickly shifted to the giant crocodile next to Andre.

This giant crocodile was 15 meters long from head to tail, and it must be Andre's partner "Crocodile Angel".

In addition to its huge size, what impressed Gao Fei most was the tail of the Crocodile Angel.

The tail of this monster swells up like an onion, resembling the inflatable bag of an old-fashioned blower, and looks very strange.

Gao Fei knew that the twelve angels of the Holy Blood Knights were all secondary mutated monsters.

The prototype of the crocodile angel is a not-so-uncommon mutated giant crocodile, and the onion-shaped bulge on its tail must be the product of another mutation after taking the hero drug.

Out of curiosity, Gao Fei asked Brother Pep.

"The tail of the crocodile angel is hollow, which can absorb water and store it, and spray it out in battle, with great destructive power."

Pep had fought with the crocodile angel before, and recalled the experience of being hit by the high-pressure water cannon at its tail, and couldn't help showing a lingering fear.

"So that's it."

Gao Fei nodded suddenly, secretly calculating how to crack the hydraulic cannon at the tail of the crocodile angel when a conflict occurs in the future.

There were a total of 40 captives escorted to the edge of the swamp, including men, women, old and young.

Andre personally selected 12 healthy captives from these captives as sacrifices.

The rest of the captives were either old, weak, sick or seriously injured in the battle.

Andre declared that these disabled people were not worthy of being sacrificed in the sacred ceremony and were imprisoned as usual.

The oldest shaman in the village of Pirian, with colorful tattoos on his face and lime all over his body, held a dagger made of the leg bone of a crane camel in both hands for the sacrificial ceremony and raised it solemnly above his head.

Andre took the dagger from the shaman and turned to the captives standing side by side by the water.

At the last moment of their lives, these sacrifices screamed and cried desperately, trying to escape.

However, their struggle was useless. They were forced back by the warriors on guard around them with spears after running out of two steps.

Andre, as tall as an iron tower, picked out women and children from the twelve sacrifices, one in each hand, like playing with a toy doll, stabbed them one by one with a dagger, pushed them into the swamp, and let them roll and wail in the mud.

The crocodiles lurking in the swamp were soon attracted by the smell of blood and greedily chased their prey.

Groups of crocodiles hunted six injured women and children, and the result would not be suspenseful.

Screams came one after another, and the water surface was dyed scarlet.

Gao Fei watched the sacrifice scene with mixed feelings.

The cruelty and bloodiness of this sacrifice did not surprise him.

What really surprised him was that he could stand by and silently endure this tragedy happening before his eyes.

This feeling was like watching a disaster movie in a theater. It cannot be said that he was not touched in his heart. He sympathized with the victims and was disgusted with the perpetrators, but the emotions were not so strong that he was furious and had to stop this barbaric blood sacrifice.

Why is this?

Gao Fei fell into deep thought.

Before coming, Tang Ning said that the reason why Pep was unwilling to bring Jiang Feng and others to visit the Bixi celebration ceremony was that he was worried that they were either young and impulsive, or their sympathy and sense of justice were too strong, and they could not help but meddle in other people's business.

However, Pep seemed to think that it was no problem to bring Gao Fei to watch the blood sacrifice.

Gao Fei was not the youngest special police officer in the team.

Could it be that after spending some time together, Brother Pep had seen through that Gao Fei was no longer aggressive despite his youth; or that he was a sophisticated egoist at heart?

In past duty missions, Gao Fei risked his life more than once to save people from disasters. It would be unfair to say that he lacked sympathy and sense of justice.

However, he did not seem to have such strong sympathy for the Asmat people in front of him, who were different from him in skin color, language and cultural background...

If it was his compatriots who were used as living sacrifices, Gao Fei felt that he would have been unable to resist and take action.

It seems that although he works for a public welfare organization that transcends national boundaries and even dimensions, his thoughts are not truly equal and selfless, and he still cannot break away from the narrow concept of nationalism.

There is no way, everyone has to face their true self. Gao Fei laughed bitterly at himself and turned to ask Pep and Tang Ning:

"Living people are being slaughtered in the name of religious sacrifice. We have the ability to stop this tragedy, but we just stand by and watch. Is this really good?"

Tang Ning did not say anything, hesitating, and was obviously struggling in his heart.

Pep shook his head, staring at Gao Fei solemnly, and warned him again: "Mind your own business!"

"Brother Pep is right, we'd better mind our own business." Tang Ning finally chose to consider the overall situation. "Unless we completely eliminate the source of the revival of the blood sacrifice custom, the two apostles of the Holy Blood Knights, 'Crocodile' Andre and 'Blade' Simon, we can only manage for a while, but not for a lifetime."

"Our Pirion Village is already relatively civilized. The people in Xiulu Village are more barbaric. If they catch our people, the whole village will share them!" Pep said with a gloomy face.
