Interstellar Reaper

After another detailed discussion with the garrison, Wells went to rest at the place they arranged.

Although he insists on coming, in fact, there is no room for him to intervene in this matter. As an outsider, his actions on this planet without foundation must be inferior to that of the garrison, so it is better not to intervene, just wait for the news just fine.

After taking a shower to get rid of his fatigue, Wells, who was only wearing trousers and a shirt, lacked the rigor and coldness of his military uniform. His short golden hair was messy with moisture, and a few drops of water dripped down the ends of his hair onto his pure white hair. On the shirt, small flakes of different colors appeared, and even mischievous ones fell directly on the open chest. The crystal clear water droplets rolled into the shirt tightly against the strong and powerful chest muscles, giving an indescribable charm.

Sitting relaxed on the sofa, raising his hand to brush the obstructive hair on his forehead, all these actions are casual and careless, but they have the charm and nobility of a mature man, and their laziness is unbelievable.

After closing his eyes for a moment of dozing, when he opened them again, the fatigue in the blue eyes receded, Wells resumed his old style again, pulled out the materials and started working.

Since seeing that black shadow for the second time, Wells has done a lot of investigations. Even since humans left the earth and began to search for a place to live in the universe, a large amount of documents have been lost due to various reasons, especially about Myths and legends are seen by most people as just the material of the story, and the original documents are almost impossible to find.But some parts are still well preserved.

From the filter of the earth era to the early days of the interstellar era, religion also existed, but as time went by, more and more people no longer believed in gods, and they believed more that their abilities were the power of technology, and gods became an inexhaustible The representatives of science have been abandoned by time, and those religions have gradually become lonely. A large number of related materials have not been properly preserved because they are not valued. They are just piled up in the database of the Federal Library, and no one is interested in them. .

Wells discovered them only after he found that the relevant materials could not be found on the Internet, and went to several major libraries on the main star. It was only because the age was too long that most of the materials were damaged and completely unreadable. The handwriting is also blurred, and the words recorded are not the common language used now, but various languages ​​​​from all over the world. In order to understand these, he added Several ancient Earth languages ​​caused a storm at the time.

Fortunately, these efforts were not in vain. Although he could not understand all the documents and books, Wells could finally understand those books after several years of study.

Then he plunged into the ocean of those ancient books, hoping to find out what that black shadow was.

This is not an easy task. You must know that no matter when, the meaning of the god of death is bad, even evil. Therefore, there are very few records about this aspect, but it is also very easy to find , because Wells knew the characteristics of Sombra.

Black robe, sickle, harvest soul.

The three combined into one, and after searching carefully, the term "death god" jumped into his eyes immediately.Even if he didn't read the introduction later, he immediately decided that there is no better definition for that black shadow than this.

In Wells' mind, after he knew the answer, he should give up and continue searching. Even if he didn't know how dangerous that person was, the meaning of this word was enough to shock everyone.

Fear of death is a biological instinct.

But he didn't. Wells found inconceivably that after knowing what the black shadow was, not only did he not lose his desire to explore, but he even plunged into it out of control.

As if bewitched, he read every book he could find, and intercepted all the deeds about the God of Death from it, no matter which mythology system it belonged to, how absurd it seemed.

This situation continued until he graduated from school and entered the army. The busy work and tasks left him no time to look for more related books.

But now, these materials may also come in handy. Does this count as making the best use of everything?Wells thought to himself, while pulling out the materials that he had already classified according to different mythological systems, hoping to find out the materials about the sacrifices from them—even if he had already seen these things clearly.

Sacrificial offerings, as the name suggests, are items used in sacrificial offerings.According to different races and different regions, the forms of sacrifices are also very rich, including animals such as pigs, cows, sheep, and chickens, as well as plants, and clothing and other items.In ancient times and ignorant times, even living people were used as sacrifices; during the Taizu period, there were also cases of burial and sacrifice with living people, which was very cruel.

Using humans as sacrifices to sacrifice to the gods is called "employing people" in ancient books, and "human sacrifice" in later generations.Human sacrifice has occurred not only in primitive religions, but also in religions in later stages of development. This is the darkest page in the history of religion.Therefore, there are very few relevant materials. Wells recalled almost all the content and looked through the materials again, only to find some sporadically.

I really don’t know how those people came up with the idea of ​​using human sacrifices to summon that person. According to the books he read, there is almost no information about summoning gods, especially the one who summoned. This may be because the definition of that person in religion has always been Evil incarnate?

But these are no longer questions that can be answered. Wells can only find clues about the sacrifice in these sporadic records.

Babies, virgins, or pure girls are all representatives of purity, and are the best choice for sacrifices in the materials, but no matter which records are mentioned, except for the dark age of religion that used human Apart from sacrifices, only evil gods would ask for such sacrifices.

Great, it seems that he is looking in the right direction, Wells raised his eyebrows, then took out the communicator, and relayed the situation to Brigadier General Naomi Marbitt.

"You can check the list of the most recent missing persons to see if anyone fits these characteristics, if they choose to hold a ceremony here."

Brigadier General Naomi Marbitt's expression was a bit dignified. The 13 sacrifices represented 13 human lives. At the same time, if the objects chosen for these sacrifices were really as Wells said, the value of human life would be even more precious and less valuable. valuable.

"Has Major General Wells ever been to Hermer?" Hermer is the name of this planet.

His tone was heavy, and he didn't seem to be asking such an extremely common question at all.

"Not at all." Wells spent the first 20 years of his time on various studies, and the rest was given to the army. He always went to the most dangerous front lines or explored unknown planets. Tourist places were never on his itinerary, and he had no interest.

"Then you must not know that Herme not only has the most famous fashion capital, but also has the most notorious black market."

Wells answered him this way: "I know this. In the Dark Realm, whether it's rare gems and antiques, or rare creatures or arms that are prohibited from being sold, they will sell everything as long as you give them money."

"Of course, humans are also on the list."

All black markets are the same, the only difference is the size, how could he not know this?

Brigadier General Naomi Marbitt was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered the identity of the young man in front of him. How could he have forgotten that the reason why this young man could climb so fast and so high was because he had enough merits? ?

In peaceful times, except for small-scale wars, only those dangerous and dark tasks can bring the most merit.

The black market is nothing special to the young man in front of him.

After regaining consciousness, Naomi Mabitt smiled, and quickly returned to her previous expression: "It's also because we forgot this, so I'll send someone over to investigate."

"It's useless. People in the black market have their own rules for doing business. They won't disclose the identity of the customers." Otherwise, the business would have been impossible. "Even if they were disclosed, the information would not be true."

This is the black market, they only look at the money, it doesn't matter who you are or what you want to buy.

"Unless you charge a price that makes them reveal that."

And obviously, the military would not pay the price of letting the opponent's lion speak for the lives of a dozen people. The reason why they paid attention to this matter was because there were soldiers in it, otherwise this matter would have been handed over to the local police The agency has dealt with it.

"So, if they are preparing sacrifices from this aspect, then we can only wait to catch them on the spot."
