How to become a mermaid

Chapter 332 New Development

"In short... In just a few years, this fabricated [Life Cult] has continued to grow, affecting creatures thousands of miles away, and attracting many devout believers to come for pilgrimage."

"Why do they have such a big influence? Is it just because of the teachings?" Hearing what Leon said, Pochi asked a little puzzled.

He is a fish that is not very interested in religious beliefs, and he is completely unable to understand the thinking of those devout believers.

In his opinion, instead of spending time praying to so-and-so, it is more useful to rely on oneself.

"It's not just this one reason!" Leon shook his head and said, "In addition to having a teaching that most creatures yearn for, the Life Cult also gives benefits to the believers."

"One of the biggest benefits is to help believers find a partner!"

"The kind that will help you find again after breaking up, and guarantee that you can get out of the order!"

"Huh? That's amazing! No wonder they can develop!" As soon as he heard about helping find a partner, Pochi immediately understood.

This kind of temptation is simply a crit damage to a single dog, so who can bear it!
"Actually... this is also a conspiracy!" Leon suddenly lowered his voice, and said to Boqi with a serious expression: "Most of the people they introduce to believers are from different races!"

"The purpose of this is to create a large number of hybrids and test the belief value that hybrids can provide!"

"Human beings have so many gaudy intestines..." Pochi sighed.

Leon also nodded, and said in a firm tone: "Yes, if the matter hadn't been exposed, no one would have thought that this sect of life, which advertises freedom and equality, is actually just an illusion fabricated by a group of racists!"

"Then how did they expose it? How did this sea area become like this again?"

"Just fabricating a false sect to deceive believers, shouldn't it be a heinous thing?" Pochi asked curiously.

"Because they crossed the line!" Having said this, Leon's tone became much more serious.

"After several years of trying, they have tested a method that allows believers to maximize the output of faith!"

"A hybrid between a civet and a human can provide a huge amount of faith, even more than their parents combined."

"That's why the people of the Sacred Fire Sect secretly bred this kind of human-cat hybrids, and kept them in the underground base."

"These artificially created hybrids undergo brainwashing every day, and under the manipulation of the Holy Fire Sect, they become mind-numbed fanatics of the Holy Fire Sect!"

"I don't have my own thoughts, and I don't have freedom. Apart from eating and sleeping, the only thing I have to do is to kneel down and pray to the [Holy Spirit] day and night."

"As the power of the Sacred Fire Cult grew, their underground breeding base became larger and larger, and it finally showed its clues one day."

"A curious civet accidentally broke into the underground base and discovered their conspiracy."

"When things first came to light, those Holy Fire believers definitely didn't admit it, and even poured dirty water on the civets who exposed them, publicizing that civets can spread some kind of deadly infectious disease."

"Under their manipulation, the civets in this sea area were arrested and imprisoned one after another. They were imprisoned in the underground base on the grounds of medical treatment, and became a new batch of experimental subjects!"

"Most of the civets have had their prefrontal lobes cut off and become breeding tools that will not resist. The group of human-cat hybrids that humans need is mass-produced in the underground base!"

"Maomao is really miserable, how could they treat Maomao like this!"

"Is there no one to help these civets?" Boqi said with a distressed face.

"Yes!" Leon nodded and said, "Many civets live in human homes, and are treated as part of the family by the residents of the island."

"The civet was taken away for "treatment" and did not come back for a long time. Many people became suspicious and began to ask people from the Sacred Fire Cult for an explanation!"

"In order to silence these people, the Holy Fire believers selected some civets and returned them to the residents of the island."

"The fact that the civets became "stupid" was quickly discovered by the residents."

"The Holy Fire believers fabricated all kinds of lies, while delaying time, they secretly transferred the experimental objects in the underground base."

"But they were finally exposed!"

"Among the civets whose frontal lobes had been removed, there was a gifted and intelligent civet who regained some sanity and told others about what happened to him in the underground base."

"Knowing the truth of the matter, the residents of the island were shocked!"

"Led by the civet, the furious people rushed into the church of the Holy Fire Cult, found their underground base, and saw the victims who were imprisoned and brainwashed!"

"The truth is completely revealed. The residents of the island and those believers who were deceived by the Holy Fire Cult have united the front and started to sue those Holy Fire Cultists!"

"Seeing that the matter was exposed, those Holy Fire believers stopped pretending, and completely tore their faces and suppressed these rebels with force!"

"And then... an unprecedented war began!"

"Hundreds of races, tens of thousands of creatures, fought with the Holy Fire Cultists."

"Because those holy fire believers were too powerful, the war lasted for three full days, with corpses everywhere and blood flowing like rivers."

"All the creatures are blinded and have fallen into a state of madness. There is even a trend of getting worse and worse. It gradually develops outwards and evolves into small-scale wars against humans!"

"The creatures in other surrounding sea areas knew the truth about the Sacred Fire Sect, and they also started to attack the nearby humans."

"Seeing that things were about to end, humans, marine life, and the leaders of our dragon clan all rushed here, and this stopped the expansion of this disaster."

"However, it is regrettable that those Holy Fire believers committed suicide en masse after seeing that the situation was wrong, leaving no one alive."

"The content of the research on beliefs is still found in the notes they left behind."

"After the war, this sea area has been greatly affected."

"According to legend, many people have heard the crying of innocent souls in the middle of the night, and lost their way while walking in broad daylight.

"This series of abnormal phenomena made the residents living on the island panic, and the surrounding fish also avoided this place and fled to other places."

"If it's just these things, it's nothing unusual. However, as time goes by, there are more and more strange things, and even mass suicides of residents appear."

"And what's weird is that their postures when they committed suicide were exactly the same as those of the Holy Fire Cultists when they died. They all knelt on their knees, raised their hands high, and passed away with strange smiles on their faces."

"Not only that, but where they committed suicide, they even left the mark of the Holy Fire Cult."

Hearing this, Pochi couldn't help interjecting, and asked Leon, "What does that mark look like?"

"Is it a big circle in the middle, with a triangular bird head drawn inside, and then there is a long line above the circle, and three short lines that branch outwards are connected under the circle."

"How do you know?" Hearing Pochi's description, Leon asked in surprise.

"I've seen it at the bottom of the sea! There are many skeletons of creatures on the bottom of the sea, and a pile of black stones arranged in this shape, and there are murals on each stone..."

Pochi briefly described the contents of the mural, which aroused Leon's interest, and said, "Oh, take me to see those stones later! If I'm not mistaken, it should be the holy flame." What remains of the believers!"

"Yes! I'll take you there!" Pochi readily agreed to Leon's request.

After finishing speaking, he asked Leon again: "What happened later? Where did the people here go? They didn't all commit suicide, did they?"

If so, that's really scary.

"That's not true!" Leon shook his head and continued: "After learning about the strange things that happened here, the human side sent people to intervene."

"In order to prevent the Sacred Flame Sect from counterattacking, or to keep some backhands here, humans have temporarily blocked this sea area."

"This sea area has become a restricted area. Residents on the island have been relocated to other places, and the civets have also scattered to various places. They no longer live with humans, but are integrated into the cat populations in other areas."

"At the same time, in order to prevent other creatures from rushing in, nodules have been set up on several islands here, and they are hidden by special methods."

"Until the last 100 years or so, this area of ​​the sea has not been reopened."

"However, the enchantment on the island has not completely disappeared, so people who don't know the truth often enter here and get lost, only to reappear after a long time."

"It often happens that some people come here and see the island, but the next group of people can't find the island when they come here."

"So...there was actually a war here? It seems that my deduction was wrong!" After hearing what Leon said, Pochi thumped his head and said with some regret.

Mistake, I didn't expect human beings to be so deadly!

The witty Pochi was swayed by humans...

Rubbing his chin with his hand, Pochi said thoughtfully: "The disappearance of Moni and the others must be related to the nodules on the island?"

"As long as the barrier is untied, they will come out?"

"If there is no accident, it should be like this!" Leon said with certainty.

"Then do you know how to unlock the barrier?" Pochi asked again.

"This... seems to have something to do with time." Leon flicked his tail, and said after a little thought: "At the beginning and end of each month, as well as at dawn and sunset every day, the enchantment will become weaker. .”

"During these time periods, there is a certain probability that the barrier will be broken automatically, or it may not be broken. It needs a little help from external force to fully open."

"As long as I find the right place, I should be able to break through these barriers with a little effort!"

"Wow~" Pochi cheered when he heard Leon's words.

He threw himself forward and hugged Leon's head forcefully, and said excitedly, "Leon, you are really amazing! Knowing so many things is really helping me a lot!"

"Now just wait for the sunrise. If it wasn't for you, I don't know how many detours I would have to take!"

Boqi is really happy now, his big brother is really not in vain!
"Hey~!" Hearing Pochi's praise, Leon showed a smile of "evil charm and wildness" on his face, and said arrogantly and confidently: "I don't even look at who I am! How can I be your big brother if I have no ability?" !"

"Yeah! Big brother is amazing!" Pochi gave a thumbs up and praised loudly.

……

While Pochi and Leon were waiting for the sunrise, there was a new situation at the North Pole.

The investigation team sent by Zoro seems to have found the trace of the mysterious man!

This is a U-shaped small island, not too big, covered with lush vegetation, looks very natural and primitive, it seems that no one has set foot in it.

However, on the southwest side of the island, there is a drain leading directly to the seabed, from which a steady stream of sewage gushes out and flows into the sea.

The few fish that tracked here immediately noticed the abnormality and locked their targets on this island.

"Brothers, are we in the right place now?" Damien Pusipsi whispered.

It is a 【Shadow Ray】.

Different from other rays, the shadow ray is completely black, even its abdomen is black. It is impossible to tell the front from the back without opening the mouth. The body is more than ten meters wide, and the appearance of swimming in the water looks like a Like a walking curtain.

In such a dark night, Damien's unique body color became the best protective color, making it seem to blend in with the surrounding environment.

"I think that guy is on this island. Look at the dirty sewage. There is definitely a secret base on this island!" A voice sounded from Damien's back.

The talking fish is called Punky Dale, and it is a 【Venomous Sucker Fish】.

The biggest feature of this fish is that there is a huge suction cup on its abdomen, which allows it to be firmly attached to other fish.

Moreover, they also have abnormally rich pigment cells on their body surfaces, which can freely change the color of their bodies.

At this time, Punk's body color was as dark as Damien's, and the two fish were almost perfectly integrated into one body.

"Then what are we going to do now? Should we just raid them and arrest them, or notify Pike and the others first?" Another voice sounded from Damien's stomach.

From Damien's mouth, a [Colorful Eel] no bigger than a palm came out.

It is Goodman Willie, one of Zorro's best friends.

The seven-colored eel and the lamprey are close relatives. They both have a mouth that can scare people to death. When it opens, it is full of circles of teeth. However, compared to the ugly lamprey, the seven-colored eel is more colorful. A little brighter, the epidermis is covered with a layer of scales that can reflect colorful light.

Because the color is too eye-catching and he likes to drill holes, Goodliman simply got into Damien's mouth and was swam all the way here by it.

"Why choose? Can't arresting people and notifying Pike go together?" Damien said.

"Let Omir stay here to report the news, we will rush to the island to arrest people, and then we can directly report the good news to Pike!"

Omir, referring to Pike's grandson, is also the correspondent of their line of fish.

It was lying on a seabed reef at this time, disguising itself as an ordinary octopus passing by.

"Wonderful! Just do it!"

Da Mingde's idea was unanimously recognized by the other fishes in an instant.

All the fish turned their heads together and looked at Omir who hadn't spoken much.

Under the gaze of these pairs of eyes, Omir twisted his tentacles uncomfortably, and said, "I have no problem! I listen to you!"

"Then it's decided! Brothers, let's go!" With Omir's consent, Da Mingde shook his body twice, and took his two brothers straight to the island.

It was very fast, but it disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

Seeing them leave, Omir lay down on the reef, trying to communicate with Pike.

　As you all know, I have only had one small goal all along, and that is to reach [-] uniforms.

　　But it has not been achieved, 460, 470 has been stuck for more than two months and I just can’t go up. I am really tired when I look at the ups and downs of the value every day.

　　Even if you continue to persist, the result is the same.

　　So I decided to finish this book as soon as possible. There are about a hundred thousand (maybe less) words left, and it will be over.
