American variety show world begins with subduing Jason

There is no danger in the lake 'now,' but what about before?

Just a few days ago, were there any dangers lurking in the lake?

Just now, when Zhu Mingyao heard the old professor speak his predetermined 'line' under the control of the forces behind the scenes, he suddenly realized a problem.

—The questions we asked in yesterday's divination were incorrect!

There was no danger in the water yesterday, but what about the day before yesterday?

Using his thoughts as a thread, he strung together the various clues and arrived at a somewhat baffling conjecture:

There are indeed dangerous creatures in Lake Victoria, and it is very likely that they are piranhas that have been deliberately released and manipulated by the mastermind behind the scenes!

According to the original plan, those creatures were supposed to launch a brutal attack on visitors to the water music festival yesterday, just like in the original movie plot.

However, for some unknown reason, the piranhas suddenly disappeared without a trace at a certain point in time, which led Michelle and her two companions to repeatedly consult the oracle and still conclude that there was no danger at present.

Because there was indeed no danger at the time!

However, this is not a reason to be complacent. Since it has been deduced that someone behind the scenes wants to use the music festival to plan a massacre of tourists, Zhu Mingyao naturally cannot sit idly by.

From the public's perspective, those are the lives of thousands of innocent people, including many elderly, weak, women and children. Any person with normal values ​​would find it difficult to let them all die tragically.

Personally speaking, the person behind this plotted a large-scale conspiracy involving the murder of so many people. If I find him and kill him, I'll definitely earn a considerable amount of reward points!

"what?"

Urged on by her fiancé, and ignoring her two best friends' procrastination, the most obedient Michelle quickly completed a quick divination, the result of which surprised her.

She opened her beautiful eyes wide and stroked the small, elegant portable divination board.

There really is a problem!

Michelle excitedly told her two companions.

"The results showed that Milio's guess was correct; there was indeed danger in the lake a few days ago. I saw a shadow of death sweep across it!"

The two little witches exchanged a surprised glance. Zoe ran back to her room and retrieved a gleaming silver mirror. Together with her companion, they used their secret magic to begin their investigation.

When the same divination result came out, everyone's expressions became serious.

Madison forced a smile. "Don't look so gloomy. The feedback shows there was danger a while ago, but nothing's wrong now. We'll just notify the authorities to investigate..."

"Well."

Michelle gasped softly, her body suddenly swaying. The solid concrete path beneath her feet seemed to instantly turn into a cotton ball, causing her to stumble and sway from side to side.

A long, muscular arm arrived just in time and pulled the fortune teller into its embrace.

Zhu Mingyao frowned and looked down. He saw that his girlfriend's aura was strange, and her eyes were a mess, as if all sorts of fleeting images were flashing by.

He suddenly understood.

This is the activation of [Future Vision].

Zhu Mingyao had only heard of the fortune teller's voice since they met, but had never actually seen her innate supernatural abilities!

A moment later, the girl's eyes cleared, and she gripped Zhu Mingyao's arm tightly, her fingers turning white, and cried out in a panicked, trembling voice.

"Blood... so much blood, the entire lake was stained red, so many people died, there were corpses everywhere, I've never seen so many dead people before..."

Michelle's face turned deathly pale, and her usually sweet voice became distorted with fright.

"Don't be afraid, when? Tell me clearly!" Zhu Mingyao gently held her slender waist, comforting her softly, and asked calmly.

The most dangerous thing is to suddenly erupt from the shadows. Now that it has been revealed, as long as we know the timing, we can find a way to deal with it calmly. This is why Michelle's "future vision" is still valued by the authorities, even though it is sometimes effective and sometimes not.

However, the girl's next words shattered his composure.

"It's...it's happening right now, it's about to happen!" Michelle trembled, her usually rosy lips paling, and she said in a trembling voice.

Zhu Mingyao's mind went blank for a moment, and he turned his head sharply to look at the beach where the music festival was being held, as if he could already see the towering bloodstains!

"Michelle will stay at the hotel to contact the authorities and then gather the accompanying agents for support! Maddie and Zoe, change into your equipment and artifacts as quickly as possible and head to the venue!"

Before the others could react, he pushed off with both feet and soared into the air, gliding like a great eagle towards the beach by the lake.

Zhu Mingyao had no doubt about the effectiveness of [Future Vision]. As far as he knew, once the fortune teller's talent was activated, the future she saw would inevitably happen unless someone stopped her in advance.

The current problem is how to move thousands of tourists from the lake at the venue to the shore in a very short time.

Especially now that the police's warnings from the day before have become a joke in the face of the calm reality.

With a light touch of his toes, Zhu Mingyao leaped across the uneven rooftop, his mind racing as he considered a solution.

In the federal party culture, getting a large group of excited tourists to come out of the water with just a word is impossible, let alone getting yourself out there. Even bringing the president from the White House might not be enough.

The only way to make them obey is through divine intervention!

If all else fails, he has no choice but to risk casting a spell to drive people away... Zhu Mingyao secretly resolved that some accidental trampling injuries are better than all of them perishing in the belly of the fish!

Wait! A thought suddenly struck him.

What did I just say? God appeared to us?

this……

This looks promising!

Oh everyone, please don't keep them! They'll all die if you keep them!

Chapter 153 Come out and see God!

At 10:00 a.m., the atmosphere inside the music festival venue, surrounded by blue water and white sand, was already getting better and better.

Young couples frolic in the blue lake, while children chase and play on the white sand beach, their laughter blending together in a cacophony.

As for the stage erected with steel frames, it was intermission at the moment. A group of scantily clad female dancers did not leave with the singers, but instead immediately began to perform an extremely seductive impromptu dance, attracting the gentlemen in the audience to swim and flock to them.

In an instant, the crowd surged and whistles filled the air. A few men who were particularly good swimmers showed off by treading water and lifting their upper bodies out of the lake, revealing their obvious abs. They made a few exaggerated bodybuilding poses, demonstrating their superior physical abilities to the hot girls on stage.

On the long wooden pier, an elderly local couple struggled to push their modified food cart, looking around for a good spot to set up their stall. The heavy wheels turned slowly, creaking as they rolled over the tough, rot-resistant pine planks.

No matter how wonderful the performance on stage is, they are too busy making a living to even look up and appreciate it for a moment.

Just as young Jack took advantage of the music festival to work as a tour guide, the local elderly and children, who usually don't have any extra income, can't let go of this once-a-year business opportunity.

The fresh yellow perch that they caught a couple of days ago were kept in the pond in their backyard. The couple got up early in the morning and quickly gutted and gutted the fish, peeled off the skin with hard scales, cut it into pieces about two fingers long and wide, marinated it with seasonings, coated it with cornstarch, fried it over low heat until it was slightly yellow, and then put it into an insulated bucket lined with ice and took it to the dock.

After being deep-fried a second time until golden brown, the rich aroma of the fish immediately filled the air, like a hook, tugging at the tourists' appetites and drawing them all together.

With each exchange of banknotes and lunchboxes, most of the stock in the raw material barrels quickly disappeared.

"Business is really good this year. We're almost sold out on the second day!" The old man with gray hair flipped through his fingers, counting the thick stack of banknotes in his hand with a clattering sound, his face beaming like an old chrysanthemum.

"Oh, God……"

He glanced at his wife, whose face was filled with devout sighs, shrugged, and continued her sentence:

"Yes, yes, it's all thanks to God's blessing that we've been able to earn so much money. But now, old lady, you have to keep an eye on the oil pan; the fish is almost burnt!"

The only response he received was from the old woman's trembling fingers.

Following the direction of the finger, the old man's expression suddenly froze, and the clip in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.

His eyes widened as he murmured, "No wonder I made so much money today, it really is God's blessing!"

What caused them to lose their composure was the enormous, luminous humanoid figure that was rising slowly above a sparse grove of trees adjacent to the beach!

……

Inside the grove, Zhu Mingyao held a peach wood staff, his feet moving in the steps of Yu Bu and Da Dou, pointing his fingers like a sword at the small altar in front of him while chanting incantations.

The altar was made of five-colored wooden boards covered with scriptures, mantras and secret incantations. It was covered with an apricot-yellow cloth and hung with a Bagua diagram. A white porcelain water bowl, a purple copper incense burner, red candles and yellow talismans were arranged in order on the altar, making it a complete set of ritual objects.

The only concern is that the altar, from beginning to end, is only about three feet in diameter, which makes one somewhat doubtful about its efficacy.

But for Zhu Mingyao, even this simplified, miniature altar that came with the RV was enough to provide extra support for the big events he was about to stage.

The secret technique he is about to use does not originate from the Shangqing School of Maoshan, and it would be a stretch to call it an orthodox Xuanmen technique. It can be considered a forbidden spell recorded in the "Maoshan Miscellaneous Collection of Yang Talismans".

The so-called taboo is not because its effects are cruel and vicious, nor because the cultivation process is against the natural order, but for another reason...

The enormous humanoid figure in the sky was tens of meters tall, surrounded by pure white holy light. It wore a long robe in the style of ancient Rome, with a halo above its head. Its face was indistinct, and several beautiful little angels with wings on their backs were flying up and down beside it.

The humanoid figure vibrated the air, emitting a deafening sound towards the stunned people in the concert hall.

"Lambs of the world, I have come here today to wash away your sins..."

Step forward…

The voice was loud and clear, yet it subtly possessed a bewitching power that made people subconsciously want to obey.

This is why this spell is forbidden to be used casually... Zhu Mingyao struggled to maintain this large-scale complex illusion, glanced at the rapidly gathering crowd, looked at the devout expressions on their faces, and sighed inwardly.

As a group of professional rebels since ancient times, the White Lotus Sect's "Dragon Flower Bright Mantra" is extremely effective at deceiving its followers.

Indeed, everyone has their own area of ​​expertise!

It combines the power of incense and the power of religious vows with illusions of light and shadow, and connects with people's deep-seated faith and awe for gods and Buddhas, making them see gods and Buddhas when they think of gods and Buddhas. Unless they are completely unbelievers, ordinary people are hard to resist.

Such magic would be a major concern for relevant departments even in modern times, let alone in ancient times!

No wonder they are as resilient as cockroaches, able to stir up trouble every now and then despite being hammered by the iron fists of successive dynasties.

Although the magic is evil, it is just right for this situation. It only provides a slight mental guidance and will not affect people's original minds or cause accidents such as stampedes. The next step is to find a way to lead people out of the venue safely and in an orderly manner.

Seeing the astonishing effectiveness of the spell, with seven or eight out of ten tourists already having emerged from the water, Zhu Mingyao breathed a slight sigh of relief. He changed his spell, preparing to manipulate the illusion to shift the location, drifting to the center of the town and leading the people away from the lakeside.

Just then, a thought struck him, and he looked up at the lake in horror. In his spiritual sense, hundreds of cold and fierce auras rushed towards him at an extremely fast speed from the deep lake water!

The next moment, screams filled the air!

……

……

Over millions of years, the lake water has pounded against the rocks, grinding them into grains of fine sand, which have accumulated over time to form a pristine white beach.

However, the once popular place for people to play is now stained red with blood, and deafening wails and desperate cries are intertwined.

One after another, ferocious monster fish, about half an arm's length long, with huge mouths and fangs, silver scales and red eyes, were frantically attacking the people who were still in the water.

The lakeside was filled with tourists, their clothes tattered and torn, staggering and searching for their families and companions.

Some of the uninjured and braver people mustered their courage and hurriedly pulled the injured who were struggling to climb out of the water ashore, while the more timid ones ran desperately towards the town.
