Conan Rick's Investigator
Page 869
Seeing that he was being attacked from both sides, Qin Zhibo glanced at the side of the road, and then he and Koizumi Hongzi went into the temple on the side of the street.
The temple had only one door. Pulling the lever, the door, which was operated by hinges, lowered down.
The interior of the temple fell into darkness. Qin Zhibo took out a nuclear lighter and illuminated a certain area.
"What's going on?" Koizumi Hongzi asked frantically, still not understanding what was happening. "Why aren't they sleeping?"
"Because it's a trap."
Qin Zhibo held up a nuclear lighter to check for other exits and explained, "They set up such a loose guard so that we could find a chance to escape."
"So they have a reason to execute us."
In fact, when Qin Zhibo noticed that the streets were a little too quiet, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
The Kunyang people let outsiders live here in order to obtain intelligence and knowledge from the outside world.
But if Koizumi Akako's mother had come here 15 years ago and was caught, the value of the external intelligence that the two of them can provide now would be very low.
Fifteen years may seem like a long time for humans, but for a race where living to 15 is considered young, it is just a few short months.
The people of Kunyang didn't want to keep them, so they framed them with "false" charges, which gave them the right to do whatever they wanted.
Although in theory the Kunyang people could deal with their captives at will, the more ancient and developed a civilization is, the more it would abide by certain dogmas and laws that symbolize "civilization" and would not easily break traditions.
However, the right to interpret how to implement the law lies entirely with them.
In addition, the Kunyang people's "fishing enforcement" with such a bad taste is also consistent with their unscrupulous pursuit of excitement.
Maybe this is just a show for them to fool outsiders.
The Kunyang people in the house watched their every move like a circus performance, because their struggles were meaningless in their eyes!
Those damned Kunyang people might even open a private bet on where they could escape to.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo clenched his fists in indignation.
"Could it be that the note also..."
Koizumi Hongzi suddenly thought of the note. If the Kunyang people wanted them to escape from here on their own initiative, the note would undoubtedly be one of the key conditions to facilitate their escape.
But Qin Zhibo shook his head and analyzed: "The note should not have been left by the Kunyang people. If it was their note, it should be hoping that we can enter Enkai, so they would not stop us here."
"Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's first figure out how to escape from here..."
Qin Zhibo searched the temple hall and found that it was a temple made of gold, which was extremely luxurious.
The murals in the temple were engraved with a twisted tentacle-like symbol that looked familiar to Qin Zhibo.
Looking at the idol enshrined on the golden pedestal in the middle of the temple, it is not a specific image, but a ragged yellow robe, and the darkness beneath the yellow robe is indescribable.
Qin Zhibo immediately confirmed that this was the temple of Hastur, the King in Yellow!
The temples of the gods believed in by the Kunyang people are concentrated together, just like ordinary land temples and city god temples, for people to worship.
This also shows that the Kunyang people's faith is not devout, and the so-called worship is just a way of spiritual sustenance to fill their long life.
When Qin Zhibo was escaping just now, he randomly broke into this temple dedicated to the Nameless One.
The Kunyang people called "Hastur" "the nameless one", which coincides with the Yellow Brotherhood in Oklahoma. It is difficult to say which of the two borrowed from the other.
However, when he saw the statue of the King in Yellow, Qin Zhibo's eyes suddenly lit up and he had an idea in his mind.
……
At this point, the encirclement outside the temple was complete.
The sentries, led by Hassagi, and countless citizens of Tsath, all stood in the woods surrounding the temple.
They all looked at each other with a joking expression, and two rows of gray teeth were revealed on their Indian faces as they smiled at the closed temple door.
In their eyes, the two outsiders were already trapped and there was absolutely no way they could escape.
Not to mention that the temple only has this one main entrance, even if they wanted to hold their ground inside, it would be impossible.
The Kunyang people have the ability to transform their bodies between physical and virtual forms, and are not afraid of humans using terrain to fight against them.
All resistance is meaningless.
Hasaji stood at the front of the crowd of Kunyang people and shouted in Spanish to the inside of the door: "Come out quickly! Outsiders, we will not hurt you!"
"We don't want to make the situation worse, do we?"
Hasaggi's smiling face was full of mockery, but he knew that the humans inside couldn't see his expression.
As for the promises he made, they were naturally lies.
He just wanted to use these words to trick people out of the temple and then convict them of espionage.
At that time, the outsiders would definitely kneel down and beg for mercy, asking frantically why I didn't keep my promise not to harm them.
Such a plot is more interesting and can bring a touch of excitement to the long life.
As for the consequences of being convicted of espionage, the Kunyang people have always been ruthless to the minions of the "cosmic devil", so that is naturally the most cruel punishment.
If the person is a male, he may be exiled to the arena and become a war machine that fights to the death for the entertainment of the Kunyang people.
It just so happens that the Kunyang Arena hasn't had any new gladiators for a long time, and the male outsider has a pretty strong physique, so he should be worth watching.
Of course, even if a gladiator unfortunately died in battle, the Kunyang people had a way to make the corpse continue to duel until the broken body could no longer bring any sensory stimulation.
If it is a woman, she will be made into a slave who only obeys orders and can do anything.
In short, in Khashoggi's mind, when he first met the two outsiders, he had already woven a picture of their tragic end.
The so-called friendliness is nothing but a sweet lie to deceive outsiders.
Because only in this way can it be considered a dramatic drama!
"Come out, we were just kidding you!"
"No one here can hurt you. I guarantee it with my character!"
Hasaji took the lead in swearing a curse, causing the surrounding Kunyang people to laugh faintly, as if to say, "You are the only one who still has dignity?"
However, these Kunyang people did not mock out of a sense of justice, but simply thought that the matter was a little funny and a topic worth having fun with.
Over their long lives, the moral system of the Kunyang people has long since collapsed and their intelligence level has also declined.
Rationalism is rapidly declining, and the virtues of tolerance and forbearance are gradually evolving into fanaticism and indulgence.
A new concept is spreading like a plague - no matter how high the morals or how strong the rationality, happiness is the most important thing.
Fooling, abusing and torturing outsiders is one of the most important sources of happiness.
Originally, the Kunyang people were also very keen on acquiring knowledge from the outside world, and could gain some happiness from their thirst for knowledge.
However, the people of Kunyang gradually discovered that human civilization has been almost stagnant in the past hundred years.
Human beings are still the same human beings, just two ants fighting for a piece of bread crumbs. The low-level interest orientation revealed by them makes the Kunyang people feel very bored.
We are all ants, so why are we so anxious to fight each other?
Therefore, the Kunyang people taught their highly developed civilization to those outsiders who accidentally broke in here, demonstrating the excellence of their own civilization and absorbing foreign knowledge by the way.
But it was not until those outsiders came one after another to plan to escape from Sato that the people of Kunyang realized that it was meaningless to do so.
Outsiders are outsiders after all and can never integrate into their group. They can only be used as tools for entertainment, nothing more.
"Alright! I don't have any more time to wait for you guys to come out!"
"The final countdown is three. If you don't come out, we'll go in ourselves..."
Hasaji didn't lose his patience just then. He was just afraid of the idols in the temple and didn't want to rush in easily and offend the existence that shouldn't be offended.
The Kunyang people's attitude towards faith is not superstition, but a belief that they really exist.
Tulu, Yig, Tsathoggua, Shub-Niggurath, the Nameless One...even the "Cosmic Devil", they all really exist.
The Kunyang people worshipped the idols in these temples and held frenzied rituals, not only to vent their seemingly unlimited energy but also to beg the idols for psychological peace.
As the saying goes, the more you know, the more terrifying it is.
The one who cannot be named is Tulu's brother, Shub-Niggurath's wife, and the lord of the deep space star sea.
If it were not absolutely necessary, no Kunyang people would dare to attack his temple in a virtual way, even though it was underground far away from the light of Aldebaran.
"three--"
"two--"
"one!"
When the countdown ended, Hassagi had no choice but to take drastic action and ordered an attack on the temple of the Nameless One.
Forcing him to commit such an offensive act, Khashoggi has secretly made up his mind to punish these outsiders with the most severe criminal law.
But at this moment, the heavy door slowly rose, opening a dark hole in the temple.
Seeing this, Hassagi sneered and mocked in Spanish, "You finally got out..."
However, this still could not change his mind about sentencing the two to death.
"Come out, let me see you."
Hassagi smiled playfully, he had completely given up acting.
But the next second, something came out of the dark hole, scaring all the Kunyang people who were ready to watch the show, including him.
A yellow silk robe was attached to the tall figure that was over two meters tall, and the dominating majesty and terror shocked everyone!
Chapter 994 Youhiss
Outside the temple, all the Kunyang people opened their eyes wide in disbelief, with fear in their eyes undisguised.
The strand of yellow silk moved without wind, like an octopus tentacle, its edges twitching constantly, and underneath were gorgeous golden pointed boots.
Beneath the yellow hood, a shadowy black veil wrapped around the head. The undulations beneath the darkness resembled a human face, but no one dared to step forward, for fear of disturbing this mystery from eternity.
The tall and majestic figure walked out of the temple with an absolutely mortal's graceful steps. The Kunyang sentinels, except Hasaji, were immediately frightened by this unparalleled threat and took a step back.
Every time the yellow figure took a step forward, the people of Kunyang took a step back in fear.
Only the captain of the sentry team, Hasaji, can still serve as the captain today when Sato has abolished the military system. Naturally, he is extremely courageous.
Although he was very shocked by the existence in front of him, he did not flinch.
It’s not that he wasn’t afraid of Tulu’s brother, the “Unspeakable One”, the Lord of the Deep Space Star Sea, but his reason told him that things wouldn’t be so coincidental.
The people of Kunyang used the whole country's strength to offer sacrifices every day, but the Nameless One never responded to them. Two outsiders went in, and the Nameless One came out?
How could it be such a coincidence!
These must be those two outsiders pretending to be him!
If they dare to blaspheme God, they will die!
Hassaji looked up at the majestic figure. Even though the head was twenty centimeters higher than him, he still looked up fearlessly.
"Don't think I won't recognize you just because you changed your clothes. You are the two intruders!"
"In Kunyang, blasphemy against the ancient gods is..."
Hassaji's words stopped abruptly, and his eyes widened even more.
Because he happened to catch a glimpse of the temple exit out of the corner of his eye, and two more people came out from there.
It was those two outsiders who came out...
They came out!
At this moment, Hasaji felt that his heart seemed to be out of control and even about to jump out!
If there is an outsider there, then this person in front of me is...
He is the truth!
In just a moment, cognition changed 180 degrees.
Hasaji, the proud captain of the Kunyang Sentinel Team, could no longer hold his head high. His proud knees softened and he unconsciously knelt down in front of the "Nameless One".
The remaining sentinels, the Kunyang people in the woods, all knelt on the ground like fallen leaves swept by the autumn wind, not daring to move, for fear that the sentinel captain's arrogance and ignorance would implicate them.
The body hidden under the yellow robe was observing everything with satisfaction.
