Chapter 551 I'm Killing People
In the mountains outside the town, under a big tree, in front of an ordinary stone stained with blood, Jiang Shan squinted his eyes and looked at the stone.
The little girl, whose attention was captured by him, stood beside him in a daze.
All around, many town residents holding their pets had fierce eyes and stared at Jiang Shan; Patton and others, together with their team members, blocked these residents.
Jiang Shan captured the little girl's mind and dug out the secret of the town from her; he learned that they could exchange good luck for the so-called gods by sacrificing their loved ones.
They raise their pets with care, and devote most of their energy to the process of raising pets, which makes them develop "love" for their pets. Then they kill their beloved pets on the stone in front of them and sacrifice them to the so-called gods, so as to get good luck.
This suddenly reminded Jiang Shan of the origin of this plot.
A story from a TV series called Bloody Journey.
In the original plot, the people here gain good luck by sacrificing their pets, which is then reflected in the lottery, and every household is very wealthy.
This surprised the family who had just moved to the town.
After asking around, the hostess of the house roughly figured out what was going on, so she offered what she thought was her favorite thing as a sacrifice to the so-called gods, but did not receive any good luck in return.
She went to question the person who told her the secret, and after learning the details, she slaughtered her pet dog and sacrificed it to the gods. As expected, she got lucky, bought a lottery ticket, and won the prize.
But human greed is endless, she even wanted to kill her husband as a sacrifice; the final ending is very interesting, the couple disappeared, but their daughter became the wealthy boss of a big company.
This is a very scary thing to think about.
Apparently, their daughter killed them and sacrificed her parents to the gods, thus gaining everything.
And if we trace the root of the problem, we will find that the residents of this small town probably did the same thing in the beginning; sacrificing their loved ones to satisfy their inner greed.
But human sacrifice was extremely dangerous, and there were not enough residents in the town to kill, so they turned to pets.
Jiang Shan asked the little girl, who had been captivated by him, to bring him to the stone; the residents followed him without any prior arrangement, and all the residents of the town were now here.
They stared at Jiang Shan viciously, as if they wanted to eat him up bite by bite.
Patton and Sharon felt a chill in their hearts, and their teammates turned pale. Even No. 5 felt something was wrong all over his body and got goose bumps.
Jiang Shan was completely unaware.
He looked at it for a moment, took a breath, and blew the stone into ashes; a yellow crystal embedded in a black stone base was exposed in front of Jiang Shan.
This stirred up a hornet's nest.
The residents suddenly roared in unison and were about to rush forward to tear Jiang Shan and his men into pieces; Jiang Shan turned around and glanced around, and everyone was frozen in place.
The invisible force lifted the citrine and flew it into Jiang Shan's hands. In the dark, there seemed to be a gentle voice saying in his ear: "Make a wish, make a wish."
Jiang Shan sneered: "What a trick!"
As soon as he had a thought, he drew a few celestial patterns and terrestrial scrolls with his fingertips and pressed them on the crystal. Suddenly, bright threads spread out from the crystal and accurately connected to some of the surrounding town residents.
Jiang Shan had a blank expression on his face: "Anyone who kills his own relatives as a sacrifice for greed deserves to die!"
He ran his fingers across the silk threads as if he was playing the piano. Amid the tinkling sounds, the residents of the small town connected by the silk threads suddenly fell down without a sound.
At this moment, a golden light descended from the sky: "Supreme Mage!"
Diana! "What are you doing?!"
Her eyes widened.
Jiang Shan said: "I am killing people."
Diana looked at the hundreds of people lying on the ground, and was shocked and angry for a moment: "Why did you kill people?!"
Jiang Shan sighed and threw the crystal in his hand to Diana: "Because they deserve to die."
Diana caught the crystal reflexively, and immediately, she heard the voice of "make a wish" in her ears.
But she was a demigod after all, and she could resist the temptation. She stared at the crystal in her hand and said, "Make a wish?"
Jiang Shan said, "These people," he pointed at the townspeople who fell to the ground and died, and said, "In order to satisfy their greed, they sacrificed their loved ones and made wishes to this deceiving stone. Diana, do you think they should die?"
Diana swallowed, her eyes swept over the people standing and falling around her, and she suddenly shuddered.
Jiang Shan said: "This is the way of cannibalism, and the people being eaten are their own relatives; cannibals are no longer human beings, they are just mortal."
As for those who sacrificed their pets, Jiang Shan didn't care.
He has no empathy for his pets.
Of course, there are relevant laws in the United States, and pet abuse will be punished; although it’s a bit ridiculous.

Diana was holding the yellow crystal, and was a little absent-minded at this time. Suddenly she heard Jiang Shan say: "There seem to be a few ancient Latin characters on the base of this crystal. You are a demigod of Olympus, do you know the origin of this thing?"
Diana came back to her senses and took a quick look, and sure enough, there were some ancient Latin words.
She read aloud: "Hold this and make a wish."
Then he frowned and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know its history."
Said: "But it must be a devilish thing!"
Jiang Shan nodded: "This mode of making wishes, sacrificing one's love and releasing greed and desire in one's heart, is no different from the devil."
Diana nodded. "It is indeed evil. My mother may know where it came from."
Hippolyta?
Jiang Shan nodded: "Then please ask Queen Hippolyta for me. I think this thing has something to do with Olympus."
Diana casually threw the crystal back to Jiang Shan: "If there is a chance, I will ask for you."
Then he said, "I have something important to talk to you about."
Jiang Shan extended his hand and said, "Let's go talk over there."
Then he said to No. 5 and Patton, "Clean up the mess here. If the Americans ask why, there is no need to hide it."
Diana, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but say, "I'm afraid not many people can resist the temptation of this thing. You should block the news about it, otherwise it will attract many covetous people."
Jiang Shan laughed: "This thing is in my hand. If anyone wants it, come and grab it if you have the guts."
Diana was speechless.
The two walked to the side, and Diana sighed, "I just saw you kill someone, and I was very angry. People with superhuman powers should know how to restrain themselves. It is not a good thing to act recklessly."
"What about now?" Jiang Shan asked with a smile.
"There is a reason for everything. Those who sacrifice the lives of their loved ones do not deserve to live." Diana is not a saint.
