Chapter 281: White Orchid Rain Festival (Sixty-four)
The next morning.
Nan Huan did not sleep the whole night and had been observing Bei Xi's condition, but unfortunately, even after a night, Bei Xi's condition did not improve. This news made other people who got up early in the morning feel like there was a dark cloud hanging over their heads.
"Is the president still not awake?"
President Alice used props to check Bei Xi's body again and confirmed that the wounds on her body were not serious. She still couldn't find the cause of her coma, but her vital signs were normal.
President Hongfen was a little impatient and pushed her shoulder, looking a little anxious.
On the contrary, after a night, Nanhuan had to temporarily accept the fact that Beixi might not wake up for a while.
"Don't worry, she'll be fine."
No one knew where the young lady got the confidence from. The other party looked anxious last night, but now the young lady could say such firm words. However, her face did not look very good.
"We have work to do, and we have to take advantage of this opportunity now."
Nan Huan was of course anxious, but the results of President Alice's examination had shown that Bei Xi's wounds had healed and would not be the cause of her coma. She was almost certain that it was the sudden appearance of the golden light on her body that caused Bei Xi to fall into a coma. Although the details were not known yet, Nan Huan knew that for the time being she could only leave everything to time.
Moreover, it is not completely safe for them to stay here now. After all, although Xieshen and Man Wugui suffered serious injuries and left temporarily, as long as the other party comes back immediately, they will realize that the golden light on her body has disappeared, and they will still be helpless at that time. In order to complete the task as soon as possible, now is a perfect opportunity to temporarily leave the other party's base camp.
That's why she suppressed her discomfort and tried to focus on the task.
"President Alice, President Hongfen," Nan Huan pinched his solar plexus, "Please keep an eye on President Yi. I will release Ah Liu to be with you later. The rest of you need to follow me to the street to understand the current situation. If anything happens to President Yi, please contact me immediately and keep the communication channel connected."
Now that the eldest lady has said so, it is not appropriate for others to show any resentment.
"Don't worry, Miss. We will protect you well. Don't worry."
The president of Hongfen Club responded solemnly. In order to reassure Nan Huan, A Liu was temporarily released to stay by his side. Nan Huan then took the rest of the people out.
"Miss, do you have any ideas? Do you think that while Man Wugui and the evil god have temporarily left this mission world, it is just the right opportunity for us to complete the mission? But we still don't know the whereabouts of the Dragon God. Even yesterday's sacrifice could only be held when Man Wugui was there. But now he has temporarily disappeared. Is this mission still possible?"
President Barbie did not hide her thoughts. She didn't know which angle the eldest lady would start from, so she asked cautiously.
"I think as long as the system doesn't report it, the mission is still valid. The difference lies in how much impact the departure of the evil god and Man Wugui has on this mission world, or on the mission. This impact is what we can use, so we have to check the conditions of the residents in Bailan City to verify this."
Nan Huan hadn't slept all night and wasn't in a very good mood, but she spoke very logically, as she had already thought of this last night.
"As for the holding of the sacrifice and the appearance of the Dragon God, I realized another problem last night."
She paused here. At this moment, the three of them just walked to the open space where the sacrifice was held yesterday. Nan Huan suddenly stopped and looked in the direction of the altar yesterday. It was unknown what she was thinking.
"What's the problem?" The president of the workers' union asked impatiently, "Is there something we missed?"
She was a little unable to keep up with the eldest lady's train of thought, and for a moment she was unable to understand the hidden meaning of her words.
"Do you think there is a causal relationship between finding the remaining consciousness of the dragon race and the Dragon God and making the residents of Bailan City believe in the Dragon God again? Or are they mutually causal?"
President Barbie was not able to understand the cause and effect relationship for a while, but the Workers' President's thinking was more jumpy. She immediately understood what the eldest lady meant, "You mean we don't have to look for the remaining consciousness of the dragon clan and the dragon master first, as long as the residents of Bailan City believe in the Dragon God again, the other party will naturally show up?"
Their previous thoughts had never gone in this direction. After all, according to normal thinking, they must find the location of the Dragon God, so that they can continue to think of ways to make the situation in Bailan City believe in the Dragon God again. However, the eldest lady's idea seemed to provide another way of thinking.
"According to our previous thinking, we need to find the existence of the Dragon God first, but now the Evil God and Man Wugui have temporarily disappeared from here, which means that the sacrifice is most likely impossible to hold. In other words, our original thinking is not feasible. If the sacrifice is not held, we will not have any clues about the Dragon God at all. She will not appear, and we will not be able to find her. Assuming this extreme situation occurs, this is a task that will never be completed..."
President Barbie's thoughts finally caught up with the rest of the group. "The system will definitely take action or give corresponding prompts, but the system has been very quiet since yesterday. This means that the departure of Man Wugui and the Evil God will not have much impact on our mission, at least not a fundamental impact. So the focus of this mission is not on finding those scattered or hidden consciousnesses, but on regaining faith."
Nan Huan nodded. Seeing that they all understood, he retracted his gaze and continued to walk out. "In short, when it comes to the choice of whether to have faith or God first, we chose faith first."
When the eldest lady said this, there seemed to be some deep meaning in it. The president of the workers' association once again failed to follow the message. But before she could ask, President Barbie took a breath and looked very surprised.
She raised her head in a hurry, wanting to check what happened. Then, she saw everything in front of her, and she opened her mouth without even having time to close it. "Where are the people on the street? Wasn't it yesterday that they looked so happy? Why did it suddenly become so desolate today? What's going on? Could it be that Man Wugui and Xieshen hid everyone?"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but raise her voice, and it trembled with anxiety and anger from staying up late.
Although Nan Huan's health value suddenly rose to a record high of 50.1 due to the filling of black air yesterday, his physical fitness returned to its original state after the golden light faded.
So she couldn't notice anything unusual on the street for a while. Instead, President Barbie made a silencing gesture to the two of them, then pricked up her ears to listen, and released a prop that looked like a reconnaissance plane.
After a while, President Barbie took out a long sword and lowered her voice, "There are people in the houses on both sides of the street. Many of them are looking in the direction of the High Priest's Mansion. Those people seem to have regained some consciousness because of Man Wugui and the evil god's departure, but they are full of murderous intent. I don't know if they are looking in our direction or if they regard us as enemies."
Upon hearing this, the president of the workers' union quietly took out his offensive weapons and kept a vigilant eye on his surroundings.
“Can combat effectiveness be assessed?”
Nan Huan did not show any surprise at this sudden situation. On the contrary, when he heard that the residents of Bailan City had briefly regained some sanity and a rare flash of joy crossed his face, he asked the most practical question.
President Barbie shook her head. "It seems that the evil god only controlled them at the beginning and did not reshape them. So they are just a group of ordinary residents who can be dealt with."
"That's good," Nan Huan nodded, and continued to walk forward with the two of them, as if they had a destination. "Let's give it a try and see if anyone wants to be the first to come forward and establish our authority."
She told the two of them nonchalantly, "If a fight breaks out later, just keep your life. After all, it's more beneficial for us if one more of them is alive now."
"Ah? Are we really going to fight?" The Workers' Guild President didn't understand. She thought the young lady would bless them to try not to fight, so as not to trigger the other party's bad emotions. After all, they now need to establish a better image to show that they are not in the same group as the evil god, so that the residents of Bailan City can realize the preciousness of the Dragon God and believe in the Dragon God again. But now after hearing the young lady's explanation that goes in the opposite direction, she is confused. "Shouldn't we comfort them more, let them relax their vigilance, and believe in the Dragon God again? If we fight, they will probably have a rebellious mentality, right? Then won't our mission be more difficult?"
President Barbie had the same idea, and they both looked at the eldest lady in confusion.
A faint smile appeared on Nan Huan's lips, but it was not a truly happy smile, but more like a mockery of something he had thought of.
"From previous missions or dungeons, what do you think are the collective characteristics of the residents of Bailan City?"
Nan Huan did not explain directly, but instead asked a question that seemed to be completely unrelated.
"Ah? Group characteristics?" The Workers' Association President repeated subconsciously, then touched the back of his head and confirmed with the young lady, "Are you talking about what kind of people they are?"
After she asked this question, a look of disgust subconsciously appeared on her face.
Not to mention that the appearance of the first human directly led to the downfall of the White Orchid, causing the Dragon God and the Saint to continue training without any good results.
Essentially, there is no deep hatred between dragons and humans, but in this situation, the dragons were exterminated, and humans regarded the dragons as a scourge and beast because of their own crimes. Their original beliefs were not entirely sincere, and in the end, the Dragon God and the Saint ended up with such a miserable end. If there was no way to choose the content of the task, the president of the Workers' Guild would have cursed at this task a long time ago.
What else do they believe in? Why do the dragons need their beliefs? Isn't this just asking for trouble?
Thousands of words can be summed up in one sentence: "I feel ashamed for being born as a human being like them."
