Chapter 718: Hundred Faces Sacrifice (Part 1)
The hall must be filled with people and engaged in intense activities, so that the heat waves emitted from the radiation make the constant temperature system inside unable to function.
"Damn!"
Zhao Xi, who was facing the door, almost let the heat waves wrapped in sweat, smell of alcohol and various perfume smells rush in. Looking in from his position, the blurred and changing light waves were almost all twisted and jumping figures. At first glance, they were all rubbed together. The slightly refreshing visual area was actually their waving, interlaced arms.
The Burners' entry position is slightly lower than the middle ground. They can't see what the center looks like. All they can see is people - those who squeeze and hug each other, hug each other, and roar and jump.
Even if it doesn’t exceed a thousand, there are still seven or eight hundred.
No one cares about the situation where the door is opened. These people are completely trapped in a ritual-like carnival, without any other or self.
The reason why "ritual" is said is because the scene is in order in chaos. For example, the "spell" they roared is quite regular:
The sound of "yi" is long, while the sound of "roar" is soft and very short. The air beat behind is filled with four neat stomping beats.
Then the first "Nuo" sound is still short, and it is still stomping the feet to fill it. Finally, the second "Nuo" sound is followed, and then the feet to stomp... This cycle is like this.
The overall rhythm is evenly and neat, simple and unified, hundreds of thousands of people roaring, and the momentum is amazing.
But the drum beats that were supposed to be metronomes sounded chaotic and confused, carrying other gongs, yelling and twisting⑿『Play the musical instruments such as bass, like invisible monsters that penetrated the crowd, close and separated, laughing and talking.
Even in such a noisy and restless scene, Liu Fengming's voice was still clearly visible.
He proposed the extraordinary species "Baifengjun"... to be precise, the name of the extraordinary level distortion nest. It was not logical reasoning according to the situation introduced by Fries, but other beliefs.
"At present, the only one who has the ability and qualifications to organize a large-scale 'Nuo Bureau' is regarded as a god and worships the 'Hundun Cult Group', which is currently a very popular secret sect in Hucheng."
"Does it still need qualification to form the 'Nuo Bureau'?" Fries, who is also a "Huchengtong", was a little surprised. " Back then, this thing was basically copied from each other - when you put on a mask, you will love whoever you love, but there is no copyright."
Liu Fengming's face twitched and smiled: "The Hunduan Cult Group has been in great power in recent years and is 'special'."
"Understanding... I heard that the self-awareness of 'Baifengjun' is not particularly clear, so can you be a backer in this way? Is there any feedback?"
"The feedback rating newly measured in 1996 is 'Class C', that is, the core population is basically stable; devout believers have inductions, and feedback can be strengthened through rituals; ordinary believers and passers-by will be affected by the ritual."
After a brief pause, Liu Fengming added: "There was 'real-time monitoring' between 1993 and 1995, and it was not included in the observation subject before 1993."
“Growing up very fast.”
"The sects are expanding quickly. Because they have a 'Class C' rating, they are currently barely considered local sects, but in fact they have spread in the Great Golden Triangle and around them."
Fries nodded repeatedly when he heard this: "This 'C' is probably a deliberate and low-key... Brother, you are very familiar with this aspect, an insider in the industry?"
"I used to work in the Huaicheng Secretary Cult Bureau, responsible for the investigation and cleaning of high-risk cults, and later transferred to the Near Defense Forces Serial."
Fries said, "It turns out to be so", but he knew very well that Major Liu's self-introduction would only target the real "big boss".
The problem is that when the topic goes deeper, Ronan no longer speaks, but just stands at the door, staring at the hot and crazy crowd, without any other reaction.
At this time, the person in charge who was watching the venue hurried over, probably already knew Ronan and others...at least they were the identities of Fries and others. They knew very well that these people could not afford to offend them and had a very good attitude:
"Dear officials, come here for fun, you can go to the central event venue; if you feel crowded there, you can go upstairs. We have prepared some viewing rooms for friends who like quietness..."
Apart from the strong noise, you have to shout loudly, so that your speech is intermittent, there is nothing to be picky about.
Fries glanced at Ronan and saw that he was still silent, so he took the initiative to come forward and joked: "Your venue is enough for several nights of expenses, even if it is arranged."
"It's okay, it's okay."
"It seems that I've been familiar with the path... I'm revisiting the old place this time. As for these guys, I have probably never seen such a local scene. I'm not in a hurry to participate for the time being, so I'll have a better understanding first."
"Then, please go upstairs from here."
The person in charge led everyone to walk along the edge of the noisy venue for a while, opened the stairwell passage that seemed to be a wall, and led the twenty people to the viewing area on the second floor.
As the person in charge said, there are several semi-enclosed viewing balconies here, which are somewhat similar to the shape of an opera house. Several private rooms passing by are closed, but there should be people inside, and there are vague laughter and quarrel.
The private room chosen by the person in charge was very spacious, and more than 20 people flocked in, but they could still stand open.
However, there are a few experienced people who can see that this private room should have been cleaned up temporarily. The sofa case has traces of moving and wiping, but there are still some missing? The furnishings, wet marks on the ground, and some debris at the corners are inevitable.
It was probably because the original spectators were chased away. No wonder they had a long way to go when they were led up, probably to buy time.
See through and say it out loud, the same sentence:
The boss doesn't speak, and he doesn't have it.
A few thoughtful people exchanged their eyes tacitly. Everyone hugged the semi-open fence to see the venue below. Of course, the best viewing area in the middle needs to be left for Boss Luo.
In such a carnival venue, if you want to stay awake, you really need to have a height and distance.
When they were condescending, their vision suddenly became clear. Many people only discovered that there was a very complicated design in the middle of the huge dance floor where people were rushing.
At the center, there is a circle of circular low walls, about two meters high. The tall adult can pull it to the upper edge by stretching out his hand.
From a distance, the outer layer is hung with masks with different images, most of which are ferocious and ferocious; and the inner inside of the package is a pile of seemingly randomly thrown debris.
There are stones, branches and trunks, brightly colored fungi, eels that are still struggling and beating, and even corpses of wild beasts that are not drying...
At first glance, these were collected items and preys that were picked up from the wilderness. They were piled up in one place without much treatment, which was incompatible with the auditorium where they were now. However, if they looked at it a few more times, it seemed to be reconciled again.
“Look at the top.”
Someone reminded everyone to look up again. Many people then discovered that the top of the hall was actually opened. At this time, the sky was dyed with a colorful curtain through the sparse and dense steel frame, and was pressing down with the thick shadows of the mountains in the distance, as the background of this "Nuo Bureau".
It’s not that there is no constant temperature system, but it’s just turned off!
Perhaps in order to maximize the natural background, none of the lamps above are turned on, and all the light sources displayed on the ground are illuminated, twisting through dense crowds and then diffusing.
It's no wonder that the overflowing light waves are so strange.
Such a curtain extends from the wilderness, and any arrangement seems natural.
Surrounding the circular wall, the lower end of the curtain scenery, is a "stage" slightly higher than the ground. It covers a large area and encircles the most core area of the venue, with an area of at least one-quarter of the total venue, making the crowds below the audience more crowded.
At this time, on the very empty stage, dozens of men and women wearing huge masks actually held bellow torches, swaying and dancing under the wilderness sky, roaring with force, and sweating profusely.
The men on the stage had a slight red upper body, while the women had a little cover. The waist was sloppy and bare legs, revealing a large body of body and shiny body.
They divided into three layers, surrounding the central circular wall, waving torches, and jumping. They were not the kind of deliberately grasping, showing the beauty of the body and stimulating the senses, but instead seemed clumsy and heavy.
But dozens of people were crazy, dancing and devoted themselves to each other, regardless of the falling Mars, ablating their bodies, and showing their simplicity and strength.
Such a background and such dance clearly influenced the rough and strange wind blowing from the wilderness, making it difficult for people to use the aesthetics of contemporary cities to force them to nest.
Liu Fengming's explanation was inserted at the right time: "This Nuo Bureau was a landmark ceremony derived from the Hunduan Cult Group: the 'Hundred Faces'. It is to compete for masks representing status in a set situation, fight and fight each other, see blood and even life and death to please Baifengjun.
"On the other hand, based on the 'Hundred-faced Festival', similar chaotic 'Nuo Bureau gathering' is basically the missionary activities of the church to the public."
"Wow, at this scale, are you moving forward to the base?" Banner, a real firepower player with a rough personality, found it incredible. "Don't Hucheng care about it?"
In front of him was Zhao Xi. With his qualifications to drink and chat with Ronan, this technician obtained the most VIP position on the viewing balcony. There was only a Fries separated from Ronan.
At this time, he looked under the railing, and from another perspective, he looked at the crowded and frenzied crowd, and found emotion: "These people probably think that they are in the unrestrained wilderness."
In fact, the feelings of the participants in the field should be quite complicated: some are crazy and ugly, and they wish they could rush over and hold them and chew; some are full of tears, hammering their chests and stamping their feet, and roaring wildly to vent.
In fact, there are really people who take action.
This out-of-control beast-like disruptor rushed to the stage where he could step up with his legs, rushed into the Nuo dance circle, and hugged the target of Yike - a female dancer wearing a hideous mask, unable to see clearly, but with a young and toned figure.
Someone was screaming in the audience.
However, this animalistic hug made the bodybuilder stagger, without screaming, without obvious struggle... The ancient dance steps continued.
With just one round of waving the torch and turning, the out-of-control disturber was thrown away, and he fell to the sky and rolled down the stage. He was stepped on by the people around him, and he screamed in panic and was suppressed again. Most of his life was probably gone in a blink of an eye.
The whistling sound of "Yu ~ roar, Nuo, Nuo" in the field crushed all the noise during the period, and it did not seem to have any impact on people.
The out-of-control person was probably dragged out by the surrounding security personnel.
There are some unlucky guys like this. However, some people also rushed into the circle of Nuo dance, but were not so anxious, but followed the rhythm and danced with the men and women in masks.
During this period, they were also rubbed against each other, and even had a swaying collision, but after a few laps, they were accommodated and moved to the inner layer.
Everyone could see clearly on the viewing balcony. Later, the man went to the circular wall around the middle and chose a mask twice as big as his face. He wore it on his face, which successfully won a louder roar from the audience. There were also people applauding and cheering on the surrounding viewing platform.
The men and women who danced outside also separated a few of them and surrounded him. The dance steps continued, but they added the movements that seemed to be falling and kneeling, as if worshipping the gods.
Afterwards, he served the man to remove his outer garment, reveal his body, apply essential oil, and then, he naturally and completely integrated into the Nuo dance in the central area.
Zhao Xi murmured: "I have a premonition that this guy is very happy now, and it will be even more enjoyable after the event!"
Fries next to him observed the viewing balcony on both sides and responded casually: "In the past, the 'Nuo Bureau' had this tradition."
Liu Fengming, who is separated from Fries, also said: "The night is endless, the rituals are endless, and the mask is the manifestation of divine power, divine power, and divine power. He has the power to seek ordinary believers."
As soon as these words came out, many people were eager to try on the viewing balcony.
