Chapter 386: Brotherhood of Child Thieves
Brotherhood of Child Thieves
Before nightfall on the third day, no player could have imagined what means Lisfeier would use to make the whole of Duoergede fall into panic.
Until the moon passed the middle of the sky, the soloist and the little assassin who went out to listen for news brought back a shocking piece of news, directly making the other players present fall into silence at the same time.
Duoergede appeared a group of kidnappers, and many families' children and even pregnant women were kidnapped silently.
Cheng Shi was startled for a moment and immediately thought of an organization, an organization Tulading had mentioned before:
Brotherhood of Child Thieves.
At that time, he didn't understand what kind of organization this Brotherhood of Child Thieves was. Now it seemed that the name was as the name suggested, it was used to steal children.
Don't say, in a place that believes in 【Birth】, stealing the "future" of 【Birth】, this blasphemous way is only slightly better than converting to 【Corruption】.
Not only that, looking at Bailiaosi's attitude, he obviously knew about these things.
Sure enough, the biggest filth of Duoergede is hidden in the most sacred church. Lisfeier is the King of the Duoergede underground.
And for the players, fear is there. The next step is to consider how to connect this fear with the Holy Infant of 【Corruption】.
Several players gathered together to think of ways, but after a long silence, no one spoke. Finally, Gao Ya, who was impatient, said coldly:
"These are just shadow remnants that have long been submerged in ancient history. What is there to worry about?
Pointless kindness is stupidity. Can't you two in this segment figure out this kind of thing?
Simply find these children, kill these children, transfer the hatred to the followers of other evil gods, and you can amplify the fear of Duoergede to the extreme. Then spread the news that the Holy Infant will be born, and everyone will be afraid of him, and will even incite the church to find him and kill him.
Bailiaosi is cooperating with us, so he naturally won't think it's us who did it. In this way, as long as Tulading gives birth to the child at the right time, we can perfectly complete the trial.
Such a simple thing, I don't believe you can't think of it!
What exactly are you struggling with?"
Cheng Shi listened and marveled. What a bad seed of 【Foolishness】.
Gao Ya is right. This is indeed a simple method. Everyone present thought of it. The problem is, who is going to do the heartless thing of secretly killing a group of innocent children?
Looking at these furrowed brows, one knows that no one is willing to do this heartless thing.
The little assassin thought for a long time and sighed: "There are still 5 days, no need to do it so absolutely. Think again, maybe there are other ways?"
Gao Ya's disdainful gaze swept over everyone, sneered, and left the underground again.
Seeing this, Cheng Shi hummed and shook his head.
Followers of 【Foolishness】 only pursue results and don't examine the process, which is why they would make such weird things like dead human dolls.
These smart people who think they are high and mighty, they are hopeless.
Zhang Jizu saw Cheng Shi's expression was calm and not anxious at all, so he knew he might have a way, so he tilted his head and urged:
"Don't hide it, say it quickly."
Cheng Shi laughed:
"There is a simpler way for this matter. The soloist is too brought into the player's perspective.
You must know that although the trial is history, it is also the real past. There are too many people of flesh and blood here. Why must the protagonist be us?"
When the words reached this point, Zhang Jizu nodded thoughtfully with a frown, seemingly guessing Cheng Shi's method.
"Brotherhood of Child Thieves?"
Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows, only feeling that Squinty Eyes was really on the same brainwave as himself.
Although he doesn't do fancy tricks, he knows a lot about fancy tricks.
"Not bad, it's the Brotherhood of Child Thieves. We just need to spread the word that the Brotherhood of Child Thieves is a follower of 【Corruption】 itself. They are looking for their Holy Infant, so they kidnapped all the children. In this way, naturally someone will go to denounce them.
Driven by anger, rumors will only spread more and more outrageously, more and more terrifying. By this step, our plan has basically succeeded halfway. After all, an underground dark organization hidden under the church cannot stand up and clarify for itself.
The notoriety they have accumulated will drag them into an abyss where they cannot argue. By then, we just need to send Tulading to the Brotherhood of Child Thieves and show up at the right time, claiming that they have found the real Holy Infant and are about to give birth to that child, then this matter is done.
As for whether Big Beard will suspect us...
Even if he suspects, it's useless, because we are healing Golis. Compared to the Brotherhood of Child Thieves being used, obviously Golis's matter has a higher priority. This is a conspiracy he cannot refuse."
Tian Xie gasped, pondered for a moment, and admired him to the ground: "Brother, I'm convinced, Brother."
Gou Feng was also looking at Cheng Shi with glowing eyes. Just as he was about to say something to Cheng Shi, he was hurriedly pressed down by Cheng Shi with his hand.
"Brother, don't speak, I know what you mean."
Gou Feng's movement stalled, and he laughed out loud.
Cheng Shi heard this laughter and felt a slight tremor in his heart, and then said with great emotion:
"The water in Duoergede is too deep. If I drag it out, I'm afraid there will be problems. Let's end it early. After Tulading gives birth to that child, let's break up.
I always feel that being with you guys will have accidents again!
But...
Speaking of which, Old Zhang, where did you hide Tulading?
Reveal it, in case you have an accident in these few days, I can pick her up."
Zhang Jizu glanced at Cheng Shi, and his complexion became somewhat wonderful.
Although he didn't say a word, Cheng Shi immediately understood his complexion, and his own complexion also became wonderful instantly.
He twitched the corners of his mouth and asked in extreme shock: "You wouldn't... have already sent Tulading to the Brotherhood of Child Thieves?"
Zhang Jizu's eyes had already squinted into a slit. He was silent for a moment and nodded.
"Yes."
"???" Cheng Shi was numb, "You pre-judged me?"
"... That's not it, it was purely a coincidence.
I didn't have this idea on the way to the Tribunal for the second time, but when I escaped the church and went to the Tribunal for the third time, I found them again.
Their positions were swapped, but the target they were watching didn't seem to have changed.
Coincidentally, when you took us to the Tribunal for the first time during the day, I noticed the situation of those families on the roadside, summarized in four words: families with young children.
So I kept it in mind.
This morning after you set off, I tried to contact these people. Of course, they might not like the means of contact
They are indeed people from the Brotherhood of Thieves."
Hearing this, Tian Xie was stunned first. He carefully recalled all his observations and discoveries along the way, and asked in bewildered disbelief:
"Brother Zhang, I've also been observing the surroundings the whole time, so how come I didn't notice these people? If someone was tailing us, as a peer in the shadows, it's impossible for me not to have noticed anything."
Zhang Jizu explained with a smile:
"It's a coincidence; they weren't tailing us normally, but rather 'died' in unknown corners near their targets."
Tian Xie widened his eyes and exclaimed: "Dead people!?"
