Savior Simulator
Chapter 868 Sacrifice
In this situation, a villager who claimed to be the reincarnation of the "crocodile god" stood up, showing extraordinary power, claiming to follow tradition, lead his compatriots to hunt down their enemies, and hold a blood sacrifice with the heads of their enemies to restore the balance of the world order. Who can resist this highly inflammatory call?
Gao Fei asked himself, if he were an ordinary young man in Pirion Village, and witnessed Andre transforming into a giant crocodile, he would also worship this "god man" from the bottom of his heart, respect him as the savior, and voluntarily fight for him, even at the cost of his life.
In the final analysis, religion is an anesthetic for the working people.
As a traveler from the "civilized world", Gao Fei initially had a curious and disdainful attitude towards the barbaric traditions of the Asmat people.
After arriving in Pirion Village and gaining a deep understanding of the local cultural background and life difficulties, his mentality also changed, with more sympathy and helplessness.
Under the instigation of "crocodile" Andre, the residents of Pirion Village tried to revive the bloody headhunting tradition, which was of course barbaric and wrong.
However, it would be unfair to simply criticize these poor people who have returned to tradition out of despair as too barbaric and ignorant, without considering the deteriorating environment in the Asmat region and the mutant monsters rampant in the jungle and swamps that are eroding the living space of local villagers.
The so-called civilized world, apart from madly plundering the natural resources of the indigenous people, has ever done anything for them?
At least as far as the Batavia authorities are concerned, no efforts have been made to eliminate the mutant monsters rampant in the Asmat region. It is better to say that the indigenous people are left to fend for themselves.
No wonder the locals fight against natural disasters and struggle to survive in their own way, albeit a barbaric way.
Just as Gao Fei was lost in thought, four villagers walked in.
Three of the sturdy young men worked together to lift the Bisizhu, moved it out of the house, and went to the swamp.
There was also a middle-aged man, the guy who invited everyone to visit just now, with a shrewd smile on his face, saying something to Pep in the local dialect.
Pep frowned as he listened, and shook his head flatly to refuse before he finished.
The other party was still not giving up, and continued to lobby.
Pep became more and more impatient, and suddenly his face darkened, and he pushed him out of the door.
The dialect used by the two people when they talked was both unfamiliar and fast. Gao Fei was too far away, and the simultaneous interpretation of the star disk was not accurate enough. He could only roughly hear that the man invited tourists to visit a ceremony. Of course, he had to give him some benefits as an admission ticket.
For some unknown reason, Pep rejected his invitation on behalf of all his teammates.
Gao Fei listened to it from the side, and felt quite regretful.
In fact, he was very interested in the "grand ceremony" mentioned by the villagers. Even if it cost some money, he wanted to see the world.
But Pep refused, so he didn't know what to say.
At this time, Tang Ning took out the magic lipstick, applied "smart words" on his lips, walked out of the door quickly, waved to the middle-aged villager, and chatted with him in the local dialect skillfully.
Pep was very unhappy about Tang Ning's behavior of negotiating directly with the villagers without his guide, and he stood at the door and yelled at Tang Ning.
Since they met, this was the first time Gao Fei saw Brother Pep lose his temper, and he was angry at his friend and old partner Tang Ning, which showed that he was really angry.
"Sister Tang! What's going on?" Gao Fei hurried over to persuade them to stop fighting.
"It's like this, the man just invited us to the swamp to watch the upcoming Bisi celebration ceremony." Tang Ning lowered her voice to explain to Gao Fei, "This ceremony is like the general mobilization of the war in Pilian Village. After the ceremony, a new round of headhunting war will break out at the latest tomorrow night. The enemy camp is Pilian Village's sworn enemy - Xiulu Village."
"I have heard about the Bisi celebration ceremony for a long time. It's a rare opportunity to be there in person. Of course, I want to watch it, but Brother Pep is very stubborn and firmly disagrees with our visit." Tang Ning glanced at Pep who was still sulking helplessly.
Gao Fei nodded, turned around and asked Pep: "Brother, I am actually very curious about the Bixi celebration ceremony. Since the locals invited us to visit, I think there is no taboo. Why don't you agree?"
"There is nothing to see, it's too bloody." Pep took out his pipe sullenly.
"We have seen many bloody scenes, and this time is not bad." Gao Fei smiled and helped him light the cigarette.
Pep said nothing, took two puffs of the pipe, and spoke reluctantly.
"If you have to go, I have two conditions."
"You say."
"First, no matter what you see, don't interfere; second, you and Tang Ning can go with me, and the others stay in the shed and wait."
"The first condition is fine, as for the second one... I don't understand why others can't go." Gao Fei was very puzzled.
Pep glanced at Jiang Feng, Ma Tao, Ma Yun, Qi Tian, Wang Daqing and others, his expression was extremely complicated, and he didn't say anything.
"I guess what Pep meant was that the others were either too young to see such a bloody scene, or too compassionate and righteous, and he was afraid that they would not be able to help but meddle in other people's business." Tang Ning whispered.
"Okay, I understand." Gao Fei smiled bitterly, turned back to his teammates, and relayed Pep's request.
Everyone looked at each other, all puzzled by Pep's decision to keep them.
"We are all colleagues, and Pep is treating us differently, isn't that a good idea?" Ma Tao couldn't help but complain.
"Anyway, he did this for your good." Gao Fei patiently explained.
"Haha! My dad often told me that!" Qi Tian sneered.
Ma Yun, another rebellious child in the team, also disapproved of Pep's "fatherly" behavior.
"Brother Pep is an elder after all, and he is a local. He must be more thoughtful than us. Just listen to his arrangements." Wang Daqing tried to smooth things over helplessly.
Every time there was a conflict in the team, he always came forward to appease, feeling like a kindergarten aunt.
Jiang Feng blinked his eyes, pointed to the star pattern on the back of his palm, and hinted to his boyfriend.
Gao Fei nodded in understanding.
Jiang Feng meant that he should open the star disk at the ceremony site and do a live broadcast.
In this way, the five people who stayed in the shed could watch the celebration ceremony of Bixi through the star disk without leaving home.
After making all the arrangements, Jiang Feng, Ma Tao, Ma Yun, Qi Tian and Wang Daqing returned to the shed. Gao Fei and Tang Ning followed Pep across the wooden bridge and followed the crowd to the swamp outside the village.
On the way to the sacrifice site, Gao Fei noticed that the men, women, young and old in the village were dressed up very solemnly.
The women wore bone-carved jewelry, the men had gorgeous bird-of-paradise feathers in their hair, and their upper bodies were naked, revealing their proud tattoos.
