Savior Simulator

Chapter 868 Sacrifice
In this situation, a villager who claimed to be the reincarnation of the "Crocodile God" stepped forward, showing extraordinary power, claiming to follow the tradition, lead his compatriots to hunt down feuds, hold blood sacrifices with the heads of old enemies, restore the balance of the world order, and Who can resist this provocative call?

Gao Fei asked himself, if he was an ordinary young man in Piri En Village, and he saw Andre transformed into a giant crocodile, he would worship this "man of God" from the bottom of his heart, respect him as the savior, and voluntarily fight for him. At the expense of life.

After all, religion is an anesthetic for the toiling masses.

As a traveler from the "civilized world", Gao Fei was initially curious and disdainful about the barbaric traditions of the Asmat people.

When he came to Pirien Village, he had a deep understanding of the local cultural background and life difficulties, and his mentality changed accordingly, with more sympathy and helplessness.

The residents of Pirien Village, bewitched by Andre the Crocodile, tried to revive the bloody headhunting tradition, which is of course a barbaric and wrong approach.

However, if you don’t consider the deteriorating environment in the Asmat area, and the mutated monsters rampant in the jungle and swamps are encroaching on the living space of the local villagers, it’s too barbaric and ignorant to simply criticize these poor people who have returned to tradition out of despair , that would be too unfair.

Apart from plundering the natural resources of the aborigines, has the so-called civilized world done anything for them?
At least as far as the Batavian authorities are concerned, they haven't made any efforts to eradicate the mutant monsters that are rampant in the Asmat area. Rather, they are letting the aborigines fend for themselves.

No wonder, then, that the locals are fighting natural disasters and struggling to survive in their own way, albeit a savage one.

Just as Gao Fei was lost in thought, four villagers walked in.

Among them, three well-built young men lifted the Bixizhu together, moved out of the house, and headed towards the swamp.

There is 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 when he heard it, and shook his head flatly before he finished speaking.

The other party did not give up and continued to lobby.

Pep became more and more impatient, suddenly his face darkened, and he pushed him out of the door.

The dialect used by the two of them was both uncommon and fast. Gao Fei was too far away, and the simultaneous interpretation of the astrolabe was not accurate enough. They could only roughly hear what kind of ceremony the person invited tourists to visit. He has a little benefit, as an admission ticket.

For unknown reasons, Pep rejected his invitation on behalf of all his teammates.

Gao Fei was listening beside him, feeling regretful.

In fact, he was very interested in what the villagers called "grand ceremonies", even if it cost a little money, he wanted to see the world.

But Pep refused, and he couldn't say anything.

At this time, Tangning took out the magic lipstick and applied "Smart Words" on her lips. She walked out the door quickly, waved at the middle-aged villager, and began to chat with him in the local dialect.

Pep was very displeased with Tangning's way of directly negotiating with the villagers, bypassing himself as a guide, and stood at the door and yelled at Tangning.

Since the acquaintance, this was the first time that 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 try to persuade him to fight.

"That's right, that person invited us to go to the swamp to watch the upcoming Bixi celebration ceremony." Tangning lowered her voice and explained to Gao Fei, "This ceremony is like the general mobilization of the war in Pirien Village. After the ceremony is over, the final Tomorrow night, a new round of headhunting war is about to break out, and the opposing camp is the feud of Pirien Village—Xiulu Village."

"I've heard about Bissi's celebration ceremony for a long time. It's a rare opportunity to be there in person. Of course, I want to watch it. However, Brother Pep is very stubborn and firmly refuses to allow us to visit." Tangning looked helplessly at Pep, who was still sulking. .

Gao Fei nodded, then turned to Pep and asked, "Brother, I'm also curious about the Bissi celebration ceremony. Since the locals invited us to visit, there is nothing taboo about it. Why don't you agree?"

"It's nothing to see, it's too bloody." Pep took out his pipe sullenly.

"We've seen bloody scenes a lot, and this time is not bad." Gao Fei smiled and helped him light a cigarette.

Pepper remained silent, took two puffs of his pipe, and reluctantly opened his mouth.

"If I have to go, I have two conditions."

"You said."

"First, no matter what you see, don't meddle in other people's business; second, you and Tangning can come with me, and the others will stay in the shed and wait."

"The first condition is fine. As for the second condition... I don't understand why other people can't go." Gao Fei was puzzled.

Peipu glanced at Jiang Feng, Ma Tao, Ma Yun, Qi Tian, ​​Wang Daqing and the others, his expression was extremely complicated, and he didn't make a sound.

"I guess Brother Pep means that the others are either too young to watch the bloody scene, or they are too sympathetic and have a sense of justice, lest they can't help meddling in their own business," Tangning said in a low voice.

"Okay, I understand." Gao Fei smiled bitterly, turned back to his teammates, and relayed Pep's request.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling baffled that Pep had left them behind.

"We are all colleagues. Brother Pep treats people differently, isn't it good?" Ma Tao couldn't help complaining.

"In any case, he did this for your own good." Gao Fei patiently explained.

"Hehe! My dad often tells me that too!" Qi Tian sneered.

Ma Yun, another rebellious kid in the team, also disapproved of Pep's "father-like" approach.

"Brother Pep is an elder and a local after all, so he must be more thoughtful than us, so let's just listen to his arrangements." Wang Daqing smoothed things over helplessly.

Every time there was a conflict in the team, he always stepped forward to appease him, feeling like a kindergarten aunt.

Jiang Feng blinked his eyes, pointed to the star pattern on the back of his palm, and hinted at his boyfriend.

Gao Fei nodded understandingly.

What Jiang Feng meant was for him to open the astrolabe at the ceremony and have a live broadcast.

In this way, the five people who stayed behind in the shed could watch Bixi's celebration ceremony through the astrolabe without leaving home.

After the arrangements were made, Jiang Feng, Ma Tao, Ma Yun, Qi Tian, ​​and Wang Daqing returned to the hut. Gao Fei and Tangning followed Pep, crossed the single-plank bridge, and followed the crowd to the swamp outside the village.

On the way to the sacrificial site, Gao Fei noticed that all the men, women, old and children in the village were all dressed up solemnly.

The women wore bone-carved jewelry, the men had gorgeous bird-of-paradise feathers on their heads, and their bare upper bodies revealed their proud tattoos.
