Shanzun?
Descendants?
Lin Yan could tell that the so-called Sun Chasers didn’t rely on a fixed secret passage to pass through the Chaotic Fog, but through some biological external force.
At this moment, this mysterious creature called Shanzun seemed to have sensed danger and left in advance?
From their expressions, it was obvious that Shanzun was not on call. Therefore, these people had no way to pass through the Chaotic Fog?
Lin Yan was speechless. So this was the outcome after running with them for so long?
Forget it, forget it. He would wait for the Chaotic Fog on the coast to open next time before swimming out with the steamship.
Lin Yan was just about to snatch back the figurine and quietly retreat when he saw the two of them think of something. Their expressions were extremely gloomy as they looked at the Chaotic Fog outside the wall.
Lin Yan looked over at the same time and realized that the Chaotic Fog seemed to have moved!
Like a heartbeat, the Chaotic Fog suddenly expanded before contracting. It was unknown if it was Lin Yan’s imagination, but the Chaotic Fog seemed to be closer to the wall!
“As expected, it seems that Shanzun won’t let his children approach this place until it’s over.”
Hua Ling and Niu Jing’s expressions were extremely ugly.
Cheng Yu’er’s expression suddenly changed. “Don’t tell me you’re saying that the Chaotic Fog is going to riot again? Impossible! How long has it been since the last riot? It hasn’t even been two months! The prefecture capital has already been attacked by the Chaotic Fog once, and a total of six to seven districts have fallen.
“After such a large-scale riot, logically speaking, the Chaotic Fog won’t change on a large scale in twenty years. This is the publicly recognized law of the Chaotic Fog in the academic world. It’s impossible to be wrong!”
Niu Jing snorted coldly. “Rules? The Chaotic Fog is not the sun, moon, or stars. How can there be rules?”
Hua Ling sighed and said, “But you’re right. This shouldn’t be a riot of the Chaotic Fog. Otherwise, we would have long been drowned by the Chaotic Fog. There’s a high chance that this is just an… Encircled Hunt!”
“Encircled Hunt?” Cheng Yu’er was dumbfounded. This term did not sound like it matched the Chaotic Fog at all.
Niu Jing snorted coldly and did not say anything. Instead, he turned around and flipped back.
Hua Ling explained in a low voice, “Since you’re about to join us, there’s no harm in telling you these secrets.
“Old Cheng told you, right? What will become of those people who have been planted with the Spirit Marrow?”
Cheng Yu’er’s eyes narrowed. “He never explained it in detail, but when 1 followed him, I… saw it with my own eyes once.”
A look of horror and fear appeared on her face.
Hua Ling nodded. “Then it’s simple to explain. According to our records and understanding over the years, most of the time, these people who have been planted with Spirit Marrow are no different from ordinary people. It can even be said that they are ordinary people.
“Only under the stimulation of certain special circumstances will they suddenly lose a portion of themselves, or even all of themselves, and become a part of a huge overall consciousness.
“Therefore, we call them Puppet People.
“They seem to have self-awareness, but their consciousnesses can gather and act for the same goal.
“They look no different from ordinary people, but in fact, each of them is a part of a whole!”
Cheng Yu’er gasped. She knew that there would be problems with planting the Spirit Marrow, but she did not expect it to be such an abnormal method!
It was hair-raising.
Lin Yan, who was at the side, was also rather surprised. Puppet People. This description was quite reasonable, but Sun Chasers seemed to think that all the puppets would form a single entity. They didn’t know what the existence holding the rope behind all the puppets was.
These were clearly secrets. Even Liu Lanqing probably didn’t know back then, but the Sun Chasers knew. Lin Yan was naturally in no hurry to leave. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
“Don’t worry. Puppets are usually no different from ordinary people. They will only react when facing special stimulation.
“There aren’t many special circumstances that can stimulate their reaction.
“After a long time of recording and observation, our Sun Chasers have concluded many events that are relatively easy to attract the attention of the Puppet People. As long as we avoid them accordingly, we won’t agitate the Puppet People.”
Cheng Yu’er asked, “So this Encircled Hunt was also created by the Puppet People? They can also control the Chaotic Fog?”
“It’s not accurate to say that they are controlling it. It should be said that the Chaotic Fog is cooperating with them.
“The Encircled Hunt is just a joke. This is the most common event. The encirclement is naturally the Chaotic Fog. What it hunts are Natural People who resist and threaten the Puppet People!”
Cheng Yu’er listened very seriously and kept nodding.
“According to statistics, at least 80% of the people in the prefecture capital have planted Spirit Marrow. They already occupy almost all the centers of power and institutions in the entire prefecture capital.
“Under the rule of the Puppet People, the entire prefecture capital is extremely oppressive. The rich and powerful siphon all resources. The nobles are high and mighty, and the various power families and sects alternate. Only the commoners are like grass and servants. They are trapped in one place for the rest of their lives and work like oxen and horses. They are in danger every day.
“It’s naturally impossible for the Puppet People to rebel, but Natural People will.
“Due to various reasons, or rather, the instincts of these Natural People who were born as humans, they were not assimilated into puppets.
“They suppress their humanity like countless incompatible bombs embedded in the puppet society.. When they suppress it to the extreme, they will explode with a bang!
