Joseph and Eirinn were speechless when they heard Fangzheng's answer. It wasn't that they didn't know how terrifying this nightmare was, but …
"This nightmare is far more terrible than you can imagine, Foreigner."
After a moment of silence, Eirinn spoke again.
"It's not as simple as what you see. In fact, there's a deeper secret behind it …"
"So?"
Fangzheng didn't seem to care about Eirinn's advice.
"I don't know what secret this town is hiding, but what will happen if this goes on? The Night of Hunting will continue, and those people will have a nervous breakdown, go crazy, and die, just like what we're seeing now. People will fall one after another and become monsters. What else can we do? Wait here until the last moment of our lives? That's not my style. Maybe there'll be more trouble after we defeat the Night of Hunting, and there might be more dangerous existences, but we can't just sit around and do nothing … "
Fangzheng glanced at Eirinn.
"Or are you already prepared to kill those crazy hunters in this endless night of hunting and wait until one of you dies? What's the point of that? Forgive me for my rudeness, but judging from the previous battle, I think you're more likely to die first than those crazy hunters. Besides, even if you die, it won't change anything. "
"… … …"
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Irene could not help but glare at him, while Youssevka remained silent. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she looked up at Eirinn.
"I think Mr. Foreigner is right, Eirinn. We've been running away, but … maybe it's time to change something."
"I don't think he can do it."
Eirinn shook her head in response to Yosefka's words.
"You know, Dr. Yosefka, you know how terrifying the existence behind this nightmare is. It's not something mortals can fight against. That's all we can do for now …. "
"You won't know until you try."
Fangzheng obviously didn't take Eirinn's advice to heart.
"We have to do something. If it's possible, I still hope that you can help me. At least if we fail, I'll be the one who dies. But if we succeed in breaking through all of this, then it will bring new hope to the entire Yanan, won't it? "
"But it could also make things worse."
Eirinn obviously disagreed with Fangzheng's words, and her tone became serious.
"Believe me, stranger. I've been here for a long time, and I've witnessed countless things. Why do you think I'm hunting those crazy hunters? That is my duty, my mission, and also what I can do for them. Death was not scary. It could even be said that it was the true release. When you can't even die and can only fall into endless nightmares, eternal pain and unspeakable curses, that is the true nightmare. "
With that, Irene turned around and left.
"Do not be blinded by the blood, foreigner. The Night of Hunt is just the beginning … You have no idea of the secrets hidden behind it … "
With that, Irene disappeared out the door. Fangzheng looked at Irene's disappearing figure and shook his head.
"I hate this kind of person the most."
"Mr. Foreigner …."
Dr. Yousefka was a little flustered when he heard Fangzheng's complaint.
"Actually, Ms. Eirinn isn't a bad person, but …"
"No, Dr. Yousefka, you don't understand what I mean."
Fangzheng waved his hand.
"Do you know what kind of person I hate the most? The kind of person who thinks she's the only smart one and everyone else is stupid. She said I don't know the secret behind her, so she told me the secret? She didn't tell me, she didn't let me know, and she even tried to stop me …. Don't you think there's something wrong with her? "
"Ugh …."
Upon hearing Fangzheng's grumbles, Youssevka wore a troubled expression. He was at a loss for words.
Fangzheng paused for a moment and looked at Yousefka.
"Dr. Yousefka, you wouldn't do such a thing, would you? We're all smart people, so it's better for everyone to be clear about it. Don't try to fool me with things like 'you have to find it yourself' or 'the truth is still in the process of finding it'. I'm not interested in running a hundred miles to decipher something that can be finished in a few minutes …. "
"… .This …."
Hearing Fangzheng's question, Yousefka was also embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you too much, foreigner. After all, this is the biggest secret of the Church of Healing …. "
"Secret? The world is about to be destroyed, and everyone is going to die. Who's going to listen to this secret? "
Fangzheng shrugged.
"Even if I know, no one can get out of this damn place. What can I do even if I take a loudspeaker and broadcast it on the street? Can I rule the world? Or become the King of Yanan? In the end, those who should hide in their houses will continue to hide, and those who should be killed will continue to be killed. Could the situation be worse than it is now if your secret is leaked? "
"…."
Hearing this, Yousefka was dumbfounded. After a while, she smiled softly.
"Indeed …. Foreigner, as you said, we've been foolishly guarding this secret, but now it seems that it's all because of our selfishness. If that's the case, I'll tell you. I don't know much myself, but the root of it all starts from Yanan's underground graveyard …. "
Through Yousefka's narration, Fangzheng finally learned the secret of this area of Yanan.
In the beginning, it was just a small town with nothing special about it. In this small town, there was an organization called Byron Weiss Academy.
It sounded like a place made up of cultured people, and it was indeed so. These people had nothing to do all day long, so they would think and dig. If they could come up with a Fermat's Last Theorem, it would be considered a contribution to human civilization. But unexpectedly, not only did they not come up with anything good, they even accidentally dug up an ancient ruin hidden under Yanan.
So, these people who had nothing to do and were not academically competent immediately became archaeologists and began to study these ruins. In the end, they found that these ruins were left behind by an ancient civilization called Sumer. What surprised them even more was that in the Sumer ruins, they found many extraordinary existences. For example, giant beasts, mutant monsters, and even various secret techniques and documents ….
If it were an ordinary village man, he would have immediately turned around and run away in fear at the sight of a monster. But the people in the academy were all experts at courting death. As soon as they saw so many amazing discoveries, they would risk their lives to take them!
In the end, although there were heavy casualties during the exploration, the academy really did get a lot of good stuff. Among them, the thing that excited them the most was that, according to the documents excavated from the underground Sumer ruins, this group of ancient Sumerians seemed to have some kind of technology that could allow humans to "evolve" into a higher level of life form!
So, just like in horror movies, Byron Weiss began to study and try to obtain this technology with great enthusiasm. Fangzheng really wanted to ridicule them for not thinking about it. If the Sumerians really succeeded, would humans even have a chance to become the rulers of Earth? Wouldn't they just lose their minds?
Their hard work paid off. The group of old pedants actually managed to come up with this thing. According to the Sumerians' records, the next thing they had to do was to obtain "blessed blood", and then obtain the power to communicate with the ancient gods.
So, Dean William volunteered to be the first test subject. Of course, Fangzheng could not figure out why they did not use animals for the experiment. Perhaps they were afraid that after injecting cats and dogs with divine blood, they would really communicate with the ancient gods and say, "The humans here treat us as experimental animals. Their conscience is gone, please exterminate them." Then, the ancient gods would just snap their fingers and exterminate the human race?
So, just like in horror movies, when the dean was first injected with the divine blood, he felt like he had taken brain platinum. His body was in great shape, and he ate well. Lying in bed, solving Goldbach's conjecture was as easy as eating and drinking. So, the dean felt that he was close to the truth of the universe. When the others saw their own dean turning from a talent to a genius overnight, they could not help it. So, Byron Watson Academy turned into a blood bank and began to recruit a large number of volunteers to inject "divine blood", thus advancing the research on the Sumerian civilization.
