Abnormal paradise - #506 - Chapter 499 Worshiping the Mountain
Gurgling, gurgling, gurgling…
A pot of thick, pale green liquid was boiled on a modern stove and kept churning. The toxic bubbles that emerged from the bottom of the pot were all vented out by the ventilation device, so that the bright medicine laboratory did not become smoky.
Standing behind the anti-corrosion floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the green liquid becoming thicker and pockmarked on her face, the old witch was half satisfied and half regretful: “Cook it over high fire for another day, and the liquid will condense into a paste. Jie Jie Jie Jie, the old men in the human world are fighting for their lives again! Unfortunately, this ointment cannot be sold openly, and can only be secretly refined every few days. This is thanks to human technology, which can eliminate as much traces of refining the ointment as possible. Otherwise, mother-in-law, I won’t even be able to earn some extra money…”
Even if she is like the old witch, the senior members of the Council of Elders would not dare to make a big show of refining banned drugs under the eyes of the Fairy Tale Police Station.
Buying materials, making potions, and selling them secretly all need to be done secretly. For this reason, the old witch had to share a few percent of the proceeds with the partners, including Sheriff Black Cat, to open up various links. However, even after the profits were distributed several times, the share that finally fell into the hands of the old witch was enough to win over people and stabilize her position.
But people are greedy, especially villains like the old witch. Thinking of how much money I had to miss every minute, my wrinkled old face couldn’t help but ache.
“When the priest’s matter is settled, mother-in-law, I must find an opportunity to open a medicine refining laboratory outside Fairy Tale Town! But… I’m afraid Black Cat won’t agree. How can he be willing to let go of my money tree? Well, definitely You have to hide it from him.” The old witch’s eyes were full of cunning.
But just at this moment, a crow flew close and chirped loudly: “Grandma, grandma, the black cat is coming!”
Black cat?
Why did you choose this time to come?
Doesn’t he know that the current situation between the two parties has reached the point of incompatibility?
The news of the battle for the dragon’s head and the scepter had long since fallen into the ears of the old witch. When she heard that the black cat had taken away the scepter and the priest had crushed the battle axe, she could not tell whether she was happy or worried. In short, all the talking heads of the Elder Council are waiting for the next move of the demon priest who has taken refuge in the police. But just when a spark can cause conflict, the black cat suddenly arrives, which makes the old witch feel strange.
“Let’s meet him and see what this old cat has to say.”
The old witch walked to the living room step by step on crutches.
Gradually integrating with human society, the gloomy witch cabin has long become a thing of the past. In the past, the old witch was alone and too lazy to clean up. Now she has a lot of people, so naturally someone will clean every corner.
In the living room, someone had already taken the old witch’s place to entertain the black cat sergeant who suddenly visited.
However, the old witch’s face darkened, because many elders challenged her about the tiger kitten helping the police. When she saw the tiger kitten sneaking back, the old witch immediately put her in a cage. Unexpectedly, within a short time, she appeared in the living room and took on the responsibility of entertaining guests.
“Baby, you’re not good again. Mother-in-law, I’m very unhappy!”
The old witch stared at the tiger kitten pretending to be obedient with a sullen face, tapping her cane hard and making a dull sound.
As the pet of the old witch, the tiger kitten turned against the enemy, which obviously violated its role. Although the old witch only planned to confine her for half an hour because “the cat has no evil intentions”, the tiger kitten’s character naturally couldn’t stay there for even a minute.
Half-Ear saw the tiger-skinned kitten wink frequently, and calmly took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then told the results of the negotiations between Yi Yan and Director Lion King one by one, which instantly made the old witch forget about aggravating the punishment.
“If the priest becomes a lifelong talker, my mother-in-law and I can sell medicine normally?”
The old witch, who was planning to increase her income, was immediately moved. After all, underground business cannot be seen in the light. Even if it escapes the jurisdiction of the Fairy Tale Police Station, it must be concealed from others. If the news leaks out and the protection of the Fairy Tale Police Station is lost, the strong human beings can take action without any scruples, and the consequences will be disastrous!
Although it becomes a legitimate business, you will definitely have to pay a heavy tax, but the peace of mind is the best!
If the sky falls, there will be a tall man to hold it up. The fairy tale police station cannot hold it up, and there is also the devil priest, a life-long talker, to hold it up. Mother-in-law, I can naturally sit back and relax.
It was she who supported the position of the Demonic Priest. If she could become a lifelong talker, it would be of great benefit to the old witch herself. Therefore, after just a moment of thinking and clarifying the pros and cons, the old witch agreed to the police recruitment on the spot, and then began to take the initiative to make suggestions for Ember as a lifelong talker.
“Quickly, get the priest to my mother-in-law. That guy doesn’t follow the rules. If you want to pass the senatorial vote, you can’t just rely on your fists!”
The old witch ordered someone to notify, and Ember came shortly after.
Because of the incident with the Ghost Assassin Group, he went back to the church first and took all the legendary brothers with him. He was hesitating whether to go straight to Huanglong, but he received a summons halfway and went directly to the old witch’s territory.
Just like the first time they met, the old witch complained again and again because the priest did not follow the rules. It was not until she had revealed her true feelings that she said with satisfaction to Ember, who had not retorted: “I supported you last time. Sir, my mother-in-law, I took you to meet some elders. This time you want to be re-elected for life, and of course you have to follow the old rules! The lion is right. If you get two-thirds of the votes, you can get what you want. But The premise of all this is that the three remaining founding elders must nod and agree to convene an election meeting for you!”
“Please give me advice, mother-in-law.” The demon priest sat upright, showing no arrogance at all.
The old witch’s smile suddenly increased: “Huh, since your attitude is quite good, I can nod my mother-in-law, and the toothless old wolf should have no objection. But the old dragon is not as easy to deal with as me. Well, even if Director Lion King shows his sincerity, you must be prepared to be made things difficult for you!”
Seeing two people and a cat looking at her at the same time, the old witch explained slowly: “The Seven Halloween Streets were originally united by the dragon god, so the dragon-headed scepter became the symbol of the giant speaker. When the Dragon God dies, his descendants automatically retain the status of elders. Father, you should understand how difficult it is to get the Dragon God’s son to let go. You are trying to do something that even the Dragon God has not been able to do!”
“Um.”
“Now that you understand, let’s go. Mother-in-law, I will take you to worship at the top of the mountain!”
“Meow!”
“Okay, okay, baby, come with me. My mother-in-law blamed you wrongly. I will pay you five dried fish with honey sauce later, okay?”
“Meow meow meow~!”
…
Crack! Crackling…
Dancing electric snakes, swirling in purple light, flashed frequently in the treatment room of a mental hospital.
Peeping through the secrets, he watched with solemn eyes. The man in a white coat, who was not a Taoist priest, used a strange device like a ruler to release high-voltage current to restore calm to several manic patients.
“It is not the ability of a Taoist priest. Although it is not as good as the number one player, it is not unmatched. The lightning element can increase the power of thunder and lightning magic to a level far beyond the surface level! An instant burst is enough to kill nearby gods. The overclocking offensive that borrows the magical special effect [Thunder Body] can even compete with the weaker [Starry Sky Ancient God]. Among game characters in the same realm, only the best at the level of Ms. Sun Chang** Shadow can do it.”
Peeping through the secrets secretly sighed, it is not a Taoist priest who can securely defend the two and fight for the first. It has its own uniqueness. When two people fight, the outcome is unpredictable. Although he has long been the spokesperson of future technology, why is he not highly regarded by the university and the Creator if he is not a Taoist? I’m afraid I only have a lot more resources than him!
“The pressure of competition is huge! Even if we can join forces to defeat the number one player, even if I am not a Taoist priest, I will not give up the secrets of the big library easily. The Creator gave him an order, and he will not let me take away the secrets to help the future technology and win the ranking. The fight…”
His sharp eyes flashed with light, and he immediately looked at the manic patient who had been shocked by high-voltage electricity but was merely paralyzed. A special term quickly appeared on the electronic lens – cyberpsychosis!
This disease is very common in the future world because [electronic prostheses] have long been widely accepted. But once transplanted too much, humanity will gradually be lost and reduced to a disorderly existence similar to an intelligent machine.
Hence the name cyberpsychosis.
A special disease that belongs to the future world appears in the copy space of the big library. It can be seen that human society outside the fairy tale town has already reached an extremely advanced level of technology. Even without the use of truth bombs, they still have the power to suppress fairy tale creatures, so the lion king and the devil king and other powerful gods attach so much importance to human reactions.
It was not the Taoist priest who solved the mental illness. He put away the electronic “ruler” which was actually a lightning strike peach wood sword. Then he looked indifferently at Peeping Heaven and said calmly: “The Taoist priest has no objection to joining forces to deal with the number one player, but there is one thing we must do.” You need to make it clear in advance that the Creator has named the secret treasure in the big library, do you think the old master will let you?”
“You can negotiate the price of everything, just make a price.” Zhi Po Tianji showed off the style of an information dealer. Among the current top players, he belongs to a handful of people with the most financial resources.
“This is not a matter of money. The number one player stabbed the Creator in the fish-man plane, causing the veteran to lose some trust. Soon, Soul Song’s true form will arrive. Do you think he will negotiate a price with you?”
“Soul song?”
Peeping Tianji frowned, knowing that this was also a very difficult person.
Those who can possess god-level combat power in the epic stage are all geniuses. Although Soul Song is not as good as special beings such as the Sun Chang** Shadow Lady, after becoming a near god, he also has god-level combat power. Once he is involved, the ownership of the secret will be in trouble again.
“Hey, what are you thinking about now? Let’s get the Dragon Head Scepter from the number one player first! With Soul Song joining us, our confidence can be even higher. Don’t forget, Half an Ear and Master Miao Miao have already stood His side.”
Peeping through the sky shook his head and decided to ignore the matter for the time being: “To be on the safe side, you and I need to find some capable helpers. The number one player has two major abilities, which is difficult to deal with!”
“Can.”
…
Under the leadership of the old witch, Ember first went to worship a big bad wolf that had lost its teeth on the top of the mountain.
As a classic villain in all major fairy tales, the Big Bad Wolf deserves to be the founding father. And he didn’t resist the Demonic Father’s lifelong re-election, because as early as the founding of Fairy Tale Town, the Big Bad Wolf had become a neutral faction, and even slightly favored the Fairy Tale Police Department.
The reason, which made Yu Yan and others dumbfounded, was that the Fairy Tale Police Department allowed the Big Bad Wolf to participate in the food business of Fairy Tale Town!
The pigs, cattle and sheep that are served on the dining table are the Big Bad Wolf’s main business.
Although this aroused strong opposition from some fairy tale characters, entering the human world requires adapting to the rules of the human world, which made the Big Bad Wolf very happy. Over the years, he has become the most law-abiding elder. one.
As soon as the old witch said that the demon priest would be re-elected for life, the Big Bad Wolf’s first reaction was whether his meat business rights would be taken back. After receiving a reassuring reply, he smiled and promised to support Ember on the spot. He knew Ember better than him. The big bad wolf is a hundred times more talkative!
Until he was sent out, Yi Yan was in a daze, and he couldn’t help but sigh that his true nature is not that hard to change…
“Don’t be too happy too early. No matter how smooth it is for Old Wolf, it may be difficult for Old Long. Even if the police station shows sincerity, not everyone will agree on the spot.” The old witch glanced at half an ear and said, Then he looked back at the embers, “I guess that old dragon has received the news and is trying to think of ways to make things difficult for you.”
Just as the old witch expected, Yi Yan suddenly met nine elders in the only castle-like manor in Fairy Tale Town!
Five of them were on the wooing list. They couldn’t make up their minds and chose to come to the respected Dragon King for details.
The remaining three looked coldly at Ember, because these three were the supporters of the Ghost Assassin Group-Bat Marquis, Dryad, and Black Crow. Together with the ghost leader, they formed an extremely classic castle. combination. The reason for coming here this time was mainly about the murder case. They hoped to let the Dragon King come forward and fish out the murderer who was taken away by the police.
“Father, do you still have the nerve to come out?”
The black crow dressed as a doctor immediately started chirping at the top of his lungs. Yi Yan glanced at him quietly, thinking that if he chose the identity of [Crow Doctor], he would probably play this person.
So according to the plot arrangement, the ember at this moment has to sit on the left hand side of the old Dragon King and face the real demon priest.
“Tsk, think about it carefully. It seems quite difficult to use Dr. Crow to participate in the fight for the dragon’s head scepter. Even if I jump back at the beginning, the Fairy Tale Police Department may not support me. The opposition from the Fairy Tale Villains is even lower. Not going anywhere. After all, hard power is not enough, the Demon King will be worried that Dr. Crow will be manipulated at will by Director Lion, causing Halloween Seventh Street to completely lose its independence and initiative.”
With a flash of thought, Yi Yan chose to take out the demon priest’s domineering style. From the storage space that came with him, he slapped the five blood-stained sharp weapons onto the speaker’s table, and with a cold look, Looking directly at Doctor Crow: “You forced me.”
“It’s a joke. If you weren’t greedy for power and wanted to hide the scepter, how could you possibly have killed someone?” The skinny veteran, who was actually a tree demon, immediately countered.
“I can’t stand listening to this, mother-in-law. How many lives have been caused before? The four of you are determined to make trouble everywhere and harm everyone’s interests. It’s time to take care of it!” one of the three founding elders! The old witch hit the nail on the head and made the tree demon unable to reply.
But at this time, an old figure sitting at the head of the long table, facing the embers, spoke.
“No matter what, yes, re-election for life, no!”
The dragon elder with bronze skin and faint traces of scales looked at the embers with his dark gold eyes: “The Dragon God has an order to change the spokesperson every two years. No one can break this rule. If you want to dominate the family, I won’t agree.”
“Old Dragon King, it’s not a matter of whether you agree or disagree. The speakers have changed over the generations, which has indeed prevented one family from becoming dominant, but at what cost?” The old witch once again assisted Ember, “The Demon King was originally suppressed by the Dragon God, but now Instead, it jumped to the head of the Council of Elders… No one family is dominant, and the Seventh Halloween Street is just a mess. Could it be that when it can no longer be controlled, the Demon King becomes the dominant one? Director Lion King sees it more clearly than you do. Choose a suitable one among the talkers, and everyone can accept it. Old Dragon King, what do you think?”
This plot ends in a chapter or two.
