Three days later, on a small hilltop twenty kilometers north of Hulan Motuo City, a small foam metal hut disguised as a red hemlock tree stood quietly among various towering trees.
Pushing open the well-disguised door, the hut revealed comfortable, tiered seating. Directly opposite the seating was a curved soul-guided display screen, similar to a 3D cinema screen. Behind the soul-guided display screen, a finger-thick electron tube extended straight up through the wall disguised as tree bark, connecting to an astronomical telescope hidden in the treetops, disguised as a branch. The telescope, already adjusted, clearly projected the surrounding area of the Hulan Motuo City lord's mansion, nearly thirty kilometers away, onto the soul-guided display screen inside the treehouse. However, no one was watching this scene from inside the treehouse at this moment.
Continuing the view northward, near a small valley sixty kilometers from Hulan Motuo City, Oschin and his group, who had left Hulan Motuo City three days earlier, were now hiding in the surrounding mountain forests.
"This is it. The destination of the swarm of vampire bats we saw three days ago was here. Last night, when we found this place, we saw the swarm flying in the air, emitting that eerie red light that appeared in the city lord's mansion. After the red light completely enveloped the entire village, the village fell into absolute silence. Teacher Shao risked going over to touch the red light, and it's certain that the villagers have been hypnotized or controlled by it." Looking at Oschin and Oscar, who had just arrived, the master proactively explained their discovery to them.
Shifting their gaze to the villagers busy in the medicinal fields below the mountainside, Oscar asked with some doubt, "What are these vampire bats doing? These villagers don't seem to be controlled."
"No, these villagers have been hypnotized by the vampire bats." Before anyone else could speak, Oschin, who had arrived at the same time as Oscar, directly took over the explanation.
"To use hypnosis to control someone permanently and completely, to the point where they wouldn't hesitate to commit suicide, you need to control their subconscious as well.
Controlling the subconscious is on a completely different level than controlling the conscious mind; it's an area even the person themselves can't effectively control. For a hypnotist, to prevent the subject from becoming an idiot, controlling the subconscious requires repeated, intensive hypnosis.
This is what these vampire bats are doing now—hypnotizing the villagers every night. After about a week, the villagers become completely controlled 'normal people.'
This also explains why the evil spirit masters only slaughter the villagers about once a week; only with a week's interval can they create a batch of puppets that can provide them with fresh blood."
"Fresh blood? What's that?" A short sentence appeared in Oschin's words that the two teachers and seven students present couldn't understand.
"It's fresh blood, still warm, just taken from a living person's body. It's neither blood drawn from the body and preserved for a long time until it becomes cold, nor is it blood drawn from a corpse that has lost its vitality.
The reason I thought of this is because of the rumors in the city about sacrifices. Any offerings involved in sacrifices will have various requirements. The blood god that those evil soul masters want to sacrifice to is very likely to need this kind of fresh, still-vital blood.
There may even be higher requirements for this blood, such as the donor being mentally conscious or physically alive when the blood leaves the donor's body."
"That makes sense." After carefully considering Oschin's words, the master nodded slightly. "Judging by the time, either the day after tomorrow or the day after that, those evil soul masters should be making their move on this village.
According to the information I got from Flander, the Spirit Hall is currently working with the Heaven Dou Royal Family and the Barak Royal Family to determine the specific situation at the City Lord's Mansion. They are unlikely to make their move within three days, so we need to help the villagers in front of us."
"Master, won't our actions affect the situation inside the city?"
"That's fine. By tomorrow at the latest, all the Soul Masters involved in this operation will have arrived in Hulan Motuo City.
Although they won't attack the City Lord's Mansion immediately, they will definitely set up an encirclement around it. Even if the evil Soul Masters stationed in the City Lord's Mansion become suspicious because their members sent outside the city haven't returned on time, they won't be able to escape.
In fact, if these evil Soul Masters show themselves because of this, the allied Soul Master teams surrounding the City Lord's Mansion might even thank us." "
Then let's find a secluded spot nearby and set up a camp. Xiao Ao, please put some sound-absorbing camouflage netting on the camp. Then I'll call Lao Zhao over. We don't know if the people those evil Soul Masters sent are Soul Emperors or Soul Kings. If they're Soul Emperors, I might not be safe relying on just myself."
"We need to add an extra layer of insurance. Teacher Shao, you can inform Teacher Zhao. Xiao Ao will take everyone to find a suitable campsite now. Also, is it okay to keep that camp on the mountain outside the city under control for a while?"
"No problem. Just in case, I activated the recording mode before I left. Even if we can't make it back to watch the final battle because of problems here, we can still review the recording."
"Alright, let's get moving."
With the master's order, the students immediately scattered and searched for suitable campsites in the surrounding mountains and forests.
Time passed again, and around 11 p.m. two days later, the dynamic sensing soul tool that Oschin had set up at the entrance of the valley sounded an alarm, waking everyone who was meditating in the camp.
Without saying a word, everyone quickly and silently arrived at the battle/spectator area that had been chosen beforehand.
Oschin, covered by camouflage netting and lying on a large rock at the top of the mountain wall, locked onto a figure wearing a dark red hooded robe through the scope of his Gauss sniper rifle. This person was standing in an open space in the center of the village, with his hands behind his back, waiting for something.
