Chapter 865 - 864: Hawkeye
The people below were suddenly in an uproar, but it wasn’t because Shi Lei’s words were clearly deceptive, rather it was the content of his speech!Beisitian now felt that these people’s intelligence was probably averaging only thirty? They couldn’t even distinguish basic truths from lies.
She understood that it wasn’t their intelligence that had dropped, but that those infected with the hypnotic bacteria had an unusual level of identification with the virus carrier, essentially believing everything he said was correct.
She had read in some Xuan Medical Family legends or short stories that someone in the past had cultivated hypnotic bacteria, which had effects many times greater than what is seen today. When people of leisure obtained it back then, it directly incited rebellion.
This person used the hypnotic bacteria to recruit a large number of young and strong civilians, attempting to overthrow the ruling government at the time. If they received support, they would quite literally have been second only to one but above millions.
At that time, it was just some outlaws who had gained the bacteria, but if deceitful ministers had obtained it, the court would likely have switched leaders long ago!
After the bloody suppression by the government, they focused their attention on the Xuan Doctors, intending to use them if possible. If not, they would be completely eradicated, doing away with future threats!
Beisitian couldn’t find any more about what happened later, but indeed, such a thing posed a significant threat to the government back then and would definitely not be tolerated!
Unless it was entirely controlled by the state.
Looking at the hypnotic bacteria’s effects now, they weren’t as potent as described in the stories, but if developed further, it could easily become a disaster.
For example, if the Shi Family were to gradually control the Xuan Medical Families and sects in Beijing and the surrounding areas with this bacteria for their own ambitions, it would truly be a catastrophe!
History has proven that this country is not suited for dictatorship, and hypnotic bacteria just happens to be the best remedy for a dictator!
As Beisitian was lost in thought, a few men and women behind Shi Lei began bringing up a large porcelain urn.
"Everyone, time is tight. We will proceed to collect our medication in reverse order, and I ask you all to drink it immediately." Shi Lei announced loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, some cooperated by standing up and gradually walking forward.
The large fan nearby continued to blow, and under the influence of the medication, these people didn’t feel their actions were strange, but rather increasingly justified.
An exceptionally bizarre scene unfolded at this auction gathering, with one bidder after another lining up to collect their ’good medicine.’
Beisitian did not stand up, and naturally, neither did Qingyu and the others. Not just them, but also the table to their front left remained seated.
Seeing the people still seated below, Shi Lei glanced at the large fan beside him, squinted his eyes, and understood what was happening.
"You all must have exceptional talents and do not need medicine to enhance your aptitude. How about you take a rest at the back?" Shi Lei’s words sounded like a question, but he still waved his hand.
With his gesture, more than ten sturdy men suddenly rushed out from the back, surrounding the three tables with guns in hand.
Wei Zhongyuan and Qiao Hongjie were at one table, with Yan Jiu and Feng Qi calmly sitting beside them, having already reached into their inner clothing before these men approached.
For those lining up, they watched with interest at the sight unfolding, with some even speaking up with chuckling comments.
"These ungrateful people should be picked up and thrown out!" someone from the Chen Family sneered as they observed the people below.
"Throwing them out would be too kind; they should be executed. How ungrateful!" Tao Hailin spoke with disdain, his arms crossed.
"Indeed, Mr. Shi is such a good person, providing everyone with medicine to enhance their aptitude, yet these people don’t appreciate it at all!"
Those in line looked at the three tables of people who remained seated as if they were fools, truly unable to see the situation they were in!
Except for Beisitian, those at the three tables below were seeing for the first time a crowd infected with the hypnotic bacteria, and their behavior was genuinely astonishing.
Even the usually expressionless Wei Zhongyuan was now intently watching them, not missing a single move or word.
At this moment, the young man at the table in front left slowly stood up, "Shi Lei, originally named Zhang Di, wanted for producing illicit drugs resulting in the deaths of 32 innocents and irreparable harm to 107, on the run for twelve years!"
The cool voice was like a splash of cold water on Shi Lei, no, Zhang Di’s heart, causing him to show a look of terror as he glared at the young man and exclaimed with hatred, "You’re... Hawkeye?!"
Mentioning Hawkeye made Zhang Di grind his teeth in hatred, while also feeling a chill in his heart, filled with fear and dread.
A few years ago, he had been relentlessly pursued, leaving him with no choice but to flee overseas, living in Vietnam and Laos. The conditions there were harsh, and to evade Hawkeye’s chase, he lived worse than a dog!
In recent years, Hawkeye unexpectedly eased up on him, so after two years of observation, he decided to take the risk and return. After returning, he’d lay low for half a year without hearing any news of Hawkeye, thinking perhaps everyone inside had died off.
While cursing Hawkeye, Zhang Di started looking for ways to regain his peak, and at that time he came across a group of people, leading to a new opportunity.
He never expected that just as he began to emerge, he encountered Hawkeye and his people again, right as he was caught red-handed!
He couldn’t believe that there were only a few people present!
With this thought, Zhang Di suddenly became nervous, "Catch these people for me!"
With Zhang Di’s command, those ten or so men charged forward like a horde, counting in Beisitian’s side as well.
The young man shook his hand to release three Xuan Talismans, which at this moment did not appear to be light, talisman paper, but shot towards the three people like stones.
The Xuan Talismans exploded instantly about ten centimeters away from these three, an invisible shockwave scattering them. Blood streamed from their noses and mouths, their minds turned blurry, and with three thuds, they collapsed to the ground.
Most of the attackers were targeting the table at the front left, while three or four surrounded Beisitian and her group.
"How about a dose of happy laughter for you!" Desan flung out two Xuan Talismans, plastered like zombie stickers on two people’s faces, immediately causing them to sit down on the ground and burst into crazed laughter.
"Now taste a dose of powerful crying!" Desan threw out two more Xuan Talismans, sticking them to the two individuals’ faces, resulting in them opening their mouths and bursting into tears, snot and tears flying everywhere, all semblance of dignity gone!
Desan cheerfully dealt with four people, but it was evident that his main focus was on healing and saving people, and in terms of fighting talismans, he was not particularly exceptional, much less so compared to that young man.
