Linchiliu felt that his guess was very correct, and he even made an appropriate guess.
"I guess, if nothing else happens, we may have to send someone into the Evil Temple in the subsequent missions."
Linchi Liu held his chin, with a serious look on his face: "Who to send in then is a big question."
"These are some of my ideas, I hope they will be useful in advancing the copy process."
After Linchiliu expressed his thoughts, he walked down from above.
"That's a good question indeed."
Jiang Yao nodded to Linchi Liu Qing and wrote down Linchi Liu's thoughts in her notebook.
The sound of rustling pages was heard from below, which was particularly noticeable in the moment of silence.
There are still Song Tan, Lu Xingye, Jiang Yubai and Jiang Yaoqing who have not expressed their opinions.
"Let me do it."
After Linchiliu came down, Lu Xingye stood up immediately.
"My identity is a college student who comes to Changyuan Village for summer social practice."
Lu Xingye walked to the whiteboard, picked up the whiteboard pen and wrote his identity on the whiteboard.
"My main task today is to escort the third batch of corpses with Captain Jiang Yaoqing."
"Everyone has already said a lot about the corpse hunter and the corpse, and the clues are comprehensive. I have nothing to add."
"There are two things I want to say now. The first is religion, and the second is totem."
Lu Xingye took out a drawing from his bag and pasted it on the whiteboard with a magnet.
The people below looked a little confused, and their eyes were all focused on Lu Xingye.
"After accompanying Captain Jiang Yaoqing to complete the water quality test this afternoon, I checked the items in my schoolbag and found a notebook and a totem-style rubbing object."
Lu Xingye cleared his throat and explained: "The content in the notebook is an overview of the religious beliefs in the Changyuan Village area."
"Everyone can pass it around and take a look."
After saying that, Lu Xingye took out the notebook from his schoolbag and handed it to Jiang Yaoqing.
"According to what is written in the notebook, the area around Qinghe Town in Changyuan Village is located in the Yadis Multi-Religious Area [1]."
"The Yadis religion has only one purpose: happiness in this life will continue into the next life."
"They emphasize hard work in this life and do not advocate blind enjoyment. Moreover, they deeply believe that all the good things they do in this life will continue to the next life."
"I guess this may be Song Qinghe's original intention of dedicating himself to welfare undertakings."
Lu Xingye then spoke: "While searching for information, I also discovered a problem."
"The views on women in the Adishist religious community are extremely backward, and men have a very high status here. This also forms the root of their evil hidden in their bones - abusing women."
Lu Xingye wrote these four words on the whiteboard: "They think women are appendages, objects that satisfy physiological needs and reproduce offspring."
"This also leads to a very serious problem. Women who have been oppressed for a long time unite to resist the men in this area."
"So I suspect that the deaths of women and children in Changyuan Village may not be as complicated as we think."
"To put it simply, it is very likely that the local villagers did it themselves."
"In order to deceive people, they came up with the term demon spirits to confuse the public, and even blamed all mistakes on the evil god."
Hearing this, Linchi Liu raised his hand.
"I think what Xiaolu said makes sense. In fact, after careful analysis, we can see that the scene of the woman's sacrifice at the end of the play is also consistent with their backward view of women."
Lu Xingye nodded: "This is one of them."
"This second one is the totem I just posted here."
Lu Xingye turned slightly and exposed the totem paper behind him in front of everyone.
Jiang Yaoqing took the notebook that had been passed around and looked up at the totem behind Lu Xingye.
A feeling of déjà vu.
I seem to have seen it somewhere.
"There are a few records about totems," Lu Xingye said. "What we know for now is that people with such totems usually become the leaders of a race."
"And it cannot be in large-scale contact with water. The results of the contact are not yet known."
After saying that, Lu Xingye signaled: "That's what I want to say."
Lu Xingye returned to his seat, Jiang Yaoqing looked at the records in her notebook and looked at Jiang Yubai beside her.
Jiang Yubai stood up.
"My identity is the captain of the police force."
"The main task today is to escort the second batch of corpse exterminators. In the afternoon, I went to Bai Shiyuan to test the water quality with Yao Qing. By the way, I sent someone to Magnolia Mountain for inspection."
"The police force has just reported the information back to me. Due to system limitations, I couldn't get the paper version of the materials, so I just relayed it orally."
"It's very different from what everyone guessed. There are a large number of corpses buried at the bottom of the river downstream of Magnolia Mountain."
Jiang Yubai's voice was cold, and the emotion inside could not be heard clearly: "Currently, the Magnolia Mountain area has been sealed off, and a salvage operation has been launched to recover the bodies."
"The recovered bodies have been sent to the police station for identification. The news just came back that the death time of these bodies may have been five years ago."
"Coupled with water corrosion, the time limit may be almost five years."
"According to forensic examination, most of the bodies recovered are children and women. Very rarely are the bones of men found."
"Interestingly," Jiang Yubai paused, "these corpses, without exception, have traces of injuries on the leg bones and arm bones."
"It would be fine if one or two people have this phenomenon, but what is outrageous is that everyone who has recovered the bodies currently has this phenomenon."
Jiang Yubai said: "I suspect that this may be a local bad custom, a large-scale mass suicide."
"But the relevant information has not been confirmed yet, and it is still unclear."
"That's all I have to say."
Jiang Yaoqing and Song Tan looked at each other, and Song Tan chuckled: "Just right, I think I have a good answer to Jiang Yubai's remarks."
After Jiang Yubai sat down, Song Tan stood up immediately.
"I am a professor of the archaeological team, and currently I am the team leader of Changyuan Village's funeral custom archeology team."
"The main task today is to lead the first batch of escort missions. I talked with Song Qinghe's secretary, Yan Huanxue, in the afternoon."
"I have relayed the content of the conversation to everyone in real time, so I will not repeat it here."
"What I'm going to talk about now is a kind of witchcraft called - picking and cutting[2]."
"This is a very cruel form of witchcraft."
"Its audience is mainly children, and later it expanded to women. There are two forms of expression. First, cutting off human limbs, and second, killing people and then dismembering them."
"Its purpose is also divided into two types. First, it uses the ears, eyes, internal organs and the like as medicine to deceive the patient."
"Second, collect living souls, or collect living souls to sacrifice to ghosts."
"Jiang Yubai just mentioned that there are a large number of corpses with broken limbs in the rivers of Magnolia Mountain. I suspect it is related to this witchcraft."
"Moreover," Song Tan raised his eyebrows and pushed up his glasses, "Don't forget, the name of our copy is [Witch Gu Burial]."
