The witch doctor gasped in pain and couldn’t even speak.
The villagers looked at him in disappointment. No one was willing to speak up for him.
The village chief finally came back to his senses and took a step forward. He said to Chi Jiao, “Little girl, your grudge with the witch doctor has nothing to do with the Deity Stone. Please return the stone. Our village really can’t do without it.”
He could tell that even if this young woman was not a messenger of the Evil Deity, she wasn’t someone to be trifled with.
It was best to be polite to her.
“I’m sorry, I can’t return the Deity Stone to you,” Chi Jiao said as she removed her feet from the witch doctor. She took out a document from her pocket and placed it in front of the village chief. “I’m from the 117 Special Forces. I came to your village to investigate. As Chinese citizens, you have the duty to cooperate with our investigation.”
The village chief’s eyes darkened as he looked at the document.
So, they were from the ZF Organization.
“What 117 Special Forces? Village Chief, we can’t let them take away the Deity Stone!”
“That’s right! If they take away the Deity Stone, what will happen if the people in our village fall sick?”
“Village Chief, we must get them to hand over the Deity Stone!”
“…”
The villagers kept protesting.
The village leader looked at Chi Jiao and shrugged. “You can see for yourself how important the Deity Stone is to the people in our village. We can’t give it to you.”
“You’ve always believed in the Evil Deity, the Deity Stone, and the witch doctor. But why has the mortality rate in your village increased by so much in recent years?” Chi Jiao asked. “There’s no Evil Deity in this world. Your so-called Evil Deity only managed to obtain some special power because of that stone. If he really was a god, how could he have died? He’s just like you folks, just an ordinary person. And this stone is just a stone with a special magnetic field. You might not know what a magnetic field is, but it’s still very foolish of you to expect this stone to cure everyone.”
Pei Yao also stepped forward.
“You saw what happened to your witch doctor. If the Deity Stone is really so effective, why couldn’t it cure his appendicitis? Perhaps you can ask him what the world is like outside.” Pei Yao looked at the villagers with pity.
Most of these villagers had probably never stepped out of this remote village.
Actually, if they had the chance to explore the world outside, they would know how ignorant they were.
When one fell sick, one had to believe in doctors and science instead of blindly seeking the power of so-called deities.
The witch doctor was currently groaning on the ground.
Meeting Chi Jiao’s mild gaze, his body immediately trembled. He said hurriedly, “The world outside is technologically advanced, and medical technology is also very advanced. The hospital is also not like what I previously described. Most doctors are very ethical…”
As he spoke, the witch doctor’s voice became softer and softer, like a mosquito buzzing.
He really wished he could find a hole to hide in now.
