"When I arrived that day, I heard them arguing outside the door. But when I entered and appeared in front of everyone, the debate stopped immediately. Then, the village chief's long speech, and the villagers began to evacuate without any objection."

"Hahaha! Obviously, this is very unnatural. I was having a big fuss just now, why didn't you make a noise when you go in? Are you a big guy? What ability does an eleven-year-old kid have to stop them from arguing? It's fun, so interesting! So, so?"

"...So, early the next morning, I started looking. Finally, on the stove, I found the village chief's second lie."

"Vase! Hehe, right? It seems that my luck is quite high~~~!... OK, okay, continue to say, I won't interrupt."

"It's the vase. I've checked the flowers, they are real flowers. But is it normal to put flowers on the stove that will make you hot? Of course, it's summer now and the stove won't be used frequently, so it's nothing to put them in. But when I picked up the vase, I saw a very clear placement mark below. And that trace must be something that has been placed for a long time and has not been moved for more than two or three years."

"After that, I checked the photo frames, decorations, etc. next to it. I found that the marks under it were almost the same. If I wanted to place the vase, the place on the stove was actually very free. Why didn't I just put it on like this and change the thing that was originally placed there for a vase? What exactly was it that was placed here? I had to remove it so quickly? Moreover, I changed it to cover it up with something similar in size and shape?"

"Then I started looking for various places to pile up garbage. Finally, I was in that garbage dump and found what I was looking for-"

"A sculpture."

"Specifically, it was not a complete sculpture, but a sculpture with only a black base. It can be seen that what should be on the base should be, but it was destroyed, so it was impossible to distinguish. Judging from the size and the coloring marks left on the mark, this thing was obviously what was originally placed on the vase mark. But the village chief took such a sculpture from his home to such a remote garbage dump and threw it away. What was the reason that made me immediately suspicious."

"Why didn't he want me to see the sculpture? What would happen if I saw the sculpture? These two questions, I got answers in the subsequent bonfire meeting."

"According to his words, he began to resist Weimen a year ago. Since he started to resist, of course he would not place sculptures of the object of resistance in his home. So, this is another big lie he told. Through a drama of "heroes are lonely and no one encouraged" performed by all the villagers, I will deepen his impression of resisting for two years."

"Haha, that is to say, the fact that he was found by you completely broke the mask of his rebel! Not only did he not eliminate your doubts, but he made your doubts even more, right? Interesting. So, please tell me what the village chief’s real intention is!”

"...His true intention...is a true sacrifice. For real sacrifices, it is probably neither the so-called food nor half of its lifespan, but..."

"The life of a young child."

Speaking of this, the idiot unconsciously lowered her head and looked at the bread in her arms. Amid the noise of fighting in the distance, her face was a little pale. Seeing this, the idiot couldn't help but hug her a little tighter again, lowered her head, and put her forehead on her little face...

"In the days I lived in the village, I have never seen children walking or playing on the road. When I went to their home, I only saw my mother huddling in the corner with her children. After that, I remembered the first night I came and heard the discussion outside the village chief's house, saying, 'Last year, so I made sacrifices, and it's yourselves. This is your idea. Now there is no way, and it's yours to do it'. In addition, the three children of the village chief's family were all upstairs, looking like they were afraid of being caught... "

"Hahahahaha! It's really interesting inference, but not perfect. It doesn't mean that the offering must be a child, you have to give more correct evidence."

"The evidence is what Mr. Campa said before I left school—"

“There was a military blockade on the border of the empire to find rebels.”

"The military blockade was only implemented this year. But why did the village of Desapush, which was still in peace last year, fall into trouble this year when it was blocked? Cooperating with the lies of the village chief, the abnormal behavior of the children and mothers in the village, and then judged by the people who arrived at the village were me and bread, not other adults or women, this village is very likely to be conducting a transaction-"

“Human trafficking.”

The idiot said this word lightly and looked into the distance. There, the monster's chest was filled with long spears, but it seemed that it did not care at all and continued to slaughter.

"Why are all the women in the village so beautiful? Why are so many beautiful women willing to marry into such a poor valley? Then if they change their ideas, they don't come voluntarily, but are abducted? If you think about it this way, you can adapt. Can children dedicated to Weimen, the God of Harvest, also be kidnapped?"

"In this case, everything will be explained. The village dedicates a kid to the monster every year, and the monster protects the land of the village from a bumper harvest every year. Since the contribution is not his own children, the village chief's family will place the statue of the monster for willing worship. But because the empire has carried out military blockade this year, they can no longer engage in human trafficking activities, so they are so anxious as August approaches, for fear of the scene that is happening now."

The bat stirred up the roof of a house and pressed a man in his arms and trembling head under the rubble.

"These are just evidence of the situation. The most direct evidence is the box where I installed the village chief's body. The box seemed to have been used for many years, but what made me strange is why it didn't make a square hole in it, but set up a special staircase? In fact, it's very simple, the answer is..."

"If you put the child in, the child can sit on the ladder to prevent the children from rolling around inside, right? Hahaha! You said it very well, and they all came to the point! But then again, that village chief is also an amazing actor. No, it should be said that this village itself is a collection of actors. Cross-border human trafficking is a major project after all. If the whole village did not work closely together and the whole village worked together, it would be impossible. Their joint cooperation should be trained in this way."

As we looked at, two-thirds of the houses in the village had been destroyed, and the fire began to spread in the village. From a distance, the orange light rose in the darkness, just like the human soul ascended to heaven.

"Okay! Then next, please tell me the reason for your actions like this after you learned all the intentions of the village chief! Oh, by the way, I don't want the reason for you to destroy the village. As for me, it is of course what I would like to see most. The only pity is that you did not use me to destroy the village, but to borrow the power of that little thing, which made me feel a little itchy and wanted to cut something."

The idiot paused, patted the bread, and said slowly: "My mission is not to expose the human trafficking in this village, but to kill the God of Harvest and retrieve its heart. As long as you deliberately anger it, it will definitely rush into the village and carry out a massacre, and the villagers will resist in order to survive. During this period, I can tell where the heart part of the bat is."

Nearly a hundred spears were inserted into the chest of Weimen, the God of Harvest, but he still stood there without any intention of falling down. Obviously, the villagers' wrong behaviors had told him that the bat's heart was not on his chest! And he didn't need to risk his life to confirm this matter.

"Interesting, interesting! Use all the available resources around you to prepare for intelligence wars! You are really getting more and more importantly the purpose of "Six Swords"~~~ Don't seek to be gorgeous, just simplicity. Use the method with the least damage yourself to obtain the enemy's intelligence to the maximum extent and increase your chances of victory. I suddenly feel that you, a kid, may be really difficult to die, because you will not allow yourself to enter a dangerous situation at all? Hahahaha!"

An Mie smiled, very cruelly. The idiot had already explained it. Through the "dedication" of the villagers' "blood and fire", he finally knew where the heart part of the bat was. He stood up, tied the bread back behind him, and An Mie on his right hand turned into a long sword.

"But there is one thing, if the village chief really wants to give you and this girl to that bat, why doesn't he catch you and lock you up? This is much easier than poisoning the farmlands of the whole village and making the whole village play together."

"...because, he is a very calm and smart person."
