Su Hao quickly realized the power of public opinion.

The roads on the border of the empire have always been difficult to walk. Even the noble group spent huge amounts of money to build, it only connected the part between Oviado and the empire's domestic territory. As for Konoha Town... the material transportation there basically relies on military heavy airships and rarely uses vehicles.

A magnetic energy levitation vehicle with automatic snow removal device is driving on the road leading to Oviado City. This light civilian vehicle is mostly used in the wild, and the vehicle itself is not equipped with weapons. Through the window glass, you can see several men and women wearing thick down jackets sitting in the car.

The car soon entered the Oviado range. Although it had not yet entered the main urban area, even on the periphery, you could still see large areas of collapsed city walls, falling houses, and various destroyed buildings. Every time the hover car drove through a block, it would cause bursts of exclamations among the passengers in the car, and then pressed the professional camera shutter to shoot sounds.

In Oviado City Square, next to the open space where the Dark Earl Watson performed the prayer ceremony, the hover car stopped steadily. Pushing open the car door, the passengers jumped down in sequence.

These people's down jackets have good warmth and waterproof effects. They carry large backpacks and have various types of professional photography equipment hanging around their necks. The man in the head is about forty years and has dense wrinkles on his face. The woman walking in the middle is much younger, with a pretty face, and has a look that seems to be curious about anything. At the end of the team, a man, thirty or thirty-five, with a pointed black velvet hat. Most of his attention is focused on the woman in front, with a smile on his face, and the deliberately artificial ingredients completely cover up the real appearance he wants to show.

There were several other people coming out of the car. They were wearing black uniforms of very good texture, and they were obviously affiliated with a big man or a rich rich man. The man in black was both a driver and a security officer. They scattered around with a hover car as the core. Three men and women were surrounded, and from a distance, they looked like a closely protected exploration team.

The relationship between the man in black and the three men and women wearing down jackets is very special. On the surface, the former is obviously the bodyguard of the latter, and he also serves in a series of positions such as drivers and servants. However, the three men and women, regardless of their dress or appearance, did not look like rich nobles or big men. They were afraid of these men in black. Although the man in black followed the orders of the three men and women, he had no respect on his face.

Obey, just obey.

The dark prayer ceremony scene has been preserved. Strictly speaking, the Emperor's attitude towards such matters has always been directly destroyed after the battle. However, Ovilia is obviously an exception.

According to normal procedures, the destroyed human settlements must be destroyed by local garrisons after collecting all biological samples and destroying them after the investigation is completed. This is a very simple but labor-intensive task. The army must send a large number of soldiers equipped with high-energy flame guns, and even some infantry fighting vehicles specially modified and loaded with large flame spouts. The entire destruction is orderly, starting from the periphery of the settlement, with personnel and vehicles cooperating with each other to burn everything in the settlement little by little. The dead bodies, houses, various debris... All things, as long as you can name the objects, all disappear in the fire and turn into ashes flying in the dark sky.

Nearly two months have passed since the Earl of Darkness Wiesen launched an attack on Olivia. During this period, the Oviado ruins have "received" about a dozen visitors. The Imperial Civil Affairs Office, the Imperial Police Agency, the Imperial Crime Investigation Department, the Imperial Headquarters... From the first batch of secret service personnel to investigate the incident, to the second batch of people affiliated with the Imperial Police Agency, the arrival of the second batch of people affiliated with the Imperial Police Agency, the interval is more than a month. I don't know where the Oviado ruins have attracted people. The number and batches of visitors have increased sharply in the recent month. Especially this week, although today is Thursday, this is the ninth batch of visitors, with a total of more than 571 people.

When entering Oviado city, the three men and women were shocked by all the landscapes they saw along the ruins. The huge explosion destroyed the city wall. Seeing that the huge huge, almost dyed everything around the blasting point black, leaving only the pulverized stone shavings, they all exclaimed at the same time.

People living in the empire would never dream of such a cruel and shocking tragedy happening on the distant empire border.

Snowflakes were still falling. While thick snow was piled up on the ground, the wreckage of human bodies inserted on wooden poles was also blocked by white snowflakes. No one could see the original appearance of these dead people. Everything in Oviado was completely frozen and then pressed down by a layer of snow like a blanket. The three men and women, with curiosity and shock, put down their backpacks on an open space temporarily cleaned by the man in black, took out the lighter photography equipment, and walked step by step into the human flesh forest that was enjoyed by the demons, which was used as prayer by the dark Earl Watson.

Yes, this is indeed a forest. An extremely bloody and terrifying forest.

The boots step on the snowy surface and immediately sink into a deep pit. While the soles of the boots make a "creaking" sound, you can feel the hard touch from the ground through the soles of the boots.

The young woman in a yellow down jacket guessed an object of strange shape. She frowned, bent down, and gently stroked the snow covering the surface of the strange object through her gloves. From the surface, this was a gray-black thing with a curved surface and twisted around, like a mess of thick hemp ropes entangled with each other. The reason why it became hard was caused by the low temperature of more than minus twenty degrees below the scale. It should have contained a lot of moisture. In such a season, the frozen and hardened ice cubes are equivalent to the hard granite.

The woman had never seen such a thing before, and couldn't help but ask, "What is this, what is this?"

The middle-aged man in the team leader also found an object from the snow pile. He raised his foot, swept away the snow vigorously, bent down and picked up a human arm bone that was chewed from the middle, threw the meaningless wreck aside at random, then turned around and said to the woman who was squatting on the ground, "Avril, if I were you, I would be a little further away from the pile of things under your feet."

Avril, the woman, looked at the middle-aged man and said unhappily: "Locks, this thing may be a very good news clue. Lend me your holographic camera and I have to take it down."

"No, Locks is right."

Carrying a camera tripod, the thin and tall young man walked to Avril with a hesitation look. After thinking about it, he said in the relaxed tone as possible: "Avril, you'd better leave from that pile of things quickly. Believe me. Although it is indeed a good news clue as you said. But for this, this destroyed city is just the tip of the iceberg. Moreover, it will not make you feel any pleasure."

Avril frowned, and felt a little fear in his heart, but his interest also became deeper and deeper. She took off her gloves and gently touched the surface of the cold and hard object with her fingers, showing a very confident smile on her face.

"I have been a photographer at the Post for a short time. Weiguang, I know you have good intentions. But there are not many things in this world that can scare me. I have seen dark creatures. When I interviewed General Rastair at the headquarters of the National Defense Forces, he once showed me the evil species that were captured. I don't think there is anything scary about it. They are our enemies, and they caused the tragedy of Oviado. Really, there is nothing scary about it."

"What a good girl with courage and courage."

The middle-aged man Locks strode forward and said in a rather playful tone: "You are now stepping on a bunch of dark creatures' food. It's very soft and slippery, and that's what it is. We all like the luxury filet mignon in the restaurant, and dark creatures also like human ribs and tenderloin. Avril, do you like the top beef liver cooked with Farley Rose Sauce? I always think that kind of thing tastes good. Well! There are also pork intestines fried in oil, which tastes very special. When this interview is over, I can invite you to that restaurant for a good meal. I promise you will like them."

"Rox, can you say a few less words?"

The tall and thin young man showed a faint anger on his face: "Your bad jokes are not funny. For the sake of the emperor, it is best to control your mouth and stop talking about it."

Avril was aroused by Locks's words. She didn't care about the young man's dissuasion and looked directly at Locks with a sarcastic look: "Tell me, what is this?"

The young man kept shaking his head: "Believe me, Avril, Locks's answer won't make you happy, it will only make you sick."

"I just like guys who break the casserole and ask the end of the game like you."

Locks laughed indifferently: "That's the intestines of humans. Of course, there are not so many intestines of a person. This should be part of a prayer ceremony of some kind of dark creatures. They dig out the internal organs from the victims, the heart belongs to the heart, the liver is placed in a pile, and then the intestines and stomach. These guys are all natural surgeons who have done very smoothly to remove organs from the human body. No wonder they have done this for tens of thousands of years. Just like we grow crops from the ground, we are very familiar with the nutritional ingredients and tastes of various vegetables, and even specialize in nutrition. The dark world also has a nutritional discipline similar to ours. It is a special knowledge classification project based on the human body, compared with the nutrition extension and change of dark creatures. Especially those dark nobles, they believe that human fresh livers are soft, crisp and tender, and are the food that is most suitable for the juvenile bodies of dark creatures."

An extremely bad feeling suddenly spread from Avril's mind.

She knew that Locks was an experienced journalist and would not deliberately lie and deceive herself on this issue. However, looking at the pile of frozen black intestinal tubes under her feet, even though Avril had experienced a lot and also seen a lot, she still felt an indescribable nausea, and her body began to tremble unconsciously.

The young man named Huang Weiguang could no longer hold back when he saw Avril's instant white face, and shouted at the smug Locks: "This is not interesting news. Stop your mouth and stop talking."

Locks obviously didn't want to stop like this. He glanced at Avril, who was covering his mouth with his left hand, and continued maliciously: "The nutritional department of the dark world is an extremely profound science. You should spend more time studying them. Really, especially as a woman, you should have some knowledge in this regard. In many ways, dark creatures and we have commonalities. For example, for feeding infants and young children, we use specially processed dairy products. They are cultivated on slave farms to capture human women. They..."

The anger on Huang Weiguang's face had become uncontrollable. He rushed over and stood in front of Rocks and roared repeatedly: "What do you mean? Stop talking about it."

"Haha! I know you have such a little bit of meaning to this little girl."

Locks laughed indifferently: "I am helping you create opportunities. The more uncomfortable she feels, the more you can be with her side. Aren't you? You should thank me instead of staring at me with such fierce eyes."

These words were like a hormone, stimulating Huang Weiguang's anger to ferment. Just as he was about to swing his fist and teach Rocks a lesson, Avril, who bent down and squatted on the ground and kept retching, had already stood up. She took a few deep breaths, raised her hand, stopped Huang Weiguang who wanted to swing her fist, and said in a heavy breathing voice: "Don't, don't do this. Rocks... continue to say it, I want to hear it."

As soon as he said that, Huang Weiguang stopped the movements in his hand, and the indifferent Locks became a little surprised. Neither of the two men expected that things would become like this, nor did they ever think that Avril would say such words.

The three people belong to three different media.

Locks is an external editor of Imperial United TV, and Huang Weiguang is a reporter sent by the Liberty Daily. As for Avril, she comes from the Daily Mail.

Although they are not colleagues, they are all colleagues. Oviado's tragedy has attracted many people's attention. When they set out, they have received repeated reminders from senior executives of their respective media groups, requiring them to unearth important news with their own media characteristics. For this purpose, it becomes normal for each other to suppress and slander each other.

However, just the day before departure, Locks and the other three were called together. At the headquarters of the Imperial United TV station, they met a man in black with a mysterious identity. The other party obviously had the power that even major media feared. The man in black proposed that all interviewers must cooperate with each other and deeply explore all the news clues about the Oviado tragedy.

This request was approved by the senior media executives of the three journalists, and they repeatedly stated that there would never be any situation of competing for clues between each other. However, mutual guards between journalists have become a natural instinct. Locks did not know whether Huang Weiguang and Avril had such a warning about him? But he was always on guard against these two guys, and he was indeed deliberately trying to use all the secrets he knew about the dark world to verbally repel Avril.

Now it seems that this woman is obviously not as weak as she imagined, and her psychological tolerance is still pretty sloppy.

“The dark world has a farm that specializes in human cultivation, just like we raise cows and pigs and sheep.”

Locks looked at Avril calmly, his tone was no longer as sarcastic as before, and became normal and peaceful: "They paired and married the men and women on the farm, whether you want or not, the purpose was to make female slaves pregnant. You know, the physical condition of women during pregnancy will be very different from usual. Dark creatures have a good set of food in the breeding industry. They provide these women with enough food. Babies born in full term will become the most expensive delicacy on the table of the dark nobles. There is also the umbilical cord blood from pregnant women, which uses special craftsmanship to make drinks. These methods are actually equivalent to the roasted suckling pig and steak loin we like to eat.

The pregnant women who are later will be stocked like dark creatures as cows. I have seen some photos and videos sent by our lurkers at the Imperial Headquarters. Those pregnant women are raised very fat and have to squeeze out enough milk every year. Don’t think that dark creatures will use these materials to make cheese. They just like to mix milk into the blood and mix it, which is a drink that dark creatures like the most. Well…just like the soda we use to cool down. Of course, there is a more particular approach, that is, fermenting human lotions in special methods to make things equivalent to our beer. These industries are often monopolized by high-ranking nobles in the dark world, and their income is also considerable."

Speaking of this, Locks walked to Avril, raised his foot, and kicked the frozen pile of human intestines on the ground: "Don't care about these things. Although they look disgusting, everyone will do this after they die. This kind of thing seems to us is a sin, but it is just a biological instinct for dark creatures. We eat cattle and sheep, and they eat us. Think about your favorite braised sausages, steaks, and roasted pork leg meat on the table. In fact, it will feel that it is no big deal. Change your mindset. You will encounter more of this kind of thing in the future." Make things like our beer and other things. In the dark world, these industries are often monopolized by high-ranking nobles and have a very considerable income."
