Chapter 2675: Blue devil

"Shall we go to Abyei Town?" Crazy Horse frowned, "Why?"
"Try to get some news." Lin Rui looked at the map and said, "This place is full of tribal armed forces. The locals know better than us what armed forces are around here. We have to figure out who the armed forces behind this are. . Otherwise, we will be threatened every time we go out to purchase supplies."
"But will the people in Abyei Town tell us the truth? What if they did it?" Crazy Horse was worried.

It’s probably not the people there who attacked our convoy. When we were there last time, the cardan told us that because the two sides were fighting, people from their tribe were not here. But we and the Dinka and Nu The Er tribes have already talked about it, and they cannot attack us. So I think there should be someone else." Lin Rui whispered, "Abyei Town is crowded with people. many."
Crazy Horse nodded, "Well, since you said that, let's go and take a look. Anyway, if this matter is not resolved, the supply will be interrupted, and we will not have a good life in the future."
Lin Rui turned and shouted, "All get in the car. Russian, you and Sausage drive the two cars over there. Let's go to Abyei Town."
In Abyei Town, Lin Rui and others once again found the militant Kadan who had met with them last time. Cardan greeted them enthusiastically, but when Lin Rui asked who might attack them, Cardan hesitated.
"Why, don't you think anyone will attack us?" Lin Rui asked.
Cardan shook his head, "It's not unexpected, but there are too many people who can think of it. You know that this place is not peaceful. Years of wars have caused food shortages. Many tribes are basically relying on food aid to survive. A car full of food. Trucks are easily attacked. But robbery is not uncommon, but no one will kill or burn a car."
"Are you sure?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Of course, no tribe would kill people at will, that would cause trouble." Cardan gestured.
"So. Have you seen this?" Lin Rui took out a string of broken necklaces from his pocket, on which were decorated with wooden beads and bone pieces of various colors.
"This is a very common necklace. We and some other tribes can make it. But few people hang bullets on it. Is this a bullet?" Cardan looked at the pendant above, somewhat strangely and authentic.
Lin Rui nodded, "Yes, this bullet is also very special. It is the same seed bullet used by the person who killed us."
"It looks like the bullet is smaller." Cardan frowned.
"Yes, because this is different from your usual 7.62 bullet, which is a 5.56 caliber bullet." Crazy Horse replied, "It should be an American or other NATO weapon. Do you know which armed faction is using this caliber nearby? Weapons?"
Cardan scratched his head when he heard it, "That kind of weapon should only be available in the blue helmets of the peacekeeping forces, but they obviously cannot attack you. Due to the peacekeeping regulations, they don't even have the right to fire first. And they have always been. Protect civilians, let alone those who attacked oil companies."
Crazy Horse turned to look at Lin Rui, and shook his head at him. It seemed that Kadan had no further news.
But Lin Rui did not give up. He remembered that there were some children's footprints and motorcycle wheel prints on the scene, and he continued to ask Cardan, "Are there any armed factions using motorcycles nearby? If not, there are such scavengers in the town. Children? We found the footprints of some children there."
His casual sentence shocked Cardan. "Children's footprints?"
"Yes, what's the matter?" Lin Rui frowned.
Cardan was so frightened that he threw half of the necklace in his hand to the ground, "It's the devil."
"The devil?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes, the devil, the blue devil." Cardan tried to control himself, "it must be the blue devil. They wandered through the desert, took our children, and left blood and corpses."
"What blue devil? What the is it?" Lin Rui grabbed Kadan's shoulder and asked.
Cardan calmed down before telling the whole story. There are a group of young armed forces in this area, mostly black children without adulthood. These people have only appeared for nearly two years, and no one has ever known where they came from before. But they are more cruel and vicious than ordinary armed bandits, and even many tribal armed forces have been beaten by them. In recent months, many villages have been looted.
"They look like ordinary children, and they have not yet received the coming-of-age ceremony, but they are not ordinary children. I heard wizards say that they are children possessed by the blue devil. They have weapons and can even beat them with bare hands. Adults. And more ruthless and cruel than ordinary people." Cardan said seriously.
"Morning ceremony?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes. For the sake of beauty, we Dinka will draw some patterns on ourselves or stab some patterns that only they understand. And the harvest season is the time when the youngsters hold the coming-of-age ceremony. Every boy will have it on his forehead. He was engraved with six horizontal lines, announcing that he was eligible for marriage. The boy who was about to receive the coming-of-age ceremony was taken to a residence to receive the blessing of the elderly.
Then the ritualist took them to a nearby sorghum field. Each boy dug a small pit in the ground in front of him to collect blood, and their parents watched indifferently. The ritualist used a knife to draw a horizontal line on the boy's forehead. If the line is not straight due to a pain or a movement, the boy will suffer lifelong contempt. "Kadan pointed to the scar on his forehead.
Lin Rui looked at Crazy Horse and didn't know what to say.
Cardan continued, "Those children are still very young, and they don't even have such scars. But they can defeat a man who is bigger and stronger than them. The wizard thinks this must be the result of the blue devil possessing. Wizards Said that they cannot be killed. To kill them, you must use a rooster, with its blood combined with the burned cow dung ashes, and smear it on your forehead and lips. Only in this way will you have the ability to fight the devil ."
Lin Rui waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I understand. You mean it is a group of children, but they are armed and can fight?"
"No, no, they are not just children, they are children possessed by the blue devil. If you want to find them, you need a powerful witch doctor, or someone who knows spells." Cardan shook his head repeatedly, then whispered. Muttering, as if praying.
Lin Rui didn't have time to talk to him, and turned to Crazy Horse, "What do you think?"
"The devil must be talking nonsense, but maybe it was a child soldier of a certain tribe who attacked the vehicle? Or we go back and ask the actuary what he thinks about this matter." Crazy Horse whispered.
