Seeing the car go away, Jiang Ce and the others found a small restaurant to sit down and ordered a few home-cooked dishes.

After the meal comes, I will eat and talk about burning tomorrow.

But before they could order food, a waiter came over and said, "Three, can you roll up your sleeves and let me see your arms?"

What kind of strange requirement is this?

Jiang Ce and the others looked at each other and were a little confused. Although this place is a remote tribe, there is not such a strange custom, right?

Do you need to eat?

Pisces asked Jiang Yiyun: "Miss Jiang, is this also their custom?"

Jiang Yiyun was also confused and never expected such a thing to happen. She didn't know that there would be such a custom here before she came, and she didn't know how to explain it for a while.

The waiter smiled and said, "No, this is not our custom, but is preventing diseases."

Um?

Jiang Ce frowned slightly and asked, "Tell me clearly."

The waiter explained: "That's right. In the past two months, a strange disease has appeared in our area. There is nothing wrong with the onset at the beginning, but there will be round after round of black marks on the arms. As time goes by, the marks will become deeper and deeper. After a week, there will be pustules and rotting in the spots. In two weeks, it will spread throughout the body. In the end, people will die in pain."

What kind of disease is this?

Jiang Ce had never heard of it before. It felt like a kind of witchcraft, which was incredible.

The waiter said again: "We don't know how this disease is currently produced and whether it will be contagious. We temporarily call it "trick disease". However, the number of people getting sick has increased and people are panicking. So, three guests, I want to see your arms, just to know if you have this strange disease."

After hearing this, Jiang Ce and the others understood the waiter's "good intention".

Since that's the case, there is no need to make things difficult for others.

Jiang Ce took the initiative to roll up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms. His arms had various scars of all sizes, all of which were medals of fighting.

However, there are no so-called black marks.

Pisces and Jiang Yiyun's arms are also normal, and there is no sign of having strange patterns.

The waiter breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Okay, the three guests are in very good health, and there is no sign of illness at all. However, even so, you should not relax your vigilance. You should still be careful in the future and don't eat randomly. Go as few places as possible in crowded places."

Go to places with more crowds?

This is still a bit difficult.

After all, Jiang Ce and the others have decided that they will go to see the sacred fire burning tomorrow at noon.

When Jiang Yiyun ordered dishes, Jiang Ce seemed to ask casually: "Waiter, do you often hold ceremonies for burning the sacred fire?"

The waiter laughed.

He said awkwardly: "How is it possible? In fact, the burning of the holy fire has always been just a legend. Less than five people are really burned to death every year. Because this is related to human life after all, the elders in charge of the holy fire still focus on persuasion, and they will not really burn people to death with the holy fire."

After a pause, he continued, "It has been circulating outside that we say that we burn people all day long, as long as someone wants, we can be burned to death by the holy fire to burn sins. This is actually inaccurate. The elders are very kind and will not really make it fun to burn people."

Hearing this, Jiang Yiyun pouted slightly.

The situation here is somewhat different from what she introduced.

She thought anyone could be burned by the holy fire, and she could die as long as she wanted to die; in fact, otherwise, the elders would still persuade them to do so, and if they could not die, they would not die.

It seems that everything is true when you hear it, you will see it.

Jiang Ce asked: "What is the situation of tomorrow's sacred fire burning?"

Speaking of this, the waiter's face looked a little ugly and he sighed.

Jiang Ce said curiously: "Why, it seems that you feel uncomfortable. Could it be that the person who is burned by the sacred fire tomorrow has something to do with you?"

The waiter smiled, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

He sorted out his thoughts and explained: "Actually, this is the sixth holy fire burning incident this month."
