Chapter 1508: Chapter 491: What Now? Only the King of the Great West

Near the plantation, a number of young lamas could still be seen watering and caring for these herbal medicines. They worked diligently, heads down, carrying water, fertilizing, deworming, and weeding, creating a harmonious scene in the fields.

If one did not look at the three Dorgas under the stone tablet, outsiders might indeed think this place was some kind of paradise.

Brother Ni and the others dared not linger here for long, fearing that staying too long would lead to a repeat of the King of the Great West’s old deeds, which would not just be a matter of a few dozen kilograms of fresh blood.

However, they were sure of one thing, and that is that in the real world, out of every ten people in the 21st century who still believe in Esoteric Buddhism, ten of them are Junfu.

They wished they could capture those bozos who brag online about going to the plateau to cleanse their souls and make them hold these Dorgas and sing songs of praise to the emperor for ten minutes.

Let them see what it means to cleanse your soul, after all, this heart has been skillfully dissected alive by a master of Esoteric Buddhism, and it has been through countless rounds of drug soaking and washing, definitely authentic.

Therefore, to see less of this sanity-reducing stuff, they quickly stepped up their pace to bypass this damned Horton Manor and headed south.

However, a large mountain stood in the middle of the entire small island, and to get to the south, they had to cross this mountain, and entering the mountain required identification.

This mountain was not marked on the map because it was an artificially constructed giant mountain piled up by later construction teams, obviously costly, and only those old money families with people, money, and resources in their hands could afford to create such a spectacle.

Just as Brother Ni and the others were about to enter the mountain, uncertain of what the mountain was for, Li De had already infiltrated deep into Horton Manor and found a link entry to connect to the local servers.

"Bohemian Grove..."

Brother Ni and the others synchronized the intelligence to the channel, and Li De naturally knew too, helping the Jackal hidden outside to access the system while communicating with the players.

The Jackal, sensing a strange tone in Li De’s voice, curiously asked,

"Do you know something?"

"..."

Originally, Li De intended to say that this matter was top secret and could not be disclosed to someone like Jackal, who was external personnel.

But he himself also seemed to be external personnel, and since the point was to get to the bottom of the matter, there was no need to avoid anything.

So, Li De directly said in the channel,

"Bohemian Grove originally refers to an area name in a suburban forest in California, but it is not just a place name because it also to some extent represents another organization—the Bohemian Club."

Kles: "So what’s the connection between Bohemian Grove Club and Bohemia?"

"There’s no connection at all."

Li De said,

"Essentially, it’s like place names such as Oxford in Georgia. The United States is essentially just the immigrants from Europe, especially from the United Kingdom, who, after arriving in the New World, named many places using the original names from Europe as replacements."

"And the Bohemian Club is a high-end club that has existed since the late nineteenth century, as long as you can afford the ten thousand US Dollar entrance fee, you can enter, so the people inside are either rich or noble."

Ten thousand US Dollars at the end of the nineteenth century was not a small sum, estimated to be multiplied by a thousand today.

"Until the Great Depression, for some unknown reasons, the club stopped opening to the public. At the same time, they established a rule prohibiting any members from disclosing any information about the club, even having the CEOs of several media giants personally banning reporters from reporting related information."

Li De paused for a moment before continuing,

"As far as I know, you can find almost all the US government officials with names and surnames, financial magnates, and wealthy people in history books inside."

Such as the directors of NASA, FBI, CIA, former US presidents, bipartisan congressmen, and almost all the boards of directors of major multinational giants are members of it.

"They gather in Bohemian Grove every year, despite the numerous factions among them, even in the grove they hold together in groups, but only in terms of the ritual do they set aside their prejudices..."

"I originally thought the club disappeared after the United States split, but I didn’t expect to see traces of them here again."

"Ah! I knew it, this should have been the time to call the Exchange Coupon."

Ruzuo suddenly slapped his thigh,

"Isn’t this Batman vs. the Court of Owls, those damn American comic editors just love to play with these secretive hints, I thought it was some hidden government conspiracy, but the answer was right on the surface."

"Not only that..."

Kles recalling the films he had seen,

"Now that you mention it, I remember similar scenes in the fifth season of House of Cards, with similar owl statues and burning effigies as ritual offerings..."

The players openly discussed in front of Li De, the NPC, without worrying about anything.

Luckily, the system’s translation was reliable enough; when the words reached Li De’s ears, they transformed into something akin to a Watergate-style political scandal, rational and logical, with no sign of unusualness.

"Uh..."

The Jackal, who had already hacked into the Horton Manor system, cautiously searched the peripheral data, afraid of being detected by firewalls and defending hackers, so she dared not take any big actions.

But even just combing through peripheral data, under the keywords provided by Li De, she also found something.

"Guys... I think you should take a look at this meow, it seems to be related to what you are discussing."
