Level 6.1 'Grocery Store'
"Boss, those three are from Blue Redemption," Jerry said, pointing at the three people walking towards them.
Although the three looked different, their eyes were filled with hatred for Jerry, a look that wished they could devour him alive.
When the three stopped a few meters from Yang Tao and Jerry, Yang Tao spoke to Jerry beside him before they could say anything: "Which one of them came looking for you?"
Jerry pointed at the man in the middle and said, "Him, he's the leader!"
"Go, slap him twice!"
With his enhanced body after the modifications and Yang Tao as his backing, Jerry walked towards the three with full confidence.
"You blasphemer of Lord Jerry! Today…"
Slap…
With one slap, this member of Blue Redemption was knocked to the ground. The other two subconsciously reached for their weapons, but Jerry was faster.
He knocked both of them to the ground with a single punch each.
Yang Tao walked up and looked at the leading man, who showed no fear on his face, only a hint of madness in his eyes.
However, his bright red, swollen cheek made him look somewhat comical.
"Only Lord Jerry can redeem us…"
"I said slap him twice."
Yang Tao said coldly to the stubborn man. Jerry immediately understood and stepped forward, raising his hand and forcefully slapping the man's face.
Now both sides were symmetrical, and Yang Tao instantly found the man much more agreeable.
He took out the milk, squeezed the man's mouth open, and poured it in.
"You… what did you make me drink?"
On the man's angry face, a different emotion finally appeared this time.
Yang Tao squatted down, looked at him, and said with a smile, "How do you feel now?"
"You… You are an evil god who blasphemes the faith! I tell you, only Lord Jerry is the sole redemption. You will all ultimately face judgment."
Yang Tao was somewhat surprised by the man's reaction.
'It seems Jerry's influence isn't just mental control; there's also brainwashing…'
milk can only remove mental control, but brainwashing is purely self-deception and cannot be considered a negative status.
"Jerry? That blue parrot? I really don't understand what benefits you gain from worshipping it?"
"You speak of redemption, but what is this so-called redemption? Death? Or leaving the Backrooms?"
The man's expression clearly faltered when he heard Yang Tao's questions. His mind, freed from mental control, was able to process some of what was said, despite being brainwashed.
"Jerry is everything. Jerry is the only light of hope in this hellish place. I once believed there was no hope here, that happiness could not exist. But Jerry found and guided me. Soon, he will deliver all of us from this cursed Nether!"
Yang Tao curled his lip.
"Alright, I don't want to waste any more words with you. Take me to Jerry to meet your god. If your god is truly Omnipotent and Omniscient, then it certainly won't refuse me to seek him out."
"I imagine you wouldn't refuse me from receiving Lord Jerry's teachings, would you?"
The man's expression froze. Yang Tao's words left him unable to refuse. His gaze shifted to his two unconscious companions.
"Don't look at them. They have Lord Jerry's protection, they'll be fine."
Hearing Yang Tao's words, the man felt something was off, but his mind couldn't process it immediately.
Why could they be knocked out with one punch if they had Lord Jerry's protection?
"I will take you to see Lord Jerry. Only after seeing Lord Jerry will you truly comprehend his greatness. He is omnipotent…"
After listening to the man, Yang Tao muttered in his heart, 'What? Is your Lord Jerry also a universal charger?'
Jerry reached out and pulled the man to his feet. The man glared hatefully at Jerry.
Jerry didn't humor him, punching him directly in the stomach.
"Lead the way properly. Don't make any strange expressions. Jerry, if he doesn't obey, beat him until he does. He's not the only one from Blue Redemption…"
"Alright, Boss."
…
After some friendly communication.
The man's injuries became more severe, but his eyes became clearer.
Through the wooden door, the three stepped onto Level 2 territory.
"Take us to see your Lord Jerry!"
Just as the man was about to lead the way, he suddenly knelt on the ground, shouting, "Praise be to Lord Jerry! Lord Jerry is everything…"
"Boss…"
"I see it."
A blue parrot appeared directly in front of them. Its body was entirely blue, just as described. It stood on a pipe, tilting its head slightly, looking at him and Jerry.
To be honest, this bird was truly beautiful. Its blue feathers, illuminated by the incandescent light, looked like sapphires, reflecting a captivating blue glow.
Yang Tao took a bottle of Almond water from his backpack and threw it to Jerry, cautioning him, "Even though you have a chip in your head, for safety, it's best not to touch it."
Jerry's brainwashing ability was first-rate, otherwise he wouldn't have so many followers. At the same time, his high health of 10,000 also proved that this bird wasn't just capable of hypnotizing others.
Yang Tao also took out a bottle of Almond water and approached Lord Jerry.
Jerry can be tamed by slowly approaching him with Almond water or Sunflower seeds.
When in a tamed state, Jerry will allow the tamers to have physical contact with him and not be affected by his indoctrination abilities.
He will leave the tamers after a few days and will not attempt to indoctrinate them in future encounters.
However, as Yang Tao approached Lord Jerry, he heard Lord Jerry open his beak and say, "You wouldn't have believed the M.E.G. files, would you?"
"Do you think this Almond water can really tame me?"
Lord Jerry's voice was peculiar; it was impossible to tell whether it was male or female at first, but then again, it was a parrot speaking, so that was understandable.
"It can't?"
Yang Tao scratched his head, while the Almond water in his hand had already been replaced by a Supernova shotgun, and he continued to walk towards Lord Jerry.
"Lord Jerry, I heard your people have been looking for my people?"
"What? Lord Jerry, are you trying to fight me?"
Lord Jerry still tilted his head, blinked, and said, "I don't know why they would look for others because of a name."
"However, I don't think they did anything wrong. An ordinary human is simply not qualified to be compared with beings like you and me."
Yang Tao stopped about three or four meters from Lord Jerry: "Your actions are truly too domineering…"
While speaking to attract Jerry's attention, a naming plate appeared in Yang Tao's hand. He aimed it at Jerry and silently willed it to be used.
'Blue-Feathered Skinny Chicken'
Four bright white characters appeared above Jerry's head.
After all this, Lord Jerry only saw the naming plate in Yang Tao's hand suddenly disappear and didn't notice anything else amiss.
"You are very peculiar. I think…"
Yang Tao said with an irrepressible smile, "You can think later. First, look up."
