Hvisland: A VR Colony Sim Game

"Come on, if it wasn't for such a ritual, I wouldn't have met H, right?" I was getting frustrated that Brown had been crouching in silence for a long time.

"You could have known about H because he was just picking up Naomi. Or someone from yours used to do the ritual." Brown got up and faced me again. "So, your words just now don't guarantee that Ivan really did the ritual."

I sighed, massaging his forehead. "Why would I kill your people if that would infuriate your tribe? We are still so small."

"I have enough with your bullshit." Brown's voice began to tremble. "Time for my people to destroy you...."

"So, I'll trap you here." I cut him off. "Time will go by so slowly for you. One second will feel like years to you. You can't take care of your people."

I had to get the crap out of it. This is the last resort, although it will undoubtedly create an enormous tension with Acornhull.

Brown was silent in front of my face, but I could see his body starting to shake. If he had a face, perhaps his gaze would be fixed on me, and blood vessels were already protruding in some parts of his face.

"You don't know who you're dealing with." Despite saying that, I kept my voice normal. This will intimidate him more than I say out loud. "I'm willing to give you an advantage by giving you opium and spice. Do you know why I did that? Because I'm not an asshole. I want to have a good relationship with others...."

"Huh, what a great talk for the one who ruined the Redtooth tribe." Brown's tone rose even more.

"If I wanted to, I could threaten the guardian spirit of Redtooth. But, why do you think I didn't? Why would I be willing to do such a long deed?" I was getting tenser but still trying to keep my voice down. "Hell, I didn't know those stump scorpions were that dangerous. At that time, I hadn't been born in the world long. I wouldn't have allowed that expedition to the salt cave if I had known. My house is very close to that cursed place. The risk is very high for my people."

Brown took a few steps back.

"I have no intention of damaging Redtooth." This time, I put more emphasis on my voice. "Honestly, I regret it. I'd rather threaten Redtooth's spirit guardian than allow that deadly expedition."

The guardian spirit of the Acornhull chuckled. "You're good at talking, aren't you?"

"Go ahead if you want to try to attack me with your men." I pointed at the figure. "I don't want your tribe to crumble without your leadership, but I have no other choice...." And that's when I remembered something that could be my trump card. "You remember Congraylham, right? Those tribes with firearms? They've been to your tribe before, right? Your merchants have even been there and only found my people! You know what I did to the residents of Congraylham and their guardian spirits?"

I stayed silent and waited, wanting to make Brown even more curious.

"You destroyed them?" Finally, the figure asked. His voice was not as high as before.

"They raided my house and took my men's winter supplies." I tried to keep those horrible memories from interfering with how I spoke. "They have deadly weapons. My people only have arrows and other primitive weapons. Logically, we can't beat them, can we? But in reality, they are gone. You can check there. You can find there are many graves near their house."

Brown rubbed his face. "So, you trapped their guardian spirit? After that, they got disorganized, and your people defeated them?"

"Honestly, I was sad to see them die. They weren't evil and just wanted to survive. However, I had no other choice."

Now I just hope my bullshit hits him.

"One more question." Brown sighed. "Ivan is already a temporary member of your tribe. Why don't you prevent him from performing the ritual?"

"You know him better. That man is very difficult to command, right?"

"So is his family." Brown then whispered to the four members of his tribe in turn. "I've asked them not to attack, but I can't guarantee it."

Taking a deep breath, I pressed the play button. The four Ivan families looked confused, then Anca gave a hand signal to Leva.

"You, stand up." Ivan's mother spoke firmly.

Leva wasn't fully up yet when Anca punched her in the face, making her stagger. Then, it continued with Runa jumping up and kicking Leva's chest. The red-haired girl immediately rolled backward.

My other colonists simultaneously raised their weapons, as per my orders if something like this happened. However, Runa swiftly moved from place to place, twisting Kat's hand, which was holding the gun. The gun fell, and Runa kicked it far away. After that, she dashed to duck into Gwen, who had just fired a rifle.

The bullet missed. Runa hit Gwen's hand hard. The grip on the rifle loosened, Runa easily grabbed the weapon, throwing it far away.

An even more extraordinary feat was demonstrated by Anca, who avoided Manu's ax attacks and Eric's katana slashes. Ivan's mother crouched down and swept the man's legs until they fell.

"Do not move." Suddenly Anca put two knives on Manu and Eric's necks. "And you, stop crawling! Or these two of my friends will die!"

Kat, who was about to reach for her gun on the ground, was forced to freeze.

Leva got up with difficulty holding her chest. Her left cheek was bleeding, and she was having trouble breathing.

Just standing up straight, Leva came face to face with the eldest child, Miro. My female colonist couldn't do anything about it when the man punched her in the stomach.

"Akkhhh!!!" Leva crouched on the ground, curled up, and clutched her stomach. Shortly after, she vomited hard.

I couldn't do anything and just squeezed my head. Everything happened so fast that my eyes couldn't follow.

Heath stomped on Leva's head until it sank into a puddle of vomit.

"We're good people, really," Heath said while blinking his already watery eyes. "But, we don't like to be disturbed.. And what all of you are doing is worse than disturbing us."
