Chapter 165: The Mind of Existence
。 As soon as he thought about it, Rhodes felt a little tricky. If that devil really had anything to do with Christie, then it was absolutely impossible to let this girl go. In this way, there may be all kinds of incidents in the future, in fact, until now, he doesn't know why this devil wants to capture Christy alive, and the sacrifices are all over the street, just catch someone at will. And if you capture him alive, you think that you will send this person to hell alive...... The dragon soul is above, and the environment of hell can't even stand a sturdy ordinary person, and a girl like Christy who is weak and may even suffer a little cold may be in danger of her life, and the moment she enters hell, she will die of poisoning from the miasma she smells there.
Or is there any secret she has that she doesn't know?
"Yes."
Many thoughts passed through Rod's mind for a moment, but the old man didn't know what to say, he just nodded, and then replied. He has also let go now, it seems that Rod has fully understood his plan, so it has no effect to conceal it, the so-called frank leniency, if he cooperates well, maybe the other party can give himself a happy one by one, anyway, when it comes to hell, the master will not know what he has done.
"It was the master who told me to raise this girl."
With this, the old man raised his head and looked at the girl who was hiding behind Anne.
"Frankly, after the tragedy that happened to that family, I felt that this girl had a good chance of becoming the best sacrifice of her master, she had filthy blood, and she had the power of darkness. It would be the object of interest to the master, and in fact I guessed it right, the master, after listening to my report, was very interested in her, and ordered me to raise the girl and send her to hell. I took over this task from the master, and I have been trying hard to complete it, but unfortunately in the end, I only missed one step of deletion
"But why do you want to do this to her?"
At this moment, the others also came over, and after the undead left, the mercenaries also breathed a sigh of relief, and they divided some of them to continue to guard the surroundings, while the rest of the people walked towards the old man curiously. Frankly speaking, when they found out that the old village chief was actually behind the scenes, these mercenaries were not as surprised as Rhodes and the others, in their opinion, then it is not surprising that all the people in this village are evildoers.
After hearing the old man's answer, Marlene quickly frowned and asked.
"Since your master wants you to raise her, but her body is so weak now, and you don't treat her well, if there is something in case, aren't you worried?"
"Hey, hey, hey............"
But upon hearing Marlene's inquiry, the old man smiled wickedly, glanced at the blonde girl, and then withdrew his gaze.
"Sure enough, the wisdom of mortals, stupid and short-sighted...... How can you possibly understand our faith? Our thoughts? Yes, according to your understanding, accept the master's orders, then I should do my best to raise this girl and let her live a comfortable life, but that is only the self-righteous delusion of you fools living in the sun. I don't want to fill her with hope, for for a soul that despairs, hates, fears and sorrows of this world is the best delicacy for her master. So I deliberately put her through the beatings, insults, and humiliation of those foolish idiots.
It is to make her despair of this world make her hate all this, no longer nostalgic for this world, hate the sun and warmth, and at that time, she will devote herself to the darkness and become the master...... Hey, hey, hey............ Oh, by the way, one more thing I want to make clear, and that is that I didn't mean to damage her body, but this child has been like this since birth, and her body is not very good. Frankly, there were a few times when I was worried that she would die. But to my surprise, she survived and survived until now......... That's a miracle, isn't it? ”…,
Saying this, the old man stopped, but the people around him couldn't help but feel sick to their stomachs because of these words, they looked at the old man in front of them, and they all had the idea of wanting to clean him up happily. Anne blushed her face and moved her fingers, looking at the old man menacingly. It seems that she has no intention of upholding the virtue of respecting the old and loving the young. And Marlene also clenched her staff, snorted coldly, and raised her head, as if she didn't want to look at the old man any more. Lijie held Christy's petite body tightly in her arms, as if this was the only way to protect her from any harm.
"You're the one who is stupid, wicked depraved."
And just then, Celia spoke.
"This girl's veins are slumbered with the power of darkness, but her soul has not been defiled by it, your evil and disgusting purpose has not been achieved, she will not sink because of this evil, and you and your master will be punished divinely! You deserve nothing but to be in the abyss of eternity, to be tortured in agony!! ”
"Alright, Celia, you stop for a moment."
Rod interrupted the angel girl's righteous indignant speech, and then he took a half step forward, looked at the old man carefully for a moment, and then nodded.
"Looks like you're a good fit...... Well, then the next question is the last one. Regarding Christy's mother, does she look much like Christy? Also, the part about the devil... Do you have nothing to add? ”
"Nope."
This time, the old man shook his head.
"Although she is also a beautiful girl, she is completely different from Christie. As for the devil's part, I don't have much to say. At the time, I didn't know what had happened to the girl. So I've never seen that so-called devil exist, and frankly, boy, I was a little surprised when I first saw you......... Who are you? Why would he look exactly like that child? ”
"It's not something you need to know."
It is clear that Rhodes did not intend to have a fair exchange of information. But at this moment, suddenly a timid voice sounded.
“…… Can I ask you a question? ”
The crowd followed the voice, and saw Christy standing beside Anne, one hand clasped to her chest, looking at the bound old man uneasily and complicatedly. Hearing her voice, a strange look flashed in the old man's eyes, and then he sneered.
"What's the problem?"
"I ...... I want to know ........."
The girl held her hands, her body trembling slowly, but Christi's eyes revealed an unusual firmness. Seeing the girl's expression, Rod frowned, and he opened his mouth to say something. But in the end, he shook his head as if he gave up, and then closed his mouth.
"The reason why you are willing to adopt me is really only because of ............"
"That's right, it's just because of the master's orders."
The old man coldly interrupted Christy's speech.
"If it weren't for the master's orders, do you think I'd take a little imp like you with me? Hmph, your cursed bloodline is destined that you will never have a bright and beautiful future, and obediently accepting the call of your master is the most important thing you should do. It's the same now, don't forget, you are the product of hatred, you are the child of death born with blood, and you will not bring a good hope and future to anyone! Your life will always be accompanied by despair and pain! You ........."
"Enough!"
Hearing this, Shanna interrupted the old man's curse in dissatisfaction, she looked at the old man in disgust, and drew her long sword.
"Master, we don't need to listen to an evil devil believer talking nonsense here, let's cut him down now!" …,
Hearing Shanna's complaint, Rod nodded.
"Now that you've answered my question completely, that's it............ Next ............"
With that, Rhodes looked at Celia.
"Celia, over to you, you should know very well how we treat devil believers."
"Of course, master."
Hearing Rod's words, the angel girl walked up to the old man, and then she raised her long sword, and the wings behind her immediately spread. Soon, a soft light fell from the sky, followed the tip of the angel girl's sword, and fell on the old man's body.
"Wait, you can't do that!!"
Sensing Celia's attempt, the old man's face began to distort, and he struggled to raise his head and look at Rhodes, who had retreated to the side.
"We've said it's okay, you can't break your promise!"
"I was amazed."
In the face of the old man's angry accusations, Rhodes shrugged his shoulders expressionlessly.
"I don't remember when we made a promise to each other, I'm just reminding you not to forget that I have the means to deal with you, but I never said I wouldn't use it against you. It's you yourself who will be wrong there, please don't trouble me. ”
"You, you ........."
The old man did not finish his words, because at this moment the nether tentacles had blocked his mouth under Rod's will, so that the old man could only let out a "whine", muffled protest sound. And at that moment, Celia began to chant, and her crisp, beautiful singing voice echoed in the night. The beam of light that fell from the sky also became brighter and brighter under the singing, completely enveloping the old man's body.
Rod admired the scene before him, and then he heard a small voice beside him.
"Don't say anything, thank you...... Raise me. ”
Rod lowered his head, and what he saw was Christi's clear and transparent eyes, which were full of moisture and a trace of complicated nostalgia.
Without saying anything, he reached out and gently stroked the girl's hair. Christie, on the other hand, followed Rod's movements and leaned into his arms. She turned her head away and buried her head in front of Rod, as if she didn't want to look any further.
The singing became louder and brighter, and the light became more and more dazzling, and then at that moment, almost everyone couldn't help but close their eyes.
And when they opened their eyes again, there was nothing in front of them. (To be continued)
