Chapter 1725 Bitter Fruit (XIV)

As the saying goes, it's a blessing to be ignorant.

Hilaria's thirst for knowledge obviously brought her considerable psychological pressure.

So much so that when the doll was handed to him, he seemed to have no strength to take it.

Fu Qian did not force it, but put the things back to their original places with great understanding.

It was weird enough that a stranger came with a doll that looked exactly like him, but it turned out that his purpose was to make a new one using his own flesh.

Even for people of faith, it is difficult for their minds to remain unaffected.

"So... you're here to kill me?"

Her eyes unconsciously followed the puppet to the side, and after a moment of silence, Hilaria came back to her senses and looked at Fu Qian and asked slowly.

Perhaps the power of faith finally took effect. After the initial impact, she neither ran away nor took the initiative to attack.

“It depends.”

Fu Qian did not offer any meaningless comfort, but thought about it seriously.

"Since there are four more tools like this, theoretically, I can try to pick other targets."

……

What Fu Qian was talking about was undoubtedly the bride and her friends.

It's a pity that this statement seems to have caused greater psychological pressure on Hilaria.

After all, this glimmer of hope is achieved through a similar process of death transfer.

Although Fu Qian's tone was calm, it still made people dare not doubt the authenticity of this statement.

"Who are the other four people?"

But in the end, Hilaria still showed her strong side.

Even while asking, he did not retreat but instead moved forward, walked to the seat opposite Fu Qian, and slowly sat down.

"I don't know their names, but there is a middle-aged man wearing a felt hat, a very neat old lady, a strong young man dressed like a miner, and a bride who is younger than him and a little more unrestrained in spirit..."

He did not refuse the request. Fu Qian recalled the scene of the healing dream and briefly introduced the four auxiliary staff.

"Just saying that, I'm not really sure who you're referring to—"

Hilaria, who was listening attentively, looked at him with eyes flickering for a while, and finally shook her head.

"The one wearing the hat is sitting right where you are now, and here."

However, her helplessness was instantly interrupted by Fu Qian.

Pointing his chin at Hilaria's feet, Fu Qian turned around and pointed in three directions in succession.

"Here, and here..."

"I saw them in a special dream. They gathered in this building. They were obviously devout followers of Master Arcons. Does this help you remember anything?"

……

"The devout believers... did they tell you?"

It can be seen that this supplementary explanation had a great impact on Hilaria, so much so that she couldn't help but repeat Fu Qian's statement with mixed emotions.

"Yes, most people are very enthusiastic. I had a brief conversation with them..."

Fu Qian nodded seriously.

"The one sitting next to you can't help but cling to the statue. His firm belief is touching."

Ha ha……

Although there was almost no sound, Hilaria could still be heard laughing.

"That's a really beautiful scene... But if that's the case, where was I sitting in that dream?"

The next moment she even asked in a very involved manner. "You are not here, you are down there."

……

"And to be honest, they seem to be somewhat skeptical of your faith in Lord Akons and are unwilling to associate with you."

……

When it comes to sowing discord, grasping the key points has always been the key.

Fu Qian believed that if it was just a few curses and criticisms, it would probably not have any damaging effect on Hilaria, who had been holding on alone for so long.

However, when a loyal believer's faith is questioned or when he is called a disloyal apostate, the impact is undoubtedly on a different level.

Combined with the previous death substitution, Fu Qian was undoubtedly very interested in how Hilaria's reaction would change.

As we walked along just now, we could vaguely see that this place seemed to be a town that prospered because of the mining industry.

On the one hand, this can explain the dejected brother's clothes. On the other hand, the social structure in such places is generally simpler.

This abandoned belief should undoubtedly play a very important role in its operation.

Therefore, Fu Qian thought it was not a waste to give this stubborn person some appropriate stimulation.

"Is that what they said? I'm not that surprised..."

Although it seems to have the opposite effect.

After a long, waxen silence, when Hilaria spoke again, she was not more agitated, but instead entered into a state of calm relief.

“The eternal, unanswered cry is a more painful experience than looking into the abyss, especially when you are in the dark.”

She did not angrily reveal the names and addresses of several abandoned believers and use Fu Qian to complete the execution. She even expressed understanding for their feelings.

"This place is dead, even its name..."

"There are fewer and fewer people, and everything is crumbling and decaying. I can't remember the date for a long time...Sooner or later, darkness will swallow everything."

Shaking her head slowly, Hilaria looked out at the dark night through the stained glass window on the wall.

……

Yes, he looks a bit like a saint.

It turns out that if you want to hold on in the face of decline, you can't just rely on enthusiasm.

"But you stayed."

Although the believer Hilaria's reaction to the final attack was too dull, Fu Qian didn't mind it and even looked outside with her.

"Also, I heard that it's not just a simple irregular switch between day and night. When darkness falls, there will really be a special creature wandering in it, and its name cannot even be discussed. Do you know this... or do you know the name of 'it'?"

Fu Qian sounded like he had high hopes for her.

"I don't know... I've never walked in the dark before."

Unfortunately, Hilaria instantly shook her head calmly and firmly.

"Although I did hear some peculiar sounds, they were obviously only from humans. I don't think that can prove the situation you are talking about, let alone get a name."

"Makes sense."

Fu Qian obviously agreed with this statement, but the next moment he blinked and his expression suddenly became weird.

"So—do you know my name?"

"you……"

At first, she seemed to be unable to react to why Fu Qian put these questions together, but the next moment Hilaria's pupils suddenly dilated, and she suddenly realized that the other party was coming from the darkness.

Unfortunately, before she could even say anything, her face and black veil were shattered by an invisible impact.
