Tower Defense Game: My Eternal Kingdom

Chapter 313 I'm Guilty...?
suddenly.

All the moving images in the darkness disappeared.

Cheng Shen's hands were covered with blood, but after he calmed down, he realized that it was all his own. The injuries he had torn into pieces were all strangely reflected on him, and the large and small wounds stained him into blood.

"call……"

He took a light breath and felt a burning pain in his lungs.

The injuries on his body, in reality, he had already died countless times, but this place is a nightmare.Cheng Shen's tenacious and unyielding will has always protected a sliver of clarity in his heart from falling into the abyss created by nightmares.

"that's it……?"

He stared blankly at the corners of his torn eyes, and the flowing blood stained his sight with blood red.In the pitch-black environment, a bright exit suddenly appeared, and this time it was finally not an image.

Cheng Shen limped out towards the exit.

The light suddenly brightened.

He unconsciously narrowed his eyes until the scene in front of him slowly became clear.

This is a prayer room, the floor of the room is empty, like a pool, surging with suffocating dark matter.From time to time, humanoid objects struggled to escape from it, making horrific howling sounds.

And along Cheng Shen's feet, there is a small path filled with white candles, which goes straight through the black pool and connects to a circular platform in the middle.

Circles of candles were also placed around the platform, and the flames gathered towards the center without any wind, surrounding a golden altar engraved with mysterious patterns, and on the altar was a head that was poured red with blood.

There are two people in the room.

one standing.

Constantly chanting mysterious and obscure prayers or spells in front of the altar.

Cheng Shen saw Govia, who was kneeling at the corner of the altar with her back to him, blood pooled under her body, her pale face was exposed through wet and messy hair, her eyes were tightly closed, and her breath was weak.

The whispers echoing in the prayer room stopped with Cheng Shen's arrival, and the old man with gray beard and hair in a plain gray robe turned around.

"Daniel, you have committed a lot of crimes, and you still haven't repented?"

"Pooh!"

Cheng Shen spit out a mouthful of bloody saliva. He glanced at Govia who was at the side, grinned slightly, and walked straight forward, "It seems that you are playing tricks... as long as you kill you, everything should be over!"

pat.

The white candles placed on the path were kicked by him and fell into the darkness on both sides, as if they had fallen into a quagmire, but the flames were still burning, and the matter in the darkness seemed to avoid natural enemies when facing the flames.

"You have lost your way."

said the old man.

"Ah."

Cheng Shen didn't want to argue with a false phantom who had been dead for an unknown amount of time, so he sneered, and his feet accelerated suddenly. The Nightmare Blade in his hand was completely stained red with blood, and the world reflected by the blade became more and more real.

"Repent..." The old man looked at him and sighed slightly. He put his hands together in front of his chest and prayed in a low voice: "For the sins you committed..."

Zheng!
A black spike came out of the path without warning, Cheng Shen was moving fast, it looked as if he had bumped into it himself, the sharp point of the spear pierced directly from his chest, and pierced through his back!
"Ho..."

Cheng Shen suddenly coughed up a big mouthful of blood, as if he was nailed to the floor. He grabbed the spear with his backhand, feeling the vitality in his body being continuously pulled out, and the breath that had been hanging in his heart finally collapsed.

"Daniel..."

There was a hint of unbearable expression on the old man's face, but he soon became firm again, "You died a long time ago, in that terrible disaster that you personally brewed thousands of years ago, stop being obsessed with it."

"What are you... talking about... bullshit..."

Cheng Shen gasped for air, the long spear pierced his heart thoroughly, if not for the characteristics of the nightmare space, he would have been killed on the spot.

But capital punishment is exempt.

There is still pain to bear.

The torn and shredded viscera spewed out of his mouth as he opened his mouth, and the pain in various senses made him feel like he was about to suffocate.

"Poor lost soul..."

The old man sighed softly, turned around, and picked up a heavy ancient book on the altar.The book has been half-opened, and the crooked words like tadpoles cover the entire page. He read in an old voice without any emotion:

"Daniel, you joined the church at the age of seven, and at the age of 12, under the guidance of Father Hughes, you became a formal believer in the Abbey of Hymns.

But your vow was broken at the age of 15.

In order to compete for the saint's crown, you killed Hughes, who was your same age at the time, and concealed it as a fake suicide.

Since then you have embarked on a path of sin..."

"17 years old..."

"19 years old..."

"23 years old..."

The old man read out Cheng Shen's crimes one by one. From the initial murder by mistake, to the terrible desire and psychological distortion, in 21 years, he actually killed 52 people with his own hands!

The weird thing is.

Every time the old man uttered a crime, the corresponding memory would emerge in Cheng Shen's mind.

Those extremely clear scenes seemed to have happened yesterday.

Cheng Shen could even feel the hot, throbbing, slippery feeling when he held the victim's fresh internal organs in his hands.Desperate faces appeared in front of his eyes, as if vengeful spirits were gnawing at his heart.

"No..." Cheng Shen was almost immersed in it, he shook his head suddenly, and stared at the old man with his bloodshot eyes. "There is something wrong with the book in your hand! You are tampering with my memory! I did not do those things!"

"Of course it's not all..." The old man looked at Cheng Shen with pity, "In the first few times, you were just trying to help Father Hughes conceal the truth, but your soul gradually fell into the abyss of crime after killing again and again.

You are not the only one.

This monastery looks bright, pure and holy on the outside, but the inside has long been rotten. Everyone has sinned, and everyone commits different sins. Your evil has turned the sanctuary into the most terrifying hell in the world. "

Every time he said a word, a strange picture would flash in Cheng Shen's mind.

It was the memory of a soul named Daniel who lived in this monastery bit by bit, and most of these pictures were full of blood and blood, and gradually merged with Cheng Shen's original memory.

"Shut up!...Don't talk anymore!" Cheng Shen roared furiously with veins bulging on his forehead.

Those cruel and bloody images are constantly eroding his pure mind... turning him into the real Daniel little by little!

"I'm telling you the truth." The old man calmly said, "Everyone is awake, only you are still in a deep daze, the punishment of the gods cannot be stopped because of this, and everyone is suffering from nightmares over and over again."

"it's all because of you!"

The old man's tone suddenly increased with a deep resentment.

his words.

The scariest memory of that scene was awakened.

The luxurious church is full of corpses, maggots are wriggling, and desires are flowing; countless impoverished people who have been bewitched and dedicated their lives kneel outside the high wall, worshiping devoutly, but they don't know that a group of devils live inside the wall!
at last.

The sin they committed offended the gods.

A huge, indescribably stalwart figure floated above the dome, and a tear of blood flowed from his eyes, flooding the church, revived the buried dead, and swallowed everything with despair and terror.

In the terrifying and weird doomsday scene of the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood.

his countenance,

It caught my eye.

"because I……?"

Cheng Shen's consciousness fell into confusion, and subconsciously, he couldn't help but believe everything that happened because of him.

"Of course!"

The old man said with certainty.

After he finished speaking, his tone suddenly softened again, "However, thousands of years have passed since that disaster, and every day, the victims and sinners here are constantly experiencing the torment of that nightmare again and again.

The sinners of the past have been sincerely repented, and for the poor victims there should be an end to their suffering. "

"Is this also because of me...?"

Cheng Shen gradually accepted his identity as Daniel, and felt deeply ashamed and remorseful for the 52 people he brutally killed.

"That's right." The old man nodded and said, "They have all woken up, only you are still trapped in the nightmare, but as long as you don't wake up for a day, this nightmare formed by God's punishment will never end the cycle."

"Now, wake up and repent of your sins..."

"Daniel."

The old man looked at Cheng Shen with deep eyes.

"call……"

The spear stuck in his chest was extremely cold, making Cheng Shen feel suffocated and weak for a while, and the chaotic consciousness intertwined in his mind, so he couldn't help giving birth to an idea to end this endless nightmare...

"I……"

Cheng Shen dragged out a long tone.

The old man closed the book and waited quietly for him to confess his crime.

But after waiting for a long time, Cheng Shen didn't have anything to say. He was stuck in place as if he was dead.

"Ok?"

The old man was puzzled.

I heard Cheng Shen take a deep breath as if he was suffocating, and raised his eyes full of confusion, "I don't know... I'm not sure... You know so many secrets of the past, are you a survivor of that disaster? "

"survivor……"

The old man's eyes suddenly became extremely distant and complicated.

"Only those who are not stained with evil can survive that disaster, but who would have thought that the only innocent person in that monastery is the combination of two demons who fell into the abyss..."

He smiled mockingly.

He looked at Cheng Shen.

"I should have called you...Father before."

"..." Cheng Shen's eyes were even more blank, and after a while, he realized, "Are you my child with Govia?"

"I am now the Son of God."

The old man said calmly.

"Oh……"

Cheng Shen's expression seemed to be suppressing a smile and pretending to be very sad, and then looked into his eyes, where there was no confusion, the firm eyes were full of sobriety and unyielding, and at this time there was a bit of inexplicable emotion.

"I have to admit that you demons do have a bit of quality compared to those insidious and cunning demons."

He nodded.

"?"

The old man was taken aback when he heard the words, and suddenly, he suddenly felt a black shadow approaching beside him, followed by a chill in his chest.

puff!
The sharp blade pierced his chest with blood red!
"Uh……"

He turned his head in disbelief, and saw Govia whose entire chest had been sliced ​​open, disregarding all the exposed internal organs, her bloodless face was cold and heartless, holding the handle of the knife with both hands and twisting it hard!
Squeak...!
The sound of the blade rubbing against the ribs was creepy. The wound on the old man's chest was directly torn open into a horrible blood hole. The sharp knife stirred wantonly in his chest, cutting his heart into a pile of paste!
"how dare you……!"

The old man's face changed suddenly, but before he could react, Govia behind him closed her eyes and fell straight to the ground.

Completely out of breath.

This fatal blow came at the cost of her life...

"Cough...cough...how come..."

The old man knelt down on the ground coughing blood, his heart was full of puzzlement, obviously everything was under his control, obviously everything went smoothly.

Seeing to be successful...

when!
Cheng Shen swung his knife and cut off the gun barrel protruding from the ground. With the broken gun still stuck in his chest, his face twitched violently and slowly moved forward.

"My big boy..."

Cheng Shen spoke in a long tone.

"In order to make up a complete lie, even yourself is willing to do so. In this regard, you have learned a bit of the fur of the devil. But if another devil were to weave this lie, it would never let yourself be so embarrassed.

You are still too straightforward..."

Cheng sighed deeply.

"How can you...resist my magic sound piercing your brain..."

The old man was puzzled.

"Brainwashing?" Cheng Shen shook his head, "I don't understand, and I don't know how to resist, but I understand a truth. But if you want the deceived to believe your fabricated facts, you must at least be logically consistent and have no loopholes.

The sins of the 52...

Hehe, you seem to look down on me a little bit! "

Cheng Shen smiled ferociously.

First, let the danger in the nightmare force him into a near-death situation and weaken his mental resistance, and then through the illusion of death and the influence of special props, he tried to subconsciously admit Daniel's identity.

thereby repenting.

I have to say that few people can handle this set of procedures.

Cheng Shen guessed that once he really admitted his guilt and confessed, he would really become a sinner in this monastery.

There is no longer any escape.

but.

There were two irreconcilable holes in the lie he had made up.

One, the identity of Daniel is not a member of the Anthem Monastery.

And Cheng Shen put on another layer of cover.

double interference.

As a result, when the old man denounced his crimes in Daniel's name, Cheng Shen couldn't feel the sense of substitution at all.The sinner you judged was Daniel, and he was the one who should repent. What does it have to do with Cheng Shen! ?

Second.

That's the reason he said.

The sins of fifty or so people just want him to feel ashamed and take the initiative to punish him...

It's so insulting!
"But, what did you two plan..."

The old man looked up.

Cheng Shen had already dragged the broken gun and walked in front of him, raised the knife and lowered it, a cold light ruthlessly passed by, and a fine bloodstain appeared on the old man's neck.

Then it expanded rapidly.

"This question..." Cheng Shen's eyes drifted a little, "Maybe it's the tacit understanding between the enemies."
