Chapter 248 Crazy ritual

"what……"

Such a sudden change prevented the judges from reacting.

No one expected that a frail little girl could kill someone so easily.

Moreover...she killed the great priest!

"Master High Priest!?"

These judges no longer cared about Gladys at this moment, and hurriedly gathered around Herrell's body.

However, they were experienced and could tell with just one glance... Herrell was definitely dead.

"..." Everyone stood there in disbelief, unable to say a word.

Did such a powerful great priest die so easily?

However, listening to Xiao Yi's words, Gladys suddenly seemed to notice something and said with enlightenment:

"By the way, I don't want to atone for my sins. I'm not that powerful or such a noble person. It turns out that I'm just... very uncomfortable."

Gladys's hands holding the blade couldn't stop trembling. She didn't know whether it was because of fear... or because of excitement and excitement.

Xiao Yi only has one thought in his heart now, and that is... to escape.

Even if you walk straight forward, you will eventually come back in thick fog, unable to get out of this town no matter what.

Xiao Yi just wants to take a boat at the port and leave this strange place completely!

And the one they didn't care about anymore... Gladys, who killed Herrell, laughed.

"...feeling uncomfortable?"

What evil gods, what hallucinations, it doesn’t matter anymore.

Therefore, Xiao Yi no longer cared about the corpses here and fled from here.

Everyone looked at the corpse blankly and fell silent.

So... who will lead them to resolve the evil god's chaos next?

"...Don't come over." However, Gladys looked at Xiao Yi with determination in her eyes, "Don't come over, brother... please."

"...It doesn't matter anymore." Xiao Yi no longer wants to care about things here.

"...Brother." Gladys was stunned for a moment, then returned to her original demeanor. She bit her lips lightly, her eyes moistened and she shed tears.

"I... must atone for my sins." Gladys said to herself, and pointed the blood-stained blade at her throat.

"Well, that's right." Gladys looked indifferent, but she couldn't stop crying, and said in a trembling voice: "Dad said that when you encounter something sad, just cry, it will make you feel better... ...But, I still feel so uncomfortable now, there is no point in crying... Living is really a troublesome thing."

Even the most experienced people cannot escape from here, and not only the waterways of the sea, but also the land.

He wanted to escape from here and keep escaping like this.

"No!" Xiao Yi said hurriedly: "It has nothing to do with you..."

In fact, everyone who wanted to escape by boat could not see anything after driving the boat into the thick fog. When they could see their surroundings clearly again, they found that they were back in this small town.

"..."

Then... Xiao Yi himself didn't know how he got to the port.

Amidst the quarrels among those people, Xiao Yi learned that the town was surrounded by an unnatural thick fog.

"Tisi..." Xiao Yi approached Gladys with a complicated expression and said, "Give me the knife..."

"Hehe..." She showed a satisfied and relieved smile, "You deserve to die... you really deserve it! You killed sister Liddy and killed more people, you deserved to die! I... I’m saving everyone.”

Instead of being shrouded in thick fog, it was surrounded by thick fog. A thick fog surrounded the town, seeming to prevent everyone from leaving here.

Then, Gladys fell to the ground and died like this... lightly.

"Is there no need for atonement?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gladys stabbed the blade into her throat without any hesitation.

However, at this moment, Gladys could no longer listen to a word from others.

But... the port has long been crowded with people, and they are still arguing about something.

Outside the door, Xiao Yi suddenly bumped into the gentleman, but he had no intention of explaining anything to the gentleman and did not stop.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry." She said this: "It's my fault. It's because of me... that I killed Tia. It was because of my hateful jealousy towards her that she died, right? I ...is the murderer.”

"That's right! This is not your fault. You don't have to be responsible for this... put the knife down." Xiao Yi tried to persuade and convince the girl.

"...!" Xiao Yi's pupils suddenly shrank sharply! He quickly tried to stop him, "Wait!"

The judges did not stop him. They were confused at the moment and didn't know what to do.

Her trembling sobs suddenly turned into a sound like leaking wind.

"..."

Xiao Yi felt a stinging sensation. He felt as if his brain was being hit by an electric drill.

"..." Xiao Yi paused, and he could only persuade him: "You... have no need to atone for your sins."

His vision began to dim and brighten, and everything was moving away from him.

"This must be the work of the evil god. He wants to trap us here!"

In the quarreling crowd, people kept shouting loudly.

No one refuted, they just cursed the evil god, or prayed devoutly for blessings to the god they believed in.

"The evil god...is he the evil god again!?" Xiao Yi's breathing became rapid.

Right now, more and more people are dying, and everything points to the existence of the evil god.

So many examples have long been enough to prove that behind all of this there is indeed a being with mysterious power controlling everything secretly.

This point... Xiao Yi, who is now physically and mentally exhausted, cannot deny it at all costs.

Moreover, Xiao Yi also sincerely began to hope that the evil god really existed! This way at least you can have a target for revenge! Instead of watching all this happen helplessly and at a loss.

However, even if the evil god actually exists, Xiao Yi still doesn't know where that guy is hiding and how happily he watches this crazy show, which is why Xiao Yi is so upset.

"...You can't even leave? This is really..."

Then, Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh again, not even bothering to pay attention to the thoughts that were tingling his nerves. Since he can't leave this town now, Xiao Yi can only wander around and return to the town again to face everything he doesn't want to face again.

Xiao Yi didn't want to go back to the scene of the tragedy, and he didn't know if others would handle everything well.

He had no choice but to... return to Karl's home.

Karl was at home, still looking that decadent.

"...Karl." Xiao Yi came to him and said slowly: "Gladys...is dead."

There is no embellishment, just a simple and straightforward statement of this fact.

Xiao Yi has no intention of whitewashing anything anymore, because the reality is what it is. No matter how much you say, it can't change the fact that she and those people are dead.

The deaths of those people have truly become a reality in Xiao Yi's perception.

"..."

Karl was still silent, he had no reaction to this... he just remained silent.

After a long silence, Karl asked slowly:

"……where is she?"

Afterwards, Karl held funerals for his daughters Gladys and Letitia.

During the funeral, he remained expressionless, making it impossible to see his emotions at the moment, let alone his thoughts.

It wasn't until everything was over that Karl said to Xiao Yi:

"Wait a little longer, Xiao Yi..."

"What are you waiting for?" Xiao Yi asked.

"I will be able to get that medicine soon." Karl said: "That guy Herrell is dead. Without him in charge, everything will be much more convenient."

"...Aren't you sad?" Xiao Yi couldn't help but ask.

"..." Karl just gave a bitter smile to this, "Now that things have happened, it is meaningless to talk about these things. Let them be peaceful and stop making noise... Moreover, I promised you, I will cure you." No matter what, I will definitely keep my promise."

"...Thank you." Xiao Yi expressed his gratitude to Karl.

The only thing that gave Xiao Yi some comfort was that at least Karl, whom he didn't know, was really a very good person.

Even Xiao Yi himself had forgotten about the hallucination problem that appeared inexplicably. However, Karl still remembered it seriously, and in such a sad situation, he still did not forget to look for drugs to treat hallucinations.

This made Xiao Yi thank Karl from the bottom of his heart.

But, if one day, if Karl...

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi frowned and immediately threw this thought out of his mind.

……

In the days that followed, the pursuit, accusations, and trials of the followers of the evil god continued.

Although Herrell was dead, those remaining in the Holy See loudly proclaimed that they had inherited Herrell's legacy.

They loudly announced to the townspeople:

"Even though Master Herel has left us and returned to the realm of God, leaving us alone to continue fighting against the evil god. This is so sad, but that does not mean that we will give up! We will inherit his legacy. Legacy! Do your best! Use the brilliance of God to destroy the evil gods and their ilk!"

The response from the Holy See allowed those who were disturbed by Herrell's death to once again participate in a just trial. How could they not support the Holy See?

Although the members of the Holy See always spoke in sad words regarding the reality of Herrell's death, the uncontrollable rising corners of their mouths proved the joy in their hearts.

For the members of the Holy See in this town, of course they respect the high priest who is recognized by God, but... they have been looking forward to it for a long time, thinking that they would finally obtain higher power and become the most noble person in this town. No one would feel happy if they were crushed to death by someone who fell from the sky.

Now that Herrell is dead, these members of the Holy See are free to act according to their own will! Moreover, in order to consolidate this power, they have decided to use the evil god's trial to try their best to meet the needs of the townspeople.

Therefore, when Herrell was still there, there was still some rational judgment, but now it was in name only, and it was completely rushing towards the direction of crazy bloody rituals.

A girl accused the foreign servant of their family of intending to taint her. The servant was considered a good person in the neighborhood and would never do such a thing, and he defended himself with all his strength.

However, the girl's words negated all his previous efforts.

"That's just your disguise! Pretend to be a good person to hide the fact that you are actually a follower of the evil god!"

This sentence made people who were originally silent speak out in unison!

"Yes! It must be right! It seems that you followers of the evil god are very good at pretending to be good people!"

"She is a girl waiting to be married! How could she accuse her of innocence!? It must be true! This guy is a foreigner! He looks honest, but in fact he doesn't know that he is dirty!"

But in fact, the reason for the girl's accusation was...she felt that the servant was not handsome enough.

She didn't want an ugly man wandering around her house all day long, it would be annoying to death.

Of course she had told her parents about this, but it was certainly impossible for her parents to give up a cheap and useful servant just because she was not good-looking.

This girl has been very depressed about this, and today, she finally had a chance to make that guy disappear into her home.

She also thanked God from the bottom of her heart for giving her the power to accuse and judge.

Under the overwhelming momentum, the servant was pushed into the fire with a look of despair.

He did not turn into the monster that the townspeople expected until his death, but the townspeople didn't care about it. They just felt that they had eliminated another believer of the evil god. As for what happened now, they had allowed them to explain whatever they wanted.

The girl also talked about this matter with her friends in private, which aroused a burst of envy, so her friends also began to imitate this behavior to realize their wishes.

Subsequently, this trend swept the entire town.

As long as there are accusations, the Vatican personnel will arrest the accused without asking any reason, conduct a short and casual trial, and then burn them.

It didn't take long for the outsiders in the town to disappear, and almost all of them died during the trial.

The aimless townspeople finally pointed their fingers at the people around them.

In addition to their disgust and disdain for foreigners, they also harbor jealousy and resentment towards their neighbors.

The amount of land owned, the wealth of the family, whether the children have a good future... these factors of jealousy make people can't help but accuse the people around them.

This trial still shows no sign of ending, and it is still developing towards an even greater level.

……

Xiao Yi didn't care about all this. He was just waiting patiently for the arrival of the medicine and how to get out of here.

finally! Xiao also received good news from Karl!

While Xiao Yi was living in confusion at Carl's home, a nurse under Carl followed Carl's instructions and came here to report news to Xiao Yi.

"Mr. Xiao Yi, Dr. Karl wants me to tell you something...he has obtained the Glor family's medicine!"
