People are in Xingyue, professional investigators

then.

"Judgement Witch! Judgment Witch! Judgment Witch!"

The adults' fanatical cries grew louder and louder, drowning out the innocent roars one after another.

Everyone who was originally kind seemed to have fallen into madness, doubting each other and reporting each other.

Send innocent people to the gallows one by one, cheering for the trial of each "witch".

This is simply a sacrifice. People sacrifice "witches" to the gallows one by one, using innocent lives as sacrifices to satisfy the madness, and they continue to sacrifice blood.

They are not witches... they are innocent... I am the one who blasphemed... If you want to be judged, I should be judged!

The girl screamed at the top of her lungs in her heart, but her body couldn't control it.

One can only watch the crazy sacrifices one after another in the vision of virtuality and reality.

What the "curse" brings to girls is not hell, but the crazy world.

This brutal sacrifice did not end in brutality.

After imprisoning 150 people related to "witches" and "trialing" [-] "witches", the governor belatedly came to stop this crazy sacrifice.

The girl who screamed silently did not see the end of the day.

It was like a dream. When the girl woke up again, she was back before the sacrifice.

Only this time, the girl was not accompanied by her parents, but by her uncle.

Uncle Randolph Carter.

Then, the endless cycle of sacrifices began again.

Just to summon the god from beyond the stars.

And she is a witch chosen by the outer gods.

She wanted to run away, but couldn't.

Because the sinners in hell have not yet been redeemed——

Mo Li woke up from his dream and shook his head, turning off the system notifications.

Just by dreaming a dream in the memories of a Servant, one can gain such a huge amount of additional knowledge. What would it be like for Abigail who actually experienced that hell on earth?

Mo Li didn't know, but he was no longer sleepy now.

In order not to affect the sleep quality of others, Mo Li opened the door and prepared to blow some air to calm down.

"Brother A Li...?"

As soon as he walked out of the door, Mo Li saw the girl walking out of the next door and looking at him in surprise.

Then, the two fell silent.

After a while, Mo Li took the initiative and said, "Did you dream about me again?"

Abigail nodded and responded with silence.

"Then let's take a walk in the courtyard."

"Ah."

The investigator and the Outer God Miko silently walked down the stairs and entered the courtyard.

It's still dark and the wind is blowing coldly.

Mo Li covered the slightly trembling Abigail with his coat and said, "I dreamed about Abi."

"my business?"

Abigail frowned and looked at Mo Li apologetically.

"I'm sorry for letting Brother Ali see something bad."

"Those sinful things did not originate from you."

Mo Li recalled the crazy scenes in his dream, shook his head and said.

"The more people suppress themselves, the deeper their dissatisfaction and resentment will be, and the more terrifying it will be when they explode."

"I have no intention of criticizing the Puritan lifestyle, but human emotions are like dust in a room. If you don't clean it, it will only accumulate." Mo Li said, "Even if there is no witch trial, sooner or later the people of Salem will Will find other outlets.”

"I know... I know everything. But... if I hadn't played with my friends that day..." Abigail said sadly, "Maybe... everyone wouldn't have gone there. One step..."

"That's why Abi said, do you want to return to that false Salem?" Mo Li asked.

After connecting with Abigail's dream, Mo Li already knew that the girl's so-called home was the hell called the Salem Singularity, and the reason why she wanted to go back was to save those who were trapped in suspicion and hatred. of Salem's undead.

"Yeah." Abigail nodded and replied, "I want to go back and help everyone."

Mo Li warned again: "Have you ever thought about whether what those people long for is salvation, and what is the real salvation for them?"

"I..." Abigail was silent for a moment and replied, "I don't know...but I think...I should go help everyone..."

"Even...they are hopeless?"

"Well..." Abigail insisted, "I still want to give it a try."

Mo Li knew that the Salem witch trial case was an indelible knot in Abigail's heart.

The impact of that terrifying hell on earth cannot be resolved with words.

But Mo Li knew that he had to pull out the thorn in Abigail's heart before the tense days of the Holy Grail War arrived.

Even with some rough means.

Mo Li raised his left hand and struck Abigail on the head with his knife.

"pain--"

Abigail groaned in pain, and the sadness disappeared from her face.

After the pain dissipated, Abigail looked at the Master in confusion: "Brother Ali, did I do something wrong?"

"Yes, you are wrong."

"You have committed a grave sin that is obvious even to me, an unbeliever."

"You regard yourself as a saint, an angel, or even a god."

"You actually think that a soul that deserves to be punished and tortured can still be redeemed by tolerance."

"Abigail Williams." Mo Li called the girl by her name and solemnly pronounced, "You have committed the crime of arrogance."

Chapter 26 Temporary resolution of knots

"I'm... arrogant?"

Abigail kept shaking her head, her expression full of pain and sadness.

The weird and terrifying aura seeped out from the girl's body silently, gathering into smoke-like dark purple tentacles. They were like self-aware monsters, constantly beating and biting the void on the girl's back.

Mo Li did not stop the terrifying and weird scene in front of him, he just looked at the girl as usual.

"Can't be like this..." Facing Mo Li's eyes, Abigail suppressed the sadness in her heart and murmured, "Can't be a bad boy..."

Like an hallucination, the terrifying limbs disappeared in the girl's murmur.

After suppressing the terrifying power in her body, the girl came back to her senses and looked at the Master sadly.

"Brother A Li...you know that I am a sinner...do you know that I am a witch..."

"If it is the power of the evil god from beyond the stars, I already knew it from the moment I summoned you."

"Is it...? So that's what it is..."

The sadness in Abigail's eyes became more intense, but the weird and terrifying aura did not appear again because of her sadness.

"...Please use the command spell to execute me." Abigail said, "At least this way, I can prevent me from hurting more people."

"It is indeed a good choice to solve the problem before it arises." Mo Li said, "But...are you serious?"

"Yes." Abigail closed her eyes and nodded, "Please execute me."

Facing the girl's reaction, Mo Li knew that his words had finally touched Abigail's wound.

Abigail, like the hopeless Puritans in Salem, is a constant suppressor of herself.

The way she suppresses herself is to be a good child and believe in gods, believing that everyone can be saved.

It is precisely because of this belief that is so simple that it obliterates herself, which brings her closer to madness.

In the original Salem Singularity, the demon Lord Raum also took advantage of Abigail's innocent and twisted heart of salvation to continuously accumulate mental pressure on her and repeat the cycle of evil judgments for the sake of justice. It was to pierce her heart, drive her into madness, and become the support of the external gods.

Regarding Abigail's problem, Mo Li gave a simple solution - scold her to wake her up!

"I refuse." Mo Li raised his left hand again, gave Abigail a knife in the hand as she closed her eyes and waited for death, and refused sternly, "What I like to do most is to say no to arrogant people!"

"It hurts—!" Abigail's eyes widened and she looked at her Master as if she were meeting this Master for the first time, "...Ali...brother?"

"Who do you think you are? Who do you think I am?" Mo Li scolded, "You are not a witch, demon, angel or god!"

"You have no right or obligation to save others!" Mo Li continued to curse, "No, the people you want to save are not even human beings, they are just a group of undead souls who deserve to be punished."

"Don't be so self-righteous and take all the responsibility on yourself! You are a 12-year-old child. What you should do now is to study, understand the causes of these problems, and think about solutions, instead of going crazy here. ."

"But I... am no longer a human being..." Abigail said sadly, "Have you seen those tentacles? They are all part of my body. I am no longer a human being."

"Yes, you are a miko who was chosen by the evil god and gained extraordinary power, but so what?"

"You haven't even saved yourself, and you still want to save others?" Mo Li asked, "Does your Lord also use unconditional indulgence as a way to save the souls of sinners when facing them?"

"I..."

"Unconditional indulgence is a hotbed of sin! It's also a sin!" The girl was about to defend, but was sternly interrupted by Mo Li, "Don't be so self-righteous. Some people just need punishment to understand their mistakes, and then they can repentance!"

Facing Mo Li's speeches one after another, which were like battering rams that kept hammering away at her defenses and tearing her own values ​​apart, Abigail froze on the spot.

Abigail didn't say anything, so Mo Li kept waiting.

He knew that the girl had to survive the pain on her own at this moment, and all he could do was provide spiritual guidance.

"...What I have been thinking all along turns out to be...all wrong...?"

"You shouldn't take all the sins on yourself." Faced with Abigail's question, Mo Li did not answer and said, "You are the victim of the Witch Trial. It is also connivance for the victim to take responsibility for the perpetrator. sin."

"But..."

"It's nothing," Mo Li said, "If you want to repent and make amends, you should accept this fact."

Mo Li raised his knife again, and when Abigail subconsciously held her head, he gently tapped her on the head.

"Don't take everything on yourself. You are a child, not an adult." Mo Li said with a smile, "Put down your arrogance and your only sin, Abi."

"...What if...I can't do it now?"

"Am I not so arrogant that I think I can completely change others with my preaching?" Mo Li comforted, "Change slowly."

Abigail was silent for a long time, and moisture gradually filled her blue eyes.

The girl buried herself in Mo Li's arms, sobbing silently.

Although it failed to completely open up Abi's heart, there was enough left to be solved by time.

I can barely clear it up.

However, I am obviously the unlucky investigator who experienced a weird dream of running a team and lost five points of sanity. Why am I still comforting others...

I really want to know which memory Abi dreamed about of mine, but the atmosphere is so coaxing...it’s hard to say anything.

Mo Li thought a little tangledly.

However, his confusion did not last long.

"Hmph, what a wonderful sermon, even I can't help but want to praise it."

The blond tyrant in golden armor suddenly appeared in the void, looking down at Mo Li in the courtyard with his red wine eyes.

"You are very good."
