Wang Xu and Yan Li followed the crowd silently. They soon noticed that the direction of the villagers was not towards the ancient house, but somewhere else. However, Wang Xu decided to continue following. After all,
Recreating death scenes is very valuable and can yield many clues.
After wandering around the woods for a long time, suddenly, a gust of moist air hit our faces, and everyone's eyes suddenly opened up. Under the bright moonlight, a broad lake appeared in front of them.
"Lake Louise!" Wang Xu's first reaction was surprise. Unexpectedly, after going around in a big circle, they actually came back here again.
Yan Li turned back and looked at the mountains in the distance: "Those mountains, we didn't seem to see them when we first walked out of the woods..." This is indeed a doubtful point. If they had discovered those snow-capped mountains before, they should have guessed that they were there.
Where is it?
Wang Xu replied: "Maybe you didn't pay attention. Now that the moon is out, of course you can see further."
This was obviously a muddled explanation, similar to self-comfort, but Yan Li couldn't figure out what was going on, so she stopped talking.
The crowd continued to move forward until they reached the lake. At this time, there were no big hotels next to Lake Louise. The lake surface under the moonlight reflected a gem-like brilliance, like a piece of flawless jade, which was magnificent and beautiful.
But what happened next was very ugly...
Surrounded by several strong young men, a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old was pushed out from the crowd. Her mouth was gagged, her body was tied with ropes, and her face was full of wet tears.
Wang Xu and Yan Li didn't notice her before, presumably because she was always surrounded in the center of the crowd, and because she was short, she couldn't scream.
The girl lowered her head and walked towards the lake with heavy steps. The villagers were surrounding the lake in three layers and three layers outside. The crowd formed a crescent shape. A man who looked like a priest and an old man stood in the middle, giving instructions.
Several young men used pitchforks and torches to drive the girl away.
"They are going to drive her into the lake!" Yan Li said.
Wang Xu replied: "I saw it."
"You're just looking at it?"
"What else can I do? This has already happened. We can see it, cannot touch it, and cannot change it."
At this time, a person's roar suddenly came from the woods behind, "Wait!"
Everyone turned to look at the source of the voice, and a glimmer of hope ignited in the girl's desperate eyes.
A young man who looked extremely embarrassed walked under the moonlight. He was breathing heavily and looked haggard. It seemed that every step he took took a lot of effort.
"Let Aisalina go! I can die for him!" He still wanted to move forward, but two men were already approaching quickly, one on the left and one on the right holding him back.
"Paul! Devon! I remembered to ask you to lock him up! Why is he here now!" The old man standing there shouted with his bellows-like broken gong voice.
The two men who were driving away the girl with pitchforks replied: "I'm sorry, Mr. Rigg, we have tied him up and locked him in the cellar, but we didn't expect him to escape..."
Old Man Rigg continued to yell: "Derek, you'd better stop interfering with this matter. You're just a stranger! A passer-by! This is a matter of our village, you have no right to interfere!"
Derek struggled to free himself from the restraint, but he was too exhausted to shake off the two men around him: "You are committing murder! You have no right to decide the life or death of others!"
"Shut up!" the priest spoke. He looked fierce at this moment, not like a clergyman at all: "If God brings wrath and disaster to us because of your nonsense, how should you be responsible?!"
"Go to hell with your son of a bitch! I told you, the plague is just a disease, not a divine punishment! There is no blame from God!"
"What are you doing standing still! Drag him away quickly!" Rigg said sternly.
The priest seemed very excited: "This unbridled pagan... is so arrogant, he doesn't know what he is talking about!" He then shouted to everyone: "Our God, he is the most powerful assistant around God.
, he has always protected us from the ravages of disease and disaster. But Aisalina! This wanton bitch! She took in and harbored this heretic, angering the gods! Therefore, our god was furious, and he wanted to
Let us pay with blood! The plague is just the beginning. If we don’t dedicate this woman’s life, no one will survive!”
The crowd immediately became noisy, with women showing horrified expressions, and men waving their fists in indignation. Even some old people shouted: "Kill this bitch!", and more voices shouted: "Kill him!"
Those infidels will also be sent to hell!"
Derek was pulled further and further away, but he did not give up yet, and kept shouting: "You murderers! Facing the fear of the unknown, you refuse to face your ignorance! But you want to find peace of mind by killing others!
You are all murderers! Murderers!"
Through the layers of barriers, the girl's eyes and Derek's eyes were always looking at each other. They wanted to hold each other's hands and hold each other in their arms, even if they died, they would die together... But at this moment,
Eyes are the only thing that connects them.
Derek soon saw a scene that changed his life.
Aisalina smiled, her smile full of bitterness and helplessness, but also with a sense of relief. Her eyes seemed to be begging him: "Forget it, you have to live a good life and forget about me."
With such a smile, the girl turned her head, walked into the beautiful lake, and walked into the abyss of death...
The crowd immediately fell silent, even the priest and old man Rigg stopped talking. Everyone stood there as if frozen, and the two men who wanted to pull Derek away also let go of their hands.
Derek was shouting and crying hysterically. He could no longer stand still. He stumbled through the crowd and rushed towards the lake. Finally, he knelt on the sandy ground and let out the most tragic voice in his hoarse voice.
's roar.
I don't know how long it took, but he knelt on the ground like that, with his head buried between his legs, grabbing the sand on the ground with both hands, until his nails turned up and blood burst out. Tears were a luxury, and he couldn't shed them any more, so he just
I didn't even have the strength to cry out, I could only choke and tremble.
Wang Xu sighed in his heart: It's true that men don't shed tears lightly, but it's just because it's not the time to be sad.
The priest was the first to break the silence: "Pagan, you killed her, get out of our village quickly, you are not welcome here!"
"Shameless!" Yan Li was trembling with anger, "Obviously it was him and that Rigg who drove her to death, but they still said that someone else killed her!"
Wang Xu said: "Hey... I finally understand. This is similar to sacrificing boys and girls to the river god in Journey to the West. Humans... are really terrible animals. In order to survive for themselves, sacrificing others is just a sight."
Without blinking an eye, not only did I do this, but I also wanted to occupy the moral high ground in the end. I would never say it was for my own survival, but only for everyone's safety."
"You're right." Derek said.
Wang Xu was startled and thought to himself: What's the matter? Can this guy hear me?
Yan Li hid behind Wang Xu, pulled the corner of his clothes, and whispered in his ear: "Everyone is gone..."
Wang Xu felt that his eyes were blurred. It was true that just now there were all people here, and now only Derek was left. The light of the torch naturally disappeared, and only a crescent moon was still hanging in the sky.
Derek stood up, but did not look back: "These people are all murderers. They killed an innocent man, my savior." He raised his head, as if looking up at the sky: "So, these people have to fight for
There’s a price to pay.”
"Did you kill them all?" Wang Xu asked tentatively.
Unexpectedly, Derek suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "They don't deserve to live!!"
Wang Xu asked: "Oh, that means you have succeeded, right... I don't want to ask you how you massacred the village. I just want to ask, what is your relationship with Manson? Also, let
Why are we looking at this past event?"
Derek snorted: "Manson? I don't want to waste time discussing things about him. As for the reason why I asked you to see this..." He turned around slowly, his face was pale, like a walking zombie.
, he faced Wang Xu and said: "You, I saw what you did to her."
Both Wang Xu and Yan Li's expressions changed, and they both asked in unison: "What did you see?" Their tone was quite angry.
Derek remained as calm as ever and said to Wang Xu: "You brought her soul... back... I need this power from you."
Wang Xu actually felt as if he had received an amnesty: "Oh~ this is something."
Yanli's eyebrows stood up: "What do you think is going on?"
"Tch... whatever you were thinking just now is what I was thinking." Wang Xu replied very arrogantly.
Yan Li was speechless after being told what was on her mind, so she had no choice but to pinch Wang Xu violently to vent her anger.
Wang Xu's face immediately became unsightly, and he felt as if he had been constipated for three or four days. He said something to Derek in a sinister tone, something that could make Derek furious: "I think you'd better be accommodating and accommodating."
