The leader, who was sweating coldly, did not dare to look directly into those bright eyes, lowered his head and said: "Please follow me..."
Viscount Reeves glanced at the guard indifferently, and there was the sound of a sword being drawn.
The leader, who had his back to them, was trembling and led everyone to the bedroom door and opened it.
"call……"
Hearing a sigh of relief, the frightened gang leader slumped against the door frame and sat down.
In the bedroom, the girl who was tied up with ropes and gagged was lying on the blanket in front of the fireplace, safe and sound.
"Uncle Clais, please take her back to the carriage." The girl said to her father's guard captain, then turned and left the tavern.
"Follow the eldest lady's instructions."
Baron Reeves lowered his eyes and looked at the leader: "Go to my mansion to ask for compensation for the stolen property and loss of manpower."
"How dare I... since she belongs to the Baron..." the leader said flatteringly, but Viscount Reeves had already left the tavern with his daughter.
The thief girl only had some bruises and marks caused by binding. When she learned that the church asked them to save her, she was so shocked that she could not speak.
After the girl knew that the girl was being stolen to save Olivia's child, she asked the guards to take her to Olivia's place.
"You have completed what the guy in the church told you to do. It's time to go find him." Viscount Reeves said, finally no longer calling Lu Li a liar.
The girl shook her head slightly.
"There's one more."
…
The plan to lure Jonah Peters and then capture him was very successful. Although Jonah Peters betrayed his biological brother, he still appeared at the gallows and was caught by the long-awaited police officers.
The girl went to see Al Peters first. With the guarantee of Viscount Reeves and the arrest of the real murderer, his suspicion has been cleared. He is still staying at the police station simply because he wants to see his brother again.
Just like what Lu Li once said to Jonah Peters, the girl told Al Peters that he was wrong and that he should be punished if he did something wrong. Taking the blame for his brother will only make more innocent people become
Victims, the so-called brotherhood will only harm more people.
Regardless of the silent Al Peters, the girl came to the cold and damp underground prison under the gratified eyes of Viscount Reeves.
Jonah Peters was clinging to a heavy bracelet and facing the corner, shaking slightly.
The policeman impatiently knocked on the iron fence a few times, but was stopped by the girl. He looked at the figure with his back to him and said gently: "Jonah."
The swaying figure behind the iron fence suddenly stopped, and Jonah's face, pale due to the cold, showed disbelief: "Mary... why are you here?"
"Because I was the one who told the police station that the murderer was you."
"How do you know...why!" Jonah's face turned ferocious, filled with anger at being betrayed by his friend.
"Because you did something wrong."
"Because of those ugly people in the world!?" As if he heard something funny, Jonah showed a slightly crazy mocking smile: "You know, everything I do is for you, to restore you to your original appearance! Have it.
You with a beautiful heart shouldn’t have this ugly face, you should be like God——”
"You don't care if I need it."
The girl interrupted Jonah, her ugly, indistinguishable cheeks were calm, and her only eye was bright and pure: "Everything you do is just to satisfy your own desires, just for yourself."
Jonah opened his mouth and froze in a frantic manner. He found that he could not refute the girl.
The girl lowered her eyes slightly and said goodbye to one of her only friends: "I hope you can regret the mistakes you made, Jonah."
The girl left the cold and dark dungeon, and the dim light from the outside world seemed like her own light, covering her thin body in a wheelchair.
When everything was settled, the girl rushed to the church accompanied by her father.
Lu Li is also waiting for the girl's arrival.
Or rather, waiting for the test to reveal its true meaning.
Although this is a pretty good story about redemption, it has flaws.
How deliberate the failure of the first five believers was, how smooth the actions of the last girl were.
If the fate of the girl is the same as that of the first five believers, her ending should be that as soon as she left the church, she was killed by Jonah, who was coming and was angry because he thought the girl had betrayed him. In the end, nothing changed.
Instead of what Lu Li saw now, the innocent were redeemed and the bad guys were punished, it was as beautiful as a fairy tale.
But no matter what, Lu Li could finally breathe a sigh of relief and no longer have to worry about the nightmare of an unknown future and wait for the coming end.
The gorgeous carriage arrived in front of the cemetery outside the church, and Baron Reeves pushed his wheelchair into the church.
The scene of the hollow wooden wall disappeared and returned to the hazy light, and their figures appeared outside the church door, shrouded in dim light.
"I have completed your instructions, can you answer a few questions for me now?" The girl looked at the figure in the confessional and asked softly.
At the same time, a line of mottos appeared on the hollow wooden wall in the confessional.
[Choice is sometimes not important]
It seemed to be answering the question in Lu Li's mind.
The girl received no response from the confessional.
The priest, who knew nothing about what happened, came to the Reeves and his daughter and asked what happened.
After receiving the answer, the priest replied blankly: "I am the only priest in the church."
[The most important thing is to stick to your choice]
The color faded away, soft white light that was not dazzling filled the field of vision again, and everything returned to the original pure white space.
A solitary confessional stands in this space.
Viscount Reeves suddenly walked to the side of the confessional and suddenly opened the wooden door——
The empty confessional room appeared in front of me.
"There's no one in there," he said.
Already left? Or...
[Hesitation will only make you swallowed by the darkness coming from behind]
The colors in the confessional gradually faded, leaving only Lu Li and the wooden chair under him in the pure white space.
"Do you remember this handwriting?"
The girl took out the pile of rough paper and suddenly stopped.
She found that it was blank, as if the content had never appeared.
[Be firm in your heart and keep walking through the thorns]
Fatigue climbed up Lu Li's back and spread into his heart, and a desire to rest arose spontaneously.
Having had an experience, Lu Li did not refuse. He leaned on the backrest of the wooden chair and closed his eyes.
The rough paper was taken away by Viscount Reeves for confirmation.
"The words disappeared..." the girl murmured, whispering.
"But you can't appear and disappear for no reason... Maybe one day in the future, you will appear again..."
[Don’t be defeated by setbacks. Arrogance will not destroy you, retreat will]
As Lu Li closed his eyes, the pure white world darkened in an instant.
Only the last words echoed in my mind.
[Please rest for a moment, the eternal existence is waiting for you to dream]
