Smoking blackened wood was stacked up and down, mixed with some unidentifiable twisted remains that were melted together by the flames. In such a large village, we didn’t see a complete building since we entered, and it seemed that the entire
The village was engulfed in flames. The simple gravel road was covered with miscellaneous things, and there were many suspicious black marks. It was self-evident.
"What on earth is going on? Why do you let me see this kind of scene?"
Bai Yanghua's voice was trembling, and she leaned on me so hard that she almost pushed me down.
"Don't be afraid of Yanghua. It's normal for the world to see this kind of thing. That's why the world needs us to save it."
"Then hurry up and save them! Those people who were burned to charcoal...are they human?"
"That's right, men, women, old people, children, cats and dogs, all will be burned to charcoal."
Sister Saiyi did something very disgusting while she was talking. She reached out and wiped a handful of the black mark on the ground! You didn’t have to guess that it was blood, and you couldn’t even hide it. She actually took the initiative to touch it?
"Sister Saiyi, let's resuscitate them quickly! Can we resuscitate them!"
Baiyanghua was so frightened that she almost cried. This kind-hearted ordinary girl couldn't bear such a scene. Hey, she should have gone to the Dream City to get used to the amazing world, but it was really difficult for her to come directly to such a scary place.
"So what if we save them? They will immediately be infected with the plague and die painfully again. Do you want them to die twice?"
Sister Sai said without mercy.
"Then wouldn't it be great if we just wipe out the plague!"
"Then you do this."
"How could I possibly do it!"
"Then don't say such things again."
"..."
Bai Yanghua hugged my arm tightly, bit her lip and turned away. I felt that she might have had a big misunderstanding of our goddess, and maybe she would even resent Sister Sai Yi for this.
"Amy, control this child, the next scene will be even more terrifying."
Sister Sai casually broke off an unburnt pillar, blew on it and lit it as a torch.
"Okay, I'll hold on to her."
I nodded while patting Yanghua's shoulder.
This village is very large, almost a small town by ancient standards. We walked around several ruins and came to the square in the middle of the village. In the square... there were mountains of charred debris piled up in the square, and the surrounding area was in chaos.
Black blood stains were all over the ground. The nearby buildings were burned most thoroughly, leaving almost only a pile of ashes, not even ruins. The system prompted that the air was filled with a strong burning smell, even with weak purification techniques.
You can smell it a little bit. It's obvious that someone gathered all the people in the village here, killed them in batches, and then piled them together and burned them, just like they did with the infected chickens and ducks on Earth.
"..."
Baiyanghua pressed her face against my chest, not daring to look at such a scene. She was shaking so hard that I had to give her the Serenity Technique to suppress her emotions.
"Sister Saiyi, is this the world's way to control the epidemic?"
Although I have seen more disgusting things, this horrific scene still deeply shocked me. There are estimated to be three to four hundred people in this pile of remains. I have never seen so many dead people, and in such a way.
A tragic death.
"Yes. In the absence of effective treatment, the only thing people here can do is to completely eliminate the source of infection. It is very cruel and inhumane, but it is a last resort. This is the original sin caused by weakness, pitiful and pathetic."
Sister Sai waved her hand, and the pile of still-warm remains burned again. But this time, it was the white holy light flame that burned, and the black coke quickly turned into green smoke in the flames and dispersed in the air.
Leave no residue behind.
"Is this trying to transcend them..."
Baiyanghua glanced timidly.
"That's right, I'll let their souls return to the world. After these troubles are solved, we will call them back and give them a clean new world."
"oh……"
I don’t know if she understood or not, but she stuffed her head firmly into my chest again. The nun’s uniform was very tight, and it would restrict me even if I had an extremely curvy figure, so Yanghua’s action of burying her head caused me to be
It was extremely painful.
"Sister Saiyi, where are the people who carried out this task? Won't they be infected by the plague?"
"of course."
Sister Sai did not answer in detail, but continued to lead us forward, towards the only intact building in the village. It seemed to be a small church, and the stone structure prevented it from completely collapsing in the fire. I started
I feel confused because I have never heard of burning down churches to eliminate the plague. In a world similar to the Middle Ages, aren't churches generally there to benefit themselves at the expense of others?
"They are regarded as the messengers of hell, and plagues will occur wherever they go. They are heinous, killing innocent people, turning villages and towns into ruins. They are the minions of the church, the lackeys of the king, and the accomplices of the nobles. They are
The embodiment of evil and disaster, the messenger of death reaping life."
"Ah? Sister Saiyi, what did you say?"
"But in fact, they are no different from these tragic deaths. They are all victims of this plague."
Sister Sai walked to the charred door of the church, stretched out her hand and pushed it gently. The carbonized door panel immediately shattered into slag, revealing the scene inside the church in front of us.
"Yeah~~~~~!!!"
Bai Yanghua, who was looking for death, screamed.
A large hole was burned out in the roof of the church. The blood-red moonlight shone through the hole into the church, shining like a spotlight on the circle of charred remains in the hall, showing a strange beauty. The remains were neatly surrounded
There are three concentric circles, and each corpse has a partially melted sword inserted into it. In the center of the concentric circles, there is something like a statue of a god, but the flames have changed it beyond recognition, making it completely invisible.
Not the same as before.
"Doctors cannot heal themselves, and executioners are just prisoners with suspended sentences. Those seemingly terrifying and abominable armors and masks cannot stop the plague. The last innocent person they need to execute is themselves."
Sister Sai picked up a twisted ball of metal from the ground. The metal ball could be vaguely seen as a mask, similar to the beaked doctor's mask in the Middle Ages. However, this mask should not be shaped like a bird's beak, but resemble a pig's nose.
Cylindrical shape.
"These people...are...the ones who killed the villagers?"
Bai Yanghua looked shocked, and her lips trembled violently when she spoke.
"Yes, they are just ordinary mortals who will also be infected with the plague. In order to prevent the plague from continuing to spread, the last killing they have to do in their lives is to kill themselves."
Sister Sai squeezed the twisted metal into a ball and let it burn up in the dazzling holy light.
"This world is really dark. It seems that this mission is very difficult~~~"
Looking at those dark remains, I sighed deeply. Bai Yanghua, who was shrinking in my arms, forgot her fear at this moment, her eyes flickered and she didn't know what she was thinking.
