Chapter 35: Ruthless
Wen Aya saw Bai Muzhen's intoxicated look, and she really didn't understand why he suddenly became self-intoxicated, but she didn't want to ask. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 She just smiled, then turned her eyes, looked at the adult and said, "Actually, I am also curious about when your so-called Divine Mother began to gouge out your eyes, and why did you not organize to resist or surround her?
The adult thought for a moment, and said in a sad and helpless tone: "How could there be no resistance? Four years ago, I remember that when the eyes of the first person in the town were gouged out, it was in the middle of the night, and the scream woke up the whole town. I jumped out of bed, got dressed, and led the servants and townsfolk straight to the scream. When we walked up to the man, we saw that he was rolling on the ground in pain, and his face, hands, clothes, and floor were covered with blood, and the blood was splashed all over the room, and under the light, it was as bright as a flower, and it was dazzling. All of us couldn't help but gasp when we saw it.
When I saw it, I was very angry, and I thought to myself, how could such a bloody and cruel thing have happened in this town within my jurisdiction? Who was so cruel that he gouged out one of a person's eyes alive? I immediately arranged for the officers to track down the murderer, but after the murderer gouged out the person's eye, he left no clue or trace. We searched for a day and a night, and we didn't find any clues, just when we were exhausted and wanted to rest and prepare to continue the search the next day. In the night sky, another scream suddenly sounded. This scream is so sharp, so painful, so terrible, that we can't help but tremble from the bottom of our hearts when we hear it. That scream still makes my heart palpitate to this day......"
The adult sighed helplessly when he said this, his sharp eyes had become sad, and the expression on his face was sad and painful, but more bitter and helpless.
Wen Aya and the four of them watched and listened, and they couldn't help but feel sad together. The shopkeeper and the blind-eyed people around him also looked sad and infinitely desperate when they heard this.
The lord sighed and said, "When the servants and I heard the screams, our hearts were scared and trembling, but we immediately went straight to the screams. As a result, the tragic admiration of the first night reappeared in front of our eyes. I felt only the cold of my heart dripping with blood, and the pain of my bones shattering. My eyes were red, my arrogance was at its peak, and I had never been so angry and miserable. I swear that I will not catch the murderer, and I will not be a man!
So, we stayed up all day, got together two people who had been gouged out their eyes, and asked questions in detail. Ask them if they have ever seen the eye-gouging out, if they have a grudge against the eye-gouging out, if they have inadvertently offended the eye-gouging man, or if they have ever discovered the ulterior secret of the eye-gouging out? However, both of them said in unison that they had not seen what the eye-gouging man looked like, let alone what hatred they had with the eye-gouging man, so how could they know what the eye-gouging had and what ulterior secrets the eye-gouging man had? I asked and checked for a day, but there was still no clue. It wasn't until the dead of night that my mind and body were so tired that I was about to lie down when suddenly a scream rang out over the town.
Listening to the scream, I fell off my stool. My feet were softening, my heart was trembling, and I knew that there was another man in the town who had had one of his eyes gouged out!
When I and the servants reached the place where the screams were made, many townspeople had gathered. By this time, the townspeople had begun to panic, and they were talking about the horror and mystery of the matter as they panicked. They said, "There must be a ghost at work, otherwise, who in the world would gouge out someone's eye? And just one?"
I immediately stopped these people, and I told them to stop spreading rumors. I told them that it must have been man-made, but we had not caught him, and that if he did, I would make him repent in front of everyone, and pluck out his eyes to avenge the loss of one of his eyes. With my reassurance, the townsfolk began to calm down their panic and slowly went home to sleep.
However, what I didn't expect was that for seven nights in a row, there would be people's eyes gouged out every night. None of the people whose eyes were gouged out were related, and no matter how we traced them, we just couldn't find a clue. Unable to find clues, it is impossible to know what the motives of the eye-gouging are, and at this point, the townspeople begin to pack up their belongings and flee, fearing that if they stay in the town, their eyes will be gouged out. However, when these people left the town, they were killed, and then the bodies were returned!"
Wen Aya couldn't help but slap the table and stand up when she heard this, and said angrily: "This woman is really vicious, she not only wants to gouge out people's eyes, but also kills people! Such a vicious woman, I Wen Aya swear to bind her to the law!" she said and gasped loudly, which calmed down the anger in her heart.
"Isn't it? The lord replied, and sighed, "Alas, this man's cruel heart is rare in the world! At that time, whenever anyone wanted to leave the town, whether it was a man or a woman, or a child, she would kill people! Not only did she kill people, but she also gouged out one of their eyes every night." No one can guess whose eyes she gouges out every night. We've tried to get together all over the town and try to contain her, and as soon as she comes out, we've rushed up and grabbed her. But she was very clever, and knew that we were gathered together, so she did not come out, but hid in the shadows, and whenever she saw someone leaving to solve the three emergencies, she would follow them and gouge out their eyes. In short, this man is a man who is completely elusive. No matter what we do, we can't force her to show up, let alone catch her. Of course, no matter how much we hide, someone will always have one eye gouged out every night!
Finally, one day, perhaps she had killed too many people, and her conscience was tormented, so she sent a messenger to leave me a message, telling us not to think about leaving the town. As long as we don't leave town, she won't kill us. All she wants is our eyes, and one by one, until all our eyes are gone!
And so day after day, all at once, a year passed. During this year, the people of our town did not dare to go out, and none of the people from outside the town were caught by us and given to the Mother of God, in exchange for the pain of our eyes being gouged out one day later. We know that this is not tolerated, but we all have a selfish heart, and it is no wonder that we are cruel and ruthless......"
"Alright!" Wen Aya only felt bored and disgusted when she heard this, so she interrupted the adult's words in a loud voice.
