Chapter 184

Facing the priest's cloudy gaze, Ye Huan smiled and said, "You are so confident, you will definitely be able to kill me?" ”

"It doesn't require self-confidence." The priest shook his head: "Something as simple as eating and drinking water doesn't need to be confident. ”

After that, as if remembering something, the priest sighed: "It is easy to kill you, but it is more difficult to eat and drink." It's been a long time since I've eaten a slice of meat or taken a sip of water. ”

"How old are you?" The priest asked the question suddenly.

"Twenty-five years old." Ye Huan didn't understand why the priest suddenly asked this.

"Twenty-five...... Alas, it's good to be young, the younger you are, the less you cherish life, and you will come here knowing that you will die. I'm not as good as you, and the older I get, the more I feel that life is precious. ”

Ye Huan quietly clenched his sword, the priest did not move, and Ye Huan was not in a hurry. In fact, standing in front of the priest until this moment, Ye Huan's heart was still full of fear.

Gently tapping the mask on his face, the priest said, "Do you want to know what kind of face is under this mask?" ”

Ye Huan reached out with one hand and said a word in his mouth: "Please ......"

Slowly, stretching out his palm, the priest removed the mask from his face. First the chin, then the nose, and a face slowly appeared in front of Ye Huan.

When he saw the priest's entire face, Ye Huan felt the urge to vomit. Nausea, nausea, fear...... I just feel like hell on earth, and I can't wait to escape from here immediately.

The priest has always been wearing a black robe, his hands and feet are hidden under the black robe, leaving no skin in the air, and he has always worn a mask on his face, which few people have ever seen, what the face under the mask looks like.

Today, Ye Huan saw it.

It can't be said that it's a human face!

More precisely, it cannot be called the face of a creature at all.

The whole face is black, charcoal-like black, much like the charred black left behind when firewood burns to the general level.

There is no sign of life, and you don't feel the slightest trace of being alive.

There is no skin on his face, and the flowing blood vessels can be seen directly, and the only proof that he is still alive is the eyes that are still a little bright.

Ye Huan was not a timid person, but at this moment, he trembled with fear.

"Don't be afraid." The priest shook his head and put the mask back on his face: "I am one hundred and twenty-nine years old, and you must know that when you are also one hundred and twenty-nine, you will not be much better than me. ”

"I know very well that when I am one hundred and twenty-nine years old, I will be lying in a coffin, and my ghost will not be seen." Ye Huan said directly.

"Perhaps, you're right." The priest shook his head and sat down in the church chair.

"When I was young, I was also a very handsome existence, and I didn't lose to you like now, at that time, I was even more handsome, resolute, and manly than you."

Ye Huan pursed his lips and said in his heart: Is it necessary to hit me like this! He said directly, "What do you want to say?" ”

The priest sighed and said slowly: "There are some things that I have never told anyone, and today I don't know why, I suddenly want to talk to you, anyway, you will become a part of my life." ”

Ye Huan snorted coldly, noncommittal.

"I was born in 1980, fought in two world wars, and was a medic in the army. You have to believe that I saved more people back then than you kill now. ”

Ye Huan remembered the photo of the soldier he saw in the secret room of the castle.

If that picture is the original of the priest, it is undeniable that he is indeed handsome.

It's just that Ye Huan doesn't know how the handsome and resolute German soldier back then became the half-human priest today.

I only heard the priest sit there and slowly speak: "When I participated in the Second World War, I was fifty years old, and I had won numerous medals, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I was a combat hero admired by everyone. ”

The priest looked up, as if recalling the glory of the past.

"I lived to be fifty years old, and I never knew I was an alien. The turning point came when I was fifty-five years old. On that occasion, our troops were caught in the encirclement of the enemy, and bombs rained frantically on the positions, and we were completely annihilated. Even I, with a bullet in the heart, collapsed in the rubble. ”

"For a long time afterwards, I thought how I wished my life would end at that moment."

The priest shook his head, his hands clenched with some excitement.

"But, no. I collapsed in the rubble, the smell of blood and gunfire in the air. A bullet was hit in the heart, and the bullet pierced through. I was a good medic and I knew that with my injuries, there was absolutely no way I would survive. ”

"As I lay on my position, my eyes staring at the smoky sky, I knew that death would soon befall me."

"At the end of my life, I look back on the 50 years of my life. I have been honored, I have pursued my dreams, I have hugged my beloved, and I have killed my enemies with my own hands......"

"I'm very satisfied, of course there are regrets in life, but regrets are part of life, and I don't feel like that."

"I just lay there quietly, waiting for death to take my life."

"I waited a long time, the sky went from day to night, and darkness hung over my head."

"However, I am not dead yet, and I still remain sober." The priest shook his head: "At that time, I thought, am I still able to save it." ”

"Puff......" Ye Huan laughed subconsciously.

The priest glared at him fiercely, Ye Huan consciously sneered, waved his hand awkwardly, and said, "You continue, you continue." ”

The priest snorted coldly, and then began to continue to reminisce about the past.

"With my injuries, I have absolutely no chance of living, and I know this very well. I was lying on the ground for a long time, but the pain in my body was not so important anymore. The only thing I find unbearable is thirst......"

"The battle had been going on for a long time before I lost it, and I don't remember how long it had been without a drop of water in my throat. The body was like being roasted dry, and the throat was burning uncomfortably. ”

"At that time, if someone could give me a drop of water, it would be more precious than all the treasures in the world combined."

"Giggle......" Father Priest burst into a meaningful laugh, and continued, "But at that time, there was no water, there was only ...... Blood ......"

Suddenly, Ye Huan felt a layer of cold sweat oozing from his back, and even his spine began to chill, and he had a premonition that something terrible was about to happen.

The priest continued: "There are countless corpses around, they have just died, and they are bloody...... It's still lukewarm. ”

Ye Huan's body was already trembling unconsciously, and he didn't want the priest to continue.

"Do you know what blood smells like?" The priest suddenly raised his head and looked at Ye Huan.

Ye Huan subconsciously took a step back, leaned on the church bench, and shook his head.

"Believe me, it doesn't taste good, it's sticky, it stinks, and when you drink it, it's like glue sticking to your throat," the priest said: "The first person I chose was my assistant Ino, a very handsome young man, who adored me very much, and at a young age, he was pierced through his left lung by shrapnel...... Blood was pouring out of his chest, and when it was dried by the air, it was black. ”

"I tore his wounds anew, put my hands in his lungs, and dug out fresh blood. When I did all this, I thought I would be as scared as you are now, but no, my mood was calm, faint, and there was a feeling that I had never experienced before, permeating my body. ”

"It's a good feeling...... When you see them as your own kind, you feel intimidated, but when you see them as food, you only think about whether they taste good or not. ”

"Humans consume countless pork, beef, and fish every day, but I never felt guilty, and at that time, I felt the same way."

"Ino's blood, it's delicious."

At this moment, what Ye Huan felt was already terrifying. But the priest continued to speak.

"Relying on his blood, I quenched my thirst and continued to lie on the ground, waiting for death to come. I lay down for about two days, and the blood can stop me from being thirsty, but my stomach will still feel hungry......"

"Since I've drunk blood, it's okay to eat some meat, anyway, I only have a few days to live, I died on the battlefield fighting the enemy, before leaving, I just want to be comfortable, these, there's nothing."

looked at Ye Huan, as if waiting for his answer.

Ye Huan didn't know how to answer the priest's question, he felt that a normal person would not try human flesh even if he was hungry. The priest can do this without hesitation, proving that the devilish side of his heart has been awakened.

In Ye Huan's mind, he couldn't help but have a scene, he was also in a trance on the battlefield full of gunsmoke, there were countless corpses on the ground, limbs and heads could not be connected, piles of rotten meat......

Then, in the night, a soldier in military uniform, looking for his own food on the ground, which was more delicious and tasty, and when he found a favorite target, he began to fill his body with the blood and flesh of his kind.

Ye Huan leaned on the bench, feeling a fear of wanting to vomit.

I don't know if the priest didn't say these things to anyone else. At this moment, once he spoke, he couldn't stop talking.

"I have lived a long, long time with this...... It's about ten days. I felt that my body was gradually regaining its strength, and the wound in my heart seemed to be healing, and I felt that it was beating again. ”

"At that time, I suddenly remembered an extremely terrible thing. I always thought that I would die soon, so I didn't mind eating meat and drinking blood, and if I didn't die, then a person who survived on the blood and flesh of his comrades was a combat hero or a devil? ”
