Chapter 118··· The secret of holiness
The nearest resting place is, of course, a small village down the hill.
The fighting has ended, and the villagers who were hiding in their houses have come out one after another, some organizing everyone to extinguish the fire and save people from the crumbling rubble, and some hugging their dead relatives and crying bitterly.
The crackling of the burning planks, the shouts of the people, the evaporation of the water vapor as the fire is extinguished, and the cries of children and women are intertwined without rhythm and tear at people's nerves.
When Kuros and his party walked into the village, all the voices seemed to disappear for that moment, and the villagers looked at them as if they were looking at something other than human.
Kuros and the others came to the courtyard of Meiling's family, and Meiling's grandfather was still lying on the ground, already out of breath.
Meiling cried and threw herself on her grandfather.
"That's it, find a bed and put that kid down. Others went to find something to eat. Kuros sat on a stone bench in the courtyard with a big grin.
At this time, he was still in the mood to eat, and Kanda complained silently in his heart.
Others, however, were very supportive of the proposal.
The Black Thorns went to find something to eat, but Link and Kanda stayed, and they both had a lot of questions to ask.
But Kuros kept a straight face and didn't speak, and they had to endure it.
In the courtyard, only Meiling's cry could be heard.
And so the minutes passed.
"Marshal Kuros" Link stepped forward.
"Men stay away from me, it's dirty and smelly." Kuros smoked a cigarette.
is really worthy of being a master and apprentice, and Li Xianhua has a virtue
Link took a few steps back with unpleasantness: "I have a few questions"
Kuros had already turned around and entered the house. Before leaving, he also told Link: "Let her stop crying, if she cries again, her body will collapse." ”
"How am I going to stop her!" Link looked at Kanda, who also entered the house with the Six Illusions in his arms.
"I'm sorry." Link smacked Meiling with a knife in his hand.
In the room, Li Xianhua was lying on the bed, and Aryadi was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at him.
Kuros smoked a cigarette and stared at his unconscious disciple.
Kanda also entered the house and sat by the door, watching the crowd walking around the gate.
Link, who came with Meiling in his arms and followed up at the end, secretly blamed himself: his task was to protect Li Xianhua, and he actually let a demon stay by his side just now! This is a great dereliction of duty.
However, this demon is really an outlier among demons, and he would sacrifice his life to protect the exorcist, and Link was also surprised in his heart.
Li Xianhua, no, there are always surprising things happening around Lord Xianhua.
Kuros was silent, and the others, sensing his mood, also stopped talking.
"Woman," Kuros began, "you were there when my disciple was attacked by the cardinal, right?" ”
"Yes"
"Tell me the process, be more detailed."
So Aryadi began to recount the events of that day.
Link was fine, he already knew a lot of things. Kanda, who pricked up his ears at the door, was not so calm.
Cardinal attacks Li Xianhua? Holy rampage? Li Xianhua kills?
Everything is a subversion of the three views of the exorcist, right?
It turned out that on that day, Li Xianhua's mental insanity was not my delusion!
No wonder this guy keeps it a secret from me all along! Was holiness such a dangerous thing in the first place? What an idiot!
However, if you change yourself, I'm afraid you will make the same choice, right?
We're the same people! Kanda took a sip.
During the long story, during which the Black Thorn also returned, and Kuros listened to Aryadi while eating his food, and could see that he was indeed very hungry, and it seemed that he had traveled a long way.
"I'm sorry, Instantaneous. I should have been ahead of the curve. Kuros said.
The laws of holy evolution are known to Kuros.
Ordinary, crystalline, complete - this is the normal evolutionary trajectory of holiness.
With each step, the power increases, but the exorcist's self-consciousness is also affected deeper until it is consumed by holiness.
In fact, it is no different from the genes in Noah's family, the difference is that holiness is equipment, and there are more people who can be selected, unlike Noah, who has only 12 people at most.
Kuros had been paying attention to Li Xianhua's state, but he ignored one thing: Li Xianhua directly reached 100% synchronization rate from crystalline holiness.
Li Xianhua's strength grew much faster than that of ordinary exorcists, and it was also more unstable.
"Damn Fourteen, you didn't tell me such important information!" Kuros cursed angrily.
Fourteen? Who's that? Link was thoughtful, and Kanda had a question mark in his heart.
The noise from the courtyard broke the solemn atmosphere in the house.
It was a group of villagers.
The old village chief died, and the village was leaderless, and after most of the night, the fire was finally extinguished and the homeless companions were housed.
After being idle, they finally have time to find out who is responsible.
Someone revealed that those murderous demons came for Meiling's crystal ball; Someone responded and said that they saw Li Xianhua and Link killing people in the village
"So, you want us to leave?" Kuros smirked.
"Yes, yes!" The villagers led by him trembled, and with the support of those behind them, they mustered up the courage to reply to Kuros.
"Well, I'm full, let's go." Kuros calmly got up and walked out.
Kuros's attitude surprised the villagers, they didn't expect this scary-looking man to be so easy to talk to.
Kanda and the others were not surprised. The exorcists in the house have been treated like this to a greater or lesser extent, and they have long been accustomed to it.
The only little witch Meiling who may feel sad is still in a coma.
The group carried Li Xianhua and Meiling on their backs and slowly walked outside the village.
"Seeing that they are in a hurry to leave, they are really empty-hearted!" Someone in the villagers whispered.
"Killed so many of us, and just walked away."
Kuros, who was at the front, turned around and glanced at the chattering crowd, and the conversation suddenly stopped abruptly, and people were like chickens choked by the neck.
"Actually, it's not bad to give you to Instant Hua as a tonic," Kuros whispered, not looking at the villagers again.
It wasn't until Kuros and the others gradually moved away that the villagers began to talk again.
"Master Kuros, Lord Instantaneous's injury" Link was a little worried, and Li Instantaneous was still unconscious.
"Ah, don't worry, he's just losing too much blood, just find a place to give him a blood transfusion." Kuros wasn't nervous at all.
"Excessive blood loss?"
"In a state manipulated by holiness, his attacks consume blood."
"I see! I don't know the blood type of Lord Instant."
"It doesn't matter," Kuros's smile suddenly disappeared, and his tone became a little solemn, "For him now, blood is just nourishment, and it can be demon blood. ”
