Chapter 1 The Gate of Desire Section 85 The vulture in the cemetery

In the Demon City of Desire, as long as you have enough magic crystals, you have everything, health, longevity, loyalty, chastity, love, relatives, rights, honors, all the beauty of the world, and even the right to enter heaven.

In short, in this demon capital where desires are boiling, it is so easy to get a wonderful life. Of course, losing them is often only a matter of moments.

In the northern 10th district of the Demon Capital of Desire, there is a desolate cemetery, and if you are buried in the crypt here, everything you once had will be a dream.

At the end of the winter of the 51420 year of the Taiyi calendar, in the cemetery that means failure, on the stone path leading to a tomb, a group of demons gathered here for burial. There were more than 200 of them, and there were more than a dozen demons dressed in mourning black clothes at the forefront, walking solemnly. A tearful demon girl was caught in their ranks. She carried the heavy cross on her back, struggled to move, and tied an iron rope around her waist, behind which dragged a heavy sarcophagus.

The demon girl with the cross on her back and dragging the sarcophagus was called Antneyetta, only fourteen years old, she had a white face, big green eyes and chestnut hair, she was the daughter of the deceased.

The deceased lying in the sarcophagus was a pure-blooded demon named Kermit Abrot. He once had a great fortune and was as rich as the rest of the country, but he went bankrupt, left behind untold debts, and committed suicide. Not only that, but even his death became an even greater evil.

All demons know that the reason why demons were born in this world is because they are guilty, so they have to go through all the suffering in the world and wash away their sins, only then when death comes, the Holy Spirit will forgive their original sins and contain their souls to return to heaven.

Kermit Abrot sought death by suicide before his sins were washed away, which is a blasphemy against forgiveness and a blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, so his sin is so great that his soul will be sent to hell and tormented forever, and his children and loved ones will be hated by the Holy Mother.

Whatever is hated by Mother Holy Spirit, all demons will despise it, spit on it, and destroy it. Therefore, no demon in the cemetery will help Antneyetta, no one will pity her, and no demon will marry her in the future, because she is the daughter of a suicide who blasphemed Mother Spirit.

Antenieta's future seems sealed, but at the moment she is still struggling. If she could carry the cross on her back, drag the sarcophagus from church to the cemetery, and confess to the Holy Spirit step by step, then the Holy Spirit would forgive her father and her sins.

There are still less than 100 meters to dig the tomb, but the distance is as far as the road to heaven. Antanietta was drenched in sweat, her legs and hands were shaking, and the corners of her mouth were spilling bloodshots, she was a demon, so her blood was bright blue.

Antene felt her chest burn as if it had been burned by fire, and she coughed, spurting out a mouthful of blood.

Antenieta knelt on her trembling body to the ground, the cross on her back two meters long and heavy as a hill. As Antenieetta bent down, she leaned forward and almost fell, but she finally steadied herself and knelt down and kowtowed, leaving a pool of bright blue blood on the hard stone path.

Antenieetta raised her head and glanced at the tomb in front of her, she tried her best to support herself, but the cross on her back was so heavy that Antenieta's arms and legs were shaking, and her strength had already been exhausted all the way to this point.

The demons who were watching were all gloomy, and a girl who wanted to atone for her father's sins was about to be crushed to death by a cross on the way to the tomb, which was also a miserable thing in the eyes of the demons. The demons on the lookers whispered, but no one came to stop her, because it was also disrespectful to the Holy Spirit to destroy such an atonement.

Time seemed to freeze, and the cemetery was silent, except for Antenieta's gasping for breath and coughing up blood.

Some of the demons were already crying, others were stern, and a tall and thin demon gentleman walked briskly beside Antenieta, a subtle sneer crossed the corner of his mouth. He was Antneyetta's uncle, named Ike Abrot, and now he was the head of the Abrot family, and the funeral of the previous head of the clan was naturally presided over by him.

A young demon from the Abrot family took a step forward to hold Antneyetta, but Ike Abrot shouted at him. Antenieta smiled back at the voice of Ike Ablo, her eyes full of pleading.

Ike Abrot stepped forward with a cruel expression and held the crucifix with one hand.

He lowered his voice and said fiercely, "What did your father say before he died? Did he leave you the Vortex Ocean Map? hand it over, or you know what will happen to you." ”

Antenieta cried, "Uncle, I don't know anything, I really don't know anything. Why do you hate me so much? You have killed my father, please spare me!"

Antenieta's cry was bitter and mournful, but loud enough that every demon in the cemetery could hear her words clearly. Even Unchi and Farouge, who were hiding outside the cemetery, heard Antneyetta's complaints.

Ike Abrot's face turned pale for a moment, and he snorted coldly, letting go of the hand holding the cross, and gave his niece a heavy slap. Antene Netta screamed, her legs weakened, and her body fell forward weakly, like a snow-capped mountain about to be toppled, an orchid about to be crushed.

Through the gap in the bushes, Unch and Farug clenched their fists when they saw this, but they couldn't help.

Just as Antenieta was about to be crushed to death by the fallen cross, an old but powerful arm held her body firm. That arm belonged to a moneylender who looked vicious, vicious as a vulture.

The vulture-like old man turned his gaze at Ike Abrot and said mockingly, "Mr. Ike, oh no, I should call him the head of the Ike family." If you want to kill your niece, should we settle an old account with her first?or, if you kill her, we should put all the debts of the Ziyunlan Chamber of Commerce on you?"

Facing this old man, Ike Abrot couldn't help but shudder, and Nono didn't dare to speak. But there was an orange glimmer at the center of his eyebrows, and an angry voice seemed to come from the sky: "Old thing, do you want to spoil my business?" Ziyunlan Chamber of Commerce and the Vortex Ocean Map are my prey, I don't want you to interfere." ”

The old man sneered, but did not answer, he pointed to the center of Ike Abrot's eyebrows, and a piece of heart control stone hidden under his brow bone shattered into powder. The orange glimmer vanished, and Ike Abrot stood on the spot with his eyes blank, and suddenly he broke down and wept, hugged Antneyetta and the cross tied behind her, and yelled like a madman.

However, the old man who had shattered the Heart-Controlling Diamond kicked him over, turned around and sneered at the Abrot family, "Your master has lost his mind, so send him to the temple to confess." Since you Abrot family don't want to bear the debts of the Ziyun Lan Chamber of Commerce, let me get out of here!"

The people of House Abrot snatched the new head of the house, who had fallen to the ground unconscious, and fled. Looking at their embarrassed appearance, the onlookers all whispered. In their opinion, it is despicable that the Abrot family wants to murder the daughter of the former head of the family at the funeral as a way to escape the huge debt.

However, the demons who came to the funeral were not only members of the Abrot family and those idle spectators, but also creditors who watched the show coldly. The creditors gathered around them quickly, dragging them sideways and vertically, and tying poor Miss Antenieetta with ropes. They dragged her by the hair and forced her to kneel in front of the old man.

Most of Antneyetta's creditors are moneylenders in the Demon Capital Desire, and they used various methods to acquire the debts of the Ziyunlan Chamber of Commerce at a low price.

Even in the eyes of demons, these guys are complete demons. They wander like vultures in the Demon City of Desire, focusing on finding gamblers, down-and-out aristocrats, playboys, speculative businessmen, canaries caught in the trap of love, high-ranking dignitaries who are hard to sell, and unlucky people on the verge of bankruptcy.

They will lend them the magic crystal, and then extract a high interest rate of several times the principal. These moneylenders have countless ways to ensure that the demons who owe debts will pay back the money on time. But once in a while, they miscalculate, and then the money lenders become extraordinarily cold and brutal.

The old man who knocked Ike Abrot unconscious was obviously the backbone of this group of moneylenders, and he sat cross-legged on the sarcophagus, which contained the corpse of the demon Kermit Abrot, and apparently he didn't care about sitting his ass on the corpse of the deceased.

"Miss Antenieta," said the old man contemptuously, "a rich lady like you must not know me. My name is Candida, and they all call me Vulture Turtle. I heard that you survived the fog of the sea of fog and became a banshee. We, the righteous saints, all have some interest in the body of the banshee. There is a way to pay off debts with money, and we have to collect debts now, so you shouldn't have anything to say, right?"

The naked threat of money and debt repayment is as terrifying as a nightmare for every girl. But this vicious threat sometimes fails, because the girl who was threatened didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at all.

Antenieta raised her head suspiciously, and her eyes were full of blank and asked: "Money and debts, do you want to kill me and eat my flesh?"

Candida, the vulture father, almost laughed at Antenieta's words, and he reached out with a withered hand, hooked Antenieta's jaw, and dragged her between his two strands. Antenieetta struggled in fear, and Candida stared into her eyes, and he could see that she was afraid, trembling, begging. Candida believes that as long as the pressure continues, this frightened little girl will definitely confess the whereabouts of "Vortex Ocean Map".
