Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Chant
"You can't kill him!"
Eradicating evil is the idea that the Holy Kingdom has always adhered to, because evil is like the wild grass on the grassland, and wildfire may be able to make no grass grow everywhere you look. But the moment you turn around, you may not even notice that under the surface of the earth, which is covered by the ashes of the burning grass and trees, there is a majestic vitality that is breaking through the soil again at a speed you can't imagine.
Neither the cold nor the flames can stop life from pursuing the power of the sun, unless you dig them all up, light them, burn them, and bury them!
Therefore, when the Holy Kingdom drew its sword and killed the first bandit, it was doomed that this group of bandits would not end well. In the cave, when he had cleared most of the bandits, and when his long knife was pointed at a young, only thirty-year-old bandit, a woman with a disheveled hair protected him behind him like crazy, and looked at the holy kingdom with a pleading and earnest gaze, looking at this child who was at least a dozen years younger than her, and said the words, "You can't kill him!" ”
Judging by the clothes on this woman's body, she doesn't look like she's in the gang with bandits. Her hair looked like it hadn't been taken care of in a while, eroded by stains and grease that had clumped it together. There was also a lot of dirt on her face, one black and one white, like a Dalmatian rolling in the ashes. Although the style of the clothes she wore was new last year, the large amount of wear and tear, as well as several patches and broken corners, made the outfit look very old.
She wore a pair of cloth shoes, and if she was in a gang with the bandits, she should wear leather shoes, after all, when the weather gets colder, leather shoes can protect her feet from frostbite from low temperatures more than cloth shoes.
Shengguo also discovered some details, although her hair was clumped, each strand of hair looked very "thick" and jet-black. It is not malnourished like ordinary bandits or those who have been captive by bandits. Although her face was dirty, her fair complexion and delicate texture could be seen in some of the scratches. Her clothes were very shabby, but at least they were good enough to cover her body, and underneath them was a layer of cotton.
Coupled with her slightly bulging belly, the Holy Kingdom quickly guessed the identity of this woman, of course, he still had to ask, "Were you captured by this group of bandits?" Sister? ”
The woman nodded hesitantly, she didn't know if she wanted to use her story to impress the Holy Kingdom, anyway, she pinned her hopes on her story, she told her story.
In the middle of last year, she and her family passed a short official road and planned to move to another urban area. They hired some guards, not long after the end of the war, in order to stabilize the local law and order, the government and the ninja village frequently cracked down on bandits and robbers in the wilderness, and in a short period of time, they did ensure the smooth and safe passage of the official road. But nothing in this world is absolute, and they were attacked by bandits.
Her parents were killed in the attack, and the guards were also killed after resisting, leaving her alone alive in the convoy. She was taken captive to a bandit's lair, and after a period of life-worse treatment, she was rescued. The person who saved her was the young bandit behind her, whether the thief was obsessed with her beauty or her body, and of course it was possible that true love was born, in short, he pulled her out of hell.
She became his "wife", was not blessed by her family, was not recognized by the government, and became pregnant in the middle of this year. The man gave her everything he could give to the woman, safety, food, a certain freedom and no more coercion and torture. She is in love with him, and only those who are in hell know that whether it is an angel or a devil who pulls you out of hell, he/she/it will be the one you love.
They live like husband and wife, he is no longer a persecutor, she is not a victim, to put it bluntly, it is typical Stockholm syndrome.
When she saw that her "husband" might also become a "wronged soul" under the knife, she stood up, holding her stomach, and looked like it had been for several months. Without the slightest fear, she stood in front of the young bandit, like a ...... Like a fighter, he guards what he holds dear.
"I was captured by the bandits, but it was because of his protection that I was not harmed, so I beg you, don't hurt him." , The woman's eyes were very firm, "He's a good person!" ”
Shengguo glanced at the man behind the woman who had already lost his soul in fright, his eyes never changed much, his gaze shifted to the woman's body again, and finally landed on her stomach, "What about the new life, it's really good, speaking of which, my mother has recently given birth to a new life." ”
Hearing the Holy Kingdom say this, the tension on the faces of the men and women suddenly disappeared, although they didn't know what the origin of this guy who had the appearance of a child but had the essence of a demon, but it was a good thing to be able to communicate. Communication means that it can be resolved peacefully, especially when they do not have the deterrence of force, and communication is the most important thing.
"What is conceived by the divine is sacred, and what is conceived by evil can only be evil. When your child is born, he will learn something simple but not true with his father, his mother, and everyone here. He will think that plunder is right, he will think that killing is justified, and he will worship his father because his father will get everything he needs for him by killing innocent pedestrians. ”
"He would also adore his mother, because he would persuade the poor who would not want to join the cause he thought was right, and by leading by instilling some ideas in the captives the losers, so that they would go from rebellion to acquiescence."
"He will inherit these things, and inherit your sins, because in His eyes it is righteousness and righteousness."
The Holy Kingdom's eyelids gradually drooped, and he slowly walked towards the bandits not far away, "I am not a messenger of justice, I can only represent myself. The world is full of so many suffocating things, you can't see it, right? You can't hear the corpses of innocent people with blood and tears flowing under your feet, can you? The cry of the wandering soul who haunts the surroundings and cries day and night about their miserable fate! ”
"Rest in peace!"
I can barely see him draw his knife, his hand seems to be pressed on the hilt of the knife forever, and his knife seems to be stuck in the scabbard forever, but I don't know why, where he passed, blood flowers bloomed, something faintly sang, and the crisp and clear singing voice was like a hymn sung by a choir in Western Catholicism, giving people a feeling of being cleansed.
Bandits –
Annihilation!
