Chapter 162: Kevin's Mind (10,000 Words for a Monthly Pass)
The clouds covered the day, but the air was warm.
A poor little village in Holbrook was now a devastated place, or so it seemed; The strong rancid smell indicates that the original inhabitants are still there, but they have lost their lives!
Rose, Wolf, and Kevin stood at the edge of the village, looking thoughtfully at the piles of wreckage and scattered debris, turned-out rocks and dirt.
Kevin was draped in half-body armor, faintly reflecting soft light. His hood was downward, and his cloak crackled in the wind.
Rose also wears a similar outfit, the biggest difference is that she wears that long dark scarf, which even covers the lower part of her face. As a demon hunter, her steps always seem so steady and powerful. Walking into the silence of the village, she estimated the enemies that might appear at any moment.
There was a continuous, almost unrecognizable humming sound, it was the only creature in the village with the breath of life!
As the wolf approached, Rose continued to scrutinize the movements. When she spotted the wolf, she pondered for a moment and said, "There don't seem to be demons here!" Rest here tonight! โฆโฆ They shouldn't be chasing after them so fast! โ
The faint hum is still low! The wolf's gaze remained still, as if he had not heard the words of the rose.
"We shouldn't be here!" The wolf's voice was hoarse, as rough as grit.
"If it weren't for the rumors of the night owls, we wouldn't be here!" Kai Wenming's bright eyes glanced at Rose with an extremely complicated expression, and then said to the wolf, "Big brother." Why don't you fit the elders' explanation...... If we escape like this, we will betray the organization, and they will continue to send people to hunt us down! โ
The wolf stared at the corpses all over the ground. Looking at the broken brick beams and columns, it was as if they were covered with a layer of black liquid. But there was also a black substance visible everywhere, which he could not identify.
"It looks like this place was attacked by a demon not long ago!" Instead of answering Kevin's words, the wolf turned to look at Rose and said, "That demon should have fled here after being wounded, look at the black substance...... There are traces of demonic blood everywhere. โ
Rose nodded. The metal tip of the tip of the boot is pierced into the ground, and the tip of the toe jumps upward, leaving the dirt beneath the surface wet. Looking at this, Rose said, "It happened just a day ago!" I guess there should be no problem resting here! They don't come in this kind of place, because ......"
The wolf glanced at Rose suspiciously. It seems to be waiting for Rose to continue. But Rose stopped halfway through.
"Because of what?" The wolf asked, looking at the wet dirt.
"Follow me......" Rose did not reply, dropped a word and walked forward alone.
As they approached the warehouse, the volume of the hum increased, an energetic and penetrating hum. As the humming sound intensified, the rancid smell intensified, and the rose standing at the front opened the tall wooden door.
A dense swarm of black objects, a cloud of flies. Rush out! Although Rose was no stranger to the stench of rotting corpses, the strong rancid smell made her take a few steps back. She stood outside the door waiting for the flies to disperse, then frowned and pulled her scarf tight, her scarlet eyes staring into the room.
Inside the barn-sized structure, the townsfolk are stacked on top of each other. Many of the corpses, male and female, were swollen and their bellies bulging. Some of the corpses were torn apart, their stomachs overflowing, and maggots crawling through their internal organs, feasting on them. Fluid oozing from the eyes, nose and mouth. Beneath the rancid stench is a distinct smell of drowning.
Countless flies are swarming and flying around!
The wolf frowned and looked at the mangled corpse, the wound was horrific, but it was not a common attack method for the minions of hell. These are stabbing, stabbing, and shattered skulls, not the smashed, mutilated, and decapitated skulls that are common in most demon slaughters.
"It's clearly not the devil's doing, what the hell is going on here...... Why do you say they won't chase here? The wolf couldn't believe the sight in front of him, frowned, and asked slowly.
It is not uncommon for humans to fight each other. The human beings of the True God Cult are exemplars of this! However, the wild wolf knew in his heart that this was the city of Holbrook, and it was not the scope of the True God Cult at all, so how could such a miserable situation occur.
"Could it be that there are other humans who have taken root with the demons...... Become a minions of hell! The wolf thought to himself, and turned his head to look at the same expression.
For these are the things that the Creation Guild did...... Do you think they will return to the scene of the killing! Rose's voice was cold as usual, but her words were astonishing. The information revealed in this sentence made the two big men, Wild Wolf and Kevin, stunned on the spot.
Since the battle with the demon queen in New Trisham, Rose's washed memories have been restored little by little, although they are still only fragments, but she knows that these memories are real. She had asked Deccakane about human memory, and Deccachin replied in the affirmative.
So why was her memory washed away, and who did it?
Based on the clues provided by sporadic memories, Rose searched alone, and finally she discovered the secret behind the creation. That's what they have in common with the Cult of God, they're all demonic minions!
"How could it be ......," Kevin said in surprise.
"Nothing is impossible...... Wolf shook his head, looked at Rose with a solemn expression, and asked, "Rose, what did you find?" โฆโฆ To be so sure, these were done by the people of the Creation Guild! โ
Rose's bewitching bloody eyes swept a glance at the wolf, and then she stopped speaking!
"We're still a squad, and you're still a member of our squad...... If we are going to deal with the enemy and know nothing about the enemy! So how do you have your two teammates face the enemy...... I believe that demons feed on fear, but it is not demons that are really frightening, some human hearts are more feared than demons......" A wild wolf who did not smile actually said such a thing, and even the cold rose and the cold pretty face showed a look of surprise.
"The devil will go straight to the heart! Dig into every fear, every doubt, every remorse in your heart, no matter how deep it is buried...... It! will leave you with nowhere to hide! โ
Mo Ling's words made Kevin stunned for a moment, while Rose ignored his reaction and continued, "Angry...... Hate...... Fear...... Commandment...... They feed on each other! But such an equilibrium is precarious, and when the equilibrium is lost, a vicious circle begins! Hatred begets ruined, ruined miรจ begets fear, and fear begets hatred! โ
"This ...... That's why it's so hard for demon hunters to learn how to control hatred! Rose's bewitching bloody eyes suddenly flashed with a scarlet light, and the monstrous murderous aura made the wolf's scalp tingle, and at this moment, Rose suddenly said: "The Creation Guild, in order to train me to be a powerful demon hunter!" Washed away my previous memories and cultivated to be their killer......"
At this point, Rose stopped and did not continue. Because she doesn't want to say!
That's right, the Creation Guild stumbled upon the gifted Rose more than a decade ago, in order to train him to become a demon hunter who could compete with the Demon King. The union members brutally murdered her parents in front of the young rose, and used various means to make the rose accumulate negative feelings such as hatred and fear in the depths of her heart.
In the end, that kind of affection can even directly affect people who are close to Rose, and even the elders of the union can't control it, so they can only wash away her memories and cultivate her as a member of the union. He even told her that her relatives were killed by demons, and that the union would give you the power to get rid of demons.
The wolf and Kevin were silent, this kind of expression is not that they don't believe in roses. On the contrary, they believed in the words of the rose! Because they have been fighting with Rose for years, they know very well what kind of person Rose is. They believe that Rose will never joke with her own business.
Rose ignored the two men, and after saying that, she turned and left the warehouse full of corpses! The wolf and Kevin exchanged a glance and disappeared into the street.
Soon after, the group of three came to a forest and settled down.
Kevin sat outside the tent, looking up at the far, dark sky! They were just a few miles from the ruins of Holbrook's village, and he caress his fingers absentmindedly over the long scar on his arm, the words of the rose still sting him deeply.
However, he didn't know how to comfort the rose, often the rose always looked cold, he didn't even dare to say a word to the rose, how could he say those comforting words.
Kevin picked up a dead branch, gently flicked it on the ground a few times, then threw it out, turned his head to look to the left, where Rose had set up his tent, and his expression was extremely complicated.
In the Creation Guild, Kevin's handsome exterior is invincible, and there are even many noble ladies in the city who boldly offer him love. But Kevin disdains these things, not because he is arrogant, but because his heart has long been filled with a cold rose, and he can't tolerate anyone anymore!
However, the coldness of the rose is not the cold and delicate appearance, it is the coldness of the soul, as if there is nothing but hatred and killing in her soul! Such a cold and delicate rose is deeply imprinted in Kevin's heart, but Kevin has been immersed in gains and losses.
As for such a thing, emotions are strange to roses! Maybe Rose herself may not know what it is! (To be continued......)
