Although the death of the monster made Yu Siqi and the others breathe a sigh of relief, it also brought them new troubles.

Yes, after his mind gradually calmed down, the first thought that popped into Yu Siqi's mind was not to care about Father An. Rather, if the invisible monster is real, then combined with Qi Sheng's actions and the currently known evidence. Have they made the mistake of trusting the priest too subjectively, depriving themselves of the judgment they should have? ’

The dark thoughts made Yu Siqi's trust in Father An greatly reduced for a while, which was something he didn't want to see, but it really happened. Especially when Father An, who had a sad face, took the initiative to admit to them that he might have made an irreparable mistake, Yu Siqi could obviously deeply feel Wan Jie's trust in Father An, and he began to waver.

"Looks like we need to go back, though I know it sounds hard for you to accept. But I still want to do it, even if I get scolded by you. ”

Father Ann didn't even look at the monster's corpse, but walked around its pile of charred corpses and began to walk towards the place where Qi Sheng had been thrown.

"No one is going to scold you, and no one is going to blame you in the true sense of the word, Father. But until then, can't we pretend that it didn't happen? Trust me, I'm not going to tell anyone the truth about this. ”

Wan Jie, who pulled out the hammer from the 'pig's mouth', cleaned up the black ash on it a little and put it away.

"I'm the same, just let this matter be a secret between us, okay? Why do you have to go and see your mistakes? ”

Yu Siqi's kind words and persuasion not only did not have the desired effect, but caused a subtle change in Father An's attitude towards him.

"Do you really think I'm wrong?"

For the first time, Father Ann spoke to Yu Siqi in a questioning tone, much to his consternation. However, in addition to being shocked, he still expressed his opinion with body language.

"Maybe you're right, or maybe there's no right answer to that question from the beginning."

After saying this puzzling sentence, Father Ann chose to remain silent. So, they could only follow him silently.

It didn't feel good to re-enter the woods, like something was blocking your mind. They always maintained a state of tightness and tightness towards the target location, but finally vomited because they saw the extremely tragic picture. This time, it was not only Yu Siqi alone, but even Wan Jie and Father An were all over the place.

After he finally removed the food residue that blocked his chest, Yu Siqi wiped the corners of his mouth and forced himself to move his gaze to the corpse that was no longer human.

If it weren't for the fact that this person's skeleton was too large, and some of the clothes that were torn off were still vaguely arguable, I'm afraid Yu Siqi would not be able to conclude that this was Qi Sheng that they deliberately threw away.

But no matter what, the thought of such a tragedy because of them made Yu Siqi's stomach churn again.

The vomiting continued until Father Ann handed him a handkerchief with a blank face.

Although Yu Siqi wanted to take the handkerchief as before, and thanked the priest at the same time. However, now he is completely unable to do this. Is it because of blind trust that has caused such a man-made tragedy? Or was he because of what Father Ann did next?

"There are very obvious strangulation marks on the broken wrist, and there is also one under the neck, this should be the unlucky ghost named Qi Sheng."

Wan Jie, who had cleaned herself, observed it closely for a while with a very careful attitude, and finally came up with evidence that could almost chill Yu Siqi's heart.

"We hurt him, if we had taken him with us."

The remorse in Yu Siqi's heart almost made him go back in time, and it was Father An's next sentence that 'scared him'.

"The Orderβ€”the Flame."

With a chant from Father An, the flames erupting from his fingertips quickly burned Qi Sheng's 'remaining parts' to ashes.

After the very standard 'cremation of the corpse', the picture they could receive was indeed much cleaner. Of course, that's premised on you not looking at the three piles of vomit over there.

"Why don't you bury him properly? He's not from our side, but he's your compatriot after all, right? ”

After the body was burned to ashes, Wan Jie asked Father An with a puzzled expression.

"A rash burial of him will not only pollute the land, but also cause unpredictable dangers. I don't want to take any of the consequences that might happen, that's not what I want to see. Besides, I ask you, can you be sure that the corpse killed by that thing will not be parasitized? Are you sure this thing is really 'dead'? I mean, his parasitic body, it's just a hypothesis, but I don't want to take any risks. You know what I mean, right? ”

Father An's words are not unreasonable, but psychologically, Yu Siqi is still a little difficult to convince himself.

This is probably an adverse reaction caused by guilt, and I really hope that I can get out of this state as soon as possible. After all, no matter how you say it, this guy's death actually has little to do with him. ’

Yu Siqi, who could only anesthetize himself with such perfunctory thoughts, suddenly felt that he was a little too hypocritical. But after considering that this hypocrisy could make his mood a little more comfortable, he decided to accept this hypocrisy gladly.

Feeling that there was no need to stay, they set out on the road back again, because something bad had just happened, so they were all very silent along the way. It was only when they saw Duran's sturdy silhouette that Wan Jie took the initiative to stir up the topic, saying, "I know this is a topic that should not be brought up again, but after I thought about it again. It occurred to me that it was necessary to say to you, 'It was a very foolish decision to turn back, Father.' ’”

"Not necessarily."

Father An's stubbornness and persistence were something Wan Jie didn't expect, and Wan Jie's next words to Father An were also something Yu Siqi didn't expect.

"Even in this case, do you still have to insist on your own 'opinion', priest? Even with so many facts in front of you, do you still have to assume that what you did was right? ”

Wan Jie stood in front of Father An and looked at the resolute face and asked.

"I'd love to tell you the answer you want to know, even if it might be a reason for you not to question me again. But as you can see, I can't. Given that what is happening so far is so sudden, I wanted to take a moment to clear my mind. If, by then, you still want to know what I'm thinking, I don't mind sharing my views and thoughts with you. ”

Father An did not have any substantive reaction to Wan Jie's blocking behavior. Just left such a paragraph, and passed through her side.
