XXXVIII. Fallacies and heresies

At this moment, the deformed corpses lost control and fell into chaos, some fled to the villa, some turned into stone sculptures, some were dazed and waiting to die, and some were still attacking, but it was no longer a climate.

Kolof grabbed a corpse dog and gave an order, and the corpse dog galloped away with him.

Solace exclaimed, "Don't let him escape! She pounced, but the corpse dog was as fast as the wind, and she couldn't get it. The Waste Bell's arm grew violently, and it was also half a cut off, and the remaining corpse dogs became more and more ferocious, and Mirse, Soles, and the Waste Bell were surrounded by groups.

I knew I couldn't let Kolov run away, and the canines didn't notice me, so I got up and chased after me with all my might.

I could see the footprints of the corpse dog on the ground, he couldn't shake me off, maybe there wasn't much cursed fire left in his body, he had to choose between maintaining the corpse dog and healing himself, I pricked myself with needles and medicine, and concentrated the blade on my legs.

I followed him to a lonely hillside, and on the eve of dawn the sky was purple, and the dark shadows of men were clear in front of this purple curtain, and I saw Kolov, who was half-lying and half-sitting in front of an unknown grave.

The deformed corpse barked at me twice, and Kolov killed it, saying, "It's annoying. ”

I said, "You can't escape, the Rangers will take you in, and you will be punished for everything you have done, and it will definitely be a capital offense." ”

Kolof laughed: "Punished? I've been tortured many times by you humans, and what you're saying isn't new to me. ”

I said, "I don't care, does it have anything to do with how miserable you used to be?" You angered the Black Coffin, and that's why you deserve to die. ”

Kolof didn't seem to hear what I said, or maybe he didn't care, he was just talking to himself: "You know, I have a mother, and she made me just as I made Soles, I made the clock." She made me realize that we living corpses don't have to live too aggrieved. ”

He crushed a few crawling ants and said, "Mother took me and tried to find a place in the wasteland." We found a village, walled, relatively safe, they dug pits in the ground to shelter from the storm if necessary, and our mother and son pleaded with the humans, and they took us in. ”

He lowered his head, broke down the ants, smiled weakly, and said, "But we have the Hellfire, and the Hellfire can do some miracles, such as healing them, but it can't heal people's hearts." Mother did a lot for them, but they didn't appreciate it. A month later, they.... He killed his mother, divided her into several pieces, and burned her head on a wooden frame.

They say that mothers are banshees who catch children and eat them, but there is no shortage of little hairy children in their village, can you believe it? Just because they think we are sinful, we are sinful. They don't listen to defenses, they don't look for evidence, they don't believe in reason, they only believe in their prejudices. ”

He poured fire into the dead ants, and the ants got up and tried to return to the ants' ranks, but the rest of the ants quickly killed it.

Kolov shook his head and said, "I've had enough, what's the use of being friendly?" What's the use of kindness? What's the use of being respectful? Helping people and having a fucking shit? You're like a piece of meat that they eat you when they're hungry and then throw you away like. ”

I said, "We are all the same, and what are we in the eyes of the aristocracy?" ”

Kolov scolded: "What a fart! Our lives are worse than bugs, humans at least ignore bugs, but they hate us by nature! He looked to the side and said, "You are just using my children, and then, one day, you will crucify them and burn them to death as your merit for the people." ”

I had a fire in my heart and shouted, "Nonsense, I don't believe it, I will never let you say it, I will treat them well, make them feel that they are no different from human beings." ”

Kolov smiled: "Then you will meet with misfortune, believe me, fate is always unfair to us, either we are unlucky, or our loved ones are unlucky." ”

He said, "I'll tell you one more secret." ”

I looked back impatiently, hoping that the Rangers would soon arrive and lock the big mouth in prison.

"The demons in the world are all people," Kolov said. ”

I thought he was trying to shake me up by using religious rhetoric of original sin, and I replied, "Are you going to do that?" ”

"The white demons, the red demons, the black demons, the lava demons that you see, they're all human. Like us living corpses, they mutated and became demons. ”

I said, "What is the basis for this?" Not alarmist yet? ”

Kolof smiled, "I know, I know very well, because I have observed, they are possessed by demons and cursed, and what about us living corpses?" We are no longer the same as we were when we were born, and they are no longer the same people we were. ”

I refuted him: "There are many theories about the catastrophe of the end times, and some people say that demons come from another dimension, but those are all in the past, even if you study it, what if you understand it?" We just want to live in this world, and we don't have time to get to the bottom of it. ”

"I've met someone, Simon Magnus, have you heard of it?" ”

My heart shook and I said, "Magnus? Where is he? ”

"He was the cardinal of the Anno Empire, and he affirmed my point of view," Koloff said. He believes that the birth of human beings is closely related to demons, and that demons have planted some ... buttons, some entrances.

Most people, once the switch is touched by the demon, will be alienated and become a murderous madman, like a white demon and a deformed corpse without brains.

And a very small number of people, with very different bloodlines, can in turn control such a power, and become extremely powerful while remaining rational. ”

I remember that the people of Charon called Nefarem, the descendant of the devil, and it seems that this theory has been around for a long time, but so what? Even if the demons were once human, could I still hold the white flag to negotiate with them?

Kolof said: "You... Naturally, it's Nefarem, and we... The living corpse is the same, and so are the nobles of the black coffin. ”

He said, "I can hear it, I can smell it, you are also demonized.... Touched, a certain .... Very terrible demons. We were all human beings, but not anymore.

Some kind of ritual... Changed us. For us, it's about dying, decomposing, and being reborn, and for the Bloodline, it's about replenishing demon blood after blood loss. What about you? What is the ritual you experienced? ”

I stood firm, but I just wanted to turn around and leave, and I told myself not to pay attention to the demon, but the fish's eyes seemed to fill the night sky, whispering to me a terrible, maddening truth.

Suddenly, there was a shout from afar, reinforcements from the rangers arrived. They have only arrived now, and they are no doubt suspicious of picking fruit, but at least they will allow me to avoid Kolof for a while, and I will no longer have to watch him alone.

Kolov smiled: "Fear is the opportunity for the devil to come, and human beings will not want to catch me, humiliate me, and torture me again!" I do not defend my sins, on the contrary, I am proud of the revenge I have done against humanity! In an instant, the bright fire burned his body, and he was reduced to ashes, leaving not even a bone left.

Mirse and Salvador were in the crowd, Lamia and Jiunan were also there, I didn't see the Waste Zhong brothers and sisters, they should also avoid it, it was for their good.

Lamia and I hugged and detailed the circumstances of the case. I didn't tell Lamia about Simon Magnus, that would have to be saved for later. Kolov's theories about Nefarem and demons are unreliable, and I simply don't tell anyone.

Maybe he's right.

So what?

Ten hours later, I, Missey, and Salvador were in Legang's office, Legang was holding the information book, reading behind the desk, I only felt that the chair behind me was not very comfortable, and I looked at the sofa opposite.

So I sat back in my chair.

Legang said: "Longi, you know that our Black Coffin Rangers have some rules and regulations. ”

I said, "What? I just solved a big case, and you're going to tell me this? ”

"Yes," Legang said, "For example, you have to be respectful in front of the chief, and the most basic respect is to sit still. ”

I reluctantly said, "Yes, sir, but you also need to find some better chairs." ”

Legang said, "Okay, I'll replace these chairs tomorrow." ”

He paused, and said: "Although the times are chaotic, the main purpose of the black coffin is to bring order, especially in the skyscraper to investigate the case, and there is a set of processes for collecting evidence. ”

I didn't have time to read the rules and ask, "Sir, what's the process?" ”

Le Gang smiled: "I don't know, but anyway, there is a damn process." ”

We laughed at the same time, and I knew that Legang didn't care.

"You killed Kolov, although it was a great achievement, but you didn't bring back anyone who could be put on trial, which is a fly in the ointment," Legang said. ”

I said: "Suo Lao has been confirmed to be related to the Blood Pact Gang, and the Blood Pact Gang has been illegally engaged in the transportation of black people for a long time, and the security facilities of the black coffin are full of loopholes and are useless. "Speaking of which, I was worried that I had damaged the interests of Boss Abi and Lackey, so I stopped there.

"We will intensify our efforts to crack down on crimes committed by the underworld," Le Gang said. However, we can't move Suolao, he is a nobleman, he can do anything at the lower level, and the only one who can restrain him is Mai Zong. ”

Milsey asked, "Anything?" Could it be that he could not punish him by killing people and setting fires? ”

"Of course, there will be sanctions, and we will accuse him in the House of Elders, but that will undoubtedly upset the balance of the political situation in the Black Coffin," Legang said. He sighed and added, "Besides, we need the Blood Pact." ”

We asked in unison, "What?" ”

Le Gang said: "This is what the consul meant, and I am inconvenient to ask. ”

Milser said: "You do not want to manage the lower ranks, so you train those who are outlaws to act as agents? ”

Legang said: "This is the end of your report, Major Longinus, Captain Salvador, and Mr. Misser, thank you for protecting the dignity of the Rangers, I have important business, we will leave it at that." ”

I regret that I was not promoted to colonel in one go, but for the sake of Legang's friendship with me, it is not unacceptable.

And since I was possessed by a demon, I accidentally took some maybe less valuable gadgets from Legang's office, and we are all friends, and I hope he won't mind.
