58. The Heart of the Beast
Beast, beast, beast.
I looked at Bochi, who was full of spirit and emotion, and his eloquence drew widespread support in the hall. The Bloodclan was so excited about this that they seemed to straighten their waists and become taller in an instant.
They love to hear this, and they want someone to tell them that they are not cursed, but charismatic.
In an instant, I knew what to do.
I got up from the gallery and said, "That's nonsense! ”
The Bloodclan looked at me, Bochi turned his head to glare at me, and he said, "Marquis, you are a human being, and it is better to have less to say about the matter of the Bloodline. ”
I said, "No, I know that, everyone here knows Cain, and they all know Cain's story." In Cain's view, he was not a gift from God, but a cruel curse that he could not escape. ”
Bochi sneered: "Curses don't make people infinitely powerful, curses don't make humans appear weak and powerless in front of us. ”
If I were to enter into a debate with Bochi, I would definitely lose, and I would not be the priest's opponent in any case, but it would not be a dignified debate, but a judgment. I don't need to defeat Bochi, I just need to provoke him.
The beast within him is stirring with his preaching, he is a manic madman, he is a powder keg.
He's in the middle of a web of madness.
I said, "If God wants it to be destroyed, it must first make it mad." The higher you climb, the worse you fall, you think the Bloodline is superior, but I think the Bloodline is inferior to humans. ”
Bochi said: "Nonsense, nonsense! ”
I said, "The nature of the Bloodline is clear to all of you. Sunlight and fire will kill you, you must sleep during the day, you can only stay awake in the night, you can only feed on blood for eternity, your body is cold, you cannot reproduce like a normal person, your heart is afraid of the wooden cone, and if you pierce it, you will fall into paralysis. Isn't that a curse? Regardless of where the curse came from, it did cause the Bloods to suffer.
Being a Bloodline is not a blessing, and you are born with a much greater sin and a more severe punishment than humans. You should not only think about the good things, but also the bad things. ”
I annoyed a lot of people with this, but they couldn't do anything about me, because I was nominally the ceiling of the Black Coffin's combat power.
"This curse is not insurmountable, and at night we can easily subdue at least ten humans who can't even resist," Bochi said. ”
I said, "But how easy is it when humans want to hunt the Bloods?" In ancient times, countless Bloods were dragged out of hiding places by humans and burned at the stake. Ten ordinary humans may not be able to defeat the Bloodline, but ten heavily armed humans can, not to mention that there is only one Bloodline among thousands of humans. And what about the age when humanity declines, sickness and dies? The Bloods will also be unlucky, because the Bloods will run out of food and will soon be on the verge of famine.
Bloodlines are higher than humans? First of all, the Bloods must be independent of humans, and have no fear of humans, and then come and talk to me about what to rule over. ”
Bo Chi twisted his head, looked left and right, and said, "Marquis, you have great hostility towards our blood clan, do you want to replace our blood clan's dominance in the black coffin?" ”
I shook my head and said, "No, it won't work for me. But in my opinion, the consuls were right. The Bloodline should not release its nature, but on the contrary, suppress it.
The Bloods should not see their strength as a gift, but as an exercise, an ordeal. If so, why is it so dangerous? With such a big negative effect? If you overuse it, it will destroy the user? This gift, like the fruit of original sin, is so sweet and tempting, but it comes at a price.
The Bloods should recognize this verse and see themselves as ascetics, martyrs, not lords or lords who act as powerful and misbehaving. The Bloods must be wary of the beast, not indulge it and rely on it. The Bloods must understand that you must not forget your roots when you are born of mortal bodies, or you will become beasts, and beasts will always be inferior to human nature. ”
Bochi said, "You mean that we blood clans should kneel down and kowtow to humans and swear obedience?" Should we Bloodlines never drink human blood and catch rats and wild dogs in the sewers? ”
I said aloud, "No, first of all, you must realize that you are a cursed creature, you must desire atonement, you must desire redemption. You must understand that every drink of blood, willingly or unwillingly, is adding to your sins and stray you from the right path, from humanity. ”
I just didn't want to talk about it, because I didn't have to worry about anything. I'm just off Bochi, no matter how ridiculous the reasoning is.
I could feel Bochi's anger rising, and on the verge of exploding, I urged the madness net to begin to erode him, tempting the instincts in his body.
Bochi sneered: "What about humans slaughtering animals? What about humans eating animal meat? Is that a sin? Does it count as a deviation from the right path? ”
I said, "Notice that the situation is very different. Humans and Bloodlines have very similar mindsets, while humans and animals are different species. Everything in the blood clan comes from people, and human civilization does not depend on the intelligence of animals. ”
"It's a rhetoric, humans have climbed to the top of the food chain, and the Bloodlines are above it," Bochi said. Humans will not give up the right to eat meat, and the Bloods will not give up the privilege of drinking blood. ”
I said, "The ancestor of the blood, the supreme Cain, he gave up." Realizing that the bloody rule of the Bloods would lead to consequences, he left the First Empire he had created. And what about the flood ancestors? They thought they could do it, and as a result, their Second Empire fell apart and was destroyed. They could have lived forever, but for various reasons they disappeared.
Because they realized that the curse was a sin, they were willing to disappear and look for a way to be liberated. The ancestors of the blood clan are still like this, why do the younger generations think that they are smart and strong, and even the unfathomable ancestors can surpass them? ”
"You're self-righteous.... Guys, the reason for the disappearance of the ancestors is unknown! ”
I said, "Then it could be from heaven's punishment?" According to the ancient religion, people are born with original sin, and if they do not do good deeds, they will go to hell. But what about the Bloodline? This world is hell for the Bloods, who are as weak as ants during the day, and only the night can shelter them. If the Bloodline is not clever enough and kills too much, the humans will rebel, and the Bloods are too fragile in front of many humans. Father Bochi, you seem to be strong and powerful, but with the right timing, even this little girl can easily kill you. Bloodlines are higher than humans? It's a big joke. ”
Bochi looked at Alyssa and said, "She? She adores me, loves me, and fears me, so how can she have the audacity to harm me? ”
I said, "So, do you dare to stay in the same room with her during the day?" Falling asleep in front of her without any protection? ”
"There is no need," said Boch, "my faithful servants will always be by my side. ”
I said, "Then you don't dare after all?" You, as a being beyond humans, must hide behind humans and be terrified? You enslave hundreds of slaves and don't have the confidence to survive under Alyssa's hands? ”
Bochi still smiled, but it was full of threat, and he said, "Alyssa, my dear child, tell the Marquis of Longinus how much you respect me, even if you sacrifice your own life, you will not harm me in the slightest, will you?" ”
Alyssa's mouth trembled, tears rolling in her eyes.
I said, "You're worried about your mom, aren't you?" Do you think if Bochi dies, your mom will die too? No, that's not the case, in the daytime, this man is too weak to move, you just have to point the cone at his heart, stab it in, and he will be paralyzed for the rest of his life. At that point, your mother will drink as much of his blood as she wants. I ask you, if so, would you like to do it? ”
Alyssa wiped away her tears and nodded vigorously.
Bochi's pupils dilate and glow, like an angry tiger.
I said, "Alyssa, tell me, why are you doing this?" ”
Alyssa said, "Because... I heard other people living in the cafeteria say that we are mixed-race children, in Bochi... The priest is unclean in his eyes, and he will kill us like cleaning up the garbage in his house! I hate him, I hate him to death, we all hate him so much. ”
I urged the mad net to attack Boch, and he got completely carried away, and in an instant, I realized that a string in Boch's head seemed to be broken.
He roared, his body ripped through his robes, his skin became indistinguishable from that of a long-dead man, his fangs bared, his hands turned into claws, and behind his back appeared to be a pair of vested bat wings.
This is a beast that is completely different from Ganger, Ganger's form is strictly adjusted by them and can be controlled, while the rest of the beasts of the blood clan once they appear, they no longer have any reason.
He screamed and pounced on Alyssa.
I hugged Alyssa and hid in the shadows, there was a loud bang outside, he must have caused a big mess, but don't be nervous, the Bloods will stop him.
I looked at the outside world through the shadows, and saw Tiphon, Mai Zong, and Michael standing by and watching, Gallegang and Le Steel competed with each other, Le Steel was at a disadvantage, but using skill to play Gall around, Maxwell exuded a majestic aura around him, constantly weakening Galle's fighting wits. Some of the other arbiters rushed forward and shot Bochi with Excalibur bullets, but Bochi did not know how to dodge and resist, and took all the orders as they were ordered, and soon became scarred.
I said to Alyssa, "It's okay, it's going to be over soon." ”
By the time we went out again, the dust had settled, and Bochi was back in human form, kneeling on the ground, covered in blood, and he looked at me with hatred in his eyes, but he was no longer capable of fighting.
Michael laughed, "Why didn't you restrain him in the first place?" Quite a few people were seriously injured by him. ”
I sighed, "I'm too busy saving people to worry about anything else." This is the scene of the beast coming out of the cage, Duke of Bochi, what do you think now? ”
Bochi gritted his teeth and did not answer, and Michael said: "Bochi, you have destroyed the Holy House of Elders, tried to kill people in this court, and caused many serious injuries, therefore, I deprive you of the right to be a duke and put you in prison to await the real verdict." ”
