Chapter Seventy-Two: The Two-Faced Man
There is a very special position near the human heart, that position, as long as a stab can make people enter a state of suspended animation, although people look like they are dead, there is no heartbeat, no breathing, but as long as the bleeding stops in time, people will quickly come back to life
This special location has long been recorded in the medical classics of the real country, and the medicine of the real country marks more than 100 whirlpools of energy flow on the human body according to the law of energy flow in the human body, which are called acupuncture points by the people of the real country, and the place near the heart that can make people fake their death is one of the acupuncture points, which is called the qimen acupoint
In the medicine on the three continents of Olopa, there is no acupuncture point at all, and this statement is naturally unknown, and the common sense that the Qihu acupoint can make people fake their death is even less known on Olopa
It is precisely because of this common sense that little is known that in some way it can save the lives of some people at the most urgent moment
In his early years in the army, Duke had heard a veteran mention that a magical location near the human heart had the effect of faking death, and the veteran's ancestor was a businessman who had traveled across the ocean to do business in the real country, so he also learned some medical allusions to the real country, and Duke had no interest in the origin of these allusions, but he knew that this common sense could allow him to survive the most dangerous times
I don't know how many times, when Duke's comrades were killed in battle, he stabbed himself in the qito point, and then deceived all the enemies in a state of suspended animation, so that he survived, and later became a bandit, and also used this method to escape and pursue many times
However, the last time it was used, this method failed
It was twelve years ago, after the sacking of the village of Serre in the Kingdom of Pole, when Duke was pursued by two paladins of the Templar Order, and seeing that he was cornered, he repeated his old trick and stabbed his own qi point with a knife, and then Duke lost his heartbeat and breath and fell to the ground, due to the proximity of the stab to the heart, causing the illusion of suicide, but Duke never expected that the Holy See would easily see through his tricks, and when he woke up, he found himself surrounded by a large number of Templar soldiers
From that moment on, Duke had already deeply realized what real fear was, but what happened next was not as Duke expected, he originally thought that the sins he had committed would be immediately executed by the evil Holy See, but in fact the Holy See did not execute Duke, not even the most basic corporal punishment for him, but put him in prison, and there was no sign of putting him to death, and from then on he was locked up for twelve years
These things made Duke a little puzzled, he did not understand the intentions of the Holy See, but the long imprisonment gave him enough free time to think before the evil wolf Duke began to reflect on his life, from the first time he joined the army, made military achievements, and achieved glory, to being implicated, betrayed by his neighbors, and imprisoned, and then to the anger of all the villagers after escaping from prison, and became a robber until he was captured by the Templars, Duke looked back on his life in his own memories like a bystander
In addition to reflection, Duke's thinking was also changed by religious reasons: he read the Holy Book and other scriptures written by saints in the history of the Holy Illuminati in prison, and Duke was gradually transformed by the power of religion, and he knew himself better than before when he lost his freedom
That's why I'm now able to regain my life, and after recounting my experience, Duke said to Joyka
Have you really renounced evil and turned to good, what is the value of this cheap whitewashing, Joyka said with extreme disdain
You have seen that I have no intention of harming you, and now I am just guarding the Throne Tower at the behest of His Holiness, and His Holiness the Pope has given me great power, and I am here to atone for my sins, and I only want to atone for my sins as much as possible before the end of my life, so you don't go any further, Duke's face was full of piety when he said this
Since you've forsaken evil and turned to good, as you said, don't stand in my way anymore, Joyka yelled, and if you want to atone for your sins, keep fighting us
No, Duke flatly refused, although I don't know what makes you so covetous of the holy relics on the top of the tower, please listen to me, young man, don't touch the holy relics again, it will be blasphemous
Relic, what are you talking about, Relic, Duke's words left Joika scratching his head, and he began to realize that things were not as simple as he thought
Don't you even know about the relics, so what are you doing in the tower, and Joyka's reaction also surprised Duke
My companions and I had no idea what a 'holy thing' was, and we never thought about taking any 'holy thing', and we broke into the tower to save a country and thousands of lives
Thousands of lives, Joika's words made Duke stunned, and it was clear that he was afraid of something
Don't you know the true face of the Holy See, don't you know what is hidden in this tower you are guarding, and then Joyka tells Duke all the possible disasters caused by the Tower of the Seven Sins and the Pope's attempt to use it to destroy the city of Hansha
Duke listened to Joyka's narration, only to see that his expression was getting harder and harder to see, and finally turned a terrible pig's liver color
You lied to Joyka, and Duke couldn't accept that the Pope would never do such a brutal thing
All that I said is true, the current Holy See of the Holy Light Cult has degenerated, and conscientious believers have been driven away by careerists like the Pope, and the church has only become a tool for the Pope to carry out his ambitions, Duke, you are being used
No, I will not believe what you say, it is nothing more than a lie you have made up to steal the holy relics
What I said is true, there is already a small town and thousands of innocent lives turned to ashes under the ambition of the Pope, Duke, I was originally with your hatred, but after hearing that you have changed your ways, I originally wanted to let you go, if you choose to stop it now, then we will settle all the new and old hatreds at once
Stop, hurry up and leave I can't fight you anymore or something terrible will happen in the face of joyka s step by step forcing duke to retreat again and again is he cowardly
I didn t think about it, twelve years of imprisonment turned you into a coward, you were actually afraid to fight, okay, get out of the way immediately, Joeyka took another step forward with his sword
Wow-ah-yes
What happened next surprised Joika a little bit, and Duke suddenly let out a cry of pain, and knelt on the ground with his head in his hands
What was going on, Joyka couldn't help but froze for a moment
Hahaha, boy, do you want to get through guò from here, Duke spoke, but the tone was not at all different from the original, revealing gloomy and cruel, but I Duke can tell sù You can figure out guò or leave, it is impossible for you to be buried today, this is your burial place, no one can survive under my Duke's hunt, no one can
What Duke's transformation came too quickly, Joyka couldn't help but be surprised, didn't you just say that you forsake evil and follow good, are you lying
Abandon evil and follow good, can you tell me what is evil and what is good, even the Holy See, which prides itself on being good, has been doing all kinds of outrageous truths on me all these years, I will sooner or later unscrew the Pope's head together, Duke grabbed the chains and slowly stood up, twelve years ago let you escape, today you actually sent it to the door in person, haha, the sound of your bones being crushed must be very beautiful, Duke raised his head while threatening death
Here, Joyka realized that Duke in front of him seemed to be a different person, only to see his eyes red, his face black, his neck and exposed arms, and the green tendons protruding
Die, Duke picked up the large iron ball attached to the chain and smashed it at Joika
It can be seen that Duke has tried his best this time, and Joyka will definitely be crushed if she is hit
Meditation Hall of the Papal Basilica on Holy Papal Island
Duke has not changed his temperament drastically, he is still the same 'jackal' who kills people without blinking, but he has split into a different personality, the Pope said
Split into another personality I'm sorry I don't quite understand Sixtus asked puzzled
This is the case, the Pope paused, and continued to explain: Back then, we used hundreds of felons, including Duke, to perform the magic of the 'God Warrior', and in the end, all those people died, but only Duke survived
Yes, if it weren't for the great loss of His Majesty, Your Majesty, you wouldn't have stopped this fact, but it's a miracle that Duke survived, and his body was so strong that Cheng Dù was indeed breathtaking
No, the Pope shook his head and said that Duke survived, and a strong body was not the point, and there were many prisoners who were stronger than him who died
What is that
Back then, in the real yàn, Duke split out another personality out of unconscious self-preservation, that is, a kind of extremely good personality diametrically opposed to his own character, it is under the protection of that personality that he can survive all the real yàn, and now Duke is a two-faced person, extremely good and extremely evil, two personalities, fighting for the control of his body for a long time.
