Chapter 19: The Motive of Evil Thoughts

"I said, I said. Chester's leg pain was temporarily relieved, cold sweat broke out on his head, and he quickly said, "Those two people came here three months ago, and they also built this underground secret room. They forced me to trick Betty and hurt her, and they forced Neo to do it, and they just followed, and I had to do that, I was just forced. ”

"Oh, I see. Pannis nodded and said to Lina, "You can do the one thing you want to do the most right now." ”

"Bang", this time Lina seems to be infected by the characters in the book extraordinarily violent, hearing Pannis's words, she kicked out without raising her head, Chester screamed, her other leg was also twisted and deformed, and her pants were wet. Lina sneered and said, "I want to do this the most, thank you so much for giving me this opportunity." I sincerely hope that you will lie, that I may have more opportunities to do so, and that you, dear Mr. Chester, must grant my little wish. ”

"I don't dare, I'll tell the truth. Feeling the undisguised malice in Lina's heart, Chester almost burst into tears, trembling and said: "I did it, I did it, I killed Neo, and I also caused the injuries on Betty's body, I tell you, don't kill me, don't kill me." ”

"Did they really come three months ago? Catherine crouched beside Chester, pointed to the head on McWilling's waist and said, "Look, are these two people?

"It's true, they're here three months ago. Chester glanced at the head and said, "That's right, it's just the two of them, and no one else." ”

His second sentence was lying. Vivien rubbed her staff lightly and said softly, "Mr. Chester, you can try to continue lying in front of me, and see if you can fool my eyes, maybe one of them will succeed, hehe." ”

"No, no, no, I'm mistaken, it's three. It's three people. Chester shouted hoarsely, "But one of them left not long after he arrived, and he said that this place was too dangerous, too close to Longshan and the Bailong clan, and that a living person like him could not stay here." Otherwise, if it is discovered, the secret may be exposed, so I left early. ”

"It's the necromancer who has gone. Catherine ignored the sobbing Chester and whispered to Pannith and Lina, "I fought these two ghouls just now, and after defeating them, I didn't ask a few words. These two ghouls died again like the previous ones, and there was no possibility of asking for information at all, it seems that the other party is really careful in this regard, and will not leave us with a chance at all. ”

"What a troublesome enemy. Lina pursed her lips and glanced at the head on McVeillin's waist with some disgust, "But why did you cut off the ghoul and bring it back?"

"Take it back and dedicate it to the Guardians. McWilling patted the head and said, "These half-undead smell of Guardian enemies, and I don't know how, but it's always right to bring them back to show the Guardians." ”

"Okay, let's not digress yet. Catherine waved her hand to stop Lina, and continued to crouch beside Chester and asked, "Did the three of them find you when they came?What do you want you to do?Tell yourself clearly, don't wait for us to ask one by one." ”

"Yes. Yes, the three of them suddenly appeared in the village, it was just winter, the village was not very closed to the outside world, and occasionally there would be travelers, and no one paid much attention after they came. Then one day they suddenly came to me and said a lot of things that I didn't understand, anyway, they had cast a spell on me, and they could let me die at any time. Chester's fear made him afraid to hide it any longer. He said quickly: "In order to convince me, they also demonstrated it to me, which made me suddenly feel a terrible pain, and I rolled on the ground in pain." I was scared. I can only promise to obey their orders, what do they ask me to do, I dare not do it, I was also forced, it is not that I want to hurt them. ”

Some of your answers don't seem to be related to the question. Pannis sneered and said, "Lina......"

"I was wrong, I was wrong. Chester took a few steps back away from Lina with his hands on the ground. shouted loudly: "I promise not to say irrelevant things, I promise to say everything, and not to kick again." ”

"Useless man, how could that Betty choose you. Lina scolded hatefully: "Think about what you have done to her, that is a girl who grew up with you since she was a child and is ready to give her body and mind to you, you actually treat a person who really loves you like this, I thought you had so much courage, but it turned out to be such a waste." ”

"Go on. Catherine glanced at Lina strangely, she didn't go down to the secret room, she didn't know why Lina was so angry, but she didn't stop Lina's spitting, but continued to ask: "After controlling you, what did you do?"

"They, they say, Betty's date of birth, age, location and physical characteristics are all appropriate. Chester stammered: "They also said that such conditions are very suitable for being a human pillar, so let me cooperate with them." ”

"Sure enough, it's a human pillar. The corners of Pennis's mouth twitched, and he cast an understanding look at Lina: "No wonder you are so angry, I'm afraid the situation below is very exciting." Human pillar, hey, human pillar......"

"What is a human pillar?" Catherine didn't know much about the ritual of the sacrifice of the evil god, and asked with a frown, "Is it also part of the sacrifice?" ”

"To put it simply, the existence of the human pillar is part of a large-scale ritual, which cannot be regarded as a sacrifice entirely, but more of a supporting ritual of sacrifice. Pannis explained: "The ordinary sacrifice of the evil god is to let the sacrifice die in pain, and the more painful the death, the greater the power it brings, which is mainly a sacrifice method used to convey power to the evil god." But the human pillars are different from the rituals that accompany them, they are performed for a specific purpose, such as to better establish a connection with the evil spirits. The ritual requires the selection of multiple human pillars, and these human pillars are not chosen randomly, but through complex calculations to confirm that certain can be used as human pillars, and then create human pillars at the same time, as long as one of them fails, then all human pillars will be abandoned and need to be recalculated. ”

"The way of sacrifice is to let the sacrifice die eventually, unlike the human pillar. Pannis sighed and asked, "Are you sure you still want to hear the following?"

"Say it. Catherine stared at Chester with no joy or anger: "I think I've guessed what is going on, and I'm prepared." ”

"The human pillar needs a sacrifice to stay alive, or to bear the greatest pain, and it is impossible to die if it wants to. Pannis said lightly: "Whether it is physical or spiritual, the pain, despair, hatred, unwillingness, and all negative emotions of the sacrifice will strengthen the power of the human pillar, and then increase the success rate of the ritual." In order to achieve this effect, those evil believers often tempt the people closest to and most trusted of the sacrifice and let them torture the sacrifice themselves, so that the sacrifice can produce double negative emotions and fully enhance the effect. So, when I found Betty's letter of apology to him in Neo's corpse and knew that Betty really loved Chester, and then thought about Chester's unjustified behavior, I immediately thought of the human pillar ceremony. ”

"Good. Catherine nodded, "Mr. Chester, so you promised them to hurt Betty?"

"Yes, I can't help it. Chester, not knowing whether it was because of pain or fright, trembled and said, "If I don't do what they say, they will make my death miserable, and I can only listen to them." ”

"I'm lying again. Vivien sighed and said, "You did try, but unfortunately, this time it didn't work, I hope you still have the courage to continue to work hard next time." ”

"It's the arm this time. Lina held the book in her arms, looked at Chester indifferently and said, "Give you a chance to choose, do you choose your left arm or your right arm?"

"No, no, no, I'll be honest. Chester broke down and cried loudly, moving back a little bit, and said as fast as he could: "They did not threaten me except when they first asked me to be obedient, but they tempted me, and they promised me wealth that I could never have dreamed of, and a very high position, I am not because of their threats, I am tempted by the conditions they have given, this is really the truth, it is the truth." ”

After Chester finished speaking, the basement suddenly fell silent, several people in the adventure group, even including the mayor of the village and old Duck and McWillin, all of them were silent, Pannis squinted, and the smile on his face was very strange: "So, for these temptations, you reached out to the people who love you?"

"No, I didn't. Chester retorted loudly: "Betty didn't choose me then, she can't be considered someone who loves me." ”

"That's right. Pannis clapped his hands and asked, "How could those people only tempt you?" ”

"They created a lot of opportunities for me. Under Vivien's clear gaze, Chester didn't dare to hide: "It was only in these three months that I used these opportunities to impress Betty and make her choose mine in the end. ”

"These people are strange, too. Catherine said with some doubts: "Obviously, a simple threat may be able to do it, but I prefer to choose temptation, and I will do such a complicated thing to cooperate with him later, is it necessary?"

"If necessary, I'll explain it to you. Pannis patted Chester's broken leg and let out another scream: "Look, since you've come to this point, you might as well tell all your plans." (To be continued.) )
