"I, I, I, I said I said, don't kick me. Chester had already hid in a corner, and cried, "After Betty chose me, and the day before yesterday, when the men told me that the time was almost up, I told her that there was a relative who lived in a big city in the north, and wanted me to go there, and I could take her with me." She had long wanted to go to the north to live, and was very happy to hear my promise, but she wanted to tell Uncle Duck that my plans would be ruined, so I used the previous example of Uncle Duck who prevented her from going to the north, saying that if she said it, she would definitely be stopped again, and she would not be able to go with me. She believed it, and didn't know what to do, so I taught her to leave a note for Uncle Duck and bring her here. ”

"In the upper room, I knocked her unconscious, and then I put her in the secret room, and tore off her thighs with the tools of the prey, and she woke up in pain so many times that I did not dare to listen to her, so I blocked my ears with cotton. Finally I tore her leg off, locked her in a secret room by herself, changed her clothes, and went to the morning group therapy rally. After the rally, I dragged Uncle Duck so that he didn't have a chance to go home, and when it came to the dinner party, I deliberately drunk Uncle Duck so that he wouldn't find out that Betty was missing in advance. ”

"When I sent Uncle Darke home, I went straight to Neo's house, didn't you guess it, I killed Neo in the wild, threw Betty's leg aside, and mixed some of Betty's luggage with Neo's to make a disguise that they ran away together, and then returned here, waiting for Uncle Duck to find out the fact that Betty was missing the next day. ”

"I don't quite understand. Catherine asked, "You hurt Betty, but you were tempted by those two ghouls, but why did you kill Neo again? That's a good friend you grew up with, and you yourself say that you are closer than your own brother, and this matter has nothing to do with him, why do you want to involve him?"

"I'm going to make everyone think Betty is walking with him. So that people don't doubt me. At this point, Chester no longer held on to his luck, and replied directly: "I have to be in town for a few more days, so I want to create an environment where no suspicion is taken." That's why I came up with such a plan. First guide everyone to think that they have run away from home, if everyone doesn't have any suspicion, it will be easy, if everyone has doubts, I will induce them to look for Neo's body, and after finding it. They would mistakenly think that Betty and Neo had died tragically by encountering wild beasts, and no one would suspect me. ”

"It's a good plan. Catherine nodded, "However, since you have already gained a lot of wealth and status, why do you have to stay in the town? ”

"They said that the ceremony would not be completed until six days had passed, and that if my actions were found out in the middle of the process, it would cause the ceremony to fail, causing a lot of damage to their church, and not only would I not get the money. And I will be punished with the severest punishment. That's why I'm going to take everyone's attention away from me and Betty as much as possible, so that I can have enough time for the ritual. I didn't want to do it at first, but they reminded me to find a way to look away, so I chose this method. ”

"Oh, by the way, use specific people in a certain range. Catherine patted her forehead and said, "In that case, I don't have any problems, do you have any other questions?" If there are still problems, it is best to raise them now. ”

"There's something I'd like to ask him privately. Pannis's explanation just now made the old father feel more and more frightened the more he listened. He didn't want to imagine what his daughter had experienced, but all kinds of imagination couldn't help but appear in his mind, but the unique perseverance of the Snow Plains and his habitual reverence for high-level professionals made him barely suppress the angry impulse in his heart, and only then did he clench his fists and say, "I want to ask him." What is there about her daughter who is sorry for her, so that he can be so cruel to her. ”

"You better ask one last time later, I'm afraid that you will ask him to death now, and he is still a little useful now, and he can't let you ask for death so soon. Pannis said, "Catherine, have you brought anything here?"

Catherine silently took out Betty's stump and handed it to Lina. Lina took it and looked at it repeatedly, glanced at Old Duck again, sighed and pouted, "I'll do my best, but ...... Forget it, let's talk about it after a while, by the way, eldest sister, this is for you, I took it down below, those things of the divine servants, it seems that they are used to stop bleeding quickly, in order to prevent the human pillar from dying due to excessive blood loss, there should be a supporting drug, which is to stimulate the spirit of the human pillar, so that they will not die of pain, and they will not be able to fall into a coma and madness to avoid the pain. But I didn't find those, and I don't really want to find them. I'll go down first, do any of you want to go down with me? Be mentally prepared before you go down. But forget about men, her current appearance is inconvenient for men to see. ”

"I'll go. The more solemn Lina said, the more no one wanted to go, only Aiwa, who wanted to observe human nature, followed Lina: "I don't know a lot of things I saw today, I hope the following things can deepen my understanding of today." ”

"Unfortunately, I'm afraid it will only confuse you even more. Lina didn't stop her, but climbed down the ladder of the secret room and reminded in advance: "I know you want to understand human nature, but you must remember that this person has been overwhelmed by greed and desire, in fact, he has completely lost his humanity, and observing his behavior does not make you understand human nature more deeply." ”

The secret room is located very deep underground, and although the two people who died were ghouls, after all, they were legendary professionals when they were alive, and it was not difficult to build such a secret room in three months using earth attribute magic. The two climbed the ladder all the way to the bottom, and Lina held up the lantern and walked down the tunnel, soon reaching the underground chamber. It was pitch black in the chamber, and this ordinary fuel-powered lantern could only illuminate a small location. However, with the light of the oil lamp, Lina walked around the four walls of the chamber and lit several crystal lanterns on the walls at the same time, making the chamber brighter.

The layout of the secret room is very strange, and the walls in all directions are carved with a large number of various magic circles, and the dark red magic circle exudes a strange atmosphere. In the center of the chamber is a marble altar, the circle around the altar is the densest, but there are no circles engraved on the altar.

There was a person lying on the altar, it should be a young girl from the shape, her limbs were spread, her limbs were intact and were nailed to the altar by dozens of long nails, the root of the only remaining thigh of the severed limbs was also nailed to death by the long nails, and even her torso was pierced by more than a dozen long nails, the parts of the nails were selected accurately, just avoiding all internal organs, and in addition to bringing pain, it would not cause any substantial damage. The magic equipment that Lina took off before to stop bleeding can effectively stop the bleeding of the wound caused by the spike, so that any small movement of the nailed person will bring great pain, but it will not be truly fatal.

Anchored to the altar was apparently Betty, who had been made into a human pillar, and her head was the only body part that had not been nailed, though an iron hoop attached to the altar was tightly clamped around her forehead, preventing her from even moving her head. Betty's eyes had been gouged out, her mouth had been stretched open by a huge iron ring, her tongue had been pulled out and cut off, the corners of her mouth had cracked a little, and not only that, but a deep wound had been cut in her neck, which had cut her vocal cords accurately, not only could she not say a word, but it was difficult for her to even moan.

One of her stretched limbs was one of the arms that was very strangely shaped, and a closer examination revealed that every bone in this arm had been crushed in detail, not even the fingers. And judging from the shape of the broken bones, these bones were not directly smashed, but were broken little by little by tools such as large iron tongs, it is estimated that time does not allow, and the remaining arms and legs have not been poisoned, which is a blessing in misfortune.

On Betty's body, a small trap net was tightly covered, made of thin but tough wire, and each wire was close to Betty's body, so that her skin and muscles were stretched into a diamond-shaped protrusion of two square centimeters, and the abuser used the hunter's steady hand to handle the prey, slowly but delicately cut off these bulges, and the cut skin and muscles were discarded around the altar at will. At the same time, the magic equipment and the accompanying medicine played their own role, effectively preventing the death of the human pillar, and only soberly enduring all the pain in the process.

And judging from the situation at the scene, this act was obviously carried out more than once, Betty almost no longer had any skin and body surface fat on the front of her body, and the muscles had been cut off several layers, and some non-lethal parts were almost faintly visible under the white bones under the muscles. But even so, her remaining muscles still occasionally flicked slightly, and she let out a faint gasp from her open mouth, and it was clear that she was not only alive, but also awake.

Betty had lost her eyes and couldn't see anything, but her hearing was still intact. Apparently Lina had spoken to her when she entered, so she didn't show fear at this time, but the frequency of muscle beats was noticeably higher, and some blood seeped out of the bare muscles from the wound that had already stopped bleeding.
