Lina had been talking below, but above, she had fallen into a dead silence that brought a heavy pressure. Although the distance was not far, no one spoke, everyone sat or stood, each thinking about their own thoughts, and did not say a word to each other, and in the whole basement, only Chester dragged two broken legs, lying on his side in a corner of the basement, and let out a faint moan.

"I still don't understand. After being silent for a long time, Catherine seemed unwilling to continue to be embarrassed under such pressure, and took the initiative to provoke the topic and said: "Even if someone coerces and justifies, how can anyone be willing to hurt a woman who loves him deeply and loves herself, judging from Lina's performance just now, the hurt is not ordinary deep, how can he do this?"

"Wealth and status that you can't dream of, hehe. Pannis pouted and said, "Isn't that enough? money, status, life, the three things that can make people crazy have all been gathered." Especially money, how many people in history have killed each other because of small money, so in comparison, his behavior is not so unreasonable. ”

"Money is a good thing. Catherine gritted her teeth and said, "But what money should be taken and what money should not be taken, he ......"

"Everyone knows what to take and what not to take, but if everyone can do what they know, I am afraid that there will be more than half of the crimes in the world. Pannis sneered and pouted at the painful Chestanunu: "There will always be some people like him, who first lose their minds in greedy desires, and then are seduced step by step by those evil god believers, and gradually fall into the madness of losing their humanity, so some people say, golden coin, how many people have you made you intoxicated, but under your bright and dazzling appearance, there is a dark red blood light." ”

Catherine sighed at the aria line that Pannis read out, avoiding the topic: "Pannis. The human pillar ceremony you just mentioned, if you save the sacrifices like us, will it be considered a success in destroying their ritual?"

"It depends on where their ritual goes, if Betty hasn't completely collapsed. It means that the ritual has not been completed, so it is considered a successful destruction. Pannis explained, "If Betty has collapsed, it means that the ritual has been completed, and no matter how much it is destroyed, it is useless." However, the beast just said that it would be a few more days. Those people shouldn't lie to him in this regard, so it's likely that the ritual hasn't fully started yet, so let's consider it a successful sabotage. Well, by the way, it should be that the ceremony has not started yet, after all, this beast is fine and has nothing to do. ”

"Oh?" Catherine asked, raising her eyebrows, her eyes rolling over Chester, and smiling, "Are you saying that if the ceremony is over, nothing good will happen to this beast?"

"Then it depends on what level of human power is needed for the ritual. Pannis kicked Chester in the leg. He sneered and said, "If you want to maximize the power of the human pillar, then he is also essential, but most evil god believers will not do this unless necessary, after all, if you always do this, no one will be tempted by them." However, in this case, since that group of people attaches more importance to this ceremony and has made sufficient preparations in the early stage, they should not let go of this opportunity to strengthen the power of the human pillar. Hey, beasts. They said they didn't say how long it had been in preparation, six months, three months, or a year?"

"I don't know, I don't know. Chester clutched his head and wailed, "They never mentioned it, I really don't know." ”

"It's okay, don't be afraid. I just asked casually, I didn't think you would know. Pannis said, "If we do the math, if we first encountered the Evil God Sacrifice, it was more than a year ago in the City of Knowledge, and then we saw it many times in the City of Innocence, but we all failed. If it is said. If they turned to the human pillar ceremony because of the failure of the sacrifice, it should have been prepared for more than half a year, more than half a year, and it was a preparation within the scope of the whole Yala, and they should not let him go. A greedy and crazy soul is paired with a soul of pain and despair, so that it can be considered a perfect human pillar. If you think about it this way, we are also very lucky, we actually happened to meet it, and it destroyed the ritual of the divine servants, if those gods knew, hehe, it is estimated that they will be mad. ”

"It's a shame. Freya pulled a chair and sat down in front of Chester, shook her head, and said, "We should let him be dealt with before we can sabotage the ritual so that he can enjoy it too, right, Mr. Chester." ”

"Freya. Catherine, even if she was angry in her heart, could hardly accept Freya's thoughts, and frowned and said, "If you do this, we will be no different from this person." ”

"Okay, okay, big sister, I know. Freya said, "I'm joking, don't be so serious. Speaking of which, why hasn't Lina come up yet, it's been so long, it seems that Betty's situation is a little more complicated. ”

She said it would need to last at least until tomorrow morning. Eva crawled out of the tunnels of the chamber and spoke for Lina, "Because it's been too long, Mayor Mare and Duck can go back and rest for a while, staying here is not only a hindrance, but also a disappointment." But I think she's saying that you're getting older, and you might not be able to support it for too long, and there's no point in staying here, so it's better to wait until tomorrow morning to come back. ”

"How's that going down?" asked Catherine, "Is there anything we could help with?"

"There's a circle carved down there, but I've broken it. Eva said, "As for helping, I guess there is no help, I want to help and she has caught up with her." By the way, she said that she must leave Chester first, and she hoped to hand him over to Betty to deal with, which could be regarded as allowing Betty to relieve the pressure in her heart. ”

"Well, we'll take a good look at him and won't let him run away. Catherine glanced at Chester, then at Old Duck with an expectant face, and nodded: "Betty's state is fine, in terms of life safety." ”

"Not life-threatening, but the injuries are serious. Eva's small eyebrows furrowed, and a rare stiff expression appeared on her delicate face: "But I look at the following situation and feel even more confused, human nature is really a strange thing, the same human beings, some people can be very kind, but some people can do such strange things." ”

"So you can't use the logic of the past to understand human nature, only when you have human nature, can you really understand what human nature is. Catherine stood up and walked towards the secret passage: "I'd better go down and see, I've never seen her treated for so long, what the hell is going on." ”

Catherine climbed down the ladder into the chamber and saw the various circles destroyed on the walls, as well as Lina who was busy hunched over in front of the altar. Lina crouched above Betty, heard the familiar footsteps, and didn't even need to raise her head to know who the person behind her was: "Sister, you still came down, remember to leave Chester alive when you go up." ”

"Why do you suddenly say something like this, oh my God. Catherine took a few steps to the side, saw Betty's miserable condition, covered her mouth and let out an irrepressible low cry: "This, this, this is all done by that Chester?"

"That's why I said that. Lina's hands were covered with blood, and her fingers moved piecemeal on Betty's shattered arm bones, and she was piecing together the broken bones little by little: "Don't worry, she won't die, but the workload is a little bigger." ”

In front of Catherine, Lina's magic book was floating above Betty's body and moving slowly back and forth, and a pale yellow beam of light shot out from the magic book, continuously shining on the front of Betty's body. Betty's limbs were still nailed to the altar, and even the iron hoop on her head and the metal ring in her mouth were put back on, and she struggled frantically on the altar under the light, but her whole body was immobilized and she couldn't move, only the bloody muscles kept bouncing, like a pile of wriggling pieces of meat.

"Why are you doing this?" asked Catherine curiously, "Why are you still holding her in place like this?"

"Denya's light will make her muscles and skin grow quickly, big sister, remember how it felt when the wound healed. Lina explained: "You see that she would rather endure the pain than struggle violently now, if she is not fixed, she will scratch frantically because of the intense itching, and it is estimated that even the internal organs will be scratched out, so it is better not to let her go first." ”

Catherine sighed, watched for a while, felt that she couldn't stand the exciting scene, turned around and said, "Thank you, Lina, I'd better go up first, the impact this time is indeed a bit big." Rest assured, I promise I'll leave Chester alive for you, he really ...... It's no longer a person. ”

"It's not for me, it's for her. Lina patted Betty, who was squirming, on the top of her head, and said in a low voice: "Otherwise, the treatment process will be too painful, and I will lose this motivation, and I am afraid that her mental support will not be over until the treatment is over." Look Betty, your hatred needs to be solved by you personally, and we will not help you solve it, so keep going, if you can't hold on halfway, Chester will be let go. ”

Hearing Lina's words, Betty's body suddenly stiffened, and Catherine could see that the amplitude and frequency of her physical struggle had become significantly smaller, and she wanted to complete the treatment faster despite the pain. Sometimes, negative emotions such as hatred and anger can indeed stimulate people's will to survive to a certain extent. Catherine shook her head, sighed, couldn't bear to look at Betty anymore, and left the secret room silently. (To be continued.) )
