Chapter 11: The Truth
The priest thought very well that not only was there a sticky net on the window, but as soon as the sticky net on the window was touched, a sticky net would appear underneath and cover the entire area around the window. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
So, no matter what, as soon as you step out of the room, you will touch the surrounding sticky nets, and then a lot of sticky nets will appear, covering the surrounding area.
No wonder the priest dared not to set up other defenses around the apartment, it turned out that all the defenses were in the dark, not that there was none, but that they could not be seen, and if they could not see nature, they could not prevent it, and they would be more able to catch the trespasser by surprise.
Eric was caught in the sticky net on the window and reminded Li Yiheng, but it was too late, Li Yiheng had already jumped out, and after landing, he and Eric were caught in the sticky net arranged outside the window.
After the two of them were caught by the sticky net, they left the ground, as if they were lifted up by something, and went up to the height of the third floor. Immediately afterward, the sticky net had no intention of staying at all, and through a one-meter-square passage, the two of them were transported to an unknown place.
After Li Yiheng and Eric landed, the sticky net automatically loosened them, and their movement was no longer restricted, but the place was dark and dark. Eric felt for the flint and steel he was carrying, and found that the place they were in now was a secret room, small and boxy.
"What kind of place is this?" asked Li Yiheng, looking around.
"I don't know. Eric collected the flint and steel, and it was pitch black again. Eric sat down on the spot, and pulled Li Yiheng to signal him to sit down first, "But it should still be in the priest's apartment." ”
Speaking of priests, the anger in Li Yiheng's heart came up again, "What are you hiding from me?"
In the darkness, Eric sighed, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, because I only have a rough conjecture myself, and I don't have a definite conclusion. I saw the scene in the basement just now, and my suspicions were confirmed. ”
"Guess?" Li Yiheng asked coldly, "To be clear, I don't like to listen to nonsense. ”
In the darkness, Eric sighed heavily again and told Li Yiheng the whole story.
It turns out that there have been cases of missing babies all the time in Flatu. Later, the priest came forward and said that the babies were taken away by the water monsters, and the reason why the water monsters attacked the city was because he wanted to catch the babies to eat, so he came up with a way to sacrifice the babies to the water monsters.
However, Eric felt that there was something wrong with what the priest said, that the water monsters were right to attack the city, but although the time lost by those babies was very similar to the time of each time the water monsters attacked the city, it did not exactly coincide. He wanted to refute the priest, but at that time the priest had already made out the glass cover and the black fog outside, and successfully stopped several attacks of the water monster, the people of the city were very grateful to the priest, and the lord of the city was also grateful to the priest, and no one would listen to Eric.
At that time, Eric was already suspecting that the monster siege, although it was a fact, was a cover for the loss of the baby. The real reason for the disappearance of the baby is not necessarily related to the water monster, it is likely that the sacrifice is playing ghosts.
Later, Eric instructed his people to follow the priest quietly, and found that the priest often went out alone when the monster attacked. And according to some people's recollections, before the glass enclosure was built, there were also people who looked like priests walking alone through the city when the water monster attacked.
The priest seems to have noticed that someone is following him, and he can always get rid of those who follow him, so Eric has never had any substantial evidence. Even if he judged from what he had to know that the priest had stolen the babies, he could not identify the priest.
At the same time, the priest's proposal to sacrifice babies to the water monster has not stopped, and a month ago, it had already been sacrificed to the water monster once, and that time it was also two children. The two children were placed on an altar more than 30 meters high outside the glass cover, and they must not have imagined that such a small altar was the place where their lives ended.
This time, Li Yiheng, a Gajie man, suddenly broke in, so the sacrifice had to be interrupted. For the city of Fulatu, the Gaj's intrusion is a big deal, especially when the Gaj's also destroyed the sacrifice, if the Gaj's people can't be caught, the water monster will be even more angry.
Eric knew that the priest would not rest on his laurels, so he had to expose the priest before he could be found. Otherwise, once the Gajs are found, the sacrifice will begin again, and those innocent children will still be taken to the sacrifice.
However, he is only the son of the city lord, not the city lord, so he can't do many things, so he needs someone to help him. It just so happened that Ramiel's family provided him with Li Yiheng's news, so he thought of cooperating with Li Yiheng.
Because in the matter of sacrificing the water monster with a baby, he and Li Yiheng are the same, both in attitude and action. He asks Li Yiheng to help him find the truth, and he is responsible for keeping Li Yiheng safe until he leaves Furatu safely.
"Why do you make me believe in you again?" In the dark, Li Yiheng's voice was cold, and the scene in the basement kept flickering in front of his eyes, "You tell me, why do you make me believe in a person who watched innocent children fall into the boiling wax and was indifferent?"
"I'm sorry. Eric's voice was full of helplessness, "I didn't mean to hide it from you. ”
Li Yiheng tried to calm down for a long time before he asked, "You said that those children are useless even if they are rescued, what do you mean?"
"The child just looked like he was alive, but his heart and brain were gone. Eric's voice was mixed with a few choked words, "In our legend, there is a secret method of using a baby's heart and brain to make medicine, which can prolong life and eternal youth. And the children whose hearts and brains are gouged out and put into the hot wax to melt their bodies can harvest their resentment, which is the black mist. And because babies are still young, they have no basic concepts and distinctions between good and evil, and they will only completely obey the people who control them, and if the controller wants them to harm others, they will harm others, and if the controller wants them to help others, they will help others. ”
"Is that black fog outside also the baby's grievance?" Li Yiheng thought of the black fog giant baby who had surrounded him outside, "Do you rely on music to control them?"
"Music is just one of them," Eric shook his head in the dark, "but it's the most common method. Or a melody, or a bell, or something else. Those black fogs outside, I only know that they are black fogs, is it also the resentment of those babies?"
"It should be. Li Yiheng replied, "When I came here, I was surrounded by the Black Mist Giant Baby, and it was only by a melody played by Xiao Ji that they were restrained. When I first saw them, they were black fog, but then the melody restrained them and gradually moved away, and I could see that they were babies, like the one I had just seen in the basement. ”
"Bang Bang Bang-"
A burst of applause came up from nowhere, forming an echo in this closed room, and the echo hit Li Yiheng's eardrums, although it was not very loud, but it was very annoying. "Since you're here, why hide your head and show your tail?"
"Want to provoke me?" "I don't know where it sounded, but it was full of laughter, "Don't provoke me, play with me, you're not qualified enough." ”
"It's not up to you to decide whether you're qualified or not. Li Yiheng responded coldly, "If you don't come out, I know who you are, and we all know about you." I know you may say we don't have evidence, but you should also know that there are some things that don't necessarily have to be proof. Think about it, what will the citizens think of you if your business is shaken out? Of course, you can choose to kill us, but before you do that, it's best to weigh the consequences. ”
Li Yiheng's words are right, killing Li Yiheng and a Gajie person is naturally nothing, but Eric is the only son of the city lord, and he can't move.
The so-called tiger poison does not eat children, and even if the city lord no longer likes Eric, he will never allow others to hurt Eric. What's more, the city lord's attitude towards Eric now is more angry, angry at how this son doesn't understand his hard work for the city, and he still values Eric this son very much.
Taking a step back, if Eric was really killed, would the city lord give up easily? How his own son treats himself is a matter between father and son, but how others treat it is of a very different nature.
At that time, the lord of the city will only try to find out who killed his son by all means. He is the lord of the city, the master of the city, and the consequences at that time really can't be weighed.
"Hmph, stay here for a while!" the voice finally snorted, and then it didn't sound again.
Li sat down and asked Eric, "Do you know this voice? Is it a priest?" I don't hear the same voice as I heard it in the basement. ”
"Not so sure. Eric's voice was full of suspicion, obviously suspicious, but not very sure.
"Tell me about it. In the dark, Li Yi played with Xiao Yi's feathers, "Who do you suspect?"
Eric was silent and didn't speak again, and it took a long time before he whispered, "There's no evidence, and I'm not quite sure. ”
Li Yiheng wanted to ask again, but Eric didn't want to mention this again, "Is there any way to get out?" Eric's voice was full of, different from the suspicion just now, it seemed that he had determined who that person was, but he didn't want to mention it.
"I don't know. Eric's words made Li Yiheng a little dissatisfied, but thinking about Eric's appearance, I am afraid that he is a person who is very close to him, and he also kept silent and stopped mentioning that person, "Wait and see Lamir there." ”
