Chapter 153: God's Whip
Consciousness is going to get out of control. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wandering through the dirty streets of the slums of Jedon, Augustus had no time to pay attention to the fearful, curious, or evasive glances of the ragged passers-by around him, and he had to do everything possible to ensure the existence of his consciousness at this time, otherwise he would fall on the dirty streets at any time and never get up again under the scorching sun. This is undoubtedly a rather painful torture, because in this case Augustus can only keep him awake through pain, at first, Augustus has been biting his tongue and lips to create pain, but it didn't take long for him to find that his lips and tongue gradually numb, this pain can no longer support his consciousness, so he can only use his last strength to pinch his arm to create new pain, the effect can not be said to be nothing, but it is minimal, Augustus's residual consciousness also makes him very clear, if he wants to support him all the way to a safe place through this method, it can only be impossible。
But there's really no other way.
Augustus walked all the way to the end of a street, holding on to the scarred wall, he gasped, and then regained a little poor strength, he slowly stood up straight, biting his lip, he used his hands to tightly strangle the bright red bandage on his abdomen, causing the wound to squeeze strongly, stimulated by blood, the almost painful pain finally made him have a clear consciousness again, in the course of this series of movements, although his pale face was almost distorted, his brows were furrowed at all, but from beginning to end, he did not make the slightest sound, no matter how difficult and difficult his breathing was during the period。
He gasped for a long time before he walked again.
In exchange for sobriety in such a cruel and masochistic way, I am afraid that he can only do it as a madman.
As the sight grew wider and less open, and there were fewer and fewer buildings, Augustus began to realize that he was about to step out of the civilian area of Jedon.
There is really no goal where to go, but since he can't go back and can't stop, he can only go all the way.
It's just that, dragging such a bruised body, how long and how far can he go?
You can abuse yourself now, but what about when you don't even have the strength to abuse yourself?
Perhaps Augustus himself did not think about this terrible and real problem.
He walked out of the Yedun civilian area and appeared outside the imperial capital, and to some surprise, outside the city turned out to be a wilderness, which was simply two extremes of the bustling imperial capital, and if it weren't for the fact that he could clearly see a strange lonely building standing on a dirt slope in front of him, Augustus would almost think that this was his dying hallucination.
He tried to look at the building, which occupies a large area, from his point of view, the appearance of the building is mottled and dilapidated, obviously it has been eroded by countless winds and rains over the years, and then looking at the architectural form, Augustus suddenly faintly felt that this should be a monastery belonging to the Holy See.
But how could there be such a ruined monastery outside the imperial capital?
How could the Holy See allow this monastery to decay?
Augustus, who had seriously degraded his thinking ability, would definitely not find the answer, but it didn't take long for him to decide to walk towards the mottled monastery, which was not what he said the more dangerous the place, the safer it was, Augustus really couldn't think so far at this time, but he lost too much blood, he was too weak, and the scorching sun caused his dizziness frequency to increase more and more, of course he knew that he had reached the limit, and if he didn't find a place to stop his steps, not to mention the night watchman who didn't know when he would catch up behind him, the scorching sun in the sky alone was enough to make him completely lose his life。
He climbed the dirt slope with difficulty, fell to the ground as soon as he appeared in front of the monastery door, and then climbed almost all the way to the dilapidated door of the monastery, and just as he tried to reach out and try to knock on the door, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the stone tablet next to the door, and the four large blurred characters carved on the stone tablet also came directly into his eyes.
"The whip of God. ”
Of course, Augustus didn't know what these four words meant, but it was these four words that made him smile abruptly and bitterly, and it was ridiculous that a funny thought suddenly arose, as if no matter how much human beings struggled, they could not struggle with God's palm.
He looked back at the wooden door, then stretched out his hand.
But before he could knock, the door suddenly opened.
A woman dressed in a splendid blue costume and out of place with this dilapidated monastery appeared in his field of vision without warning.
Augustus looked up in astonishment, and when he saw the woman's face, he suddenly narrowed his eyes.
He knew her.
But how did she end up here?
Before he could think about it, Augustus, who was so weak to the limit, suddenly saw a burst of darkness in front of him, and could no longer open his eyes.
......
Just before Augustus fell into a coma.
The Messiah who finally left the dark and lonely world did not leave the Jedon slum for the first time, she was still standing there, looking at the traces of blood left by him when he fled on the ground, but in her heart she was puzzled and thinking about a series of questions, she couldn't figure it out, she couldn't figure out why in his world, he had an absolute advantage, and he was completely capable of seriously injuring or even killing her, he gave up on doing it instead? And then about her cross necklace, when the Messiah came to his senses, of course, he could quickly notice that the necklace around her neck had been taken away by him, what did it mean? It basically meant that he was fully capable of taking her head at that time, not as simple as the necklace, but why did he still give up? Was it really just to buy time to escape, or to flee in a hurry? Of course this is impossible, after all, if you kill her, you can also leave.
But why did he give up one after another?
Benevolent?
Or is she worried that her death will make the Inquisition even more reluctant to let him go?
The Messiah, who had some understanding of the heresy, felt that neither of these were the causes, because he was a cold-blooded man, he was a madman himself, how could he be merciful, how could he have such scruples before he died?
The Messiah could not figure it out, and could not find the answer at all, and finally realized that he could only let him say it himself.
She withdrew her bow and arrows, following the trail of blood on the ground, and she continued to follow his footsteps.
Of course, it wasn't for the answer she wanted, and if it was said that she had been fighting him for the sake of a mission, then now she was even more determined to find him, and it was entirely for the cross necklace he had taken.
The necklace was important, even more important than her life.
She had to find him anyway.
......
There was another person who had to find him.
Located in the east of the imperial capital, the Stamford district is a prosperous area emerging in the imperial capital in recent years, where there are at least large and small emerging aristocrats who can be used on the table of the imperial capital, and the biggest difference between the old aristocrats and the old aristocrats living in the Zhuoluo district is that the architectural planning of the Stanford district is really more gorgeous and spectacular than the Zhuoluo district, which may be because of the relative weakness of a certain identity and power, resulting in the big names in the Stanford district can only show their importance in this way, or they may try to take an alternative way to prove their existence to the old noble district of Zhuoluo, in short, no one can deny the rise of the Stanford district in recent years, and no one dares to destroy the power and majesty embodied here, because to a certain extent, the rise and fall of the families in the Stanford area itself symbolizes the alternation of power within the empire.
But today, Stanford welcomed two uninvited guests.
A young girl, an old man, without a carriage with them, stepped into the soil of Stanford on foot.
They obviously had a definite destination, appeared on the streets of the Stamford district, and along the way, they finally appeared directly in front of the door of the Viscount Atlante's mansion, knocked on the door, and it happened to be the butler of the Atlante's mansion who opened the door, and the girl who walked in front was reserved and carrying her skirt, and then implicitly indicated that she was looking for the heir of the Viscount of Atlante, Master Totty.
The housekeeper was puzzled, but soon put on a professional smile, although he didn't know or seen the girl, but there was such a beautiful and elegant young lady who took the initiative to look for his young master, it must be a thing worthy of his young master's happiness, what reason was there to stop such a beautiful young lady?
He asked the servant to inform his young master, and with a smile he ushered the guest into the mansion of the Viscount of Atlante.
Walking to the door of the main hall of the Viscount's Palace, the bloated Young Master Totti had already greeted him.
His nose was still ridiculously red and swollen, setting off his fat face, which was really funny, but this did not affect Young Master Totti's bright smile, especially when he saw the girl's beautiful face, his smile became even brighter, and he took a few steps to meet him, and when he was less than 10 steps away from Miss Beauty, Totti suddenly felt that the girl seemed to be a little familiar, and then wondered and thought about it, and suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand to point at the girl, he smiled no more, his eyes widened, his face was frightened and angry, he stammered, aren't you the one who has been standing next to Her Royal Highness Sophia at the banquet the night beforeIs the sister of the sinner from the wasteland?
The girl is still calm, and her good cultivation makes her not mind Young Master Totti's faux pas, she lifts her skirt elegantly, and says calmly, Yes.
Then she said, "I have come to look for my brother Augustus, may I ask you, did you see him after leaving the dinner?"
Young Master Totti was excited, he almost didn't jump up, the pain and sourness that came from the red and swollen nose all the time was his biggest torment in the past two days, he always wanted to take revenge but didn't dare, now it's okay, the sister of that damn criminal actually dared to come to the door? Or did he only bring an old man over who didn't know whether he was alive or dead? If they were to leave easily, how would Young Master Totti still be in the imperial capital in the future?
"Take them down, kill the old one, and leave that woman behind!"
Even the excited Young Master Totti was proud that he could still keep a clear head under such excitement.
He had even seen the merciless and cruel revenge that was about to take place in the big bed.
It has to be as cruel as it gets. (To be continued.) )
