023 Feast of Blood

In the early morning forest, the air is very fresh, a breath seems to feel that the whole body has been cleansed, the rising sun hangs high in the sky, and the sunlight on the first floor shines directly, adding a bit of fantasy to the forest.

At this time, the forest was a little damp, and the leaves and petals were condensed with dewdrops, so I walked through the forest, moving forward step by step, relaxing my hands, extinguishing my holy power, and trying to restrain my hostility and existence.

All the way to the depths.

After walking for about an hour, it seems that you have entered the depths of the forest, surrounded by red and willow green, and in the distance, several ancient trees that are obviously more than a thousand years old are towering, and the roots are exposed and intertwined, giving people a sense of unbreakability.

In the center of these super-trees, a clear lake appeared.

I couldn't help but be a little curious about the lake that suddenly appeared in the forest, so I walked over, squatted by the lake, washed my face, and then slowly leaned against a big tree and closed my eyes as if enjoying it.

It seems that I am a little tired after walking for so long, so let's take a little rest.

Click...... Click......

Heavy footsteps stepped over the dead branches, the grass, and then, a woman dressed in a nun's costume appeared.

Only then did I slowly open my eyes and smile, "Long time no see, Sister Eyre." ”

The latter was like a frightened rabbit, panicking and trying to escape, I immediately struck, threw an enchantment to trap the other party in place, and then got up and walked in front of the other party.

"I hate talking to you like this if it weren't for the last resort, but if I remove the barrier, you'll definitely run, Sister El. ”

Sister Al bowed her head, as if acquiescing to my words.

I continued, "Did you catalyze the monster I encountered yesterday? ”

Goddess Elxiu looked at me with a complicated look and finally nodded.

I already had a guess about this, so I was not surprised, but continued to ask, "Sister Al, if you can, please tell me where the monster is now." “

This time, Sister Al did not answer immediately, but was silent for a moment before looking at me decisively, "He's not a monster, he's my lover, Paul!"

I shook my head and said, "I admire the relationship between you, but the other party is a monster, not a human. ”

I'm not cold-blooded, but I know very well that if I leave it unchecked here, it will definitely give birth to more cups, and the reason why monsters are called monsters is because they have no intelligence, no reason, and will only attack humans with instinct, so they must be destroyed.

It's not something that personal feelings can decide whether to kill or stay.

"Please don't have any last name, Sister El. ”

"It's not a matter of Ren's surname, he's my lover, it's my Paul, he's ...... He's come to his senses again!!"

I was struck by her last words, monster, Paul...... Got back to your senses?

What happens at this time?

Reluctantly suppressing my somewhat wavering mind, I casually eliminated the enchantment and whispered, "Can you guarantee that what you said is true, Sister El, that monster...... No, did your Paul really come to his senses?"

"Yes, it's true. Sister Al nodded frantically.

"Where is he. ”

"I hid him in a safe place where no one could find him. ”

"Take me to him, I have to see it with my own eyes. "I've never heard of monsters coming back to their senses, what the hell is going on, and I feel like I should meet Paul.

Then, before making a conclusion.

Sister Al looked at me warily, "Can you not hurt him, Yan Xiaobei." ”

"If he really came to his senses. ”

Sister Al just wanted to nod, but suddenly thought of something and asked, "Yan Xiaobei, if Paul is sensible, you won't hurt him, you can let him be with me." ”

I was a little embarrassed and said, "It's not something I can decide as a trainee, I need to ask for advice." ”

Immediately after, I opened the communicator that Sister Alos gave me before the mission began, and contacted Sister Alos on it, and after the virtual screen popped up, the other party seemed to be doing something, and I couldn't see anything clearly in the haze, but the voice came out clearly.

"Is it Lily? I'm sorry, I'm in the shower, just say something. ”

......

"What's the matter, why don't you speak, Lily. ”

"I'm sorry, Sister Alos, it's me, Yan Xiaobei. ”

......

......

"Shame on you!" coldly threw down this sentence, the other party decisively cut off the contact, I felt that my face was hot, I didn't dare to look at Sister El beside me, my eyes were desperately staring at my toes.

Ha ha...... Haha......

Sister Al laughed a few times to ease the atmosphere, "Well, you can't be blamed for this, some misunderstandings are unavoidable, there will always be accidents, right?"

"Yes, yes. "I hated myself for not being able to speak at this time, I just said yes, yes, yes, yes, and there was no follow-up, which made the atmosphere more and more embarrassing.

Thankfully, at this very moment, the communicator trickled up, and when it was connected, the virtual screen popped up again, and this time Sister Alos's tense face took up the entire screen, she seemed to be angry, her eyes looked at me coldly, her lips squirmed a few times, and she said something even more embarrassing.

"It's hard to believe, I didn't give you the communicator to let you peep at me taking a bath, Yan Xiaobei apprentice!"

So, I definitely didn't mean to peek at you taking a shower.

However, the other party didn't give me a chance to explain, "Say, what is the matter with me this time, Yan Xiaobei trainee." ”

The cold and hard way of speaking feels like the goodwill that has been accumulated with great difficulty, and all of it has been cleared at once, and even the favorability has dropped to a negative number.

Well, here's how it happened, I went to Sister Eyre, and she said...... "Tell me a little bit about it, and I'll ask you what to do now."

"Did you regain your senses at this time?" Sister Alos muttered for a moment, and then said categorically: "Apprentice Yan Xiaobei, I have an order I want to convey to you, please remember it." ”

"Okay. ”

"Next, please kill Paul at all costs!!"

"Sister Alos, you mean to kill Paul." ”

"Yes, at all costs, even if you gamble your life, you will never allow Paul to see the sun every day, please be sure to completely eliminate Paul, so that his existence will disappear completely. ”

This order was completely unexpected by me, and before I could open my mouth, Sister El beside me rushed up as if she was crazy, "Why, Sister Alothe, why did you give such an order, why did you kill Paul, he ...... He's come to his senses, he's not a monster anymore, he's ...... He...... He ......"

In the face of El's questioning and madness, Sister Alos smiled bitterly, "It's Sister El, I'm very sorry for giving such an order, but I will definitely not regret it, Paul...... Must die. ”

......

At the same time, there is another cave two kilometers from the vicinity.

"See, that's how exorcists do. ”

There is a monster in the cave quilt, and next to the monster, there is a man in a black robe, and there is a virtual screen in front of the man, which shows the conversation between Sister Al and Sister Alos.

Turning off the virtual screen casually, the man turned to the monster and said: "Although I know that you really want to be with that nun, but unfortunately, this is impossible, human beings, especially exorcists, are very cruel to aliens, and the monsters without reason or the monsters with reason, which one is more terrifying and difficult, I believe you also know." ”

The monster didn't speak, or it couldn't, but its blood-red eyes were very sad.

The man continued, "So, instead of being hunted by exorcists, you should become our companions, and I believe that if you kill more humans, you will soon become one of us." “

Faced with the man's temptation, the monster was unmoved, and his eyes became more and more sad.

"What a stubborn kind, obviously with a body and strength that is more powerful than a human, why do you stick to the identity of a human, you are really a completely different companion. “

The man seemed to have a headache, knocked on his head, and said, "Well, since you don't worry about your own life, you should also worry about that nun's life." “

The monster suddenly moved, and its blood-red eyes stared coldly at the man.

The man was not afraid at all, even though his body was very small compared to the monster, and the monster only wanted to tear him to pieces with a single lift of his claws.

"As I said earlier, human beings are very exclusive, if that nun insists on protecting you, what kind of treatment will she receive, will she also be beaten into a different species, and thus be executed, colluding with monsters, this is not a minor crime, at least how many human beings have been executed for this crime, billion, tens of billions, or hundreds of billions, sorry, because there are too many of them, I can't remember clearly. ”

The man's voice became more and more eerie, "So, even for the sake of a nun, you should give up your human identity." ”

......

"Sister Alos, what is going on, I refuse to carry out this order if I don't make it clear. "Before Sister Al went completely insane, I quickly stabilized her and said to Sister Alos in a serious voice.

Suddenly, Sister Al looked at me gratefully.

Sister Aloes said calmly: "Monsters have no reason, some only hate and kill humans, which is determined by the genes located in their bodies, and when these genes evolve to a certain extent, monsters will regain their senses, but unfortunately, while having reason, feelings have been diluted, and it can even be said to have disappeared." ”

"Reason, emotion?" I cried out in surprise.

"That's right. Sister Alos nodded and said: "This is the worst thing, with reason, not inferior to human intelligence, but without human feelings, even if the genes have evolved, the killing instinct is still there, for humans, they will not have the idea of not being able to bear to kill, just like people are hungry and want to eat, monsters are hungry, naturally they have to eat, and the last food ...... Nature is human. ”

I vaguely understood, but Sister Alos's next words surprised me.

"Yan Xiaobei, this is not something you have come into contact with, but since you have met it, let me tell you, a monster with reason and no emotion, we generally call it ...... Apostle!"

Apostle, what a familiar name.

Once in the abandoned city, the apostle who almost wiped us out, the evolution of the monster, until now, when I heard this name, I still reflected the surname a little scared.

"So...... "If that's the case, then I have to turn around and run, and now I, after meeting the apostle, the result is that I was killed in an instant, without any suspense."

However, Sister Aros quickly denied my speculation, "If you want to become an apostle, a monster must kill a large number of humans, suck the essence blood of humans to replenish the genes in the body, and promote its evolution. ”

After a pause, she looked at me with more serious eyes, "Yan Xiaobei, a mutated monster, and a monster with reason, has a very high starting point, if you let it go, you may become a super apostle, so you must kill him." There is no turning back in this matter, you must obey orders, or else please go to the interstellar court!!"

Then, before I could speak, Sister Aros cut off contact.

This kind of behavior is completely inconsistent with the usual Sister Alos, who is a little harsh, but she is definitely not so unkind, and hardly gives people a chance to justify.

I thought about it, and finally it dawned on me.

Sister Aloes seems to be excusing me, even if I kill Paul, it is only because of the order, so even if Sister Elle resents, she will not resent me, because I am just doing what I am told, and if I don't do what I do, I will go to prison.

Sure enough, Sister Al seemed to be in despair, covering her face and weeping bitterly, tears sliding down her fingers, unusually poignant.

"Sister El, please take me to Paul. I took a deep breath and said without hesitation, "What if...... If Paul had human feelings, I would never hurt him, and I swear, even if I go to the interstellar tribunal for this, I will never regret it, and the responsibility of an exorcist is to kill monsters, not their own kind!"

It's not a show, and if I don't, I don't know what to do to get Sister Al to take me to Paul.

If...... If the other party really has human feelings, I don't think I can do it.

......

"Have you already decided?" Inside the cave, the man laughed, and the monster beside him slowly stood up and walked outside.

The man laughed louder and louder, "Yes, that's it, go and kill, give up the last mercy, only then can you become one of us." ”

The monster left the cave and ran wildly in one direction, the man followed the monster closely, his body suspended a few centimeters above the ground, and his speed was incredibly fast, almost in the blink of an eye, he overtook the monster and left it far behind.

"Come, celebrate the addition of one more of our companions, and welcome our companions with a feast of blood!"

......

When Sister El and I came to a cave, the cave was empty and there were no monsters.

I looked at Sister Al in amazement, and saw that the other person seemed to be very flustered, not understanding what was going on, and just shouting Paul's name into the empty cave.

No one responded.

Soon, I spotted the monster's footprints from the outside, and I headed in a certain direction.

I took Sister Elle, spread the wings of light, and soared into the sky, following the footprints along the way, flying non-stop, and after about ten minutes, approaching the edge of the forest, I suddenly heard a deafening roar.

This is the roar of a monster, no different from other monsters, full of tyranny, and boundless killing intent.

Suddenly, I felt the hem of my garment be scratched by Sister Elle, and she seemed to hear who the roar belonged to, and her face suddenly turned pale.

When the two of us rushed out of the forest and came to a certain highway not far from the forest, we were both frozen.

Blood, endless blood, viscous almost converging into one river.

Corpses, and countless corpses, these corpses are superimposed, seven or eight meters high, a huge monster stepped on these corpses, blood-red eyes were full of terrifying killing intent, sharp teeth were covered with blood, and there seemed to be human limbs remaining inside the mouth.

"For ...... For...... Why!!"

Sister Al broke down, and she yelled at the monster, "Why do you want to kill people, you promised me not to kill people, why do you kill people, Paul, Paul......"

The monster looked at Sister Al coldly, as if she didn't know each other, there was no guilt, uneasiness, sadness, nothing in her eyes, just tyrannical killing intent, cold gaze.

Sure enough, as Sister Alos said, are they all monsters with only reason and no emotion?

Looking at the other person's cold eyes, I put Sister El down.

"Stand back, I'm going to have to kill it this time!"

Sister Al panicked, she grabbed me by the shoulder, and begged: "This must be a misunderstanding, definitely a misunderstanding, Paul she promised me that she would not kill, she would never kill." ”

I pushed Sister Elle's hand away, and the holy power exploded, and the violent power roamed through the thin body, and the blood boiled and covered the earth.

I felt that my killing intent was getting colder and colder, but the holy power was getting more and more irritable, roaring, roaring, and galloping.

This time, I will definitely not let this monster go.

With sanity and no human feelings, this mutated monster might indeed become a super apostle in the near future if it doesn't die here.

This is based on the corpses of countless humans, so ...... It has to die.
