Chapter 54: Dolls Spread Dolls
"The truth?"
Pearson had a strange expression, his face full of wrinkles and age spots huddled together like a withered chrysanthemum, and a faint cold light shone through his cloudy black pupils.
He looked up at the dome of the church, the shimmer of psionic lines on the dome enveloping the entire church like a giant spider web.
Xia Ming waved his hand and threw out a blade of light, shattering the glass window above his head along with those shiny lines, and the broken stone and glass fell from the top with a clatter, shattering to the ground, and the collapsed gap revealed the broken moon in the dark night sky.
"Don't struggle uselessly, old skin, please answer my question."
Xia Ming's psionic tentacles tightened violently, squeezing Pearson's flesh and making him let out a painful snort.
Pearson just stared at the collapsed and shattered church dome with wide eyes, at the broken crescent moon beyond the gap, and suddenly opened his mouth wide and tried to bite his tongue to kill himself.
His mouth was blocked by the invisible tentacles that Xia Ming had turned into with his psionic energy.
Now that he knew that old Pearson had a strange way of ending up together, he certainly couldn't let him kill himself.
The gagged old skin whimpered, but it didn't seem like he was wailing because of pain, the corners of his mouth were silently curled, his turbid old face was weirdly distorted, and his eyes looked at Xia Ming's face with contempt and ridicule, as if he was acting in a psychotic mime.
"If you think you still have a means to turn the tables, such as the cross that you always hold in your hand, your unknown means of mind control."
Xia Ming clapped her palms, and Sheena stepped out of the shadows with a guilty expression, holding the psionic prop that Pearson always held in her hand.
"I'm sorry, I asked my sister nun to go to your room and steal it."
Xia Ming chuckled and took the cross-shaped prop from Sheena's hand, and looked into Pearson's eyes with a smile.
"Just let me see how you use this item to exert mind control on Sheena and everyone in Para Town."
Xia Ming was satisfied to see that the strange mocking expressions on Lao Pi's face disappeared, he whined, his body trembled, and a silent and great fear was revealed from his eyes and from his entire face.
He shook the cross in his hand.
"Lao Pi, you said that if I used this prop on you, so that you often feel like your mind is controlled by others, what a wonderful and beautiful experience it should be, isn't it?"
The psionic tentacles that had been stuffed into Pearson's mouth were gone, and he was finally able to make a sound.
At this time, his face still had a little bit of the mental illness just now, he looked ahead in horror, looked at the cross in Xia Ming's hand, and shouted:
"Give it to me! Give it to me! ”
"Then you tell me all the truth first, give it to me, and explain it to Sheena!"
Xia Ming's voice was as cold as ice, but Lao Pi's expression became more and more frightened, muttering, pleading:
"No...... No...... Give it to me...... Please......"
Sheena also looked into Pearson's eyes at this time, put her hands on her breast, and prayed to him:
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but I violated the doctrine and became a thief. However, I ...... I also want a truth answer, please let me know...... I...... And everyone in the town is controlled by you using some kind of mind control means? ”
The moment Sheena spoke up, the expression of fear and panic on Pearson's face reached its extreme, but the moment she said all her words and made a request to him.
All the panic in his face, all the panic and fear in his eyes disappeared, and he became serene and peaceful.
It's like ...... It's like an obedient puppet.
Seeing the strange performance of old Pearson at this moment, Xia Ming suddenly felt a strange uneasiness in his heart, and he suddenly felt that all his previous guesses seemed to have gone astray.
Could it be ......
By this time, Pearson Sr. had begun to respond to Sheena's request and uttered an impossible answer
"No, I'm not the one who used mind control to control everyone in town."
"It's Sheena."
What?!
Sheena's body trembled suddenly, as if she couldn't believe hearing such an answer, Xia Ming's heart also skipped a beat, feeling close to the truth behind the fog, and hurriedly interjected and said to Sheena:
"Sheena, let him explain everything clearly!"
Sheena did so in a daze, and the moment her words fell, old Pearson began his narration as if he had received an order.
"Ten years ago, many of my colleagues and I followed the orders of Lord Alice and took young Sheena out of the Tinder organization and came to this town to live incognito."
"Sheena is the only survivor of a terrible experiment by Lord Alice, which gave birth to a terrible monster, a humanoid scourge that wreaks havoc on the wilderness, the Domination Witch, who has caused a terrible disaster since its birth, taking the lives of countless people, including Lord Alice."
"In accordance with Lord Alice's last wish before she died, we took the witch's body halfway, and the young daughter Hina found a secluded place to live in seclusion."
He looked at the shattered and collapsing dome.
"After coming to Para Town, we built a psionic barrier called the 'Great Circle' together, which kept the entire town hidden from all sight and was not discovered by any forces or psionic beings."
"Just in case, in order to prevent the tyrannical personality that dominated the witch from remaining in Sheena's body and reawakening, we temporarily founded a church called the Illuminati and began to teach the ignorant Sheena without any self-will or thought, asking her to follow the teachings we made up and become a kind person, a person who is willing to help others, and a perfect nun."
"We want to bind her personality in this way, to make her a perfect puppet, so that tyranny and resentment will never arise in her heart."
"We succeeded."
"But we also failed."
"The witch's personality was not born or awakened from Sheena's body, but the witch's dominating power, the terrifying ability of mind control, still reappeared in Sheena's body."
"Yes, Sheena is the perfect nun, not only never refuses the request of the victim, but as a nun, she is always gentle and tolerant, patient and meticulous persuasion and comfort in the face of those dirty and ugly things that come to the confession room to confess."
"So, those townspeople who came to the confession room became simple and kind people under the influence of Sheena's power, and those who listened to Sheena's teachings became the kind-hearted puppets she hoped to be."
"No, it's not just them, it's my colleagues, my partners. Can you understand the despair when I watched them become glazed and dumb-eyed and dumb-eyed and finally become the holy and radiant kind priests and nuns they had concocted, even though they were also powerful psionic beings, but they became her puppets one by one in front of her terrible power, and I watched them become glazed and dumbfounded, and finally became the holy and radiant kind priests and nuns they had concocted! ”
"We taught Sheena to be kind, and we made her the perfect doll who would never refuse any request, and this doll in turn used her perfect kindness, with her terrifying psychic control that she unconsciously emanated, to turn us, my fellow colleagues, and everyone in town, into dolls labeled as kind!"
