Table of Contents 61: The Screaming Knight

"You said, you want me to die instead of you......" His hands barely supported his body that was about to fall down at any time, Bai Ye raised his head with difficulty, but he couldn't see Chunxiang's current expression very well.

"This kind of line doesn't suit you very well......" tried to get up, but seemed to struggle in vain, and his body shook a few times and fell down again.

"Don't struggle, I've tried the herbs added to the rice ball before, and it will numb you for at least a few hours, and I didn't want to use such extreme means. Chun Xiang bent down and looked down at Bai Ye condescendingly, "I don't know where you learned about the living sacrifice, but according to what I thought, you should have told Sù Nia about these things, so I told you about it at dinner." Haruka looked up at the dark cave.

"You wouldn't think that Nia would have a sense of justice to die for you......" With a burst of mockery, Bai Ye's hands were still trying to support his body.

"What I expected was for Nia to kill the things that lived in the cave, the people in the village were superstitious that the gods in the cave brought a good harvest, no one dared to resist, they would just blindly obey the ancient rules, I was obviously looking forward to it, but in the morning you came to tell me that the answer was to send me on the last journey, forcing me to make this decision, speaking of which Nia and the others?" subconsciously looked around, quiet and weird, Haruka's eyebrows slowly wrinkled together.

"Let her go...... After all, the person she can't trust is actually a person full of lies, and you didn't come to the altar because of some cleaning task, did you, Haruka...... You should have been here as a sacrifice before......" Haruka's sharp eyes didn't look like a person paralyzed by toxins at all, Haruka took a step back in fear, and then showed a relieved smile, "Even today, it's the fourth time I've become a sacrifice." "Three times before, there are also substitutes like me?" Bai Ye was also stunned by this number.

"The first one was my fiancé, and I didn't think much about it at the time, just crying in his arms and describing my desire to live...... The next day, in my place, he quietly went up the mountain and volunteered to be a sacrifice. Slowly moved those dexterous little feet and walked beside Bai Ye, "I thought that the nightmare would end, and in the next year, it was my fiancé's family's turn to offer sacrifices, and they pushed me to the stage, thinking that I would die, but my childhood sweetheart, who has liked me since childhood, did the same thing as my fiancé." "As a result, in the third ceremony, did your childhood sweetheart's family elect you again?" Bai Ye didn't know whether he should sympathize or comfort Chunxiang, this girl who should have been ordinary was pushed to death by this village step by step.

"The third time I became a sacrifice, I paralyzed the passers-by who coincidentally entered Sunset Canyon with poison, and there was a new replacement, and this year, it was the fourth time, and everyone thought I would choose you as a replacement, but more people thought I was trying to seduce you and make you fall in love with me...... What a failure, if you were willing to die for me, at least you could have a touch of beautiful fantasy. Glancing at the gradually brightening sky, the time for the ceremony was about to come, Haruka turned her back and didn't look at Bai Ye on the ground, "Finally, let me thank you, Lai Yifa." "Why do you want to say thank you? I wasn't going to be so kind to be your stand-in. The voice changed back to the initial calm, and when Chunxiang, who noticed the strangeness, suddenly turned around, Bai Ye had already jumped up from the ground, imitating the movements of the girl before, and spit out the rice balls he had just swallowed from his mouth, "This kind of carving insect skill is not only for you. ”

"You...... Doubted me from the beginning...... Why ......" was able to do such a thing, proving that the man in front of him was wary of himself from beginning to end, but why, the villagers and themselves did not have any bad intentions at all.

"Don't think about why, it's not your acting skills, it just so happens that I experienced some unpleasant memories when I was a child, and from then on, no one will trust me except my two closest sisters. Dusting off the dust on his coat, Bai Ye smiled, but it looked so terrible in Chunxiang's eyes.

"I don't want to...... I just don't want to die, I ......" retreated incoherently, but Bai Ye was also pressing step by step, "I don't blame you, deceive us, and want to exchange my life for your own life, I won't blame you, and I'm not qualified to say you, if you want to live in this world, we have to give up many things, and at the same time, we have to trample on the corpses of countless people, at this moment, we are just trying to live." She walked briskly past Haruka, leaving her shivering to stay where she was.

"Be a sacrifice, it's time to pay for your previous sins. ”

"Don't, don't leave me, Lai Yifa, I don't want to die......" Chunxiang chased after him desperately, reaching out to grab the corner of Bai Ye's clothes, but the man in front of him quickly turned around as if he had long eyes behind him, and grabbed Chunxiang's quietly advancing right hand with one hand, with an inconspicuous small dagger on it.

"It's also covered with toxins, it's commendable, it's very thoughtful, if it's someone else, you've probably calculated it successfully. With an appreciative smile, it exuded a chill that made people shudder, Bai Ye just used a slight force, and then Haruka dropped the dagger in pain, and then caught it with his other hand, and the silver light flashed, leaving a shocking blood line on Chunxiang's chest......

The scattered blood flowers fell to the ground, and Haruka stretched out her weak left hand, hoping to catch the man in front of her, but the distance was ruthlessly widened, and the world began to fall, "Bell" first The sound of the dagger falling to the ground was crisp, and then Haruka's whole person fell to the ground heavily, looking up at the last sky scenery with her back up.

"Ahem ......" blood continued to seep out of her chest, and her vision became blurred, and Haruka felt a chill, the coldness of death.

"If you were born in another city, if you were born in another beautiful era, you would probably be able to achieve happiness......" Standing beside the girl who was gradually losing her vitality, Bai Ye didn't know what mood to say, the only thing she knew was that Haruka's eyes looked at her, and she had become sluggish and weak.

"Come out, Nia, it's over, that's the end I want you to see. Turning his head and shouting at the cave, Bai Ye had even prepared a picture of the female knight attacking him like crazy, but there was no response for a long time, Bai Ye approached the cave and looked around for a while.

No one is there.

There were only bones and beast wreckage all over the ground, and Nyoa wasn't here?So where would she be......

"Tsk, don't mess with me at this time. "In my heart, a bad premonition arises, has that woman discovered the truth?

"Ahem...... Why, you obviously don't trust anyone, but you want to protect Nia, Lai Yifa ......" Chunxiang turned her head against the ground, but she could only see Bai Ye's feet.

"Protect her?...... you may have misunderstood" "You must know, the third person who became a sacrifice in place of me is Nia's brother......" Without giving Bai Ye a chance to refute, Haruka recounted with the last of his strength, "He is just like Nia, full of a sense of justice, after knowing that I am going to be a sacrifice, he resolutely rushed up the mountain to save me, but he didn't expect to be poisoned by me from behind, and he became a new sacrifice with his hands tied." "The story of entering the fog and not coming back is really deceitful...... You're right, I don't want her to know that. The conjecture was verified, but Bai Ye didn't feel the slightest bit proud.

"I'm afraid that she can't bear the fact that her brother was killed by her friend, so she performed the performance just now, killed me with her own hands, buried the truth of this matter, and concentrated all of Nia's hatred on herself, do so much for her, is there any reason, because Nya is prettier than me......" It's already hard to even speak, Haruka just wants to get the final answer.

"It's really a simple and superficial reason, who would like that kind of old-fashioned righteous woman with less tendons, I just can't forgive you, Nia's brother is the only relative in the world, and the pillar of her survival is the lie that her brother is still alive, you ruined her, and as someone else's brother, I will never forgive. Bai Ye walked in the direction of the steps, Nia was not here, it was very likely that she had already gone to the village.

"One more thing, the monster that lives in the cave has been killed by Nia and me a long time ago, I once gave you a chance to live, as long as you obediently do nothing, you can actually live. ”

"In the end, don't you want me to leave peacefully...... What a nasty man...... However, if I had met you three years ago, maybe the ending would have been different, and if you had killed the monster by then, I ...... I probably wouldn't have embarked on such a path...... "If we had met earlier, maybe I would have really liked you."

There was no sound, and he stopped breathing, like a beautiful lilac flower, inexorably withering after a brief bloom.

"Who knows......" Bai Ye suddenly quickened his pace and ran quickly along the stairs.

There wasn't even a ripple in my heart.

Because he's the same person as Haruka, he can do whatever it takes to survive.

Maybe one day, I will die like Haruka, no one will find out.

And Nia is different, she has stuck to her own justice and has come to this point.

Such people are often the most likely to collapse in the face of the cruelty of reality.

Running all the way, when I returned to the village, I could no longer see the people who usually wandered around, but instead there was a pungent smell of blood, such a strong smell was not caused by one or two corpses.

"Could it be that ......" quickened his pace, and before he entered the village, he stepped on a muddy liquid unexpectedly, red blood, flowing all over his eyes, and many people's doors were not closed, and a tragic picture of hell was displayed in front of him.

The headless corpse hanging from the window, the blacksmith who was directly split in half, and the village chief lying in the corner with his severed hand......

The villagers, who had been dancing in the morning, were now all Death's lunch.

The sound of metal clattering sounded.

Bai Ye looked in the direction where the voice came from, Nia, who was supposed to be in white armor, was now a red demon dyed with blood, and that red figure was naturally no stranger, the red-blooded knight who attacked Bai Ye and his party in the canyon a few days ago.

"Nia, you ......" The words came to an abrupt end, and Bai Ye saw an extra string of crystal chains on the hilt of the giant sword, "My brother, they treat him as a living sacrifice...... Dead, I found his token while waiting for you in the cave, and I don't want to believe it......" Without her usual sense of firmness and righteousness, Nia now seems to have lost her soul.

"I went back to the village and wanted to ask the truth, but they still refused to admit it, and they wanted to besiege me......" Raised his head stiffly, hiding his true face in his helmet, but Bai Ye saw the sadness and anger in the other party's eyes, as well as the darkness of chaos.

"I killed them, one after the other, wailing, begging for mercy, cursing, all still ringing in my ears, slaughtering a group of unarmed people, it turned out to be such a simple thing, haha...... Hahaha......"

"Nia ......"

"What should I do, Laiyifa, as a knight, to do such a thing...... There's no going back, and there's no need for me to live...... Let this be my graveyard......" However, there is not only pain in my heart, but also a spreading black-love.

Why do I take away what matters most to me when I am so guarded?

Is such a world right?

Is such a human being entitled to live?

I...... Curse the world.

Even if my body decays and my life fades, my soul will always curse.

Until the day the world ends.

The world collapsed in an instant, the village was swallowed by darkness, and even the land under his feet turned into deep darkness, and in the blink of an eye, Bai Ye could no longer see Nia, and the village and the surrounding Qiē were shrouded in darkness.

"What's going on...... "Although there is a vague conjecture, I am still not sure of such an unbelievable guess.

"Isn't it an interesting memory?" In the darkness in front of him, a man appeared, dressed as a circus clown, and even more bizarrely, his left half of his body was white, and his right half of his body was black, and two fluffy balls were flicking on his comical top hat.

"Who...... Also, what did you just say about memory?" Bai Ye wanted to touch the short sword, but there was nothing on his body.

"It's the first time we've met, Mr. Bai Ye. The other party called out his name accurately, which made Bai Ye more and more vigilant.

"You can call me a clown, I'm ...... I would like to advise you to leave her far away, and she is no longer the Nia you have ever seen, but a complete monster. The clown's body bent to the right as she spoke, until the whole person formed a U-shape, "Of course, mainly because she is already ours." ”

"What hundreds of years, I don't understand ......"

"No, you understand, it's just that you don't want to accept this fact, since you met the little girl in Sunset Village, you have entered Nia's memory, that is to say, this qiē you have experienced is not real, but the memory world that has been stored in Zài. ”

"How could there be such a ridiculous thing, ...... the hell you"

"I'm the Joker, ending the nightmare of people's dreams, and I'll kill you if necessary. The clown who made a funny smile instantly jumped in front of him and nodded Bai Ye's forehead......
