Chapter 44: Confession of Sincerity

So, Wu squatted in a low posture, ready to quietly approach the temple-

—but a swollen figure whizzed past him.

That's Tyre.

The run was so sudden and fast that Wu didn't see Tyre's expression.

But the bouncing fat and brisk pace are already obvious.

It can be guessed that in Tyre's mood, the temple in front of him made him feel unusually happy.

This is a thrill that has not been on the road before.

He seemed to be greatly interested in the temple in front of him, and rushed over without regard for his life.

This absurd behavior was completely unexpected.

"Wait! Tyre, I don't know if the enemy is in the temple! ”

"Don't worry! Prince, I'm going to help you take a look! ”

"No! There are a lot of enemies, so rushing in like this is not the right choice! ”

However, Tyre seemed to go insane, completely disobeying Wu's commands, and rushed over alone.

The two of them were completely dumbfounded and froze in place.

"Lord Prince, why do you think that Mr. Tyre seems to have changed as a person?"

“…… I think so too. ”

"So what now?"

"Well, come along! Tyre can't be left alone to charge into battle. ”

"Yes."

Instead of moving forward in the way of holding Levikinu, he used his left shoulder as a fulcrum to support him, slowly helping him forward.

This naturally makes sense, and if you suddenly encounter a surprise attack from the enemy, you can act quickly.

For example, he supported Levikinu, who had limited mobility, so that he could perform magic smoothly.

On the way to the temple, the blood in the channel was very noticed.

It doesn't smell like blood, and it's almost the same as ordinary lake water, except for a strange color.

The blood was even a little clear, and I could still see my own reflection—that dirty, dirty face.

The bones floating on the bloody water were scattered, but on closer inspection, they were complete.

How can it be said to be complete?

Although several bones are missing, the original species can be inferred from the remaining skeletons.

Rather, each channel is like an exhibition hall displaying the bones of various species, neatly and exquisitely furnished.

If that's the case, it's a bad taste.

And the skeletons hanging from the rock walls everywhere, who made this disgusting ornament?

The hero in charge of sealing gluttony is his own father, Divicent himself.

In other words, the establishment of a forbidden place dedicated to sealing gluttony should also be created by the father and emperor himself.

So were these horrific ornaments created by my father himself?

I was a little incredulous.

The strange atmosphere that pervades such an occasion is simply not something that ordinary people can bear.

Luckily, the Ranhua Forest and the previous cave weren't very kind, and the sights didn't make me feel particularly scared.

It's better to say that I've adapted to such an atmosphere.

Tyre's figure soon entered the temple, and for some reason, the excited figure disappeared.

After storming the temple, there seemed to be no sound of fighting or fighting—calmer than expected?

"What the hell is wrong with Tyre? It's not the same as the image along the way, huh? ”

"Is there anything here worth exploring Mister Tyre?"

"Probably unlikely, right? The information of Jiuhu Mountain is absolutely private, and if you haven't been here in person, you won't know everything here. ”

"Or is it controlled by some kind of magic?"

"For example?"

"Psychic magic, a supermaterial magic that can manipulate actions or memories?"

"If that's the case, why is Tyre the only victim?"

"You have a point."

"Anyway—let's go to the temple first."

"That's all it takes."

It was another question and answer and a decision, and the two of them still kept quietly approaching the temple.

He didn't go into the temple first, but stayed by the steps up the temple and looked around.

See it with your own eyes - the blood in the channel flows through the staircase into the temple gate, but you can't see anything when you look in from the outside.

There doesn't seem to be a half-lit candle inside the temple, and there's no room for brightness outside.

If you really want to explore the situation inside the temple, I'm afraid you can only go in person.

With a stern face, he turned to Levigenu on his left - naturally he didn't need to say anything.

"Are you ready?"

"As long as you give the order, I will follow you at any time."

"Thank you—let's go."

"Yes."

As if they had already held the determination to die, the two sneaked in through the gate without fear.

Two fearless figures slowly plunged into the unknown darkness, and the visibility of the room was nearly zero.

Also, Tyre, who rushed in at the beginning, also miraculously lost his voice.

Fortunately, Wu was still supporting Levikinu, and he could sense the other party's position by relying on a little body temperature.

The naked eye couldn't see the slightest object, but the sense of smell was the first to perceive.

There is a certain fragrance wafting through the room, a bit like an overly concentrated perfume, very pungent.

The smell is really bad, and my head is a little dizzy.

The two of them wandered in the darkness without any sense of direction, and did not forget to let go of their footsteps.

In an environment where you can't see your fingers, only your sense of smell can play a role, and you can't touch anything on all fours.

It's like coming to another dimension, confusing.

There was also some uneasiness.

The sound of his heartbeat was a little violent, and the suffocating air made him forget to breathe.

"Qiang ————"

Suddenly, a crisp iron sound rang out from the darkness.

Wu shook slightly—it wasn't because of him.

Listening to the faint echo, Wu deduced that it seemed that Levikinu next to him had kicked some kind of iron weapon.

"Did you kick it?"

Wu asked in a more subtle voice.

"I'm so sorry, I seem to have kicked some kind of iron weapon in the bottom."

Levikinu replied in a tone that could not have been quieter.

"No need to apologize, say—how do you feel?"

"Feelings?"

"That is, after you kick this iron object, can you feel what it is?"

"Oh—it looks like some kind of pot, sleek and slightly heavy."

"Pots—huh? Could it be a dining room or something? ”

"Lord Prince, do you want to go any further?"

"Yes—hold on to the two-second one-step rule and walk slowly."

"Yes."

One, two!

After counting silently in their hearts for two seconds, the two sides tacitly took the first step -

Then there was another sound of iron.

This time, Wu was very clear that he kicked it himself.

"I kicked it, and there seem to be quite a few of them?"

"And do you feel similar to what I'm kicking?"

"Is this ——??"

Wu carefully stretched out his toes again to feel it.

It's not sleek, as Levikinu says, it's more like a square object, but heaviness is real.

I exert a little force from my toes, but I can't kick the iron weapon in front of me.

What the hell is it?

"It looks like a square piece of iron, and it's just as heavy."

"Square? Looks like it's not the same, right? ”

"Definitely. But it's too slow to do that—or should we take a second at a time? ”

"No problem."

Counting silently again, Wu's heart silently shouted "one".

Then he took the next step in the same tacit agreement as he had just done - but the sensations in his body seemed to become strange.

The skull suddenly became a little swollen, and cold sweat was dripping all over his body.

It should be said that the dizziness of the head has intensified - from the moment I smelled the smell just now, my body was a little unwell.

What's going on? Could it be the poison gas from this temple?

In any case, the current physical condition has been problematic, and the visibility around me is almost zero, so it would be irrational to rush on.

Let's go back first.

In order to show that he was feeling unwell, Wu grabbed Levichinu's shoulders and motioned for him not to leave yet.

It's just — it's not just that.

"Your Excellency...... My body ...... It seems a little uncomfortable. ”

"You...... Is it too? ”

"I'm afraid it's a trap for the enemy! I don't know what kind of means the other party has played here. ”

"In that case, has Tyre also fallen into the hands of the enemy?"

"Possibly! Mr. Tyre hadn't made a sound since he first came in, and I'm afraid things weren't going well. ”

"Damn—just leave the temple first!"

Resisting the pain that began to worsen, Wu turned around desperately and supported Levichinus, who was also weak.

Not so good——! I can't feel the touch of my legs stepping on the ground, so it can't be the poisonous gas of the paralyzing nerves, right?

Paralyzing nerves—is it? Speaking of which, the "Immortal Gu" that Tyre cast before also has the poisonous effect of paralyzing nerves, is it the same poisonous gas?

I don't know what happened to Tyre now? I didn't even have a sound, so I was worried.

Now I can only take care of myself and Levikinu at most.

I don't know that after walking a few steps, the two finally walked out of the gate of the temple-

Then they fell trembling and trembling.

Not only is there a feeling of detachment from the flesh, but even the sight is ...... It's starting to blur too.

I always feel ...... The top ...... among their own people There's liquid dripping.

Am I having a nosebleed?

Damn, I don't have a lot of nosebleeds, do I?

Levikinu...... You okay? ”

"Well...... Not bad...... bar. ”

This is not a tone that can reassure Wu at all, and he is about to faint at all.

At this point, his eyes, which could no longer focus, turned to Levikino on the side in a daze-

Sure enough, it was a nosebleed, and his entire nose was also covered in blood.

But...... What the hell is going on?

How could it be...... That's it...... Suddenly......

Unconscious?

It's over...... My eyelids are starting to lose strength...... As far as the eye can see, the scenery is spinning.

Can't sleep...... Sleep in such a dangerous forbidden place...... There's a good chance you'll die.

Absolutely not in this kind of place......

Sleep......

A fact that cannot be violated at all, Wu finally closed his eyes.

I felt that the dark night had come gently, and it came without warning.

I don't know how long I've been asleep, but my confused eyes open one by one—

But I was not psychologically prepared, and the unsightly scene was ushered in.

Wu, who was still a little sleepy, had completely lost his sleepiness - his eyes widened unconsciously.

On the stone pillar in front of me hung a corpse—a headless corpse.

Disgusting and miserable.

The whole body is full of devastated knife marks, which perfectly interprets the reality of "a thousand cuts".

Judging from the fresh blood that is still dripping, it should have been cut not long ago, and the method was extremely cruel.

The flesh of the chest and abdomen was maliciously cut, and a piece of flesh and blood was blurred and completely presented in front of Wu.

Without the protection of the thoracic skin, the heart is naturally unobstructed – no surprises, no beating.

The messy intestines hung out of the broken belly, still oozing blood.

The hanging legs were inevitably cut, and the thighs had been shaved as thin as the calves, and the calves could be seen with some miserable white bones.

But all this is not the most terrible.

Wu's gaze quickly fell to the lower left—on the right paw of the corpse's foot, there was a rudimentary bandage that I had bandaged myself.

The worrying bandaging shook Wu's mind, and the fact that it was a thunderbolt from the sky was in front of him.

The headless corpse in front of him was Levikinu.

This is enough to deeply imprint the pain of a lifetime, enough to fall into the desire of no return—"revenge".

In that moment, Wu's heart collapsed.

Unable to stop the anger in his heart, Wu felt the anger stirring for the first time - but there was a clear sense of restraint in his limbs.

Wu immediately realized.

I was kidnapped by someone else.

Looking down at the sensations in my limbs, I realized that something was wrong.

He was also tied to the stone pillar, his hands were tied behind his back, and his feet were tied in a circle.

The originally kind eyes finally showed the most sincere anger, showing the grief of stepping into evil.

In a daze, in the midst of grief, there seemed to be some kind of voice echoing in Wu's heart.

A low, magnetic male voice that can clearly feel the tone of a strong desire for something.

That's it! This is the initial appearance after stripping away humanity. 》

Immersed in grief, Wu ignored the unknown voice.

After all, he is just a boy, how can he face this cruel reality?

Eventually, the lacrimal gland bursts.

"Ah——————!h

Plus a cry of resentment.

The tears that poured out could not be stopped, and at the same time, it also represented that the fire of desire in the heart was burning endlessly.

Feel Angry! Child, that's the process you have to go through. 》

Wu still ignored it, even though he was already aware of it.

Think of this voice as a split personality that occurs when extreme sadness and anger are combined.

But this disregard didn't make the mystery disappear – it became more rampant and agitated.

Devour this wrath! Leave the hypocritical justice behind – you will be the one who can do anything. 》

Still immersed in deep pain, his unbearable eyes mourned the corpse in front of him.

"Levikinu! How can you die like this! Wake me up! ”

Still roaring at a cold corpse.

The eyes covered by grief and anger are still so innocent, staring at the corpse that will never react, praying for some miracle that cannot happen.

Of course, facts and dreams do not overlap after all, and the souls of the dead will never return.

"If you are hungry for miracles, you might as well devour all the possibilities!" There's nothing left - take it all in! 》

Eventually, Wu felt a bout of lightheadedness, a lack of oxygen to his brain due to the constant hissing.

There was a brief dead silence.

It is also the most critical sentence.

"Finally - Implement Greed! 》

Wu finally began to face the voice.

Greedy......?

What exactly is being said?

Where does this sound come from?

Are you crazy?

The weak eyes no longer feel the slightest hope of survival.

I don't even want to live anymore.

However, fate always teases Wu maliciously.

This most unwilling to face the end will finally be ushered in.

It was a figure that Wu would never have thought of - slowly walking in front of Wu from the side of sight.

This was undoubtedly more shocking than the shock after Levichinus's death.

That man was none other than Tyre.

Admired with a hideous face - Wu's panic and disbelief.

"Are you sleeping comfortably? Your Excellency? ”

"Tyre...... How could it be you? ”

"How could it be me? You should have found out earlier. ”

"Impossible...... There's no reason for you to do that. ”

"I really have no reason to do that. After all, I'm just entrusted by others, so it's really helpless! ”

"Entrusted? Have you betrayed Brother Jill's mission? ”

"Betrayal? Ahahaha ”

"Trust your loved ones?"

Vaguely, Wu had already deduced the off-string sound of Tyre.

Did Brother Gil give me a false mission just to seduce me out of the royal city and kill me again?

No! No matter how much Brother Wang hates me, he will not behave in such an outrageous manner.

Besides, I respect Brother Wang very much! I'm sure he'll be able to appreciate my admiration for him.

"You're lying! Brother Jill is definitely not that kind of person! ”

"It's all said here, just forget it if you don't want to believe it."

"This is simply not true! I advise you to come and confess - who instructed you? ”

"On this - I'm sorry, even though you're a dying man, I'm going to keep it a secret."

"The dying man? Do you want to kill me? ”

"Well—don't you make yourself scared when you say that? It's not so much 'killing' as 'liberation'. ”

"Why ......?"

Two new lines of tears slid across her wet cheeks again—this time from Tyre's betrayal.

"Well——? Do you have any questions? ”

Tyre asked disapprovingly, which undoubtedly touched Wu's nerves—the nerves of anger.

forcibly brewed the chaotic thoughts in his head, revealing a rare ferocity.

"Questions......? You say doubt, right? ”

"Yes, it's always going to solve your troubles, right?"

"Very well - I'll tell you my doubts......"

Even if he tried to calm the anger in his heart, it was already burning too strongly, which came from the suppression of the past fifteen years.

Eventually, a one-time big outbreak.

"There's no reason to kill me! I usually try to grovel to others, try to look at others, do my best to help others, don't compete with others for anything, just live a stable life alone - such a me! That's how simple I am! Why should someone else be assassinated? ”

A series of uninterrupted and sincere confessions, smooth as if I had memorized the manuscript beforehand.
