Underground, in a spacious hall, the flames in the corners of the walls burned silently.

In this hall, there were more than ten or twenty black-robed people standing, with wide brims covering their faces, making the already quiet atmosphere a little more weird.

At this moment, in front of the left, there was the sound of clattering footsteps, like leather shoes stepping on the floor.

A middle-aged man in a red robe walked slowly towards here.

He looked like he was thirty or forty years old, with fluffy curly hair and a smile on his face, giving people a kind and kind feeling.

"I've seen Lord Bishop!"

More than twenty black-clothed people knelt on one knee in unison, and their eyes were full of respect when they looked at the red-robed man.

"The Dark Devil is on top."

The red-robed man showed a pious expression, tapped his fingers on his body a few times, and looked diagonally upward.

Then, he slowly lowered his head, the smile on his face became gentler, and said, "Get up." ”

A group of black-robed people stood up from the ground.

"Your Excellency, do you have something to announce when you summoned us here?"

The first black-robed man asked with a respectful face.

The red-robed man nodded, his gaze swept over everyone, and said, "There are two things in total, let's talk about the first one first." ”

He clapped his palms.

The next moment, a person who was stapled to a wooden frame was pushed out of a small door by two black-robed people.

Suddenly, the smell of blood wafted through the hall.

The man who was tied to the wooden frame could not find a piece of good meat all over his body, and he was so angry that he was tortured and could die at any time.

Seeing this, many black-robed people showed unbearable looks in their eyes.

It's not that they haven't seen a worse situation than the scene in front of them, but it's because they know the person who was tortured.

Or, a few days ago, one of them.

"You all know him, right?"

The red-robed man asked with a smile.

"Acquaintance."

"Acquaintance."

Everyone didn't dare to slack off, and they said one after another.

The person who was tied to the wooden frame seemed to be awakened by the movement around him, and he opened his eyes with difficulty and looked at everything around him.

The atmosphere in the hall was quiet at this time.

"Lord, Your Excellency."

The man seemed to have come to his senses, with a thick pleading look in his eyes, and said in a weak voice: "Lord Bishop, I beg you, give me again, give me another chance." ”

"Give you another chance?"

The corners of the red-robed man's mouth rose.

"Yes, yes," the man's voice said intermittently, "Last time, there was an accident, Lord Bishop, you, you give me another chance, I will definitely take back what I lost last time, double it, I beg you, Lord Bishop." ”

If Chen Fan was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that the inhuman-shaped guy in front of him was the pawn he arranged to enter the cult that day.

His original intention was to use this guy to get information from other cult squads, on the one hand, to eliminate harm for the people, and on the other hand, to gain a lot of experience points by destroying the black ball in their hands.

It's just that judging from the scene in front of him, it seems that his goal has not been achieved.

"Do you think I should give him another chance?" The red-robed man looked at everyone.

Everyone looked at each other, but they couldn't figure out the attitude of this person, and they were silent.

At this time, the man who spoke at the beginning straightened his chest and said in a loud voice: "Lord Bishop, my subordinates don't think it should be. ”

"Oh? Why? The red-robed man asked with a smile.

"Lord Bishop, Peng Song did not do his job well, not only lost the holy relics, but also killed the other people in the team, if he is let go this time, then next time, if this situation occurs again, Lord Bishop, will he also let go of the next person?"

"Fang Liang, you, you ......"

Peng Song stared at the man who spoke, with bitter hatred in his eyes.

"Your Excellency, my subordinates feel that Peng Song can't stay."

Another black-robed man stood up, and listening to the voice, it turned out to be a woman.

Fang Liang on the side frowned, as if he was a little dissatisfied.

The woman's face was indifferent and said: "Peng Song lost the holy relic, he still has the face to come back, and besides, everyone else in the team is dead, he is the only one alive, is there a possibility, that is, he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and at a critical moment, he abandoned the holy relic and the others in the team?" ”

"You, you, bloody squirt!"

Peng Song's eyes were blood-red.

He clearly remembered that it was his teammates who gave their lives to delay time for him to escape from his life.

It's not an escape at all, greedy for life and afraid of death!

"I'm spewing blood?" The woman sneered, "Even if I spew blood, you don't do a good job and apologize for your crimes, shouldn't you?" If I had lost the relics, I would never have returned, and even if I died, I would have perished with the enemy. ”

When the red-robed man heard this, a look of approval flashed in his eyes.

Fang Liang looked at the woman and clenched his fists tightly.

This guy picks up people's teeth and wives, and slaps horses, it's really shameless!

The red-robed man's gaze swept over the others and said, "What about the others?" Isn't there anything you want to say? ”

People in the back, you look at me, I look at you.

Among them, there are many who have a good relationship with Peng Song, who couldn't bear it when they saw him suffer such a big crime, but now when they hear it, the words of Fang Liang and the others just now are going to put Peng Song to death, and they can't bear it even more.

In addition, everyone present is doing the same thing.

Today, Peng Song was tortured to death because he lost the holy relics.

Then tomorrow, it is they who have lost the holy relics.

Is Peng Song a lesson for them?

So, in a sense, helping Peng Song is helping themselves.

"Your Excellency."

A black-robed man said loudly: "Peng Song, he has done his best for the church all these years, even if he has no merit, he has worked hard, this time he lost the holy relic, and he really deserves death, but Lord Bishop, can you give him a chance to make meritorious contributions for his diligence and punishment for so many years?" ”

"Yes, Lord Bishop," someone took the lead, and other voices also sounded one after another, "If next time, Peng Song still loses the holy relics, then I believe that without your help, Lord Bishop, he will commit suicide and apologize." ”

"Your Excellency, give him a chance."

Hearing more than a dozen voices and then pleading for himself, Peng Song breathed a sigh of relief.

With so many people pleading for him, today, he should be able to escape.

Well, if he knew that this would happen to him when he returned, he would rather flee somewhere else, although he would also be hunted down, but it was better than being subjected to such inhuman abuse.

Of course, now that everything has happened, it's too late to say anything.

His gaze swept over Fang Liang and the others who had spoken before.

If he has the opportunity in the future, he must make these two people pay for what he said today!!

"Oh?"

A playful smile appeared on the red-robed man's face, "There are so many people interceding for him." ”

The voice fell, and the hall was silent.

More than a dozen people who originally pleaded for mercy were so frightened that they quickly closed their mouths.

"Shall I praise you for the depth of your friendship? Or should I praise you for being a little clever? ”

He walked slowly towards the group, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

"You people, on the surface, are interceding for him, but in fact, you are thinking, if you fail the mission one day, you can still have a way to live when you come back, right?"

Everyone was so frightened that they quickly lowered their heads.

The uneasiness in Peng Song's heart became more and more intense.

What do you mean?

Your Excellency, is you resolutely unwilling to give him a way out?

"Do you remember what your situation was like before you entered the church? I can't even eat, I don't even have a place to live, and at any time I can be killed and eaten for meat, or die in the mouths of those fierce beasts in the wild.

What now? Well, not only do they not have to worry about food and clothing, but they also have the strength comparable to that of the awakened, these are all black devils, and they are all taught to you by black devils.

When you joined the Cult, you swore one by one that you were willing to give everything for the Dark Demon Sect, even if it was your own life.

Why, now that they have enjoyed the benefits of power one by one, they have become greedy for life and afraid of death, and they are no longer willing to sacrifice everything for the Dark Lord? ”

"Poof!"

Everyone knelt down in unison, shaking their heads and denying it.

Especially those who pleaded for Peng Song before, they cried bitterly.

Seeing this, the red-robed man regained the smile on his face and said, "Okay, get up, of course I know that you are loyal to the Black Devil Lord and are willing to sacrifice everything for the Black Devil Sect, and besides, you interceded for Peng Song, and also let me see the brotherhood in the Sect, but,"

He turned his words, looked at Fang Liang and the others who spoke before, and said: "Fang Liang was right just now, if this time, Peng Song's mission fails, and I let him go, then next time, someone fails in the mission, what should I do?"

Do you want me to let him go like this one? If I do, doesn't that mean that everyone has a chance to fail? In the future, who will take the task to heart? Right? ”

"Your Excellency Bishop is right." Fang Liang, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head and said: "If you don't follow the rules, you can't make a circle, Peng Song failed his mission, so he should apologize with death." ”

"That's right, Peng Song is to blame."

"The mission failed, and he still had the face to come back, I really don't know where he got the courage?"

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

Soon, all the voices became these three words.

Peng Song's face was pale, he didn't expect that the glimmer of life that seemed to be there just now would be gone so soon.

"Lord, Your Excellency."

With tears in his eyes, he pleaded, "Please, give me another chance, I will never, absolutely not let you down." ”

"It's not that I don't want to give you a chance, it's that everyone doesn't want to give you this opportunity."

The red-robed man sighed, and in his hand, a black ball that was twice as large as the previous black ball appeared.

The next moment, a stream of red and black qi flew out of Peng Song's body and converged towards the black ball.

And Peng Song's body, at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly became shriveled and old, and after a few seconds, there was a pile of clothes left, stacked on the ground.

Like those whom he sacrificed before.

Everyone looked at this scene with a look of indifference and fear in their eyes.

The red-robed man withdrew the black ball and looked at the people kneeling on the ground, very satisfied.

"The second thing I'm going to say, and it's very important, is about Ansan City, and you have to listen to it, because it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, both for me and for you." (End of chapter)
