In the dimly lit basement, two figures snuggled together.

Those two were none other than Viana and Tia.

There is no light source in the basement, only a few candles and matches to serve as a temporary light source...... There is also some messy wood, and it seems that this basement was originally used to store miscellaneous items.

However, it is precisely because they only have these light sources that they have to save a little ......

So, the mother and daughter are in the dark almost all the time.

Moreover, the basement door could not be opened, at least they did not know how to open it, and if they made it too loud, they might even be heard by people outside......

They can only snuggle up to each other tightly and feel each other's temperature in order to feel a little comfort in this dim environment.

But only a hint of it.

Except for the sheer darkness, the unknown ...... I don't know when this basement will be discovered, and then the fear of them being found hiding here is still tormenting their nerves.

In addition, it was dim here, and the light outside could not penetrate at all, so naturally I didn't know the outside...... The sun went down and rose a few more times.

Viana didn't know how long she and her daughter had been here, or how long they were going to be here...... She just felt that a long, long time had passed, and she even had the idea that maybe a whole week had passed.

However, even so, they can only wait again...... Waiting for the two benefactors to come and save them again.

"Mom......" At this time, Tia in Biana's arms said with a faint breath: "I...... I'm so hungry. ”

In addition to the above questions, there is an even more fatal question, that is, how long can they survive here?

There was no food in the basement, just water seeping out of nowhere, dripping from above, dripping to the ground to form puddles.

Vianna caught the water with one of the few containers she found in the basement, barely keeping it hydrated.

That's what they've been doing until now...... But even if the container was almost full at the moment, if there was no food, they would eventually reach their limit.

“…… Don't worry. Vianna could only barely squeeze out her voice, "It won't be long before those two gentlemen come to our rescue." ”

Although Bianna didn't know the bottom of her heart, she could only say that.

“…… Is it? That...... Just wait. Tia said, her voice getting weaker.

"......" listened to her daughter's voice, and Vianna felt her angina twitch.

Why? Why...... Will my daughter have to suffer such suffering? She obviously didn't do anything wrong!

Vianna suddenly felt resentful, her life was very hard and boring, she only spent her day after day toiling, and there was nothing worth mentioning in her life.

Therefore, she hopes that her daughter can live a different life...... Anyway, this is the end of my life, I just hope that my daughter can not live such a life again.

It can be said that her daughter Tia is everything to Vianna, and she is willing to give her life for it.

However, Viana never imagined that her daughter would suffer such a thing.

Disaster struck, my father died, and I had to follow myself to survive, and finally I had a little hope in life, just because I was slandered as a believer in some evil god! Everything was ruined again!

Bianna really hated it...... She hated herself.

Why are you so incompetent? Don't even have the ability to let your children grow up healthily!?

At this moment, Viana's stomach twitched.

The hunger pangs had become so severe that they turned into tangible blades, stabbing her stomach so hard that it almost pierced her spinal cord.

"......" Biana thought to herself, even if she was so unbearable, how much pain did this child endure?

So, Vianna couldn't help but force herself to stand up and lit a candle with a match.

“…… Mom? ”

"I ...... Then look for anything to eat. ”

Vianna dragged her body to action, she couldn't bear to see her daughter suffer any more...... If she doesn't work anymore, then she will cut off her own flesh......

Then, just as Vianna was making up her mind, she suddenly saw a large mouse lying on the ground, motionless.

“…… That's great. Vianna grinned, "It's meat......"

……

Since then, Xiao Yi has been thinking about how to get the mother and daughter out.

However, the gentleman seemed to have disappeared and was never heard from again, Carl also looked decadent, and the people arranged by Herrell were still watching Xiao Yi unrelentingly.

It wasn't until some time later, perhaps because there was really nothing to gain, that the watchers relaxed their vigilance, which allowed Xiao Yi to seize the opportunity to avoid their surveillance and come to the entrance of the basement again.

"I remember it......" Xiao Yi opened the secret mechanism in the basement, and the door opened to him again.

It's just that...... As soon as he stepped into the basement, there was a burst of meaty aroma, accompanied by the solidified and silent air in the basement that hit Xiao Yi.

"What is this?"

Xiao Yi suddenly felt a sour feeling in his mouth, and he also suddenly felt that something was wrong in his heart, so he hurriedly quickened his pace.

Then, Xiao also saw that Viana was constantly adding firewood under a pot-like container.

The rising flames made the liquid in the container churn and rattle.

Vianna seemed to sense someone coming behind her and turned her head.

When she saw that it was Xiao Yi coming, she was immediately overjoyed.

"You're finally here! That's great...... My daughter, Tia, finally doesn't have to suffer here anymore...... By the way, you must be hungry, right? I just caught a big mouse! It must be delicious! ”

“…… What did you say? Xiao also listened and leaned to the side to take a look.

And then...... Xiao Yi's pupils contracted sharply into a tiny point, as if time had stood still, standing still.

"That's ...... Tia. ”

“…… Tia? Vianna had a blank look on her face, "Who is Tia?" ”

"Yes...... O your daughter. ”

“……”

Immediately afterward, a heart-rending cry of misery completely pierced the solidified air in the basement.

Xiao Yi no longer had the heart to care about these things, his breathing became rapid, and he instinctively took two steps back, his face full of disbelief.

"This must be ...... It's not real, it's all an illusion! It's that disgusting hallucination again! Wake up! Wake up...... Wake up. ”

Xiao Yi's voice gradually weakened, and even a little more pleading.

However, the smell of meat still filled his nostrils, making him sick to his stomach.

The white hand that came out of the pot-like container was still so petite......

No matter how much Xiao Yi wanted to believe that what he saw in front of him was an illusion at the moment, he couldn't deny it in his heart...... That's the reality.

"It's ...... It's unbelievable. ”

At this time, a familiar figure also stepped into the basement.

Herrell also frowned as he watched this scene.

"I was just thinking of loosening the surveillance a little bit to lure you into action and to find out the situation...... But I didn't expect such a thing to happen. ”

“……！”

As soon as she saw Herrell and saw Herrell's priest's attire, she hurriedly moved her knees on the ground, knelt down in front of Herrell, and pleaded continuously:

"I beg you...... Your Excellency! I plead with you for God's mercy! I must have been demonic...... Wrong! It must be the bewitchment of the evil gods! to commit such a sin! O God! Give me untold painful punishment! I only hope that you can have pity on that child and let her live in the next life...... Don't suffer like this again, don't ...... anymore As my child was born! I beg you! I beg you to ...... Kill me! ”

“…… God will forgive you. ”

As he spoke, Herrell took out a delicate, holy dagger from his body and handed it to Vianna.

"Deliver, then, from this endless suffering."

“……！” When Xiao also saw this, he couldn't care about letting those depressed thoughts fill his head, and hurriedly wanted to stop it!

"Wait......!"

But when Vianna saw the dagger again, she looked as happy as if she had been redeemed.

Then, she couldn't wait to take the dagger, and pulled out the blade that glowed with holy cold light.

Without the slightest hesitation, she stabbed the blade of the dagger into her throat.

"Ah...... Ah......h

And just like that, Vianna fell to the ground.

Her face at the moment no longer had the same painful look as before, but ...... A relieved look was revealed.

"......" Xiao also looked at this scene.

Again...... Someone died in front of him, and ......

Xiao Yi only felt that something was stinging in his heart.

Reality...... It has long been more tormenting than the so-called hallucinations.

At this moment, Xiao is more willing to believe that the reality in front of him is an illusion than the terrifying hallucinations he has seen.

"Now that you're going to continue to believe that the evil gods don't exist?" "This mother loves her daughter so much," said Herrell, coming to Vianna, "and, after a day or two, it is impossible for her to act so madly because of hunger." There is no doubt that she was bewitched by the illusion created by the evil god, which caused such a tragedy. ”

"Evil God...... Is it an evil god again? Anger surged in Xiao Yi's eyes.

Xiao Yi is now even beginning to expect that the evil god is real, so as to ...... He can avenge those who died because of the evil gods!

"If the evil gods are allowed to act recklessly, more people will inevitably die."

Hereel crouched down, pulled out the dagger, wiped the sticky blood from it with his clothes, and his eyes flashed with determination!

"No matter what, I'm going to get rid of the evil god once and for all! No matter what means! I've already said that I'm not going to look back......"

Then, as soon as Herrell finished speaking, someone else came to the basement.

Is that...... Shaw is also familiar with people.

“…… Tess!? ”

Xiao didn't expect Gladys to appear here.

At this moment, Gladys, guarded by several inquisitors, came here for some reason.

She didn't wear restraints like shackles, and she didn't look like she was being abused.

I don't know if it's because these people despise her because she's just a child...... Or is it because they still retain a shred of human conscience.

“…… Brother? Seeing Xiao Yi, Gladys was also surprised.

But soon, her attention was diverted by something else.

“…… Yes. ”

Looking at the tragic situation in the basement, even the inquisitors' faces changed, not to mention Gletis.

"Someone else...... Died. ”

And...... One of them, although some of them are unrecognizable, is indeed known to themselves...... No, it's the girl I slandered.

It's yourself...... Kill her.

Gladys froze in place.

"You're here. I didn't expect this to happen, so I just let you come......"

Herrell did not get up, but put the dagger back on his waist in front of Gletis, and then crouched in front of Vianna's corpse, doing some ritual.

At the same time, Herrell said to Gletis:

"It seems that your judgment is correct, they died because of the evil god, and they are one of the targets of the evil god. In this case, Ling's judgment has reference value, okay, it's time to name the next character related to the evil god, right? ”

“…… She didn't know anything. Xiao also said to Herrell: "There is no point in you doing this! ”

"I have already said it......" said Herrell, "I will use whatever means!" As long as it works! ”

"......" Then, at this moment, Gladys listened to Herrell's words and suddenly made an action that surprised everyone!

“……！”

Gladys suddenly rushed at Herrell and pulled out the dagger from his waist in one fell swoop! And then...... Before everyone, including Herrell himself, could react, Gladys stabbed Herrell in the neck with a dagger!

"What......!?"

At this moment, everyone was stunned.

And Xiao Yi also saw it, something he had never seen on Gladys's face before...... That fierce look.

"Die!" Gladys gritted her teeth, tears streaming uncontrollably, "You killed Sister Lyti!" I'm going to kill everyone else, let's die! You are a believer in evil gods! ”

"Ah......h

Herrell seemed to want to say something, but he didn't have a chance to say more, so he fell to the ground and didn't move again.

No matter what Herel says, he is just an ordinary person, and it is inevitable that he will be killed by a child with a blade.

Person...... It's that vulnerable.

“…… Tess, you ......"

Xiao couldn't recover from his surprise yet, but then, he saw Gladys pull out the dagger! And then...... And he aimed the blade at himself!
