"Obsession becomes a martyr, a Buddha becomes a demon. ”

Imperial capital.

The darkness seemed to be far away from the vast study, and the expensive magic crystals inlaid in the corners of the walls were used only for nighttime lighting, and a few delicately shaped lampstands were set up in clever places in the room, and there seemed to be no shadow in any corner of the room, more than day.

Standing on the side of the three-meter-square brown sunken wood desk, the clerk read the lengthy document in his hand without any fluctuations, and occasionally looked up to find that the young monarch in front of him seemed to be distracted, his cold brows furrowed slightly, and his sharp eyes fell on the unknown place behind him with a bit of thought, stagnating.

The hesitant document continued to read, looking up repeatedly and peeking uneasily, finally confirming his guess. I couldn't help but shout.

"Your Highness, Your Highness?"

"Huh?" The cold eyebrows calmed slightly, adjusted his sitting posture, and his eyes pulled back to the clerk beside him.

His Royal Highness's scrutinizing eyes were so terrifying, he couldn't help but feel a chill, his calves trembled unconsciously, and Wen Jue regretted it for a while. Although His Royal Highness in front of him was notoriously kind, he was not a good stubble after all, and he couldn't help but peek at the documents that had been reviewed and sentenced to death next to his hand. Will he be killed by His Highness because he grabbed the bag and was distracted? After all, His Royal Highness the Great Prince's paperwork was just a mistake and hung up. He, a miscellaneous soldier substitute who was temporarily transferred because of the absence of the main deputy, will disappear anytime and anywhere, and no one will know about it. A drop of sweat on the paperman's head.

"Reply to Fred, the number of people reported by the army is wrong, and ask him to directly forward the results of the verification to the eldest prince. Let's go down. ”

Peng Xiu waved his hand, and watched with some amusement as he fled from the paperwork. Touching his face, is he so terrible, and I didn't see that group of cubs afraid of him. He was just listening to the trite and boring reports, and occasionally from the slightly curled black hair on the paperman's head, he thought of the thin guy with the same black curly hair. The cubs, I don't know what's going on.

Peng Xiu stood up, moved his somewhat stiff body, and stood by the window. It was late at night, and the night outside the house was like a deep black hole. Like the first time I saw that guy, the eyes covered under the black fine curly hair were bottomless and unforgettable.

If you can't break through life and death, obsession becomes death, and Buddha becomes a demon. But for a moment.

I'm the dividing line quietly lying on my stomach***

When the human chrysalis appeared in front of everyone again, the brown branches were like crazy, attacking everywhere in an orderly manner, and they could even hear a sharp roar, like a trapped beast.

"She's dead. You know. Sunshadow said calmly. "If killing everyone could resurrect someone, I would do it. But not so. In the calm voice, there is a hidden sadness. "No matter what you do, there is no way she will be resurrected. The only way you can stop thinking about her is if you die too. ”

"Brother Ying, don't talk nonsense with him, just cut that girl. Miga said fiercely, easily blocking the attacks around him.

"That's not who he is. Sunshadow said.

"What? It's not that thing or what can it be? It's not the human chrysalis, what does it run?" said Miga.

"Brother Shadow, do you see what the body is?" Mott replied. "Are you sure that thing isn't the core?" asked, pointing to the chrysalis.

"I suspect it may be a Victorian plant or a pet, and most likely a variant of Iris. He gave birth to a spirit that would protect what was most important to him. That Victoria's body was the most important thing to him. Sunshadow said.

"What! This monster is one of those little purple flowers? How did this mutation come into this? This can't be. Irises are not very big, how did it become like this. Melson said. "When I go back, I will ask the gardener to pull out all the plants in the yard for me. ”

"Ro, do you have any information about Victoria herself?" said Sunshadow, looking at Robert.

"Nope. Robert thought for a moment and shook his head. "The information of the owner of this house is very scarce and there is not much detail. It seems that it is only said that they moved here from the Holy Court of Light. ”

Hearing this, Sunshadow's pupils were shocked, and although his face did not change, his brows couldn't help but betray his emotions. But he calmly continued. "It's not strange what is there. This iris may have come from somewhere, and it was given a sapient mind under Victoria's care. Or maybe it's inherently intelligent. But Victoria is dead, it's trapped here, demonized. ”

"The things of the Bright Holy Court have been demonized!" Miga looked shocked.

"What's so strange about the fact that anything can be demonized. Not to mention that it also opens up the mind. Robert answered.

"That's interesting. Will the Bright Holy Court kill us because we know this?" Mi Jian Liangliang asked.

"They're going to kill you because of the heretical idea that you think they're going to kill people. Mott said. "Otherwise, you won't know if you take the opportunity to die here. Haha......"

"It seems that you are very knowledgeable, haven't you done these things before...... Former Mr. White Knight. Mi Jian spoke in a strange tone, and finished the last few words very slowly.

"Do you want to die?" Mott's face changed slightly, his expression was no longer as relaxed as before, and he raised his sword seriously.

"Mi Jian!" Robert shouted. "You can't touch the scales, don't you understand this truth?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Mi Jian already regretted it. He didn't expect Mott to be serious, he heard Robert's rebuke, and while he looked at Robert, he also felt two strong killing intents. One came from Mott in front of him, and the other came from the shadow of the sun standing beside Robert.

Mori Leng's killing intent struck in their direction, and Hikage's eyes seemed to be looking at a stranger with a ruthless and murderous intent. Miga palpitated for a while, but when he didn't have time to distinguish the truth of the situation, the killing intent disappeared again, as if he had never done it again. When he made it closer, the Hikage's eyes were as cold as usual.

"Mott, go back and beat him up again. Sunshadow spoke. "Go and find the master bedroom with the ghost and see if there are any clues. ”

Under the continuous destruction of the brown branches and the continuous contraction of the self of the Sun Shadow and his party, the room that was originally full of monsters gradually revealed its true appearance, revealing the exquisite decorations and traces of life in the past, as well as the corpses everywhere that have not been consumed by the monsters and time. Mo nodded and turned to follow the floating black mist-like ghost.

"You're in luck...... Jie Ji ...... I happened to be there...... There's something interesting somewhere......" the ghost said as he floated.

"I'm sorry, Brother Shadow. I didn't mean to. I'm just kidding. Mi Jian said.

"Go back and stay with Mott. "Sunshadow Mimi Eyes. "Solve it first. Erasing the brief unpleasant interlude, Sunshadow shifts everyone's attention to the monsters that are still resisting them. It's just that it seems to be a loss of strength, and the resistance is much weaker. In the midst of the crowd episode, Miga didn't intervene and blocked all the monsters' attacks alone.

"Brother Shadow, do you want to take the woman's body down first, it's important to this monster anyway, isn't it?" Melson asked as he stepped forward and looked eager to try.

Sunshadow nodded. "Try not to slash her. ”

Before the words of the Japanese shadow could fall, Melson and Miga had already jumped up quickly and jumped away. Sunshadow didn't move, looking at their backs. Robert walked over and stood beside him.

"Shadow has seen this plant?" asked Robert.

"Nope. Sunshadow shook his head, and continued in the face of Robert's doubts. "But I've heard something about the Holy See. Have you ever heard of the Chosen Gods?" asked a little casually, but Sunshadow clenched his fist slightly.

"What are your plans, about the Holy Court?" asked Robert, confused. If there was such a plan in the Empire, he would definitely know about it, but he hadn't even heard of it, so it was more likely to come from the Holy See?

Hearing Robert's answer, Sunshadow seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. There was a rare tremor of uneasiness in the calm and indifferent voice, "The Holy See is doing some inhumane forbidden experiments, and the number of experiments in them is very large, not only human experiments, but also plant experiments, since Victoria is from the Holy See, it is very likely to be related." ”

"Wouldn't it be Victoria herself?" asked Robert.

"Then the person standing here to deal with this matter now will not be us. Sunshadow calmly watched the backs of Melson and Mica attacking, and continued. "The people of the Holy Court are everywhere, if Victoria has the ability of such a monster, even a corpse is very valuable for them to study, right? Even if she has become a corpse, those people will take it back and carefully disassemble it, and divide it into pieces to study the ability mutation. ”

I don't care about how bloody and violent it is, as if it's a common thing. But for the general population, it is unthinkable.

Sunshadow continued to analyze. "Plants don't have to decompose, and they probably can't move. This spiritual intelligence is not very high now, and it has not become a fixed form, whether it is to let people enter the illusion realm, or to absorb the essence of others, it is just a survival instinct, and it is more maintained on the basic attributes of plants, and it has not evolved too much ability. And ......"

"And what?" Robert asked, seeing Sunshadow's silence.

"It's the most suitable hunting ground here. There are a large number of ignorant people, and boring fantasies and legends, so that the follow-up people of Qianpu become its nourishment. ”

"How is it possible, could it be that the Holy Court knowingly allowed this guy to hunt and kill humans here as nutrients......?

"Luo. The Shadow interrupted Robert's words, his voice as calm as ever, but Robert felt a seriousness that he had never felt before. "There are some things that are better off on a blind eye and a deaf ear. Don't dig deeper. That's it. ”

"Me. Robert wanted to say something more. But the shadow of the sun had already moved forward.

By this time, Micah and Melson had already taken the pupae, and most of the brown branches were limp, and some of them were whimpering and screaming inaudibly.

Sunshadow sliced through the skin of the human chrysalis with precision with his Hidden Blade. A terrifying and high-pitched cry seemed to come from within. Victoria in the chrysalis is just sleeping quietly, like silk black green silk against the ruddy cheeks, cheeks condensed with new lily, nose greasy goose fat, exposed arms, skin like clotted fat fresh and smooth, full of vitality.

"Is she really dead?" asked Miga.

"It's really dead. Robert reached out and talked about snorting. The person in front of him has long since lost his pulse.

Sunshadow continued to destroy the appearance of the human chrysalis, peeling off the whole soft branch from Victoria's body little by little, until at last only this cluster of green branches was still glued to the back, unlike the other disgusting brown branches, this cluster glowed with a glowing green light, soft and refreshing with life.

"No, please, don't. A weak, childish voice interrupted Hikagemoto's hand without hesitation.

"She's dead. Sunshadow said tirelessly.

"It can be resurrected, it can be resurrected!" the weak, childish voice continued to come from nowhere. "They...... Didn't they just do it? The bastards killed Victoria and Nemi, but told me that if you keep trying, you can do it!"

"Did they succeed? They tried for I don't know how many years, and I don't know how much power they used, did they succeed?" "They killed her, you know why. ”

"I don't know, I don't know. She can be resurrected. Can ......"

Sunshadow closed her eyes. There are so many emotions that will leak out in his eyes now, he can't suppress it, he doesn't want the people around him to read it.

"Who are you talking to?" Melson and the others looked surprised when they saw that Sunshadow was about to cut off the green branch, when he suddenly stopped, and seemed to be talking to someone.

Yes...... A shrill cry came from behind them from behind the Sunshadow.

Turning around, I saw Mott holding a petite and cute bonsai plant in his hand, with a red square porcelain flower edge, obviously loved and cherished, but just after Melson's conversation, it was rubbed with a short knife. Unlike other plants, this plant has red sap flowing from it, like human blood.

Yes...

Then there was a short voice of surprise. It's Miga. The crowd followed the line of sight.

The corpse of Victoria, who was alive, withered in an instant, turning into a shriveled female corpse with a foul stench.
