Chapter 44: Murder by Words
Legend has it that there is a type of demon that can deceive people the most, and the more you say, the more it can confuse you. It can follow your words, all the way to your heart, until it swallows up all your feelings, all your memories, until you become a puppet, at its mercy.
The demon that turned into an old butler may be like this.
Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and they all remembered this rumor, and they all fell silent.
"Your name is Ding Cheng, right?" the old butler's voice sounded unhurriedly outside the window.
It was Ding Cheng who was stopped by the commander just now.
He was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and was about to open his mouth to reply, when the commander slammed his palm and stopped him with a sharp look in his eyes.
"I know you. Your wife is the most beautiful girl in the whole town, and it is really a blessing for you to marry her...... You still have a daughter, and she's not even three years old this year, but it's a pity. The old butler continued to speak slowly outside the window.
"You, who the hell are you!What are you going to do? You demon, I warn you, stay away from my wife and children, or I will kill you! I swear, I will definitely kill you!" Ding Cheng was so angry and anxious that his body trembled uncontrollably. His wife, his daughter, is his life! He can't imagine what reason he has to live in this world if he loses them!
He remembered that these days, the old housekeeper often came to them for family cooking, and often brought some wine and food to their group, and his attitude was very good. At that time, he thought that this old housekeeper was worthy of being the right-hand man of the alliance leader's family, a person of this status, not only did not put on a show at all when he spoke, but also thought about them everywhere, and asked for warmth every day, and even said that he would ask someone to bring gifts to their relatives in their hometown.
Now that he thinks about it, he really hates! He hates that his eyes are blind, that his heart is blindfolded by lard, how can he not see the true face of this demon!
"You just need to move your footsteps, it doesn't take too much, just move three points, and I'll keep your family safe. ”
Ding Cheng's body trembled when he heard this, his eyes were red, and beads of sweat the size of beans couldn't stop popping out.
"Ding Cheng, look at me, look at me! This is a demon who deceives people's hearts! Fallacies cannot be trusted!" the commander shouted loudly.
"I know, my wife and daughter...... I can't ......" Ding Cheng was a big man, his shoulders were shaking violently uncontrollably at the moment, and he was crying profusely.
"You sober me up! Ding Cheng, you know, Wubao Town is more than two hundred miles away from here! No matter how powerful the demon is, there is no way to go so far to harm people in a short period of time!"
The butler laughed a few times, and the candlelight flickered, shining on his projection through the window screen, like a ghost with teeth and claws: "More than two hundred miles, for you mortals, it is very far, but for us, it is just a meal! If you don't believe it, I'll arrest people now, take out their hearts and lungs, and show you!"
"No, I believe it, I believe it, please don't ......" Ding Cheng's psychological defense has been completely defeated, and he may move his steps at any time!
"You are confused! Ding Cheng, let me tell you, as long as we don't move, these demons will not be able to leave the Lu Mansion! This is what the Lord of the Lu League said personally! The words of the demons are the most unbelievable! If they can leave, why do they threaten you in every possible way and ask you to leave your post? Think about it!
Ding Cheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly sobered up a lot. yes, if you can leave, why do you have to let me go?
"Hahaha! Ridiculous, ridiculous! You're here, you're just blocking Miss! The rest of us can come and go freely! Did your alliance leader ever say that you can block anyone except Miss?" the butler craned his neck and laughed.
Yes, the leader of the Zhang League only said that they could stop the young lady from leaving the house as long as they stood at their posts, but they never said that they could block other things......
Ding Cheng hesitated again.
"Ding Cheng! I'll give you ten breaths of time! If you don't remove your feet after the ten breaths have passed, I will immediately rush to Wubao Town, dig out your wife and daughter's hearts and lungs, and then throw them in front of you! I will do what I say!" The housekeeper saw that Ding Cheng seemed to have wavered, and immediately added another fire.
"I ...... I listen to you...... Ugh!"
Ding Cheng had completely surrendered in his heart, and was about to do what the housekeeper said, but unexpectedly he suddenly felt a tightness in his neck, and his back and chest were also in severe pain at the same time!
He turned his head with difficulty, only to see the Commander slowly pulling his hands back.
His body was pierced diagonally by two javelins, which stood cross-legged on the ground, erecting him before he was dying, so that he would not fall to the ground and destroy the formation after his death.
His neck was tightly strangled by chains, which continued to exude a force that stiffened all his bones from the neck down, making him unable to struggle when he was dying.
"Ding Cheng, don't blame me. This situation was already expected by the leader of the Zhang League, and he explained that I would do it. Your wife and daughter, the Heavenly Dao Alliance will take care of it, don't worry, they will definitely be taken care of well. If I die, it's the same. The Commander had tears in his eyes, but his tone was extremely firm.
"I don't blame you, Commander. Thank you, you must take care of them! If they are not doing well, I will ...... I won't let you go if I am a ghost!" The last few words, Ding Cheng almost used all his strength and roared out. The chains grew tighter and tighter, and what really killed him was not the javelin that pierced his body, but suffocation.
"Xie Xiangming, your family lives in Dongwangpo. ”
Before everyone could recover their strength, the old butler called another person's name outside the window.
It's just forcing people to die!
When Xie Xiangming heard his name, his head slammed to the ground, and it seemed that he was about to explode on the spot!
His body seemed to freeze at that moment, and he didn't know how to react. He felt that reality was so unreal, how could this kind of thing be his turn?
What to do? What to choose! He never knew that a choice was so difficult!
Is it like Ding Cheng, who was held up by two javelins, or let the monster go to his house to kill his old father?
"Xie Xiangming! Ignore him! The purpose of the monsters is to disturb our minds and make us mess with ourselves! Don't be surprised, their monsters will defeat themselves! As long as we hold this place, the demons will have no way to start! Ding Chengcheng will be taken advantage of by the demons because he is in a mess! If they can get out, why are they talking nonsense here again and again? Think about it!"
"Luo Ziqiang! Your family lives in Yushu Township!"
"Ji Li, your family lives in Dongyachi!"
"Zu Dequan, your family lives in Lichuan Dam!"
......
Outside the window, the housekeeper began to take a roll call one by one!
"Steady! Everyone, hold me steady! Even if we move away, the demons won't let us and our families go!Don't be fooled!" the commander was anxious, he roared loudly, the green tendons on his neck bursting out, and his eyes were wide open, as if they were about to stare at blood. He felt things spiraling out of control!
