Chapter 147 For Whom the Bell Tolls

Chapter 147 For Whom the Bell Tolls (Part 2)

Chu Si stared at this strange corpse quietly.

There are always warriors who teach us to face death head-on. Death is not a terrible thing.

In fact, death is really not a terrible thing. For the life that has died, it is indeed not a terrible thing——

Because although he faced the pain of death, he lost his soul and consciousness as a result, and he could no longer truly see what happened after death...

For example: his hideous face, twisted limbs, and rotten minced flesh.

But living people can really see them.

At this time, people suddenly broke into a cold sweat and realized indifferently how fragile life is and how terrible death is!

When people fully feel the horror of death, fear is born and the spirit of rebellion thrives.

It is human nature to avoid gain and harm.

So people tried their best to stare at the "corpse" with wide eyes, and subconsciously looked for the spheres in the eyes of the corpse. By the way, they were shocked by... its shaky jaw, and the tongue pierced by two middle fingers.

It penetrated and was even torn in half by the bending of these two steel hook-like fingers.

It has been completely drained of blood, and has a pale texture like pork just taken out of the freezer.

It was more like a piece of broken paper, split in half from the middle, but the root of the tongue was still intact in its mouth.

Rather than saying that it was a poor guy who died of accidental drowning, it was better to say that it was a strange creature that died of cruelty.

The reason why he died of torture is because his thighs and calves were nailed together by steel nails more than 30 centimeters long, which forced both of his legs to bend his knees and kneel on the ground.

If you look closely, it turns out that his feet are also nailed under his buttocks with steel nails.

Normal people would not treat themselves like this.

Therefore, he died of being tortured and killed by others.

So why is he said to be a strange creature?

Because people can't see his nose and ears, the eyeballs in his eye sockets, and most of his head.

The most shocking thing is that his slave robe and white cloak are intact, but——

His skin was gone.

People were sure he was indeed a human being, but they couldn't identify him.

"Damn! Who is this guy!" Li Junyi screamed strangely, and whispered to Qu Youyou next to him, "Does it look like an old hen that has been skinned?"

Qu Youyou glanced at him: "Don't you think making fun of it in front of a dead person is a very bad behavior?"

"This person is dead. He can't hear or see anything. He can't pretend to be a corpse and jump up to ask me for an explanation. He can't do anything earth-shattering. I'll just say it. Youyou, this

He is just a dead person, you are too serious!"

Qu Youyou simply didn't know how to argue with such a person, so she simply stopped talking.

But Liu Meili rolled her eyes and said sarcastically: "If the unlucky guy hanging on the cross now is you Li Junyi, I really feel like you are like an old hen that has been skinned! There are so many metaphors.

Okay! Everyone, look! This

What a vivid image! Oh! Don’t stare at me! Isn’t it just a dead person! What if it’s really you who dies! You can’t pretend to be a corpse and jump up to trouble me! Besides, it’s not you who dies! I said

Just say it! Why are you so anxious?!"

Most of the onlookers were watching what was going on here as if they were watching a good show. Li Junyi could only glare at Liu Meili fiercely, but was speechless.

Lin Yikai sneered and patted Liu Haiyang on the shoulder: "I saw that steel nail looked familiar? Go ask Boss Zhen..."

Liu Haiyang didn't recover for a long time. Hearing this, his expression suddenly became a little nervous: "...Hmm."

"No, buddy, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing! It's nothing! I just feel a little scared when I see the dead..."

"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! It's just one person's death, it's not a big deal. If you don't do anything bad, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door! We haven't done anything harmful to God! Right!"

"Uh...right."

Hearing what Liu Haiyang said, Lin Yikai felt relieved and patted his shoulder again, comforting him with a few words.

Lin Yikai, who was always very nervous, did not notice Liu Haiyang's abnormality, but Qu Youyou, who was leaning on Wan Yuanlai's shoulder and watching a show a few people away, noticed something was wrong...

She raised her eyebrows and stood next to Xie Dongdong. Looking at the man's thoughtful profile, she deliberately lowered her voice and asked, "Did you find anything? Mr. Xie."

Xie Dongdong glanced at her, a trace of interest flashed in his eyes, and his lips curved: "It seems that you have discovered something, Miss Qu, right?"

Qu Youyou chuckled, her eyes slightly lowered, her long and curly eyelashes barely covering her pair of gray-brown eyes. Under her straight bridge of nose, her small cherry mouth revealed a sweet smile, her voice was cute and cute.

To the extreme, she took Xie Dongdong's elbow and stood on tiptoes in front of the man:

"Why don't we make an appointment and we can talk slowly?"

Xie Dongdong shook his head thoughtfully: "Miss Qu's boyfriend, Mr. Wan, he lives under the same roof as me."

"But... isn't what we want to talk about serious business?" Qu Youyou stared at him with a pair of eyes, showing a charming and charming look, "I think Brother Yuanzi will understand us~"

Xie Dongdong laughed noncommittally, and the two looked at each other understandingly, then turned to the other side.

——

Ye Zhaoling stood numbly not far from the cross. Seeing the corpse kneeling almost directly in front of her, Shirakawa Rensuke leaned over slightly and said, "Why don't you stay away?"

"...Is it necessary?" Ye Zhaoling thinks it is completely unnecessary. Where should I stand? "...I can't see anything anyway."

"There is indeed no need to change positions, but we are only three steps away from it; this is not a big problem. In fact, there are many ways to prevent the filthy bugs from crawling on the body..." Shirakawa Rensuke said lightly,

But in fact, he didn't see anything that looked like insects.

Ye Zhaoling consciously took Shirakawa Rensuke's hand: "I suddenly remembered that I'm bleeding. Let's stand farther away, Mr. Shirakawa Rensuke..."

"You can call me Rensuke, no matter how you call me..." Shirakawa Rensuke leaned forward with a smile, his thin lips almost brushing her earlobe, "But you can definitely call me more intimate, which will make us appear more intimate.

The plan is more seamless..."

Ye Zhaoling blinked: "Standing among so many people, I'm not so scared anymore. It's impossible for the murderer to attack me in public now, right?"

"You have the right not to be afraid, and I also have the obligation to protect your safety, my little Ling'er." He smiled lowly and pulled Ye Zhaoling to stand in a corner away from the cross and the corpse.

Ye Zhaoling was so intimate and ambiguous that he felt like there were ants crawling all over his body. After being led stiffly to stand, he quickly took out his hand, but failed.

"Mr. Baichuan..."

"...This bouquet of flowers?"

"Ah? What?"

Ye Zhaoling, who was caught off guard and was questioned, was a little confused. Rensuke Shirakawa picked up the bouquet of tulips on the table, lowered his head and smelled the fragrance of the flowers, and asked gently: "This bouquet of flowers was given to you by Rust."

Ye Zhaoling raised his head, his eyes blank. This bouquet of flowers was given to him by that strange man, not Lord Rust...

Rensuke Shirakawa stretched out two fingers, picked up the gold-gilt card inside the bouquet, and shook it gracefully. The card made a crisp sound in his hand. He stared at it for a few seconds, and said in a gentle and caring tone:

"Tulips look up from the sand, bearing the night dew in preparation for the pilgrimage. Please also raise your cup and get drunk until the jade mountain falls to the ground - like an empty cup."

"Signed - Rust."

Ye Zhaoling raised her hand and slapped him on the wrist, then fumbled for a while, but couldn't find the card.

"……Give me."

Rensuke Shirakawa could clearly see the confusion and panic in her expression. This poem praising tulips did not bring her any good feelings. Instead, the blood on her cheeks instantly fell apart.

So he put away the card and put the tulips into her arms.

"Tulips have the effect of sedating and calming the nerves. They contain a large amount of alkaloids, which can directly act on human nerves, increase the activity of nerve cells in the human body, and treat various adverse symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, neurasthenia, insomnia, and dreaminess.

All have very good therapeutic effects.”

Ye Zhaoling stayed where she was holding Tulip: "...Huh?"

Rensuke Shirakawa led her to the crowd.

Father Chus had already finished listening to the oracle in the center of the church. The Virgin's Rose Window sprinkled the church with orange-red and colorful colors. Everything was enveloped in the sacred light, and people felt a sense of awe for everything in front of them.

Chu Si faintly glanced at the body hanging on the cross, and his eyes finally fell on the small sailboat on the table.

"Today, I told a story for the children..."

The beaker on the table shouted: "I know! It's the story of a brave man! The name of this brave man is Jason! Jason is looking for the Golden Fleece!"

The priest nodded kindly: "The beginning of the story is extremely beautiful."

Lao Mushroom said at the right time: "The ending of the story is often extremely tragic."

The vines climbed up the table, and a clear voice echoed in the church: "Jason, he was originally a prince of a Greek country. However, when Jason was still very young, his uncle launched a rebellion and usurped his father.

His father was worried that Jason would be implicated, killed by his uncle, or encounter other dangers, so he secretly sent him to a teacher named Chiron."

"Chiron sympathized with Jason's plight and tried his best to teach him. Jason lived up to expectations. In twenty years, he has grown into a heroic warrior."

"So, he bid farewell to Chiron and prepared to go back and regain the throne he deserved."

"Jason has come to his own country."

"But Jason's uncle didn't want to give up the throne honestly. He called Jason in front of him and said hypocritically: If Jason could help him find the rare treasure-the Golden Fleece, he would be willing to give it up.

Jason agreed to give up the throne."

"So Jason set out on a glorious expedition to find the Golden Fleece."

Chus looked at the vines with great relief: "Yes, Jason, who piloted the Argonaut ship to find the Golden Fleece, became famous and became a famous hero far and wide——"

"But what I didn't tell you is that it was Jason, the legendary hero, who single-handedly made the tragic life of the princess Medea, and also made himself beyond redemption."

The old mushroom sighed: "In ancient Greece, the hero Jason who once stole the "Golden Fleece" abandoned his wife and son and found a new love, forcing his ex-wife Medea to become the goddess of revenge."

Chus retold the story of the Golden Fleece. Jason drove the Argonaut to search for the Golden Fleece. During the adventure, he met the princess Medea and gained her love. Therefore, with the help of Medea, he obtained the Golden Fleece.

He won the Golden Fleece and became a famous hero.

But later, when he fell in love with a younger and more beautiful princess, he abandoned Medea and their two children without hesitation and found a new love.

"Medea was in despair, and was anxiously wandering around in her husband's palace: 'Oh my God, how can I live in such a miserable life? Let death have mercy on me! Oh, my father, my hometown, I left despicably.

You! Ah, brother, I killed you, and your blood is now flowing towards me! But it is not my husband Jason who should punish me, I committed the crime for his sake. Ah, Goddess of Justice, please destroy him,

Destroy his young mistress!'"

But she still wanted to make one last effort to point out his treachery to her husband so that he would change his mind.

"She walked up to Jason and said: 'You betrayed me, and now you have found a bride and abandoned your children. If you had no children, I could forgive you, but now I cannot forgive you.

Do you think that the god who listened to your oath of loyalty to love no longer exists? Do you think that now that there is a new law, you can break your oath? Now, I ask you as a friend, where do you want me to go?

?Do you want to send me back to my father? That's where I betrayed him for you and killed his biological son and my biological brother. Have you forgotten? Where else can you put me?

If your ex-wife leads your son to wander around like a beggar, what glory will you have in your face?'"

"Jason was indifferent. He only promised to give her and the children a sum of money, and wrote to friends everywhere to take her in."

"Medea was completely disappointed in him. She no longer had any illusions about him, but she still tearfully forgave him for his mistakes in front of Jason. But did she really forgive Jason?"

"Of course not. But Jason really thought she had forgiven him, so he was overjoyed and made various guarantees to Medea and the children. Medea used sweeter words to convince him that she had

No longer resenting him, she asked her husband to leave the children in the palace and leave her alone. In order to obtain the consent of the bride's father, the king, she took out a precious gold piece from her storeroom.

The robes were given to Jason to give to the bride as a gift. Jason hesitated for a while and finally agreed. He sent a servant to give the gifts to the bride. But these precious robes were soaked with

They were sewn with poisonous potion materials. After Medea said goodbye to her husband hypocritically, she waited all the time for the news that the bride had accepted these gifts. A reliable servant would tell her the news. The servant finally

Panting, she ran over and shouted from a distance: 'Medea, get on the boat and run away! Your enemy and her father are both dead.'"

In this way, the angry Medea poisoned Jason's new love and her father. At the same time, in order to retaliate against Jason, she killed her two children with her own hands. Later, she even gradually eliminated all the people with Jason.

Relevant people.

After experiencing a series of blows, Jason fell from the proud throne of a hero and became a lonely loser.

Finally, in his later years, Jason often returned to the Argo, sitting under the bow of the ship and recalling his past heroic deeds. Suddenly one day, while Jason was taking a nap, he was hit by a heavy weight dropped from the bow of the Argo.

The wood was smashed to death.

"Jason personally created Medea, one of the three major tragedies of ancient Greece."

Chu Si said this, his smile became more loving: "One person's tragedy is usually caused by another person. This is a fact, and it is the truth."

"My dear children... I have warned you countless times, thirteen commandments, thirteen commandments! As long as each of you can honestly abide by the thirteen commandments of the Golden Sun Sanctuary! Then your

Life will not go to extremes! You will not really open the Pandora's box that will make you fall into a situation of no return!"

"Once you open this evil box, cruel punishment will be waiting for you..."

"You..." Chu Si looked around, his blue eyes filled with the light of wisdom, "I believe you are not willing to accept punishment, are you? Everyone has seen the way we execute evil people..."

"I don't think that method is appropriate, because it is too cruel and inhumane. However, those are our rules, and those are the obligations we must carry out! Even if the process of punishment..."

His last voice was melodious and beautiful: "It is worse to live than to die."

Old Mushroom added: "It is not an exaggeration to say what Mr. Chus said. Give an obedient child a candy and give a naughty child a stick. This is how human parents educate their cubs. Although our punishment

It’s impersonal, but it’s very reasonable! It’s completely in line with the rules of conduct of our Golden Sun Reserve.”

"It's just that the punishment we give to evil people must be the most severe punishment, and that is-"

"die."

"Only death sends my sincerest greetings to the Sun God!"
