Matt was pressed behind the crowd. He just took a tentative look inside, and then he was so frightened by the scene that he yelled out.
He saw the miserable state of the hotel owner he was in contact with, and followed the corpse's empty gaze to see the wall.
The words smeared with blood were still glowing with bright scarlet at this moment, greatly impacting the hearts of everyone present.
Evil and profound.
It was as if a door to the abyss was connected to the world at this moment, releasing the demons trapped inside.
Matt shivered involuntarily, feeling like his consciousness was in a trance, and his body felt cold.
call.
It was as if there was an invisible presence blowing gently on the back of his neck.
!!!
Goosebumps spread all over his body in an instant. Matt turned his head in panic, but saw nothing.
"What happened? Was Benson killed by his enemies?"
Matt is just a small patrol soldier who secretly accepts some arrangements from his immediate boss to connect with the inn owner Benson and secretly transport some "goods" to the nobles in the aristocratic circle.
It's not that he doesn't know what those goods are, but he's not interested in their fate.
Don't get involved in things you shouldn't be involved in. If you reach out without permission, you will definitely be chopped off!
Matt had heard that the current king didn't like this kind of thing, but he didn't really care at all.
What is the true foundation of a country?
Is he that arrogant and arrogant king?
Of course not, the real big figures in this country are the great nobles.
Otherwise, look at how many kings have been changed from generation to generation and decrees have been issued. Aren't those nobles just doing what they should do?
Has there been any change?
No!
Besides, these businesses, in which each family is involved, have been in business for hundreds of years, so what could happen?
No matter how bad it is, I am just a small soldier. Even if something happens, there will still be someone above me to take care of him.
Another point is that Matt found that Benson, who was in contact with him, was very good at being a good person and would often prepare some benefits for him.
In addition to some financial support, Benson will also give him many benefits that he has never had access to before.
For example, with some fine-tuned goods, you can give him the key to a room before delivery so that he can enjoy it first.
And as long as he walked here, he could eat meat at Benson, which was very attractive to a soldier who was born as a poor tenant farmer.
Today, he came here even after hearing that the king's bodyguards would conduct inspections in person. There were two reasons.
On the one hand, he was afraid that Benson would expose himself and give him away. On the other hand, he also wanted to help as much as possible. After all, the other party was a long-term meal ticket.
Come to think of it, the King's Guards, who claim to be the forces of justice, wouldn't kill a shop owner, would they?
But he never expected that such a thing would happen...
Benson can no longer betray himself because he is dead.
Although it is a pity that I lost a meal ticket, it is a good thing.
As long as Matt doesn't go out and talk nonsense, the secret relationship between them can no longer be known to outsiders, which makes him finally feel relieved.
But at the same time, Matt also saw the "bacon" being hung up one by one, the knife marks on it, as well as the bones and skulls scattered in the corners of the room.
"not……"
Recalling the meat he enjoyed every time he came here, Matt's stomach began to churn and he was about to vomit.
The foul-smelling acidic water rushed up into his throat, forcing Matt to close his mouth tightly and take deep breaths through his nose, and finally managed not to spit it out on the spot.
The discomfort gradually subsided, and just when he breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt someone tapping his shoulder from behind.
With a bitterly cold palm!
【What are you afraid of?】
!!!
"Who is it! Who is talking!?"
Turning around suddenly, there was still nothing.
"It's this mistake again...what is it!?"
But just as Matt originally thought it was his illusion again, but this time it was different.
That's not an illusion.
In the room at this moment, there was indeed a monster made of shadows, staring at him.
Matt saw it.
Like an hallucination, he seemed to see a pair of eyes opening in the shadow behind him.
The cold eyes are as scarlet as blood and will make your whole body shiver.
Scarlet eyes were watching him quietly.
"Ahh..."
Matt wanted to shout, but his throat was strangled by an invisible force, and he couldn't scream at all. He could only stay in place tremblingly.
The next moment, a black shadow emerged from his shadow, eventually turning into a black-robed figure whose face could not be seen clearly.
All you can see is a pair of sneering eyes, and the
Boom.
Regaining control of his body, Matt stumbled and crawled backwards in horror.
"There's a monster out there watching me!"
However, no one responded.
"Can't you see it!?"
He looked at the king's soldiers who had suppressed him, and looked at their silent backs.
What are you doing!?
Why don't you speak!
His back was suddenly pressed against, and Matt reached back and felt something sticky on his hand.
He turned his head in panic, only to find that he had arrived at the wall at some point, and his body was covered in scarlet all over the wall.
Click.
The world in front of him seemed to be shattered, and Matt's will collapsed at this moment.
Ahhhh!
【demon】
"...It's a devil!"
The fear is constantly expanding in the heart, directly impacting the soul.
He began to cry and beg to the voice that kept approaching him:
"Don't come over here!"
"Kill you! Ahhh!"
"monster!"
As the figure got closer, the curse also changed.
In the end, my legs were shaking and the voice in my mouth turned into a sob that was close to a whimper:
"Let me go! I, I, I just obeyed that adult's order! I really..."
The devil's figure stopped in front of Matt, looking down at the poor guy on the ground with pity.
And at the last moment, Matt, who had been acting badly before, suddenly burst out and rushed towards the demon that frightened him.
"Die! Monster!"
The devil just slowly stretched out his hand and gently pressed Matt's head.
【Repent.】
Boom!
Matt's forward thrust immediately stopped, and he knelt down heavily on his trembling knees, forced to look up into those eyes.
All thoughts were cleared at this moment, and my mind was empty.
Matt slowly closed his eyes and heard the reassuring voice in his ears.
That voice, he said:
【Count all your sins.】
His eyes became dull, and Matt, who was completely broken, spoke unconsciously:
"Yes...my lord."
There was drool dripping from the corner of his mouth, and he whispered:
"Me and Benson..."
…
But in the eyes of others, it is a completely different scene.
The disheveled patrol soldier began to lose his composure after seeing the writing on the wall, his eyes dilated, and his whole body began to tremble.
He stared at the scarlet words and fell to his knees, wailing in an inhuman voice.
Ahhhhh!!!
The soldier captain came back to his senses because of his strange behavior, inadvertently clenched his fist hard, bumped the soldier beside him who was still immersed in it with his elbow, and said to him:
"Don't be in a daze. Control this guy first. He should know something."
But Matt didn't react at all to the soldier's approach. He first grabbed his throat, and then rushed towards the wall full of demons.
Boom!
He hit his head hard, and the loud sound startled the soldiers who chased him and held him down.
Being pushed to the ground, Matt looked ferocious with blood on his head, but his face was extremely pious.
He raised his head and said loudly to the blood on the wall:
"I'm guilty! I want to repent!"
"Benson and I committed the unforgivable sin!"
"This hotel is where Benson uses to catch homeless people. After he finishes cleaning up, I will send them there..."
The soldier holding him down wanted to stop Matt's mouth, but chose to stop under the look of the captain.
"I still can't forget the smell of that little girl... I never thought that such a woman could be caught in the slums."
"Yes, I heard that this beast Benson sold all his sisters to a nobleman. All the sisters..."
"Hahaha, I've been eating at his place, but I didn't expect it to be..."
"…………"
Listening to Matt's pious self-confession, the aura on the soldier captain's body became colder and colder.
And every time Matt said something, the faces of the other hotel clerks became paler, fearing that this would affect them.
Finally, after confessing his sins, Matt looked at the trembling guys with only the whites of his eyes.
The corners of his mouth were wide open, and his teeth were stained red with blood, and he showed a bright and charming smile.
"By the way! There are them, they are also participants, I have seen them walk into a room..."
Hearing this, their expressions changed drastically. The guys looked at Matt who seemed to be possessed by a demon and shouted anxiously:
"You madman! Don't listen to his nonsense!"
"I do not know anything!"
"Don't believe him, he's gone crazy!"
They shouted anxiously, trying to prove their innocence, but each of them was hit hard in the abdomen by a soldier with a sword scabbard.
"Shut them up."
"yes!"
Boom!
Boom!
After receiving the order, the soldiers beat and kicked the shopkeepers without hesitation.
It was as if they had suppressed anger in their hearts after hearing those things, and they took this opportunity to vent their anger.
The captain of the soldier looked at Matt, who was still repenting at this moment, with an uncertain expression on his face.
"Praise my Lord!"
Listening to the constant chanting from Matt's mouth, the soldier captain gradually clenched his fists.
Looking at the bloody words on the wall, he read out in a low voice:
"demon……"
…
…
"I am a [brave]. Compared to those fallen guys, I am not a devil at all."
Opening his eyes, as the soul remaining on the wall dissipated, Ning Feng also felt that the vision in front of him was a little blurry.
"However, being able to enter other people's souls and consciousness... in a sense, it is indeed quite scary."
I'm so terrible.
"Besides, I don't want people like you to worship me, so don't get close to me."
Thinking of Matt who started praising him non-stop, Ning Feng waved his hand in front of his eyes in disgust, dispersing the energy that seemed to be nothing.
He knew nothing about the realm of gods and had no clue about the use of this energy.
Ning Feng was not interested in this power, but they still came forward regardless of whether he wanted it or not.
Just like an annoying licking dog with extremely low emotional intelligence, he stalks you to death.
"Tsk, I should have killed that guy completely before leaving."
But that would be missing an important "witness", which would be another troublesome matter.
Frowning his brows, Ning Feng suddenly thought of a possible idea.
"It's difficult... huh? How about this?"
This time, when those licking dogs gathered their energy again, Ning Feng tried to command them silently:
"You are worthy only of crawling at my feet."
As if language formed rules, the power of faith flew obediently towards Ning Feng's feet.
Then……
The moment it touches the shadow, it disappears in a "whoosh" moment.
ha!
Uh-huh~
It was as if he could hallucinate a lazy hum in his ears. Ning Feng raised his eyebrows slightly and hummed in the same way.
Look, it's simple, isn't it?
"Oh, it's done."
Yes, Ning Feng's idea is very simple.
This thing is definitely not a bad thing, but I really can't use it now, but there is a woman sleeping soundly who probably knows what to do.
Since it's a pity to lose it, then...
"Feed it to the cat!"
It's so luxurious.
If Arianna can use it, she can be made to understand what equivalent exchange is.
If it doesn't work...
What does that have to do with me?
After confidently solving his troubles, Ning Feng nodded happily and thought of some things he had ignored before.
Why do gods compete for faith?
"Belief is really a strange thing."
A belief in the undead that was born out of fear is actually no different from other pious beliefs.
"So, is this the reason why gods compete for faith?"
Evil gods spread fear with horrific death and blood, while good gods gain followers with various noble qualities.
No matter how you obtain faith, the power of faith makes no difference.
"Believers are lambs. It doesn't matter what method they use to snatch them away... It makes my head spin just thinking about it."
While Ning Feng was silent, Chu Yu seemed to finally be tired of the aimless journey, and asked with a slight frown:
"Devil, where are we going now? The king is sending people to arrest the contestants. Are we going to leave the city at night?"
We are teammates, you shouldn't tell me everything.
Ning Feng blinked and smiled sheepishly:
"Ah, I'm sorry, I haven't told you yet? That's it, we are now..."
The carriage slowly stopped, stopping Ning Feng's next words. He raised his hand to signal Chu Yu not to speak yet.
"Who are you?"
A ferocious skeleton holding a lamp walked to the car window and looked inside the car.
Ning Feng was not surprised by this, he gently opened the car window and said:
"We're from Greywater."
Facing the soldiers on guard, Ning Feng took off his hat and chuckled gracefully:
"I have here a personal letter from Sir Charles, which needs to be sent to His Majesty the King."
……king?
Chu Yu:???
With her eyes widened, she stared blankly at Ning Feng, who was talking cordially with a skeleton as usual.
"Please see, these are proof of our identity."
Handing the token of identity to the other party, Ning Feng turned his head and smiled at Chu Yu, who had a stunned expression, and blinked his left eye.
oops?
Haven't I told you yet?
Us.
Now we have to enter the palace.
Surprise or not?
Accident or not?
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
The batch that I ordered was really chilling, and I felt like I was going to die... I really can't write it for long if I go on like this.
Thanks to the children who are still reading every day, you are all my wings ()
