With a gun in his hand, Ross finally had the capital to talk, and the two sides started chatting.
Ross wanted the other party to help find his daughter, but a middle-aged woman who was the leader of the other party asked her for help to eliminate the devil.
After much discussion, the two sides finally reached an agreement: Ross would first help the middle-aged woman named Dalia to eliminate the demon, and then these people would help Ross find his daughter.
This agreement is undoubtedly extremely unfair to Ross.
But in this transaction, she was the party seeking help and was firmly in a passive position, making it difficult for her to negotiate better terms.
She can only pay first and then hope that the other party will abide by the agreement.
Luke remained noncommittal.
This woman loves her daughter so much, what can she do
Ross's choice may not be the best, or even correct.
But until the final result comes out, no one knows whether it is the best or correct.
Life is like a box of chocolates.
Before putting it into your mouth, no one can be sure whether the next piece is real chocolate or shi.
The matter should have ended here.
Until the darkness outside recedes, Ross and the people here can live in peace for the time being.
But when she accidentally showed a photo of her daughter Sharon to a "local woman" in the church, her face changed drastically and she shouted: "Her daughter is the devil, she is the witch's pawn."
After the agreement was reached, Ross's guard was somewhat relaxed and he was pinned down by the crowd that swarmed over him, leaving him no chance to take out the pistol from his bag.
Luke was also speechless: In such a weird place, surrounded by a bunch of ugly strangers, is it necessary to put the only weapon back into the bag
He did not take action, but instead thought about the "devil" that the "local woman" mentioned.
As soon as you look at the picture of Ross's daughter, you conclude that the little girl is the devil and Ross is a minion
Unlike the old lady who initially shouted that Rose was a witch, this local woman's expression didn't seem fake; she really believed it.
Thinking about the information about Ross that I saw on my side, this housewife inexplicably ran to Silent Hill hundreds of kilometers away to look for her missing adopted daughter.
There were too many coincidences in this matter, and he had no way to complain.
Amid the commotion, the locals, at the behest of Dalia, dragged another man out from behind the church.
This is a little girl about seven or eight years old.
When she saw Ross, she called out "Mom" loudly, and her snow-white face was filled with tears, fear and panic.
It was obvious that she was frightened by these locals.
Ross's eyes turned red and he cursed Dalia and her group of people as perverts.
Because her daughter Sharon was tied up with ropes just like her.
Luke, who was listening in, had to admit that the scene of the mother and daughter being tied up by a group of dishevelled, crazed people did look a bit like the prelude to some JPGs.
The old woman, Dalia, who was wearing an old-fashioned dark blue dress and a big bun, had a smile on her face: "What can we give to the devil and her minions?"
"Judgment!" A group of people nearby shouted in unison.
Luke: ... You dare to steal my line? Well, forget it, just wait for the next one and don't let it go.
A group of people started to get busy, shouting slogans.
After a while, a large pile of firewood was stacked in the circular depression in the center of the church, and Ross and Sharon, mother and daughter, were each tied to a long wooden ladder and leaned against the stands on the second floor of the church.
Someone brought a priest's robe to wear for the middle-aged woman named Dalia.
The old woman, with her typical masked smile, spread her hands, walked around the firewood pile, and spoke loudly: "The devil lurks in the dark, and she always wants to threaten the Lord's believers. Today she appeared again, in the form of a child, just to deceive us, make us weak and sympathetic."
She raised her hand and pointed at the little girl Sharon.
Ross cursed: "You damn old woman, she is just a child, you are the devil who should go to hell."
Dalia looked at her with a smile: "See? This is the person who was deceived by the devil and became her minion. This child is obviously not hers, but this woman is willing to risk her life to protect the devil. She has been completely controlled by the devil."
She stopped looking at Rose and glanced at her companions. "Once again, we come together to clear the world of innocence, burn the demons, and purge the evil."
Then she raised her hand and pointed at Sharon: "Burn this incarnation of the devil to death and defeat the devil!"
Everyone around started shouting, drowning out Ross's curses.
After a moment, the old woman Dalia signaled to the people upstairs: "The devil and her minions will eventually be cleansed by the fire of hell and return to hell!"
The people on the second floor began to loosen the ropes tied to the two long wooden ladders, and the wooden ladders on both sides slowly tilted towards the middle.
In the end, Ross and her daughter stopped less than one meter apart, with the remaining three meters away being the huge pile of firewood.
The old woman Dalia showed a hideous smile on her face, grabbed the torch beside her, and walked towards the firewood pile: "Beg for God's forgiveness, devil!"
She threw the torch into the pile of firewood, and the firewood doused with gasoline burst into flames, then quickly grew larger. The flame, as high as a meter, swayed wildly under Ross and her daughter.
The crowd watching cheered as if they were really burning the devil.
Their faces were distorted and their expressions were crazy, like madmen.
But after more than ten seconds, some people began to feel something was wrong: Wait, why is this tasteless
Having burned many people, they are very familiar with the process.
Although Ross and her daughter were some distance away from the fire, the temperature could burn their clothes and hair in a short time, and then their skin and flesh.
The situation is similar to the process of roasting a hairy pig.
Although the Ross mother and daughter in front of him were crying and cursing, but... they looked full of energy, and they didn't look like they were being roasted by fire, right
Luke, who was hiding nearby, shook his head in boredom: Boring! This year's "Devils" are no good. They don't even come out like this.
Think about the Blackheart and the four gift packs of Earth, Water, Fire and Wind; think about Mephisto, each one of them is awesome when they come out.
Although some died and some ran away, at least they had a glorious appearance!
The mother and daughter before us were almost roasted but they didn't explode, and there was no backer to shout "Great Sage, please show mercy". They were complete failures.
This forced him to use his own telekinesis to isolate the temperature at the last moment.
His behavior had nothing to do with Ross and her daughter; he simply disliked those "locals".
They are all famous, none of them are good, they are restless even after death, it's really annoying. He complained in his heart.
A group of locals who had just been immersed in the pleasure of doing evil were now a little panicked. They all looked at the old woman Dalia, wanting this backbone to make a decision.
Dalia's face turned pale and blue, and she gritted her teeth and asked the people on both sides to continue lowering the rope.
If they can't be cooked through in the air, just put them directly into the fire. I don't believe that this won't burn them to death.
A minute later, the church was dead silent except for the sounds of breathing, the crackling of burning wood, and the sobbing of the little girl Sharon who cried too hard.
Even Ross, who was completely crawling on the firewood, was confused: Could this be some kind of "roasting a living person" magic show? It looked like they were being roasted, but in fact it was all an illusion.
Otherwise, why didn’t she and her daughter get even a hair burnt
