Wang Xu and Yan Li silently followed the crowd, and they soon noticed that the villagers were not heading towards the old house, but somewhere else. However, Wang Xu decided to continue following. After all, reappearance of such a death scene is very valuable, and many clues can be obtained.
After wandering around in the woods for a while, suddenly, a gust of humid air rushed in, and everyone's eyes suddenly opened up. Under the bright moonlight, a wide lake appeared in front of them.
"Lake Louise!" Wang Xu's first reaction was surprise, unexpectedly they came back here after making a big circle.
Yan Li turned her head and looked at the mountains in the distance: "We didn't seem to see those mountains when we first walked out of the woods..." This is indeed a suspicious point. If they had discovered those snow-capped mountains before, they should have already guessed where they were. up.
Wang Xu replied: "I didn't notice it, but now that the moon is out, of course I can see farther."
This is obviously a pass-through, similar to a self-comforting explanation, but Yan Li couldn't figure out what was going on, so she stopped talking.
The crowd continued to move forward until they reached the edge of the lake. At this time, there were no big hotels beside Lake Louise, and the moonlight reflected the gem-like brilliance on the lake, like a piece of flawless jade in the rough, beautiful and magnificent.
But what happened next was very ugly...
Surrounded by several healthy young people, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl was pushed out from the crowd. Her mouth was gagged, her body was tied with ropes, and her face was stained with wet tears.
Wang Xu and Yan Li didn't notice her before, presumably because she was always surrounded by the center of the crowd, and she was short and unable to scream.
The girl lowered her head and walked towards the lake with heavy steps. The villagers surrounded the lake with three layers inside and three layers outside. The crowd formed a crescent shape. A man who looked like a priest and an old man stood in the middle, indicating The boys drove the girl away with pitchforks and torches.
"They're going to drive her into the lake!" Yan Li said.
Wang Xu replied, "I saw it."
"Is that how you look at it?"
"What else can I do? This is something that has already happened. We can see it, but we can't touch it, and we can't change it."
At this time, a person's roar suddenly came from the woods behind, "Wait!"
Everyone turned their heads to look at the source of the voice, and a ray of hope ignited in the girl's despairing eyes.
A young man who looked extremely embarrassed walked into the moonlight. He was panting heavily and looked haggard. It seemed that every step he took took a lot of strength.
"Let Aisha Lina go! I can die for him!" He still wanted to move forward, but two men approached quickly, one on the left and one on the right to support him.
"Paul! Defon! I remember telling you to lock him up! Why is he here now!" the old man standing there roared with his bellows-like broken gong voice.
The two men who were chasing the girl away with a pitchfork replied: "I'm sorry, Mr. Rigg, we have tied him up and locked him in the cellar, but he escaped..."
The old man Rigg continued to shout: "Derek, you'd better not interfere with this matter, you are just a stranger! A passer-by! This is a matter of our village, you have no right to intervene!"
Derek struggled to get rid of the restraint, but he was exhausted and unable to shake off the two men beside him: "You are murder! You have no right to decide the life or death of others!"
"Shut up!" the priest said, his eyes were fierce at the moment, he didn't look like a clergyman at all: "If because of your nonsensical words, God sends wrath and disasters to us, how will you be responsible?!"
"Fuck you bitch gods! As I said, the plague is just a disease, not a curse! There is no god to blame!"
"What are you still doing in a daze! Drag him away!" Rieger snapped.
The priest was very emotional: "This presumptuous heathen...how arrogant, he doesn't know what he is talking about!" Then he shouted loudly to the crowd: "Our God, he is God's most powerful assistant, He has always protected us from disease and disaster. But Athalina! The wanton bitch! She took and harbored this heretic, and angered the gods! Therefore, our god was furious, and he will let We pay with blood! The plague is just the beginning, if we don’t sacrifice this woman’s life, everyone will die!”
The crowd immediately became noisy and clamorous, the women showed terrified expressions, the men waved their fists in outrage, even some old people shouted: "Kill this bitch!", and more voices shouted: "Kill the bitch!" Send the heathen to hell too!"
Derek was pulled further and further away, but he still didn't give up, he kept yelling: "You murderers! Facing the fear of the unknown, you refuse to face up to your ignorance! Instead, you want to seek peace of mind by killing others! You are all murderers! Murderers!"
Through layers of barriers, the girl's eyes and Derek have been looking at each other. They really want to hold each other's hands and hold each other in their arms, even if they die, they can die together... But at this moment, the eyes is the only thing that can tie them together.
Derek soon sees a scene that changes his life.
Aisha Lina smiled, the smile was full of bitterness and helplessness, but also relieved, her eyes seemed to beg him: "Forget it, you have to live a good life and forget about me."
With such a smile, the girl turned her head, walked into that beautiful lake, and walked into the abyss of death...
The crowd immediately fell silent, even the priest and the old man Rigg stopped talking, and everyone stood there as if frozen, and the two men who wanted to take Derek away also let go of their hands.
Derek was shouting and crying hysterically, he could not stand still, he stumbled all the way to push the crowd towards the lake, finally knelt down on the sandy ground, and uttered the most mournful words in his already hoarse voice roar.
After an unknown amount of time, he knelt on the ground like that, buried his head between his legs, and grabbed the sand on the ground with his hands until his nails turned up and blood gushed out. Tears are a luxury, he can't shed them anymore, he doesn't even have the strength to cry out, he can only choke and tremble.
Wang Xu sighed in his heart: It is true that men do not shed tears lightly, but it is only because they are not yet sad.
The priest was the first to break the silence: "Heretic, you killed her, get out of our village, you are not welcome here!"
"Shameless!" Yan Li trembled with anger, "It was clearly him and that Rieger who forced her to death, yet they still claimed that someone else killed her!"
Wang Xu said: "Hey... I understand now, this is similar to offering sacrifices to river gods in Journey to the West. People... they are really terrible animals. It is not an eye-catching thing to sacrifice others for the sake of self-sufficiency. Blink, not only have you done this, but you have to occupy the moral high ground in the end, not for your own survival, but for everyone's safety."
"You're right." Derek said.
Wang Xu was startled, and thought: What's the matter? Can this dude hear me
Yan Li hid behind Wang Xu, tugged at the hem of his clothes, and whispered in his ear: "Everyone is gone..."
Wang Xu felt a blur in front of his eyes, and it was true that there were only people here just now, and Derek was the only one left. Naturally, the light from the torch also disappeared, leaving only a crescent moon still hanging in the sky.
Derek stood up, but didn't look back: "These people are all murderers. They killed an innocent person, my savior." He raised his head, as if looking up at the sky: "So, these people have to do it for you." This pays the price."
"You killed them all?" Wang Xu asked tentatively.
Unexpectedly, Derek suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "They don't deserve to live!!"
Wang Xu asked: "Oh, in that sense, you have already succeeded, right... I don't want to ask how you slaughtered the village, I just want to ask, what is your relationship with Manson? Also, let us What is the purpose of watching such a past?"
Derek snorted coldly: "Manson? I don't want to waste time discussing things about him. As for the reason why I asked you to read these..." He turned around slowly, his face was pale, like a walking dead, He faced Wang Xu and said, "You, I saw what you did to her."
Both Wang Xu and Yan Li's expressions changed, and they both asked in unison: "What did you see!" in a rather angry tone.
Derek was as calm as before, and said to Wang Xu: "You brought her soul... back... I need your power."
Wang Xu acted like he had been pardoned: "Oh~ this matter."
Yan Li raised her brows upside down: "What do you think is going on!"
"Cut... I was thinking whatever you were thinking just now." Wang Xu replied arrogantly.
Yan Li was told what was wrong with her and was speechless, so she could only pinch Wang Xu to vent her anger.
Wang Xu's complexion immediately became unsightly, as if he had been constipated for three or four days, and he said something to Derek in a strange tone, a sentence that could make Derek so angry: "I think you're still sad Bar… "
