Chapter 709: Lily and Ledger

Views:

"Wuwu..Wuwuwu~~" Lily choked in a low voice, her eyes slightly red, her tears soaked the fur, leaving two cheetah-like deep tear marks on the furry mouse's face.

She is now in a dim basement, and the oil lamp hanging on the wall is the only source of light here.

This room looks very strange. The walls are very uneven and there are fingerprints on them. It looks like a crude toy that was squeezed out by a big hand.

Suddenly the room began to shake, and purple light illuminated everything inside. The whole room split in two, and then the Pope walked in from outside carrying a large package.

The moment he walked in, he waved his right hand lightly, and the cracked room closed again, and the room became dim again.

"God! Please excuse me, it took me a while to get rid of some tails. Are you hungry? I brought you some food here."

As Ledger spoke, he opened the backpack behind him and took out various canned meat and vegetable foods, as well as various staple foods.

The metal cans looked no different from paper cans in front of the Pope. He opened them with his bare hands and placed them neatly in front of Lily.

Of course Lily didn't have a good face towards the bad guy who kidnapped her. She glared at him angrily, hugged her tail, turned around and turned her back to him.

The Pope came to Lily, holding a can of luncheon meat, knelt down on his knees, and reverently handed it to her again.

"God, please eat something. It's not pleasant to be hungry. If there is anything in the world that is more painful than death, it is hunger."

Seeing that Lily still ignored him, Ledger stretched out his index finger, scooped up some minced meat with his fingernail and put it in front of her.

"I don't want to eat! I hate you! Get away from me!" Lily stood up angrily and pushed away the fingers in front of her with her little paws.

Seeing that Lily still refused to eat, Ledger suddenly felt a little angry. He reached out and grabbed Lily, trying to force the meat in his hand into her mouth.

Lily closed her eyes and shook her head vigorously, but her resistance was useless in front of Ledger. His thick fingers pushed open her rice-sized front teeth and stuffed it into her throat.

Lily cried desperately, but because of her sudden crying, the minced meat was stuffed into her vocal tract, choking her for a moment, and she began to cough violently.

After Ledger hurriedly helped Lily to calm down, he looked at the golden mouse lying on the ground crying, with a look of deep self-blame on his face.

Before Lily could react, Ledger pulled out a knife and stabbed it directly into his abdomen, stirring it violently.

When he felt the severe pain in his body, his guilt towards Lily was slightly relieved. "God, I must be punished for my blasphemy against you, but I really can't not eat."

Lily, who was lying on the ground, stood up shakily, stared at him with tearful eyes, and cried out in a sobbing voice: "How many times do I have to say it~! I am not your God! I am not!!"

The Pope stretched out his right hand tremblingly, but Lily jumped away. "No, you are my God. Your soul has merged with the green light. I know this."

"It's difficult to get the other six lights back, I know that, but it doesn't matter, I still have a lot of time. Since I was able to save you from the darkness in over a hundred years, I can also use another hundred years to find you! I'm sure of it!"

But Lily disagreed with Ledger's words. "How can it be more than a hundred years? It will take at most two years! The Earth Sea will be completely submerged!"

Pope Ledger smiled and shook his head. "What happened to them has nothing to do with us. Their death will not hinder your return."

"The great Old Ones have never needed humans. You were willing to take them away because of your kindness and goodness. This is unique among gods."

"Although humans are important in your eyes, I know that as long as you are willing, you can easily destroy them or revive them. The fate of mankind depends on your thoughts."

Hearing the other party's words, Lily's pupils trembled slightly. She then remembered that the light that killed so many people before was created by him. He didn't care whether all humans would die or not.

"You, you lunatic! You murderer!" Lily pointed at him with her little paws and cursed loudly.

"Yes, you are right, I am, but I cannot die before you resurrect." Ledger said, and raised the minced meat in his hand again and gave it to Lily with fear in her eyes.

The dinner that day dragged on for a long time, and finally Lily compromised because she found that her resistance was futile. Even if she was choked, this madman would just stab her hard and then continue with an apologetic look.

Because of crying and struggling, Lily had expended a lot of energy. She slept very deeply that night. When she woke up again, it was already ten o'clock the next morning.

When she opened her eyes, she found that she was not locked in the stone house today, but was walked outside in the hands of the crazy boy. There was a city standing not far ahead.

Lily didn't know where that place was, but from the airships rising and falling above the city, she could tell that this place was one of the human bases on the surface.

"God, let's go back to Earthsea now. I know you don't like this place, and I don't like it either." Ledger said softly as he walked quickly towards the city.

"When we get back inside, please stay quiet for a while, okay? You know it's useless even if you call for help. They can't stop me."

After Lily thought about it, he looked up and gave him a big smile. "Okay."

After realizing that it was useless to hold on, clever Lily decided to think of other ways to escape.

Ledger, wearing a gray cloak, did not rush in directly. Instead, he waited for an opportunity and jumped directly onto a train that was emitting white smoke.

After all, in a place like this on the surface, walking into the stronghold alone from the Gobi Desert can be regarded as exposing one's identity.

When Ledger got off the busy train, his short stature made him inconspicuous in the crowd.

However, he still deliberately covered his face with a cloak and avoided the guards, because his wanted posters were hung all over the streets.
