"You're just Ash Heath."
Why does it feel like this name has become a swear word
Name Ash Heath, gender Ash Heath, crime Ash Heath
Ash was tied up and lying on the ground, his face dirty and dusty. The pain in his back surged like a tide, making him groan and sob in pain. He had no intention of refutating Yongjie Changzai's words.
The necromancer next to him sympathized and said, "So it turns out that what you said before about being wronged was true, Ash. I thought it was just a joke exclusive to you. At that time, I thought the leader of the Four Pillars Cult was quite humorous."
"I think he is just stupid." Igula said coldly, "You still can't see the situation clearly even at this point. You dare to bargain when your life is in the hands of the other party. Would a lumberjack be afraid of a tree because the handle of the axe is also made of wood?"
"You can only flatter and please them so that you can become their axe, but you are like a cockroach and insist on jumping in their face. If they don't slap you to death on the spot, it's considered a good temper. If you want to work, do it or not, get out. They don't need a migrant worker like you. Even the little brats in the orphanage know that it's time to bow their heads and start working. Only you would ask about salary, benefits, and labor contracts..."
Harvey wanted to argue for Ash, but when he noticed that Ash was just staring at Igula with resentment, muttering dirty words that only Ash could hear, he shut up. Ash was injured now, and it was the time to divert his attention. Igula's teasing just happened to stir up his emotions, and he was so angry that he forgot the pain in his body.
But Harvey felt that Igula's scolding was strange - you know, if Ash had really acted according to Eternal Tribulation's words just now, then he and Igula would be the ones howling in pain now. Why did Igula still have a sarcastic tone of being disappointed in his friend and hating his shit for not being able to make a living? Did he want Ash to survive by stepping on their two corpses
“Woo woo┭┮﹏┭┮…”
"Let me go, Dad, Mom—"
"Woo, woo, woo, woo! I want my mommy, mommy!"
The shrill and noisy voices of children filled the hall, and Harvey and Igula showed disgusted expressions at the same time. They didn't hate the Four Pillars Cult for attacking children, but they hated the noise of children - the Blood Moon people have always had a very low tolerance for cubs.
But after listening for a while, Igula suddenly asked in a low voice: "Why are they all shouting for mom and dad? Are mom and dad the heroes here?"
Seeing Igula and Harvey asking such questions like illiterate people, Ash suddenly felt like laughing.
Although it was the first time he heard the way parents were addressed in this country, Ash knew who they were calling just from the tone of voice. After all, the way parents were addressed were composed of the most common syllables.
"Yes, as long as you shout out this sentence, mom and dad will devote their whole lives to you."
Harvey became serious: "We are not from this country, will our parents protect us?"
Ash wanted to continue teasing them, but for some reason he suddenly lost interest and did not answer. The crying children were brought around them, also bound by miracle chains, crying loudly, some sobbing softly, some wailing loudly, each of them was a delicate young child, not as tall as the wheel, and about the same size as Eternal Calamity on the Silver Throne.
“Is the young child worthy of being a sacrifice…?” Igula asked softly.
"In the Four Pillars, children are the symbol of 'purity'. Only children who have not been polluted by society can breed pure evil, pure good, pure hatred, and pure joy, just like flawless gems." Ash recalled Heath's criminal record and his face looked a little ugly: "They are not the best sacrifices, but they are the easiest to find."
"Hey, look at that girl." Harvey said suddenly.
Ash looked over and found that it was a very cute and delicate little girl with white hair. He thought that Harvey had become a little more normal. Although he was still very perverted, at least the object was alive.
But he soon understood what Harvey meant—the little white-haired girl was too calm.
She didn't cry, nor was she frightened, but was calmly observing the situation around her. Noticing the gazes of the three villains, she blinked her eyes, instantly revealing a pitiful and lovely expression that made people want to protect her, as if she was hoping that a hero could save her from danger.
"Actor queen." Igula gave an accurate evaluation with disdain. Harvey and Ash were also quite disappointed - they thought this little Loli had some hidden card, so she was so calm, but they didn't expect that she could only act cute.
As they were talking, the black-robed cultists made way for a large open space in the middle for them. The suspended plate above them suddenly exploded, and four rivers of fire flowed down, forming four concentric circles around their group of sacrifices. The blazing fire rings isolated them from the outside world.
Ancient and strange chants echoed in the underground halls:
"Billions of glories, billions of incarnations, billions of possibilities..."
"The messenger of wind and snow, clear and blue, suppresses evil..."
"Eternal burning, eternal life, eternal wandering..."
"Dreamlike freedom..."
"This is my most sincere prayer, I hope the four pillars of saints will be merciful and look down upon me!"
After the believers finished praying, Yongjie's cute and innocent voice slowly rang out: "The sacrifices indicated by the oracle have been collected."
"In the name of Selina Bright, offer the Four Pillar Gods a sacrifice in the ring of fire - three people from foreign lands and sixteen pure people!"
Finished.
Igula sighed secretly. He didn't expect that he didn't die in the process of escaping from prison, nor did he die in the pursuit of the Criminal Hunting Hall, but died in the sacrifice of the Four Pillar God Cult.
To round it off, it's equivalent to death at the hands of Ash.
If I hadn't flirted with this new guy in prison... If I hadn't thought of him as prey...
Igula suddenly smiled, suppressing the trace of regret that rose in his heart - compared to rotting in Broken Lake Prison, he would rather perform a grand Blood Moon Trial and a gorgeous prison escape, and then die.
He wanted to thank Ash Hiss, who helped him escape from the boring prison life and embark on the brilliant path of death.
It is said that after the death of a wicked person, his soul must pass through the seven levels of hell and suffer torture before it can rest in peace in the virtual world. All the resentful souls harmed by the wicked are waiting for this best opportunity for revenge, and can't wait to return the disaster they have suffered to the wicked person tenfold or a hundredfold.
Dear cult leader, with your great achievements, there must be many people in hell who want to play games with you. But it doesn't matter, I am also a bad guy, I will accompany you to deal with them.
Igula turned his head to look at Ash, but saw that the cult leader had no fear on his face. He seemed to have something to rely on. He straightened his back tremblingly, raised his head proudly, and said loudly to the sky:
"In the name of Ash Hiss, offer a sacrifice outside the ring of fire to the Four Pillars - all the cultists in the underground hall!"
