"Let me go! You... you have all been deceived by the elders!"
The moment she was brought into the village, the girl with her hands tied behind her back suddenly started struggling violently. As if being stimulated by something, she glared at several guards with angry eyes, desperately mobilizing her mental power to try to fight back.
However, both he and the boy had a strange black wooden ring on their heads, with densely engraved characters on it. Subsequently, the two people's mental strength was like ants that were blocked from the exit, unable to crawl out.
The Punisher's Ring... They knew about this thing, but this was the first time they experienced its horror in person.
"Shut up!" The guard immediately walked up, kicked the girl to the ground, and said impatiently, "Traitor! Not only did you live up to the expectations of the goddess, you even brought the enemy to the island. What qualifications do you have to speak? say?"
The girl was covered in mud and her body curled up in pain. The young man was a little anxious and immediately moved towards his sister, but was punched to the ground by another guard.
Seeing this scene, the villagers passing by also took a detour, or hid in their rooms, quietly watching everything happening at the entrance of the village.
"Those two children... are not the Harrows'..."
"Shh! Keep your voice down and don't say that name. Have you forgotten what the elder said before? They have been exiled by the goddess a long time ago and no longer belong to our island."
"But why are they two back again? I thought the elder had dealt with them all long ago..."
The frightened and curious villagers whispered. Although they could not reach the ears of the two siblings, the vague and sharp gaze made them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar at that moment.
They were recognized…
Complex emotions welled up in their hearts, including bitterness, anger and shame... They seemed to have lost the strength to get up, and even had the urge to commit suicide.
"Restless brats..." The guard captain looked at the two of them with disdain in his eyes, "Why are you pretending to be dead? Get the hell up! Why are you so anxious? In a few minutes, it will be easy for you to die!" "
He put his feet close to the girl's face and forced the girl to turn over with her head lowered.
The girl clenched her teeth, but her whole face was trembling. A few tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, which were extremely inconspicuous against the mud and sweat.
"We... are not... traitors..." she said in a very low voice.
"What are you talking about? Get up quickly and don't waste time here!"
"Brother Shan En, we are really not traitors. We want to save you." The young man crawled over from the edge and leaned on the guard's legs, praying, "The elders have been lying to everyone. They force us to offer sacrifices every year , plundering the virgins in the village at will is not for some goddess at all... "
"You bastard, shut up!"
The captain of the guard, known as Sean, kicked him in such an angry manner that he kicked out the boy's unfinished words and his left front tooth. Screams and dark blood flowed out of the boy's mouth.
The young man fell to the ground again, and now he really couldn't get up.
The guard continued to walk over. What he did just now didn't seem to relieve the anger in his heart, and he still wanted to take action to teach the young man more lessons.
"Brother Shan En, don't... don't hurt him!" The girl quickly raised her head and begged, "You... didn't you often take us out to sea to fish when we were children? For the sake of our former friendship, please don't hurt him... "
When the guard captain heard this, his expression changed and he immediately distanced himself from the relationship: "Nonsense! I, I have never had any friendship with you traitors! Don't talk nonsense, I don't know you at all! I, I have nothing to do with you!"
The girl froze on the spot, a trace of despair suddenly appeared in her heart.
At that moment, she discovered that the place where she had lived since childhood seemed so strange. What's even more ironic is that she didn't feel this way even when she realized the elder's lie.
The elders and priests were not the only ones who abandoned them...
She felt a little regretful as to why she had to return to this place for revenge. She thought they had grown strong enough to face their past. But it wasn't until a few hours ago that she realized that they were too young and the three elders were too scary. She didn't know when those people began to be able to command the ancestral spirits, and even Master Benjamin was dragged into the illusion.
At that time, an imperceptible sound wave sounded in the jungle, and the girl didn't even notice what was going on. However, Benjamin, who was still talking to them, suddenly turned in another direction the next second.
At that time, the two siblings didn't know what happened, but Benjamin flew directly into the air after a while and disappeared without a trace. No matter how hard they chased him, they couldn't catch him. They also immediately realized that the elder had set up an illusion, but... they were completely unable to resist this power.
Because they had practiced telekinesis, they were not affected by hallucinations, and they also tried to use telekinesis to crack this thing. But when their spiritual power spread around, they immediately collided with the aura of the ancestral spirits. Not only did they suffer a bloody head injury, but the priest in the altar also discovered their location.
At the moment when the mental power collided, the girl could even sense the stunned emotion from the opposite mental power.
- She felt that the other party must be shocked that the two siblings were not dead.
The two of them realized the danger at that time and wanted to move quickly. However, after a while, several priests led a large group of guards and surrounded them. By that time, Master Benjamin had no idea where he had been taken by the hallucination, and there was only despair in their hearts.
They were no match for several priests and a group of guards.
Soon, the two siblings were subdued and put on the Punisher Ring, which blocked their mental power. They were brought into the altar and subjected to a series of harsh interrogations. The elder confronted them for a long time. With deep hatred, the girl gritted her teeth and said nothing. In the end, the three elders had to stop the interrogation because they had to deal with the church's invasion, and the two siblings were ordered to be banished.
Exile... The girl knew exactly what this word meant here.
Not exiled from the island, but exiled from the world. A body stained with sin is no longer qualified to stay in the world created by the goddess.
Finally, the guards escorted them from the altar back to the village. However, the familiar things in front of them did not make them feel friendly, and the people they were familiar with before looked at them like strangers... They were already desperate enough in their hearts, but now they were told that there was something even more worthy of despair.
"You brat, are you pretending to be dead? Get up quickly!"
The guard captain walked over, raised his left foot, and kicked the boy hard on the back. The boy screamed, coughed violently, and spit out blood one after another.
The girl quickly endured the despair in her heart and leaned forward to beg: "Don't... don't fight anymore. Aren't the elders going to expel us? If he is beaten to death, his soul will always stay here... "
Hearing this, the guard captain finally showed some fear, retracted his left foot and let out a cold snort.
"Forget it...you're going to die later anyway." He murmured in a low voice and picked up the trembling young man from the ground. Obviously, the boy could no longer walk on his own, so they could only drive him towards their destination.
The girl could only show a dull expression, lowered her head, and followed obediently. Sometimes she raised her head and glanced at her dying brother, with complicated fear flashing in her eyes.
However, at this moment...
"Brother Shan En! Hurry, the elder has a new order. Don't deal with these two brats yet. Come with me!" Suddenly a figure ran over from outside, wearing the same clothes as the guards, and shouted hurriedly.
At that moment, everyone was in a daze.
"What's going on, you..."
The guard captain named Shan En seemed to be a little confused, but the guard immediately ran over, grabbed the other person's hand and shouted: "Quick! The followers of the Filthy Light have broken through the blockade of the priests and are rushing towards the village. Come here! We need support!"
Suddenly, everyone was shocked: "Breaking through the blockade? How is it possible!"
"It's absolutely true. I don't have time to explain to you. Come with us quickly!"
"Then...then these two brats..."
"Bring them here together! The elder said that they can be used as sacrifices to the ancestors. Only by doing this can we stop the enemy's invasion!"
These guards were actually still in a somewhat dazed state. However, the other party's anxious tone gradually infected them and made them panic.
Blockade broken? How can it be? But... if it is broken through...
The sea outside is full of monsters, and enemies will appear on the island, which has subverted their cognition. In fact, they were a little panicked from the beginning. Although the elder looked very calm, they also felt something bad from the conversation between the priests.
Those followers of the Filthy Light are powerful! a large amount! The situation is dangerous!
"Quick! Hurry over and provide support!"
Confusing thoughts flashed through his mind. The guard captain panicked and immediately shouted. He immediately grabbed the two brats, followed the guard who reported the message, and ran out with the other guards. He didn't even have time to take a closer look at the face of the messenger.
