With the blessing of the power of nature, Alotota moved quickly, but a black shadow had been following him all along, like an old hunter watching his prey escape, enjoying not just the brief moment of pulling the trigger.
Finally, at a fountain square under a sculpture, Alotota stopped and released Delice, who had been with him all along. Delice covered her chest and knelt down, starting to retch from the previous fast-paced movement, which had caused her to feel as dizzy as if she were in a car.
Dis appeared in front of them, calm compared to Alotota's panting.
"I am willing to pay the price to atone for my sins. You can name it, as long as I can do it," Alotota said.
There was no law in the religious world, as every religion considered its god to be the supreme being, and their followers were also supreme. But since the rise of the Order of the Gods, the law of the religious world had also emerged.
Dis shook his head and walked straight over.
"I have never seen such a serious judge like you," Alotota took out a blessed holy mirror from his pocket.
Dis shook his head. "Actually, I'm not."
"Then it's just my bad luck?" Alotota found it absurd.
"Yes." Dis gave the answer in a calm tone.
"In the name of the God of Nature, please give your followers the protection of nature!" Green, symbolizing vitality, began to ripple from Alotota's body.
"In the name of the natural mirror handed down from the hand of Xigulei, please give me the power of blessing!" The mirror projected a white glow, forming a shiny armor on Alotota's body.
"In the name of the messenger of nature, summon the power of nature around me and forgive me!" Firefly-like creatures began to gather around Alotota, forming a barrier-like presence.
"Mother Earth, please give your children your love!" Alotota knelt down and opened a scroll with one hand, while the other palm touched the ground. The next moment, a starlight array appeared on the ground.
Then, he took out a crystal pendant hanging around his neck. "The only one in the mist, please guide your lost followers!" Black mist appeared in the crystal pendant, enveloping the surroundings.
"Lost Light Church, please sprinkle your light on this broken stone tablet, and let your halo return to the world!" Another layer of golden light continued to cover.
Alotota not only used the techniques of the Berry Church, but also other religious artifacts, including damaged artifacts of the extinct Church of Light.
During this process, Dis continued to walk at the same pace, not speeding up at all despite Alotota's continuous use of spells and artifacts.Finally,
Dis arrived at the Starlight Array;
Inside, various attribute powers were circulating, blessing and protecting in layers.
The natural power of the Berry Church played an excellent role as a mediator at this moment. If it were someone else, using so many different churches' holy artifacts and powers of different attributes could easily cause a self-collision and explosion.
"I sense fear. Even though I have applied so many layers of defense, my intuition given by the God of Nature tells me that you are looking at me as if I am an ant.
This is truly ridiculous;
The Order of the Gods is very powerful, I admit, but I don't think any random judge under the Order of the Gods can be this powerful.
Please tell me this isn't real."
Dis opened his hands and chanted:
"Forbidden - Order Eternal - Erase."
"Forbidden... Forbidden... Forbidden Curse???"
A radiance symbolizing order appeared in front of Dis;
It appeared,
And disappeared;
Disappeared with it were the natural power of the Berry Church, the mirror power of Sigu Lei, the blessing power of the Earth God Church, the void power of the Mist Church, and the light protection of the Light Church;
As well as,
Alotta himself,
And even,
His clothes,
As if this Berry Church priest had never existed before.
The fountain that was previously shining brightly was now silent.
"I'm sorry."
Because your feeling was correct.
"Cough... cough..."
Dis coughed twice and looked at Delise, who was standing beside him with a blank expression.
Delise didn't stand in front of the radiance, so she still existed;
But she suffered from the radiance's impact;
Any church would call the outside demons polluted, but no church would think that their own religious doctrine would also have polluted attributes.
But in reality, it did.
The pollution here was incidental erasure.
For example, Delise had already lost part of her memory and thinking, and even her soul was incomplete. She would fall into madness for the rest of her life.
In fact, she was already mad.
After a brief daze, she immediately ran to the fountain pool and shouted frantically at her reflection in the water:
"We want to protect the environment! We want to protect the environment! We want to protect the environment!"
At this moment,
She was sincere and devout, without any impurities, because the impurities no longer existed.
Dis turned around,
Walked back,
Find the original at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
And disappeared under the not-so-dense streetlights of Roja City.
...
"Are you hungry?"
Karun asked Alfred.
"Young master, I think it's a great loss for Lady Molly not to come tonight, so I want to give her these spring rolls tomorrow to give her a chance to make up for her regrets."
"You're right, I agree."
"Thank you for your permission.""Later you'll have to sit in the front and drive, I'm afraid you'll have bad breath then."
"Great you, always so thoughtful."
"Alright, let's load up."
"Okay."
The bodies of the old senators Haggert, Ford, and Mr. Oka were also thrown into the car.
At this moment, the new hearse bought by the Inmores family seemed extremely crowded and cramped.
Karun could only sit at the end, leaving more space for the "passengers."
And at this moment,
Grandpa came back.
"You're back." Karun said.
Dis got on the car and didn't comment on the crowded space, but asked:
"Is it over?"
"Yes." Karun folded up the list.
"Okay." Dis closed his eyes.
Karun waved, signaling Alfred to drive.
He didn't ask what happened to the red-robed sacrifice who jumped off the building, because he instinctively believed that since Dis was back, that "demon" must no longer exist.
He also didn't ask Dis why he didn't bring the body back,
Because it was useless to ask,
The hearse was already full.
Perhaps,
In the future, he could suggest to Uncle Mason to add hooks similar to those in a slaughterhouse to the top of the back compartment of the hearse, so that guests could go from lying down to hanging, and the passenger capacity could be increased several times.
Three o'clock in the morning;
The hearse returned to the door of the Inmores family on Mingke Street.
Diligent Alfred brought a stretcher and transported the bodies one by one into the basement of the house, without any help from Karun or Dis;
No wonder Uncle Mason had the idea of whether to dismiss Ron.
Karun and Dis stood at the door, the position where they drew the circle before leaving.
"Did you enjoy tonight?" Dis asked.
"Are you talking about the music tonight?" Karun asked.
It was only then that Karun remembered that the old second-hand radio that Alfred had bought for several thousand Lus had not been taken off the car.
Karun walked to the driver's seat, opened the door, and carried the radio on his shoulder.
Actually, it wasn't heavy at all, it looked big, but it was just some wood and parts inside.
"This is tonight's souvenir." Karun said.
This has actually given the answer, to go to a concert overnight, although tired when returning, when waking up the next day for breakfast, one can still savor it.
"Many people choose to believe in the Order of the Gods because of nights like this, using their own power to exercise their own justice, to uphold the order that should have been upheld.
Unfortunately, this understanding is..."
"Shallow." Karun interrupted.
Dis paused for a moment and continued, "This understanding is correct."
"..." Karun.
"A thousand years ago, the Pope of the Light God Church, who was about to perish, shouted from the top of the tower of the church on a crazy night that he never believed in the existence of the God of Light."Many people thought it was his insane ramblings after being contaminated, a sign of his corruption...
But,
I think he was speaking from his heart.
The closer you are to the gods, the more you realize that they are becoming increasingly untrustworthy.
You become more and more firm in your beliefs when you first join the faith, and then begin to constantly question the meaning of this long life after joining. How much meaning does it really have?
"But some things can never be understood without experiencing them firsthand."
"So, do you want to understand?" Dis suddenly asked.
Pu'erh, who had been dozing off, suddenly perked up at these words.
"I'll follow Grandfather's arrangements," Karun said.
He doesn't believe in the Order of the Divine Faith,
But he praises order.
So if there is a way to gain the ability to "praise order" like Dis, he is willing.
If it were before tonight, he might hesitate and hesitate, especially after the tragic death of Karun's parents.
But now,
He admits,
He cannot resist this temptation.
Mr. Morv is lying in front of him, unable to move;
Can the kind of "peaceful years" he thought really continue?
When there is a god who can break the established rules standing in this world, what can really give you security?
Perhaps his understanding is too extreme;
But Karun cannot help but be extreme, especially after seeing the plight of the Sisso family. If you try to put yourself in the shoes of their family that night, you will not have the possibility of hesitation.
Not to mention his almost "foregone conclusion" as an evil god.
Dis smiled, "I remember saying before I left."
Karun took a deep breath and slowly exhaled,
Saying:
"I hope Grandfather lives a long life."
This is not sarcasm or irony. After all, who can refuse such a grandfather?
"But people always die, even gods are no exception," Dis said. "You can reconsider your study abroad plans. High school courses should not be difficult for you, right?"
"Why?" Karun asked.
"Studying well is what you should do. Isn't that what you said before?"
"I'm curious why Grandfather has changed his mind. You said you wanted your family to be with you all the time."
"When I'm alive, of course I want that. But if I'm not here, do I want my family to live in a cemetery?"
"This..."
"I'm tired and need to rest."
Dis walked into the house.
Karun followed behind and asked, "Grandfather, did something happen?"
"Nothing will affect the Inmoleis family before I leave."
"No, Grandfather, it's not appropriate for you to speak like that. It's very taboo."
Dis stopped and looked back at Karun, saying:"I've even cursed the God of Order, what taboo do I have to fear?"
"That's different. As your family, I don't want anything to happen to our family, especially after you've repeatedly mentioned those things as if you're leaving instructions for after you're gone."
"Young Master, the bodies have all been moved... "
"If you're not here, Alfred might just swallow me whole."
"..." Alfred.
"If I'm not here, you can take them and be even freer."
"You're doing it again." Karun walked up and grabbed Dis' arm. Dis coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"What's wrong? Are you hurt?" Karun asked anxiously.
"It's nothing, just a side effect of using the forbidden curse."
"..." Alfred.
"Then let's not come to things like tonight in the future. Let's just do business and make money. Get dowries ready for Mina and Chris."
"Sometimes it's not that you're looking for trouble, but that trouble finds you and can't be avoided." Dis gently pushed away Karun's support. "Anyway, I'll pray to the God of Order worshipped by that whore and pray that he won't let me die..."
Dis smiled at his grandson.
"Because I'll warn him, and he won't be able to bear the consequences of my death."
"When you pray, call me and we'll warn the God of Order worshipped by that whore together."
"Okay."
Dis walked up the stairs.
Karun didn't follow. He still had some loose ends to tie up, like the final note in a song.
"Young Master."
"Alfred, could you please bring me a glass of ice water to the basement?"
"Of course, Young Master."
Karun entered the basement. Tonight, it was bustling with nine guests.
Aunt Mary's workshop was already too crowded, so all nine guests were placed in the morgue. Even in the dead of winter, there was no need for air conditioning.
Karun turned on the lights and pulled over a round stool from the workshop.
In the four coffins lay the Sisso family.
On the ground beside them lay Mr. Moore, the editor-in-chief, Fude, Haggert, and Oka.
If these five people could still speak and stand up now, they probably wouldn't believe that someone would kill them all just because four lowlifes died.
Hmm, even Karun himself still felt a little unreal.
"Phew..."
Karun let out a sigh and muttered to himself.
"I really wish Lady Molly was here, so she could vomit out Mrs. Shus completely."
Karun laughed and pointed to the four coffins, then to the five people lying dead on the ground."What is art, what is artistic value, what is the impact that comes from art? It's not something you can achieve just by killing a few people around you and setting up a display.
Look here,
Look at this,
These four coffins and five people, put together...
Hm,
That feeling of suffocating art is already coming.
It's like a balance, placing them together, it's one of the best forms of art.
No,
They're not even together yet.
The Sisso family is now lying comfortably in coffins, hehehe, these five people aren't even worthy of being put in coffins."
Karun muttered to himself.
At the slope, Alfred, holding a glass of ice water, wisely stopped in his tracks, hiding his figure in the shadows of the corridor lights, not disturbing his young master's enjoyment at this moment.
After his speech,
Karun pursed his lips.
His gaze swept over each of the four coffins of the Sisso family, then walked over and knocked on each one.
"Thump..."
"Thump..."
"Thump..."
"Thump..."
Like knocking on a door, as if this family was sleeping.
After knocking on each coffin,
Karun sat down on the round stool.
"Get up and take a look."
From under Karun's feet, black chains spread out and extended to the bottom of each coffin. The entire basement was filled with a solemn and solemn atmosphere that could not be described in words.
Alfred, holding the ice water, looked on in shock and ecstasy!
Tonight,
I dance with the evil god to the same rhythm and melody!
Who else but the evil god can do this!
Lady Molly even said to herself that Karun was too easy-going!
Hahaha,
What do low-level demons know,
The real evil god should be like this.
Without experiencing purification, he could use "awakening" so naturally.
Oh evil god, forgive me for not being able to kneel and worship you while holding ice water.
But my heart has already surrendered to you!
Study;
Puerh, who returned to the study with Dis, asked curiously, "Dis, did they send someone from the Council? But since you don't plan to kill Karun, you must have hidden and covered up the problem with your god-summoning ritual. There shouldn't be any problems because of this.
Who did they send?
Why did you say these things tonight?
No,
Dis,
What did you sacrifice for the god-summoning ritual?"
Suddenly,
A strange aura filled the air.
Puerh immediately widened her cat eyes and exclaimed, "It's coming again!"
Dis, on the other hand, smiled.
"He hasn't experienced purification yet, he hasn't even started, Dis, do I really need to worship an evil god who can make all kinds of fish?
Although I don't think there's anything wrong with it,
And your dissuasion probably won't work on me,
But I think,
You should try to dissuade me a little, that would be more normal.""Perhaps, my grandson, he is not a demon." Dis spoke up.
"Hahaha, here you are again. He's not a demon, did you summon the god of order?"
Dis shook his head and said, "Is it possible that my grandson is just like the god of order, a pure...resurrected person?"
...
"Squeak..."
The sound of friction came from the four unsealed coffins.
This sound was particularly eerie and sinister in the underground basement at night.
Karun sat quietly, like the only listener to this eerie concert.
Finally, the coffin covers were successively lifted, and Karun saw Xiso, Xiso's mother, Xiso's daughter, and Xiso's wife sitting up from the coffins one after another. They all looked at Karun with bewildered eyes.
Karun took out a Morv gold-framed cigarette from his pocket, only the last one left.
He regretted not bringing a new pack or more back from Mr. Morv's study, to give to his uncle to offer to guests.
But, was it allowed to rob property according to the "Order Regulations"?
Or was it called confiscating illegal gains from demons?
Karun took out his lighter and prepared to light the cigarette, saying, "The enemy who killed your family is here. Now, you can take revenge."
Xiso's family climbed out of the coffins and came to the ground.
Karun's hand trembled slightly as he lit the cigarette.
In the end, he didn't light it, and said with a laugh, "Heh..."
He pinched the cigarette in his hand and blinked hard, suppressing the moisture in his eyes.
Because Xiso's family, who crawled out of the coffins, didn't angrily pounce on Mr. Morv and the other five people to vent their anger, but instead hugged each other tightly.
